Chapter 939 - 936:

Chapter 939: Chapter 936:

Le Zhengsheng parked the car in the garage and got out holding Jiujiu.

In her father’s arms, Jiujiu was chubby and uttered, "Candy, candy..."

Le Zhengsheng laughed, took a candy out of his pocket, unwrapped it, and stuffed it into his daughter’s mouth. "That’s the last one for today. Eat too many, and your teeth will fall out, hmm?"

"Hmm," Jiujiu mumbled with the candy, seemingly glued to her father’s body.

"We’re here."

Le Zhengsheng carried Jiujiu into the hallway and heard laughter inside, which seemed to include a woman’s voice?

Instantly, Le Zhengsheng frowned.

Going inside, he indeed saw his father, Le Zhengpeng, and Aunt in the flower hall, accompanied by a young girl.

Tut... Le Zhengsheng was troubled; his father had become more obsessed with his personal matters as he aged.

"..." Suddenly, the little figure of Jiujiu twitched.

"What’s wrong?" Le Zhengsheng frowned, worried about his daughter, "Jiujiu, are you uncomfortable?"

Jiujiu stared at the flower hall, unhappily pouting her lips.

Although the little girl was small, she had been through many situations like this at home.

Grandpa always brought various women home, wanting to make them her mom!

Jiujiu didn’t like it, really didn’t like it!

Le Zhengpeng raised his head, saw his son, and quickly waved, "Asheng, come over here."

Tut... Le Zhengsheng didn’t want to go, but it would ultimately be impolite.

Le Zhengsheng had no choice but to carry Jiujiu over, nodding politely and smiling, "Dad, Aunt..."

He didn’t know the girl, merely nodded faintly.

Le Zhengpeng chuckled and reached out toward his granddaughter, "Jiujiu, come here to Grandpa."

No... Jiujiu clung tightly to Le Zhengsheng, as if nobody was allowed to touch her dad.

"Ha ha." Le Zhengpeng rubbed his hands, smiling at the girl, "They say daughters are close to their dads, and our Jiujiu just adores her father."

The girl’s face was quiet and delicate, nodding with a smile, "Hello, Jiujiu!"

Jiujiu blinked her big eyes, then suddenly puffed her cheeks and turned her head, "Hmph!"

The little one was upset...

The girl was taken aback, awkwardly embarrassed.

As the introducer, Aunt naturally had to speak up, "Asheng, Jiujiu can’t be so rude."

Le Zhengpeng echoed, "Jiujiu, Aunt is talking to you, you can’t act like this... it’s not right!"

"Hmph!" Jiujiu huffed even more forcefully, her nose almost sky-high.

The girl was even more embarrassed...

Before she came, she knew about Le Zhengsheng’s situation. His wedding with Gu Xiaoning back then was a sensation in Holy City... The president was present as the officiant, and with the wealth of the Lezheng Family, it was hard not to be sensational.

Unfortunately, such an enviable wedding, in the end, Le Zheng’s wife actually cheated!

What was even more unexpected was that Le Zhengsheng, afflicted with a hereditary disease, miraculously recovered!

How many socialite women in Holy City began to stir because of this? Even though he still had his ex-wife’s daughter with him, it couldn’t stop women from admiring Le Zhengsheng.

But, although many wanted to marry Le Zhengsheng, not one caught his eye.

For example, now.

Le Zhengsheng knew his daughter was wrong, but he chuckled and shook his head, "Sorry, I’m taking Jiujiu upstairs."

"..." The girl was stunned, her face stiff.

Aunt widened her eyes, "This... Asheng! How can you do this?"

Le Zhengpeng was also angry, "Hey! You brat, really a brat!"

Le Zhengsheng turned a deaf ear; his Jiujiu was already pitiable enough without her mom, he wouldn’t do anything to make Jiujiu unhappy. Jiujiu didn’t want a mom, perfect, he didn’t want a wife.

At night, after settling Jiujiu to sleep, Le Zhengpeng came to find him.

"Asheng!" Le Zhengpeng was visibly unhappy, "You must give me an explanation today."

Le Zhengsheng laughed, "Dad, what explanation do you want?"

"You..." Le Zhengpeng was exasperated, "You need to marry again, right? Going through life alone like this?"

Le Zhengsheng chuckled and shook his head, "Dad, my mom has been gone for so many years, haven’t you also been alone?"

"How can this be the same?" Le Zhengpeng blustered, "Your mom and I were loving for a lifetime! Jiujiu’s mom ran off with a wild man!"

Le Zhengsheng frowned; even now, hearing such words, his heart couldn’t help but ache.

"Asheng!" Le Zhengpeng earnestly persuaded, "You’re not as you were now, your health is fine, of course you should marry again. Though Jiujiu is a child of the Lezheng Family, she is still a girl! You should leave a heir for the Lezheng Family!"

"Tch."

Le Zhengsheng was indifferent, "What era is this? If you’re worried about this, there’s really no need. In the future, I plan to find a husband for Jiujiu to marry in... then all the inheritance issues will be solved."

"You!"

Le Zhengpeng glared, stunned for a while, "So you really don’t plan to marry again?"

Le Zhengsheng shook his head, "I don’t plan to."

How much passion can one person expend in a lifetime? He had blindly followed Yu Sangwan for six years, found hope with Gu Xiaoning at his despair, yet his passion was already gone.

"Sigh..."

Le Zhengpeng sighed, pondering with reluctance, "Do you not like the girl today? I won’t stop you from liking anyone... being alone, it’s too lonely! Not even that Dr. Cui?"

"Dad," Le Zhengsheng couldn’t listen anymore, "I need to rest, let’s talk later, okay?"

"Sigh." Le Zhengpeng couldn’t get a word in edgewise, the outcome as always, unresolved.

...

In the bathroom, Le Zhengsheng turned on the shower.

His health was truly better now.

Incredible, yet real.

Only, there was no one to share this joy with. If not for Jiujiu, he didn’t know if he could hold on alone. He raised his hand to rub his neck, his fingers touching the necklace. The pendant was special. Upon closer look, it was his wedding ring that was removed and never worn again. Le Zhengsheng strung it on a platinum chain, wearing it around his neck.

Ningning, are you well?

Le Zhengsheng leaned on the bed, once again sleepless.

Closing his eyes, his mind filled with Gu Xiaoning’s image...

Only at this time could he admit. In the past year, he hadn’t stopped thinking about Gu Xiaoning even for a day. People are just this despicable! Clearly Gu Xiaoning didn’t want him anymore, but he? Just couldn’t forget.

Le Zhengsheng picked up the ring, holding it to his lips.

Ningning, our daughter... Jiujiu.

She’s very healthy, I named her Jiujiu, hoping she lives healthily until ninety-nine.

Closing his eyes, he recalled what Gu Xiaoning said to him before, I want to be with you, cure the illness, and have your child!

Boom...

Thunder suddenly roared outside!

"Ah!" Gu Xiaoning woke up from a dream, drenched in sweat.

Chapter 635, Sheng’s Side Story, Returning

Another nightmare...

In the dream, Gu Xiaoning always watched Le Zhengsheng’s back, crying until she couldn’t catch her breath.

Drip, drip...
