Chapter 1603: You Are My Little Love Song (170)
Lele was already asleep.
It had been many days since she came back to accompany her. The little girl begged her to tell her several stories before finally falling asleep.
Shi Niange tucked the blanket on Lele up and looked at her soft little face. She curved her lips and smiled. Then she picked up her phone to look at the time and put it down. She leaned against the head of the bed quietly, but she did not feel sleepy.
In the past few years, she had been used to working late every night and socializing outside. She barely slept more than five hours a day, or even less. It was rare for her to sleep before midnight. It was not even midnight yet. The four years of biological clock habit made it difficult for her to sleep immediately even if she closed her eyes.
She was usually too busy. It was rare for her to have a night off. Furthermore, she did not have to wake up early to go to the company tomorrow. She could rest at home for the whole day tomorrow to accompany her child. She was even less tired.
She leaned against the bed in a daze for a long time before she gradually returned to her senses. After some thought, she took out a small box from the bedside drawer and an old phone from the small box.
This was the phone she had four years ago. Now, there were all sorts of new phones scattered all over the streets and alleys. The touchscreen phone that could still be flipped back then was no longer visible outside.
As it had been a long time since she last touched it, the phone’s battery had already been depleted. She searched under the drawer for a while and found an old charger. She plugged it in and heard the unfamiliar and slightly transmigrated familiar sound of the phone being turned on. It was a very soft chord music and did not wake Lele who was already asleep.
The phone screen that she had not touched for a long time lit up. Looking at the time and background map displayed on it, Shi Niange’s mind went into a daze.
At least… It had been two years since she last opened this phone.
A long, long time ago, the sweet messages she had carefully saved on her phone had long been deleted by Xiao Da. This phone kept the messages she had received from Qin Siting when she returned to Hai City for the last time four years ago.
There was only a small record.
She opened the mailbox and looked at the words and messages displayed on her phone from four years ago. She read them one by one.
She saw the contents of the last message.
[Qin Siting, let’s break up.]
He did not reply.
For four whole years, he did not reply.
She had a breakdown and a night of madness. The next day, she left before dawn. She wanted to know the consequences of seeing this message when he woke up.
Qin Siting was tolerant of her, provided she knew how to protect the love they cherished and protected.
Her heartlessness and decisiveness back then were all reflected in the words of that night and the message.
She was so determined that she did not even leave a single word. Even the breakup was only a message.
If she were Qin Siting, she wouldn’t have forgiven her for treating love as a joke.
Shi Niange gently caressed the phone screen. Qin Siting had sent her the last message and the last message she had sent herself. Her fingers gently caressed it over and over again. Then, she leaned her head back and looked up at the dim wall lamp.
In the past four years, she had spent four years helping Shida Group recover from its negative assets. It was no longer full on the outside and hollow on the inside. The company’s intrinsic assets and liquid assets could finally operate as per normal. The investment that Auntie Bai had sponsored could now be officially profitable. Everything was finally developing in a good direction.
For four years, her youth were all used to support this company. However, the problems of those senior executives and directors were still present. It was just that it was not as obvious as before. After all, the money she had personally pulled back from Auntie Bai and the shares she had, even in the eyes of everyone, was still qualified to be promoted. Four years was enough for her to stand firm, enough for those people to shut up.
But they were still here.
Not to mention those directors, her own uncle had been eyeing her covetously and never approved of a little girl stepping on their heads.
However, this young lady had too many shares in the company. A few years ago, when her father was still alive, although he could only sit in the wheelchair every day, he was at least conscious. He could still tell her many things about the company and explain the situation to her. Because of her father, those people did not dare to be brazen.
Now that she had found her footing, her father was very assured when he left. She even remembered that on that day, her father was holding her mother’s favorite pearl necklace. The necklace was not very valuable, but it was a love token from her parents more than twenty years ago. Her mother had liked it for many years.
As she had lived in a happy family since she was young, when Shi Niange first discovered that she was pregnant, she thought that perhaps she and Qin Siting would never have a future together. However, because this was her and Qin Siting’s child, she could not bear to abort it, even if… she had to give birth alone and raise the child… She hid it from everyone and went to the hospital for a prenatal checkup. The first time she heard the baby’s heart, she finally shed her first tears since returning from Hai City.
Did you hear that, Qin Siting? In my body, there is another person’s heartbeat. This person is our baby. I have a baby.
She walked all the way until she gave birth to Lele. At that time, when she gave the child a name, she was actually a little confused. After all, she had just given birth. Auntie Xiang carried the child to her bedside and said that the baby was especially cute. She asked her what name she wanted to give the baby.
At that time, she looked at the light with her eyes wide open and said, “I don’t know. I’ve never named a kitten or a puppy. I only hope that she can be safe, healthy, and cute when she grows up. She’ll always be happy without any worries.”
Auntie Xiang said, “Why don’t we call her Shi Lele? It’s simple and pleasant to listen to. It’s not that complicated. Let’s be happy.”
At that time, she laid there and thought for a while before saying, “Why don’t we call it ‘Shi Kele[1]’? It’s cute and cute, and it’ll quench my thirst.”
Shi Keke would never have thought that the reason her name was so confirmed was because her mother had cried out in pain in the delivery room for too long when she was born. Her voice was hoarse, and she was thirsty for a long time but could not drink water. And because of this reason… her name was Shi Keke.
Shi Niange turned to look at Xiao Le who was sleeping beside her.
The little girl was still young. Although she was very smart and sharp-tongued, because she had Auntie Xiang and her by her side since she was young, she was very well protected and had never been bullied. She had a good relationship with the children in the kindergarten and the teachers liked her. Even now, she didn’t understand what the word ‘father’ meant.
