Sweet Wife Arrives: Mr. CEO, Please Pamper Me-Chapter 869: V705: Love Is Traversing Mountains and Rivers, Love Is a Lifelong Obsession [52]_2
In an instant, Mai Manxiang’s eyes shimmered with a slight quiver.
"In the end...," Feng Chengyue said, "as women, when it comes to feelings, what we want and don’t want, we actually feel the same. The jealousy and malice you showed when you appeared in front of me some time ago weren’t feigned. The difficulties I’ve encountered these days in the village, and even my near accident, I think Miss Mai should be most aware of the source. Now you’re left with no options, thinking you can’t deal with me, so you want to compromise and share Qiu Mingyan with me. But... Miss Mai, everyone feels jealousy, not to mention that you’re by Qiu Mingyan’s side, I would feel jealous too. Even if I didn’t feel jealous, given your past actions, I wouldn’t accept you. Miss Mai, both Mingyan and I just want to love one person for a lifetime until we grow old together. I love him, and I want to be the only woman by his side, and he feels the same too. The three of us together, it’s not something we can accept. You should leave..."
In that moment, the entire room echoed with the gentle, smooth voice of Feng Chengyue.
But Mai Manxiang’s heart felt as if it had been split into countless pieces, especially when she heard "he feels the same too..."
Tears streamed down like a waterfall as Mai Manxiang said, "Is it because I once deliberately delayed my age past the marriageable age in the village so that he couldn’t turn back, and that’s why he hates me?"
Feng Chengyue, upon hearing this, slightly furrowed her brows and said, "Hate might be too strong a word. After all, you’re the daughter of his Uncle Mai, so he naturally feels a brotherly responsibility towards you, but his inability to accept is real. Miss Mai, matters of the heart are complicated, but to want others to accept you, at the very least, the two of you must have compatible values. He can’t accept your values and your way of doing things, and if you force him to accept, he won’t be able to do it."
In an instant, it seemed she understood the source of the rejections throughout the years.
Tears flowed from Mai Manxiang’s eyes like broken pearls...
"So that’s how it is... so that’s how it is!"
Feng Chengyue sighed internally but couldn’t find anything to say.
Mai Manxiang paused for a moment, then turned and ran out...
Such an action left Feng Chengyue even more surprised.
But after a pause, when Qiu Mingyan came downstairs and supported her shoulder, he calmly said, "Let her go. She won’t give up unless she’s completely defeated."
Such ruthlessness made Feng Chengyue look at him and say, "You..."
"What?"
"...It’s rare to see you this cold."
In an instant, Qiu Mingyan was momentarily stunned, then let out a low laugh, "What kind of attitude should I have then?"
"I don’t know, but my Doctor Qiu has always been a warm-hearted and good-tempered doctor, even when facing his girlfriend’s teasing and chiding without retorting." Feng Chengyue laughed.
"That’s only towards you." With a warmer smile, Qiu Mingyan sat down beside her and said, "I could never be with her. It’s been so many years, everything that needed explaining, everything that needed saying, has been done. But her view of things won’t change, and she’s always bringing up fantasies that I can’t comprehend. Last night, she even knelt long and wouldn’t get up, trying to coerce me. So if something could make her give up, I’ll show it to her..."
In an instant, it became clear what Qiu Mingyan meant.
Although he said to let Mai Manxiang try, in reality, he wanted to show her that neither he nor she were people Mai Manxiang could touch or compare to.
He... it wasn’t to give Mai Manxiang a chance here, but to show her in everyday life, how impossible it was, by constantly displaying affection.
Looking into Qiu Mingyan’s occasionally cunning eyes, Feng Chengyue shook her head, "Tsk tsk, who would’ve known you’re this kind of Doctor Qiu."
In an instant, Qiu Mingyan laughed and didn’t entirely deny it, just looked at her with a bit of apology and tenderness, saying, "But, Yu Yu, sorry, I didn’t expect you to be so sensitive about this and ask so quickly."
