The two little guys were tired after playing all day, so they went home to rest for a while. Shen Qingli and Zhou Yanchen helped them wash up and let them go to bed.
Zhou Yanchen had been telling them stories all the time, and the two children had gotten used to falling asleep listening to his stories.
Just after finishing one story, Zhou Yanchen heard the sound of even breathing.
He put down the storybook, stood up and walked out.
When I came to the living room, I saw Shen Qingli still sitting on the sofa, "Do you have something to say to me?"
Shen Qingli didn't expect Zhou Yanchen to see through her thoughts. She nodded and said, "I have something to say to you."
Zhou Yanchen came and sat next to her, not too close to her for fear that she would feel pressured.
"You talk, I listen."
Shen Qingli organized her words and spoke slowly: "Thank you for what you have done for the two children during this period. I can see that they have become more lively now."
When Zhou Yanchen heard her say this, he had a bad feeling in his heart.
Sure enough, he guessed right.
"Zhou Yanchen, we lived together before because of our two children. Now they are almost well again. You..."
"Do you want me to go back?" Zhou Yanchen said directly.
Shen Qingli nodded, "After all, our current relationship is not suitable to continue like this."
"It's bad for both you and me."
Zhou Yanchen reached out and grabbed her shoulders, making her face him. "Xiao Li, it's been so long, don't you feel my feelings for you?"
"I was an asshole before. I shouldn't have treated you like that."
"I know you've suffered a lot these past few years. You may not accept me now, but I want to share some of the pain for you."
"You are so busy every day. It will be very tiring to take care of two children when you go home."
"I'll try my best not to affect your life. Can you please not let me go?"
"By the way, I found a kindergarten for my children. I took them to see it yesterday and they liked it very much."
"Now I'm waiting for you to go and take a look. If you think it's a good place, I'll send them to school."
Shen Qingli knew that the kindergarten Zhou Yanchen found must be the best in Beijing.
He considered things more comprehensively than she did.
"As long as the children like it, that's all I ask for. It's safe and secure."
"Don't worry, even if they are in school, they will be protected."
"I won't let what happened last time happen again."
"Yeah, okay."
When Shen Qingli was about to say something, the cell phone she placed aside rang.
She quickly picked up the phone and said, "Hello, go ahead."
"Okay, I'll be right there."
Shen Qingli hung up the phone, and Zhou Yanchen asked, "What's wrong?"
"There's an emergency patient at the hospital. I'm going there now."
Zhou Yanchen wanted to send her there, but the two children were at home. "You drive my car. The key is hanging in the entrance."
The situation was urgent, so Shen Qingli put on his coat, took the car keys and went out.
After Shen Qingli left, Zhou Yanchen came to the balcony and lit a cigarette.
It seems that if I want to warm her heart, I still need to work harder.
Zhou Yanchen took a shower and saw that the two children were sleeping soundly. He went to the living room and turned on his laptop.
He didn't know whether Shen Qingli would come back later, but he wanted to wait for her.
When Shen Qingli arrived at the hospital, he rushed straight into the operating room.
The night was getting deeper and deeper. Zhou Yanchen hadn't been to the company much recently, and he had a lot of emails saved that he hadn't dealt with.
He checked the emails one by one and replied to some of the more important ones.
When he finished, he looked at the time and it was already three o'clock in the morning and Shen Qingli had not returned yet.
If this goes on for a long time, her body will not be able to bear it.
Zhou Yanchen closed his notebook and covered the two children with quilts. Then he went to the kitchen to cook some millet and pumpkin porridge.
When Shen Qingli came out of the operating room, it was almost 12:00.
The operation took nearly nine hours. Fortunately, the result was good and the patient was safe.
The director asked her to rest at home in the morning and go to work in the afternoon.
Shen Qingli came to the parking lot alone. When she walked towards the parked car, she always felt as if there was someone behind her.
When she turned around, there was nothing behind her.
Shen Qingli felt a chill on his back and quickened his pace to move forward.
It wasn't until she got into the car and locked the door that her heart finally settled down.
She patted her face, she must be too tired and hallucinating.
She quickly started the engine and drove out of the parking lot.
Shortly after she left, a man wearing glasses walked out from a car.
Zhou Yanchen, you have good taste, she is a stunner.
Shen Qingli dragged her tired body back. As soon as she opened the door and looked up, she saw someone lying on the sofa.
At this moment, she inexplicably felt at ease.
Zhou Yanchen heard the noise and quickly stood up and walked towards her. "You're back. You must be tired. I made some millet and pumpkin porridge. Have some before going to bed."
Hearing Zhou Yanchen's words, a complicated look flashed in Shen Qingli's eyes. He has been really much better recently.
Seeing that she didn't answer, Zhou Yanchen asked again: "Would you like to drink something?"
Shen Qingli hummed softly.
"I'll help you serve it. Please sit down for a while."
Before he finished speaking, Zhou Yanchen had already walked towards the kitchen.
Zhou Yanchen quickly brought a bowl of millet and pumpkin porridge and a plate of side dishes and placed them in front of Shen Qingli.
"This one is more appetizing, try it."
Shen Qingli thanked him softly.
Zhou Yanchen sat down next to him. After she finished half of the bowl, he spoke, "Did the operation go well?"
"Well, it went well."
Zhou Yanchen's lips curled slightly, "That's good."
"You're taking a day off?"
"Half a day, go to the afternoon class."
He asked a question and she answered it.
Seeing that she had finished eating, Zhou Yanchen asked, "Would you like another bowl?"
The millet and pumpkin porridge he cooked was just right. It didn't have any sugar in it, but Shen Qingli liked the natural sweetness of the pumpkin.
"I'll serve it myself."
As soon as Shen Qingli stood up, Zhou Yanchen held her shoulders and said, "I'm here, how can it be your turn?"
"I'll be there, just wait."
Shen Qingli knew that Zhou Yanchen's gentleness was too easy to fall into.
늵 Encompass her at this time.
Shen Qingli finished her second bowl of porridge. The moment she turned her head, she saw the dark circles under Zhou Yanchen's eyes. "You didn't sleep all night again?"
"No, I slept for an hour or two."
Zhou Yanchen works hard during the day and has been taking care of the children recently. If he continues like this, he will collapse sooner or later.
"Didn't you go see the doctor I told you about last time?"
Zhou Yanchen smiled faintly, "I don't have time. I plan to find time to go and see it."
Shen Qingli nodded, "Go early. Insomnia for too long will affect your health."
Zhou Yanchen was in a good mood when he heard this, "Are you caring about me?"
Shen Qingli's eyes flashed with panic, "No, I just don't want my child to be without a father at such a young age."
Watching her walk away quickly, Zhou Yanchen raised his lips and muttered softly, "You obviously care about me, but you still don't admit it."
