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

Chapter 94 Invitation

I usually have a decent alcohol tolerance; a bottle of red wine is enough to only make me slightly tipsy.

When Song Yafei arrived, I realized it was almost midnight.

The person who said she would wait for me, now I'm not only waiting for her, but I'm also being told to turn back halfway through, and in the end, this day is almost over.

When she arrived, she looked unhappy.

Shouldn't I be the one who's unhappy?

She stood me up, and now she's in a bad mood?

It wasn't until the waiter arrived and saw Song Yafei that he handed us the menu.

After ordering, Song Yafei casually said as she handed the menu back to the waiter, "Bring another bottle of wine."

How ridiculous to bring another bottle of wine!

She had no idea that my stomach couldn't handle it at all.

They were very efficient; the dishes arrived in no time, along with the bottle of wine I had specifically requested.

Without hesitation, I opened the bottle and poured myself a glass.

Song Yafei ate the food in front of her quite quickly, as if she was very hungry.

Before I could say anything, I heard her complain, "Didn't I ask Assistant Luo to tell you that he's very busy today and can't come?"

So, I forced her to come here, didn't I?

From the moment I arrived until now, she has never paid me any attention, and has never given me a kind look.

I couldn't help but retort sarcastically, "I'm so sorry to have to make you spend such a meaningless day with me when you're so busy."

Song Yafei sensed something different in my words and noticed my unusual behavior.

She stopped what she was doing, put down her knife and fork, and stared at me.

She looked at me, and I looked at her.

Just when we were at an impasse, I spoke first, "Today is our wedding anniversary, and you said you would, but you didn't keep your promise."

Song Yafei sighed, "Don't overthink it. I'm just too busy. I'll come find you when I'm done. It's not good for your health to stay here in the cold wind."

Is he genuinely worried about my health, or is he just saying it casually?

Busy?

Today is the weekend when everyone should be resting; even if someone was busy, they've already finished.

Is he busy with official business, or something else?

They still think I'm easy to fool, and they keep bringing up the company.

I don't really care anymore; whatever she says goes.

I nodded dismissively, "You've worked hard! The company needs you, so please take care of yourself and don't overwork yourself."

My understanding seemed to have touched her, and the expression on her face was much better than before.

She even got up and came to my side, grabbed my arm, and pinched it.

"I'm not here yet, you can eat first. You've gotten so thin lately, don't wait next time."

I don't know if I'll wait any longer, but at least the number of times like this will decrease.

After all, no one will stay in the same place forever waiting for another.

She even mentioned the painting that I pressed Assistant Luo about today.

"I will definitely help you buy that painting of your parents, don't worry, it just will take some time."

Sure enough, something went wrong.

I grabbed her hand, somewhat helplessly. "What happened? Has it already been bought by someone else?"

Her fingers gently stroked my furrowed brow. "There's no problem, don't worry, I will definitely keep my promise to you."

can you?

Will it be possible?

She promised me more than just these one or two things.

Even our wedding vows, the most sincere vows, didn't come true in the end.

Not to mention things that are usually insignificant to her.

But in terms of qualifications, I am even less qualified to say this; I can only place my hopes on her.

"Okay, I'll wait."

Song Yafei returned to her seat, ate some more food, and poured herself a glass of wine.

I will bring that painting to her and hand it to her, saying, "Happy Anniversary."

"Is this for me?"

Her face beamed with undisguised joy.

She had already unfolded the painting, and I watched her every move, observing her expression change from joy to shock, and then to nostalgia.

Her hand traced the paint across her face inch by inch.

What is she thinking right now?

Perhaps, like me, you miss her from that time.

Do you like it?

Do you like the you from that time?

Do you still prefer who you are now?

She gave a pale smile, filled with emotion, "I was so naive back then, I didn't know anything, I just charged around recklessly!"

But that's the one I love most.

We ate our meals in silence, occasionally glancing at the distant lights and fireworks.

The bright lights of the night made the city even more dazzling, while my life seemed so bleak and colorless.

After dinner, we rode together in her black car home.

Just as she was about to get off the bus, her phone rang.

Then came the constant ding-dong sound, the sound of incoming text messages.

It was very ordinary, and very rushed.

Song Yafei and the others glanced at me while holding their phones, then looked down and focused on checking the information on their phones.

Her face gradually darkened.

When we arrived at the villa, I was about to get out of the car when she grabbed my hand.

"Go back and get some rest today. I have official business to attend to, so don't wait for me."

Are we going again?

It's easy for me to guess that she went to see Yu Chengliang.

She left for less than an hour before she had to get back to work.

In the dead of night, could she still tell me she was busy with work?

But I didn't delve into it and nodded understandingly, "Okay, go ahead and get busy. Take a nap when you have a spare moment. Don't overwork yourself."

"Ok."

Then, under her gaze, I opened the car door and got out.

I stood beside the car and watched it drive away in front of me.

Just like when I watched her walk towards Yu Chengliang, my heart was filled with reluctance, and my heart ached so much that I couldn't breathe, but I could only watch helplessly.

My stomach was already aching, and I didn't have the energy to pay attention to anything else. I quickly went upstairs to find some medicine.

After taking the medicine, I lay on the bed fully clothed. To my surprise, when I woke up the next day, I saw Song Yafei sleeping right next to my ear.

In just a few days, the relationship between us underwent a dramatic change.

She was asleep beside me. I lost my usual patience and hastily got up to go to the bathroom to wash up.

When she went in, one of her coats was hanging there, with a gold corner peeking out of the pocket.

When I took it out, I saw it was Professor Xie's invitation to the exhibition.

But to my surprise, the name on it was Yu Chengliang.

Some time ago, when Yu Chengliang was at the company, he caused a lot of trouble for the studio.

Everyone avoids him like the plague, treating him like trash, so it's surprising that they would invite him.

Yes, it's probably Song Yafei's doing again.

They really go to great lengths for his development.

After looking at it, I put the things back and then went back to the sink.

At this moment, Song Yafei hurriedly pushed open the bathroom door.
