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

Chapter 306 Hesitation

Although there are still some gaps, at least they have begun to try to understand each other.

That afternoon, I went to buy the pudding that Xiao Xiaotian wanted to eat.

When I returned, I overheard Song Yafei and Mr. Song's conversation.

"Dad, do you think... there's still a chance for me and A-Tian?"

My steps faltered.

"That depends on you."

Mr. Song said, "But I think he still has feelings for you and Xiao Xiaotian."

"But……"

"Don't rush."

"Give him time, and give yourself time too."

I walked away quietly, not wanting to disturb them.

But my heart began to waver.

Is it really possible to go back to the way things were?

From that day on, I began to deliberately avoid opportunities to be alone with Song Yafei.

It's not that I don't want to face it, it's that I'm afraid to face it.

I was afraid to see the expectant look in her eyes, afraid that my heart would waver again.

However, when it comes to taking care of Xiaoxiaotian, we still have to see each other frequently.

That day, the doctor said that Xiao Xiaotian could be transferred to a regular ward.

"All indicators are very stable."

"The recovery is going very well."

We were all very happy to hear this news.

Little Tian was overjoyed, waving his arms and legs, exclaiming, "Finally, we don't have to talk through the glass anymore!"

Seeing his lively demeanor, Song Yafei and I both smiled.

After being transferred to a regular ward, we can take turns accompanying them.

However, Song Yafei insisted on staying at the hospital every day, saying she couldn't rest easy about it.

I know she missed out on Xiaoxiaotian's growth before and now wants to make up for it.

That night it was my turn to be on duty, but Song Yafei lingered and refused to leave.

"Go back and rest."

"I have to go to work tomorrow."

She shook her head. "I'm not tired."

"Yafei".

I said helplessly, "You'll collapse from exhaustion if you keep going like this."

She looked at me. "Are you worried about me?"

I was stunned for a moment, unsure how to answer.

At this moment, Xiao Xiaotian suddenly said, "Mom, just listen to Dad."

Song Yafei smiled, "Okay, then Mom will go back and rest."

Before leaving, she glanced at me hesitantly.

I pretended not to see it and turned around to tidy up Xiaoxiaotian's bed.

After she left, Xiao Xiaotian suddenly said, "Dad, do you not like Mom anymore?"

I paused in my work. "Why do you ask that?"

"because……"

He tilted his head and said, "You hardly ever talk to Mom."

"Go to sleep."

"I have to do a check-up tomorrow."

Just then, my phone rang.

It was a message from Lin Qiuran: What are you really thinking?

I replied: What do you mean, what do you think?

He said: "Don't pretend you're confused. It's about Song Yafei."

I didn't reply to him.

A while later, he sent another message: Can you really let go?

Looking at my sleeping little Tian, ​​I felt a surge of irritation.

Can you let it go?

To be honest, I don't know either.

Spending this time together has made my feelings for Song Yafei very complicated.

Do I hate it? Maybe a little.

But more than anything, it's an emotion that's hard to explain.

Seeing her concern for Xiaoxiaotian and her efforts to change, my heart wavered time and time again.

But when I think of the hurt I've caused in the past, I don't dare to forgive so easily.

Just as I was thinking about it, the phone rang again.

This time it was sent by Song Yafei: Ah Tian, ​​is Xiao Xiao Tian asleep?

I replied: I'm asleep.

She: I brought you some late-night snacks, they're downstairs.

Me: No need, I'm not hungry.

She was silent for a while, then sent another message: Ah Tian, ​​can we talk?

I stared at the message for a long time without replying.

In the end, I simply replied: Get some rest.

I put down my phone and walked to the window.

The hospital was exceptionally quiet at night.

I know what Song Yafei wants to say, but I'm not ready yet.

Or rather, I don't know how to approach her.

Just then, the door to the ward was gently pushed open.

It's Song Yafei.

She still came.

"I said I don't need it..."

“Ah Tian.”

Why are you avoiding me?

I turned away, avoiding her eyes.

"I wasn't hiding from you."

"You have."

She took a step closer. "You've been avoiding me all this time."

I remained silent.

"It's because..."

She bit her lip. "Do you hate me?"

"I don't hate you."

"why?"

I took a deep breath. "Yafei, some things aren't so easy to let go of."

"I know."

"But I have really changed. I want to start over."

I looked at her. "Are you sure? Have you really changed?"

She was stunned.

"Do you remember you said you wanted to change? And what happened?"

I gave a wry smile. "It's always the same."

"This time is different..."

"What's different?"

I interrupted her, "Because of Xiao Xiaotian? Because you know the truth?"

"But Yafi, the damage has already been done."

"Some things cannot be changed just by saying so."

Tears streamed down her face. "Then what should I do? Tell me, how can I prove it to you?"

Seeing her crying, my heart suddenly ached.

But reason tells me I can't be soft-hearted.

"Go and rest."

"Little Tian still needs our care."

She wiped away her tears and nodded.

"I see."

I won't force you anymore.

"But Ah Tian, ​​I will wait. Until the day you are willing to accept me again."

After saying that, she turned and left the ward.

As I watched her retreating figure, I felt a mix of emotions.

What should we do next?

Watching Song Yafei's departing figure, I stood by the window for a long time, unable to calm down.

Moonlight streamed in through the window, casting dappled shadows on the floor.

My thoughts rose and fell with the light and shadow.

Looking back on the events of these past years is like watching a dramatic movie playing in my mind.

From initial love to later betrayal, and now to the entanglement.

Little Tian turned over in his sleep, making a slight noise.

I went to the bedside and tucked him in.

Looking at his sleeping face, I suddenly understood why I was so shaken this time.

It's not just because of Song Yafei's change, but more because of this child.

He was like a link connecting us, forcing me to re-examine our relationship.

I took out my phone and saw that Lin Qiuran had sent me several more messages:

"God, I know what you're hesitating about."

"But people always have to look forward."

"If you believe she has truly changed, why not give each other a chance?"

I shook my head with a wry smile. If only things were that simple.

In truth, I understand Lin Qiuran's meaning perfectly well.

During our time together, I have indeed felt a change in Song Yafei.

She was no longer the aloof and self-willed heiress of the Song family, but a mother who cared about her children and reflected on her own mistakes.

But can the wound really heal?

I remember her suspicions about me back then, her questioning gaze, and her hurtful words.
