Chapter 75
Chapter 75
My eldest uncle came to me before and said that he would support me as long as I wanted to be the heir and take power from you. But I refused because I know you want the Patterson family, so I wanted to give it to you. As long as I have it, I could give it to you.
Saying this, the young man took a deep breath to prevent the trembling in his voice.
Feng Fei Mings pupils shrank. What distressed him most at first was Shen Mingyes eldest uncle, but then somehow, the resistance of that side of the family suddenly weakened.
He initially thought it was his own operation that worked, but now, he was told that it was actually Shen Mingye who appeased his eldest uncle?
No..this cant be. Its all a lie
Feng Fei Ming could not believe the youths words because it would be a skyrocketing shock to himself if he believed it.
Before, you were troubled because of the things in the family, and Mr. Yoder said to just take out the family head token. I was really scared when I heard that because I seemed to have lost it, and I was afraid I would get you into trouble. But fortunately, I finally found it. I was afraid that you would reject it, so I hid it from you and went to earn enough to break the contract and get the family head token myself. I wanted to give it to you as your birthday present in three days
Looking at the young man with pale lips, Feng Fei Ming felt a chill in his palm. Forgot? Did he just forget about that? It was not that the youth did not want to give it to him, and he was not secretly plotting to seize power?
And these past few days, was this the reason for his unusual behavior? Feng Fei Ming only felt his brain buzzing, and his heart swirling with emotions almost made him lose the ability to think.
The truth was suddenly smashed at Feng Fei Ming. It suddenly occurred to him that if the young man was really deceiving him from beginning to end, then why was the emotion in his eyes so sincere while the action of concealing the token from him afterward was flawed?
So thewrong onewas him all along? Was he the one who cut off the budding feelings in his heart?
Theres no other reason for doing this than because I like you, so I want to give you whatever I can
At this point, the youths voice finally trembled: You were so good to me. I always thought you liked me just as much as I do. because of my engagement
Nohe wanted to explain that he was fond of the young man. He watched the youth perform the tea art for him and watched him smile at him with wholehearted trust. He was actually moved!
Although Feng Fei Ming opened his mouth, he could not make any sound. Because how could his hypocritical fondness be worth saying?
I didnt expect that you didnt like me at all. When I was preparing your birthday gift
You were thinking about how tokill me
These words completely uncovered Feng Fei Mings shame so that he himself can clearly see his own selfishness and cruelty. Yesthe young man was right. He was full of joy preparing his birthday present for him while he was on his way setting up his men to kill him!
Thinking of this, Feng Fei Ming suddenly felt that his breathing was even painful. Fortunatelyfortunatelyhe had not yet done it.
It seems that you do not need the gift I prepared. The young man let go of his hand and let the precious box in his hand roll down to the floor.
Feng Fei Ming looked at the family head token he had longed for when it fell to the floor with a clang. The clasp of the box was broken open, and the ring inside fell to the ground.
He should have cared about this token. He should have run up, picked it up immediately, and looked carefully at what was broken on it.
But now, Feng Fei Ming did not want to do any of these things. He could only stare blankly at the shining light in the eyes of the youth, which shattered bang like fragile glass.
The debris seemed to pierce the young mans crystal pupils, and the eyes that have been full of light have since become dark.
The eyes that Feng Fei Ming loved the most and made him feel warm are finally gone.
The young Feng Fei Ming, who had been lacking in love since childhood, personally crushed the precious love he longed for the most.
A great sense of panic rose in Feng Fei Mings heart as he watched the young man turn around. His heart felt as if a piece had been cut out, and the pain caused his whole body to curl up.
Nodont, dont go.
The young mans back was straight, and his pace has not stopped even the slightest bit because of him.
Seeing such a determined look from the youth, Feng Fei Ming felt like he was going crazy. He recalled the few warm feelings between himself and the young man some days ago. They were so close at that time, so why did he suddenly become suspicious?
He had clearly been moved, and it was possible for them to head towards a good outcome
The back of the young man told Feng Fei Ming that he was not weak. He loved passionately and brilliantly, like a moth to a flame, putting all he had into this love and secretly bearing the pressure of the whole family for Feng Fei Ming.
He is very strong, but he always put forward his softest side unreservedly to Feng Fei Ming.
This was Shen Mingyes love.
Feng Fei Ming wanted to chase after him but could not move his feet at all. A voice in his heart said to him: You do not deserve this. The dirty and selfish you do not deserve this kind of love.
Yes, he did not deserve it.
Yoder looked at the obviously despondent youth and got up subconsciously to go after him, but he froze as soon as he was out the door.
A tall man took the young mans waist before him and then simply picked up the disoriented youth in his arms and walked out.
The emerald eyes that made Yoder tremble with fear coldly swept over him. Yoder could clearly see the threat conveyed by those eyes and the undisguised possessiveness for the person in his arms.
FatherFather Yoder stood there mouthing out.
Due to Ahazs intimidation, Yoder finally did not dare to go after him and retreated to the room with his heart in turmoil.
Inside the room, Feng Fei Ming was on his knees picking up the ring with the Patterson family crest on it. He not only picked up the ring but even the box that was broken on the floor was carefully picked up and placed on his suit, not letting go of a single piece.
