Zhou Yanchen looked at Shen Qingli in front of him, with a hint of pain in his eyes, "Shen Qingli, does it have to be like this?"

"You can't let the children be without a father's love forever. I didn't know about the existence of the two children before, but now that I know, I can't just stand by and watch."

His eyes were fixed on Shen Qingli, as if trying to find a glimmer of hope in her face that could change the status quo.

Shen Qingli raised her eyes and looked straight at Zhou Yanchen. There was no warmth in her eyes, like a thick layer of ice that froze all the past emotions.

"Zhou Yanchen, I can let them see you. If they are willing to acknowledge you as their father, I won't say anything."

"After all, I really have no right to deprive them of their choice."

Zhou Yanchen wanted to speak again, trying to ease the tension between them, but at this moment, the elevator dinged and went steadily to the first floor.

The elevator door slowly opened, and a group of people standing at the door stared at them without blinking.

This sudden look made the atmosphere instantly become a little awkward.

Seeing this, Shen Qingli quickly pushed Zhou Yanchen away and walked out quickly.

When the group of people at the door saw Zhou Yanchen, they subconsciously held their breath.

Why is Zhou Yanchen here?

Or with a woman?

Who is the woman who just went out?

Countless questions were written on their faces, and they whispered to each other.

Zhou Yanchen didn't care about their glances at all. At this moment, there was only Shen Qingli in his eyes. He quickly walked out of the elevator to chase her.

Shen Qingli hurried to the roadside and hailed a taxi.

Just as she was about to open the car door and get out, Zhou Yanchen was quick to close the door and said, "Master, I'm sorry, we're not leaving now."

The taxi driver gave them a disapproving look, then drove away swearing.

Shen Qingli was completely enraged. He glared at Zhou Yanchen and asked, "What on earth are you going to do?"

Zhou Yanchen pursed his lips, trying to make his tone sound gentler, "I'll take you back."

Before Shen Qingli could refuse, he continued, "If you don't agree, then I will go with you in the car."

Shen Qingli rolled his eyes at Zhou Yanchen and muttered in a low voice, "You're sick."

"You can give it to me if you want."

It’s a waste not to use the free driver.

She really didn't want to waste any more words with him. Why didn't she realize before that he was so shameless?

Zhou Yanchen said that no matter what her attitude was now, as long as she relaxed, it would be a good thing for him.

He now deeply realized that he would suffer the consequences if he did evil.

His former youth and frivolity had caused him to miss too much, and now facing Shen Qingli and the children, he was filled with guilt and a desire to make amends.

He walked quickly to the car, opened the door for Shen Qingli, and waited for her to sit down before he gently closed the door and walked around to the driver's seat.

Along the way, the atmosphere in the car was a bit depressing, and neither of them spoke.

Zhou Yanchen's eyes kept drifting towards Shen Qingli who was sitting next to him. He seemed to have a thousand words to say, but every time the words came to his lips, they were stuck in his throat and he didn't know where to start.

At this time, Shen Qingli was staring quietly at the street scene outside the car window that was constantly receding, and his thoughts were running wildly like a wild horse that had broken free from its reins.

Time passed quietly like this. After an unknown amount of time, Shen Qingli only felt that his eyelids were getting heavier and heavier, as if being pulled by an invisible force and gradually closing together.

Her breathing became steady and gentle, and she fell into a deep sleep without even noticing.

Zhou Yanchen slowly drove the car into the underground parking lot of Donghu County and parked it steadily.

He turned his head gently and saw Shen Qingli who had fallen asleep in the passenger seat.

Her head was slightly tilted, with a few strands of hair casually falling down, covering half of her cheek, making her look even more delicate and tranquil.

Zhou Yanchen reached out his hand carefully and gently unbuckled his seat belt, fearing that any sound would disturb the sleeping person.

Afterwards, he could no longer take his eyes away from Shen Qingli's beautiful face.

At this moment, he realized that he had never looked at her so seriously and carefully before.

He slowly raised his hand and gently approached Shen Qingli's face. When his hand was about to touch her skin, he suddenly retracted it as if he had been electrocuted.

He was afraid of waking her up, and even more afraid of disturbing this rare peace.

However, just by looking at her from a distance, Zhou Yanchen's eyes became moist involuntarily, and his eyes were filled with scarlet bloodshot.

"Xiao Li..." He whispered softly, his voice filled with endless guilt and self-blame, "I'm sorry, I'm really sorry... This is all my fault, I made you suffer so much..."

If I could do it all over again, I would definitely protect you and never let you get hurt again...

I won't say those cruel words to you.

Thinking back to the pain she had experienced, Zhou Yanchen's heart felt as if it was pierced by thousands of sharp blades and the pain was unbearable.

A tear slid down from the corner of his eye and fell on the back of his hand.

At this moment, Zhou Yanchen keenly noticed that Shen Qingli beside him seemed to move her eyelids. He was startled, afraid that she would see his frightened appearance, so he quickly moved aside and raised his hand to wipe away the remaining tears from the corners of his eyes.

Shen Qingli woke up slowly, and only realized with sleepy eyes that he had accidentally fallen asleep.

Her heart tightened, and she sat up straight abruptly, with a hint of embarrassment on her face.

"We're already here, why don't you wake me up?"

"I just arrived and was about to call you." Zhou Yanchen explained hastily, with a hint of imperceptible panic in his tone.

Before he finished speaking, Shen Qingli hurriedly reached out to unbuckle his seat belt, then pushed open the car door and quickly got out of the car.

Seeing this, Zhou Yanchen quickly got out of the car and walked quickly behind Shen Qingli.

"Shen Qingli, do the things you just said to me in the elevator still count?"

Hearing this, Shen Qingli stopped suddenly.

She stood there quietly, silent for several seconds, as if time had frozen at this moment.

Then, she slowly turned around and looked at Zhou Yanchen calmly.

"Well, wait for my notification on when we're going to meet." Shen Qingli said lightly.

"Okay! Xiaoli, thank you..." Zhou Yanchen's voice was filled with excitement.

Shen Qingli just looked at him silently, without saying another word, turned around and walked forward.

The reason she agreed to let Zhou Yanchen see the two children was that she gradually discovered that the two children actually longed for their father's love.

And Xiaobao and Xiaobao seemed to have discovered that Zhou Yanchen was their father.

It would not be fair to the children to continue hiding the fact about their biological father.

Shen Qingli sighed, perhaps all this was really destined.
