“What do you understand, kid? She’s not a real therapist. She’ll only teach you bad things,” Li Zhenting glanced at Shen Ning, who was helping Jing Chenxi with his food, and spoke with disdain and contempt.
“No, she’s beautiful and gentle. Only she will teach me sincerely. Besides, I don’t want anyone else but her,” Dingding was angry, sitting sulking in his chair.
Li Zhenting was not in the mood to compromise this time.
What did a five-year-old know? Shen Ning, with her ever-changing nature and tricks, would do nothing but lead his son astray. What else could she possibly teach him?
He would never agree.
Meanwhile, Shen Mei had been watching the show with glee on the sidelines. But when she saw Dingding insist on having Shen Ning as his family therapist, she couldn’t contain her frustration. Clearly, Dingding wasn’t her biological child, that’s why he never grew close to her.
These past few days, Li Wanqing had been staying at home, and Dingding clung to her whenever he returned. Shen Mei couldn’t find a good opportunity to intervene. Plus, Lanlan stuck to Dingding every day as well. She was having a hard time making a decision.
Li Zhenting hadn’t said he wouldn’t marry her anymore. If, by any chance, something happened to Dingding, she would be sabotaging herself.
“Zhenting, it seems like tonight Jing Chenxi is going to propose to my sister. Oh, what a night it is! The stars are sparkling, the sea breeze is blowing – it’s truly a beautiful evening,” Shen Mei said after a while, watching a flower girl approaching Shen Ning with a large basket of vibrant roses. She strolled over to Li Zhenting, smiled, and continued.
“Propose?”
Li Zhenting’s ears perked up, and he glanced at Shen Ning. He saw a flower girl carrying a large basket of roses approaching her.
At this moment, on the sandy beach, with the setting sun casting a warm glow over the sea, it was indeed a breathtaking sight.
Li Zhenting’s expression darkened briefly, and he felt a surge of anger inside him.
However, he quickly sneered, squinting his eyes as he forcefully suppressed his anger.
She was just a woman he didn’t want. If someone wanted to propose to her, why should he care? Did he really need to get angry over this?
But…
If she intended to harm his son, he wouldn’t stand by and do nothing. His son was still young, and he had to protect him.
By now, the flower girl had delivered the large basket of roses to Shen Ning.
The fresh roses still glistened with dew, clearly air-shipped from the other hemisphere. When the sea breeze blew, the fragrance of the roses filled the air, and nearby guests couldn’t help but turn their attention to them.
At this moment, Shen Ning felt very uneasy.
The moment she saw the roses, she had an impulse to escape.
She hadn’t expected Jing Chenxi to pull this on her again.
In truth, she had simply wanted to find a suitable place to treat him to a meal as a token of her appreciation, without any ulterior motives. But it was evident that Jing Chenxi had different plans.
“Ning Ning, happy birthday,” Jing Chenxi said, picking up the most beautiful rose from the basket and presenting it to her with deep affection.
“Happy birthday?” Shen Ning sat up straight, taken aback. Was today her birthday? She was momentarily stunned but then suddenly remembered that today was indeed her birthday, her twenty-fourth birthday!
“Thank you, thank you,” she said, her eyes welling up with tears as she accepted the rose and expressed her gratitude repeatedly.
He only wanted to wish her a happy birthday!
She was deeply moved. For so many years, since her mother had become paralyzed, no one had remembered her birthday or celebrated it for her. But Jing Chenxi not only remembered her birthday but was the first to celebrate it for her.
How could she not be touched?
The waiter promptly brought out a birthday cake. It was a nine-tiered cake, quite large!
“Ning Ning, your birthday must be happy and joyful,” Jing Chenxi stood up, walked over to her, bent down, and kissed her on the forehead affectionately.
“Thank you,” Shen Ning sat there, stunned, unable to find words other than to express her gratitude.
“Kiss her, kiss her!” Suddenly, someone on the beach started chanting.
A handsome couple together on the beach could only be lovers, right? Those couples deeply in love were taking the opportunity to flaunt their romance, shouting loudly.
The beach erupted in cheers..
