Chapter 207 Revisiting the Child Chapter Title
Song Yafei let out a low growl that was both painful and pleasurable, and even reached out to hug my neck.
She leaned close to my ear and whispered, "I'm sorry, I can't wait that long! I'm so scared, I'm scared of losing you, and even more scared that you don't love me."
I could even feel her body trembling slightly.
Is it too late to say these things now?
What's the point of talking about this after we're divorced?
There's no going back, is there?
……
Afterwards, we lay flat on the bed, panting heavily, still feeling somewhat unsatisfied.
I just didn't want Song Yafei to see how dependent I was on her, and I didn't want to give her any chance to humiliate me.
I got up to go to the bathroom to wash up, but I couldn't help asking her, "Do you want me to carry you to clean you up?"
Song Yafei looked up at me, her eyes holding a strange expression.
I didn't understand at first, but later in the bathroom, I think I understood.
Before we got divorced, no matter how bad things got between us, I would always take her to wash up afterwards so she could get a comfortable sleep.
But things are different now.
My question to her may have made Song Yafei realize that I didn't really want to do it.
When I realized it, I felt a mixture of regret and pride.
If this makes Song Yafei feel a difference, at least it won't make her feel that I'm still the same as before, that I can't live without her.
When I came out of the bathroom, Song Yafei was gone, and what I saw was a mess on the bed.
Some things seem to have changed, yet some things seem to remain the same.
For example, in the scene before us, we are still as intense as before, and this seems to have never changed.
Whether it was driven by lust or simply a release, no one can say for sure.
At least I don't know what she was thinking.
But now, I'm no longer bothered by it.
It's just a transaction. I got what I wanted, so I should give her what she wants in return.
Pull the dirty clothes off the bed and throw them into the laundry basket in the bathroom.
Song Yafei reappeared, now dressed in a smart suit.
Today she wore a white fitted suit, and her long, black hair was still tied up, making her look very capable.
She handed me a new set of clothes, saying, "Change into this, come down for breakfast. I'm taking you to the hospital to see Lin Qiuran."
After breakfast, the driver took me and Song Yafei towards the hospital.
On the way, my thoughts were in disarray. I stared out the car window without saying a word, appearing overly indifferent.
Song Yafei sighed helplessly and said slowly, "I know that in your eyes, getting back together with me is just a transaction."
"As I said yesterday, I used methods to bring you back to my side because I love you. I don't just want a man who agrees with me; I want a real husband."
As she spoke, she slipped her hand into mine, her eyes fixed on me, sincere and trustworthy.
Looking into his eyes, I couldn't help but sink into an endless abyss.
A voice inside him screamed for belief, and his grip tightened, tightening his hold on her hand.
Song Yafei smiled with satisfaction, and she even brought up the child again.
She held my arm, dreaming of us having a complete family.
“You’ve always said you wanted a child, and if you still want one now, I’m willing to have one of our children.”

My body is stiff.
Her words reminded me of my own body.
That's right.
I do love children very much because what I've longed for since I was a child is a complete family, with children, my wife and me, and a happy life.
But with only a few years left of my life, what right do I have to have children?
What can I offer my child after we have him/her?
Such pessimistic thinking forced me to refuse.
But what was her intention in suddenly proposing to have a child at this time?
I couldn't help but think that she wanted to have a child so that she could keep me by her side.
Even if it's just a transaction between us now, I can't be this selfish.
"Before, when you wanted to have children, you always said your career wasn't successful enough. Why are you suddenly interested in children?"
But this time Song Yafei didn't answer me. She just repeatedly expressed her desire to have a child.
I don't seem to have the right to refuse because of myself.
I just came up with a better excuse for her.
"Your project has only just started. If you have a child now, will the project be stable? Or should we wait until things are settled?"
An important project can take a long time, sometimes even several years.
Maybe when she gets busy she won't remember me anymore, or even the idea of having a child.
If it takes longer, by the time she remembers, I may no longer be in this world.
Song Yafei didn't show any displeasure at my excuse; she even stroked her belly with a hint of longing.
What would it be like to have a child growing here?
"If we had children, I wonder what kind of parents we would be? Would we be very strict? Or extremely dogmatic?"
I don't know what kind of mother she will become, and we may not even have children.
If we have this child, perhaps we will never be able to completely sever ties again.
The car stopped at the hospital entrance. After I got out, Song Yafei went straight to the company.
I arrived at Lin Qiuran's ward. The bodyguards and nurse Xu at the door were very dedicated. Apart from them, I didn't see anyone else.
There's been no news from Hu Mei for the past two days. She's become very busy since I decided to get back together with Song Yafei.
Maybe they're avoiding me.
Xu, the caregiver, told me about Lin Qiuran's condition over the past two days and also informed me.
"Mr. Zhang, the doctor said it's within the next couple of days. If Mr. Lin doesn't wake up by then, I'm afraid..."
I'm afraid he'll never wake up again.
Xu, the caregiver, couldn't bear to say this cruel truth, but I knew it in my heart.
There are two days left in the week.
After giving her instructions, the caregiver, Xu, said to me, "Mr. Zhang, I'm going to fetch some water."
I nodded and started learning.
After the caregiver left, she closed the ward door again. I moved a chair over and sat down by Lin Qiuran's bedside to tell him the good news from yesterday.
"Qiu Ran, I've avenged you. I taught the Dong family a lesson they were like grandsons. Are you happy?"
"From now on, that Miss Dong will never bother you again. You can finally live peacefully with Wu Qian and the child, and no one will disturb you anymore."
"I've taken care of everything. You've had enough rest these past few days, so wake up, okay?"
As I said this, I choked up a little because of the hurt Lin Qiuran had suffered and his distress.
And as far as I know, the only things he cares about right now are Wu Qian and the child.
