Chapter 43: Chapter 43 Twin Telepathy

    Doudou bit her tender little mouth and silently shook her head.

    “But didn’t Nanny He say you were feeling unwell?” Shen Jiangqing asked with a smile that did not reach her eyes, slowly tightening her grip on Doudou’s arm. “Look at you, you’re even breaking out in a cold sweat?”

    Doudou’s shoulder was in pain as she broke free from Shen Jiangqing’s grasp and turned to run upstairs.

    Watching her retreating figure, Shen Jiangqing said to Nanny He, “Nanny He, Doudou can be willful at times, acting pitiful for attention. I’m afraid you’ve been fooled by her.”

    Nanny He felt uncomfortable and wanted to say that Little Miss did not seem to be pretending, but Shen Jiangqing was the mistress of the house, so she dared not contradict her.

    Shen Jiangqing then said, “From now on, you’d better focus your attention on Chengcheng.”

    ...

    “Yes.”

    That damn girl used to be as docile as a kitten, not causing any trouble, and that was fine. But now with Ning Yichu and that wild child showing up one after another, the more she saw of her, the more displeased she felt.

    The night deepened, descending like a curtain unfurling slowly.

    Li Lingyang had just finished an important meeting. When he returned to his office, there were several thick stacks of documents on his desk, like small mountains.

    “President Li, the urgent batch is the one on the right,” Special Assistant Xu reminded him.

    Li Lingyang glanced at the documents and flipped through them unhurriedly.

    The moon hung on the branches, and its pure light spilled through the glass windows, mixing with the warm glow of the light bulbs, casting a faint silver light on his handsome face.

    The buzzing vibration of his phone broke the silence of the office.

    He saw it was Doudou’s number and thought a servant was conveying a message from her. When he answered, there was silence; it was clear that Doudou herself was on the other end.

    “Baby, why aren’t you asleep so late?” Li Lingyang soothed softly.

    “Um...” Periodic painful grunts could be heard through the earpiece.

    Li Lingyang’s expression changed slightly. “Doudou, are you not feeling well?”

    Thud.

    It seemed the children’s phone was not held steady as it slipped from Doudou’s hand and smashed, and the sound that then reached Li Lingyang was the shrill noise of an electrical current.

    Doudou buried her head deep into Li Lingyang’s shoulder, consenting with her silence.

    Li Lingyang carried Doudou and hurried to the hospital.

    Meanwhile, Shen Jiangqing felt her heart sink with anxiety. Could there really be a telepathic connection between mother and child?

    Everyone thought Doudou and Chengcheng were twins, and Old Lady Li had accepted Chengcheng only because of Doudou’s paternity test, but the truth... Shen Jiangqing was clearer on it than anyone.

    A cold glint flashed in Shen Jiangqing’s cool eyes as she immediately went to wake Chengcheng to have him accompany Doudou to the hospital.

    “Mummy, it’s really late. I still have to go to school tomorrow,” Chengcheng said, rubbing his sleepy eyes impatiently.

    “Chengcheng, Doudou is your little sister. She’s sick and feeling very unwell now. As her brother, you should spend more time with her to make her like you more. That way, Daddy will also think you’re sensible and will be more likely to hand over the Li Group to you sooner...” Shen Jiangqing coaxed with earnestness.

    Chengcheng pouted, “That mute girl is no fun; I don’t want to play with her.”

    “You go with her tonight, and I’ll reward you with the model you like the most.”

    In the end, under the temptation of the model, Chengcheng got dressed and went with Shen Jiangqing to the hospital to accompany Doudou.

    At the private hospital, the doctor, as always, gave Doudou a full-body examination.

    Li Lingyang waited in the corridor and saw Shen Jiangqing and Chengcheng arrive, his brows slightly furrowed, “Why did you come?”

    “Daddy, is sister all right? I’m really worried about her,” Chengcheng said, showing concern.

    Li Lingyang patted Chengcheng’s head, “With Daddy here, your sister won’t have any problems. Go back home now; children shouldn’t stay up late.”

    “No, I won’t go.” Chengcheng’s young face was scrunched up, his gaze fixed on the examination room, “Doudou and I are twins; I can feel that she’s very uncomfortable right now. I want to stay with her.”

    Seeing his determination to wait for Doudou, Li Lingyang felt gratified and said no more.

    Half an hour later, Doudou had finished her examination and was wheeled by the medical staff into the ward to rest.

    A doctor in a white coat, while taking off his mask, approached Li Lingyang, “President Li...”

    “How is Doudou?”

    Li Lingyang’s voice, edged with concern, was cold and stern.

    The doctor, appearing helpless, said, “We’ve done all the examinations, and just like before, according to the results, the Little Miss is very healthy. There is no problem at all.”
