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

Chapter 224 Surprise or Shock?

Two days later, after arranging things at the restaurant in the morning, I returned to the villa at noon to pack my things.

The plane ticket I booked to Hancheng a few days ago is due this afternoon.

Surprisingly, Song Yafei, who is always busy, actually came back at noon today. She was a little surprised when she walked into the bedroom and saw me packing my luggage.

"Going on a business trip?"

When I saw her, I was startled. I didn't dare let her know about this, for fear that she would question me and investigate further.

If she finds out the purpose of my trip to Hancheng, I wonder what kind of trouble she'll cause.

She had forgotten something and started rummaging through the dressing room after talking to me.

Fortunately, the gap in her clothes and hat when she went in gave me time to catch my breath, preventing her from noticing anything amiss.

I forced myself to calm down by suppressing my anxiety.

Song Yafei came out with a document in her hand and came to my side. "Where are you going on your business trip?"

"Hancheng. Didn't I tell you before? There's a boss in Hancheng, Mrs. Li, who's very familiar with us. She's very interested in our restaurant and wants to invite me to collaborate."

"I'd also like to visit their restaurant and learn from them."

Song Yafei nodded, and there was nothing wrong with her expression.

"What time is your flight? Want me to come with you?"

As she spoke, she even took out her phone from her pocket, preparing to contact Assistant Luo.

I was terrified. If I really let her go with me, then nothing would be possible.

"No need," I quickly refused. "It's just a small matter, and I'll be back in two days."

"Really? But I don't want to be apart from you for even a day."

She said that suddenly, but I wasn't in the mood to pay attention at all. My mind was filled with what I would do if Song Yafei went.

She stood next to me, and I watched her text Assistant Luo, asking her to book tickets.

I took her hand; my palms were slightly sweaty from nervousness.

"I heard Assistant Luo say a couple of days ago that the project has reached a critical stage. If you leave now, what will happen to the group? Don't worry, I'll only be there for two days, it'll be fine."

Song Yafei turned to look at me, "Really? But I'm not too worried about your health."

I took out the small bag from my suitcase and opened it. Inside were the medicines I had prepared, neatly arranged.

"Look, I'm all prepared, there's nothing to worry about. Besides, the doctor said last time that there's nothing serious."

That's how Song Yafei deleted the message she was going to send to Assistant Luo right under my nose.

"I was originally quite interested in Hancheng and was thinking of taking this opportunity to go and have some fun with you, but since you said that, I won't go."

Hearing this, I felt a little regretful, but thankfully, it dispelled her idea, and I breathed a sigh of relief.

To avoid arousing her suspicion, I quickly reassured her, "Since you're interested, we can go together when you're less busy and have a good time."

Will it? Will there be such an opportunity?

Whether or not she gets the opportunity is not up to her.

But as she said this, she suddenly looked up at me with a strange look in her eyes, filled with expectation and some other emotion that I couldn't understand.

Under her gaze, I couldn't help but look at her, our eyes meeting.

To avoid arousing suspicion, I kept my head down and continued tidying up.

"It's never too late if you're willing."

"Okay, it's settled then."

Song Yafei grabbed my wrist and suddenly tightened her grip, but when I sensed something was wrong, she let go.

She suddenly stood on tiptoe and kissed me on the cheek.

"I have other things to do at the company, so I'll be leaving now. Take your time packing, make sure you have everything you need, especially your medication. Call me if anything happens."

"it is good."

After she finished speaking, she walked towards the door, but when she reached the door, she stopped for some reason, and my heart jumped when she stopped.

She turned around, looked at me intently, and suddenly asked with a hint of surprise, "Zhang Tian, ​​is there anything else you want to say to me?"

I didn't understand what she meant by asking that question, so I just shook my head and told her, "Be careful on the road."

A fleeting look of disappointment crossed Song Yafei's face, though it was brief, I still noticed it.

She smiled faintly, "Okay, you too. I'm leaving now, I'll wait for you to come back."

After saying that, she left, leaving behind the sound of high heels clicking on the ground.

For some reason, the sound of high heels disturbed my mind, making me feel that something was wrong.

But since I was short on time, I didn't think much of it, quickly packed my things, and went to the airport.

While waiting at the airport, I felt uneasy. The image of Song Yafei leaving earlier that day, and her eyes, kept flashing before my eyes.

It's inexplicably making me a little annoyed.

I was also a little worried that Song Yafei might suddenly come to the airport.

After all, she's so willful; she does whatever she wants, and no one can stop her.

Thankfully, I finally heard the boarding announcement, and she still hadn't shown up, so I breathed a sigh of relief.

I arrived in Hancheng that evening, and the next morning I arranged to meet Han Nian.

I didn't expect Han Nian to bring her daughter along.

Her daughter looked to be seven or eight years old. What surprised me was that Han Nian looked to be only twenty-four or twenty-five years old. I didn't expect her to have such a big child.

After exchanging greetings, we started talking about the restaurant's design and business philosophy.

After a conversation, we were surprised to find that our ideas aligned perfectly, and we got along very well.

We also scheduled a visit to A Thought Through Autumn.

After discussing these things, we got straight to the point. The original purpose of our visit was to discuss permanent residency with Han Nian.

The matter has been basically settled, but some specific details still need to be negotiated.

Surprisingly, we had to stop talking as soon as we got started.

A familiar figure came to our table. I was startled and looked at the person in disbelief.

How did she end up here?

Her body stiffened instantly, and she couldn't stand up in time. She asked in surprise, "How did you get here?"

Song Yafei looked at me with a faint smile, a smile that was gentle, but it gave me a chill.

"Didn't I say I wanted to come to Hancheng with you? I wanted to give you a surprise. How about it, are you surprised?"

Surprised?

More like a fright!

Song Yafei then turned to Han Nian beside her and greeted her with a standard, formulaic smile.

"Han Nian, Mr. Han, it's an honor to meet you!"

As she spoke, she reached out her hand to Han Nian.

I had no idea what she was planning, but I was terrified.

Han Nian stood up confidently and took Song Yafei's hand.

"Mr. Jiang, you're too kind. Why didn't you give me a heads-up before coming to Hancheng? As the host, I should have made preparations in advance to welcome you and give you a proper welcome."
