"Baby, what's your name?"
"My name is Ningning."
"Ningning..." Grandma Li suddenly thought of Ning Yichu. She once said that if she gave birth to a daughter, she would name her Ningning and hoped that she would live a peaceful and happy life.
But Ning Yichu left after divorcing Li Lingyang, so how could she be the mother of the little girl in front of her?
Grandma Li concealed the bitterness in her heart and said with a smile, "Our Doudou is shy. It's rare for him to have a playmate who's so fun to play with. Please come to our house more often in the future."
Ningning knew that she probably wouldn't come here often, so she said sweetly, "I like little sister too."
"Where are your daddy and mommy?"
Ningning glanced at Li Lingyang secretly and was about to say that her daddy had passed away. Li Lingyang, who was standing next to her, noticed her look and thought she was asking for help, so he said softly, "Grandma, this child's situation is a bit complicated. Let's have dinner first. They're hungry after playing all day."
"Yes, yes, look at me, I forgot everything..." Grandma Li touched Ningning's head, asked the servants to serve the dishes, and took a small piece of cake to Ningning.
The small sugar cakes are much more delicate than those sold outside, and they look delicious at first glance.
"Thank you, Grandma Zeng."
"She's so cute! I wonder which parents raised such a lovely daughter..."
The layout of the restaurant in the Li family's old house is also very exquisite. It is larger than an ordinary person's home. It is covered with a cotton and linen tablecloth embroidered with intricate gold thread patterns, and a white jade vase contains flower arrangements, which is exquisite and beautiful.
In order to entertain a few children, the chef made the food especially to suit their taste.
The little ones ate with relish and were soon full.
After dinner, Ningning and Doudou were looking at antiques in the living room, and Li Lingyang gave the photos he took today to Grandma Li.
In addition to the family of four at the beginning, there were also many solo photos of Cheng Cheng and Dou Dou.
When she saw a photo of Doudou and Ningning sitting in a time tunnel, Grandma Li froze and asked repeatedly, "This...this person is...Chuchu?"
Only half of a woman's face was captured in the corner of the photo. Although it was not a full picture, Grandma Li recognized her as her former granddaughter-in-law at a glance!
Li Lingyang followed Grandma Li's gaze and saw the corner of the photo. He specifically instructed the photographer not to take a picture of Ning Yichu, but the secret was still exposed, and he frowned slightly.
"Is it really Chuchu? She's back, why didn't you tell me earlier?"
Li Lingyang said calmly, "I just found out about it too. I ran into it by chance today."
"I remembered now. When I first saw Ningning, I said she looked so familiar. Now I realize that this child's eyebrows and eyes are like Chuchu. Look, these big eyes, high nose bridge, cherry lips... Could Ningning be Chuchu's daughter?" Grandma Li suddenly had a horrifying thought.
Li Lingyang was shocked by Grandma Li's suggestion, and the little faces of Ning Yichu and Ning Ning kept flashing through his mind.
If you look closely, they do have some similarities...
But Ningning is still young and hasn't grown up yet, so if you don't look closely, you really can't tell.
But thinking about the fact that the two of them had little interaction at the beginning of the day, he denied it.
"They don't know each other."
There was a hint of disappointment in Grandma Li's eyes, and she said sadly, "It's all your fault. You didn't learn anything else but to follow others and have a mistress and cheat! Chuchu came back and you didn't call me for so long. You must still be mad at me..."
Li Lingyang's forehead veins twitched, but he still didn't tell him that Ning Yichu had betrayed him.
Given how much grandma likes Ning Yichu, she might not be able to bear it if she knew her true face.
At this time, Ningning ran over holding a bunch of freshly picked flowers, "Grandma Zeng, I think this bouquet of flowers is very beautiful, just like you, so I'll give it to you. I hope you don't mind!"
Grandma Li's heart seemed to be touched by something, and she felt incredibly soft. She took the bouquet and hugged Ningning repeatedly, saying, "Ningning, how can you be so thoughtful? Grandma Zeng doesn't even want to let you go."
Ningning had never been hugged by an elder of such an old age, and her little face immediately turned red with embarrassment.
"Then I have to go home, otherwise Mommy will worry."
Grandma Li let her go reluctantly.
For some reason, even though this child was not Ning Yichu's daughter, she felt close to her.
"It's my 80th birthday at the end of the month. Ningning, can you come? Doudou will definitely be very happy if you come."
Ningning originally thought that there would be a lot of people at her great-grandmother's birthday party, and it would be inconvenient for her to come. But when she saw that Grandma Li was very old and her eyes were full of kindness, she couldn't bring herself to refuse.
"Okay, then I wish you a happy birthday in advance, Grandma Zeng, and good health."
Grandma Li couldn't stop smiling.
It was getting late, so Li Lingyang sent Ningning home.
"Grandma Zeng, Doudou, I'm leaving first, bye~" Ningning waved to them politely, feeling a little reluctant to leave.
When they arrived at the garage, Ning Ning didn't want Li Lingyang to send her off. She rolled her eyes and said, "Bad uncle, you're so busy at work, just ask a driver to send me off."
"Didn't you want me to hold you up high in the amusement park?" Li Lingyang asked calmly. He felt that this child was a bit two-faced, hot and cold.
Ningning thought, that was just to distract his attention, but seeing that he didn't look easy to mess with, she still climbed into the back seat with her little butt sticking out and fastened her seat belt obediently.
Li Lingyang sat in the driver's seat, pursing his thin lips. "Where do you live?"
Ning Ning rolled her eyes and said with a smile, "Just drop me off at the Golden Sun Kindergarten."
There was absolutely no way she would let him send her home. Wouldn't Mommy be terrified when she saw that?
Li Lingyang raised his eyebrows and entered Golden Sun Kindergarten into the navigation. It was a kindergarten at the entrance of a residential community.
In less than half an hour, the man's car stopped in front of the kindergarten.
He looked around and subconsciously thought that Ningning's home was the community in front of him. He unbuckled his seat belt, pushed the door open and got out of the car. "I'll take you upstairs."
"No, I can do it myself!" Ningning jumped out of the car and ran into the community, as if someone was chasing her.
Li Lingyang laughed and confirmed that Ningning had entered the community before turning around and leaving.
This little girl looks clever and smart, and seems to be on guard quite a lot.
He was really curious about her mommy.
In fact, Ningning entered the community through the front door and immediately slipped out through the back door.
She often came here to buy fruits and was very familiar with the security guard, so she ran back to Junyue Mansion.
"Mommy, I'm back..."
Ning Yichu had been waiting for her, and didn't dare to call for fear of being exposed. When he saw the little girl, it was as if he hadn't seen her for a long time. He hugged her tightly in his arms and said, "Why did you take so long? It's already dark."
"Well, after playing at the amusement park, my scumbag dad took me to see my great-grandmother..."
"Grandma?" Ning Yichu thought of the kind old woman from the past and asked, "You saw Grandma. How is she? Is she in good spirits?"
After divorcing Li Lingyang, she chose to go abroad in order to save her child, and later moved to several cities.
Because of the rush, she didn't have time to say goodbye to her grandmother. Five years passed in a flash. She wanted to call her grandmother several times, but felt ashamed.
