“Daddy, I want to see this aunt. I want her to be with me,” Ding Ding suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes red, and he pouted as he pleaded, “Please, please bring her here. 1 just want her to take care of me.”

As Ding Ding spoke, tears welled up in his eyes once again.

Li Zhenting was left dumbfounded, unable to find words.

During dinner, Li Wanqing brought a bowl of rice soup and a light egg custard.

The child hadn’t eaten anything all day, and she was deeply concerned. It was crucial to get some nourishment into him to give him the strength to fight the illness.

She quietly pushed open the bedroom door.

Ding Ding was already asleep.

She gently touched the child’s forehead; he still had a slight fever. But what worried her more was whether he might have another fever during the night. She bent down slightly and placed the bowl of rice soup and the egg custard on the bedside table. She sat down, intending to wait for him to wake up.

However, as soon as she sat down, she noticed a tablet computer on the bed, almost about to fall off. She quickly reached out to catch it, inadvertently turning on the screen.

She saw a photo of Shen Ning displayed prominently on the screen and sat there in a daze.

How did Ding Ding have a photo of Shen Ning?

Shen Ning and Shen Mei were sisters, so it made sense for the child to have a picture of his aunt. However, Shen Ning and Shen Mei weren’t particularly close.

She sat there, lost in thought.

At that moment, Ding Ding coughed a few times and opened his eyes.

“Ding Ding, you’re awake,” she asked warmly, “Would you like to have some soup first?”

“I don’t want to drink,” Ding Ding shook his head, his eyes lifeless. He stretched out his small hand, his throat hoarse, and said, “Grandma, I want the tablet.”

Li Wanqing was momentarily puzzled but immediately handed him the tablet.

Ding Ding took it, his small fingers gently caressing the image of Shen Ning on the screen. After a while, he pouted and hugged the tablet tightly to his chest.

Li Wanqing suddenly seemed to understand something. She asked softly, “Ding Ding, do you want this lady to come and take care of you as your therapist?”

“Yeah,” Ding Ding nodded weakly.

Li Wanqing was stunned, unable to speak.

After a while, she said, “Ding Ding, if you drink the soup, I’ll have your dad bring her here.”

Ding Ding’s eyes lit up, “Really?”

But soon, his eyes dimmed again, “Daddy won’t agree.”

“Silly child, as long as you drink the soup, Grandma will keep her word. Even if your dad disagrees, Grandma will personally invite her to come and take care of you.” This time, Li Wanqing spoke with determination.

Ding Ding finally agreed to drink the soup. He reluctantly sat up and managed to finish half a bowl. Li Wanqing didn’t force him to drink more; after all, a sick child’s digestive system was often delicate.

After taking care of Ding Ding and ensuring he was settled down to sleep, Li Wanqing turned and walked outside.

In the downstairs living room, Li Zhenting was puffing on one cigar after another.

Li Wanqing walked over and sat across from him, her expression serious.

“Zhenting, do you know that Ding Ding wants Shen Ning as his home tutor?” she asked.

Li Zhenting took a drag of his cigar and nodded in silence.

“So, are you going to hold a grudge against the child?” Li Wanqing emphasized her words.

“Mom, I…” Li Zhenting hesitated.

“Zhenting, I only have one grandson. All he wants is someone to accompany and take care of him. Can’t you fulfill this simple wish? Especially when he’s so sick now,” Li Wanqing stood up abruptly. “Even if he wants not just one but ten or a hundred people to look after him, I’d gladly arrange it. If you disagree, then I’ll personally invite her.”

She was about to leave.

“Mom,” Li Zhenting stopped her, “It’s not that 1 disagree, but I have doubts about Shen Ning’s intentions.”

“All, you’re truly muddle-headed. You’ve let Shen Mei cloud your judgment,” Li Wanqing scolded, exasperated. “In my opinion, Shen Ning is miles better than Shen Mei. You not only lack discernment but also seem gullible. 1 wonder what Shen Mei has done to you. Just wait; you’ll regret this someday..”
