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

Chapter 153 I just want to see you one last time

Song Yafei gave me a playful glare, "What are you doing so engrossed in? Are you hiding someone in the room?"

I walked towards the study with a smile, and Song Yafei followed behind me.

After entering the room, I remembered the jewelry set I had designed for her, so I quickly put away the design sketches and hid them in a drawer.

Song Yafei followed closely behind me, and seeing my actions, she couldn't help but feel suspicious. "What are you hiding? Let me see."

"No way, this is a confidential work matter, how can I show it to you!"

This is a surprise I want to give her, so naturally I can't let her know beforehand.

Song Yafei, unusually, didn't argue with me, but she couldn't resist her curiosity, "What treasure is it that made you come all the way back?"

I then shared my plans with her, though it was a little difficult to bring it up.

"I don't plan to move back for the time being."

Song Yafei was immediately displeased. "Why? Didn't we agree to start over?"

She pouted unhappily.

"It's all for our fresh start. Distance makes the heart grow fonder. During this time, we might be able to rediscover the feeling of being in love. What do you think?"

Although she was unhappy, she still did as I wished.

"Alright then, living in both places is quite a novel experience, don't you think?"

As long as she doesn't feel there's anything wrong with it, that's fine.

I went back to the villa with Song Yafei, and after dinner, we stayed overnight.

Everything fell into place so naturally that night.

I was pleasantly surprised by her change and didn't force me to come back to the villa.

……

Time flies, and more than half a month has passed in the blink of an eye.

During this period, Song Yafei seemed like a different person. She left home on time every day and came back right after get off work.

During this time, we've been spending all our time together, as if we've returned to the sweet days of the past.

Whenever we have free time, we play with Liu Liu in the yard, and sometimes we go to the orphanage together.

During this time, I also visited Lin Qiuran frequently; he was recovering well.

But for Lin Qiuran, who was eager to recover to his former self, this was obviously a slow process, which made him very impatient.

Wu Qian remained as patient as ever, accompanying Lin Qiuran and taking care of the child. Every time I saw her, I couldn't see any fatigue on her face.

I came to visit Lin Qiuran this time, but I didn't expect to run into Miss Dong. I just happened to catch a glimpse of her.

Wu Qian was helping Lin Qiuran with rehabilitation, while Miss Dong stood there watching from afar.

I didn't want Lin Qiuran's hard-won peace to be shattered like this, so I went to Miss Dong's side when they weren't paying attention.

She was so focused that she didn't even notice me getting closer.

I patted her on the shoulder and led her to the coffee shop downstairs from the hospital.

We sat facing each other, and Ms. Dong ordered a coffee.

I cut to the chase without any hesitation, “Ms. Dong, as you can see, Lin Qiuran and her husband have a very good relationship. Please don’t disturb their lives anymore.”

Perhaps my words were direct and hurtful to Miss Dong, but whenever I think of Lin Qiuran, I can't be polite to her.

Miss Dong had her head down, as if she had been crying, and her voice was thick with a nasal tone.

Although I felt a little reluctant, when I thought about the harm Lin Qiuran had suffered, I didn't feel anything anymore.

She suddenly looked up at me pitifully, "Is he alright?"

Okay?

Perhaps she meant well, but in my opinion, her question was extremely irresponsible, which instantly made me furious.

"Do you think he'll get better? You've seen his condition. All of this is because of the suffering you've endured for no reason."

"If you want him to be okay, then please don't appear in his life anymore. We all long for a warm home, with children and a wife. Your presence will only bring him disaster."

"You may think that giving him money is compensation, but for his family, this money is far from enough to make up for the harm they have suffered, do you understand?"

"You two could have never crossed paths, so why did you have to disrupt that balance?"

Miss Dong shook her head vigorously, completely losing the arrogance and domineering attitude she had when they first met.

“I didn’t expect anything else, and I never thought about breaking up his family. I just wanted to see him one last time.”

Of course I understand.

But what can you say when you meet?

Say sorry, apologize for the hurt I caused?

Past grievances nearly cost him an arm, and this cannot be resolved with a simple apology.

What happened will leave scars in your heart, even if you say sorry and he says it's okay.

That was just giving myself an excuse not to care; the scars were still there.

But I knew that saying such things would be too hurtful, especially for a rich girl like Miss Dong who had been protected since childhood. In the end, I couldn't bring myself to say it.

"You'd better not see Lin Qiuran. He said before that he could not forgive her. If that's the answer you want, then these are his words."

"He ruined his life simply because of your affection. Do you think he would want to see you? For his recovery, please leave."

Perhaps she realized I was right; she staggered to her feet, tried to open her mouth several times, but ultimately said nothing.

Finally, he left, looking utterly dejected.

After she left, I returned to Lin Qiuran's ward. By then, Wu Qian had already gone home.

Upon seeing me, Lin Qiuran, who was sitting on the bed, immediately teared up. He looked at his hand, which had not yet fully recovered, and felt somewhat discouraged.

With Wu Qian not present, Lin Qiuran finally dared to sigh in despair, "Damn, rehabilitation really hurts like hell!"

"You're giving up already?"

Lin Qiuran smiled wryly, realizing that I had hit the nail on the head.

His current appearance is completely different from when Wu Qian was around. When Wu Qian was around, he always had a positive and optimistic demeanor. This is probably his true state now.

"Don't you want to hold your child in your arms anymore? Are you going to ruin your future with such a small difficulty?"

Lin Qiuran was silent for a while, and when he looked up again, he had returned to his positive and optimistic self.

"Hey, I was just telling you, staying in the sanatorium is so boring. You have no idea how happy I am when Wu Qian brings my son here every day."

"Seeing them gives me boundless energy. Just wait, give me some more time, what's a little injury?"

"That's right, this is the Lin Qiuran I know, the Lin Qiuran who is bold and fearless in charging forward."

Lin Qiuran got a little carried away by my praise, and his phone rang. It was probably a message from Wu Qian.

When he saw the message, a happy smile spread across his face, and I smiled along with him.

Then I actually saw Song Yafei standing at the door.

I told him when I arrived this morning, and I guess he had finished his work and hadn't gone home yet, so he came to pick me up again.
