Chapter 100 Starting Over
After Song Yafei left, Aunt Lin, who had disappeared sometime earlier, reappeared in the bedroom.
Startled by the bloodstains on my face, she asked with some concern, "Sir, what happened to you? I'll go get some medicine."
Without waiting for my reply, she went straight to get the medicine box and brought it over.
Aunt Lin worked quickly and efficiently, and in no time she applied disinfectant and cleaned my wound.
And surprisingly, this time she actually spoke up for Song Yafei.
"Sir, why did you and Madam have such a fierce argument this time? Is it because she didn't get back in time after I fainted?"
"Actually, my wife asked me about what happened that day afterward. It seems she was held up by something and couldn't come back in time. She still cares about you quite a bit."
If Aunt Lin had known it was for Yu Chengliang's sake, she wouldn't have said those things.
Aunt Lin had just finished packing her things and reached the door with her medicine box when she saw Song Yafei return.
The argument I just had seems to have taken a lot of my energy; I feel weak and slumped on the sofa.
I heard Song Yafei asking Aunt Lin at the door.
"Sir, have you been eating poorly lately? You've lost a lot of weight. When did your health become so bad?"
Aunt Lin always sided with me. Although she didn't dare to show it too obviously, she was still somewhat indignant and spoke up for me.
"Sir has been like this for some time now. Madam is too busy and rarely comes home, so naturally she didn't notice."
I didn't listen to what they said after that; I was too exhausted to continue, so I lay down on the sofa.
When I woke up again, I was covered with a blanket, and Song Yafei and Aunt Lin were nowhere to be seen.
I couldn't sleep in the bedroom, so I got up and groggily headed to my side.
He lay down as soon as he entered the room and quickly fell asleep.
During that time, I think I fell asleep, but I also think I wasn't. I vaguely heard the sound of the door being opened.
But I was powerless to cope; I barely even opened my eyes.
I don't know how much time passed, but I vaguely felt the bedside sinking a little, and then I heard Song Yafei's gentle voice.
"Zhang Tian, you've been sleeping for a long time, it's time to get up and eat."
Have a meal?
Upon hearing Song Yafei's voice, I instinctively refused to wake up, not wanting to feel hungry or anything.
I just felt tired and wanted to sleep forever.
After not receiving a response from me for a long time, Song Yafei squatted down again and brought her face close to mine.
"You've only been sick for a short time, so get up and eat quickly, otherwise your body won't be able to take it and you'll have to go back to the hospital."
When I opened my eyes, I saw Song Yafei with a gentle and tender face.
This is Song Yafei when we were deeply in love, unlike the cold and indifferent President Song we know now.
It really brings back fond memories!
I couldn't help but reach out and touch her face, but the moment I touched her cold skin, I instantly snapped back to reality.
Song Yafei looked at my behavior with some surprise, and was puzzled by it.
However, she didn't react, but just urged me, "Get up and eat something."
A pleasant voice, a gentle expression, and boundless patience.
Under this illusion, I did not refuse her, got up, and let her place the pillow behind me.
Song Yafei brought the chicken soup from the table to me, but I didn't have much of an appetite.
Looking at this familiar Song Yafei, I found I had so much to say.
It's another trap!
I refuse to succumb again.
I stared at Song Yafei and even sneered, "It's always like this! As soon as I mention leaving, you set up a sweet trap."
"Do you think that just because you throw me a bone, I'll wag my tail and beg for your mercy like a dog?"
Upon hearing this, Song Yafei frowned. The gentleness she had just felt seemed like an illusion, fleeting and ephemeral.
She put down the chicken soup in her hand, then turned to look at me, her eyes filled with sorrow. "You really want a divorce? You really want to leave me?"
In the past, I might have considered whether it would hurt her, but right now I can't care about anything.
I told her firmly, "Yes, I want a divorce. Can you just leave me alone? What's the point of continuing this if all we do is suffer? You're just taking advantage of my love for you!"
When Song Yafei heard me say I loved her, she clearly noticed a light shining in her eyes.
But it disappeared the next second after it was reborn, leaving only a sense of turmoil in one's eyes.
"If you love me, then stay by my side, just like before. I've thought about letting go of everything and starting over. We can still choose to start over, isn't that good?"
restart?
Perhaps she thought she should be moved to tears upon hearing those words, since she was willing to let go of the past.
But what did I do wrong?
It's just that I want to give my loved one the best.
How do I start over?
When your heart is completely broken, can it be pieced back together when you start over?
"No, that was before. I decided a long time ago that I didn't love you anymore."
In an instant, Song Yafei transformed from an angel into a devil. She incredulously grabbed my throat, her eyes filled with a look that seemed to threaten to snap my throat at any moment.
I quietly accepted it all.
My overly calm expression upset her.
She pushed me onto the bed without a second thought, pounced on me, and tore my clothes to shreds.
I refused to comply, clutching my torn clothes, vowing to die rather than submit.
He even made sarcastic remarks to provoke her, saying, "If you want to do this kind of thing, there are plenty of people offering themselves to you. Why do you have to cling to my wretched body?"
She stopped what she was doing abruptly, as if only then remembering that I wasn't feeling well.
Song Yafei got up, smoothed out her disheveled clothes, and combed her messy hair.
Just when I thought she would slam the door and leave in a fit of anger, she simply said calmly.
"You can leave me, but can the children in the orphanage leave me too?"
She threatened me with the orphanage again, but I couldn't just leave it unattended.
Hearing her words, I calmed down.
Yes, we can't confront them head-on.
Everything had to be done quietly.
Before leaving, I had to find a way out for the orphanage.
It will be available soon.
The design that Jiang Yi, Professor Xie, and I collaborated on at the last exhibition has already been bought by someone else, and we're just waiting to split the profits.
But all of this must be kept from her.
To distract her, I took out my phone and showed her the photos Yu Chengliang had sent me for the first time.
The moment Song Yafei saw it, she instantly lost her composure and immediately explained, "It's not what you think, back then we..."
I ignored all of her words and instead pointed to the painting in the corner.
Why did my parents' remains end up in Yu Chengliang's possession?
Seeing that I didn't care at all about her messy affair with Yu Chengliang and didn't want to hear her explanation, Song Yafei's expression turned somewhat unpleasant.
Without further explanation, he stated directly, "There were some issues along the way, but I can assure you that this painting will ultimately belong to you."
