On the tree-lined path, street lights shine through the shade of the trees, and the cool night breeze makes me feel a little cold.
Xiaoxiao was finally tired from walking around and fell asleep on Shen Ning.
Shen Ning held her daughter and walked towards the parking lot in front. The underground parking lot was already full, so Li Zhenting's car could only be parked at the corner over there.
Li Zhenting strode out of the mall carrying a lot of bags.
He raised his eyes.
Shen Ning was walking in front holding the child. Her thin body was like a willow swaying in the wind, and it was very difficult for her to walk.
Xiaoxiao probably weighs about 40 or 50 kilograms.
"Come, give me the child, and you carry the things." Li Zhenting walked forward, put down the things in his hands, and stretched out his hands to her.
Shen Ning hesitated for a moment, ready to give Xiao Xiao to him.
After all, there was still a long distance from here to the parking lot over there, and she was a little tired. Her wrists had already been injured because she often held Coco and Xiaoxiao at that time.
Besides, Li Zhenting is the little boy's biological daddy. He has never fulfilled his duties as a daddy, so what's wrong with a hug?
How could he understand the pain a woman goes through during pregnancy and childbirth?
Li Zhenting reached out to hug Xiaoxiao.
But the little hands just held Shen Ning's clothes tightly. He tried to pry her little fingers apart, but the insecure little girl pouted and cried out.
Li Zhenting had no choice but to let go, feeling somewhat helpless.
The daughter's dependence made the maternal love in Shen Ning's heart rise, and a force suddenly rose up.
She held the child tightly and walked forward.
What does this matter? During those years, she had to hold one child in her arms and carry another on her back. When the children were sick, she was exhausted and collapsed.
After going through so much hardship and fatigue, why would you still care about such a small path?
Li Zhenting frowned.
There is a steep slope ahead!
A woman's back is slender and fragile. She is at an age when she needs a man's love and care, but she has to carry the burden of two children.
At that moment, his heart was soft, and a warm curve appeared at the corner of his lips.
After a while, Shen Ning held Xiao Xiao in her arms and began to walk up the hill. Her body and forehead were covered with sweat, but she did not dare to change the way she held Xiao Xiao, for fear of suddenly waking the child from his dream.
Li Zhenting's eyes deepened a little, and he suddenly walked forward, with his hands spread out to surround him.
Shen Ning immediately felt her body lighten and she was lifted into the air. She screamed in fright and hugged Xiao Xiao tightly, fearing that Xiao Xiao would fall.
The man's familiar scent of gentian filled his nostrils.
Li Zhenting had already picked up her and Xiaoxiao from behind.
Her heart began to beat rapidly.
The man's muscular chest, strong arms, and steady heartbeat made her feel as if she were in another world.
She snuggled in the man's arms, holding her daughter. Suddenly, everything in the world stopped moving, and a brief feeling of peace and stability rose from the bottom of her heart. Her heart, which had never been at peace, and her tired and restless soul seemed to get a respite at this moment.
She closed her eyes.
I’m so tired!
Li Zhenting would never be able to understand how tired she was, nor could he ever imagine that she not only had to hold the child in her arms, but also had to carry the burden of life forward with her other hand.
Her tiredness is the result of the heavy blows dealt to her by the cruel life and the trials and tribulations of fate over the years.
"Okay, you take Xiaoxiao and lie down to rest. I'll go drive." While she was still in a daze, Li Zhenting had already sent her and Xiaoxiao to the RV at the back. He put them both on the bed and spoke in a low voice.
Shen Ning didn't say anything.
Li Zhenting turned around and got out of the car.
She suddenly opened her eyes and burst into tears.
The breeze was blowing gently, the night was silent, Shen Ning looked at the darkness outside, wondering what he was thinking.
