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

Chapter 67 Eating

When the car arrived home, Song Yafei was still leaning against me, her eyes closed as if she were asleep.

I had no choice but to pick her up again and carry her to the room, where I placed her on the bed.

As I covered her with the blanket and was about to get up and leave, she suddenly grabbed my collar, and I fell towards her without warning.

Fortunately, I stopped, just nose to nose.

Song Yafei barely opened her eyes, her gaze somewhat dazed, as if she were neither drunk nor sober.

She asked, "What was your answer to Xie Wenyao's question just now?"

The question from earlier.

I thought about it, and it seems like the question is asking who I like.

This question is easy to answer; there is no other answer.

I just didn't want to admit it in front of others, and even less so in front of her.

Seeing that I didn't answer, Song Yafei wouldn't give up and kept chasing after my collar.

"Tell me, is it because you have someone else in your heart but are afraid to admit it?"

I assumed she was drunk, grabbed her hand, and slowly pulled it off my collar.

"You've had too much to drink. I'll get you a towel to wipe yourself down."

I finally managed to get her hand off my arm. When I went to the bathroom, I saw her hand frantically trying to pry it off in the air.

When I came out again, she had stopped struggling, and her eyes were closed, quiet and still, as if she were asleep.

I held a hot water bottle and a towel, and gently wiped her down.

I stroked her beautiful face, across her high nose and forehead, and traced her eyebrows.

I left deep marks on each of these places, but now they just look familiar.

After I finished washing her, I also went into the health bureau to wash myself.

That night, without her permission, I stayed in the room as well.

Because of Song Yafei's habits.

If she drinks too much, she will definitely get up and vomit in the middle of the night.

Being drunk can be a big deal or a small deal, so I had no choice but to stay by her side and take care of her.

As soon as I lay down, Song Yafei, as if she could smell me, turned over and hugged my arm, resting her head on it.

My body was a little stiff, so I didn't move, not wanting to wake her.

And that night, I also fell asleep looking at her profile, which was a rare occurrence for me.

Perhaps because I had stayed up late the night before, when I got up the next morning, Song Yafei was nowhere to be seen. She must have gone to work.

I went to see Lin Qiuran as soon as I got up. There were some tasks that needed to be handed over today, and I needed his help.

I was having breakfast when Lin Qiuran arrived.

He didn't stand on ceremony and sat down, asking Aunt Lin to bring me bowls and chopsticks to eat with me.

While eating breakfast, Lin Qiuran talked about the interesting things she had seen that morning.

"Song Yafei and Xie Wenyao got into a fight again last night. I hope you weren't involved? The newspaper published a photo of the three of you."

In the end, it was still exposed by someone with ulterior motives?

I was worried this would happen last night, and it did.

If they had been separated earlier, things wouldn't have come to this. I wonder how Song Yafei will feel about today's newspaper.

"What did they say?"

Lin Qiuran shook her head dismissively, "Gossip is all about truth and falsehood, exaggeration is their characteristic, and in the end they can't even come up with a coherent explanation."

Even so, it has already become common knowledge.

It's gotten this serious already.

Who knows what the consequences of these rumors will be?

It's unclear what kind of conflict will arise between Professor Xie and the Song family.

"Heavens, are you involved in their affairs too?" Lin Qiuran asked me with some concern.

I shook my head. "No, it's nothing. It was just a drunken argument. I haven't seen today's news yet. I was just asking you."

"You're still not alright? I've seen the pictures; it's clearly two women fighting over one man. These newspapers are all opportunistic; don't take it too seriously."

It's rare that he's still willing to care about me.

"Did I cause you any trouble?"

I'm just a nobody who was dragged in to add fuel to the fire. This isn't the first or second time this has happened, I'm used to it and don't care anymore.

Lin Qiuran, with the hindsight of a sage, said, "I've long seen that Miss Xie's feelings for you are special, but it's a bit awkward at this time. Couldn't you have waited until you got divorced to confess?"

I was shocked by what he said. Luckily there were no security cameras, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to explain myself even if I was in the right.

"But if she does this, won't you be in the eye of the storm? It'll seem like it's really your fault."

Yes, I ended up being a victim again.

But what does this have to do with me? It wasn't my choice to begin with.

After chatting with Lin Qiuran for a few more minutes, we went out.

After dealing with the customer, it was already noon, so Lin Qiuran and I discussed having lunch outside.

Unexpectedly, Wu Qian called at that moment.

It turns out she was shopping in this mall, and she called to ask Lin Qiuran about lunch.

With that in mind, I said to Lin Qiuran, "Let Wu Qian come find us and have a meal together."

The last time Lin Qiuran was sent to the police station, it was largely because of me.

After Wu Qian, who was pregnant, was frightened, I was also busy after Lin Qiuran came out and didn't have time to go see her. I'll take this opportunity to show my concern.

Wu Qian is a straightforward person, and she arrived in no time.

The older child has already been sent to kindergarten, and she's here to buy some things that her unborn child will need after birth.

While waiting for her to arrive, Lin Qiuran kept glancing towards the door, and even went outside at times, looking worried.

Just as he turned to come in again, Wu Qian entered.

He hurriedly went to meet her, took the things Wu Qian had bought, helped her up, and showered her with concern.

Both of them had happy smiles on their faces.

Seeing this, I couldn't help but feel envious.

There was a time when I fantasized that things would be like that between me and Song Yafei.

She was heavily pregnant, and I stood beside her, acting as her servant.

This is all perfectly reasonable, and it's all done willingly.

But now, not only can things not be changed like this, but even the feelings we had before can't be rekindled.

It makes my heart ache just thinking about it.

Unexpectedly, just as I was thinking of Song Yafei, she called.

I quickly greeted Wu Qian and then turned to the side to answer the phone.

As soon as the call connected, Song Yafei asked me, "Where are you? Have you had lunch yet?"

I've never received a call from her at this time before. She never cares about small things like whether I've eaten or not.

I don't know what her intentions were in making that call.

However, I didn't choose to hide it. "Not yet, I'm just about to have a meal with Lin Qiuran and his wife."

"Where are you guys? I'm here to join in the fun too."

I looked at Lin Qiuran, then at Wu Qian, unsure if they really wanted to see Song Yafei.

After all, Song Yafei played a significant role in the last time Lin Qiuran was imprisoned.

Besides, Wu Qian is currently heavily pregnant, so we can't let her get angry.
