8:50 PM.
Shen Ning promptly turned off the lights and sent Ding Ding and Lan Lan to bed.
Thinking about her own children, Coco and Xiaoxiao, she felt an overwhelming sense of urgency, wishing she could sprout wings and fly back home.
However, just as she walked into the hallway, she came face to face with a bathrobe-clad Li Zhenting.
“Stay a bit longer, move Ding Ding to my bedroom before you go,” Li Zhentinginstructed.
“Why?” Shen Ning asked in surprise.
Move Ding Ding to Li Zhenting’s bedroom? Was he planning to place Ding Ding between him and Shen Mei like a third wheel?
Seeing the mischievous look on her face, Li Zhentingcoldly snorted, “Ding Ding often has nightmares at night. I want to take care of him personally. I’m worried that if you move him after you leave, he might not settle down. Stay a bit longer, let him sleep peacefully in my room before you go.”
After he explained, he headed to Ding Ding’s bedroom.
Shen Ning understood and agreed.
A while later, Li Zhentingcarried the already asleep Ding Ding into his own bedroom.
Shen Ning held his little hand, afraid he might wake up.
Ding Ding must have sensed some instability because he turned over.
Shen Ning gently patted his back, and Ding Ding fell asleep again.
Just as they settled down, Li Zhenting’s phone rang. Afraid of waking the child, he quickly left the room.
Shen Ning sat at the bedside and took a good look around the bedroom.
The last time she was here, Ding Ding was still ill, and she didn’t have the time to examine the room.
The bedroom was dominated by a light gray color that complemented the deep black wardrobe, giving it an elegant and tranquil atmosphere.
This was once her and Li Zhenting’s bridal chamber. During those two years, she had guarded this empty room… At that time, she had yearned for his presence every day, but it was always like chasing after a mirage.
Her nose tingled with a hint of bitterness, and she suddenly felt something was amiss.
Li Zhenting’s bedroom was also Shen Mei’s bedroom. Was it appropriate for her to stay here like this? What if Shen Mei walked in… She stood up.
But soon, she scanned the entire room and couldn’t find a single trace of anything belonging to a woman.
The whole space was devoid of any feminine touch, filled only with the scent of a man.
Could it be…
As she stood there in a daze, Li Zhenting finished his call and walked in.
“Li Zhenting, Ding Ding is fast asleep now, so 1’11 be leaving,” she said softly as she gently pried the child’s hand from hers and started heading towards the door.
“Li Zhenting, I heard that you’ve fired many high-level executives,” she continued, unfazed by his presence, without even turning to face him.
“Yes,” Li Zhentingreplied calmly, following her outside. He leaned against the wall, his indigo bathrobe contrasting against his snow-white skin, his dark eyes gleaming.
“Do you want to know the evidence against Gu Qi, Yanzexiong, and Ji Hongmei?” Shen Ning asked, her voice devoid of emotion, as she coldly locked her gaze onto him.
He returned her gaze steadily.
“No need,” Li Zhentingsuddenly spoke, a faint, enigmatic smile playing at the corners of his lips.
Heh! Shen Ning smirked coldly and turned to leave.
Perhaps he was too afraid to know the truth. After all, Yanzexiong and Ji Hongmei had already confessed everything. They were backed by Shen Mei and her mum, but he was just trying to protect them.
Her eyes were icy, and she walked briskly towards the exit.
Li Zhentingwatched her retreating figure for a moment, then reached into his pocket and pulled out a cigarette…
“Shen Ning.” Just as Shen Ning had stepped out of the living room, she heard someone calling her from not too far away.
Startled, she turned her head to see Shen Mei standing under a large tree, her gaze chilling.
She gave Shen Mei a cold glance but was focused on her concern for Coco and Xiaoxiao, so she continued walking.
“Shen Ning, what’s it like giving away your biological son to someone else?” Shen Mei’s voice, like a ghostly whisper, reached Shen Ning from behind.
Shen Ning’s face turned pale, and she swiftly turned around..
