âDing Ding, is the woman on this canvas your mommy?â Li Zhenting contemplated for a moment before asking.
Since Shen Mei and Shen Ning were half-sisters and shared some resemblance, it would have made sense if Ding Ding had depicted their mother.
âNo, sheâs not,â Ding Ding immediately denied.
âThen who is she?â Li Zhentingâs expression darkened once again. @@novelbin@@
âSheâs an aunt, a very beautiful and gentle aunt. 1 want only her,â Ding Ding replied without hesitation.
Li Zhentingâs heart sank suddenly. âDo you know her?â he asked immediately.
As Ding Ding began to speak, he noticed his fatherâs intense gaze, as if trying to trap him with his words. The clever little boy dropped his coloring pen, stood up, and shouted, â1 donât know her.â
Then, he rushed over to the sofa where Li Wanqing was reading a newspaper. Climbing onto her, he wrapped his arms around her neck and, with a sweet, childlike tone, he said, âGrandma, 1 donât want any other child psychologist, I only want her.â
âOkay, okay.â The chubby little boyâs body clung to her, and he smelled sweet like milk. Li Wanqing set aside the newspaper and immediately embraced her own grandson, agreeing repeatedly.
At this moment, Li Zhenting already had a foreboding sense that something was not right.
âZhenting, isnât a child psychologist just someone who plays with children and talks to them? Let the child choose for himself. Only when he likes the teacher will he be willing to accept their guidance. Thatâs how you get into a childâs heart. What does a man like you know?â scolded Li Wanqing, her tone full of reproach.
Zhenting was left speechless.
âYou men, if you donât understand children, then donât interfere so much. This matter must be decided by the child,â Li Wanqing sternly ordered.
âYay, thatâs great!â Ding Ding clapped his hands in delight.
Zhenting had a face full of frustration.
âDaddy!â At that moment, Lanlan descended the stairs, wearing a pretty dress and little high-heeled shoes, bounding down towards Zhenting.
She opened her arms and lunged at Zhenting.
Zhenting watched her almost trip down the stairs several times and was so scared that he bent over and picked her up.
âDaddy.â Lanlan wrapped her little arms around Zhentingâs neck and planted a kiss on his face. She smiled and said, âMommy said Daddy is taking me and Ding Ding out to play today, and weâll have dinner together, right?â
âRight.â Zhenting smiled and nodded.
The reason he had come home so early was also because he had planned to take the children out to play today.
However, to his surprise, Ding Ding, who was sitting on Li Wanqingâs lap, shouted loudly, â1 donât want to go, 1 want to stay with Grandma!â
He held onto Li Wanqingâs arm with a look of disdain for them.
âDing Ding.â At that moment, Shen Mei, dressed in a fashionable and alluring one-shoulder dress, stepped out of the elevator. The instant she appeared, she overheard Ding Dingâs words and approached with a radiant smile on her face, speaking warmly.
âToday, Daddy has taken special time to take you and Lanlan out for some fun. If you donât go, youâd be missing out on Daddyâs heartfelt gesture. Weâre starting with a trip to the Aquarium to see the dolphins. Both you and Lanlan can interact with them, take photos, and then weâll head to Yide Resort for some delicious seafood barbecue. Many other kids are enjoying themselves on the beach there.â
Li Wanqing gently caressed Ding Dingâs cheek, her words filled with affection. âDing Ding, come along. Itâll be wonderful to spend time with Daddy and Mommy. Staying at home can get quite dull.â
Ding Ding reluctantly gave in.
âYay, thatâs fantastic, Ding Ding! Letâs hold hands, share our love, and promise not to argue, alright?â Lanlan wriggled out of Zhentingâs embrace, rushed over to Ding Ding, and held his hand, speaking in a playful manner.
Her words brought smiles to everyoneâs faces.
After a little while, the family of four walked outside hand in hand..
