Chapter 299: Promises ( 2 )
Despite his deep concern, there was little he could do. The only way for her to heal was for her to confront her guilt and overcome the emotional barrier on her own.
For now, all he could do was stay by her side and ensure she was never alone or in harm’s way. This was why he had decided to return to Haicheng and stay at his grandfather’s house.
After informing the chef, Feng Zhexuan went about his tasks, while Yan Yuling remained in bed, staring at the ceiling. After a long internal struggle, she finally sat up and retrieved Gu Jianci’s diary from the drawer.
Leaning on the pillow, she caressed the cover of the diary for a long time before summoning the courage to open it. The first page featured a picture of them taken during their trip to Huasan.
A small smile formed on her lips as she noticed the hand-drawn heart encircling their faces. She had known about his feelings for a long time but had pretended ignorance, unwilling to risk their friendship. She had thought that after her marriage, he would move on. But unexpectedly—
Before her tears could fall, she took several deep breaths to calm herself. Once composed, she began flipping through the pages. The diary contained no words, only dates and photographs.
Each page chronicled their journey together, from the moment they met to their last trip before he went abroad.
As she gazed at the photos, her eyes turned red and watery. When she reached the final page, she expected to see another picture of the two of them. But when she flipped the page, she was stunned.
Instead of her picture with Gu Jianci, it was a photograph of her and Feng Zhexuan from behind. In the photo, she was smiling while holding Feng Zhexuan’s hand. He, in turn, was gazing at her with unmistakable love in his eyes.
