Chapter 352: Years Pass by (XV)
Wen Jiao's heart was broken into pieces. She was too sad to speak, but she still nodded with the last of her strength.
Shen Zhaoli's brows softened and he held Wen Jiao in his arms, with no gap between them.
"Well, let's think about it together. When Dad comes back, what should we prepare for him? Okay?"
"Okay," Wen Jiao said, "Bian Yue and I will take a leave and will not go to the company during this period."
"Well, don't worry about the Wen Group. I will take care of it. During this time, you just need to stay with your father."
Wen Jiao closed her eyes, and her tears fell on Shen Zhaoli's neck, with a warm and salty taste.
After a long time, Wen Jiao said, "Zhao Li, letting go is actually much harder than holding on."
There was a touch of emotion in Shen Zhaoli's eyes.
He gently patted Wen Jiao's back, his eyes showing a touch of emotion. After a long while, Shen Zhaoli said, "Jiao Jiao, I have always known."
After Wen Yongwei came back, his health has been deteriorating.
The time he was awake for became shorter and shorter, and the longest time he was awake each day was only one tenth.
Every time at this time, Wen Yongwei would talk to Wen Jiao for a while.
They were all simple family conversations, talking about Wen Jiao's childhood and Wen Jiao's mother.
"Your mother was a very beautiful woman. The happiest day of my life was when I married her. Later, she passed away. I thought that as long as I raised you and gave you a good life, I would have done my duty to her. After I go to hell, she won't blame me."
A happy smile appeared on Wen Yongwei's face. He was probably thinking of scenes from the past. Those scenes contained all the fulfillment of his life's aspirations.
The moisture in Wen Jiao's eyes began to spread again.
She burst into tears and choked up, "Dad, don't say these things, I'm scared."
Wen Yongwei touched Wen Jiao's hair, his eyes were full of tenderness and reluctance, "When will Zhaoli come back?"
Wen Jiao said that there was still a period of time when there were a lot of things happening in the Wen Group recently, and Shen Zhaoli was handling them all alone.
After a pause, Wen Jiao asked, "Dad, what did Zhao Li say to you in the hospital? Why did you agree to stay in the hospital for another night?"
"Zhao Li told me that you are simple-minded and only want me to live. If I just want to leave the hospital now, you will be sad. He will help me persuade you and make you change your mind." Wen Yongwei sighed and said, "Jiao Jiao, he really loves you."
Wen Jiao knew.
She is also a very contented person.
Wen Yongwei closed his eyes again, his voice getting weaker, "Jiaojiao, Dad wants to rest for a while, can you go out?"
Wen Jiao looked at Wen Yongwei reluctantly, smiled, and said in a hoarse voice: "Then you have a good rest, and call me anytime if you need anything."
When Shen Zhaoli came back at night, Wen Jiao was sitting on the windowsill in a daze.
There was a hazy rain outside. When Shen Zhaoli came up, he did not lock the car. The black Bugatti Veyron was parked in the courtyard, and the high beam illuminated the raindrops very clearly.
Wen Jiao watched attentively until Shen Zhaoli walked behind her and hugged her gently.
The man's voice was gentle and a little doting, "What are you looking at?"
Wen Jiao said, "Dad is asleep, I'm watching when you come back."
Shen Zhaoli picked up Wen Jiao and put him on the bed.
He squatted down, picked up the slippers beside him and put them on Wen Jiao.
Wen Jiao lowered her head and looked at him for a long time. She said, "Shen Zhaoli, you look really good."
Shen Zhaoli smiled casually, his fox eyes were filled with a casual smile, and he said slowly: "If you really think it's beautiful, why not have a baby? Whether it looks like you or me, it will be beautiful."
Wen Jiao smiled and said, "Okay." Shen Zhaoli's smile froze on his face.
He stared at Wen Jiao in amazement for a long time without saying anything.
Wen Jiao still smiled, "Why aren't you talking? Didn't you say so? Let's have a baby, it would be great if it looks like you or me."
Shen Zhaoli put on the other slipper for Wen Jiao. His eyes were red. He looked up again, and the red at the end of his eyes was deep. "Jiaojiao, do you understand what it means to have a child?"
Wen Jiao understood.
What's not clear?
Every word she said now was carefully considered.
"I know what I'm saying, Shen Zhaoli, I want a child." Wen Jiao said, "The Wen family is too big, I always feel empty, it would be much better if I had a child."
Shen Zhaoli stood up, hugged Wen Jiao, and rubbed her hair. He said with restrained movements: "Jiao Jiao, I can't bear to leave."
There are tens of thousands of kinds of suffering in this world, and it is inevitable for people living in this world to endure them.
Shen Zhaoli wanted to avoid anything that could be avoided as much as possible.
not to mention.
"I know that you are troubled by your father's recent affairs, which is why you have such thoughts. Let's talk about this matter in a while. Jiaojiao, you are still young."
Wen Jiao couldn't help but laugh, "Then you are younger, Shen Zhaoli, you are younger than me."
"Wen Jiao will always be a little girl to me, forever."
Wen Jiao laughed and tears started falling again.
The rain got heavier at night. Wen Jiao was held in Shen Zhaoli's arms and did not sleep all night.
She looked at the rain outside the window, got out of bed several times, and secretly ran to see Wen Yongwei.
Only after making sure that Wen Yongwei was still alive and sleeping soundly did Wen Jiao feel relieved and went back to sleep.
Every time she returned to the room, Shen Zhaoli would hug her again after a moment.
Wen Jiao thought that this was just a subconscious action.
But she didn't know that she was not the only one who hadn't slept all night.
In the following days, Wen Yongwei's condition was still very bad.
Bian Yue and Shen Jinci also came to see the old man.
Shen Jinci apologized to Wen Jiao in a calm tone, which was rare in a thousand years. He said, "I'm sorry, I didn't consider your feelings when I said that in the hospital. Bian Yue has already criticized me."
Wen Jiao saw that Bian Yue was winking at him.
No wonder he had to apologize. This was like a knife being placed on his neck, he had to apologize.
Wen Jiao smiled calmly, "It's okay, they are all small things, big brother, you don't have to take it to heart, my attitude was not good at that time."
When Shen Jinci took Bian Yue away, Wen Yongwei was still happy to see them off to the door, and asked Xiaoxiao if he could come with them next time.
Bian Yue smiled and said, "Xiaoxiao is packing his things at home. He will move in tonight and live with you."
Wen Jiao was slightly surprised.
She sent Bian Yue and Shen Jinci out the door, then asked in a low voice: "Do you really want Xiaoxiao to come over?"
Shen Jinci said: "Bian Xiao wants to come, Bian Yue and I respect his decision."
Wen Jiao heard this with difficulty: "I don't know when my father will get worse, I'm afraid of scaring him"