At this moment, Feng Fei Ming did not look like a businessman who was as cunning as a fox in the market. He changed back to the orphan who was pushed around by his relatives. He held the last gift left to him by the young man in his arms as if he was holding his whole world.
Feng Fei Ming ignored Yoder. All his attention seemed to be on the things wrapped in his suit, and then he slowly walked out of the room.
Seeing that Feng Fei Ming was about to leave, Yoder hesitated but still told what the young man had asked him to keep secret before. He went out the other night because he wanted to sell his script and ended up being tricked into going to Venus by a director with ulterior motives. I met him that night, and he begged me not to tell you.
After hearing Yoders words, Feng Fei Mings whole body shook for a while, as if he could not bear the gift that weighed a thousand pounds in his arms.
In the end, he stood firm and slowly left the place.
In Yoders eyes, Feng Fei Ming indeed deserved the consequences, so he did not have any sympathy. What haunted him now was his fathers relationship with Shen Mingye!
When did they know each other? Why were they so close? Was it the night the young man went to Venus?
Ahaz took the youth back to his bedroom and laid him gently on the bed as if he were holding some fragile object. Brushing aside his soft hair, he asked him softly, Are you okay? Do you want to eat something first?
Qing Yun enjoyed the tender care of the man. His soul suddenly received the energy of the world feedback, so he was still in a bit of a trance, which exactly fits the appearance of lost love.
The pale face of the young man made Ahaz heartbroken. He wanted to take the young man into his arms and soothe him, but he was afraid that his touch would provoke a violent reaction from him.
Perhaps it was the age gap, or maybe some memory in his soul that Ahaz treats the youth not only with the possessiveness belonging to a lover but also with a kind of elder-like care.
So, even if he loves Qing Yun and wants to have him again, he couldnt use any forceful means. Today, the youth was caught off guard and exposed to the bitter truth. Ahaz felt very sorry.
You said before thatI should exchange myself for something, do the words still count now? Qing Yun pretended to be pitiful and tugged the mans sleeve, with eyes that looked so innocent, I have no place to go.
Ahaz was distressed by the youths words and finally couldnt help but tighten his arms around him: Who says you have nowhere to go? I will always be there for you. Plus, the Patterson family will always be your home. No one can take away what is yours.
The mans gentle but domineering words made Qing Yuns heart feel very ironic, but he pulled a cunning smile down and hesitantly said, But I still want to go back to
When Ahaz heard that, he couldnt help his expression from turning cold. He picked up the young mans chin so that he was looking straight at him, He said those words, and you still want to go back?
I really like the family butler K. I want to take him away, cant I? And I dont know you well, you often put your hands on me, so of course, I need to have K around for peace of mind.
"
"
The young man opened his eyes as clear as water and stared at Ahaz for a moment.
Not familiar? Hands? Ahaz cried and laughed at the same time and suddenly thought of his other identity
When Feng Fei Ming returned home, the large villa looked incredibly empty. The windows that were often lit late into the night were now just dark.
He skipped the maids, who looked a little frightened, and went straight upstairs. When he saw the open door of the youths room, Feng Fei Mings pupils shrank. He quickly walked in and turned on the light.
An empty space. The huge bookcase has disappeared, and even the bedding stained with the smell of youth has been taken away.
Surprisingly, he was so determined that he..didnt even leave a single thing behind?
Feng Fei Ming leaned against the wall in despair. Suddenly, he saw a book left on the ground and immediately scrambled over, as if someone would snatch it away from him if he was one step behind.
This is the book he once gave to the young man. Feng Fei Ming rubbed the boys name on the title page, and his tears finally fell on the dense ink.
Feng Fei Ming held the token wrapped in his suit and this book in his arms and leaned against the wall, crying like a child.
Why couldnt he give a little more trust? Why did he have to speculate on him with so much malice? Why did he wait until the young man was gone before he began to miss the warmth he brought?
No one can give Feng Fei Ming an answer. He can only bear the consequences of all his actions alone.
The next day, Feng Fei Ming went to the company and transferred all the shares he had gotten over the years to Shen Mingye. He returned the entire Patterson family intact.
On the third day, Feng Fei Ming packed his things and left the villa where he and the youth lived together.
Before leaving, Feng Fei Ming held the familiar staircase handrail for the last time and walked down. He pressed his index finger on the pattern on the wooden handrail and suddenly noticed that there were some scattered words on it.
These words could perfectly form sentences and a poem.
Feng Fei Ming froze as he remembered what Yoder had said once when he helped him up the stairs.
The handrail of your house is very chic?
Feng Fei Ming, whose emotions had already subsided, was like a madman as he pressed the dense letters on the handrail fiercely from top to bottom. These words were engraved with extreme clarity and can be easily identified as long as one has grasped the pattern.
Feng Fei Ming carefully stroked the entire staircase handrail from top to bottom until his fingers were red and swollen.
He cried and laughed. With tears streaming down his face, he muttered, Why didnt I find out? Why
Feng Fei Ming stayed one more night in the villa. This night, he did not sleep. He took a pen and paper to transcribe the lines on the entire handrail in detail.
Then, he left the Patterson family with a broken box, a book, and a pile of transcribed love poems.
