Chapter 953: Chapter 772: Among the Shining Sparks, Only Deep Affection Must Not Be Betrayed [24]

In a flash, She understood that Yu Yuanshen was referring to getting rid of it, and Feng Yuning’s pretty little face turned darker than the bottom of a pot!

But Feng Yuning also clings to people without any principles. Frowning her Dai Mei, she tightly held his arm and said, "Who reminded you? I didn’t remind you. Anyway, Yu Yuanshen, I want to make it clear to you, I absolutely won’t get rid of the child. If you don’t let me give birth, I’ll move to your house. Anyway, your father and mother will definitely want me to have the baby, and Youxuan will definitely want me to have it too."

Seeing him bring up his god-level supportive parents and daughter again, Yu Yuanshen’s face darkened, and he couldn’t help but surrender with a wry smile, "Alright, alright, you’d better not mention them."

Realizing Yu Yuanshen had surrendered, Feng Yuning let out a giggle.

After a pause, she thought for a while, then said, "But, do you really not want it?"

At this moment, Yu Yuanshen had already leaned back and sat up, picked up a cigarette box, took out one, lit it, and took a drag, saying, "Do you really want to be with me? My heart is like a thick city wall that can’t be opened, with a white rose growing inside, and I can’t get out of it..."

If it weren’t for the excessive forlornness in Yu Yuanshen’s eyes, at this moment, Feng Yuning might have thought she didn’t understand him.

But she was very emotionally intelligent. Staring with her big eyes for a moment, she said, "You’re saying, you actually want to come out?"

Yu Yuanshen’s body stiffened for a bit.

Finally, he smiled more bitterly and nodded.

For a moment, Feng Yuning didn’t understand what Yu Yuanshen had gone through, what he had given for this affection, or what he had persisted in, but after countless wanderings and hesitations, she clearly saw his desire to leave that place in pain.

He was different from He Qimo. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

He Qimo couldn’t let go of his stepmother because of obsession, resentment, and complex feelings of love and hatred that prevented him from seeing through his obstinate thoughts back then. After all, He Qimo had been in love with his stepmother and could understand clearly.

But what about Yu Yuanshen? With emotional intelligence and IQ that didn’t lose to his uncle and a mature and steady age, yet he had no status?

He wasn’t stupid; he understood everything.

He liked his stepmother, and it lasted over a decade. Those feelings that spanned from youth to young adulthood to middle age had long been deeply buried in his bones, drilled into his marrow.

Some feelings, it seemed he could never forget in this lifetime.

But—

Sadly, his stepmother did not like him.

She didn’t like him during their youth, nor during the fluttering of her young heart. Despite him appearing in her life countless times, being so good to her, even holding her hand, hugging her, she never felt moved.

In the end, when they divorced, he thought they were adults now, perhaps they could try? The result was that she agreed again just because of "family bonds," without a hint of romance...

Ordinarily, people understood that if one liked someone, they would have liked them at first sight. How could it take so many years?

He understood, so he had no hope. He could only choose to let Qiu Zhixuan have what she wanted, yield to He Qimo, yield to Feng Chengjin.

All along this road, how difficult it was for him to yield only he knew.

But in the end, when everything settled and others had found happiness and their lovers, he stood confused at the crossroads, not knowing what to do...

With his heart given away, how could he take it back?

With thorns embedded, how could he pull them out?

Nearly twenty years had passed.

He was no zealot; even under high emotional and intellectual quotients, once seeing Qiu Zhixuan’s steadfast love for Feng Chengjin, he saw the light.

On Saipan Island, he wandered by the sea; in Australia, he gazed at the floating clouds, filled with melancholy. He actually wanted to try to embrace a new life.

But sadly, love had become a habit. He didn’t want to be self-imprisoned, yet he had already cocooned himself, not knowing how to extricate himself...

So, at this moment...

Yu Yuanshen said not a word.

But Feng Yuning looked at him, his eyes rippling like tides, and savored the bitterness and deep emotions he wanted to express but could not speak.

After a pause, she slowly said, "It’s quite tough, isn’t it?"

Yu Yuanshen didn’t deny it. He simply held a smile, gazing at the one girl over the past two or three years who didn’t doubt why he hadn’t given up, and nodded again.

"It’s quite tough, especially knowing there’s no possibility of an outcome. Even when I want to give up, I can’t control it with reason. For instance, I don’t want to think about it, but when I close my eyes, open them, all I see is her shadow. I know it’s wrong, yet I can’t change it. So, your presence, I don’t resist. For this child, I’m willing to accept. But I must ask you one thing if I can’t get out of it myself, are you sure you want to be with me?"

Instantly, understanding Yu Yuanshen’s meaning, he was again confirming with her, aside from life, that emotionally he might be an irreparable flaw, asking if she still wanted it?

Honestly, for someone else, she wouldn’t!

But her eyes flickered...

Who was Yu Yuanshen! The first time she heard of him was about his remarkable feat of loving his stepmother for many years. She admired his sense of responsibility to her very bones, and she adored the security he provided.

Not to mention, his image, his character, his temperament, his personality—which of these was not synonymous with the best husband!

At this moment, he was even using his most treasured sense of responsibility to ask her to consider carefully?

When you love someone deeply, you naturally won’t refuse.

Smiling slightly, she nodded without hesitation and said, "I do!"

Instantly, the curve of Yu Yuanshen’s lips widened. Even though it was slight, one could feel how relieved he was at that moment.

Nodding, as he flicked the cigarette butt to extinction with his fingertips, he replied.

"Alright, anyway, I’m this age now; I can’t afford to be reckless, and I won’t coax you. I’ll just tell you directly. If you’re able to chip away a part of this wall, I’m willing to try any possibility with you. If you can pull me out..."

Yu Yuanshen paused, and sincerely said, "...I truly thank you and will take care of you for a lifetime."

In an instant, Feng Yuning felt a warm rush in her heart.

Even though Yu Yuanshen never promised her anything about feelings, she felt happier and more assured than hearing any sweet declarations or oaths.

But perhaps, it was her overly sweet smile after hearing this sentence that made Yu Yuanshen seem to slightly regret after speaking.

With a helpless smile, he gave her a sideways glance, got up, and put down the ashtray.

Watching Yu Yuanshen, who was putting on clothes, Feng Yuning thought he was incredibly handsome. His perfectly toned abs and beautiful V-lines, along with those long legs, made him look good in anything!

After a pause, as she realized she had been looking at him with a slight crush, Yu Yuanshen frowned slightly as he buttoned up his shirt.

"Why aren’t you getting up yet?"

"Get up for what? It was hard enough to sneak out last night. My mom’s been watching me more and more closely. I don’t want to get up and go back now."

Finally, never expecting she was already in such a situation, Yu Yuanshen gave a helpless smile and said, "But you still have to get up."

"Why?"

"Because..." Holding back a very aggrieved expression, Yu Yuanshen looked at the two pregnancy tests on the bedside table and couldn’t bear to look directly, "We have to go to your house before lunch."
