“I’m sorry, Ding Ding. Auntie got delayed because of something, but I promise 1 won’t be late again in the future.” Shen Ning immediately crouched down in front of Ding Ding and apologized softly, feeling deeply guilty.
It hurt her heart to see the child hadn’t eaten dinner at this hour just because she hadn’t come back.
“Auntie, did that bad person bully you today?” Ding Ding’s little hand touched Shen Ning’s bruised cheek, and he asked with concern.
Shen Ning’s eyes turned red, and she quickly shook her head. “No, don’t worry. There won’t be any bad people bullying me anymore.”
“Okay, if anyone dares to bully you again, you tell me right away, and 1’11 get revenge for you.” Ding Ding held his little fist and earnestly advised.
Shen Ning nodded emphatically and said seriously, “Ding Ding, you also have to promise Auntie that if I’m not around, you’ll eat your meals properly.”
“Okay.” The little guy thought for a moment and then nodded, tapping his little head in agreement.
“Then, let’s pinky swear.” Shen Ning extended her little finger, feeling worried.

Mother and son locked their pinkies and made a promise, both of them smiling warmly.
Li Zhenting stood by, coldly observing them.
Next, Shen Ning got busy. She first took care of Ding Ding’s meal and medicine, then took him for a bath.
After his bath, Ding Ding wanted to play a game. These days, Shen Ning often played a particular parent-child game with Ding Ding to help him develop psychological stability and adaptability.
Back in the United States, she used to play similar games with Keke and Xiaoxiao. The children had always enjoyed them, but the only regret was the absence of a father’s participation. In the United States, that was impossible.
Today’s game required Li Zhenting’s participation since parent-child games were more effective when fathers were involved. In the past, there had been no choice in the matter.
Ding Ding immediately reached out his little hand toward Li Zhenting. Li Zhenting glanced at Shen Ning, walked over, and extended his finger to the little guy.
Ding Ding firmly held their hands together, not letting them separate.
Shen Ning quickly said, “Ding Ding, you don’t need Dad and Auntie to hold hands. It might make your mommy angry if she sees this.”
She tried to free her hand with force, but Li Zhenting, intentionally or unintentionally, held her hand tightly.
Shen Ning struggled to break free, casting him an annoyed glance.
Li Zhenting’s lips curled slightly.
“Well, here’s how it goes: each of us uses our index and middle fingers to ‘walk’ on the bed. We take turns shouting ’stop,’ and when we do, our fingers have to jump into a circle. The one who does it faster wins.”
“What do you get if you win?” Li Zhenting asked casually.
“In principle, the winner can tickle the loser,” Shen Ning answered honestly.
Li Zhenting rubbed his fingers. “Fine.”
“No, I want money. I want money,” Ding Ding suddenly protested loudly.
Well, this little money enthusiast!
Li Zhenting’s face darkened, and he glared at Ding Ding in disagreement.
“No, 1 want money, 1 want money,” Ding Ding insisted, wiggling his bottom and throwing a tantrum.
“All right, 1 agree,” Shen Ning quickly sided with her son. “Majority rules.”

“Fine,” he reluctantly agreed at last.
Shen Ning pursed her lips and smiled.
The game began, with the three taking turns calling “stop.” Each time they did, Ding Ding intentionally blocked Li Zhenting’s fingers, allowing Shen Ning’s fingers to enter the circle.
After several rounds, without exception, Li Zhenting lost another hundred thousand.
Of course, all the money went into Shen Ning’s pocket.
Seeing his dad losing money, Ding Ding was especially delighted, his little face turning red from laughter.
Shen Ning was also pleased; she needed money, and it came quite quickly.
Only Li Zhenting was itching with frustration, displeased with Ding Ding’s greediness.
But he wasn’t such a stingy person to be bothered by this amount of money.
After playing for a while, Shen Ning worried that Ding Ding would be too excited to sleep, so she asked Li Zhenting to tell him a bedtime story while she made an excuse to go to the bathroom.
She had to start detaching herself at the right time. Otherwise, when she eventually left, Ding Ding wouldn’t adapt well.
In the shower room, just as Shen Ning had stepped in, her phone suddenly rang..
