Chapter 108 Apology
Chapter 108 Apology
I ran downstairs and stood at the bottom of the stairs, not even having had time to put on my coat.
I saw Song Yafei standing at the bottom of the stairs, looking up at me with a warm and gentle gaze, her lips slightly upturned.
This scene reminded me of the past.
Every time Song Yafei waited downstairs, she would look at me like this, quietly waiting, with tender affection.
I suppressed my emotions and came downstairs, but my steps were out of control and so fast.
Standing in front of her, staring at her, I felt a mix of emotions and was momentarily speechless.
Song Yafei smiled and said, "I'm back."
I just nodded silently, and then realized what was happening and put my coat on.
Thinking that Assistant Luo and the others were still out looking for someone, I took out my phone and called him.
"Assistant Luo, President Song is back."
As soon as I hung up the phone, Aunt Lin brought out the food and took care of us in the dining room. "Sir and Madam, come and eat. The food is freshly made."
Song Yafei and I looked at each other, somewhat at a loss for words. Neither of us knew what to say, and we felt as if there was something blocking our way.
I didn't bring it up, and Song Yafei didn't mention it either.
Song Yafei rubbed her stomach as she walked towards the restaurant, saying, "I've been missing Aunt Lin's cooking these past few days."
I followed closely behind, after all, I hadn't eaten much today and was starving.
It's just that Song Yafei wasn't back yet, so I didn't have time to think about it.
Song Yafei and I ate our meal in silence. She seemed really hungry, and she wolfed down her food.
Not long after the meal, Assistant Luo returned, looking travel-worn.
His face beamed with undisguised joy, and upon seeing Song Yafei, he reverted to being the shrewd and capable Assistant Luo.
"President Song." He approached Song Yafei.
His sincerity is rare.
Song Yafei agreed and pointed to the chair next to her, "Sit down and eat."
At first, Assistant Luo refused, but I asked Aunt Lin to bring over some bowls and chopsticks, saying, "Sit down and have something to eat; you've had a long day."
Only then did Assistant Luo gladly accept our invitation.
After dinner, Assistant Luo discussed the cooperation with Song Yafei for tomorrow.
I didn't disturb them and went upstairs.
My mood swings today took a toll on my energy, so I quickly took a shower and went to bed.
Even as I lay in bed, I was still shaken.
I still vividly remember the worry I felt when I couldn't find Song Yafei.
This makes me unsure how to leave her.
Now that she knows the truth, she won't be so conflicted, right?
But how should I conduct myself in the future?
What kind of relationship should we continue to have?
All of this surrounds us, leaving us feeling lost and disoriented.
She used to take revenge on me and treat me cruelly. Now that she knows the truth, how will she face me?
All problems are like a ball of yarn that can't be untangled.
As I was thinking, I don't know when I drifted off to sleep.
Then I felt a hand on my waist, gently, and a soft body leaned against me from behind.
The familiar scent suddenly became less resistant.
I knew it was Song Yafei; she was trying to win me over.
Even now, I haven't changed my mind about leaving her.
But I also worry about how Song Yafei will survive in this state.
“I know you’re not asleep.” Song Yafei’s soft, husky voice sounded from behind.
She was pressed close to me.
I didn't struggle and let her hold me.
After a long silence, Song Yafei whispered behind me. I listened carefully, and it was an apology.
I opened my mouth to try to say something, but in the end, anything I said would be futile.
Then I felt a chill down my back; my clothes were soaked with tears.
I froze, my body stiffened, my feelings a mix of heartache and indifference, a desire to ignore it.
In all these years of marriage, Song Yafei has never shed a tear in front of me.
The last time I saw her cry was the year we broke up.
This breaks my heart.
This is the girl I truly loved and cherished in the past.
I wanted to say something, but it seemed like nothing I said would make a difference.
When I tried to turn around, Song Yafei hugged me tightly and stopped me.
"I'm sorry, I didn't know you made such a big sacrifice for me, but I didn't know anything and I misunderstood you all along."
I just listened without responding.
After all, her actions and the harm she has caused me over the years are undeniable facts.
It has come to this point; the reason I was unwilling to tell the truth back then was because I was afraid of this day.
But that day still came.
In the end, he couldn't bear it, so he turned around to look at the person in his arms. The room was dimly lit, and he couldn't see her face clearly.
But I could feel that she was looking at me too, her gaze piercing.
Song Yafei's soft voice was tinged with sobs, "Ah Tian, can you forgive me? So many things have happened over the years, and you've kept it all to yourself. It must have been so hard for you. Is it too much to ask for your forgiveness?"
That's really going too far.
How can someone be forgiven overnight?
I looked down at the person in my arms, but the grievances of the past years lingered in my heart, and it was impossible to forgive them.
Just like before, Song Yafei nestled her soft, alluring body into my arms.
In the past, whenever she upset me, she would always act cute like this, and then the matter would be dropped.
I'm happy with this too; it's a little bit of fun for us.
She still remembers.
But right now, I still can't let it go.
Song Yafei said gently, "I will definitely make it up to you."
compensate?
What kind of compensation?
Are they truckloads of clothes?
Or is it precious jewelry?
Unfortunately, I never valued these things.
I didn't want her to bother me anymore, so I reassured her, "This is all in the past, there's nothing more to say. It's just that I can't bring myself to forgive her, after all these years..."
Song Yafei raised her hand and covered my mouth, preventing me from continuing.
She probably guessed what I was going to say next, and just held me tightly.
She repeatedly assured me, "Just this once, just this once! I'll never make you sad again! Please forgive me this once, okay?"
But I've given you way too many chances, and each time, all you've gotten is disappointment.
I couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness.
"Song Yafei, belated affection is worthless! You only think of making amends after you've lost it, but people's hearts are dead. Even if you try to patch it up, there will still be holes, and it will still leak. Why bother persisting?"
But my words didn't seem to convince her.
She stubbornly said, "No! No way! I don't want to! I can't be separated from you! You can't leave! Watch how I behave from now on, okay? I promise I'll never make you sad again."
later?
I don't even know how much time is left.
I don't even know if she will still act the same way as before when Yu Chengliang appears.
I don't want to gamble, and I don't dare to.
