Chapter 177: Why Do You Look Like This?

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Li Zhenting had a stern face and a foul mood. As Shen Ning got into the car, he remained silent. Before she could even settle down, he vindictively started the car, almost causing Shen Ning to fall inside.

Shen Ning pressed her lips tightly and gave him a cold look. She found it odd; why was this man so angry? Wasn’t it because she had refused to have breakfast with him in the morning? But that should have suited his preferences, and he should have been pleased. Why was he wearing such a scowl?

However, she didn’t care much. This man was known for his unpredictable moods.

“Daddy, Auntie!” As they approached the kindergarten, Shen Ning saw the little guy standing at the school gate with his backpack, waving and calling out in excitement upon spotting Li Zhenting’s luxury car in the distance.

A warm smile appeared on Shen Ning’s face, and her heart felt full of warmth. Even before the car had come to a complete stop, she opened the door and ran towards Ding Ding, arms wide open. She embraced him tightly.

Mother and son shared joyous smiles and exchanged affectionate kisses before walking hand in hand towards Li Zhenting’s luxury car.

Li Zhenting sat in the driver’s seat, observing them with a cold gaze.

Shen Ning’s face radiated with a brilliant smile, a genuine expression from the depths of her heart. She smiled as she bent down to listen to her child’s chatter. Meanwhile, Ding Ding gestured and chatted animatedly, their heads often coming close together in hushed conversation.

Although Li Zhenting had nothing but disdain for Shen Ning, deep down, he was still quite shaken at this moment.

Ding Ding had truly changed, like a completely different person.

In the past, Ding Ding used to be distant, hardly spoke, and was cold to everyone. Sometimes, he even had tantrums.

But now, although he could still be cool sometimes, when he was with Shen Ning, he would laugh and chat warmly. Even the household staff praised Ding Ding for being much more polite.

There was no sign of any depressive symptoms in him anymore; he had transformed into a cheerful and optimistic child. This was something Li Zhenting could never have imagined before.

The fact that a child could undergo such a significant change in such a short time made him realize that he shouldn’t underestimate Shen Ning.

Soon, Shen Ning and Ding Ding got into the car. Li Zhenting started the car and glanced through the rearview mirror. Shen Ning and Ding Ding were chatting and laughing in the back seat. Shen Ning would occasionally ask Ding Ding about interesting things that happened at kindergarten, and Ding Ding would describe them earnestly. Shen Ning listened patiently, offering comments from time to time. They were all smiles. Whenever they encountered issues of principle, Shen Ning would promptly point them out, and Ding Ding would earnestly heed her advice.

Since they got in the car, apart from addressing him as “Daddy” once, Ding Ding acted as if Li Zhenting didn’t exist.

Li Zhenting had a stern face. This little rascal, Ding Ding, if it weren’t for the fact that he had the exact same face as his, he would have doubted if Ding Ding was really his biological child!

After dinner, to his surprise, Ding Ding suggested that Shen Ning should leave first.

Li Zhenting raised an eyebrow in curiosity, and sure enough, he saw Ding Ding and Shen Ning whispering to each other. Clearly, they had made a plan beforehand.

He snorted in response.

Shen Ning quickly said her goodbyes and left, her footsteps hastening as she thought of Coco and Xiaoxiao.

On the second floor,

Li Zhenting stood by the floor-to-ceiling glass window in his study, watching Shen Ning’s graceful figure as she walked away with a small bag on her back. He narrowed his eyes and took out his phone, dialing Leng Xue’s number.

“Mr. Li.”

“Leng Xue, I want you to investigate Shen Ning’s life in detail for the past six years. The more detailed, the better.”

“Understood.”

After taking a bus and then hailing a motorcycle taxi by the roadside, Shen Ning finally got off the motorcycle ten minutes later.

The driver dropped her off in front of a semi-new, somewhat run-down apartment building.

As Shen Ning got off the motorcycle and reached into her bag to find her keys and access card,

“Ning Ning.” Suddenly, a man’s voice came from behind her.

Shen Ning was startled, her hand trembling, causing her keys to fall to the ground, and her face turned pale..