Qiu Mingyan wanted to handle it quietly without involving Feng Chengyue, so he didn’t even tell her.
But unsurprisingly, in less than a day, the clever Feng Chengyue already asked about it, and afterward, she insisted on resolving the matter herself, leaving him feeling a flurry of unease as he listened upstairs.
Would Yu Yu be bullied by Mai Manxiang? Would she be unable to argue against Mai Manxiang? Would Mai Manxiang be provoked and do something he’d regret?
Qiu Mingyan considered all these possibilities, and he was more anxious than anyone else standing on the stairs.
Until this moment, seeing Mai Manxiang run out, he felt nothing but relief and relaxation, without a hint of worry...
Qiu Mingyan, with a guilty expression, naturally, Feng Chengyue understood what was going on in his heart. Especially after living together for more than two years, Qiu Mingyan privately resolved too many issues, always reluctant to burden her with difficulties. How could she not understand him?
Leaning her head on his shoulder, she smiled and said, "So don’t think that way, Ming Yan. I’m very glad that these days you’re willing to tell me about what you’re facing and to face them together with me. You know, when you handled my father’s appearance alone that time, I was nearly scared to death. I’m somewhat afraid of your problem-solving abilities, so this is best. I’m never afraid of facing difficulties with you; I’m only afraid of misunderstandings between us. You clearly love me very much, yet are unable to explain it clearly, and dare not come close..."
In an instant, looking at Feng Chengyue, who was this perceptive about emotions, Qiu Mingyan’s deep eyes were full of emotion.
That inner feeling was both moving and something akin to a thrill, which he couldn’t quite distinguish.
He only knew, after a moment’s pause, he looked around, then suddenly lifted her from her seat in a horizontal hold.
The straightforward movement upstairs made Feng Chengyue let out a small gasp, quickly wrapping her arms around his neck to maintain balance, saying, "What are you doing?"
Qiu Mingyan didn’t stop walking, saying:
With blushing cheeks and a pounding heart, she lowered her head almost into his chest, softly asking, "You just know it’s going to be a daughter..."
"I’m certain because I already have a name in mind."
"A name? What’s... what’s the name?" Feng Chengyue was even more surprised.
"Ai Yue." Qiu Mingyan deeply smiled at Feng Chengyue’s slightly stunned expression and said, "Qiu Aiyue... regardless of gender."

Little extra story ⑧:
When Qiu Aiyue was in school, every time he filled in his name, he was filled with deep frustration.
His dad, believing at the time that he was having a daughter, insisted on this name.
Although his father’s subsequent explanation was, "Don’t you love your mom? If you love your mom, what’s the problem being called Ai Yue?"
That’s how it was explained, and he accepted his father’s reasoning wholeheartedly.
But throughout his school years...
"Ai Yue, come pick up your paper."
"Ai Yue, the homeroom teacher is calling you."
"Ai Yue, I like you..." The person speaking was shy and hesitant; during the youthful school years, it was normal to like someone.
But Qiu Aiyue was annoyed, raising his fists, he beat up the other party, so much so that the campus bully Liang Cichu came over and exclaimed, "Wow, Brother Qiu, you’re tougher in a fight than me, or even my dad!"
How could he not be tough? Because of his name and his appearance resembling his mother’s excessively exquisite beauty, he had been mistaken for a girl for the nth time!
Qiu Aiyue was fuming, and to top it off, a classmate ran over to report: "Ai Yue, go check the leaderboard of outstanding achievements. The new director, not knowing, marked you as female again."
Qiu Aiyue was suddenly left speechless with a heavy heart, "..."
——————————————————————
Upon waking, she couldn’t help but smile, realizing that it had already been over a week since her period, and soon enough they were entering a risky period. Doing this, she’d probably get pregnant soon, right?
Getting out of bed, Qiu Mingyan was still asleep, so Feng Chengyue kissed his forehead, dressed, and got up.
Originally intending to make Qiu Mingyan breakfast, as she went downstairs, she found herself making eye contact with the door being pushed open.
Mai Manxiang... had returned.
