“Shen Ning, let’s forget about today’s incident. Shen Mei has this kind of personality, and you don’t need to dwell on it,” Li Zhenting walked over and said after a moment of contemplation.
Shen Ning had a cold expression, “Mr. Li, what do you mean by ‘let’s forget about it’? Are you suggesting that today’s incident was my fault? Are you pardoning me without pursuing my responsibility? Let me tell you, there’s 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.”
“I’ve already said, let’s just drop this matter,” Li Zhenting responded impatiently, his brows furrowing.
“What if 1 don’t agree?” Shen Ning opposed without holding back.
“Shen Ning,” Li Zhenting’s voice turned displeased, “Shen Mei is Ding Ding’s mother, and it’s not wrong for a mother to care for her son. Even if she’s picky, it’s her right.”
Shen Ning felt a pang in her heart.
Indeed, what’s wrong with a mother caring for her son? Shouldn’t she care for Ding Ding as well?
“Based on what you’re saying, is it acceptable for me to endure her insults and physical attacks?” She asked bitterly, “What era is this? Do you still think you can treat hired help like feudal lords treating their servants? Let me tell you, I’m here as a therapist you’ve hired, not your nanny.”
Li Zhenting had been dealing with a lot at work recently, and with Ding Ding’s illness, he felt exhausted. Besides, Shen Mei was Ding Ding’s 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, “Shen Ning, you must understand that your role is solely Ding Ding’s therapist. Please focus on your designated tasks and avoid unnecessary conflicts. I don’t want chaos in my household.”
He finished speaking and walked away.
Shen Ning bit her lip until it bled.
This man was infuriating. He didn’t 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 Ding…
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 didn’t 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 woman’s true intention? Why did she care for his child so much?
Perhaps there was only one explanation: Shen Ning still loved him!
“Auntie, do you like my daddy?” 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 Zhenting’s steps abruptly halted at the sound of the question, and for some reason, he felt a strange tension building within him.
“I don’t like him.” Quickly, he heard Shen Ning’s voice from inside, a very certain tone.
His face darkened instantly.
“Why not? Daddy is handsome and rich. Why don’t you like him?” Ding Ding’s 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!
