In the Zhengsheng Apartment, Coco and Xiaoxiao were enthusiastically kneading dough and beating eggs.
Today marked Mommy’s birthday, and they were determined to create a homemade birthday cake to surprise her.
“Hey, 1 wonder how Dingding is doing. 1 miss him so much,” Xiaoxiao commented as she mixed flour. Her cherubic face was dusted with flour, and her big, expressive eyes blinked.
“Yeah, I miss him too, along with Grandma. 1 even miss that tiny bit of our unreliable Daddy,” Coco sighed, setting aside the egg she had been holding.
Ever since the day Shen Ning discovered the secret of Coco and Dingding swapping identities, she had strictly prohibited Coco from sneaking into the Li Manor.
It was deemed far too risky.
Li Zhenting had already grown suspicious of Dingding, even taking him to see a doctor, which wasn’t ideal for Dingding. Moreover, it wasn’t in Coco’s best interest either. What if Shen Mei found out? Besides, secretly, she preferred to keep Coco’s existence hidden from Li Zhenting.
So for now, Coco and Xiaoxiao could only remain at home day in and day out.
A little while later, the phone started to ring.
Coco immediately rushed over to answer it.
It was Shen Ning on the other end.
She informed them that she would be dining out with someone tonight and told them to have dinner at home, finish their homework, and go to bed early without waiting for her.
Coco grew anxious. Today was Mommy’s birthday, and they were in the middle of making a birthday cake for her. How could they not wait for her?
He wanted to say more, but it seemed that Shen Ning was in a hurry and quite busy. She quickly spoke a few sentences and hung up the phone.
Coco put the phone down, and the two little ones slumped onto the sofa.
They really wanted to play with Dingding and spend time with Daddy and Mommy!
As nightfall arrived, a gentle sea breeze began to waft through the air.
At Yide Resort.
Shen Ning had rushed here right after finishing work, feeling a bit flustered.
This place was renowned in the capital for its seafood buffet and barbecue, featuring the freshest catches straight from the sea.
Tables were arranged on the beach, and the place was bustling with patrons.
At the most luxurious table, flickering candles and alternating neon lights created a dreamy and enchanting ambiance. Seated there was Jing Chenxi, his long legs elegantly crossed, exuding an air of grace and nobility.
“Sorry for being late,” Shen Ning approached with a hint of apology in her expression.
Tonight, she was treating him to dinner as a gesture of gratitude for his assistance during this period. However, she had been held up at work, and she felt a tad embarrassed about it.
“No worries, Ning Ning. Please, have a seat,” Jing Chenxi smiled warmly at her. She appeared surprisingly neat, without any jewelry.
“Have you placed your order? Let me take care of that for you,” Shen Ning said as she put down her bag and got down to business.
At the entrance, a luxury car pulled in.
“Mummy, I want grilled oysters and big lobsters,” Lanlan exclaimed with joy as she hopped out of the car, taking in the sparkling beach scene.
“Sure, you can order whatever you like, but remember, young ladies should be elegant and not shout,” Shen Mei admonished while holding her hand.
“Okay,” Lanlan fell silent and reached for Dingding’s hand.
Dingding was not pleased and pulled his hand away. However, Lanlan didn’t care and firmly grabbed his hand, holding it tightly.
Li Zhenting parked the car and walked over, leading them toward the most luxurious table in the center.
He had reserved this table in the morning.
Meanwhile, Shen Ning and Jing Chenxi had just returned from the beach with a bounty of fresh seafood. As they approached the table, Shen Ning’s face suddenly changed..
