set fire to his heart

Chapter 548 It's just wishful thinking

In the second floor bedroom.

When Shen Shili pushed open the door, he saw Shen Siqing lying in the middle of the bed.

There was no light on in the bedroom.

There is only a starry sky projection lamp on the bedside table.

With its rotation, the whole bedroom is lit with warm yellow stars.

The decoration style is cosmic, even his bed is in the shape of a spaceship, and his favorite space theme can be seen everywhere in the bedroom.

Obviously only two years old, but Shen Siqing already has his own preferences.

Shen Shili walked towards Shen Siqing.

His steps are light.

When he saw his son's sweet sleeping face, there was an unconcealable tenderness in his eyes.

Children are very angry.

So much so that his hair was wet.

Shen Shili couldn't help reaching out to wipe his sweat.

And just as his palm touched him, Shen Siqing suddenly smiled sweetly.

The corners of his lips were raised, revealing a mouthful of white teeth.

"dad……"

He called him in a childish voice.

Shen Shili's movements paused, and his voice was soft: "Are you awake?"

But as soon as he finished speaking, Shen Siqing called again: "Mom..."

"..." Shen Shili's pupils darkened.

He withdrew the hand that was wiping his sweat, and looked intently at the little man lying on the bed.

His eyes are closed, his eyelashes are long.

"Qingqing..."

Shen Siqing slept soundly, but it just happened to be a nightmare.

After he finished reading the three titles, Shen Siqing hugged the rocket-shaped doll in his arms.

"Play with……"

Shen Siqing talked to himself in his sleep.

Hearing his dream clearly, Shen Shili's pupils were filled with pain.

Mom and Dad Qingqing play together.

He has never said such things to him, but he said such sleepy words, and smiled so happily...

Shen Shili's Adam's apple slid up and down unbearably.

Because of his son's mention, his eyes became lonely.

Shen Shili closed his eyes heavily, sat on the side of his bed and let out a deep breath.

He rested his elbows on his knees, his palms on his forehead, lost in his own thoughts.

until.

I don't know how long it has passed.

A figure appeared beside him.

Lin Zhiqing sat next to him, put her hand on his shoulder: "President Shen, what's wrong with you?"

Her voice was soft, and she looked at him with concern: "What happened?"

Lin Zhiqing's arrival and greetings pulled Shen Shili back from his thoughts.

He opened his eyes and looked sideways.

When his gaze was fixed on Lin Zhiqing's hand on his shoulder, his sharp gaze was like a knife, causing Lin Zhiqing to withdraw her hand immediately, and explained with a smile:

"I just care about you."

"I am fine."

As Shen Shili said, he retracted his gaze and let out another breath.

He looked to the other side, seeing his son An Ran's sleeping face, his eyes couldn't bear it.

"I just thought, maybe I did something wrong from the start."

Shen Shili smiled wryly and raised his lips: "If I hadn't been so self-righteous then, maybe I could have given Si Qing a happy home."

Lin Zhiqing's smile froze after hearing his subtext.

"You can also give him a happy home now..."

Shen Shili didn't answer.

Seeing his figure with his back turned to her, Lin Zhiqing clenched her hands unwillingly.

She held on to her calm emotions and asked knowingly: "Mr. Shen, did you see her at the wedding today?"

"..." Shen Shili's Adam's apple slipped.

It was hard for him to say it, but he had to admit the reality: "No, she didn't come."

"So, it's just your wishful thinking."

Lin Zhiqing told him: "From the moment she decided to leave the child in your care, it means that she is no longer ready to give the child a happy family. If that's the case, why are you obsessed with it?"

Hearing what she said, Shen Shili's face darkened a bit.

He tightened his jawline and said displeasedly, "It's my fault."

"You are right, she is too mean."

Lin Zhiqing commented: "Mr. Shen knew that you were married, but you secretly gave birth to a child. If she didn't want to raise her, then she just didn't want to stay. If she didn't want to raise her after she was born, she threw it to you on purpose. It's not because she deliberately wanted to destroy you. Did your marriage add to your originally peaceful life?"

"Since the two have separated, shouldn't they be well?"

She continued: "Besides, didn't she start a new relationship abroad? Why bother to revenge you like this. The child is innocent after all, why should he bear this? In my opinion, her purpose is to make you suffer like this... ..."

"Too despicable and scheming!"

Lin Zhiqing's continuous complaints brought Shen Shili's dissatisfaction.

"Lin Zhiqing."

He called her in a bad tone.

"..." Only then did Lin Zhiqing realize his emotions, and she hurriedly made amends, "Mr. Shen, I'm here to fight for you. Over the years, you have been taking care of the baby with all your heart. I just think that you don't have to do it because of him. And never forget her."

"Such a cruel woman is not worth your concern."

Lin Zhiqing's conclusion made Shen Shili's heart ache.

Is it because of the child that he never forgets her?

no.

He couldn't forget her, purely because of himself.

But Lin Zhiqing had a good point.

Perhaps it was because of her love for him that she kept the child.

But she threw the child to him, which proves that she no longer loves him, let alone want to form a perfect family with them.

She doesn't want to have any more contact with them.

Thinking of this, Shen Shili let out a sigh of relief, and said to Lin Zhiqing, "It's getting late, go and rest, I will be with Si Qing tonight."

Seeing that he didn't want to mention it again, Lin Zhiqing hesitated to speak: "Boss Shen..."

Shen Shili did not respond.

Lin Zhiqing was not reconciled, so she took the initiative to say: "Mr. Shen, even if Ms. Ye doesn't like the baby, you don't have to feel sorry for the baby. I will do my best to make up for the love he lacks, and I will do my best to take good care of the baby. .”

"I know."

Shen Shili still turned his back to her: "Since you took the initiative to take this job, you have been doing very well."

Hearing what he said, Lin Zhiqing's eyes flashed with joy.

But then, she heard him continue to say: "But you are not his mother after all."

His words made the light in Lin Zhiqing's eyes disappear instantly.

She bit her lip unwillingly, and impulsively said without thinking: "So? You don't plan to wait for the cooperation between you and Ms. Ye to get back together with her? But have you ever thought that if Si Qing knew that he was Isn't it a kind of harm to him to be abandoned by his biological mother? He..."

Lin Zhiqing didn't finish her sentence.

Shen Shili with harsh intuition interrupted her: "Enough!"

His tone was uncompromising, and there was no tenderness anymore.

"..." Lin Zhiqing was forced to keep silent, "Boss Shen, I..."

"I know you're telling me all this for Si Qing's sake, but it's not your turn to worry about my housework."

Shen Shili's tone gradually turned cold: "Your task is to take good care of Secretary Si. Apart from that, there is nothing else."
