During Zan Zan's hospitalization, Song Qinian moved into the hospital to better care for and accompany him.
Shen Chi Yan was very busy during the day and would visit the hospital every night to be with her and Zan Zan.
Zan Zan's hospital room had two beds, and Song Qinian slept on the other one at night.
At night, after Song Qinian had lulled Zan Zan to sleep, she also got into bed. She had been physically and mentally exhausted lately. It was a relief that Zan Zan's injuries had recovered significantly and he rarely woke up in pain at night. She finally felt at ease.
In the middle of the night, Song Qinian, half-asleep, felt someone kissing her. She slowly opened her eyes and met Shen Chi Yan's dark gaze.
Seeing the bloodshot eyes and tired face, Song Qinian was about to get up when Shen Chi Yan pressed her back onto the bed. "Sorry, I woke you up."
After speaking, he quietly walked to Zan Zan's bedside, gently kissed his small hand, and then climbed back into bed, pulling Song Qinian into his embrace.
Seeing his son and holding his soft wife, Shen Chi Yan's hard heart instantly softened. Before meeting Song Qinian, Shen Chi Yan disliked sleeping with others; he couldn't even lie in the same bed without any physical contact.
However, after sleeping with Song Qinian for a year, he couldn't sleep alone in bed during the two years she was gone.
At that time, he thought that if he ever found Song Qinian again, he would tie her to his bed if necessary.
"If you're busy, you don't have to come over at night."
The hospital was very private and secure. The old lady was also staying at this hospital, and Shen Chi Yan had even sent people to guard them for protection. There was no danger at all.
"I'm not busy. I want to hold you and be with Zan Zan."
Song Qinian nodded drowsily and fell asleep again within seconds.
In the middle of the night, Zan Zan seemed to wake up needing to pee and whimpered a couple of times.
There was a telepathic connection between a mother and her child. Song Qinian was sleeping deeply, and it wasn't Zan Zan's whimper that woke her, but a sudden jolt of awareness that made her realize Zan Zan was awake.
As she was about to get up, Shen Chi Yan kissed her forehead. "Don't move. I'll check on him."
Shen Chi Yan got out of bed and went to see. Indeed, Zan Zan's diaper was wet.
Seeing Shen Chi Yan take out a diaper to change it, Song Qinian, afraid he couldn't handle it, was about to get out of bed to help. Shen Chi Yan stopped her. "Don't you trust me that much?"
Since he had said that, Song Qinian wanted to see if he was capable as a father.
Song Qinian found it impossible to reconcile the decisive CEO Shen, who commanded the business world, with a father changing diapers. The two roles seemed like polar opposites. She wondered if Shen Chi Yan could manage.
However, to her surprise, Shen Chi Yan was so professional at changing diapers and feeding Zan Zan water that he didn't seem like a novice father at all.
Zan Zan was quite happy to see his father, touching Shen Chi Yan's handsome face with his little hand and smiling sweetly at him.
That smile melted Shen Chi Yan's heart. "It's very late now. Our Zan Zan needs to sleep."
Zan Zan nodded obediently and slowly closed his eyes.
After Zan Zan fell asleep, Song Qinian lost her own sleepiness. The two of them went to the bench outside the ward.
Shen Chi Yan handed Song Qinian a glass of hot milk. Song Qinian saw the coffee in his hand, took the coffee, and pushed the milk back to him.
"The doctor said you shouldn't drink coffee right now. You should drink milk obediently!"
Shen Chi Yan: "...But you don't like coffee, do you?"
Song Qinian took a sip of coffee. "I like it now."
After finishing, she even licked the corners of her mouth with her tongue. Shen Chi Yan's dark eyes looked at her deeply for a few seconds, his heart stirred. He suddenly leaned his handsome face towards Song Qinian. "But, I want to drink coffee too."
Song Qinian held up a finger and waved it. "No..."
Before she could finish speaking, Shen Chi Yan's lips were already on hers. His tongue pried open her teeth, savoring the taste of coffee in her mouth.
The corridor was very quiet. As they kissed, they were afraid of disturbing the people in other rooms and dared not make too much noise.
Shen Chi Yan kissed her for a while before releasing her contentedly. "Thank you, wife, for letting me taste sweeter coffee. Also, don't you think we look like we're having an affair right now?"
Song Qinian: "..."
Who has an affair in the hospital so late at night?
"By the way, how do you know how to change diapers?"
Shen Chi Yan chuckled and drank the milk in his hand. He had never liked this milky substance, but ever since he started spending time with Song Qinian, he had gradually accepted it.
Later, after living with Zan Zan for a while, he grew to like the taste.
"Zan Zan lived with me for a period. I couldn't rely on the nanny for everything, so I learned for two hours."
Song Qinian was a little surprised. "You learned in just two hours?"
"Heh... Isn't it something you learn just by looking at it? What's so difficult about that!"
Song Qinian was speechless. She considered herself a studious person who learned things quickly, but she didn't expect Shen Chi Yan to be even more capable.
Learned just by looking.
No wonder he had achieved so much.
"Shen Huan Ling... do you know she likes Li Jun Shen?"
Song Qinian was stunned for a moment, then nodded. "I know."
"Then do you think her kidnapping Zan Zan is related to Li Jun Shen?"
Song Qinian had also suspected this, but she had no evidence.
Seeing Song Qinian's silence, Shen Chi Yan didn't ask further. He pulled her into his arms and leaned her against his shoulder. "Don't worry, I won't let you and Zan Zan be harmed again."
Song Qinian had thought a lot over the past few days. On one hand, there was Shen Chi Yan whom she loved and who loved her. On the other hand, there was Li Jun Shen, who claimed to love her but whom she did not love. She wanted happiness and wanted Zan Zan to have his biological father by his side, so she could no longer be as hesitant as before.
...
After staying in the hospital for over a month, Zan Zan finally recovered and was discharged. The old lady's health also gradually improved.
As for Shen Huan Ling's kidnapping of Zan Zan, since Shen Huan Ling paid with her life, the old lady and Shen Chi Yan found it difficult to hold Shen Zheng Ming accountable.
Furthermore, Ju Hong Lan came to the old lady and played the victim. The old lady's heart softened.
After Zan Zan was discharged, Shen Chi Yan and Song Qinian discussed it, and decided to have Zan Zan stay at the old residence.
The old lady was already very guilty about Zan Zan's incident at the old residence. If they took Zan Zan away again, it might make her feel worse.
Everyone could see how much the old lady doted on Zan Zan. Moreover, she was advanced in age. Letting Zan Zan spend more time with her might improve her mood and help her live to a hundred.
Shen Chi Yan, naturally, wanted to be intimate with his wife. So he directly took Song Qinian to Jing Yuan, and that night, he kept Song Qinian occupied the entire night.
As a result, when Song Qinian woke up the next day, she felt like her whole body was falling apart.
Shen Chi Yan had already gone to work. When she got up, she saw the breakfast Shen Chi Yan had made on the table. He had also left her a note: "Baby, eat your breakfast obediently. If you miss me, send me a WeChat message."
Song Qinian smiled. Her days with Shen Chi Yan always felt sweet and happy. Just then, her phone suddenly rang. Seeing that it was Li Jun Shen calling, the smile on her face disappeared.
However, she still answered the phone. "Hello..."
"Nian Nian, I miss you very much. Can we meet?"
