Chapter 460: A Fool's Dream

Song Zhai.

Song Siming is reading in the study.

"Still up so late?" Li Haiyan walked in with a bowl of steaming shrimp and wontons.

Li Haiyan just turned 50 this year. She was wearing a simple but not simple silk nightgown, exuding an elegant and noble atmosphere in her every move.

Unlike other wealthy ladies, her eyes are always full of warmth.

Her gentleness is as natural as her beauty.

You can see the traces of time on her face, but there is no regret at all.

It seems that this is what beauty should be like, growing old gracefully after blooming.

She is still beautiful as she gets older, without any trace of modification.

Song Siming looked up at Li Haiyan and was momentarily absent-minded.

If Shu Lin were still here, would she be as gentle and elegant as she was, and would cook supper for him late at night?

Bai Shulin's face and Li Haiyan's face gradually overlapped, and Song Siming frowned slightly. They obviously had completely different looks and personalities, but for a moment, he actually saw the shadow of Bai Shulin in Li Haiyan.

Seeing Song Siming looking at him in a daze, Li Haiyan stepped forward with a smile and pushed the shrimp wontons in front of him.

"Eat it while it's hot."

Song Siming came back to his senses and faced his wife, feeling a little guilty.

"Bai Zhi...is she and your daughter?" Li Haiyan moved a chair and sat next to Song Siming, looking at him tenderly.

Song Siming's hand holding the spoon paused: "You know everything? Did Xiao Cheng tell you?"

"Xiaocheng didn't say it, I guessed it." Li Haiyan's eyes turned into crescents when she didn't smile. When she didn't smile, she was his gentle and virtuous wife. When she smiled, she turned into that cunning fox.

After twenty-five years of marriage, he had no secrets that he could hide from her.

What's more, he had no intention of hiding it from her.

"Yes, she is Shu Lin's child." Song Siming paused, "You already know what happened before, and I only found out about what happened later. Shu Lin had Xiaozhi at that time, and she ate a lot by herself. bitter……"

Song Siming slowly told Li Haiyan that they were a young couple who had overcome many difficulties together and always talked about everything.

In the first few years after his marriage, his heart was devoted to Bai Shulin, and the internal strife in the family was severe. In those years, he was depressed and frustrated.

Li Haiyan remained silent, silently accompanying him, encouraging him, acting as his military advisor, and facing all matters at home and in the company together.

They are partners, a perfect partner, and a couple who share the same mind.

After experiencing internal strife within the family, major changes in the Song Group, etc., Song Siming gradually let go of Bai Shulin and completely accepted Li Haiyan.

And Li Haiyan also made a perfect exit from the battlefield-like shopping mall and returned to her family to take care of her husband and children.

But Song Siming has since developed the habit of discussing everything with his wife, no matter how big or small. Although Li Haiyan has withdrawn from the battlefield, she can always give him some constructive suggestions at critical moments.

The most taboo thing for a husband and wife to get along is concealment. If there is concealment, there will be suspicion, suspicion will breed secrets, and the family will naturally be uneasy.

As the saying goes, if there is no concealment, there is no debt.

Song Siming didn't hide anything from Li Haiyan. Even if there was always a corner deep in his heart that belonged to Bai Shulin, Li Haiyan knew it.

After listening to Song Siming finish talking about Bai Zhi, Li Haiyan's eyes were slightly wet: "What a stupid woman, how can she be so stupid?"

Li Haiyan sympathized with Bai Shulin sincerely.

"You have nothing else to ask me?" Song Siming looked at his wife sincerely.

"What are you asking? If you had known that Bai Shulin was pregnant with Xiaozhi, would you have abandoned me to find her?"

Li Haiyan smiled and shook her head, "If I were twenty or even ten years younger, I might ask such a childish question, but now that I am 50 years old, can I still care about the future and the past with you?"

Song Siming nodded, knowing that his wife was telling the truth: "It's true, but do you really not mind at all?"

"Mind, how come you don't mind?" Li Haiyan raised her eyebrows, pretending to be jealous, "When I was young, I minded. I minded that the person I loved deeply was pretending to be someone else.

In order to make you fall in love with me, I eat what she likes to eat, read the books she likes to read, and cook her favorite dishes.

When I finally got you to look at me differently because of what I did, I felt happy and sad at the same time. I'm glad that you finally set your sights on me, but it's sad that I have become someone else's shadow. "

Song Siming held his wife's hand, and the shame in his eyes became even stronger.

"I know you can't let go of her in your heart, but there's nothing you can do about it. Who told me to meet you sooner than she did?

Take ten thousand steps back, if you are really so heartless and righteous, that would be scary.

Siming, don't worry, even when I was young, I was only envious of her. What's more, now that I'm over fifty, how can I be so jealous? "

After listening to Li Haiyan's words, Song Siming felt more and more admiration in his heart. The admiration was mixed with deep guilt. Over the years, he had always cared for her too little.

Song Siming knew that Li Haiyan was the smartest person in Jiang City and the most transparent person in life.

But he didn't expect that she was not only smart and transparent, but also so open-minded.

"Thank you." Song Siming squeezed Li Haiyan's hand, paused, and then asked, "Then are you willing to accept Xiaozhi?"

"Why don't you accept it? It's not like you don't know that I have always wanted a daughter." Speaking of her daughter, Li Haiyan felt a little regretful in her heart, "God took pity on me and gave me a daughter out of thin air. It was too late for me to be happy."

Song Siming let go of Li Haiyan's hand, scooped a wonton with a spoon and fed it to Li Haiyan: "Thank you."

"Who asked you to thank me." Li Haiyan pretended to be angry, "I am a fan of Xiaozhi. When I watched "The Secret", I thought that such a beautiful person must be a fairy who came down to earth to overcome the tribulation. I didn't expect that this fairy came from our family."

Song Siming was amused by Li Haiyan's words and scooped another mouthful of soup and fed it to her mouth.

"But, what will Xiaozhi and Lu Juefeng do in the future?" Speaking of Lu Juefeng, Li Haiyan was a little worried, "The Lu and Song families have such a big hatred, I'm afraid..."

"Lu Juefeng wants to marry my daughter, that's a foolish dream!" Song Siming's tone became cold and hard when he mentioned Lu Juefeng, "Not to mention that my Song family and they are irreconcilable, just because they dared to let my daughter have a child out of wedlock, I will not let them go.

As for Xiaozhi's marriage, I will find her another reliable family and never let her suffer any grievances again."

"This matter still needs to be considered in the long run, and you should not scare the child." Li Haiyan thought about it and comforted her husband, "Don't worry, I will help Xiaozhi pay attention and make sure to find you a satisfactory son-in-law."

"Thank you, Haiyan." Song Siming looked at his wife gently, sincerely thanking her for her open-mindedness and understanding.

Li Haiyan stretched out her finger and smiled, "It's not over yet, right? You said it three times today."

Song Siming laughed and held Li Haiyan's hand tightly.
