“No!” Shen Ning exclaimed, her anxiety pushing her to stand up and take several steps back. She looked at Jing Chenxi with a plea for help.
In response, Jing Chenxi gave her a reassuring smile. “Don’t worry, I won’t.”
Shen Ning finally breathed a sigh of relief, feeling more at ease. She had considered leaving abruptly, but it was her treat, and she didn’t want to be impolite.
“Everyone, please settle down. She’s my sister,” Jing Chenxi gestured to the crowd, encouraging them to quiet down.
Gradually, the crowd hushed, and Shen Ning returned to her seat.
“Happy birthday,” it turned out it was mummy’s birthday today, and as Shen Ning sat down, Dingding couldn’t contain his excitement. He rushed over, his voice sweet and tender as he wished her.
“Thank you,” Shen Ning replied, her eyes moistening as she looked at her son’s innocent face. She hadn’t expected to spend this birthday with him.
She glanced at Jing Chenxi, who understood everything as he gazed at Dingding’s face and nodded in agreement.
“Can I call you Mommy?” Dingding asked in a hushed tone, leaning close to Shen Ning’s ear.
“For now, you can, but only once. After that, you can’t call me that in front of others,” Shen Ning whispered back, not wanting to show too much affection in front of everyone.
“Okay, then 1’11 whisper it just this once. Mommy, happy birthday!” Dingding whispered with a bright smile, planting a kiss on her cheek. Shen Ning returned the gesture by hugging and kissing him.
“I want to play there too,” Lanlan watched Dingding and Shen Ning interact so affectionately, feeling envious. She let go of her inhibitions and ran over.
“Auntie, happy birthday to you!” Children are innocent by nature. Lanlan came over to Shen Ning, her eyes filled with a smile as she congratulated her.
“Thank you, Lanlan,” Shen Ning immediately smiled and thanked her, giving her small hand a gentle squeeze.
“Auntie, Dingding really likes you, and I like you too,” Lanlan blinked her big eyes and said whatever came to her mind.
“Thank you, Lanlan, and Dingding. Auntie likes both of you too.”
Shen Ning looked at the little girl with delicate features, lively eyes, and an overall air of privilege. Although her behavior could be a bit bossy, she was still clever and adorable. Shen Ning smiled and continued, “In the future, you and Dingding should respect each other, get along well, and not argue. You’re siblings, and you should help each other and progress together, understand?” She had heard from Coco that Lanlan often bullied Dingding. But Lanlan was just a child, growing up in that environment, so she couldn’t blame her. Therefore, she took this opportunity to teach her.
Lanlan nodded in agreement.
At that moment, the lights on the dining table all went out. It was time for Shen Ning to make a wish.
Shen Ning closed her eyes, made her wish, blew out the candles, and began cutting the cake.
The cake was simply too large, and there was no way they could finish it all. Shen Ning wanted to cut it and share it with the neighboring guests. Dingding and Lanlan, the two little ones, enthusiastically helped distribute the cake to the guests. Every time an adult thanked them and praised their good behavior, their faces lit up with happiness. This was the first time Dingding and Lanlan had learned to share something good with others, and the praise from the adults made them especially excited.
Sitting to the side, Li Zhenting had his arms crossed and his eyes half-closed, watching the happy interaction between his two children and Shen Ning. The intimacy and naturalness of it all surprised him. What kind of charm did Shen Ning possess that could captivate his two children to the point of leaving their biological mother behind? Could it be that she was the most suitable for Dingding?
Thoughts of the scene in Guqi Square, where Shen Ning talked to Dingding that day, flashed through his mind. The way they interacted seemed so familiar, as if they had known each other for a long time.
His face darkened.. Could it be that Shen Ning had set her sights on Dingding a long time ago, wanting to use him for some purpose?
