Early morning in the Gu Qi financial office.
Wan Zhengping had just taken a seat when Li Zhenting walked in.
“Mr. Li,” Wan Zhengping said in surprise, quickly approaching him.
“How’s Gu Qi doing now?” Li Zhenting sat down on the sofa.
Wan Zhengping cautiously replied, “Mr. Li, at the moment, Gu Qi is facing a financial crisis. Mr. Shen is trying to find a bank or institution to secure financing. If we don’t receive funds within three days, the company will face bankruptcy.”
Li Zhenting furrowed his brows slightly, “Has the Jing Group not offered any assistance?”
Jing Chenxi loved Shen Ning so much, and he was also a shrewd businessman. He couldn’t possibly be unaware of Shen Ning’s predicament, right?
Jing Group?
Wan Zhengping shook his head in surprise, “Mr. Li, Mr. Shen has never accepted help from the Jing Group. She never even considered asking Jing Chenxi for a loan.”
Li Zhenting was momentarily stunned, then a faint smile curved at the corner of his lips. He stood up in silence.

In the hospital room,
Ding Ding woke up to see Shen Ning sitting at his bedside, smiling.
Mommy!
The little guy was overjoyed. Even though he was the reserved and slow-to-warm-up type, he was extremely excited at this moment. He climbed out of bed and threw himself into Shen Ning’s arms, quietly calling her ‘Mommy.’
Shen Ning’s eyes welled up with emotion. She hugged him and gave him a soft kiss, whispering, “You can’t call me that when there are other people around, alright?”
“1 understand.” Ding Ding nodded earnestly. “Mommy, is it because of that ugly witch, Shen Mei, that you don’t want people to know you’re my mommy? Don’t worry, I won’t let Daddy marry her.”
Shen Ning was momentarily taken aback and quickly replied, “It’s not because of that. You’re still too young to understand.”
Innocent children wouldn’t understand that the reason she couldn’t be with his father wasn’t because of Shen Mei but because Li Zhenting didn’t love her.
If there was genuine love between them, not even ten Shen Meis could come between them.
Ding Ding couldn’t comprehend these things, but he was just happy to be with his mommy. 𝑏𝑒𝑑𝑛𝘰𝑣𝑒𝘭.𝑐𝑜𝑚
He sat in Shen Mei’s lap, still feeling quite weak, with cold sweat on his forehead.
Seeing his pale face, colorless lips, and his large eyes looking even bigger and lifeless due to his illness, Shen Ning felt a deep ache in her heart. She gently wiped the sweat from his forehead with a tissue, her heart filled with tenderness.
Ding Ding lay quietly in her arms, basking in the sweetness of his mother’s love.
Shen Ning would occasionally kiss his forehead, showing her deep affection.
As mother and son were bonding, Li Zhenting walked in, followed by several hotel staff carrying trays of delicately prepared breakfast.
“Ding Ding, it’s time for breakfast.”
Li Zhenting had been in the room for a while, but Ding Ding didn’t even look at him. He was engrossed in hushed conversations with his mommy, exchanging secretive words and sharing cheerful smiles, as if they completely ignored Li Zhenting’s presence.
Li Zhenting’s face darkened.
This kid, he had raised him, been by his side for so many years, yet he was less important than a stranger to him!
“Humph.” He let out a deep, disgruntled snort, and both Ding Ding and Shen Ning, who had been happily chatting, were startled. They looked at his stern face and fell silent.
Shen Ning began to take care of Ding Ding’s breakfast.
“Auntie, 1 really can’t eat anymore.” Ding Ding shook his head after only having a small bowl of rice porridge.
“No, have another bowl of bird’s nest soup.” Li Zhenting maintained his serious expression. “The reason you caught a cold and got sick is because you eat too little usually. Your weak immune system is the cause.”
Ding Ding glanced at the bird’s nest soup, which looked both fishy and sticky, and he couldn’t bring himself to eat it. He looked at Shen Ning with a pitiful expression.
Shen Ning felt extremely sorry for him.
“The child is still recovering from a cold and stomachache. He should eat smaller but more frequent meals. You can’t force a child to eat so much,” she suggested.
“That’s right!” Ding Ding immediately agreed. “Adults shouldn’t force kids to
eat. You’re not a child, so you don’t understand me..”
