Seeing that his wife had guessed so cleverly, Feng Chengjin laughed and said, "Why do you think that?"

Qiu Zhixuan wrapped her arms around Feng Chengjin’s shoulders, leaning softer on him, "Cheng Jin, don’t hide it from me. I’ve noticed that while the Feng Family is deeply rooted and respected throughout the Yun Gui Circle, not many are truly happy. I also heard about what happened with my second sister that day, which was quite bizarre. So I boldly speculate that the higher up in your family, the less smooth the relationships become. But Yu Ning and Yu Xi are both more lively in personality, not like elder brother or sister-in-law at all. Though Yu Xi clearly lacks love, so I feel..."

Feng Chengjin sealed Qiu Zhixuan’s lips with a soft kiss.

That touch that tickles the heart, always feeling like a first love... Qiu Zhixuan looked at him with a flutter in her heart.

He smiled and said, "I indeed raised them both, because elder brother and sister-in-law’s relationship isn’t too good..."

Hearing the answer she had anticipated, Qiu Zhixuan’s heart trembled slightly, "They..."

Feng Chengjin sighed and began to elaborate—

"Elder brother’s relationship was a total tragedy; to some extent, it was a completely arranged marriage. Elder brother never loved sister-in-law, not from beginning to end. He had his own beloved, but in that era, not as carefree as we live now. Even though society in the 80s began encouraging free love, for those of us with somewhat established families, most still adhered to old customs, dictated by parental decisions and matchmaker’s words. Losing chastity meant a societal obligation..."

"Elder brother met sister-in-law in a family-arranged blind dating event. At that time, elder brother privately had a girlfriend surnamed Su, a daughter from a humble family, with pure feelings. Despite the unknown blind date gathering, elder brother was naturally unwilling, yet this didn’t stop sister-in-law from falling for him instantly. Elder brother attempted rejection, but it was to no avail. At that time, parent’s orders were like heaven. Elder brother wanted to rebel, but the burden was not about simple pursuit of true love like in our era; it was rebellion. Family penalties aside, societal disapproval and the derogatory notoriety faced by a girl running away with a guy’s family was what terrified everyone most."

Qiu Zhixuan’s heart trembled as she remembered the era her parents spoke of, barely understanding.

Feng Chengjin sighed more helplessly, "So the misunderstanding just formed like that. Elder brother wanted to protect Miss Su from the Su Family, but she repeatedly saw elder brother and sister-in-law ’dating,’ and eventually an incident occurred that forced elder brother to take responsibility for sister-in-law. Hence, the marriage thrived in chaos... At the same time, the deepest love elder brother held was severed... Miss Su vanished without a trace, and elder brother’s relationship with sister-in-law worsened."

Miss Su?

Thinking of Chen Yiyue she had met, Qiu Zhixuan felt something was off.

But unable to link people, she didn’t pay too much attention, perhaps many had a secret crush on elder brother?

With autumnal eyes as ink, she continued to ask, "So... you raised Yu Ning and Yu Xi?" 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

Feng Chengjin nodded, looking at his beautiful wife, he gently smiled, "Otherwise, what should we do? Elder brother marrying sister-in-law was a move forced by circumstances, often unwilling to return home, yet children in their growing years needed a father figure present. And elder brother disliked some traits in sister-in-law, fearing they’d lead the children astray, asked me to help care for them when free. Yu Xi... being a son, was somewhat closer to his mother still. I taught him a lot, yet his inclination remained closer to his mother. For Yu Ning... maybe it’s the attraction of opposites, that little girl stuck with me from early on, so naturally, her character molded with mine, though sometimes sister-in-law could do nothing about it."

At this point, Qiu Zhixuan understood everything completely.

Why Yu Ning and Yu Xi were particularly fond of and worshipped Feng Chengjin.

Why under similarly lively and cheerful personalities, Yu Xi was more sensitive and strained than Yu Ning.

Including why she frequently saw Feng Chengjin’s luxury car picking Yu Ning up from school during her middle school years, now all understood...

Nibbling her pink lips, Qiu Zhixuan’s lashes trembled, and remained silent.

Feng Chengjin glanced at her and suddenly laughed, "So, you weren’t thinking of breaking up elder brother and sister-in-law, were you? Zhixuan, though having sister-in-law in the family did bring many new disputes, elder brother and sister-in-law’s children are now grown, separating them at this stage isn’t ethical. Most importantly, think of Yu Xi..."

Mentioning this child seemed to touch the deepest pain point for Qiu Zhixuan and Feng Chengjin deep within.

Feng Chengjin holds an intricate chaos within his heart.

Qiu Zhixuan thought of Feng Yuxi, at that moment heavily injured and uncertain of recovery... saddened beyond words.

Yet, regarding her husband’s speculation, she lightly sneered, saying, "Hardly would I want to break up elder brother and sister-in-law? Unless both parties are willing, breaking a marriage is unethical, even under the guise of love. I understand. I only think that no matter what, the Feng Family can’t keep going on like this."

Considering the frequent occurrences in the Feng Family these years, indeed every incident involved sister-in-law, Yu Xi having other reasons apart from personality formation was certainly related.

The car accident stabs at the heart like blood in thought, Feng Chengjin’s Mo Tong dimmed, his fingers slightly curled, not opposed to it.

Kissing Qiu Zhixuan’s forehead, Feng Chengjin said, "Give me some time, I’ll come up with a solution."

Qiu Zhixuan was moved within, leaning on Feng Chengjin’s shoulder, she could feel his full protection over her.

However, the reaction of sister-in-law last night’s collision... Qiu Zhixuan felt deeper, believing it wouldn’t simply be defensible; some matters seemed about to begin...

Considering Yu Xi’s current condition was more significant, she remained silent.

But ultimately, due to understanding these matters, her perception of sister-in-law grew unusually vigilant...

That "Miss Su," in Feng Chengjin’s presence, was said openly, yet she too reserved some heed behind the scenes.
