For the First Time, I Had a Good Sleep_1
“Grandma.” She touched the bank card with her fingers, overcome with emotion.
Those years in the United States were truly difficult for her. She had to complete her studies while raising two children. During the day, she either washed dishes in a restaurant or worked as a salesperson in a supermarket, and at night, she buried herself in her studies.
Just thinking back now filled her with bitterness.
Returning to the country meant starting from scratch and facing numerous challenges.
In this world, only Grandma could offer her a little bit of love!
She wiped away her tears and carefully put the bank card away.
She couldn’t accept Grandma’s money. With Grandma’s current health condition, how could she possibly take her money? Her mother couldn’t perform any filial duties, and her uncles and aunts were even more unreliable.
As she thought about her uncles and aunts, a chill swept over her. She cautiously tucked the bank card away, deciding to visit Grandma and return it after this busy period.
For now, she needed to quickly expand and strengthen Guqi Perfume, fulfilling her mother’s wish and relieving the urgent situation in her life.
She lowered her head and began earnestly formulating the recipes, striving to expedite the creation of perfume formulas.
As the night grew deeper, a thunderstorm suddenly raged outside, with lightning and thunder.
Shen Ning yawned and finally stood up, heading towards the bedroom to sleep.
The apartment was small, consisting of only one bedroom and one living room.
She walked towards the sole bedroom.
“Daddy, Daddy.” As soon as she approached the bedroom, she heard crying. Shen Ning was startled and bent down to take a look.
Both Coco and Xiaoxiao were fast asleep. Xiaoxiao had a sweet smile on her face, looking incredibly cute and soft.
But Coco was different. Although he was asleep, his tender face was scrunched up, his little mouth pouting, and he was crying out in his dreams. His small fingers tightly gripped the blanket, as if afraid of something.
Shen Ning’s heart tightened.
“Coco, Coco.” She immediately placed her hand on Ding Ding’s forehead, gently caressing it, while her other hand lightly patted his chest.
“Daddy, scared, I’m scared.” Ding Ding’s little mouth opened and closed, his eyes tightly shut.
Shen Ning’s heart ached as she gently stroked the little one’s face, filled with a bittersweet feeling.
This child was calling for Daddy in his dreams!
But where was his daddy?
In her mind, the image of Li Zhenting’s proud and indifferent face flashed by, sending a chill down her spine. She climbed onto the bed and tightly embraced Coco in her arms.
The child longed for his daddy, but that daddy was never yours. He already had his own child and another woman! That malicious woman!
She couldn’t tolerate you all!
She looked down at the cool expression on the child’s face, a mix of fear and a maturity beyond his years, and her heart ached. Holding Coco, she fell asleep.
That night, Ding Ding spent the entire night in Shen Ning’s embrace. Shen Ning comforted him from time to time, surrounding him with her profound motherly love.
It was the first time Ding Ding had a peaceful sleep.
As dawn broke, Shen Ning got up from bed.
Today, she had to gather all the perfume masters from Guqi and hold a meeting to start the research and development work in advance.
She first cooked porridge in the rice cooker and steamed the xiaolongbao she bought yesterday. She boiled a few eggs as well.
After completing these tasks, as she was about to leave the kitchen, she looked up and was startled.
There, at the kitchen doorway…
Coco stood in his pajamas, looking spirited with a bright gleam in his two pitch-black eyes, staring at her.
