F{h*F5(. V hapter 33 Growing Suspicion, Could Ningning be Chu Chu’s Daughter?

    “Sweetie, what’s your name?”

    “My name is Ningning.”

    “Ningning...” Granny Li suddenly thought of Ning Yichu, who once said if she had a daughter, she would nickname her Ningning, hoping her life would be peaceful and joyful.

    But after Ning Yichu and Li Lingyang divorced, she left, how could it possibly be the mother of the little girl in front of her?

    Granny Li hid the bitterness in her heart and continued to smile, “Our Doudou is shy, it’s rare to find a playmate who can play freely. You should come over to play more often.”

    Ningning knew, she probably wouldn’t come often, and sweetly said, “I also really like the little sister.”

    ...

    “Where’s your daddy and mommy?”

    Ningning sneaked a glance at Li Lingyang, just about to say her daddy had gone to heaven, when Li Lingyang, sensing her glance and thinking she was seeking help, softly spoke up, “Granny, this child’s situation is a bit complicated, let’s have dinner first. They’ve played all day, they must be hungry.”

    “Right, right, right, look at me, I’d forgotten...” Granny Li patted Ningning’s head while instructing the servants to serve the dishes and handed a piece of small sugarcake to Ningning.

    The small sugarcake was much more exquisite than the ones sold outside, clearly delicious at first glance.

    “Thank you, Granny.”

    “What a good child, I wonder which parents taught such an adorable daughter...”

    The dining room in Li Mansion was also meticulously arranged, bigger than an average household, with a tablecloth embroidered with complex gold patterns on cotton and linen, and white jade vases with flower arrangements, delicate and beautiful.@@@@

    To cater to the children, the chef prepared foods that especially fit their tastes.

    The little ones stuffed themselves and quickly became full.

    After the meal, Ningning and Doudou watched antiques in the living room, while Li Lingyang showed the day’s photos to Granny Li.

    Besides the initial family photo of four, there were also many solo shots of Chengcheng and Doudou.

    When Granny Li flipped to a photo of Doudou and Ningning sitting on the time tunnel ride, her entire being stiffened, repeatedly saying, “This... this person is... Chu Chu?”

    In the corner of the photo, a woman’s partial face was captured, and though it was not the full face, Granny Li recognized her former daughter-in-law at a glance!

    Li Lingyang followed Granny Li’s gaze to the photo’s corner; he had specifically instructed the photographers not to capture Ning Yichu, yet she was inadvertently exposed, and he knit his brows slightly.

    “Is it really Chu Chu? She’s back, why didn’t you tell me earlier?”

    Once they got to the garage, Ningning didn’t want Li Lingyang to drive her, looking up with big, round eyes, “Mean Uncle, you see how busy you are with work, just let some driver uncle take me home.”

    “Weren’t you still asking me to hold you high up in the amusement park?” Li Lingyang leisurely countered, feeling that this kid was a bit double-faced, sometimes cold, sometimes warm.

    Ningning thought that she had to divert his attention, but seeing that he wasn’t easy to provoke, she still climbed into the back seat with her little bum sticking out and buckled her seat belt obediently.

    Li Lingyang slid into the driver’s seat, his thin lips faintly pursed, “Where do you live?”

    Ningning’s eyes flickered, and she said with a beaming smile, “You can just drop me off at Golden Sun Kindergarten.”

    She definitely couldn’t let him take her all the way home—what if Mommy got frightened?

    Li Lingyang raised an eyebrow and entered Golden Sun Kindergarten into the navigation—it was a kindergarten at the entrance to a residential area.

    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 house was the residential area in front of him, unbuckled his seat belt, opened the door, and said, “I’ll walk you upstairs.”

    “No need, I can do it by myself!” Ningning hopped out of the car and dashed into the residential area as if someone was chasing her.

    Li Lingyang chuckled, confirming that Ningning had entered the residential area before turning his car around to leave.

    This little girl seemed clever, with quite strong defenses.

    He became a bit curious about her mother.

    In reality, Ningning had entered the front gate of the residential area and slipped out the back gate immediately.

    She often came here to buy fruit and was very familiar with the security uncle, so she simply ran back to Junyue Mansion.

    “Mommy, I’m home...”

    Ning Yichu had been waiting for her, not daring to call for fear of giving themselves away. Seeing her little girl, she hugged her tightly as though they hadn’t seen each other in a long time, “Why have you been gone so long? It’s already dark.”

    “Mm, after playing in the amusement park, the lousy dad took me to see Granny...”

    “Granny?” Ning Yichu thought of the kind old lady from years past and asked eagerly, “You saw Granny? How is she? Is she still well?”

    After the divorce from Li Lingyang, in order to keep her child, she chose to go abroad and then moved between several cities.

    In the rush, she hadn’t had the chance to say goodbye to Granny Li; five years had passed in the blink of an eye. She had wanted to call Granny several times but felt too ashamed to do so.
