âNot true,â Li Zhentingâs handsome face darkened. âDaddy saved her and took her to the hospital. Sheâs perfectly fine.â
âYouâre lying,â Ding Ding vehemently argued, âShe comes to be with me every night. Why isnât she here today? Itâs clear that she has already drowned.â
Ding Ding pouted, tears streaming down one after another.
Li Zhenting, seeing his heartbroken appearance, couldnât help but feel both amused and exasperated. He reluctantly took out his phone and tried to call Shen Ning.
However, after several attempts, it kept saying that her phone was switched off.
He furrowed his brows.
Did this woman have no manners left? Clearly, it was her time to be with Ding Ding now, and not only did she not show up, but she also didnât even take leave. What did she take him for?
âI told you, sheâs already dead,â Ding Ding, convinced that Shen Ning was gone since his dad couldnât find her, burst into louder sobs, his little nose twitching.
âDing Ding, Daddy promises you, she hasnât died,â Li Zhenting said, also feeling helpless, resorting to making a solemn oath.
But Ding Ding didnât believe him at all, he just cried even harder.
Just when Li Zhenting was at his witâs end, they suddenly heard hurried footsteps from downstairs. @@novelbin@@
Li Zhentingâs face couldnât help but show a hint of joy. Despite the urgency in the footsteps, he instantly recognized them as Shen Ningâs.
âDing Ding.â Shen Ning was drenched in sweat after a busy day of moving. The suburban location was quite a distance away, and the road conditions werenât great, with traffic jams delaying even the taxi. She rushed up and saw Ding Ding with tear-stained cheeks, looking at her. His bright, starry eyes melted her heart instantly.
She hurried over precisely because she was afraid Ding Ding might be waiting for her. Indeed, her son had been waiting for her. His unwavering affection touched her deeply.
âAuntie,â Ding Ding, with his incredibly adorable face, finally broke into a genuine smile. He reached out his hands towards her and said, âYou didnât die, Auntie.â
Shen Ning was taken aback and rushed to embrace him. âAuntie is perfectly fine. How could Auntie die? Auntie will find a way to stay alive for Ding Dingâs sake.â
She meant every word. For the sake of her children, she would do everything in her power to stay alive and protect them from harm.
As Ding Dingâs small body nestled into her arms, he became quiet and obedient. Shen Ning had no resistance to his charms. She picked him up and headed towards the bedroom, whispering gently, âIâm sorry, Ding Ding. There was heavy traffic today, which caused a delay. Iâll make sure to arrive on time next time.â
âAuntie, you have to come every day. I canât sleep without seeing you,â Ding Dingâs voice was sweet and tender, with a hint of lingering melody.
Shen Ningâs heart melted into a puddle. She placed Ding Ding on the sofa, pinched his nose, and softly replied, âYouâre a little man now. Itâs not good to depend on someone to sleep. Itâs a bad habit.â
âI donât care. 1 just want Mommy to be with me,â Ding Ding whispered softly in Shen Ningâs ear.
Shen Ning smiled sweetly.
Suddenly, a cold beam of light hit her, and she raised her eyes to find Li Zhenting standing there with a cold expression.
However, she only gave him a brief glance before getting busy with her tasks.
Li Zhenting watched them, their mother-and-son-like interaction, with a pensive look.
âAuntie, can you stay tonight and sleep with me?â After a while, he also went to the bathroom to take a bath. When he came out, he saw Shen Ning sitting by Ding Dingâs bedside, engaged in conversation. Ding Ding, with his little face held high, earnestly made the request..
