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

Chapter 196 Trading

This has always been the case, whether in business or elsewhere.

I didn't mince words either, "What do you want this time?"

She knew perfectly well that I was desperate to find this information, but she waited for me to fall into her trap like a hunter, all for the sake of making a deal.

Even knowing that what awaited me was a deal I couldn't refuse, I had no choice but to do it.

I don't care what it takes to protect the hospital director.

Song Yafei put down what she was holding, stood up, draped a blanket over herself, and walked towards me, looking down at me.

"Zhang Tian, ​​I'm a businessman. I don't make money by selling things to you. Now that you've taken this information, how do you plan to return it?"

Her hand climbed onto my arm, and she seduced me with her slightly nasal voice, "You should know what I want."

I think I should know.

What she wanted was the Zhang Tian of the past, someone who would stay by her side without complaint or any other thoughts.

Zhang Tian was solely devoted to her, his heart and eyes only for her.

Instead of being filled with my own ideas and career as I am now.

But the past is like a painful memory etched into my bones; whenever I think of it, my body trembles uncontrollably.

The pain was so intense that it almost suffocated me.

But then I thought of the headmistress!

I jerked my head up, clenched my fists to control my body, and tried to remain calm.

Just as Song Yafei raised an eyebrow in boredom and was about to turn away, I suddenly stood up, grabbed her hand, and pulled her into my arms.

At that moment, we were pressed tightly together. She tilted her head slightly and looked at me, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.

But I don't know what she saw in my eyes, because that surprise quickly disappeared.

It was probably erased by the despair I saw in it.

I grabbed her chin and moved closer little by little. Her red lips were right in front of me, but I had to suppress myself to control my body, which wanted to escape.

My body was trembling involuntarily, and I think Song Yafei felt it too.

Just as my lips were about to touch hers, she pressed her fingers against my lips and said coolly, "You don't need to force yourself, and I have a cold."

Hearing her words, I felt a sudden, overwhelming sense of relief.

Song Yafei pushed me away and wrapped the blanket around herself tighter.

“I know what happened in the past has left a bad impression on you, but that’s okay. I won’t force you until you’re ready.”

I don't know if she's telling the truth, but at least for now, I really can't continue.

Song Yafei turned and walked towards the floor-to-ceiling window in front of me. Not getting a definite answer from her, I became a little anxious and followed closely behind.

I didn't expect her to turn around suddenly. Before I could react, I instinctively wrapped my arms around her waist.

Song Yafei tiptoed up to me and moved closer, and my body froze instantly.

She clearly said just now that she wouldn't force anyone.

Women's mouths are truly deceitful!

Her lips were getting closer and closer to mine.

I told myself that even if she tried to kiss me, I had to restrain myself.

Not wanting her to suddenly change her route, she leaned close to my ear and whispered.

"My condition for this deal is that you give me a chance to compensate you, how about it?"

I was stunned.

She had said this before, but I always felt it was vague and just empty talk. I never expected that she would actually use this incident to seek a chance for compensation.

For a moment, I was in a dilemma.

After all, it seems that I'm the one who ultimately benefits from this situation, both emotionally and logically.

Before I could sort things out, I was very confused and didn't know how to answer or choose.

I don't even quite understand why Song Yafei did this.

Is it really just to compensate me?

But what exactly is compensation?

We are divorced now, and I never thought I would have anything to do with her again.

But I can't refuse, can I?

However, when she mentioned compensation, I made my position very clear to her.

"The conditions you've set seem to leave me no reason to refuse. But I don't know what your purpose is in doing this. I can only tell you that my heart is already dead."

"No matter what you do, it can't come back to life! And I never thought we would make up."

"If you are still willing after knowing this outcome, then I will have no choice but to accept it."

Is your heart dead?

Song Yafei and I looked at each other, our eyes meeting, and we could see that the emotions between us were too complicated.

Neither she nor I are as innocent as we used to be.

In the end, I gave in and avoided her gaze.

Song Yafei grabbed my wrist, refusing to accept it, and wouldn't let me refuse.

"If the heart is dead, then let it come back to life and live for me!"

Can they come back to life?

My face was contorted with pain as I looked at Song Yafei. In her eyes, I saw my own unbearable despair.

"To come back to life? Do you have any ideas? You can teach me."

"The past is like a sharp knife, shattering my heart. Can you piece it back together?"

Song Yafei's complexion wasn't much better; she was just putting on a brave face.

She still held my hand tightly, pressing it against her heart, and told me with great determination.

"Here, there has only ever been one you, remember that? There has never been anyone else. Whoever it is, they are just tools."

is it?

She said this many times.

But what should we do?

I just can't forget those sad nights, seeing her flirting with other men.

All the memories, like a surging tide, crash against me, making it impossible for me to forget.

I tried to pull my hand away, but Song Yafei moved to place my hand on her chest, then stood on tiptoe and hugged my neck.

He kissed me fiercely.

I couldn't respond, and I could only force myself to stay calm and resist the urge to push her away.

She suddenly pushed me down onto the bed, threw off the blanket, and moved closer to me, step by step, until she sat on me, her hands igniting a fire in my chest.

But aside from my resistance to her, my body didn't seem to react.

Song Yafei realized it too, and finally collapsed dejectedly beside me, pressing against my chest, and whispered.

"Fine, I'm not going to argue with you anymore. Lie down with me for a while."

She suddenly softened, no longer as forceful as before.

I find it hard to adapt to either one.

I can't say for sure whether it's because I can't adapt or because I don't want to.

But I left her lying next to me, resting her head on my arm, without moving.

I waited until her breathing became more even before I spoke, "So, can you give me the information now?"

She didn't give me a definite answer, which left me feeling uncertain and anxious.
