She noticed a family of four occupying the adjacent table, and her gaze immediately fixated on the tall and graceful figure of Li Zhenting. Walking behind him, Shen Mei led Lanlan and Dingding, all with radiant expressions, toward their table.
She was left in awe.
Heavens, it seemed that destiny had a way of showing up everywhere! Even during a simple meal, amidst this vast expanse of beach with hundreds of tables, they had coincidentally ended up side by side, becoming neighboring diners.
It was unbelievably serendipitous!
However, upon further contemplation, she realized there was nothing particularly peculiar about it. She had invited Jing Chenxi to dinner and selected the finest table to match his stature. Likewise, Li Zhenting, the wealthiest man in the entire capital, had surely chosen the best spot as well. Consequently, the probability of their paths crossing tonight was easily around ninety percent!
What she hadn’t anticipated, though, was that they would both be dining here tonight.

In return, Dingding was looking right at her.
Their eyes met.
Dingding’s clear eyes held a smile.
Shen Ning was overwhelmed with a blend of surprise and joy, her eyes growing slightly teary as she gazed at him.
Dingding pulled his hand free from Lanlan’s grasp and was about to run towards Mommy. But Shen Ning signaled to him with her eyes, and he paused, remembering her morning instructions. He reluctantly suppressed his impulse.
“Oh, sister, you’re here too,” Shen Mei noticed Shen Ning and warmly approached to greet her.
“Yes,” Shen Ning replied with a casual “yes.”
At that moment, Li Zhenting also spotted Shen Ning and Jing Chenxi. He was momentarily taken aback, his face tensing up.
This woman just wouldn’t disappear, would she? Encountering her here of all places, and to make things even more awkward, they had ended up as neighboring diners.
Was she doing this intentionally?
“Mr. Li,” Jing Chenxi stood up and extended his hand to Li Zhenting, initiating the greeting.
After briefly shaking hands with Jing Chenxi, Li Zhenting withdrew his hand and replied with a smirk, “Mr. Jing really has a taste for elegance, choosing such a lively place for a private rendezvous. Are you seeking others’ blessings or just trying to make people envious?”
His words carried a clear tone of sarcasm, apparent to most people.
However, Jing Chenxi ignored the sarcasm and simply smiled,” Ningning invited me tonight, and I selected this place.”
She invited him!
Li Zhenting’s eyes flashed with a hint of disdain. He cast a cold, mocking glance at Shen Ning.
Shen Ning was also looking in his direction.

Shen Ning also withdrew her gaze and calmly took her seat.
At first, she had felt a bit uneasy, but seeing the disdainful look in Li Zhenting’s eyes had an unexpected calming effect on her.
“You don’t like me being here? Well, that’s your issue. This place doesn’t belong to you alone. If you can be here, so can 1. Besides, 1 arrived first. If it makes you unhappy, then so be it. My happiness matters more.”
She smiled and struck up a conversation with Jing Chenxi. If it weren’t for Dingding’s presence, she would have been even more carefree and indifferent.
“Daddy, it’s her, it’s this lady. 1 want her to be my therapist,” Dingding suddenly had a bad feeling when he saw Mommy dining with a strange man. He glanced at Daddy, who had a dark and surly expression, and immediately ran over to point at Shen Ning earnestly.
This time, Li Zhenting was furious.
Sure enough, this kid wanted Shen Ning.
“No, she’s not a therapist at all,” he categorically refused.
“But 1 want her. I’ll only study well and make progress if she becomes my therapist. 1 won’t listen to anyone else,” Dingding protested vehemently, his attitude resolute.
Now, Li Zhenting was even more infuriated..
