Shen Qingli's hands dropped to her side, unconsciously clutching the corner of her clothes tightly, as if that was the only sense of security she could grasp at the moment.

There was a hint of determination and panic in her eyes, and deep down she was in turmoil.

No matter what, she won't admit it.

Children are the most important existence in her life and her comfort in countless lonely nights.

How could she possibly tell Zhou Yanchen that this was his child?

She was fully aware of the influence and methods of this man. Once he had the idea of ​​taking the child away, she would be powerless to resist.

Shen Qingli took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down, raised her eyes and looked at Zhou Yanchen, her face was as calm as a lake, without a single ripple, but her voice was firm and decisive: "No, Zhou Yanchen, you are too conceited."

"We only had sex once, and you're so sure you'll have a child? You're not that good."

The corners of her mouth curled up in a disdainful arc, trying to use this attitude to cover up her inner uneasiness.

"Zhou Yanchen, the child's father is someone else. I hope that from today on, you will completely leave our lives and not get entangled with us anymore."

Shen Qingli was about to leave, but Zhou Yanchen still stood in front of her without moving, his eyes revealing an unquestionable firmness:

"Shen Qingli, whether the child is mine or not, from now on, I will not stand idly by."

“I like them very much.”

When Shen Qingli heard this, anger and grievance surged up in her heart. She sneered: "Zhou Yanchen, when did you become so kind?"

"Do you have a fatherhood fetish now?"

"It has nothing to do with you, kid. What are you so obsessed with?"

"I can take care of them myself, so don't bother yourself."

Zhou Yanchen looked at Shen Qingli's stubborn look, his heart felt like being stabbed by thousands of needles, the pain was unbearable.

His voice trembled slightly, full of guilt: "Xiao Li, I know I am sorry for you."

"I'm a complete asshole. I know I'm wrong, you can hit me, scold me, whatever you want."

After Shen Qingli heard this, his body stiffened slightly, and a hint of complex emotions flashed across his eyes, but was quickly replaced by indifference:

"Don't call me that. I'm not used to it."

"I have already put an end to the past in my heart, and I don't want to talk about it anymore."

"You should pay more attention to your beloved Bai Yueguang. Your behavior just now must have made her very unhappy."

"Xiao Li, things are not what you think. She and I didn't..." Zhou Yanchen wanted to explain anxiously.

However, Shen Jinxi's childish voice broke the tense atmosphere, "Mom, uncle, what are you doing?"

Shen Qingli reacted quickly, and without hesitation, he stretched out his hand to push Zhou Yanchen away, with a gentle smile on his face.

"Xiaobao, we didn't do anything, we just talked a few words, is the burger delivered?"

"Yes, it has been delivered. I saw that my mother had not come back for a long time, so I came to see her." Shen Jinxi said, blinking her clear and innocent eyes.

"Thank you, Xiaobao, for caring about mom. Let's go eat burgers." Shen Qingli held Shen Jinxi's hand tightly and walked forward without looking back.

Shen Jinxi, however, was like a little angel. She turned around and shouted to Zhou Yanchen, "Uncle, come here soon."

"Okay, uncle will be here soon." Zhou Yanchen looked at the gradually receding figures of the big and small one, feeling mixed emotions in his heart.

He knew that past mistakes stood between them like a chasm.

But this time, he would never let go no matter what, even if the road ahead was full of thorns.

Even if Shen Qingli didn't admit it, the boy was absolutely sure it was him.

After the meal, Zhou Yanchen said he wanted to take the children out to play, but Shen Qingli refused.

The more the children spend time with Zhou Yanchen, the more dangerous it becomes.

Zhou Yanchen knew that he couldn't rush things now, so he didn't force it.

"I'll take you back."

Shen Qingli refused without thinking, but Zhou Yanchen lowered his head and whispered in her ear: "If you refuse, I will take the child to do a paternity test directly."

"If they were my children, I would let them recognize their ancestors."

"You know what I'm capable of."

Shen Qingli bit her lips tightly and said after a while: "If you want to be a driver, I won't stop you. It's free, so why not use it?"

Shen Jinnan and Shen Jinxi have always had the habit of taking a nap, so as soon as they got in the car, they fell asleep on Shen Qingli's legs.

Zhou Yanchen saw this scene from the rearview mirror and felt very uncomfortable. She must have suffered a lot during these times!

"Xiao Li, why haven't you come back to Beijing once?"

Shen Qingli didn't expect him to ask this question suddenly. She was just surprised for a moment, "Because there is nothing here for me to keep as a souvenir."

"It doesn't matter whether you come back or not."

After saying this, Shen Qingli turned his head to look out the car window and said no more.

When Zhou Yanchen heard this, it felt like his heart was torn apart, and the pain was so severe that he couldn't breathe.

Shen Qingli no longer hid where she lived. There was nothing worse than him seeing the child. Even if she hid it, Zhou Yanchen would be able to find out.

It didn't matter, as long as he didn't touch the child, she would just treat him as a stranger.

When they were almost at the gate of the community, Shen Qingli woke up the child.

As soon as the car stopped at the gate of the community, Shen Qingli quickly opened the door and got out with the child.

Zhou Yanchen got out of the car, "Dabao, Xiaobao, see you next time."

Shen Jinnan and Shen Jinxi both smiled and nodded, "Goodbye, uncle."

Shen Qingli still said "thank you" to him, and then led them towards the community without looking back.

Zhou Yanchen didn't look away until their figures disappeared from his sight. Then he took out his cell phone from his pocket and called Chang You.

"Hey, from now on, stop all cooperation with Su's company."

Chang You heard this and was full of doubts: "Boss, what happened?"

Thinking of what Su Hao said in kindergarten, Zhou Yanchen's eyes were full of coldness, "Why ask so many questions, just do it."

"Okay, I'll do it right away."

When Chang You was about to hang up the phone, Zhou Yanchen's voice rang again in the receiver, "By the way, find the best kindergarten in Beijing, which should be close to Donghu County."

Hearing this, Chang You seemed to have discovered something new. "Boss, are you looking for a kindergarten for Dr. Shen's child?"

"That's right." Zhou Yanchen hung up the phone and returned to the car. He took out a ball of paper from his other pocket, opened it gently, and saw two strands of hair inside.

Shen Qingli, I know you won't admit that they are my children.

But in order to stop her from making excuses, he decided to go for a probationary examination. He did this just to stop her from using this excuse to push him away.

He also didn't want his child to be called a bastard without a father.

One can imagine how much sadness and grievance she has endured silently in the past few years.

He punched the steering wheel, his eyes bloodshot, Zhou Yanchen, you are really not a human being.

He was willing to use the rest of his life to pay for what he had done before.
