âMummy, Ding Ding took me to the Li Family Manor a while ago, as I told you before,â Xiao Xiao whispered to Shen Ning, âIt was the home of a classmateâs grandmother, a very kind and friendly lady, just like Ding Dingâs grandmother.â She leaned in closer. âDonât worry, no one here knows Iâm your daughter.â
Shen Ning suddenly realized that Xiao Xiao had mentioned going to her classmateâs house several times, but it turned out that Ding Ding had brought her to the Li Family Manor.
No wonder there were a few times when she seemed to have glimpsed Li Zhentingâs figure in the Zhengsheng Apartment. It seemed he was escorting Xiao Xiao back.
âWell, be careful and donât wander around,â Shen Ning cautioned, regaining her composure.
Xiao Xiao was also of the Li family bloodline. If she could visit here without being recognized, it might work!
âDonât worry, Mommy, 1 will,â Xiao Xiao reassured in a hushed tone, holding onto Shen Ningâs neck. âMommy, you have to be careful too. The ugly witch and the old witch both want to harm you.â
Shen Ning felt her nose tingle and managed a smile as she gently ruffled Xiao Xiaoâs hair. âI know, so you have to act like you donât know Mommy, okay?â
With that, she took Xiao Xiaoâs hand and approached Ding Ding. She spoke softly to him, âDing Ding, your classmate is here. You should take good care of her and protect her.â
Ding Ding immediately held Xiao Xiaoâs hand. âDonât worry, 1 will.â
Shen Ning smiled faintly.
âXiao Xiao, welcome to play,â Li Zhenting said with a smile, extending his welcome.
But Xiao Xiao looked at him with cold, dark eyes, showing clear indifference and unfamiliarity.
Li Zhenting was somewhat helpless. This little girl seemed to hold a strong animosity towards him, and he couldnât figure out why! He had never offended her in any way. However, he had no intention of confronting a young girl over it.
âDaddy!â At that moment, Lan Lan, dressed like a little princess, ran towards Li Zhenting with open arms, calling out loudly in excitement.
Li Zhenting smiled, feeling the warmth of his own daughterâs affection. It was wonderful to have his daughter so attached to him!
âLan Lan.â He bent down, extending his arms to embrace her.
Lan Lan immediately wrapped her arms around Li Zhentingâs neck and gave him a signature hug and a loud declaration, âDaddy, 1 love you!â
Li Zhenting chuckled heartily and lifted her high into the air.
Lan Lan giggled with joy.@@novelbin@@
Meanwhile, Xiao Xiaoâs big eyes remained fixed on them, filled with sadness and disappointment.
She had always wanted a daddy, to be held high in his arms like Lan Lan. But she had never known what her daddy looked like. Finally, when she had found him, he was about to marry another woman, become someone elseâs daddy, and he was cold and distant towards her beloved mommy.
Today, she had used her telepathy to read her daddyâs thoughts. She realized he didnât love her mommy at all, he had someone else in his heart.
After twirling Lan Lan around a few times, Li Zhenting gently set her down.
Lan Lan beamed with happiness, looking at Xiao Xiao with an air of pride, as if to say, âYou donât have a daddy, youâre just a wild child.â
Xiao Xiao lowered her head, feeling utterly heartbroken.
âXiao Xiao, come on, Iâll take you to play,â Coco, empathizing with her, noticed Xiao Xiaoâs sadness and immediately took her hand, leading her outside.
âDing Ding, I want to go too,â Lan Lan wanted to play with Ding Ding and followed along.
But Cocoâs expression turned cold. âNo, you canât come with us. We have other things to do.â
âDing Ding, what other things do you have? Iâm your sister. Why do you treat everyone else nicely and not me?â Lan Lan protested, feeling indignant.
âBecause youâre too troublesome, just like that ugly woman,â Coco replied without holding back, holding Xiao Xiaoâs hand, and the two of them swiftly left.
Lan Lan pouted, standing there with teary eyes..
