Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

“Mr. Li, starting from tomorrow, I have to return to the company for work. I can only spend three hours with Ding Ding in the evenings.” After finishing dinner, Shen Ning spoke calmly.

She had been with Ding Ding in the hospital for almost a week, and it was time for her to return to work. She couldn’t afford any further delays.

Li Zhenting paused, glancing at Ding Ding. It was clear that Shen Ning had already prepared the young boy for this news, and he seemed quite composed.

So, he nodded in agreement.

The next day.

Shen Ning finally returned to work at Gu Qi.

“Ms. Shen, there’s an important social event tonight with representatives from a new company. They’re hoping for our company’s legal representative to attend as a sign of respect,” her secretary, Li, reported as she finished sorting through the piled-up tasks.

Shen Ning hesitated for a moment.

She really didn’t like these types of social events.

Moreover, she hadn’t been home for many days and wanted to get back early to see Xiao Xiao and CoCo.

“Ms. Shen, the company has assigned the Marketing Department Manager, Yan Zexiong, and the Public Relations Department Manager, Ji Hongmei, to attend. Mr. Yan emphasized the importance of this event and kindly requested your participation,” Secretary Li sighed, understanding Shen Ning’s feelings. But the company was in a crucial development phase, and such social events were unavoidable.

Shen Ning suddenly smiled, “Alright, I’ll attend.”

Secretary Li nodded slightly, offering a smile before stepping out.

On this day, Shen Ning was busy. Despite her hectic schedule, she managed to find time to call and video chat with Ding Ding in the hospital. She explained that she had a social event in the evening and would be a bit late in returning to be with him.

As the end of the workday approached, Shen Ning went to the restroom to splash some cold water on her face. She applied a light makeup and took a short break before picking up her purse and heading outside.

“Have you seen the newspaper? Mr. Li and Shen Mei’s engagement date is set for National Day, just over a month from now. Shen Mei has finally hit the jackpot.”

“What’s so surprising about it? Shen Mei gave birth to a lovely pair of children for Mr. Li, so it’s only natural for him to marry her.”

“Yeah, Shen Mei is so lucky. Gu Qi has been losing money year after year, but she doesn’t have to worry about anything. With Mr. Li supporting her, she lives a life of extravagance and splendor every day. That’s why they say women should marry well.”

“That’s right. Otherwise, why do all women dream of marrying a prince charming? Look at Shen Ning now, she looks so miserable and unlucky. They say she and Shen Mei are sisters, but it’s like one is in heaven and the other is in hell. What’s more, even if Shen Ning works like a horse, there’s no guarantee she can turn the company around. 1 heard Gu Qi is still borrowing money from the bank, and if they don’t succeed in the next three months, they’ll go bankrupt. This woman, without a man to support her, life is truly tough.”

Shen Ning listened with a blank expression.

Shen Mei had been living with the Li family for six years and had only now secured an engagement. It seemed like marrying into a wealthy family was quite the ordeal.

Of course, between her and Li Zhenting, there was nothing more than a piece of unsigned paper. It wasn’t much different from being married.

“Ms. Shen, hello. Shall we go? The car is waiting at the entrance,” she walked out slowly, and the gossiping voices fell silent. At that moment, Yan Zexiong approached, wearing a friendly smile and showing great respect.

Shen Ning nodded and headed towards the elevator, pulling out her phone to make a call back home.

“Mommy.” It was Xiao Xiao who answered, with a voice as soft and sweet as ever.

Shen Ning wished she could instantly be with her children.

“Xiao Xiao, Mommy won’t be able to come home until 10 o’clock tonight. If you and Coco are feeling sleepy, go to bed early. Mommy will take you to kindergarten tomorrow.” She gently and softly reassured.

For this past week, she had been taking care of Ding Ding in the hospital, feeling anxious and guilty about leaving Coco and Xiao Xiao at home. But there was no other choice, and she was thankful that they were understanding and considerate of her situation..
