âShen Ning, letâs forget about todayâs incident. Shen Mei has this kind of personality, and you donât need to dwell on it,â Li Zhenting walked over and said after a moment of contemplation.
Shen Ning had a cold expression, âMr. Li, what do you mean by âletâs forget about itâ? Are you suggesting that todayâs incident was my fault? Are you pardoning me without pursuing my responsibility? Let me tell you, thereâs no need for that. I did nothing wrong today. It was your woman who initiated the physical confrontation, pushing me and even stepping on me.â
âIâve already said, letâs just drop this matter,â Li Zhenting responded impatiently, his brows furrowing.
âWhat if 1 donât agree?â Shen Ning opposed without holding back.
âShen Ning,â Li Zhentingâs voice turned displeased, âShen Mei is Ding Dingâs mother, and itâs not wrong for a mother to care for her son. Even if sheâs picky, itâs her right.â
Shen Ning felt a pang in her heart. @@novelbin@@
Indeed, whatâs wrong with a mother caring for her son? Shouldnât she care for Ding Ding as well?
âBased on what youâre saying, is it acceptable for me to endure her insults and physical attacks?â She asked bitterly, âWhat era is this? Do you still think you can treat hired help like feudal lords treating their servants? Let me tell you, Iâm here as a therapist youâve hired, not your nanny.â
Li Zhenting had been dealing with a lot at work recently, and with Ding Dingâs illness, he felt exhausted. Besides, Shen Mei was Ding Dingâs mother, and Shen Ning had volunteered to come and take care of Ding Ding. In this situation, he felt that Shen Ning also had some responsibility.
He turned serious, âShen Ning, you must understand that your role is solely Ding Dingâs therapist. Please focus on your designated tasks and avoid unnecessary conflicts. I donât want chaos in my household.â
He finished speaking and walked away.
Shen Ning bit her lip until it bled.
This man was infuriating. He didnât care about right or wrong; he just blindly protected Shen Mei. Disgusting!
At this moment, she wanted to pick up Ding Ding and leave, to leave this man forever!
But how was that possible?
So far, what did she have to compete with him?
She thought of Coco and Xiaoxiao, and a small sense of comfort welled up inside her.
No matter what, she still had Coco and Xiaoxiao. For their sake, she would endure!
But Ding Dingâ¦
She lowered her head to look at the innocent face of the sleeping child. She gently pressed her cheek against his forehead, tears of anguish streaming down.
In the days that followed, Shen Mei didnât bring Lan Lan to cause trouble anymore.
Shen Ning began to wholeheartedly care for Ding Ding, trying to make every moment the best time for them as mother and son. She wished to shower him with all the motherly love she could give.
Perhaps this was their last time together as mother and son. Despite the pain and sorrow, she could only do her best in these final moments.
Li Zhenting came every day and saw Shen Ning meticulously taking care of Ding Ding. They had a close relationship, and there was no sign whatsoever that Shen Ning wanted to harm the child. This made him both happy and puzzled. What was this womanâs true intention? Why did she care for his child so much?
Perhaps there was only one explanation: Shen Ning still loved him!
âAuntie, do you like my daddy?â One day, just as Li Zhenting reached the door of the hospital room, he heard Ding Ding asking Shen Ning in his childish voice.
At that moment, Shen Ning and Ding Ding were sitting on the bed, playing cards.
Li Zhentingâs steps abruptly halted at the sound of the question, and for some reason, he felt a strange tension building within him.
âI donât like him.â Quickly, he heard Shen Ningâs voice from inside, a very certain tone.
His face darkened instantly.
âWhy not? Daddy is handsome and rich. Why donât you like him?â Ding Dingâs face was filled with disappointment.
If Mommy liked Daddy, and Daddy liked Mommy, then they could get married! That way, he, Coco, and Xiaoxiao would have both a daddy and a mommy!
