Chapter 294 Her Biggest Doubt
Chapter 294 Her Biggest Doubt
After Xiaoxiaotian fell asleep that night, I went back to my own bedroom.
After washing up in the bathroom, I came out and just as I untied my bathrobe, I saw Song Yafei sitting on the edge of the bed.
Upon seeing me, she immediately got up, opened the wardrobe, and took out clean pajamas.
Song Yafei's sudden attentiveness surprised me.
As she was about to take off my bathrobe and put on my pajamas, I grabbed her hand, but she was stubborn, and in the end she took off my bathrobe.
While helping me put on my pajamas, she even reported her whereabouts to me.
"I only had two drinks at today's social gathering, and there were no unruly people around. I didn't have any unusual smell on me, so you can rest assured."
I don't know what she meant by suddenly telling me all this.
Is it so that things will fall into place naturally later, or is it so that I won't feel offended?
After I put on my pajamas, she suddenly hugged my waist and told me...
"Today I personally issued Yu Zhe a letter of termination. He will never appear in any of Song's companies again, nor will he ever appear in front of you to bother you again."
I didn't expect her to do it anyway.
This is indeed the most thorough solution.
However, I didn't actually intend to eliminate them completely. But now that I'm in a high position, I can understand Song Yafei's reasons for doing so.
So I didn't interfere with her decision.
But I was genuinely surprised that she suddenly reported her whereabouts to me, and I wasn't as happy as she had imagined.
Moreover, I felt some resistance to her sudden change.
"You don't need to tell me all this. Don't forget we're not a real couple. We don't need to know so much about each other. We just need to cooperate with each other."
The only thing we should do is cooperate to have a child.
I told myself that.
The atmosphere instantly froze. I knew I had embarrassed Song Yafei, even though she had her head down and I couldn't see her emotions.
But I can also imagine her feeling disappointed and wanting to have a meltdown.
When she looked up, she had an expression that said nothing had happened.
I ignored her, removed her hand from my waist, lifted the blanket, and got into bed to rest.
"Go to bed early tonight, I'm tired. We can talk about it later."
But at this moment, Song Yafei seemed like a different person. She ignored my rejection and even sat on the bed with me.
She even told me something else with some delight.
"You know what? I saw Han Nian today, and there was a man with her. The two of them were acting very intimately."
As she spoke, her hand wrapped around my arm, and we got very close.
"You know I mind your relationship with Han Nian, so why do you never explain it to me, even though you know I'll misunderstand?"
Unexpectedly, Han Nian and Yue Ming also returned to Fengcheng.
I looked at Song Yafei, chuckled softly, my laughter full of sarcasm.
"An explanation? Have you heard my explanation? Have you believed it? Would you believe it if I told you?"
In an instant, Song Yafei's expression cracked, and it became difficult for her to maintain a faint smile.
"sorry."
I gasped for breath. Song Yafei had really changed. When did she become someone who liked to apologize?
The next second I heard her say, "You can't deny that the reason you don't want to clarify things with me is actually to stop me from getting closer to you, to prevent me from keeping you by my side, right?"
So Song Yafei actually understands me; you can see she can easily guess what I'm thinking.
But she never wanted to admit that many of the things I did weren't for any particular reason; they were simply to leave her.
She just couldn't accept it.
I don't want to talk to her about these things anymore, because I've said them too many times before, but she never believed me.
I pulled my arm back, picked up the blanket, and said, "Go and rest. I've been playing with Xiaoxiaotian all day, and I'm really tired."
At first, Song Yafei didn't seem to have any intention of letting me go. As soon as I lay down, she turned around and sat down in front of me again.
I didn't get up, I just looked at her, wondering what she wanted to do.
After much hesitation, Song Yafei finally asked the question that had been troubling her the most.
"Zhang Tian, are you really willing to stay this time simply to have a child with me and save Xiao Xiaotian?"
I knew it; even when things are explained clearly, she'll still misunderstand them.
Sometimes people really only want to believe what they want.
I felt it necessary to reiterate to her why I had stayed.
I sat up, raised my hand, and confessed to her very solemnly.
"If I misunderstood you before, let me clarify now: I will choose to stay simply to save Xiao Xiaotian, nothing else."
"Everything I said is true, I have no other intentions, okay? Do you believe me now?"
I don't know whether she believed it or not.
But I watched as her face turned ashen, growing increasingly grim, and then she left my room without saying a word.
I sighed and looked at the doorway where she left, feeling a mix of emotions I couldn't quite describe.
I know that my bluntness might upset her, but wasn't this something we agreed on from the beginning?
She was overthinking things, which only caused her more trouble.
It's better to make things clear as soon as possible, so she can face reality and stop having any other illusions.
Otherwise, it might cause a lot of trouble in the future.
Right now, aside from the responsibilities we have to fulfill, we are simply Xiao Xiaotian's parents.
I shook off the unnecessary thoughts in my mind and lay back down on the bed.
Taking care of a child is really tiring. I thought tonight's events would keep me awake, but I fell asleep without even realizing it.
The next day, probably because of what I had said the night before, Song Yafei's attitude was noticeably colder when she saw me again.
Aunt Lin also noticed the awkwardness between us and even tried to persuade me after Song Yafei left.
She advised me to give Song Yuefei another chance, telling me that she felt Song Yafei had changed a lot since she came back this time.
They also advised me to try to get back together with Song Yafei so that Xiaoxiaotian could have a complete family.
Actually, I can sense the change in Song Yafei that Aunt Lin mentioned, but wasn't she the same before?
She changes after each time.
However, when the same thing happens again, her previous attitude and changes will revert to the way they were before.
History repeats itself time and time again, making me realize how ridiculous my compromises are.
So when Aunt Lin said that, I sensed it too, but I still don't believe she's really changed.
But from that day on, Song Yafei seemed to have fewer things to do and spent more time at home.
It's unclear whether it was intentional on her part or something else.
But she can be by Xiaoxiaotian's side, and the child is happy, so am I.
……
That day, not long after Song Yafei went to the company, Xiaoxiaotian, after eating his baby food, pulled me and pointed outside.
Although he can't say it, I know he wants to go out and have fun.
