Sweet Wife Arrives: Mr. CEO, Please Pamper Me-Chapter 885 - 713: Love Is a Thousand Mountains and Rivers, Love Is a Lifelong Obsession
Suddenly, with Mai Manshan’s hurried return, the entire Mai Family seemed to be injected with adrenaline or struck by a thunderbolt.
Mai Manshan rushed in, gasping for breath. Seeing the chaotic atmosphere, he paused, swallowed, and said, "No, something’s wrong. The Feng Family people who came this time, something’s really off, Uncle, Dad, Aunt, Second Aunt, Mom, the Feng Family people who came... seem to have no intention of acknowledging Brother Mingyan; they really dislike him..."
The whole family collectively shuddered.
Mai Manxiang’s eyes, dull like death, suddenly lit up with a glimmer of hope.
Not acknowledge? Dislike? Does this mean that Brother Mingyan... seems to have sensed some opportunity.
Looking towards the main hall, that hidden tremor...
Mai Shilong also realized something, staring at his daughter, his lips quivering slightly.
Mai Manxiang fixed her gaze on her father, as if pleading, yet resolute.
Mai Shilong was ashamed, ultimately not uttering another word, lowering his head...
...
In the morning, Qiu Mingyan woke up to the chirping of mountain sparrows.
His eyelids were twitching, making him feel uneasy.
Why is this? Is Li Zhi causing trouble, or is it the Mai Family causing trouble again?
A night of melancholy left him restless about the Chen Family Village he couldn’t leave and the Feng Family he couldn’t explain to.
If he continued to stay, Madam Li would surely find out everything. Yesterday, he had seen the deputy steward of the Feng Family leading people around the village, questioning them. Regarding Mai Manxiang’s attempted suicide, the Qiu Family has kept tight-lipped, and the villagers, still fearing Feng Chengjin’s residual influence, don’t dare to speak out for fear of implicating Mai Manxiang. But if he continues to stay, Li Zhi finding out is just a matter of time, and the Feng Family, especially Feng Jingguo, finding out about his tangled and chaotic relationship...
Qiu Mingyan dared not imagine this outcome, raising his hand to rub his handsome nose bridge in distress.
But what if he doesn’t continue to stay? Mai Manxiang’s mood has been deteriorating. Yesterday, after seemingly hearing rumors that he might leave, Mai Manxiang actually went on a hunger strike!
To be honest, as a doctor, he cannot bear to see someone die right under his nose. Sometimes, for those on the brink of life and death, onlookers might reduce their sense of moral obligation, thinking, "If I couldn’t save them, and they are determined to die, what can I do?"
But for doctors, how could that be possible?
From the first day of medical school, the phrase "Healer’s Benevolence" written in bold on the blackboard was not mere instruction. If you really face a dying patient and dare to give up, it fundamentally stains your medical beliefs.
Thus—
Mai Manxiang had already attempted suicide once because of her feelings for him, which was more than he could bear in terms of moral responsibility. If Mai Manxiang were to really starve herself to death after he leaves... the future news of the Mai Family’s filial children having to bury their parents...
Qiu Mingyan felt himself cornered at the edge of a cliff, with no road forward or back, where one misstep would plunge him into unresolvable torment.
Cold sweat drenching him, he opened his eyes to the wooden beams overhead, unsure of what to do.
After two minutes, his gaze darkened, focusing on the peacefully sleeping, kitten-like Feng Chengyue in his arms.
His heart sank softly, as if he’d found solace, releasing all his anxiety and unrest.
His lips brushed against her temple, a meeting that furthered his uncontrollable affection.
His eyes grew solemn, as if he had made an irreversible decision he’d never regret. He gently got up, dressed, and left the bed.
Upon exiting the room, he opened a drawer, glanced at Feng Chengyue, then at his home. He took all his remaining bank cards, savings books, property deeds, and land titles with him.
His knuckles turned white, his resolve unshaken.
However, as he closed the door, he didn’t notice that Feng Chengyue, who rolled lazily over on the bed, continued to sleep soundly, completely unaware of his departure.
This was entirely unexpected! Feng Chengyue was usually a light sleeper.
But recently, they had been so busy. Every day, accusations against Qiu Mingyan flooded from the village, weighing them down, leaving them with no mood to think about anything.
Therefore, they collectively overlooked one thing.
Yu Yu should have started her period last night, but it didn’t come. Yu Yu had clearly begun to feel increasingly sleepy yesterday and today, yet they all overlooked this...
