Chapter 162: He Doesn’t Love Mommy at All
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“Mummy, Ding Ding took me to the Li Family Manor a while ago, as I told you before,” Xiao Xiao whispered to Shen Ning, “It was the home of a classmate’s grandmother, a very kind and friendly lady, just like Ding Ding’s grandmother.” She leaned in closer. “Don’t worry, no one here knows I’m your daughter.”
Shen Ning suddenly realized that Xiao Xiao had mentioned going to her classmate’s house several times, but it turned out that Ding Ding had brought her to the Li Family Manor.
No wonder there were a few times when she seemed to have glimpsed Li Zhenting’s figure in the Zhengsheng Apartment. It seemed he was escorting Xiao Xiao back.
“Well, be careful and don’t wander around,” Shen Ning cautioned, regaining her composure.
Xiao Xiao was also of the Li family bloodline. If she could visit here without being recognized, it might work!
“Don’t worry, Mommy, 1 will,” Xiao Xiao reassured in a hushed tone, holding onto Shen Ning’s neck. “Mommy, you have to be careful too. The ugly witch and the old witch both want to harm you.”
Shen Ning felt her nose tingle and managed a smile as she gently ruffled Xiao Xiao’s hair. “I know, so you have to act like you don’t know Mommy, okay?”
With that, she took Xiao Xiao’s hand and approached Ding Ding. She spoke softly to him, “Ding Ding, your classmate is here. You should take good care of her and protect her.”
Ding Ding immediately held Xiao Xiao’s hand. “Don’t worry, 1 will.”
Shen Ning smiled faintly.
“Xiao Xiao, welcome to play,” Li Zhenting said with a smile, extending his welcome.
But Xiao Xiao looked at him with cold, dark eyes, showing clear indifference and unfamiliarity.
Li Zhenting was somewhat helpless. This little girl seemed to hold a strong animosity towards him, and he couldn’t figure out why! He had never offended her in any way. However, he had no intention of confronting a young girl over it.
“Daddy!” At that moment, Lan Lan, dressed like a little princess, ran towards Li Zhenting with open arms, calling out loudly in excitement.
Li Zhenting smiled, feeling the warmth of his own daughter’s affection. It was wonderful to have his daughter so attached to him!
“Lan Lan.” He bent down, extending his arms to embrace her.
Lan Lan immediately wrapped her arms around Li Zhenting’s neck and gave him a signature hug and a loud declaration, “Daddy, 1 love you!”
Li Zhenting chuckled heartily and lifted her high into the air.
Lan Lan giggled with joy.
Meanwhile, Xiao Xiao’s big eyes remained fixed on them, filled with sadness and disappointment.
She had always wanted a daddy, to be held high in his arms like Lan Lan. But she had never known what her daddy looked like. Finally, when she had found him, he was about to marry another woman, become someone else’s daddy, and he was cold and distant towards her beloved mommy.
Today, she had used her telepathy to read her daddy’s thoughts. She realized he didn’t love her mommy at all, he had someone else in his heart.
After twirling Lan Lan around a few times, Li Zhenting gently set her down.
Lan Lan beamed with happiness, looking at Xiao Xiao with an air of pride, as if to say, “You don’t have a daddy, you’re just a wild child.”
Xiao Xiao lowered her head, feeling utterly heartbroken.
“Xiao Xiao, come on, I’ll take you to play,” Coco, empathizing with her, noticed Xiao Xiao’s sadness and immediately took her hand, leading her outside.
“Ding Ding, I want to go too,” Lan Lan wanted to play with Ding Ding and followed along.
But Coco’s expression turned cold. “No, you can’t come with us. We have other things to do.”
“Ding Ding, what other things do you have? I’m your sister. Why do you treat everyone else nicely and not me?” Lan Lan protested, feeling indignant.
“Because you’re too troublesome, just like that ugly woman,” Coco replied without holding back, holding Xiao Xiao’s hand, and the two of them swiftly left.
Lan Lan pouted, standing there with teary eyes..
