The CEO's wife, suffering from terminal cancer, is filled with regret!

Xiao Bu nodded vigorously, her big eyes sparkling as she looked at Shen Qingqing. "Sister Qingqing, Xiao Bu is the most obedient. Even Grandpa Dean praised me."

Hearing this, Shen Qingqing smiled and ruffled Xiao Bu's hair, "Good boy."

After she finished speaking, she turned to look at the dean standing not far from her and walked over.

"Teacher Li, it's been a long time."

When the dean saw Shen Qingqing, a kind smile appeared on his face. "Qingqing and Nanchen, you've finally come! The children have been talking about you every day."

"We just happened to have some free time today, so we came to visit you."

After answering with a smile, Shen Qingqing lowered her head to tease the child in her arms.

Standing behind Shen Qingqing, watching her play with the children, I couldn't help but feel a surge of warmth in my heart.

Later, Shen Qingqing put down Xiaobu and sat among the children, playing games with them.

Watching this scene, I suddenly understood why Shen Qingqing wanted to come to the orphanage at this time.

For her, the orphanage was her home.

While they were playing games, Mr. Li Jingtao walked up to me without me noticing.

"Nanchen, is something bothering Qingqing?"

I turned to look at Teacher Li Jingtao and nodded slightly. "Yes, something has happened in her family recently."

Upon hearing this, Teacher Li Jingtao sighed helplessly.

“I knew it. I could tell she was upset the moment she arrived today. This child has had a hard life since she was little. I thought she could finally have a better life after returning to the Shen family, but I never expected this…”

In the end, Mr. Li Jingtao's tone was full of heartache.

I pursed my lips and said, "Teacher Li Jingtao, don't worry, I will always be with Qingqing."

When Teacher Li Jingtao heard what I said, he turned to look at me with a hint of relief in his eyes. "With you by her side, I feel very at ease."

"Don't worry, I will take good care of her."

I solemnly promised.

Upon hearing this, Teacher Li Jingtao patted me on the shoulder and said, "Good boy, I believe in you."

After saying this, he turned and walked in the other direction.

I remained standing there, watching Shen Qingqing play with the children.

Shen Qingqing maintained a warm smile, as if nothing had happened.

But I know she must be feeling really bad.

I recalled what Su Jinyun had just said, and a sense of doubt crept into my mind.

Is Shen Wankun really the mastermind behind her parents' deaths?

If that's really the case, how heartbroken Shen Qingqing must be.

I was lost in thought when I suddenly heard Shen Qingqing calling me, "Nan Chen, come play games with us!"

I snapped out of my daze, looked at the bright smile on her face, felt a warmth in my heart, and nodded in agreement: "Okay."

After saying that, I walked over to them and joined the group playing the game.

Time passed quickly and it was evening in the blink of an eye.

After saying a reluctant goodbye to the children, we left the orphanage.

On the way back, Shen Qingqing remained quietly leaning against the seat, looking at the scenery outside the window.

I didn't bother her, I just stayed with her quietly, and I knew she was feeling much better now.

After an unknown amount of time, Shen Qingqing suddenly spoke up, "Nanchen, if... if my grandfather really is the murderer who killed my parents, what should I do?"

My heart skipped a beat, and I quickly turned to look at her.

"Qingqing, the matter hasn't been investigated yet. Maybe it wasn't your grandfather who did it."

Hearing my words, Shen Qingqing turned to look at me, a bitter smile on her lips. "What are the odds of that happening?"

I pursed my lips, unsure how to answer her.

Shen Qingqing chuckled self-deprecatingly, "Forget it, it's too early to talk about these things now. Let's wait until Jin Yun has investigated and found out what's going on."

"it is good."

I responded softly and continued driving.

I spent that night with her.

The next morning, we were awakened by a ringing bell.

It was a call from Shen Zhixia.

As soon as Shen Qingqing answered the phone, she sat up and asked nervously, "Jinyun, is there a result?"

"Yes."

Su Jinyun responded and then told her the results of her investigation: "Shen Wankun's medicine is not the problem. It is indeed medicine for saving patients, but he is not sick."

"what?"

I uttered two words in shock and immediately turned to look at Shen Qingqing.

Upon hearing this result, Shen Qingqing's face turned deathly pale.

Her hand holding the phone trembled slightly, her lips moved but she couldn't utter a single word.

I reached out and took her hand, wanting to give her some strength, but found that her hand was frighteningly cold.

"Qingqing, don't worry."

"Jinyun, are you sure this is true?"

I asked, my tone tinged with disbelief.

Su Jinyun replied in a deep voice over the phone: "I'm sure. I went to check it myself. There's nothing wrong with his medicine, but he's perfectly healthy. He's faking his illness."

Upon hearing Su Jinyun's words, Shen Qingqing suddenly exclaimed, "He...he really was lying to me!"

Su Jinyun was silent for a few seconds before continuing, "Qingqing, don't be too sad."

Shen Qingqing nodded slightly and uttered a sentence in a low voice.

"Okay, I understand, thank you Jinyun."

After hanging up the phone, Shen Qingqing sat quietly on the bed, lost in thought.

I turned to look at her and asked with concern, "Qingqing, what are you planning to do next?"

Shen Qingqing only came to her senses when she heard my voice.

She turned to look at me, her eyes full of determination, "To the hospital."

When we arrived at the hospital, Shen Wankun had not yet been transferred from the intensive care unit to a regular ward.

I went to his attending physician to apply for permission to visit him in the intensive care unit. After going through several disinfection procedures, we successfully entered the intensive care unit.

Shen Wankun lay pale on the hospital bed, the ventilator still running.

Shen Qingqing gave a mocking smirk, walked directly towards Shen Wankun, and reached out to remove his oxygen mask.

Shen Wankun's brows furrowed involuntarily, but he still forced himself to remain lying motionless on the hospital bed.

The next second, Shen Qingqing's mocking voice rang out in the ward, "Shen Wankun, stop pretending, I know you're not sick."

Upon hearing Shen Qingqing's words, Shen Wankun suddenly opened his eyes, which had been tightly closed, a hint of surprise flashing in them.

"When did you know that?"

Looking at Shen Wankun's appearance, Shen Qingqing felt her anger rising.

She laughed angrily, "Shen Wankun, why did you pretend to be sick to deceive me!"

Shen Wankun looked at Shen Qingqing indifferently and said in a deep voice, "If I don't pretend to be sick, how can you, as a daughter of the Shen family, fulfill your duties? What am I supposed to do?"
