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

Chapter 221 They Came to Our Door

Song Yafei followed me into the bedroom.

I got ready and waited for her downstairs. Just as she was getting ready to leave, Aunt Lin suddenly came to report that the eldest son of the Xie family had arrived.

Isn't that Xie Wenyi?

Song Yafei coldly ignored him, saying, "What's he doing here? Let him go. There's nothing to say to him."

Judging from her expression, it seems that something happened between them that I don't know about.

Although Song Yafei didn't like Xie Wenyi before, she had never seen him avoid him like this before; at least she still maintained a polite demeanor.

Aunt Lin looked somewhat troubled, as if she were a bit difficult to deal with.

Song Yafei was getting impatient. "Go ahead, I need to go for a follow-up check-up with my husband. I don't want to see anyone else."

After saying that, she grabbed my hand and prepared to leave, but I didn't move.

She looked at me with a strange expression.

"Go see him. I'll wait for you here. There's still time. Going too early will just mean waiting at the hospital anyway."

"Besides, it's just a follow-up check-up, nothing important. If you have something to do, go and take care of it."

"no!"

Song Yafei rejected my idea without even thinking, "I'll go see him. It'll be over soon, nothing much. You wait for me here."

After saying that, she put the bag in my hand and then went out.

I didn't know when they would finish, so instead of obediently staying downstairs to wait, I went upstairs.

The upstairs terrace offers a clear view of the area below.

Although I don't care what happens between them, there's nothing else going on right now, so I'll just treat it as a show to watch.

I'm also very curious: between Yu Chengliang and Xie Wenyi, who is more special to Song Yafei?

As I expected, Song Yafei, perhaps in a hurry, did not welcome Xie Wenyi into the villa, but instead received him in the stone pavilion outside.

The stone pavilion is surrounded by the flowers and plants I planted earlier.

Aunt Lin brought them some tea.

Song Yafei sat there haughtily, arms crossed, talking coldly to Xie Wenyi without even glancing at him.

Xie Wenyi, as always, always gave people the illusion of being inferior in front of her.

Xie Wenyi opened and closed his mouth, saying something incessantly, his face pale and weak, as if he were pleading with Song Yafei.

I was a little curious about what they were talking about; Xie Wenyi seemed so humble.

Although I didn't want to, I still turned towards the balcony of the study, where I could clearly hear their conversation.

You can even see Xie Wenyi's sad eyes very clearly.

"Yafei, tell me, if I—and I mean if—he wasn't sick, would you still choose him? Would you give me a chance?"

what?

Was he talking about me?

Could it be that he thinks Song Yafei's refusal to accept him is because of my illness?

But in fact, they had known each other for many years before I even met Song Yafei, and they were a perfect match in terms of social standing.

If Song Yafei had feelings for him, how could she have chosen me instead of not being with him sooner?

What gave him this misconception?

Song Yafei took out a women's cigarette and puffed out smoke without any regard for anyone. The scene was full of the charm of a mature woman, making it hard to look away.

Song Yafei almost never smokes in front of me, but she is always uninhibited in front of other people.

She took two puffs of her cigarette, held it between her two fingers, and looked at Xie Wenyi with a cold and indifferent expression.

"This assumption simply doesn't exist. Whether he's sick or not is not a reason for deciding whether he's by my side or not."

He will only stay by my side!

"As for you, whether he's sick or not doesn't change the fact that I don't like you."

Xie Wenyi's eyes widened, his eyes reddened, and his body even trembled slightly, finding it hard to accept.

Even though Song Yafei had made her meaning so clear, Xie Wenyi still couldn't accept it.

This represents over twenty years of his relationship!

It's easier said than done to get him to give up so easily!

But after all these years, he should have given up long ago.

He said painfully, "But you know how I've felt for you since we were little..."

Song Yafei suddenly stood up with a cold face, threw the unfinished cigarette into the ashtray, clearly impatient.

Her annoyance was so obvious; she simply didn't want to listen, or rather, she had been tired of hearing these words since she was a child.

"You're overthinking it! The Song family and the Xie family have always just been neighbors and business partners. Even without you and me, their relationship won't change."

Yes, their families were neighbors since they were little, but they were forced to separate due to some events that happened later.

At this moment, Song Yafei also looked Xie Wenyi in the eye, which was rare for her, but her eyes were so cold and even warning.

"Do you really think I don't know what you've been doing? If you can't stop now, then there's no need for us to continue working together."

Those things?

What else Xie Wenyi did, I don't know.

That's why Song Yafei spoke so coldly.

I think there might be another reason why Song Yafei acted this way this time.

A while ago, the media suddenly went crazy, and for a whole week, the headlines were all about Xie Wenyi and Song Yafei being a couple.

Song Yafei did this probably to avoid future trouble and to prevent Xie Wenyi from bothering her any further.

Xie Wenyi lowered his head, his lips moved but he didn't say anything more, and his gaze towards Song Yafei was very complicated.

I didn't hear what they were saying after that; I had already turned around and gone downstairs.

It was almost time for my appointment with the doctor, so I went downstairs to the living room.

When I came down, Xie Wenyi was already gone.

Song Yafei did not return to the villa immediately. She remained standing in the pavilion, smoking with her back to the villa entrance, her expression unreadable.

But looking at her from behind, one can't help but feel a pang of heartache.

I turned my face away and refused to look anymore, not wanting her emotions to influence my decision.

At this moment, Aunt Lin came out of the kitchen, holding a small lunchbox and handing it to me. "Sir, this is a sandwich I made. Have a couple of bites after you've finished checking it."

I accepted the gift and thanked Aunt Lin. Just then, Song Yafei came in. Her expression, which had been rather unpleasant at the door, changed when she saw me, and she forced a faint smile.

"It's all taken care of, let's go."

I walked towards her, and until we arrived at the hospital together, I didn't ask her a single question along the way.

In the car, she explained to me, "There's nothing between Xie Wenyi and me from childhood to adulthood, and there won't be anything in the future, you have to believe me!"

I simply smiled and nodded at her explanation, indicating that I believed her, and then said nothing more.

She looked somewhat forlorn, but I simply turned my head to look out the window, ignoring her.

What's the difference between trusting and not caring? Either way, it can't hurt me anymore.
