Sweet Wife Arrives: Mr. CEO, Please Pamper Me-Chapter 873 - V707: Love Transcends All Obstacles, Love Is a Lifelong Devotion

Once the stitching was finished and the gauze was wrapped back in place, Qiu Mingyan asked Qiu Mingjun to fetch saline and anti-inflammatory penicillin from the clinic.

After hanging the IV, Qiu Mingyan dragged his exhausted body to the well at the Mai Family’s home to wash off the bloodstains on him.

It was incredibly cold in the early autumn night.

That night, as a gust of wind blew past, brushing against the hem of Qiu Mingyan’s clothing, the chill could not surpass the sense of coldness he felt at this moment.

How could this be! Why is it like this!

Wasn’t everything okay, and now she’s leaving? Hadn’t she already let it go?

Over a decade of entanglement, a clear rejection five years ago, and genuine actions from a few days ago — he felt he had done all he could, said all he could. Not liking someone is just that, if he were truly a villager, he might get married and have children in a daze, and that would be it.

But anyone who has been educated, who knows the outside world and understands the purpose of marriage, realizes that the whole world champions free love. He already knows what responsibilities a man, especially towards his wife and children, must bear in this life.

How could he possibly agree to enter a haphazard marriage with eyes wide open!

So... do they have to force him if he can’t do it?

He could repay any kindness, except by marriage, isn’t that okay!!!

Moreover, he was clearly about to leave after one more night. The difficult journey he and Yu Yu traveled together was possible only because Yu Yu had endured the hardship of abandoning her parents. How could he possibly betray Yu Yu?

Clearly, only one night away, but right now at his home...

Qiu Mingyan had never felt such anxiety and despair before; unfinished matters and the inescapable Chen Family Village felt like a noose tightening around his heart and life.

Without waiting to wash the blood off his hands completely, he irritably took a cigarette pack out of his pocket, lit a cigarette, and placed it at his mouth.

Yet, the swirling smoke offered no relief to the turmoil inside him, prompting him to pace back and forth in the courtyard.

All at once, in the vast courtyard, only his solitary shadow continued to move, lengthening and wandering.

When Feng Chengyue saw this scene, a faint pain surged in her heart.

The sudden accident with Mai Manxiang dealt a significant blow to them, needless to say.

But she was more pained by seeing Qiu Mingyan’s trapped state at that moment; he always loved things tidy, yet he didn’t even finish washing his hands before he started pacing and smoking. He...

Not knowing what to say, Feng Chengyue walked over, stood close to him, and asked, "With such a disinfection and surgical environment, won’t there be an infection?"

Qiu Mingyan was slightly stunned and nodded, "We’ll give a few more tetanus shots afterward. Given the urgent situation, she lost too much blood, and the county hospital is more than two hours away by mountain road; she wouldn’t last."

Feng Chengyue nodded and said "Oh," not knowing what else to add.

Such silence made Qiu Mingyan’s heart ache even more when he glanced at Feng Chengyue.

After a moment, he no longer cared whether this was the Mai Family’s courtyard or whether his behavior might be seen as arrogant.

He pulled her body close and tightly embraced her in his arms.

"Yu Yu, I can’t... please don’t..."

The choking tone made Feng Chengyue understand his vulnerability at that moment.

With a heartache that left her speechless, tears glistened in Feng Chengyue’s eyes as she embraced his waist, "I understand, it’s okay, don’t worry, I will always trust you."

Hearing these words, Qiu Mingyan’s tensely wound emotions finally seemed to find a moment of relief.

Lowering his shoulders, beneath the moonlight, he held her and murmured into her ear, "Thank you, Yu Yu, I will never betray you, never. Believe me..."

"Mm, I believe you."

...

Mai Manxiang woke up a day later.

The anesthesia wore off, and the pain awakened her, causing a heavy-headed dizziness as she slowly opened her eyes.

Upon waking, seeing Qiu Mingyan sitting by the bed, seemingly checking her wound, her eyes lit up with joy.

However, such joy also felt somewhat unreal.

Her eyelashes trembled slightly as she uncertainly asked, "Brother Mingyan?"

Hearing the voice, Qiu Mingyan looked up, and honestly, at that moment, Qiu Mingyan really wanted to coldly say, "You’re awake? Now that you’re awake, I will leave!"
