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

Chapter 253 Chasing After Them to the Airport

That's it?

I didn't understand what she meant, but it seemed like I did.

But whether you understand it or not doesn't really matter.

I didn't continue the conversation, but at the intersection, Song Yafei suddenly reminded the driver to turn left.

Her villa is clearly on the right.

However, it's possible they might go to another apartment.

So I didn't interrupt.

But when the car stopped at the orphanage, I turned around and looked at Song Yafei with some surprise.

She explained, "I have bought the orphanage and preserved it as it was, only reinforcing some parts."

I nodded, understanding her intentions, but not wanting to get too involved, so I didn't ask any further questions.

Besides, things have come to this point, so what's the point of doing anything more?

The headmistress is no longer here, and the children of the orphanage have been properly taken care of.

As for this orphanage, I no longer care.

As Song Yafei pushed open the car door to get out, she suddenly asked me, "Should we get out and go take a look?"

I declined, saying, "No, it's too late, and I have a lot of things to take care of at the restaurant."

"Ok."

Song Yafei gripped the car door and stared at me for a full twenty seconds, as if waiting for me to change my mind.

But he never did until he left me.

My two meetings with Song Yafei made me want to leave as soon as possible.

Even though I act perfectly normal in front of her, I have to admit that I still feel incredibly anxious when I'm alone with her.

I can't say whether it's the fear stemming from past events or some other reason, but I don't want to stay in the lockdown for even a second longer.

If the restaurant issue hadn't been unresolved, I probably would have left the next day.

I stayed in the lockdown for another ten days or so, and I would occasionally receive invitations to banquets and run into Song Yafei.

However, I always just gave a perfunctory greeting and didn't pay much attention to it.

Although I occasionally make eye contact with her when I turn around, I always act as if nothing has happened.

About forty days after returning to the city, things were finally settled, and the next day I bought a plane ticket back to Hancheng.

What surprised me was that Song Yafei actually chased after me to the airport.

I received a call from Xiaoyingtao while I was waiting in the VIP lounge at the airport.

The little girl's sweet voice came through the phone.

"Dad Zhang, when are you coming back? Is there a friend who's even better than Little Cherry clinging to you and not letting you come back?"

It's said that women are suspicious and prone to jealousy, and even a little girl like Little Cherry is no exception.

"We're heading back now. I'll see my baby in just a few hours."

Who is your baby?

The voice wasn't coming from the microphone; when I turned my head to look in the direction of the sound, I saw Song Yafei.

Her cheeks were slightly flushed, her forehead was still damp with sweat, and her meticulously styled hair was disheveled.

They looked like they rushed over.

"I'm hanging up now."

After I hung up the phone, the VIP room, which was originally full of people, was now empty except for me and Song Yafei.

I forgot that she always liked to clear the area.

I put my phone away and hesitated for a moment before saying anything.

I don't know if she rushed over for me or for something else.

I can't just assume I'm being presumptuous, lest it cause a misunderstanding.

Being stared at like that, I couldn't just stay silent.

After thinking it over, I asked her, "Are you also going on a business trip?"

But this time, Song Yafei just stared intently at me, and gave irrelevant answers.

Where are you going?

Judging from her words, it seemed like she came specifically for me.

However, I didn't like Song Yafei's words and attitude, but to avoid further conflict, I didn't show my dissatisfaction.

"The restaurant business is all settled, so of course I'm going back to Hancheng. That's my home."

Song Yafei's face was cold, and after hearing my words, her expression became even more gloomy.

"Hancheng is your home, but what about Fengcheng? Is there nothing about Fengcheng that you miss?"

Her repeated transgressions made me very uncomfortable, and my expression inevitably became less gentle.

She seemed to realize that her attitude was wrong, and quickly composed herself.

"What I mean is, why didn't you say anything before leaving the city? It's not easy for you to come back."

I forced a smile.

"Mr. Song seems to have forgotten that we are a divorced couple, and we may not even be considered friends. We are free to come and go as we please, and we do not need to explain ourselves to anyone."

"That's not what I meant, I just..."

Song Yafei hesitated, then stopped speaking, only staring at me with lingering reluctance.

Even if she didn't say it, I could probably understand what she meant.

But I also hope she understands that there is no longer any connection between us.

The announcement came over the loudspeaker about boarding for my flight.

Without any hesitation, I picked up the two suitcases I was carrying and stopped in front of Song Yafei.

Even though we have no relationship now, I still hope you're doing well. You should look forward.

"Song Yafei, take care!"

After saying that, I pulled my suitcase without further hesitation and walked past her.

But when I got to the door, Song Yafei couldn't help but call out to me.

"Zhang Tian, ​​take care too!"

I heard what she said, but I didn't stop.

Even two days after returning to the city under lockdown, I still occasionally think about Song Yafei's expression at the airport that day.

I can't suppress an emotion in my heart that makes me uneasy and unable to let go.

What are you thinking about?

I was in the restaurant's office when Han Nian opened the door and came in. She only called out to me when she realized I hadn't even noticed her presence.

I snapped out of my daze, looked at her and smiled, "Just got back from a business trip, and you have so much free time? Did you come to see me for something?"

Han Nian didn't stand on ceremony with me. "There's something I need your help with. There's an auction tomorrow, and I hope you can come with me."

"Just for this?"

She called me before she arrived.

If it's just about this, Mingming could have explained it clearly over the phone.

Why do we have to say it face to face?

There must be an even more important reason.

Han Nian put down her bag, took off her gloves, pushed her sunglasses up on her head, and looked smug.

"Of course not, I came here specifically to see if you and President Song have rekindled your romance after your trip back!"

"It seems you're not as resolute as you claim."

She teased me like that probably because I was distracted earlier.

Han Nian's eyes were fixed on me, scrutinizing me with a half-smile.

Perhaps she also noticed some of my ulterior motives.

I put away the ledger in my hand and stuffed it into the drawer. "Stop teasing me! Tell me, what are you going to buy at the auction tomorrow to give to Yue Ming?"

"Boring."

"It seems I guessed right."

"Yes, yes, you're the smartest, so do you want to come with me tomorrow? You know Yue Ming's preferences best."
