Chapter 25: Chapter 25 My Dad and the Little Fairies Ascended to Heaven Together@@@@

    Ningning couldn’t help swallowing her saliva—she was a little foodie, why did they have to tempt her with delicious food!

    Her deadbeat dad was really too bad!

    “I eat a lot. I’m going to eat you out of house and home!” she said fiercely.

    “If you can eat me out of house and home, that’d be quite the feat,” Li Lingyang found the little girl’s bold words quite novel. His own two kids, one was restrained and mature, the other was timid and well-behaved, none were like her, so mischievously clever.

    That made him quite fond of her.

    At the restaurant on the top floor of Huacheng Hotel, Li Lingyang had booked the place.

    ...

    The hotel manager came over with the menu, a very careful smile on his face.

    Li Lingyang handed the menus to both Doudou and Ningning.

    “Order whatever you like.”

    Looking at the prices on the menu, Ningning wondered, was the green vegetable made of gold? A simple dish of greens cost hundreds, with this money, shouldn’t it better go to buying new clothes and toys for Little Yudian?

    “Can I order anything?”

    “Yes.”

    “Then I want this, and this, and this...”

    Ningning was determined to make Li Lingyang bleed money, specifically choosing the most expensive dishes.

    Li Lingyang didn’t show any extra emotion on his face and instructed the chef to make the dishes lighter and softer.

    When Ningning ordered the Brav oysters, the manager suddenly became a bit awkward, “I’m really sorry, but we just ran out of the Brav oysters today. How about replacing it with Australian lobster?”

    Ningning deliberately pouted her little face and said regretfully, “Bad uncle, didn’t you say I could order anything?”

    “Have someone go to the nearest seafood market to stock up,” Li Lingyang instructed the manager without hesitation, “I want to see this dish on the table in an hour.”

    The manager hurriedly closed the menu to make a phone call.

    Ningning was momentarily stunned, marveling internally, is this what they call financial power?

    Her dad was handsome and rich, if only he weren’t such a scumbag...

    She quickly shook her head.

    Had she forgotten how her mommy used to secretly cry while looking at his photo?

    She couldn’t let herself be bought off!

    Li Lingyang noticed her rich little expressions and suddenly became curious, “Where are your daddy and mommy? Is it usually the nanny who takes you out to play?”

    Two minutes later, the bodyguard sent a message confirming they had gotten into the car and left.

    The girl was quite spirited.

    He looked at Doudou affectionately, “Have you eaten enough?”

    Doudou nodded, feeling a bit uneasy, um, it seemed like the little sister didn’t like Daddy much, maybe it’d be better not to disturb them again.

    “Let’s go home too then.”

    Li Lingyang’s strong arm gently pulled Doudou into his embrace, making her sit in the crook of his arm, then they left by car.

    ...

    While waiting for Aunt Wang and Ningning to return, Ning Yichu had thought it over thoroughly, she had been busy going to the sanatorium these past few days and had neglected Ningning. So, when Aunt Wang brought Ningning back, she couldn’t wait to ask a lot of questions.

    “How did you end up having dinner with Li Lingyang? What exactly happened?”

    “Mommy, it’s not what you think,” Ningning kicked off her little shoes, climbed onto the couch, and said in her milky voice, “I didn’t deliberately go looking for that jerk dad, it happened while Doudou and I were playing at the waterpark, and he came and invited me to dinner...”

    Ning Yichu had never told them that Doudou was Li Lingyang’s daughter; after all, the world of children is very simple.

    But she would never have expected that someone with Doudou’s background would run into Ningning.

    Shouldn’t she be playing in some private, fancy playground?

    “When did you play with Doudou again? Why didn’t you tell me?”

    Ningning, feeling guilty, didn’t dare admit that she and her brother had gone to find Doudou.

    “It was just a chance encounter, Mommy, don’t panic. I told that jerk dad that my daddy went to heaven, and he believed it completely, with his dumb look, he’ll never guess we’re related.”

    Ning Yichu almost rolled her eyes to the ceiling; only this little girl would dare call Li Lingyang a fool—so many people in the business world are terrified of him?

    It was both funny and frustrating.

    “Mommy’s fragrance.” Ningning, like a little kitten, rubbed her face against Ning Yichu’s.

    Ning Yichu comforted herself, after all, it wasn’t a big deal.

    With Imperial City being so vast, they were bound to run into each other eventually, and even if Li Lingyang found out Ningning was her daughter, so what? Ningning didn’t look like him anyway; she couldn’t afford to lose her composure.

    Soon, it was the weekend.

    First thing in the morning, Ning Yichu took Ningning to Baili Orphanage to pick up Chen Bao.

    So many days had passed and Li Lingyang hadn’t shown up at her door, she desperately hoped he had given up searching for Chen Bao.

    Ningning was most excited about going to the amusement park, chattering nonstop all morning.

    Chen Bao, on the other hand, was very indifferent; to him, it didn’t matter where they went to play.

    Meanwhile, at the Li Mansion, Li Lingyang, as usual, brought Doudou and Chengcheng to visit Granny Li; he would normally have left after dropping them off, but today he unexpectedly stayed for breakfast.

    Seeing that it was getting late, Doudou hastily proposed going to the amusement park.
