After five
Zhou Yanchen stood quietly in front of the French window in the office of the president of Xinyu Group, his posture straight but unable to hide his loneliness, a lit cigarette between his fingers.
Outside the window, the capital city was as prosperous as ever, with heavy traffic and people hurrying by, but all this hustle and bustle had nothing to do with him.
In the past five years, Xinyu Group's position in Beijing has become increasingly unshakable. Even Fengxing Media, which he founded five years ago out of a gamble, has now ascended to the throne of Beijing's media industry and is enjoying unlimited glory.
However, Zhou Yanchen, who seemed to be so glorious in front of others, seemed to have a different soul behind others.
The high-spirited, talkative and cheerful man in the past has become more and more unpredictable and difficult to predict.
Chang You stood behind Zhou Yanchen, his face full of worry.
"Is there no news about her yet?" Zhou Yanchen asked hoarsely.
Chang You sighed in his heart, "My boss, if you had this realization five years ago, you would probably be a father now."
Doctor Shen was also amazing. After that day, he disappeared for five days without any news.
They mobilized all their connections but could not find any trace of Shen Qingli.
"Not yet, boss."
Zhou Yanchen seemed to hear it and slowly took out a lighter from his pocket. With a slight "click" sound, the flame rose, and the faint blue light illuminated his slightly haggard face.
Then the smoke filled the air, and he took a deep breath, the nicotine entering his lungs, as if he was looking for a moment of peace in this spiciness.
"Well, go ahead and do your work!" He waved his hand, his back looking even more bleak in the smoke.
Chang You saw that he was smoking again, and couldn't help but persuade him: "Boss, you should smoke less. The doctor told you last time that you must quit smoking and drinking. Your body...can't stand this kind of torture anymore."
Ever since Shen Qingli left, Zhou Yanchen has been numbing himself with alcohol most of the time.
At first he thought he didn't care about her or this marriage, so he divorced her and was completely free from it.
But when Shen Qingli really disappeared from his world, he began to miss her madly again.
He had suffered from severe insomnia in recent days, and sleeping pills could only allow him to sleep for one or two hours.
Seeing that Chang You didn't leave, Zhou Yanchen whispered again: "Chang You, where do you think Shen Qingli will go?"
"She gave Jiang's company three million yuan. She probably doesn't have much money left. How far can she run if she has no money left?"
Zhou Yanchen asked him this question more than once.
If he had known, he would have brought Dr. Shen back long ago.
"Boss, maybe we'll get news about Dr. Shen soon. Let's wait a little longer."
"By the way, you have to take Miss Su to attend Mr. Pei's birthday party at 7 o'clock in the evening."
Zhou Yanchen said "hmm" lightly.
…
Airport
Pei Yike and Chu Xiaoyu stood side by side at the airport, their eyes fixed on the exit passage.
Pei Yike's brows knitted unconsciously, and with a bit of anxiety and impatience, he murmured softly: "Xiaoyu, why hasn't A-Li come out yet? This flight has obviously landed for a long time."
There was an unconcealable worry in his tone, as if he was afraid that something might go wrong on the journey.
Chu Xiaoyu heard the voice and smiled soothingly, "Sister Ali didn't come back alone this time. She brought Dabao and Xiaobao with her."
"After getting off the plane, we have to pick up our luggage. It will take a lot of effort to carry so many bags and take care of two little ones. We just have to be patient and wait."
Pei Yike sighed lightly and nodded slightly, "Yeah, that's right, it's my fault for being too impatient. I haven't seen them for several months, and I feel like a cat scratching me."
All in all, Pei Yike and Shen Qingli have known each other for three years.
Recalling their first meeting, it was an unexpected accident. Pei Yike almost died at that time. It was Shen Qingli who stepped forward without hesitation and snatched her back from the hands of death.
Since then, Pei Yike has been sticking to Shen Qingli.
Whenever she is free, she will go to find Shen Qingli.
At first it was to repay a favor, but over time, she was really impressed by Shen Qingli's talent and charm, not to mention the soft and lovely Dabao and Xiaobao.
Every time I see them, my heart melts and I wish I could bring all the good things in the world to these two little guys.
Gradually, Shen Qingli, Chu Xiaoyu and Pei Yike became good friends who could talk about anything.
After a while, a few familiar and friendly figures came into their sight.
In the crowd, Shen Qingli was like a tall and straight orchid, graceful yet gentle and strong.
She pushed the suitcase steadily with one hand and held the little girl tightly with the other.
The little girl was about five years old, with dark, slightly messy hair carefully tied into two playful little braids.
As it swayed with its steps, its pink face flushed and its big watery eyes twinkled, full of novelty and agility. It looked so cute that people couldn't help but want to pinch it.
Looking to the side, I saw a little boy walking with his head held high and striding forward. His small body was standing straight, and there was a hint of heroism in his steps.
At only about five years old, she already has a unique aura, sharp eyebrows, bright eyes, delicate features, and a beautiful figure that is beyond description.
When Pei Yike saw the two children for the first time, she couldn't help but ask Shen Qingli in which magical hospital she had done the in vitro fertilization to give birth to such incredibly outstanding babies.
She even said that if she was determined not to get married, she would still find a way to find such excellent genes for in vitro fertilization.
Although it was just a joke, every time I see Dabao and Xiaobao becoming smarter and smarter, the emotion becomes stronger.
Pei Yike and Chu Xiaoyu immediately waved to them, "Ali, Dabao, Xiaobao."
Shen Jinnan has always been rather aloof. She feels that his two aunts are sometimes even more childish than him.
Compared to Shen Jinnan, Shen Jinxi was much more lively and cheerful. With a sweet smile on her face, she called out in a coquettish voice, "Auntie Ke, Auntie."
At this moment, the distance to the airport pick-up point was rapidly shortened in a few steps, and Pei Yike and Chu Xiaoyu hurried forward.
Pei Yike took the lead, suddenly opened her arms, took Dabao and Xiaobao into her arms, and kissed their little faces.
Then he stood up and looked at Shen Qingli, "I'm glad you're finally back. You must be exhausted on the journey."
Shen Qingli smiled and said, "Fortunately, these two little guys were very well behaved along the way and didn't bother me."
Pei Yike stretched out her hand and pinched their little faces, "Dabao, Xiaobao are so good, Auntie Ke bought a lot of clothes and toys for you, and she is looking forward to your coming."
"I'll give it to you later."
Shen Jinnan and Shen Jinxi said in unison: "Thank you, Aunt Ke."
Chu Xiaoyu opened her arms and hugged Shen Qingli, "Sister A Li, welcome back."
Shen Qingli smiled and hugged her, "Thank you."
Five years later, Shen Qingli's heart was already calm when he stepped into this homeland again.
As long as I don't meet that person.
