Sweet Wife Arrives: Mr. CEO, Please Pamper Me-Chapter 888 - 714: Love Is Thousands of Mountains and Rivers, Love Is a Lifetime Obsession [60]
In an instant, Qiu Mingyan’s eyes were filled with shock and inner pain, "Uncle Mai! What are you doing?"
Mai Shilong had nothing left to say, he could only speak softly: "Mingyan, I beg you, please agree. Uncle Mai has only one daughter... Uncle Mai was poor back then, and the family did all they could to help the Qiu Family. Even after Manxiang was born, a few more children were conceived, but due to the family burden, your Aunt Lin had to... That’s why she’s been upset with me all these years. Mingyan, I have no way out with my daughter. If Uncle Mai had a choice, I wouldn’t force you, but... Uncle Mai can’t bear the thought of having no descendants in old age..."
Mai Shilong knelt in despair.
On the other side, Lin Cuixia couldn’t bear it seeing this, exclaimed in hopeless sympathy: "Oh my God, what kind of sin has our family committed? Helping others, helping benefactors, are we to be buried with them as a whole family? Let’s all die, kneel and die, if you all insist on this, I’ll die with you. We’ll all die, kneeling collectively in the underworld for Qiu Mingyan, just wishing him a smooth life in the big city, not to think of us who he hates!"
Lin Cuixia cried heartbreakingly, half-fainting and being helped by a group of villagers, crying and sitting in a chair.
In the moment those buried kindnesses were mentioned again, looking at Mai Shilong’s actions, Qiu Mingyan felt completely driven to the edge of a cliff, his heart as cold as being sliced cruelly by the winter wind.
He knew that as a man, he should solve these troubles, protect his wife and children. He knew as an individual, he should be grateful and courteous, worthy of emotions and grace.
But... this is his life.
A wild phoenix that struggled to climb out of the mountain valley, he didn’t expect his life to be exceptionally glorious, but unexpectedly encountered the most beautiful scenery of his life, he longed to spend time in that scenery, yet the burdens of everyone pulled him back into the morass again and again, unable to breathe.
Is it fate?
Why do the two most extreme things in life happen to him simultaneously, it is beyond what ordinary people can bear, a storyline not found in any books, yet it tore him apart, flesh and bones separated...
Qiu Mingyan’s pain was despairing, meanwhile, Feng Chengyue watched him until this moment, still stubbornly struggling without giving in, knowing what he was holding onto, bearing the village’s criticism and conscience’s reproach...
But her heart...
Was hurt beyond words, pausing for a moment, Feng Chengyue glanced at the environment Qiu Mingyan grew up in, looked at the woman who had lost the courage to live without Qiu Mingyan.
Finally, took a deep look at Qiu Mingyan — the one who made her heart race upon first meeting.
The man who would hold her tenderly at night, saying, "Yu Yu, I like you, so very much."
A deep, another deep look...
She turned her head, holding back tears, and turned to leave...
... 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦
Qiu Mingyan realized Feng Chengyue had left about a minute later, in helplessness, wanting to turn to look at Yu Yu, hoping she could give him a moment alone, he would surely not let her down.
Instead, he saw Feng Chengyue already turned and had followed Li Zhi and some other assistants down the slope, heading to the Qiu Family.
Seemed to realize something.
Qiu Mingyan’s face instantly went pale with fear, at that moment, he couldn’t even handle the aftermath of the Mai family’s kneeling and suicidal scene, only his inner most genuine desire at that second, made him break through the crowd like mad, running toward the slope.
Unfortunately, regardless of Feng Chengyue’s fast pace downhill, with the villagers’ layers of obstacles and the bodyguards Feng Family brought blatantly hindering and pushing him back, he simply couldn’t catch up to Feng Chengyue.
Li Zhi, seeing everything unfold, infuriated, walking into the Qiu household, shouted rudely at Gui Lanzhi: "In this broken village, you still treat a poor boy as a golden phoenix, look at what kind of mess is this, rotten matters and entanglements! Want to keep him as your son-in-law? Go ahead, go ahead! As if we’d admire you! We’d refuse this kind of marriage even if offered!" She entered the house, grabbed her bag, phone, iPad and other belongings and left.
Feng Chengyue entered the house, also packing her things.
Yet she didn’t have much to pack, just took out a pen and paper, hesitated for a moment, left a note for Qiu Mingyan, then turned to leave.
The departing vehicles drove quickly as Feng Chengyue and Li Zhi boarded the car, the convoy started and left.
Even as Qiu Mingyan had desperately sprinted forward, facing several bodyguards blocking him, he shouted anxiously: "Yu Yu, don’t go, listen to me!"
"Yu Yu! Believe me, I won’t, never ever!"
"Yu Yu! Could you give me a bit more confidence? You had the courage to run from home, give me just a bit more, please?"
All entirely in vain.
Feng Chengyue sat in the car, letting it drive away from the village.
The leading car moved further and further, even when the bodyguards let go of Qiu Mingyan, he ran after the car but couldn’t catch up.
Such a disheveled, desperate, humbled pursuit of a woman made the entire village on the hillside stand in shock... for that Qiu Mingyan they had never seen before...
Like witnessing the man struggling tirelessly in the big city to climb upward from nothing, the true sense of class disparity was now evident to them, realizing when he’s striving to catch up, it wasn’t as omnipotent as they imagined, even putting in all his effort might still be powerless...
...
The vehicle drove on, Qiu Mingyan’s voice and chasing steps, Feng Chengyue didn’t fail to see or hear.
In the flowing tears...
Actually, she didn’t blame him at all, nor did she feel he hesitated, or lost trust, or was disappointed in him.
In truth, she understood him too well, he liked her so much, willing to do anything for her, defy anyone.
However, facing his own circumstances, the price he must pay had perhaps touched the most basic lines of his humanities, even confronting societal morals, law, and humanity’s essential belief — gratitude and reciprocation.
How could she bear to see him trapped in such struggle?
So even at this moment, hearing Qiu Mingyan shout the loudest: "Yu Yu! Why this way! Why? With you gone, how will I live?"
Her heart was pierced by countless arrows.
Yet she dared not stop or look back.
Only holding her knees tightly, buried in sobs amid a sea of tears.
Mingyan—
How will you live without me? Thank you for letting me hear such an emotional sentence before I leave, oh how I wish one day I could shout like that, but I cannot.
Do they think I’m brave? In truth, I’m very timid.
Body skin hair, received from parents, facing love’s difficulty, I cannot choose life or death, my family’s upbringing only taught me, no matter how hard life is, one must live strong.
So... the love I give you can only be letting go.
I love you, so I can never bear to see you— extremely struggling.
[Author’s Note:]
