BXBX NOVEL Chapter 130 - 130:I Have No Feelings for Him
“It’s not about why. If you like someone, you like them. If you don’t, you don’t. Besides, your daddy already likes someone else, and the person he likes isn’t me,” Shen Ning gently replied, rubbing the little one’s head. She looked at his disappointed eyes with compassion.
“But what if Daddy likes you? Can you like Daddy, even just a little bit?” Ding Ding asked with hope still in his eyes.
“It’s impossible.”
Seeing the urgency in the child’s eyes, Shen Ning’s heart ached. Since she and Li Zhenting separated six years ago, it was impossible for them to be together again. Something that was impossible should not even give the child a glimmer of hope; otherwise, it would only bring him more pain and disappointment.
“Your daddy and I are from two different worlds. We can never be together. Moreover, I no longer love your daddy and have no feelings for him at all. So, in the future, you should live well with your daddy. Remember, your grandparents love you. No matter what happens, always remember to go to them, okay?”
Mommy no longer loved Daddy at all, and they could never be together. Ding Ding sniffled and tears welled up in his eyes as he nodded sadly.
Li Zhenting stood in the corridor, a cold smile playing at the corner of his lips.
She doesn’t have even the slightest feeling for him anymore. She doesn’t love him at all!
Fortunately, this woman had some self-awareness. It seemed that her schemes and tricks had unraveled six years ago, and it had left an impression on her.
It’s best that she has this mindset, or she’ll only bring trouble upon herself!
He turned away and walked down the corridor.
The next day,
Shen Ning got up early and went to the market to buy groceries. After a few days of treatment and careful care, Ding Ding’s symptoms had improved, except for a lingering cough. Once a child’s health showed signs of improvement, their appetite usually returned.
Last night, just before bedtime, he had told Shen Ning that he wanted to eat rainbow dumplings and chicken soup. Shen Ning was delighted, so she headed to the nearby market early in the morning.

When Li Zhenting arrived, he could smell the fragrant aroma from the room in the hallway. His stomach even grumbled involuntarily. He walked in.
“Here, hold it like this, pinch both sides gently, and press lightly,” in the hospital room, Shen Ning was teaching Ding Ding how to wrap dumplings. Ding Ding sat on a small stool, concentrating on learning, and his little hands were covered in flour.
“Yay, I did it!” Soon, Ding Ding happily raised the dumpling he had wrapped over his head, revealing a row of small white teeth as he smiled.
“Ding Ding, you did a great job!” Shen Ning kissed his little face and praised him with a beaming smile.
A faint blush appeared on Ding Ding’s face.
Li Zhenting watched his son’s radiant smile and couldn’t help but feel moved. This might be the umpteenth time he had seen his son smile so brightly. He couldn’t remember Ding Ding ever smiling like this before.
The interaction between Shen Ning and the child truly resembled that of a biological mother and son. It gave him a strange illusion that Ding Ding was Shen Ning’s biological child. But how could that be possible?
Six years ago, he had never touched Shen Ning. How could she have given birth to Ding Ding for him?
He thought it must be because Shen Mei and Shen Ning were sisters. Shen Ning had a good and approachable personality, which made the little guy really attached to her.
“You’ve wrapped the dumplings quite nicely,” Li Zhenting said with a slight smile, looking at the various shapes and colors of dumplings in the bowl.
Shen Ning had heard his footsteps in the hallway and knew he had arrived. Just like the previous days, she didn’t lift her head or show any change in her demeanor. She maintained the appropriate politeness—neither cold nor distant, neither too close nor too far..
