Chapter 148 Shen Qingyan revisits Qiao Qiao's past life

Shen Qingyan entered a dream again.

But this dream was different from his previous ones; he was awake from the moment he entered the dream.

He knew perfectly well that he was dreaming.

In his dream, he saw Long Yijun's entire journey from running away from home, discovering her pregnancy, to giving birth.

He watched as the woman he loved most gave birth to a beautiful daughter.

His daughter was born healthy and beautiful; in his eyes, she was the most perfect treasure in the world.

Because there wasn't enough time to return the child to his side, his wife could only make some preparations and then place the child for adoption at the entrance of Qiaojia Village.

He was picked up by Qiao Changdong, who had just spent the night in town.

Seeing this, Shen Qingyan was very anxious. He stretched out his hands, trying to snatch his swaddling daughter, but his hands passed right through their bodies.

He then realized that he was dreaming.

The Joe family took his treasure.

He was very worried and anxious.

Fortunately, apart from a woman surnamed Chen, no one in the Qiao family, including Qiao Changdong, neglected the child in the slightest because the child was adopted or because she was a girl.

On the contrary, they loved her very much.

He doted on his daughter from a tiny little dumpling until she was eight years old.

The eight-year-old girl has grown into a beautiful and adorable young woman. She loves to laugh, and when she does, her eyebrows curve into crescents, and her eyes sparkle with a delicate light.

Shen Qingyan felt a warmth in his heart simply by watching from the sidelines.

Shen Qingyan witnessed the little girl's growth.

He thought his little girl would remain healthy and happy until she grew up, got married, had children, and lived a happy life.

But,

But--

Why?

Shen Qingyan stared with bloodshot eyes at Shen Qingrong, who held a fake paternity test result, walked up to the Qiao family, and forcibly took away his little girl.

His fists clenched so tightly they cracked, and he repeatedly choked the other person's neck.

But it didn't work.

It's completely useless.

He clearly sensed that he was dreaming, and that he could do nothing but watch.

He could only watch helplessly as Shen Qingrong threatened the Qiao family, then, ignoring the little girl's desperate cries, forcibly took her to Kyoto and hid her in a small suburban villa far from the city.

The little girl, confined to a small suburban house, stopped smiling, and her once bright eyes lost their sparkle.

He would often huddle in a small corner, staring blankly, constantly calling out something.

Her pillow was always wet, and even in her sleep, there were tear stains on the corners of her eyes.

What Shen Qingyan found even more unacceptable was that the nanny in Shen Qingrong's house actually told his little girl that she was Shen Qingrong's illegitimate daughter born out of wedlock!

Looking at the bewildered and melancholy little girl.

Shen Qingyan forgot he was dreaming again. He reached out to hold her shoulders, pull her into his arms, and tell her that she was not an illegitimate child.

She is his daughter, Shen Qingyan's daughter.

She is the most precious treasure born after Shen Qingyan and Long Yijun legally married!

But--

He couldn't tell her.

He could only watch helplessly as his little girl died.

He died on the operating table.

Shen Qingrong tied his little girl to the operating table, cut open her abdomen, removed her heart and kidneys, and used this to prolong the lives of his twin daughters.

Shen Qingyan's heart was torn apart inch by inch, bleeding profusely. He was in so much pain that he knelt on the ground and couldn't get up.

"Shen Qingrong, Shen Qingrong!"

"Commander, Commander?" A distant call rang in my ears.

Shen Qingyan suddenly opened his eyes, grabbed the other person's hand that was touching his shoulder, and pinned the other person to the bed, choking the other person's neck, his eyes filled with cold icy intent.

"Commander... it's me, it's Di Zixuan!" Di Zixuan, who was pinned to the bed with his back to Shen Qingyan, felt the force choking him and called out for help.

Shen Qingyan stared at the person for several seconds before slowly letting go of their hand.

But the murderous intent and chill in his eyes did not subside; on the contrary, they became even more intense.

"Commander, did you have another nightmare?" After gaining his freedom, Di Zixuan took several steps back until he felt safe and stopped, then asked Shen Qingyan, whose chin bore teeth marks, with a puzzled look.

Shen Qingyan remained silent, staring at the empty room, momentarily unable to distinguish between dream and reality.

It wasn't until his gaze fell on the doorway not far away, and he saw a pair of pink overshoes on the shelf, that he remembered what had happened before he fell into a coma.

"Where are they? Where are they? Where are the children?"

“They went to the hospital, and Madam went with them. She told me to stay here until you wake up, and to make sure you don’t delay and go to the hospital to meet her as soon as you wake up,” Di Zixuan replied.

Seeing the still-bloody teeth mark on his chin, and recalling the name he had called out while he was unconscious, Di Zixuan wanted to ask, but Shen Qingyan, having received confirmation, got up, turned around, and walked out.

Di Zixuan touched his still-aching neck, and could only swallow his doubts for the time being, reluctantly following behind.

——

Hospital.

In the second-floor corridor.

Qiao Qiao sat on a long bench, holding the malted milk powder that her grandmother had prepared for her that morning. She sipped it slowly, her short legs swinging idly as she waited obediently for the Qiao family to conduct the examination in the room inside.

This time, in addition to Grandma Qiao's check-up, Qiao Changdong and three others will also be going for the check-up.

Qiao Qiao waited in the corridor outside the hospital, with Yan Liti by her side, who volunteered to take good care of her.

The Qiao family was actually still not entirely at ease with Yan Liti.

However, Yan Liti said that Shen Qingyan was still unconscious at the guesthouse, and with him as a "hostage," they could rest assured! She would never take advantage of their absence to abduct him.

The Qiao family all felt that something was off about what he said.

But then he thought that since the misunderstanding had been cleared up, he should give her some trust and a reward, since they were still waiting for them to deal with Shen Qingrong, so he temporarily entrusted Qiao Qiao to her.

However, despite the entrustment, the Qiao family members, who were scattered in different examination rooms, would still occasionally peek out from their rooms to make sure the person was still there.

Qiao Changdong repeatedly instructed her to shout for help if anything seemed wrong, assuring her that he would rush out to save her immediately.

"Baby." Looking at the little one sitting obediently, Yan Liti moved her bottom and snuggled closer to her.

Qiao Qiao raised her head, revealing an excessively beautiful little face. Her long eyelashes fluttered as she looked at Yan Liti, who had called her, with a puzzled expression, as if silently asking what was wrong.

"Is the stool cold?" Yan Liti pointed to the wooden bench she was sitting on.

Qiao Qiao wanted to answer that she wasn't cold because she was wearing three pairs of pants: underpants, wool pants, and the cotton-padded pants that Qiao Changdong had bought for her a few days ago. They were all warm.
