Chapter 34
She Didn’t Dare to Hope for It
“Ningning, you’re still as gentle and beautiful as ever,” Jing Chenxi elegantly stirred his coffee with his fingers, a faint hint of melancholy in his eyes as he spoke in a warm tone, “Can you tell me where you’ve been all these years?”
Shen Ning smiled lightly, “Mr. Jing, you’ve achieved great success in these years, basking in the spring breeze. I can’t compare myself to you.”
Just now, she had searched on Baidu and found that Jing Chenxi had become one of the wealthiest business tycoons in the city, with influence rivaling that of Li Zhenting.
With such an illustrious background and formidable strength, she believed she had no qualifications to be involved with him, especially considering she was already a mother to two children.
She only wanted to seek revenge for her mother and then leave this place with her children, living a quiet life of modest means. As for other matters, such as love, she had long stopped daring to hope for it.
“Mr. Jing, I came here solely to find Peru balsam. I have some matters to attend to at the company, so I’ll take my leave.” After only a brief moment of sitting, she hastily bid farewell and departed.
Jing Chenxi watched her retreating figure, his gaze filled with depth and desolation.
Half-past five in the afternoon.
Coco, dressed in a white shirt, jeans, and a beret, carrying a small bag, and gliding on his super cool rollerblades, set off.
Today, he was going to pick up Mommy from work. It had been several days since he last saw her.
He missed Mommy so much!
As he made his way, his feet seemed to skate on the wind and fire, drawing admiring glances from many passersby.
Half an hour later.
Coco stood in the corridor of Guqi’s office.
Oh no, he arrived late. Many of the offices were already empty.
But where was Mommy’s office?
He scratched his head, regretting not contacting Mommy earlier.
When he took out his phone watch to call Mommy, he discovered her phone was turned off!
“Little friend, who are you looking for?” The receptionist was tidying up, preparing to lock the doors for closing time when she suddenly looked up and saw a four or five-year-old cutie standing in the corridor.
The little cutie wore a white shirt and jeans, had fair and clean skin, and big sparkling eyes that were especially endearing.
He instantly captivated her.
Coco turned his head and flashed the receptionist an angelic smile, sweetly saying, “Beautiful miss, I’m looking for… looking for Shen… Mei.”
Originally, he wanted to say he was looking for Shen Ning, but he was clever and had an idea.
Mommy had been beaten by Shen Mei, indicating that Shen Mei had more power than Mommy.
He wanted to use Shen Mei to find out about Mommy’s situation here.
Sure enough, as soon as Shen Mei was mentioned, the receptionist’s eyes widened, and she immediately walked over, her face filled with surprise.
“You, are you the young master of the Li family? You’re Ms Shen’s son?”
Her eyes were brimming with disbelief.
The little one in front of her looked exactly like Li Zhenting, as if they were carbon copies. He must be the son Shen Mei had for Li Zhenting.
He was simply too handsome!
Mr Li must have married Shen Mei because she had given birth to such a cute and beautiful son. What man could bear to have his own son without a mother?
She believed she had stumbled upon an unprecedented opportunity, and the more she thought about it, the more excited she became.
But Coco pouted, furrowing his brows.
This receptionist was going a bit too far, always staring at his face with a foolish expression.
Although he was handsome, he didn’t think he could attract such a mature lady like her.
“Young Master, your mommy isn’t in the company right now. She didn’t come to work today.” She bent down with a smiling face, showing great attentiveness.
