“No, when you’re sick, you have to go to the hospital.” Li Zhenting’s tone was stern. He wished his son could be as lively and cheerful as he was a few days ago, smart and adorable.
Ding Ding impatiently got up, “No, I won’t go. Are you annoying or what? Please, just don’t bother me anymore.”
He waved his hand and headed outside, his expression dreadful and his body exuding an air of hostility. He truly looked like Li Zhenting when he was angry! Li Zhenting was irritated to the core and chased after him.
Just as he reached the front garden, he saw Li Wanqing entering with bags in her arms.
“Wow, my little grandson.” As soon as Li Wanqing saw the cool and cute Ding Ding, her eyes immediately turned into slits as she smiled with great affection. Opening her arms wide, she said, “Come over here, let grandma see if you’ve gained any weight.”
“Grandma.” Ding Ding rushed into her embrace and called out in a childish voice.
“All.” Li Wanqing’s heart melted as she held her little grandson, unable to get enough of looking at him from all sides. Finally, she kissed his rosy cheek and said, “My little grandson, I missed you so much.”
“Grandma, I don’t want to go to the hospital.” Ding Ding immediately complained to Li Wanqing.
“Go to the hospital for what?” Li Wanqing’s smile instantly disappeared, and she looked at Li Zhenting. “The child is fine. Why do you want to take him to the hospital?”
“Mom.” Li Zhenting was quite helpless. “Ding Ding’s headache has recurred. If we don’t see a doctor, the condition will worsen…”
“Nonsense, Ding Ding just doesn’t want to go to kindergarten. How can a child have headaches and brain problems? 1 see he’s perfectly fine. There’s no need to go to the hospital. I’ll be staying here temporarily this time, and I’ll personally take care of him from now on.” Before he could finish, Li Wanqing interrupted him, not giving him a chance to speak. She took Ding Ding’s small hand and walked into the house.
Li Zhenting could only shrug helplessly and let it go.
A villa with a blue-tiled roof stood before them, exuding an ancient charm.
“Secretary Li, are you sure it’s here?” Shen Ning looked at the villa and inquired to confirm.
“Absolutely, not only is it here, but it’s also the most authentic.” Secretary Li nodded with certainty.
Shen Ning’s eyes brightened.
In the past couple of days, she had been at her wit’s end trying to find Peruvian balsam. Regardless of the circumstances, as long as there was a glimmer of hope, she was willing to give it a try.
Ever since Secretary Li had nearly lost her job after helping Shen Mei create a false testimony, her loyalty had completely shifted towards Shen Ning. Compared to Shen Mei’s hypocrisy and selfishness, Shen Ning’s generosity, kindness, and meticulous expertise in perfumes had won her over.
Before becoming a secretary, she had been the manager of the marketing department, so she had a relatively good understanding of the market.
“Alright, let’s go in.” Shen Ning rang the doorbell.
What she hadn’t expected was that after she introduced herself, the security guard inside not only let them in but also warmly escorted them to an elegantly antique office.
Shen Ning was inwardly puzzled.
With her level of fame, it shouldn’t have been necessary for a security guard to be so attentive.
As she was pondering this, the office door opened automatically.
She looked up and her eyes widened.
In the spacious, exquisite, and pristine office, a young man sat behind a solemn black desk, correcting documents. His face was serene, his demeanor graceful, and he exuded an extraordinary handsomeness.
Jing Chenxi!
Shen Ning was instantly stunned.
She never could have imagined that the place Secretary Li had introduced her to was none other than the Jing Corporation.
Right, she should have thought of it. In the vast capital city, besides him, who else could have the most authentic Peruvian balsam?
“Ning Ning, please have a seat.” As Jing Chenxi saw her, he stood up immediately and warmly invited her to sit on the sofa.
“Mr. Jing, I’m sorry, I never thought I would end up coming to your place.” At this point, with no other options, Shen Ning could only smile wryly as she entered.
Given the circumstances, she had no choice but to enter. She really didn’t want to come find him, nor did she want to have any more interaction with him.
“Ning Ning, I’m genuinely glad you found your way here.” Jing Chenxi greeted her and set a cup of Dahongpao tea in front of her, his face full of remorse.
Peruvian balsam was indeed precious, but it was available in the market. He hadn’t expected that she would be searching so hard for it.
Shen Ning smiled bitterly, “I never expected it either. In the vast capital city, I can’t even find Peruvian balsam..”
