Chapter 10
Watch How I Deal With You!
“Kid, who allowed you to run away from home? It’s dangerous, you know?” Coco hadn’t quite understood what was happening when a strong hand grabbed his little arm. Li Zhenting’s eyes gleamed with authority as he spoke with a serious tone.
Coco lifted his head and took a sharp breath!
Indeed, he was the handsome uncle he had encountered at the high-speed rail station yesterday! His scumbag father!
His clever eyes blinked.
Got it! Fight fire with fire!
Suddenly, he leaned into the man’s arms and pretended to be asleep!
Hmph, he dared to bully his mommy and then abandon her. Scumbag!
Watch how I deal with you!
A plan had formed in his little head!
Li Zhenting looked down and saw his son obediently nestled in his embrace. Coco’s long eyelashes occasionally trembled, adding an indescribable cuteness to his innocent face.
The corner of Li Zhenting’s lips curved slightly.
Kid, afraid of punishment, huh?
He didn’t expose him at that moment. He tightened his grip on Coco’s arm and carried him towards the luxurious car.
Coco was lifted off the ground by Li Zhenting, his powerful arms securely holding him, and his robust chest radiating warmth.
The little one momentarily felt dazed!
This was the first time he had been carried by his father!
His father’s embrace was firm and comfortable. He had never experienced this sense of security before; it was completely different from when mommy held him.
So, this is what it feels like to have a father!
The luxury car headed towards the Li family castle.
They arrived shortly after.
Coco discreetly opened his curious eyes and stole glances outside through the gap between Li Zhenting’s arms.
Oh my goodness, is this a palace?
How grand and luxurious it is!
His eyes widened as the car passed by. He felt like he was indulging in a visual feast. The castle was surrounded by lush trees, adorned with dazzling lights. Magnificent villas, exuding opulence and grandeur, stood in an intricate arrangement, resembling a kingdom from a fairy tale.
Even when the nanny led him out of the shower after bathing, he still stood there, lost in a dreamlike state.
Li Zhenting approached after finishing his shower and saw his son standing there in a dazed manner, his small figure appearing particularly lonely. His heart sank.
“Son, come here. Father wants to have a proper talk with you tonight.” He gently tousled Coco’s hair and spoke in a warm tone.
Coco finally snapped out of it and looked at the noble man before him.
He was dressed in a dark blue bathrobe, emanating an aura of authority and mystery. His tall and lean figure seemed even more noble and aloof under the palace chandelier, as if he were unattainable.
But at this moment, his eyes and brows exuded kindness and warmth, creating a desire in Coco to get closer to him.
Coco’s thoughts wavered, and he scratched his little head, secretly reproaching himself:
Coco, weren’t you here to seek revenge for mommy? How did you develop a favorable impression of this scumbag father?
This was absolutely unacceptable!
He had hurt mommy, and mommy was furious with him.
If mommy was angry, he had to be angry too!
“Scumbag!” he blurted out suddenly.
Li Zhenting was momentarily taken aback and quickly asked, “Coco, what did you say?”
“Nothing, I didn’t say anything.” Coco, being clever, immediately sensed the chill coming from his scumbag father and slyly shook his head.
Li Zhenting paused for a moment and sighed.
His son called him a scumbag, and he wasn’t deaf, so he heard it.
This child held a deep grudge against him! It was probably because of Shen Mei, his mother.
Shen Mei had been living in the Li family for six years now.
During these six years, he hadn’t given her a formal status. The outside world speculated and occasionally mocked her for being an unwed mother living in a man’s house. The pressure must have been immense, not to mention the fact that she had been forced on him after being drugged…
Perhaps that was the reason for Shen Mei’s inconsistent behavior towards Coco!
Actually, he didn’t want it to be this way!
But he couldn’t settle for just any marriage!
Since Shen Ning’s death, Shen Mei hadn’t left a good impression on him. He had already experienced a failed marriage, so he became more cautious about marriage.
However, for the sake of his son, he couldn’t continue dragging this on.
