Chapter 211 Do You Still Love Me?
Chapter 211 Do You Still Love Me?
Song Yafei turned her head, her bright, watery eyes fixed on me, her gaze filled with pleading.
I know what kind of answer she wants.
I also know that as long as I comply with her, there won't be too much trouble.
But I couldn't go against my own heart, and I hesitated to speak.
Song Yafei's expectant gaze shifted slightly. She moved closer to me and whispered, "Zhang Tian, say you're willing."
I turned my face away from her; I simply couldn't bear to look at her.
But Song Yafei forced me to look her in the eye. By then, she had lost her patience, and the expression on her face was no longer so gentle.
"Zhang Tian, say you do!"
At this point, her tone was filled with anger, clearly indicating that I was not allowed to disobey her.
I tried opening my mouth several times, but I couldn't give her a satisfactory answer.
I knew my actions would anger her, but I didn't expect them to bring tears to her eyes.
Ultimately, I owe her. It was originally agreed that we would each get what we needed: she would save Lin Qiuran, and I would not leave her.
It's still me who hasn't done it yet.
I turned to look at her, gently wiped away her tears, and sighed softly.
"Yafei, none of these things really matter. Since I promised to come back to you, I will definitely do it. Don't worry."
"No, I'm worried!" Song Yafei grabbed my hand, her eyes full of expectation.
This reminds me of our original dream.
Once, we wanted to make a lifelong vow in such a sacred church, witnessed by a priest.
I think Song Yafei did this today probably because she was thinking about the past.
But unlike the unbreakable bond we had back then, do we still have love between us now?
Whether or not there was love, we didn't get back together because of love. What brought us back together was just a transaction with a price tag.
The surprise she had carefully prepared could only end up being less than perfect.
After leaving the church, I thought Song Yafei would lose her temper, but to my surprise, she unexpectedly discussed with me where to go for our honeymoon.
Even mentioning a few very familiar places stirred up my memories.
Those were all places we had planned to go to for our honeymoon.
When we first got married, we weren't like we are now; we had discussed going to many places.
Later, whether she did it on purpose or was genuinely busy, she kept postponing it, and we never got our wish until the divorce.
It's all in the past, and even if we bring it up again, we won't have the same mindset as before.
Knowing her plans, I immediately rejected Song Yafei.
Song Yafei was a little surprised. "What? Haven't you always wanted to go? These are all places you like."
I patted her hand. "It's not that we're not going, it's that we'll go later."
She may have forgotten that this was the excuse she used to give me in the past.
"The restaurant has been in soft opening for a while, and we've chosen an auspicious day for its official opening soon."
"Besides, your project is in progress, and neither of us is available. Let's go together when we're both free, so we can have more fun."
Whether or not we will go in the future remains to be seen.
I think Song Yafei really intended to do so, but she must have carefully considered my words.
Seeing that what I said made sense, Song Yafei didn't say anything more, and the car heading towards the airport changed direction.
……
After that, Song Yafei and I were both busy for a while.
On the day of the official opening, thanks to Mrs. Li and Song Yafei, those wealthy ladies sent many nice things.
That day, the restaurant manager had these things delivered to the study in the villa.
After dinner, I tidied up these things in the study.
I didn't expect Song Yafei to come back so early today. She came in when she saw me tidying up.
She glanced at the expensive packaging on the ground. "Can one person handle all this stuff? We can just have Uncle Wu and the others help us."
I noted down the pair of gold bracelets that Madam Jin had sent in the ledger before replying to her.
"Since I'm just idling around anyway, I'll organize it a bit, make a record of it, and return it to you whenever I have the chance."
Anyone with eyes can tell that this bracelet was a gift for Song Yafei.
Song Yafei took off her high heels, threw her bag on the sofa, and lay down on it.
Lying there, she leisurely watched me tidy up, saying, "I see you're completely captivated by these things. How can you be so greedy!"
Without even looking up, I chuckled and said, "What do you mean, 'money-grubber'? Most of them are only doing this because of you. I'm just acting as a middleman and keeping the money."
"You know that much!" Song Yafei replied with a smile.
She propped her head up and looked at me, then fell silent after a while. When I looked up again, she was asleep on the sofa.
I took a blanket and gently covered her with it. After I had tidied up most of the things, I carried her back to the master bedroom.
Just as I put her down, she woke up unexpectedly and let out a soft moan in my arms.
Her thick nasal voice sounded like she was pleading with me, "I'm so tired lately! You've been busy too, have you missed me?"
Without thinking, I obediently hummed in agreement.
This made Song Yafei very happy. She hugged my neck and kissed me. Everything happened so naturally!
After we finished and washed up, Song Yafei leaned against me, and we hugged each other.
Song Yafei drew circles on my chest with her fingers.
When I couldn't help but feel distracted, I grabbed her hand and said, "What, aren't you tired yet? You've been working too hard lately, you should get some rest."
She shook her head in my arms and suddenly asked me, "Zhang Tian, do you still love me?"
I froze for a moment, my body stiffening instantly.
But not wanting to spoil her mood, he quickly replied, "Don't overthink it, go to sleep."
Song Yafei didn't say anything more and let me put her back on the bed.
But as soon as I lay down, he hugged me from behind, and I was a little nervous for a moment.
But the lack of action made me relax again.
Just when I thought she was about to fall asleep, I was surprised to hear her muffled voice.
"You don't speak because you don't want to go against your own heart."
"You're unwilling to say you love me, so in your eyes, getting back together with me is really just a transaction, right?"
She's absolutely right; that's exactly what I think.
But I also know that I was wrong this time. I didn't want to upset her, so I simply shut up and pretended not to hear and fell asleep.
I don't know how I fell asleep later.
The next day was the weekend, but when I woke up I didn't see Song Yafei.
However, even though it was the weekend, Lin Qiuran and I had an appointment with a client.
Originally, he planned to let Lin Qiuran go alone, but he felt he wasn't very confident and felt more at ease with me there.
When I learned that Lin Qiuran planned to stay while he was still in the hospital, I made him a partner in the restaurant.
Moreover, he is eloquent and persuasive, making him a great help in dealing with clients.
