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

Chapter 55 The Masked Couple

I knew she wouldn't believe me.

So I don't want her to see it, because if she does, it would be like a desecration of our past relationship.

Seeing that I didn't speak, she pressed on and asked me again.

"If you really had feelings for each other as you say, why did you break up back then? Was it for money? For power? Hmm?"

It is indeed for money, but not for myself, but for you.

Even if I told her that, she would never believe me.

Perhaps she will never believe it.

I've tried bringing up this topic once, and she's already given me an answer, so I'll never bring it up again.

Today I went home as she wished. I just want to know about the headmistress's mother. What is she thinking?

"If you're not planning to rest yet, I'd like to talk to you about the headmistress. When can you start helping me?"

To convince her that I truly wanted to help the hospital director, and to make her believe that I was willing to give everything to help her.

I revealed my hand to her directly.

"As long as you're willing to help the headmistress, I'll do anything you ask. I'll agree to anything you ask."

She didn't reply to me; instead, she got off the bed with a dangerous look in her eyes.

I watched her walk towards me step by step...

I held my breath and became cautious.

She walked over and pushed me down.

I lay back down on the sofa. She knelt on the sofa with one leg, held onto the sofa with one hand, and clamped my chin with the other.

"It's not like we're husband and wife, but more like business partners. Everything we say and do is for negotiation."

I sneered inwardly. Did they really think we could just pretend nothing was wrong and talk about love?

Can she do it?

However, he could only think these words in his heart, lest he provoke her into a fit of rage if he said them aloud.

Her other hand began to roam over my body, teasing me as usual.

Sometimes, I really don't understand why she always has two different faces, one during the day and one at night.

At night, she would always cling to me and be intimate with me.

It gave me the illusion that she had feelings for me.

During the day, however, she was like a cold-faced devil, always giving me orders and never showing any warmth.

But my body can't take any more strain.

Just as she was about to take the next step, I grabbed her hand and pushed her away.

"Don't do this!"

"What do you mean, 'don't want'? Since you chose to come back, you should have known you'd face this situation at any time, and you'd have to refuse me every time?"

Song Yafei looked at me with a mocking expression, as if I were a toy.

But whenever I think about how things were between her and Yu Chengliang, I can't help but feel bitter.

Not wanting to get entangled with her any longer, I got up, picked her up, and put her back on the bed.

I came here today for only one thing: to discuss the surgery for the hospital director's mother.

I can endure anything for this purpose.

I gently unbuttoned her coat and helped her take it off.

He whispered in her ear, "I'll do anything as long as you're willing to help the headmistress. We can stay married, and I can even... do this kind of thing with you."

"So, you mean... we can continue?"

Song Yafei suddenly turned her head, her red lips brushing against my face, her voice incredibly alluring.

Her tone was full of amusement.

I could feel her watching me, but I didn't want her to read the emotions in my eyes.

In the end, I still couldn't stop her from grabbing her hand that was about to cause trouble.

I tried to find even the slightest opportunity in this negotiation.

I turned around and sat down next to her. "I need your help, and you need my cooperation."

"I promise you that I will maintain a loving and affectionate relationship with you in public, and I will never disturb your private life in private."

"As for me, I can assure you that I will never mess around with anyone else and will stay in front of you for the rest of my life."

If I'm optimistic, I only have a few years left in my life.

I originally wanted to go far away, so that she wouldn't know even if I died.

Now we can only take it one step at a time.

Song Yafei has no idea how much determination it took for me to say those words.

Instead, Song Yafei snorted twice, and with just those two snorts, I could feel her intense anger.

"You're quite magnanimous!" she said sarcastically. "So, you mean you want to be a fake couple with me?"

A fake couple?

What it's called doesn't matter, it's the meaning that matters.

Does it even matter whether it's fake or not? Aren't we like this now?

"All you want is an obedient, docile dog. Wouldn't it be better if I became what you wanted me to be?"

Although I am unwilling, I am slowly accepting this reality.

Facing a life-or-death situation, I've gradually come to see things in a more detached way.

My compliance only angered her further.

She exuded a chilling aura, as if even a simple touch could freeze you.

She suddenly reached out and grabbed my collar forcefully, forcing me to look her in the eye and get closer to her.

Her hot breath fell on my face, and the familiar scent still drew me in.

"I never expected you to be so magnanimous!" Song Yafei said again, almost through gritted teeth.

I don't understand.

"Isn't this what you wanted?"

Song Yafei didn't answer, but instead asked me, "Last time you were willing to cut your wrists for Lin Qiuran, this time you're willing to become an obedient dog for the dean."

"I'm curious to know who you'll be doing this for next time, and to what extent."

Next time?

I don't even dare to think about it; I have nothing left to give.

"In this world, who else besides those two can you care about?"

Her voice was very soft, as if she wasn't looking for an answer from me.

I couldn't hear clearly. Before I could ask, Song Yafei suddenly turned her head and stared at me with a cold look in her eyes.

Before I could react, she suddenly lowered her head and bit my neck.

"Um……"

I groaned and frowned as I endured her barrage of words.

In just ten seconds, she let go again, rested her head on my shoulder, and breathed heavily.

I remained motionless, and we sat there for about a minute.

Song Yafei suddenly pulled away, stood up, and glanced at me sideways. "Just as you said, despite the fact that our marriage is only in name, I'll help you solve some minor problems."

"But if you dare to betray me, I can take it back immediately."

She acted like a judge, announcing the final verdict and then leaving without a trace of expression.

Soon, the sound of a car driving away could be heard downstairs.

she left.

A short while later, Aunt Lin came upstairs to inquire about the situation, and she understood what was going on when she saw the scene before her.

She didn't ask, but just sighed and turned to go downstairs.

But as she walked, she couldn't help but sigh, "How did two perfectly good people end up like this?"

Yes, how did it turn out like this?

I gave a wry smile.
