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

Is it necessary to continue with Chapter 248?

After Aunt Lin left, Song Yafei and I got straight to the point and began negotiations.

I stared intently into her eyes. "Song Yafei, I think you should see the truth this time."

"I can tell you didn't do it on purpose, and you feel guilty towards me. Under these circumstances, it's not unreasonable for me to make a few requests, is it?"

Song Yafei nodded, as if she had expected it.

I finally had the opportunity to bring up my long-planned scheme.

"Actually, I only have one condition, which is to leave this place, and from now on we will be strangers and never see each other again."

Song Yafei kept her head down the whole time. After a long while, she finally spoke slowly, "I'll agree to whatever you say. This time, there are no conditions."

Last time, she tried to delay by force, which led to me suffering abuse for several months.

If she has any other conditions this time, I'm afraid even she's afraid that all that awaits me is death.

I think she realized that too, which is why she agreed to my request so readily.

When she agreed, I didn't hesitate to get up, change my clothes, and leave.

But Song Yafei still stopped me, pressing down on my body as I tried to get up.

Before you leave, I'd like to ask you a few questions, is that alright?

It's just a matter of answering a few questions. If it can get her to willingly let me leave, it's not a big problem.

"Ask me, and I will answer you to the best of my ability."

I agreed, but Song Yafei hesitated for a few minutes before finally speaking.

"I know that book was given to me by you."

A few months ago, I told her the truth, and she didn't believe me. How come she believes me now? Okay?

Her words quickly answered my question.

“Once, I saw those two torn pages in one of Yu Chengliang’s books, with your message on them.”

I sneered inwardly. So that's how it is.

She never believed me from beginning to end.

"Really? So, what are you trying to say by bringing this up now?"

Song Yafei bit her lower lip; I knew this was a small gesture she made when she was feeling uneasy.

"I just want to say thank you, and I'm also very sorry."

Her eyes were sincere and earnest.

But it doesn't matter to me anymore.

"I accept," I replied calmly.

Song Yafei probably expected me to be so calm. Although she found it hard to accept, she still had to maintain a calm facade.

"I want to know, did you come back to see me often during those years?"

I don't understand what the point of her asking these questions at this time is.

Is this meant to prove that I once truly loved her?

Or are you trying to prove something else?

Seeing that I didn't answer, she begged me to tell him, "Please tell me, okay? This is very important to me."

I scoffed, "What's the point of knowing all this now? It's all in the past. Song Yafei, you know we should look forward."

Song Yafei shook her head and smiled sadly, "I'm afraid I can't do it."

"If I could have let go all these years, I would have done so long ago."

Her eyes were filled with pain and reluctance as she stared at me.

But all I saw in her eyes was indifference.

The months I spent in the suburbs showed me the wickedness of human nature, and I never want to experience anything like that again.

Song Yafei is like a time bomb next to me. I can't stay by her side any longer, and I can't be soft-hearted anymore!

"If you don't have anything else, I'll be going now."

Song Yafei stared at me with eyes full of reluctance, but when she saw my unwavering gaze, she slowly, little by little, loosened her grip on the blanket.

Just then, Aunt Lin suddenly pushed the door open and knelt down in front of me and Song Yafei, her face full of grief.

Confused, I tried to help her up. "Aunt Lin, what are you doing?"

Song Yafei appeared very calm, as if she knew something.

Aunt Lin then apologized to us, her voice trembling with tears.

"Sir, I hung up the phone call from abroad. I couldn't understand what they were saying. I was in a hurry to get home, so I hung up."

boom--

It turned out that Aunt Lin had hung up the phone before leaving.

“I’ve already spoken to Madam about this, but you don’t know yet, sir.”

“It’s my fault. I caused a misunderstanding between my husband and wife, which led to these events.”

“It’s all my fault that my husband has suffered all this.”

"Madam and Sir, please don't separate because of this, or I will be guilty of a terrible sin!"

Aunt Lin felt very guilty.

But Aunt Lin didn't understand that this wasn't about who hung up the phone, but about mutual trust.

Even after I explained, I couldn't gain Song Yafei's trust at all.

This is the fundamental problem between us.

Song Yafei remained calm and composed, as if she had known all along, which explained her tranquility.

"Aunt Lin, please get up."

Aunt Lin felt very guilty and wiped away her tears before getting up.

"This is not your fault. There is an unsolvable problem between me and President Song. It is a problem of trust."

How can a relationship last if the two people can't trust each other?

The phone call that was hung up was just a pretext.

Even without this incident, other things would have happened later, and one day they would have come to light, making me see reality clearly.

Although Aunt Lin still couldn't forgive herself, she nodded.

"Sir, can you stay? You and your wife are doing well; you clearly love each other. Why are you torturing each other?"

Whether we loved each other or not, I don't know, but the torment I experienced was real.

I don't know how much longer my life can endure. While I still have time, I want to stop.

To my surprise, Song Yafei, who had just readily agreed to break up, would also take the opportunity to ask me to make up.

She suddenly grabbed my hand and pleaded softly, "Please give me another chance?"

She even assured me, "This time, I will never let you get hurt again. I will protect you and resolve our issues."

"Let's stay together quietly from now on, and there will never be a third party, okay?"

Her hungry movements accidentally pulled my arm, and I gasped in pain.

Suspicious and hungry, Song Yafei pulled up my sleeve, revealing my arm covered in countless needle marks.

“Sir, you…” Aunt Lin said in disbelief.

Song Yafei's eyes widened, and she even involuntarily took a step back, her words faltering slightly.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to."

I shook my head, unconcerned, and casually lowered my sleeve.

So, do you think it's necessary for us to continue?

Song Yafei tried to speak several times but couldn't utter a single word.

I think she probably realized that there was really no possibility between us anymore.

Otherwise, what do all my injuries mean?

What are the torments and humiliations I've suffered over the past few months compared to this?
