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

Chapter 141 Apology

“He looked at me like I was an ordinary person. You know, people of our status are always trying to curry favor with us. How could someone like that not make your heart flutter? Do you understand that feeling?”

“I can understand. But Miss Dong, interest can't stop all problems. Can you refuse this arranged marriage?”

Song Yafei's words silenced Miss Dong.

Everyone knew in their hearts that there was absolutely no way that these family members would break up the connection between the two families.

The marriage alliance cannot be canceled simply because Mr. Dong likes her.

We understand, and Ms. Dong is certainly aware of it.

She said when she came today that she had agreed to the marriage alliance, which must have been quite a struggle, otherwise she wouldn't be so willing.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Song Yafei added fuel to the fire, "Miss Dong, families like ours can't do whatever we want."

“You know very well that if we keep holding onto Lin Qiuran, this will only be the beginning, not the end. You should know very well what the Fang family will do.”

"And what about you? Did you choose Zhang Tian out of necessity?"

Miss Dong's question suddenly fell on Song Yafei and me, which made me nervous as well.

At this moment, I also want to hear whether Song Yafei chose to marry him simply because she wanted revenge, or if she still had some feelings for him.

I even held my breath and didn't dare to breathe.

After a two-minute silence, Song Yafei finally spoke, "When you can stand at the top like me, you can have anything you want, understand?"

Song Yafei's answer was ambiguous, and I was lost in memories for a moment, followed by the sound of footsteps leaving.

Song Yafei came out of the stairwell, opened the door, and saw me. Our eyes met, and Song Yafei was also startled, but she quickly calmed down.

"You heard everything?"

I nodded.

Song Yafei closed the door and helped me walk back.

Do you think Miss Dong will let Lin Qiuran off the hook?

Song Yafei shook her head, unsure of what Miss Dong was thinking.

I don't know what she's thinking, but one thing is certain: if Miss Dong still refuses to give up, the Fang family will definitely not sit idly by.

I sighed. "How could someone as good as Lin Qiuran have to go through all this? If Miss Dong doesn't back down, who knows what else Lin Qiuran might suffer?"

Song Yafei advised me, "Things will work themselves out. Deal with problems as they arise. Don't keep exhausting yourself. You're not in good health, so you need to rest more."

That being said, I still can't put my mind at ease. Someone like Miss Dong might do something if she suffers a setback.

As it turns out, my worries were not unfounded.

The next day, I saw Miss Dong again.

Lin Qiuran and I were chatting in the room. He was lying on one end of the bed, and I was on the other end, facing the door.

Although the door was closed, Miss Dong's head moved inside the glass frame of the door as she peered out.

Lin Qiuran couldn't see it, but my frequent glances at the doorway still caught his attention.

"Hey, what are you looking at?"

I smiled and shook my head. "No, I was just wondering when you can be discharged from the hospital. Once you're discharged, you can see Wu Qian and the baby sooner."

Mentioning his wife and children easily diverted Lin Qiuran's attention, and his face relaxed considerably, with more smiles appearing on his face.

He urged me hurriedly, "Quickly, go ask the doctor when I can be discharged. I can't wait."

"Okay, you lie down and rest, I'll go ask right away."

"Okay, go quickly."

This is a good opportunity for me to block Miss Dong at the door.

When I came out, I pushed the door open and then closed it again. Miss Dong craned her neck, trying to see something, but I stood in front of her.

"What are you doing here again? Do you want to see how miserable he is?" I said irritably, just wanting to get rid of him as soon as possible.

Miss Dong's expression changed. Gone was her usual arrogance; instead, she looked rather shy, and her voice became much softer.

"I just want to see him."

Without the slightest hesitation, I refused, "He's fine now, he just doesn't want to see you. You should leave now! If you want him to be alright, you'd better never come back again."

I didn't hold back at all, and I didn't feel sorry for her just because she was young and looked pitiful. When I thought of Lin Qiuran's miserable state, I couldn't even be nice to her.

Miss Dong nervously grabbed my hand, almost pleading with me.

"Please let me see him. I know it's impossible between us. I've already agreed to the marriage, and he'll be fine afterward."

I find it very puzzling what the point of Miss Dong's persistent entanglement is, considering she and Lin Qiuran have only met once.

Is it just because she's interested that she can do this?

I know that everything that happened to Lin Qiuran was because of Miss Dong.

But after getting to know her, I found that she wasn't a bad person, and she didn't have the bad temper of those rich girls; she was good at heart.

Although I was a little soft-hearted, this was ultimately Lin Qiuran's matter, and I couldn't make a decision on my own.

"Please, just let me see him once, just once, and I promise I won't bother him again."

Ultimately, I couldn't bring myself to be ruthless. "Wait here, I'll go ask him. He's not in a good state right now, and I don't know if he'd like to see you."

Miss Dong nodded hurriedly, "Okay, I'll wait for you."

I couldn't resist my old habit of being soft-hearted. After pushing open the door, before I could even speak, Lin Qiuran looked up at me and smiled.

“I heard everything.”

But I could see that his expression wasn't very good. "No need to force yourself. If you don't want to see me, I'll kick you out right now."

Lin Qiuran shook her head. "Let her in. There's something she has to do, and only she can do it."

Seeing his determination, I didn't say anything more, turned around and went out, opening the door.

"Please come in, Miss Dong."

She gave me a very grateful look, then quickly went into the ward.

But when she got close, she didn't dare to approach. She stood at the foot of Lin Qiuran's bed, holding her bag and awkwardly clutching the strap.

She was horrified by Lin Qiuran's miserable state. Even after several days, the wounds on Lin Qiuran's forehead, face, and legs were still shocking, and her arm was even in a cast. Miss Dong's eyes reddened, and she tried to open her mouth several times but failed.

She tried to calm herself down, and during this time, I stood by without disturbing them.

Lin Qiuran stared at her like a stranger, her eyes filled with barely suppressed anger.

I can understand his feelings, but I don't understand why he would still come and let him in.

Ms. Dong immediately began by apologizing.

"I'm sorry, I didn't know I would cause you to become like this. It's my fault."

Lin Qiuran didn't even frown. "Since you know that our family has suffered this calamity because of you, then please go and apologize to my wife."
