Chapter 934: Chapter 753: Starlight Ablaze, Only Deep Feelings Must Not Be Betrayed (6)

The call couldn’t get through, and when I called again, it was turned off.

Feng Yuning was stunned for a moment, then remembered that she had deliberately turned off her phone to avoid her family searching for her—

Her face turned a little pale, and she said, "I went out to play."

"Where did you go?" Li Zhi asked aggressively.

Feng Yuning felt a panic rising inside, especially since she wasn’t wearing a bra. If her mother found out...

But then, perhaps due to her fearless nature since childhood, she managed to quickly come up with an excuse despite not understanding why her mother had recently become more prying into her privacy. She shook her handbag and said, "I met up with some classmates from middle school. Oh mom, I’m already an adult, you’re not going to control even this, are you?"

With that, Feng Yuning took the chance to sneak into the direction of Qiu Zhixuan’s bedroom.

"I’ll go see my brother and stepmom. Mom, you should go to sleep."

Her voice echoed in the hallway, crisp and clear, yet it pierced Li Zhi’s heart with thorn after thorn.

Just hearing Yang Yang’s words was uncomfortable enough, and now seeing her daughter running towards Qiu Zhixuan’s bedroom!

Earlier, her friends’ warnings echoed once more in her ears.

"Now that Yuning is doing outrageous things like chasing a divorced man, don’t you think this has something to do with your new sister-in-law? You should know President Yu has been pursuing Qiu Zhixuan for over ten years..."

Thus, with a heavy heart and a cold face, Li Zhi looked at the door of Qiu Zhixuan’s bedroom, and an even more irritable emotion surged from deep within her heart.

Qiu Zhixuan!

...

Inside the bedroom.

Qiu Zhixuan was reading a financial magazine. Although she was pregnant and Ye Xilan insisted she should not go to work,

considering she can’t just idle around, she’d still have to help Cheng Jin in the company after giving birth. She hadn’t missed any real-time news and even occasionally took some time to write articles for "Economic Vision."

When Feng Yuning burst in, she startled Qiu Zhixuan.

After all, Feng Yuning hadn’t even knocked.

She sat up slightly from the sofa.

Looking back, Feng Yuning seemed to realize her rashness this time, glanced around the bedroom of the suite, and apologetically smiled, "Has my uncle not returned yet?"

Qiu Zhixuan didn’t know the purpose of Feng Yuning’s sudden visit.

She could only shake her head and say, "It’s the end of the year, there are quite a few gatherings. He just called, and it’ll be another half an hour before he returns. Why, are you looking for him?"

Feng Yuning sighed in relief and quickly shook her head, saying, "I’m not looking for him, I’m looking for you, stepmom. Is the baby okay? I miss him (or her)!"

It seemed to touch upon what Qiu Zhixuan cared most about, after all, a woman who was about to become a mother, and the child is just six months old...

So, Qiu Zhixuan immediately smiled with narrowed eyes and as Feng Yuning sat down beside her.

She stroked her rapidly protruding belly, and said, "Very good, he (or she) was moving earlier, kicking me."

These words seemed to pique Feng Yuning’s interest.

Her eyes sparkled brightly, and Feng Yuning leaned in closer to Qiu Zhixuan, "Really? Let me feel."

Qiu Zhixuan lifted her soft, open-front sweater, presenting her belly for Feng Yuning to gently touch.

For a moment, the entire bedroom was filled with the two’s excitement over the little one, especially since the little one seemed to play along with Feng Yuning’s touch; wherever her hand moved, the little one’s legs would kick.

This made Feng Yuning frequently exclaim, "Indeed, it’s the Feng family’s golden egg, it must be a boy, his temperament is just like my uncle’s!"

Qiu Zhixuan smiled with bent eyes, "Your uncle was born more than a decade before you, how do you know it’s like your uncle?"

"My grandma used to love showing off about my uncle, saying that even when he was in her belly, he was restless, like practicing Tai Chi every day."

