Chapter 1000: Chapter 59: Brilliant as the Stars, Only Deep Feelings Must Not Be Betrayed

She pursed her lips and said, "I heard about your childbirth, but I’ve been quite busy lately running around for charity work and haven’t had the chance to visit you. I finally found some time today to come and give you a red envelope. Is the baby healthy?"

In the end, she still didn’t voice her innermost thoughts.

With a faint smile, she handed over a thick red envelope.

Qiu Zhixuan found the gesture somewhat amusing, giving money...

However, considering that her relationship with Chen Yiyue wasn’t close enough to warrant giving other kinds of gifts, she politely accepted it.

"Pretty good. I invited you to the baby’s full month celebration, but you said you were busy and didn’t have time. I didn’t expect you’d make the trip personally."

"No need to be so formal. I’m familiar with your father and have met you a few times. It’s the right thing to do." With a gentler subtle smile, Chen Yiyue started chatting with Qiu Zhixuan.

Most of the conversation centered around Qiu Zhixuan’s child, and soon they shifted to discussing Qiu Zhixuan’s parents.

The whole process was quite pleasant.

Finally, Chen Yiyue fell silent for a few seconds before speaking, "I’ve heard that Young Master Feng’s son got into a car accident and is hospitalized. How is he doing?"

Chen Yiyue asked this in a "casual" and "unintentional" manner.

Yet it didn’t stop Qiu Zhixuan’s heart from being touched for a moment.

Her sixth sense was already sensitive.

Through Chen Yiyue’s slightly averted face, she could fully sense—this was the true purpose of Chen Yiyue’s visit today!

But... why did Chen Yiyue need to go through such efforts to do this?

Qiu Zhixuan was puzzled, but she respected Chen Yiyue’s basic willingness to keep things unspoken.

Similarly keeping things unspoken, she said, "We managed to save his life, and he just woke up today. His current condition is relatively good, but one leg is severely injured, three ribs are fractured, and he has a bloody gash on his head, temporarily with amnesia..."

"So severe!" Chen Yiyue was slightly shocked.

Her nervousness made Qiu Zhixuan take a deeper look.

She nodded, "Yes, it’s very serious. Moreover, he’s currently experiencing amnesia. The cause of the car race incident is unknown, and when he’ll recover his memory is also uncertain. Brother Feng has been thoroughly devastated by this..."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yiyue’s gaze slightly trembled, and her white jade fingertips curled slightly.

It took her a while before she spoke, "Oh, well... It certainly is quite a blow. You should put in some effort to take good care of him."

To whom "him" referred—Feng Yuxi or Brother Feng—was ambiguous.

Intuition kept telling Qiu Zhixuan that Chen Yiyue was more concerned about Brother Feng.

But whether reality was as she envisioned or not, it seemed not so.

As if deciding something difficult, Chen Yiyue struggled for a while before turning to her car and retrieving a large bouquet of fresh flowers.

"I know giving flowers in this situation isn’t ideal, but there’s nothing else appropriate to give. So consider it as my heartfelt gesture, hoping Yu Xi recovers soon."

Chen Yiyue’s eyes were so clear, as pure and elegant as the blooming jasmine in Suzhou, calmly and gently unfurling, making one unable to describe her sincerity with any other word.

Precisely because of this, Qiu Zhixuan’s heart was more stirred.

Was she indeed here with preparation to see Yu Xi?

Moreover... if her intuition wasn’t wrong, the person Chen Yiyue once mentioned must be Brother Feng. Even when such an incident befell the child of a rival, could Chen Yiyue...

Words failed to capture witnessing a woman in absolute goodness in such a state.

Qiu Zhixuan finally understood a bit why seeing her was more acceptable than seeing the sister-in-law—because in certain attitudes, she and Chen Yiyue are alike...

Taking the bouquet, Qiu Zhixuan bowed slightly, "Alright, I’ll make sure it reaches him."

Chen Yiyue smiled, awkwardly turned, and left.

Her steps were hurried, and upon returning to her car, her fingertips trembling as she held the steering wheel.

She dared not see Zhixuan more worried that Feng Chengxuan might notice. But she hadn’t anticipated Yu Xi ending up in such a state!

Hate Feng Chengxuan? Absolutely!

But women are such contradictory creatures—hated for so many years, yet hearing of his life’s heavy blow still inexplicably wanting to see him...

Chen Yiyue hated her own softness but had no other recourse, only able to start the car and rapidly pull away.

Amidst internal trembling, she hoped to comfort herself—Zhixuan isn’t one to talk much; her presence this time shouldn’t be exposed...

...

When Qiu Zhixuan returned outside the hospital room, she happened to encounter Brother Feng who had stayed too long and was preparing to wash his face.

Recently, Brother Feng almost never left Yu Xi’s side.

Watching as Brother Feng wore a haggard expression with traces of sadness and his red-rimmed eyes showed clearly what he had gone through.

Qiu Zhixuan’s heart was touched.

Perhaps as Cheng Jin knew from speaking to her, Brother Feng as a husband—whether or not he had a good relationship with his wife, as a father—Brother Feng absolutely qualifies.

Her fluttering lashes quivered slightly, as Qiu Zhixuan consoled him, "Brother, look on the bright side. Yu Xi is protected by fate, and will surely regain his memory and recover. Moreover, today’s medicine is so advanced; many things can turn around..."

Feng Chengxuan understood and showing warmth in response to his sister-in-law’s genuine smile, nodded, "I understand. I’ll get through this, and I believe Yu Xi will too. Don’t worry about me. But you, with Yu Ze still so young, it’s not good to stay in the hospital all day. Try to go back and rest when you can. I’ll take care of things here, and it’s getting late, so you should head back."

Brother Feng’s grace and warmth moved her, not least in this situation when his priority was thinking of others...

Nodding, Qiu Zhixuan said with a smile, "Alright, Cheng Jin called just now too. Once he arrives, I’ll leave after placing this bouquet, and then you don’t need to worry about us. There are nurses overnight, and you should rest early."

Yu Xi was out of danger, and Cheng Jin had to start focusing on some work these days, often absent during the day.

Feng Chengxuan nodded, allowing Qiu Zhixuan to place the bouquet in the adjacent room.

But just as they passed each other, seeing the bouquet he hadn’t noticed before, Feng Chengxuan felt his blood momentarily freeze.

The arrangement of white calla lilies with baby’s breath and purple carnations was favored by a certain woman.

Over the years, he had seen many people arrange them like this, but somehow the feeling was different—all those almost familiar feelings, that "bang!" of a piercing heartbeat...

He grasped Qiu Zhixuan’s arm. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Trembling in his voice, he asked, "The bouquet... who sent it?"
