The boss has no descendants, but he encounters four smaller versions of himself

Just then, four little ones came running in.

Erbao held a familiar, exquisite box in his hands, inside which was the signature cake they had specially gone to "Manman Dessert" to buy.

Erbao handed the box to Wen Xiaoman, tilted his little face up, and comforted her, "Auntie Xiaoman, when you feel sad, you should eat a sweet cake. It will make you feel better. This is what we bought for you."

Wen Xiaoman took the cake box covered in logos and said softly, "Thank you..."

The sweet aroma of the cake wafted through the air; this was the sweet kingdom that Qiao Sinian had quietly created for her, a kingdom that spanned the globe.

After taking a bite, Wen Xiaoman felt an even stronger sourness in her heart.

Qiao Sinian, will you ever wake up?

......

Before I knew it, a week had passed.

During this week, Wen Xiaoman stayed by Qiao Sinian's side almost every step of the way, holding his hand, talking to him, reminiscing about their past, and hoping for a miracle.

However, the man on the hospital bed remained like a sleeping prince, his face serene but lifeless, showing no sign of waking up.

Hope is gradually eroded in this daily silence.

That day, the four little ones walked over with their heads drooping and looking somewhat embarrassed.

Da Bao spoke first: "Aunt Xiao Man, we have to go back to the capital first."

Erbao quickly added a reason, his little face full of "It's not that we don't want to stay": "It's just that Daddy calls us every day and says that if we don't go back, Daddy will come and drag us away himself."

Sanbao continued, "Daddy said that we've been out with Mommy for too long, and my little sister misses us."

Si Bao curled his lip and mercilessly exposed, "Tch, that's not it at all. I think Daddy just misses Mommy and is making excuses to get us back!"

Su Yutang blushed: "Don't talk nonsense."

She turned to Wen Xiaoman and explained, "When we go back this time, we can also bring Yan Yan to stay with us for a while."

Just as the group finished discussing their itinerary, Wen Xiaoman, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up: "I'll go back with you."

Upon hearing this, Su Yutang and her four children were stunned and looked at her in surprise.

The children asked in unison, "Auntie Xiaoman, aren't you...aren't you going to stay here with Uncle Si Nian?"

Wen Xiaoman frowned, her gaze falling on Qiao Sinian's sleeping face, and said, "Waiting here... is no use. I've waited long enough, but he... still hasn't woken up."

She turned her gaze back to Su Yutang and the children, "And I also want to go back and see Xiao Ayan. I miss him very much."

Suddenly, as if remembering something, she added, "Also, I plan to go back this time, finish the divorce proceedings with Lin An... and then get a marriage certificate with Si Nian."

Everyone was even more surprised upon hearing this.

Qiao Sinian is still unconscious and his life hangs in the balance, while Wen Xiaoman is already considering getting a marriage certificate.

Seeing their surprised expressions, Wen Xiaoman smiled faintly and explained softly, "I want to be on the same household registration as him, so we can be husband and wife in a proper way."

Her gaze fell once more on the silent man on the hospital bed: "That way, he'll never be able to shake me off again."

In her heart, she had already made a decision.

Sinian, whether you wake up or not, no matter how long we can stay together, in this life, even if we are only legally married for a short time, I want to be with you.

That red marriage certificate was the only bond between them.

After hearing Wen Xiaoman's decision, the four children all expressed their agreement and support.

Erbao was the first to clap and cheer: "That's a great idea! When Uncle Sinian wakes up and finds out he's married, it will definitely be a huge surprise!"

Sanbao nodded repeatedly, then thought of a more practical approach: "Yes, that way, Xiao Ayan will have a daddy and a mommy, and he'll have a complete family!"

Sibao shook her little head and concluded in her childish voice, "Not bad, not bad, Aunt Xiaoman, your idea is very brave!"

Wen Xiaoman nodded and asked, "When do we set off?"

Da Bao was extremely efficient and immediately replied, "The plane is ready and can depart at any time."

Su Yutang also considered the follow-up arrangements and said to Wen Xiaoman, "We will leave enough people here to take turns guarding the place so that we can receive any news as soon as possible. In addition, Mr. and Mrs. Qiao are also here. They will do their best to protect their son and prevent any further accidents from happening to Qiao Sinian."

Wen Xiaoman glanced gratefully at Su Yutang and said softly, "Okay, I believe you."

She paused, then looked again at Qiao Sinian, who was sleeping soundly on the hospital bed, her eyes filled with tenderness and longing. "However, before I leave, I want to leave him something."

She wanted him to know that no matter whether he woke up or not, no matter what the future held, she cared about him and loved him deeply.

This love will not falter because of death, nor will it change with the passage of time.

These past few days, staying by her bedside, she has gradually come to terms with things.

Death is the inevitable fate that everyone will face. We should not be afraid to have or love deeply just because we are afraid of losing it.

Because life is finite, we should cherish the present moment even more, and bravely express and strive for what we want.

After Wen Xiaoman left behind what she wanted to give to Qiao Sinian, the group returned to the capital on a private plane that same day.

Unbeknownst to them, shortly after they left, a commotion arose in the quiet ward.

As evening approached, Qiao Sinian's eyelids twitched a few times, and he slowly opened them a crack, revealing his deep eyes.

Ah-Yi and Ah-Yong, who had been watching over him closely, saw it immediately.

The two of them jumped up from their chairs instantly, both surprised and delighted, almost unable to believe their eyes.

"Master, you...you're awake?"

The two were incredibly excited.

God knows, they had almost given up hope, thinking that their master would be in a coma for another year or two, or even... never wake up again.

After all, this time the coma lasted an exceptionally long time, a full week.

Unexpectedly, another miracle occurred!

Qiao Sinian slowly opened his eyes, adjusting to the light. He frowned slightly as his hazy consciousness gradually returned, but his mind was still somewhat foggy and he felt weak all over.

He moved his chapped lips, his voice hoarse: "Help...me up..."

Ah Yi and Ah Yong quickly stepped forward, one on each side, and carefully helped Qiao Sinian sit up from the bed. They placed several soft pillows behind him and fed him water.

Qiao Sinian turned his stiff and sore neck, his gaze unconsciously sweeping over the bedside table next to him.

His gaze settled on the cabinet, where he saw something.