Feng Yuning complained, but Qiu Zhixuan’s corners of her lips curved even deeper with happiness, especially when listening to bits and pieces about her love’s childhood, fantasizing about whether their love’s creation would continue some of his genes...

Shaking her head, she said, "Both son or daughter is good."

For this, Feng Yuning had no objection, especially since in the Feng family, girls were even more cherished.

With a hooked lip, she initiated an in-depth conversation with Qiu Zhixuan about the ins and outs of having a baby.

The discussion ranged from Qiu Zhixuan’s morning sickness to her occasional sleepiness, from clothing sizes to the nutrition she should be mindful of at the moment.

Not long after, with a slightly leading tone, Feng Yuning asked about the matters of the heart, "How did you and my uncle fall for each other back then?"

This question seemed to touch upon Qiu Zhixuan’s sweetest memory.

With a blush, recalling bits and pieces from ten years ago, Qiu Zhixuan said, "Actually... it just happened by accident. At that time, I didn’t know he was that person, and he, pretending to be someone else, was quite awkward not knowing how to explain things to me. But during that time, when we were together, I felt so cared for by him like I’d never experienced with any other man, and the reliability and security he offered from handling hospital paperwork to taking care of me day and night made me desire to entrust myself to him, the emotional sinking surprised even myself..."

"I heard it wasn’t smooth sailing in the beginning for you two?"

Qiu Zhixuan paused, pondering over the older memories, nodded, and smiled, "Yeah, your uncle is a very dignified person. Knowing I had a different identity, he would never overstep the boundary. That time made me so anxious and insecure. I clearly felt he seemed to like me, yet he wouldn’t even hold my hand, sometimes I would be so upset I’d want to cry..."

Listening to this, Feng Yuning seemed able to feel the emotions a relationship brings, the insecurity, the highs, and lows.

It even made her constantly speculate about his thoughts and feelings, wasn’t it just like her current situation?

However...

With more suggestive words, Feng Yuning leaned closer and said, "Then how did you two get together?"

"This..." Qiu Zhixuan’s face grew even redder, recalling the scenes in the hospital of nakedness in the dark, the intertwined sweat, and Feng Chengjin’s embrace of her at that time, as pampered as holding the entire world.

She softly said, "Well... he happened to be deceived, and let his guard down, while I took the initiative once, so..."

"You took the initiative?" Hearing this, Feng Yuning nearly incredulously scanned Qiu Zhixuan up and down, exclaiming.

That tone startled Qiu Zhixuan into quickly looking around, ensuring no one was startled before, with a red hot face, she said, "I wasn’t that forward, actually in such things, isn’t it always the man who takes the initiative? Let’s just say I gave him the opportunity at the right time."

Qiu Zhixuan’s face was shy and felt nowhere to hold it.

While Feng Yuning, in her heart abuzz, observed her low-profile stepmom. She always thought it must have been a trap set by her uncle for a gentle woman like this. Yet another voice inside her was affirming, encouraging her.

It seems her plan to seduce Yu Yuanshen is right! The difference with her uncle and stepmom though—she needs to find the opportune moment with the right conditions!

Maybe because Feng Yuning’s expression changed too quickly, making Qiu Zhixuan feel some surprise and unease, she stared with wide eyes, "You... what do you want to do?"

Feng Yuning looked Qiu Zhixuan up and down, for a long time, and squeezed out a sentence through her teeth, "Stepmom, do you mind if I just ask my uncle about this same matter?"

Feng Chengjin: Come on, bring it! I’m just troubled with no place to use all my girl-chasing techniques and ideas on how to deal with Yu Yuanshen! Niece, what style would you like to hear? What mindset a man has when teased and seduced by a woman, Uncle will tell you all about it! Hahaha!

Hua Xi looked up at the sky and gave Feng Chengjin a huge punch on the head, leaving a big bump.

Feng Chengjin: =.= Mom, why did you hit me?

Hua Xi: Please maintain your male lead’s elegance, dignity, and gentlemanly demeanor at all times, thank you!

Feng Chengjin: ...
