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

Chapter 27 Tell me, what do you want?

"Xie Wenyao, you..."

Song Yafei looked at Xie Wenyao hesitantly, then at me, whose face was pale, before finally turning and walking towards the door.

Xie Wenyao and her friend have been friends for many years, so they certainly can't afford to break up at this time.

Businessmen weigh profits and losses; leaving now is the best option.

But Yu Chengliang didn't understand this principle.

"Mr. Song, are we just going to leave like this?"

He held Song Yafei's hand, his eyes filled with longing as he looked towards the inner hall.

Those who can get into that place are not ordinary socialites from wealthy families.

I know he's following Song Yafei around for resources and connections.

Unfortunately, his plan for today is going to fall through.

Without Song Yafei, he couldn't even get close to the door of this place.

"President Song, wait for me."

Yu Chengliang glared at me angrily, then quickly went to chase after Song Yafei.

As I watched their backs, my vision blurred, and as if all my strength had been drained, I fell backward as if I were walking on cotton.

"Zhang Tian!!"

Before I lost consciousness, I seemed to hear Song Yafei's anxious voice.

I tried hard to open my eyes to see if she really cared about me.

But my body had reached its limit, and I had no strength left. Soon I was plunged into darkness.

"Zhang Tian, ​​what are you pretending for now?"

As Song Yafei called out, I felt as if I had returned to the distant past.

That was when we first met.

Back then, in order to save up for living expenses, I would collect bottles every day after school.

Once, I went to the back of an alley to rummage through the trash cans and heard a girl screaming for help from deep inside.

I don't know where I got the courage from, being as thin as a bean sprout at the time, but I rushed over without thinking.

When I saw five or six burly men with their faces covered, covering the mouths of young girls, I felt a chill of fear.

But when I met the girl's beautiful eyes filled with tears, I suddenly regained my courage, picked up the half mop on the ground, and rushed over to save her without hesitation.

I don't know how many punches I took, but I only had one thought in my mind: I had to save that person.

My reckless fighting style and the sight of me covered in blood probably intimidated those people.

They actually tried to negotiate with me, offering me a share of the ransom as a condition that I hand over Song Yafei.

At that time, I had no idea that she was the daughter of the richest man in City C. I only thought that no matter what, I had to rescue her.

So I pretended to be interested, feigned negotiating with them, and lured them to a position advantageous to us. Then I suddenly shouted loudly to Song Yafei, "Run!"

What will you do?

"Don't worry about me, just keep running!"

The girl was crying her eyes out, her body covered in wounds, and she didn't dare to linger for even a moment.

I was using my body to create an escape route for her.

Seeing the fat meat in my mouth vanish into thin air, the kidnappers were furious and beat me like a sandbag.

In my hazy state, what I saw was Song Yafei holding my tattered body, wailing loudly.

"Don't sleep! I don't even know your name yet!"

"Please, please don't scare me, please wake up!"

In the dream, the girl's cries overlapped with Song Yafei's final screams in reality.

It was as if an invisible pair of large hands pulled me up from the soft clouds.

I slowly opened my eyes, and the blinding sunlight made me momentarily blind.

After my eyes adjusted to the light, I looked around and my gaze fell on the woman sleeping soundly by the bed.

Her serene and beautiful profile is just like that of the teenage girl in my dream.

Over the years, time has left no trace on Song Yafei; she remains as beautiful and flawless as ever.

But I am no longer the brave and tough boy I used to be.

At this moment, Song Yafei's slender fingers, which were resting on the back of my hand, trembled slightly, and she opened her beautiful eyes, which were as bright as stars.

Our eyes met, the sunlight was perfect, and I thought how wonderful it would be if time could stand still at this moment.

Unfortunately, beauty is always fleeting, and Song Yafei ruined the moment with her first words.

"Zhang Tian, ​​have I ever failed you in terms of food or clothing? You stayed up all day and night for something as trivial as getting into the studio, and ended up in the hospital?"

"This is a complete waste of medical resources!"

Song Yafei's eyes quickly filled with frost, chilling to the bone, just like her tone of voice, making one feel as if they had fallen into an ice cave.

I gave a bitter smile and said calmly, "I'm just paying the price for my dream."

"dream?"

Song Yafei sneered.

"Did I hear that right? A vain gigolo like you actually has dreams?"

"Aren't you just someone who always asks me for money?"

I thought we could have a good talk, but her words, which were like poison, gradually made my heart lose its warmth.

I said curtly, "Whether I have dreams or not is my own business, and Mr. Song doesn't need to worry about it."

"As for the money, I will pay it back to you after I start working."

"Give me back the money? What are you going to use to give me back?"

Song Yafei stood up, looking down at me with disdain in her eyes.

"Zhang Tian, ​​after living off a woman for so many years, don't you know your own limitations? You don't actually think that by giving away a painting, you can climb up to the Xie family and become a famous painter, do you?"

"I'm only willing to support a good-for-nothing like you because of me. If it weren't for me, who would be willing to spend money to buy your lousy paintings?"

I frowned and stared silently at Song Yafei.

When did that girl, who would blush and love watching me draw, and who was generous with her praise, become like this?

She's never liked my paintings? What about all the things she said before?

At that moment, a deep sense of exhaustion spread throughout my body.

I'm so tired!

I don't want to investigate, nor do I want to try to salvage this already broken marriage.

My voice was hoarse as I said, "I'm sorry I couldn't become the person you liked. For the rest of my life, I don't want to tarnish your eyes anymore."

"What do you mean?"

Song Yafei paused, a hint of panic flashing in her eyes.

"Let's get a divorce. I'll leave with nothing."

In an instant, the surroundings became so quiet you could hear a pin drop, and I met her gaze with a calm and composed heart.

After a long while, Song Yafei moved.

Without a word, she picked up her purse, slammed the door shut, and left without looking back, leaving not a single word behind.

I smiled helplessly, knowing that she had rejected me again.

Looking at the branches of trees swaying in the wind outside the window, I appeared calm on the surface, but my heart was still aching from Song Yafei's words.

How did we, who once loved each other so much, end up like this?

dong dong dong.

While I was still in a daze, there was a few rhythmic knocks on the door.

I frowned and looked over, and saw Xie Wenyao slowly walk in.

She sat down naturally on the edge of the bed, looking at me carefully with concern. "What's wrong with your body? Why are you so weak? I remember you weren't like this when you were in school."

"There's no one else here, so let's get straight to the point. Xie Wenyao, what do you want? I don't think our relationship is enough to make you care about me so much."

The pain of those years is still vivid in my mind, and I have no intention of being hypocritical with her.
