My life is ending, and my aloof CEO wife is taking revenge on me.

Chapter 288: I guessed it.

Not long after Lin Qiuran left, Song Yafei returned.

She changed into a casual gray suit, looking youthful and beautiful, but she looked a bit disheveled, and for some reason, she was walking with a slight limp.

Although I was puzzled, I didn't press the matter because of our respective positions.

I only learned the truth from Assistant Luo on the second day.

It turned out that Song Yafei didn't go to the company that day, but went to a very efficacious temple to pray for a peace charm for Xiao Xiaotian.

When I heard this, I found it hard to believe.

Song Yafei, who has never believed in ghosts or gods, actually went to a temple to seek protection.

Such an ethereal and unpredictable thing is truly surprising!

Assistant Luo told me that Song Yafei went there with utmost sincerity, and even wanted to meet the efficacious monk that others had mentioned.

But no matter what methods Song Yafei tried, she could not find the monk.

Just as she was about to leave, she encountered an elderly sweeping monk.

Song Yafei didn't know if this sweeping monk was the person she was meant to meet, but he confided many of Song Yafei's worries and confusions.

Assistant Luo didn't go into details about what exactly happened; perhaps even he didn't know. He only told me why Song Yafei was limping.

She also told me something unexpected: after returning from the temple, Song Yafei actually made a will.

The doctor's order actually stated that all of her estate should be transferred to my name.

This was completely unexpected; I don't understand why she suddenly did this.

She's very career-oriented and so young, how could she possibly make a will so early?

Could it be that she...?

impossible!

Why would I want to do that?

However, I never wanted anything from her, and whether she did these things or not had no impact on me.

When we were still husband and wife, I never thought about it; now that we've been through so much, I'd never even consider it.

I just want to live a peaceful life and get through these last days.

So when I found out, she didn't mention it, and I pretended not to know. Nobody knows what will happen next.

Moreover, given her temperament, if she knew that her assistant had told me these things, none of us would be happy.

The less trouble, the better.

Not long after Song Yafei returned, Xiao Xiaotian woke up.

When the nanny left, Song Yafei took out a small jade pendant from her pocket and put it around Xiao Xiaotian's neck.

It's only the size of a one-yuan coin and looks like a talisman.

The ward was eerily quiet. Apart from the occasional sounds of me teasing Xiao Xiaotian, Song Yafei and I barely spoke.

Perhaps because of the frequent checkups these past few days, Xiao Xiaotian has been sleeping a lot. After being fed some formula, he fell asleep in Song Yafei's arms in no time.

I helped Song Yafei put the child back to the hospital bed.

After we finished our work and sat down, I brought up the matter of cooperation with Song Yafei.

At this point, I certainly don't want to bring it up.

However, the board of directors has called many times in the past two days to inquire about the situation, and even my grandfather called personally.

This made me feel compelled to bring up this matter.

Song Yafei looked at me and said, "I remember you brought a secretary with you. Let Assistant Luo and your secretary handle the cooperation."

I nodded; that was exactly what I was thinking.

I'm quite at ease leaving the collaboration to Uncle Zhao, and given Xiao Xiaotian's current condition, I can't afford to be distracted by anything else.

I never expected that Song Yafei would take the opportunity to make another suggestion that I wanted to refuse but couldn't.

"Xiao Xiaotian will be discharged from the hospital in two days. You can move into the villa then."

I refused without even thinking. "I can go and take care of Xiao Xiaotian anytime, but I can't move back in."

Song Yafei explained, "Actually, there are too many things to do at the company, and I can't be with Xiaoxiaotian all the time."

“I think you probably don’t want to miss the chance to be by his side, so…”

She did give me a reason to fall for her.

While I was still hesitating, Song Yafei promised again, "Don't worry, once Xiao Xiaotian recovers, you can leave anytime you want."

In the end, I agreed to her suggestion.

It wasn't because of what she said, because she never had any credibility with me.

But now that I have power, even if she wants to stop me from leaving, it won't be so easy.

And she's right, I rarely have the opportunity to spend time with Xiaoxiaotian.

If he recovers this time, Song Yafei will never let me take him away.

And I want to save him, I really, really want to.

Then I would have no choice but to have another child with Song Yafei. Time was of the essence, and I couldn't hesitate any longer.

Perhaps moving to a villa would be more convenient.

I stood by the window and looked out. Birds flew on the branches, and green leaves were just sprouting. Everything looked like it was coming back to life, full of vitality.

I think Little Tian will also have a happy ending.

Suddenly, my waist tightened as Song Yafei hugged me from behind, her face pressed against mine.

“Ah Tian.”

She murmured, her voice heavy with nasal tone, and soon a dampness spread across her back.

she cried.

My heart skipped a beat.

Although I was very resistant to her getting close, I also knew how difficult it was for her as a single mother.

She has suffered a lot of setbacks in the past two years, not to mention her child's illness, which has put her under a lot of pressure.

I clenched my fist and forced myself not to push her away.

She called my name over and over again, and used a lot of force in her hands, as if she wanted to merge me with her.

I know she's venting her emotions.

She suddenly said, "I love you, Zhang Tian. I can't forget you, I can't forget you."

"But I don't know how to repair our relationship. I want to go back to how things were in the beginning."

"But no matter how hard I try, I can't seem to do it right. I really don't know what to do."

I simply let her pour out her troubles without responding.

Because I didn't want to upset her at that moment, I simply pretended not to hear it.

Little Tian didn't sleep well, tossing and turning, and occasionally letting out a couple of whimpers.

I don't know if he was dreaming about something, or if his illness made him feel very uncomfortable.

I patted Song Yafei's hand and looked at Xiao Xiaotian on the hospital bed.

Song Yafei then let go of me, and I could finally see the tear stains on her face and her helpless look.

It seems that Song Yafei has changed at some point; at least she is better at expressing her emotions than before.

But I don't care about any of that anymore; I'm just providing her with an outlet for her emotions.

That's something I can still offer.

When Xiao Xiaotian started whimpering again, Song Yafei immediately wiped away her tears, went to the bedside, held Xiao Xiaotian in her arms, and gently coaxed the child to sleep.

Looking at the scene before me, I felt lost and my heart was ice-cold.

If it weren't for the hospital, if Song Yafei and I hadn't already broken up...

This is the scene I once longed to see most: a loved one holding a child, full of love, how heartwarming.

The feeling of home that I want.

But everything has changed, and we can never go back.
