When Luo Chao walked into the living room of the villa, he saw Ning Doudou sitting on the carpet playing with her toys, which made Luo Chao's eyes light up imdiately. Little Doudou could sit up!
Luo Chao walked over joyfully, and Aunt Zhou, who was with Ning Doudou, looked at his surprised expression and laughed, "Young Master Luo, in the days you weren't ho, little Doudou learned how to sit up. Look, she's sitting so steadily."
Ning Doudou was almost seven months old now, just at the age to learn sitting up. Luo Chao nodded and said with a smile, "Little Doudou is getting more skilled, hehe."
"Aunt Zhou, let spend so ti with Doudou. You can take a break," Luo Chao had not seen Doudou for several days, and when he saw her round little face, he felt a wave of warmth rising up inside him.
"Just now, Doudou wet the sheet, so I'll go wash it," Aunt Zhou said, then walked away, while Luo Chao lay on the carpet, wrapping his head around the back of Ning Doudou's little head, ready to give little Doudou a surprise.
At that mont, Ning Doudou sensed soone behind her and turned her little face slightly. When she saw Luo Chao's face, she let out a surprised scream of joy, babbling excitedly and smiling so much that her mouth couldn't close, even holding Luo Chao's face with her hands and grasping it tightly.
Even though Luo Chao felt a bit of pain, the sense of happiness outweighed everything. Letting Ning Doudou scratch his face, he said, "Little Doudou, are you so happy because Daddy is back?"
"Babble babble," Ning Doudou exclaid in her baby voice, looking so adorable that Luo Chao's smile turned his eyes into slits as he picked up little Doudou, saying, "Co here, Daddy hasn't held you in days. Daddy wants to hold you."
Ning Zongze and Huang Lili were sitting on the sofa, watching Luo Chao hold Ning Doudou and spinning around. They were playing and laughing happily.
"Zongze, look, Luo Chao really likes Doudou," Huang Lili laughed, covering her lips.
Ning Zongze laughed heartily, "Of course, little Doudou is so adorable. I've only been interacting with her for a few days, and I already like her a lot. I treat her like my own granddaughter."
Huang Lili shook her head, "That's not what I an. Don't you think they really look like a father and daughter? That kind of affection is genuine."
Ning Zongze paused, then laughed and gave her a funny look, "You're not even old yet, why are you losing your mind so quickly?"
Huang Lili rembered that her precious daughter and Luo Chao had known each other for only a few months, and Ning Doudou was born after ten months of pregnancy and was now almost seven months old. Such an idea was indeed too absurd!
"Well, let's just say Doudou and Luo Chao have a special bond," Huang Lili smiled gently.
If there wasn't any bond, how could Luo Chao beco Ning Doudou's de facto dad? At that mont, footsteps were heard from upstairs, and Ning Wanxi ca down wearing pajamas.
Ning Wan was surprisingly at ho and not at work? Luo Chao was surprised while holding Doudou, as today was Thursday. Even on weekends, Ning Wanxi would go to the company for overti work, let alone it being a workday Thursday.
Even wearing pajamas, Ning Wanxi's figure was still beautifully complented, her face remaining cool with a slight sickly pallor, which Luo Chao, as a Chinese dicine doctor, imdiately recognized as the onset of her stomach condition!
"Wanxi, are you feeling better?" When Ning Wanxi ca down the stairs, Ning Zongze asked with concern.
Ning Wanxi nodded, "Yes, feeling a bit better," as she slowly walked over to Luo Chao and, biting her lip, softly asked, "Is your wound healed?"
At this mont, it was their first eting after that near-death experience, still rembering being tightly embraced in the narrow crevice, the atmosphere so ambiguous.
But both returned to reality, back to continuing the contractual path. Although Ning Wanxi resented his infidelity, she still couldn't be completely indifferent, so she walked up and asked with concern.
Seeing this, Huang Lili quickly took Ning Doudou and said to Ning Zongze, "Zongze, let's take Doudou out for a bit."
Ning Zongze understood and smiled, "Okay!" With that, the couple took Ning Doudou and left.
After seeing Ning Zongze and his wife leave, Luo Chao smiled, "It's nothing serious anymore."
They suddenly fell into silence, not knowing what to say. Rembering what the little nurse told him, echoing in his ears, Luo Chao hesitated before speaking, "President Ning, has your illness been cured?"
That night, Luo Chao clearly rembered that when Ning Wanxi tightly embraced him, there was no sense of strong resistance or aversion in her eyes.
So, Luo Chao wondered if Ning Wanxi had experienced a blessing in disguise after surviving the life-threatening trap?
Ning Wanxi was taken aback, feeling it slightly amusing inside, enough to curve the corners of her lips slightly: "Didn't you see my stomach condition's acting up!"
"Uh!" Luo Chao's face instantly froze as if turned to stone. Though Ning Wanxi's words were layered, how could Luo Chao not hear the underlying aning, that she wanted to vomit but couldn't, causing a stomach condition!
Luo Chao felt as if his brain was caught in a door; how could it possibly co to this?
"Okay, I guess I was overthinking," Luo Chao said with a bitter smile.
An emotional wound lasting more than 20 years seed impossible to heal, even after such a dangerous ordeal. Ning Wanxi hadn't unlocked her Heart Demon; there was no cure, absolutely no cure!
"By the way, there's sothing I need to tell you," Luo Chao suddenly said.
Ning Wanxi paused, "What is it?"
Luo Chao hesitated, "I have to make a trip in a few days."
"Where?" Ning Wanxi asked, furrowing her brows, sensing sothing was off about his sudden long trip.
Luo Chao obviously couldn't say it directly, so he turned it around and said, "To Southeast City for so matters."
Ning Wanxi laughed coldly, "Going to see Li Ruotong, right!"
Luo Chao was stunned. President Ning was too smart; how did she seem to know everything? What he hadn't considered was that Li Ruotong was now the spokesperson for Tengyuan Group Costics, and Ning Wanxi couldn't possibly be unaware of her movents. Li Ruotong was in the United States and was about to fly back to Southeast City to continue promoting her debut film.
Could Luo Chao deny it now? Clearly impossible. He had no choice but to admit, "Well, I wouldn't say I'm going to see her. She's in a bit of danger, and soone wants to harm her. I need to protect her."
