Chapter 9
The Identical Little Guy (1)
“… ” Mr. Luo, the housekeeper, stood there with his mouth agape.
After all, little Master Ding Ding was her biological son! As a mother, shouldn’t she be very worried?
Six years ago, she became pregnant with the young master’s twins. However, Lady Li Wanqing strongly opposed her entering the household. Later, when the children were born, Lady Li reluctantly allowed her to stay under the pretense of taking care of them, solely because Ding Ding had the same face as the young master.
And so, she stayed for six years.
Shen Mei’s current status was still just Li Zhenting’s live-in girlfriend on paper. However, she had always considered herself as the young madam of the Li’s manor.
What puzzled Mr. Luo was that, logically, Shen Mei came into the picture because of Ding Ding and should have taken pride in him. After all, he would play a significant role in the Li family’s inheritance.
But over these six years, she had shown indifference towards Ding Ding, sometimes even bordering on coldness. On the other hand, she showered Lan Lan with great affection.
Footsteps could be heard outside.
Soon, Li Zhenting’s tall and robust figure entered the room.
Cold light flickered in his sharp, ink-black eyes, exuding an aura of chilling dominance. The temperature in the entire bedroom seemed to drop instantly.
“Zhenting.”
Shen Mei’s face changed, and she immediately put down her eyebrow pencil, rubbing her eyes. She threw herself into his arms like a delicate butterfly and spoke in a coquettish voice,
“You’re finally back. Ding Ding is missing.”
“What exactly happened?” Li Zhenting forcefully pushed her away, his eyes filled with a cold and intense glare.
Shen Mei looked at him pitifully, stuttering,
“Zhenting, Ding Ding and Lan Lan had an argument. Lan Lan accidentally hit Ding Ding, and he got angry and ran off. Children often throw tantrums; he might be playing somewhere.”
“Are you sure?” Li Zhenting’s eyes grew even colder, his voice turning icy as he asked.
“… ” Shen Mei felt somewhat guilty.
Today, Lan Lan did indeed slap Ding Ding.
“Sir, we have already searched the entire mansion,” Mr. Luo cautiously spoke from the side.
“Have Lan Lan go to the study for a timeout. I’ll deal with it when I come back,” Li Zhenting issued a cold order, then turned and strode out.
Shen Mei bit her lip. However, when facing Li Zhenting, she still felt fear. She personally escorted Lan Lan to the study, but instead of making her stand, she let her sit.
Aode Arcade Center.
Just as Coco reached the entrance, suddenly, another child came running towards him and collided with him.
“Hey, who are you?” Coco touched his sore nose and unhappily exclaimed.
There was no response from the other person.
He looked up.
Holy Moly, his eyes widened.
Oh my, it was someone who looked exactly like him.
Had he time-traveled? Had he entered an anime?
“Who are you?” he stared at Ding Ding with wide eyes, asking in amazement.
Ding Ding had an expressionless face, coldly looking at him without uttering a word.
Hmm, this person seemed icy cold from head to toe. Could he be a real person?
After a moment of bewilderment, Coco extended his little finger and pinched Ding Ding’s small nose.
Hmm, the nose was soft and fleshy, and it radiated warmth. He was indeed a real person!
He looked exactly like him, how amazing!
He scratched his little head.
“Who are you? How come you look so much like me?” Ding Ding finally opened his thin lips and spoke coldly, his expression filled with arrogance.
Uh, what an attitude?
Coco felt slightly displeased. After all, he was the one who had run over and collided with him!
But the clever little Coco had already figured out what was going on.
This arrogant and icy person in front of him must be his real brother!
Heh heh, brothers wouldn’t mind such things.
“Ding Ding.” Just then, from behind them, a deep and magnetic voice resonated.
Ding Ding’s face turned pale! Oh no, Father had caught up so quickly!
He had just managed to escape and didn’t want to go back to that cold and eerie manor.
Suddenly, he gave Coco a gentle push towards Li Zhenting’s direction and swiftly ran into the arcade.
