Zhou Yanchen's thoughts were a little confused, so he turned around and went up to the rooftop.
On the rooftop, the cold wind blew on his face, like a pair of cold hands, trying to pull him back to reality from his chaotic thoughts.
He took a deep breath, letting the coolness penetrate his heart and lungs. The city was brightly lit at night, with a constant flow of traffic, but this bustling scene seemed to have nothing to do with him.
It took him a long time to calm down and return to the children's ward.
As soon as Shen Jinxi saw him, her eyes lit up instantly, and a clear voice echoed in the ward: "Dad, where have you been? Why did you take so long to come back?"
When Zhou Yanchen saw Shen Jinxi's smiling face, his heart warmed and a gentle smile immediately appeared on his face.
He walked to the bedside and gently touched his daughter's head. "Dad just went to take care of something. Sorry, did I keep Xiaobao waiting for a long time?"
Shen Jinxi smiled and shook her head, her eyebrows curved like a crescent moon: "No, mom was just playing games with us."
"Well, what game did you play just now? Dad is a little curious." Zhou Yanchen's voice was full of doting.
Shen Jinxi was about to speak when Shen Qingli interrupted her: "Dabao and Xiaobao, get ready for bed. Wake up and we can go home tomorrow."
The two children were very happy to hear that they were going home.
Shen Qingli sat beside the bed, gently coaxing the children to sleep.
Zhou Yanchen looked at this heartwarming scene, but a trace of bitterness welled up in his heart.
The children were going home, and he would no longer be with them like this.
He longed to live with them and become a true member of this family.
But there seemed to be a gap between him and Shen Qingli that was difficult to cross.
Zhou Yanchen turned around and sat down on the sofa outside, his brows furrowed, lost in thought.
He racked his brains, thinking about how to convince Shen Qingli to let them live together.
But he had just made her angry again, and if he made this request now, it would probably backfire and she would kick him out immediately.
The lights in the room have been turned off, and the whole world seems to have become quiet.
Zhou Yanchen leaned on the sofa, looking quietly in the direction of the ward.
His eyes were full of attachment and reluctance, because there was his most beloved family, the one he most longed to integrate into.
As the night deepened, the noise of the city gradually died down.
Zhou Yanchen, however, was not sleepy at all. Every moment he spent with the children kept appearing in his mind.
Those warm moments, like bright stars, illuminated the softest place deep in his heart.
The next day, Shen Qingli got up early. When she came out, she saw Zhou Yanchen sitting on the sofa.
His face was full of fatigue, his eyes were bloodshot, and he looked haggard. Could it be that he had been sitting here all night last night?
Shen Qingli's heart moved slightly, but when she thought of what happened yesterday, she hardened her heart and ignored him.
When Zhou Yanchen saw her coming out, he immediately stood up and said, "I have already bought breakfast. Is there anything else I can do for you?"
His voice was a little hoarse and full of fatigue.
Shen Qingli glanced at the lunch box on the table and said coldly, "No, go back. Yike and the others will come to pick up the child later."
Zhou Yanchen opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them back.
He looked at Shen Qingli silently, his eyes filled with loss.
Pei Yike and Chu Xiaoyu didn't know that Zhou Yanchen was here. When they came in and saw him standing there, they were a little surprised.
Not to mention, Zhou Yanchen's aura is really strong. He stands there so quietly and gives off a sense of intimidation.
Let me want to stay away from it.
Pei Yike and Chu Xiaoyu both nodded at him and quickly quickened their pace to go inside.
Zhou Yanchen stood aside, feeling very unhappy when he saw that there was no place for him to intervene.
Shen Jinxi came out and gently pulled his hand, "Dad, will you accompany me and my brother like you do now?"
Zhou Yanchen squatted down and held Shen Jinxi in his arms, "Yes, as long as you and brother need daddy, daddy will be there."
Shen Qingli, who was standing inside, heard their conversation and a complex emotion welled up in his eyes.
Pei Yike whispered in Shen Qingli's ear: "Ali, Xiaobao likes Zhou Yanchen so much?"
"What are you going to do?"
Shen Qingli frowned slightly, "I don't know."
Shen Jinxi and the others got into Pei Yike's car, but Zhou Yanchen still asked Chang You to drive and follow them silently.
Chang You tilted his head and glanced at the person in the passenger seat, "Boss, has the relationship between you and Dr. Shen improved a little now?"
Zhou Yanchen sighed inwardly. There were signs of improvement, but he messed it up again.
Chang You had been with him for a long time, so he was naturally clear about his boss's temper. He remained silent because he didn't want to say anything.
Naturally, he did not ask any more questions, but changed the subject, "Boss, Shen Weiwei is mentally disturbed, should we let her go?"
Zhou Yanchen nodded and said, "Let him go, and send someone to watch him. Don't let those people from the Shen family get close to the child."
"You can save Shen Song."
…
Shen Weiwei has been missing for nearly a day.
For Ren Wan, every minute and every second of this day seemed like a long and endless torment.
She had come to the police station entrance countless times, but she never dared to go in.
On this day, Ren Wan once again left the police station in a daze.
She walked aimlessly on the street with empty eyes, as if her soul had been taken away.
The hustle and bustle of traffic around her had nothing to do with her.
Suddenly, a commotion not far away caught her attention.
A dishevelled woman rushed towards the pedestrians on the road like a madman.
Her hair was disheveled around her face, her clothes were tattered, she staggered, and from time to time she made unclear sounds.
Ren Wan subconsciously tightened her grip on the phone, feeling uneasy.
She glanced at the woman quickly, and at that moment, her body suddenly stiffened and she froze on the spot.
How come that dishevelled, crazy girl, with that figure and that look, looks so much like Weiwei?
A strong hope surged in Ren Wan's heart, but it was suppressed by deep fear.
She couldn't believe that her once radiant daughter had become like this.
Shen Weiwei seemed to feel Ren Wan's gaze as well, and she turned around slowly.
The moment she saw Ren Wan, her body froze and she was stunned for a few seconds.
Then, as if she had seen a savior, a gleam of light flashed in her eyes, and she ran towards Ren Wan.
Ren Wan looked at the woman running towards her, and the fear and doubt in her heart reached its peak.
She couldn't accept that the girl in front of her was her daughter, the daughter she had carefully cared for and had high hopes for.
Her body began to move backwards uncontrollably, then she turned around and ran in the opposite direction.
"No, this is not my Weiwei. She has always been my proud daughter. How could she become like this..."
Ren Wan kept muttering to herself as she ran.
