Chapter 26: Chapter 26 Trip to the Amusement Park

    “Amusement park?” Granny Li was shocked for a moment. Doudou had never liked crowded places, let alone noisy and chaotic places like amusement parks.

    Doudou blinked her big eyes, indicating she had never been to one and would like to see it.

    That look of anticipation made it impossible for Granny Li to utter a word of refusal.

    “I heard our Doudou made a new friend, and she’s become more cheerful because of it. All those quack doctors saying Doudou has autism—I think she just hadn’t found the right playmate.”

    Li Lingyang also noticed the change in Doudou’s mood, “Daddy has a meeting today, but I’ll take you to play tomorrow.”

    Doudou shook her head like a bobblehead toy. A bodyguard taking her to play was fine; she didn’t need him to follow.

    ...

    She certainly hadn’t forgotten that big brother and big sister didn’t like daddy.

    Li Lingyang obviously didn’t feel reassured, “Then I will have your mommy accompany you.”

    Since mommy and brother didn’t care for her anyway, all she needed was to find a way to slip away, thought Doudou, nodding her head.

    Granny Li was not pleased and glared at her grandson with a face full of disdain, “Doudou finally wants you to take her to the amusement park, and you’re still talking about what meeting? How many meetings do you have every day, can you even finish them all? If Shen Jiangqing could take care of the children properly, would Doudou have ended up like this?”

    Li Lingyang knew Granny Li didn’t like Shen Jiangqing. Even when Shen Jiangqing was pregnant, she wouldn’t let her enter their home, bluntly telling her to rent a place to stay outside.

    Even after Shen Jiangqing gave birth to the twins, she had someone monitor them for a paternity test.

    Only when the paternity test came back did she reluctantly agree to let Shen Jiangqing move into Imperial Dragon Bay to care for the children.

    However, even so, Granny Li still did not accept Shen Jiangqing. Today, Shen Jiangqing didn’t come because she knew she would only be disdained by Granny Li.

    Doudou certainly did not want her daddy to change his mind and quickly gestured to persuade Granny Li that going with mommy was fine too!

    As a result, Granny Li was even more resentful toward Li Lingyang, “Look at how well-behaved and understanding Doudou is. How can you bear to miss her growing up? Where is the qualified and competent father in you?”

    A hint of gloom appeared on Li Lingyang’s handsome face.

    In fact, Doudou was very smart when she was little. She started speaking before she was one year old, several months earlier than Chengcheng.@@@@

    When she called out to him in her cute, milky voice, he felt like he was the happiest man in the world with the cutest little princess, wishing he could give her all the best...

    “Daddy, I want to ride that roller coaster!” Chengcheng despised such a childish game.

    Shen Jiangqing hugged Chengcheng and said, “Let’s accompany your sister on the ferris wheel first.”

    Chengcheng could only pout unwillingly, “Alright then.”

    The family headed toward the ferris wheel.

    Once in the ferris wheel, Doudou started texting Ningning, “I accidentally brought daddy along, what should I do?”

    Meanwhile, Ning Yichu had also brought Ningning and Chen Bao to the western part of the theme park, which was the forest section, with a little train, elephants, and a dense forest filled with rocks and trees.

    Ningning loved riding the little train the most. Just after getting off it, she saw a message notification. When she opened it, her little mouth formed into an irregular ‘O’.

    Chen Bao whispered, “What’s wrong?”

    “Brother, little sister brought that scumbag dad to the theme park too.”

    Chen Bao frowned, glanced at Ning Yichu not far off in line, and said, “Ask them which section they’re in? The theme park is huge, we just need to be careful to avoid them.”

    Ningning thought it made sense and promptly sent the message.

    On the ferris wheel, when Doudou saw the message and checked the location, thankfully they were in different sections—one in the east and one in the west, quite far apart.

    “Will you be mad at me?”

    Of course, Ningning wasn’t mad anymore; it wasn’t something she could control, but she said regretfully, “Ah, it’s just that with you and your daddy together, it probably won’t be convenient to meet my mom.”

    Seeing the message, Doudou instantly deflated like a punctured beachball, head drooping lifelessly, nothing like the energetic appearance when they first arrived at the theme park.

    Li Lingyang noticed his daughter looking at her children’s phone and said gently, “Kids shouldn’t always play with phones; your eyes aren’t fully developed yet, it could affect your vision.”

    Doudou looked at daddy, then at mommy and Chengcheng, and secretly made up her mind!

    After getting off the ferris wheel, she held her little belly indicating she needed to use the restroom; naturally, Li Lingyang couldn’t follow her into the women’s restroom, so Shen Jiangqing volunteered to accompany her.

    The restroom at the theme park was crowded and the air was stale, so Shen Jiangqing didn’t go in but waited outside.

    Doudou used this opportunity, with the advantage of her small stature, to scurry away quickly to the side.

    By the time Shen Jiangqing realized Doudou was missing, several minutes had already passed.
