Chapter 285 Reaching a Consensus
Chapter 285 Reaching a Consensus
Even though I cannot have a little Tian, I am deeply gratified that I can leave a trace of my bloodline in this world.
Of course, I'm also convincing myself day by day that if things get serious, it's not impossible for me to do it.
To my surprise, while I was struggling with this decision, Song Yafei came to my door so quickly.
She arrived at my hotel on the second night after returning to the city under lockdown.
I was in a video conference when there was a knock on the door.
"Wait a moment," I said to the managers in the video.
I went to open the door, and to my surprise, it was Song Yafei.
She quickly noticed that I didn't disturb the meeting much, but simply sat down on the sofa.
So I said goodbye to the manager who was in the meeting and then logged off.
Song Yafei had already taken off her high heels and was leaning against the sofa, propping her head up with her hand, looking exhausted.
I got up to pour her some water.
"Red wine, give me a glass of red wine."
I put down the glass I had just picked up, switched to a stemmed glass, poured her a glass of red wine, and handed it to her.
Unexpectedly, as soon as it was in her hands, she tilted her head back and drank it all in one gulp, then handed the cup to me.
"Another one, please."
Although I didn't know why she suddenly acted this way, I didn't hesitate and poured her another glass.
When I returned, Song Yafei opened the bag she had brought with her, took out two documents, and placed them on the coffee table.
She pointed to the things on the table, "Take a look?"
I had my doubts, but I still looked at them in the order she suggested. They were two agreements she had prepared, one of which was mine.
The terms in the agreement are completely contradictory; she's forcing me to choose.
I hesitated, not because of my determination to save the child, but because of what was about to happen between me and Song Yafei.
If there are other ways, I will do everything I can without her having to remind me.
Despite telling myself time and time again that this had happened between us many times before, and that we both knew the truth about it.
But just thinking about that time, and doing that kind of thing again, makes my body tremble and shudder.
I can't tell if it's fear or something else.
Can't tell.
Song Yafei seemed to be getting a little impatient. "Tell me, what is your choice?"
She suddenly turned her head and moved closer to me, only inches away. I couldn't help but take a step back.
He quickly got up, walked to the French windows, took a deep breath, and looked down at the bustling traffic and bright lights below.
"Is it in such a hurry? Give me two more days to think about it."
"Still need to consider?"
Song Yafei's tone became extremely impatient, as if I were seeing that person from the past.
Suddenly, she appeared in front of me, pushed me to the French windows, and the coldness in her eyes almost froze me.
"I thought you had changed, but your personality hasn't changed; you're still hesitant."
"Aren't we familiar enough with each other? And all of this is for the child, so what's bothering you?"
Yes, what am I being so conflicted about? It's all about saving the child.
Song Yafei and I have been together for over ten years. We know each other so well that we can't even be more familiar with each other. What is there to mind?
However, my mental illness has not fully recovered, and sometimes my resistance is beyond my control.
Suddenly, Song Yafei grabbed my chin, and her gaze towards me lost all warmth, becoming more like that of the powerful CEO Song in the business world.
"What are you hesitating for? Our marriage is solely for the sake of our child's medical treatment, and I've already given you two choices, haven't I?"
"If you have another child, you can leave with the child. Alternatively, you can remarry me, and we can raise two children together."
It seemed like she was giving me a choice, but the two paths laid out in front of me left me with no choice at all.
I am absolutely unwilling to remarry her.
But if we don't remarry and save Xiao Xiaotian, I will abandon him and let him become a child without a father.
This is not what I want.
"Is there no room for negotiation? Perhaps we have other ways."
After hearing me say that, Song Yafei released me and sneered, "Of course I have other methods, and I can wait, but can the child wait?"
“I never like to put my fate in uncertain situations. If you are willing to fulfill your responsibilities as a father, hurry up and sign the agreement.”
She suddenly looked up at me and said, "I thought you were different from before, but you haven't changed. For example, your personality is still the same—you're still indecisive."
Upon hearing her accusation, my emotions rushed straight to my head.
I grabbed her wrist and flung her against the French windows, then pressed myself against her.
My tone was no longer gentle; we were like two fighting tigers, locked in a fierce confrontation.
"Don't make sarcastic remarks to me."
"You may think I've had a great time these past few years, but the results haven't been as good as you imagined."
“My depression is so severe that you can’t even imagine. Even now, I have to take medication to fall asleep.”
"Perhaps I need to keep eating, and the psychological trauma may take a lifetime to heal."
"I'm not afraid to tell you, I want to get away from you, and I don't even want to see you again. I finally found my family, and now you've come knocking on my door again."
"I agreed to cooperate with you because of the circumstances, but I don't want to have anything to do with you anymore."
A flicker of pain crossed Song Yafei's eyes, her face filled with remorse. "I'm sorry, I..."
I shook off her hand, didn't listen to her continue, took one of the contracts, signed my name without hesitation, and slammed it heavily on the desk.
“I never meant to refuse to save Xiao Xiaotian. Since you brought the contract today, it means we have reached a consensus.”
"It's just a matter of having a child to save Xiao Xiaotian; there's no other connection between us."
Song Yafei opened her mouth as if to say something, but I didn't give her a chance. I walked over and picked her up, carrying her to the room amidst her gasp.
I threw her on the bed and then pounced on her.
Everything fell into place so naturally, and Song Yafei went from being uncooperative to being proactive.
She seemed to have not forgotten my body, easily arousing my emotions and escalating the ambiguous atmosphere in the room.
Everything was proceeding as expected, yet it seemed to be spiraling out of control. In each passionate kiss, we seemed to lose ourselves.
Like a sailboat on the sea, the only thing you can possess and embrace is each other.
We tried with all our might to grasp at the last vestige of salvation.
That night, we didn't even sleep, and we didn't know what we did to each other. We just hoped that after each union, we could successfully conceive a new life.
But we also know that this is only the first time, not the last.
We didn't fall asleep until the sky began to lighten.
