“President Li is jesting. The Ji Family didn’t invest, so you are the sole sponsor. But when the proposal to change the competition category was raised, none of the contestants had any objections. Number 18 contestant also decisively chose relief carving, and I thought this would better reflect the theme of heritage in our heritage competition, so I didn’t decline.”

Li Lingyang’s exquisite brows rose. His understanding of Ning Yichu was limited to her playing with surgical knives five years ago; he indeed didn’t know how deep her jade carving skills were now.

“President Li, tomorrow night we will hold the awards ceremony at Global Hotel, followed by an auction of the works of all the outstanding contestants. If you could come, it would certainly liven up the event,” the organizer suggested tentatively, seeing Li Lingyang’s silence.

Li Lingyang’s thin lips curled slightly. “We’ll see.”

That woman had just given him the cold shoulder; why should he go there and join in the fun?

After ending the call, Li Lingyang walked to the balcony nonchalantly. The night was deepening, and the stars scattered moonlight below. In the old house’s yard, Doudou and Chen Bao were happily playing with Beile.

Beile was Doudou’s good friend. She had brought the black and white big dog along when she came to the old house from Imperial Capital Long Bay.

Chasing after the frolicking dog, the two little ones could hardly keep up.

Thud.

While chasing Beile, Doudou stumbled and knelt on the ground.

Li Lingyang’s heart tightened, and he unconsciously straightened his tall frame, instinctively about to rush downstairs. But the next second, he saw Chen Bao, who had been chasing after Beile, suddenly let go of the dog leash and quickly ran to Doudou’s side, helping the little girl up.

Chen Bao was visibly frightened, but his little chubby hands gently dusted off the dirt from Doudou’s knees.

His little mouth opened and closed, as if he were asking Doudou if it hurt.

Doudou’s little head shook like a rattle drum. Not only did she not cry, but her eyes were bright and shining, and she excitedly ran off with Chen Bao to continue walking the dog.

Li Lingyang finally relaxed the tense strings of his heart. Thankfully, the little miss wasn’t hurt.

Although Chen Bao hadn’t been there long, he genuinely treated Doudou like a little sister. Watching them get along so well, Li Lingyang, as an old father, felt somewhat comforted. He only wondered who Chen Bao’s mother could be.

Half an hour later.

The two little ones returned breathlessly from walking the dog in the back garden.

Aunt Tong hurriedly grabbed a clean towel to wipe their sweat.

“Oh dear, my precious masters, walking dogs is something the servants should do. With your tiny arms and legs, how can you keep up with Beile? Look at you, all sweaty. Young Master Chengcheng has already gone to wash up and rest…”

Chen Bao’s big eyes sparkled with excitement. “Granny Tong, it’s really fun walking Beile. I really like it.”

Doudou mimicked Chen Bao, her baby-faced smile brimming with joy.

Aunt Tong was helplessly amused. “It’s not you walking him, clearly, he’s walking you.”

“Next time, have the servants take Beile out for a walk earlier to let him release his energy before handing him over to the kids.” Just then, a low and sexy voice came from the spiral staircase, followed by the sound of shiny leather shoes tapping against the wooden floor.

Aunt Tong and the two children turned to see a robust and upright man descend the stairs, legs long and straight, one hand nonchalantly in his pocket.

Seeing her daddy had finished work, Doudou happily ran over for a hug.

Li Lingyang slightly bent down to scoop the little girl into his arms.

Doudou sat on his elbow, affectionately rubbing her cheek against his. The sweat still on her forehead now rubbed off onto the man’s face.

Li Lingyang, a bit of a neat freak, felt a vein in his forehead throb, then tried hard to convince himself that the sweat of his precious daughter was sweet.

Chen Bao watched Li Lingyang lift Doudou effortlessly, his strong arms and muscles on display. Hmm… with his own little stubby arms and legs, he still had a lot to work on!

Chen Bao had spent more time with Li Lingyang and discovered that he wasn’t as bad as he had imagined.

If…

Would he dote on Ningning the same way if he knew she was also his daughter?

Sniffing back his emotions, he pushed these messy thoughts away.

The little lad’s mind echoed with Li Lingyang’s stern appearance as he descended the stairs. Mimicking him, Chen Bao stuffed his hands into his pockets, tilted back his head, and strutted upstairs with an air of arrogance.

“Chen Bao,” Li Lingyang’s thin lips pursed as he called out to him at that moment, “Tomorrow is Ning Yichu’s legacy competition finals and the award ceremony. Do you want to go?”

Chen Bao paused mid-step. “You’re taking me?”

It was Mommy’s first competition since returning to the country, and he should be there to cheer her on.

“Call me Daddy, and I’ll consider it,” Li Lingyang suggested with a slight smile, a dangerous glimmer flashing in his deep, dark eyes.

Realizing Li Lingyang was trying to take advantage of him, Chen Bao pursed his lips and retorted, “Boring.”

He could find a way to sneak into the event after school tomorrow!

Li Lingyang, as if reading his thoughts, said leisurely, “The security at the event is very tight. No one is allowed in without an invitation. Are you sure you don’t want to come with me?”

Chen Bao made a taunting face at him. “Old man, try to trap me into calling you daddy when you’re actually qualified for the role!”

With that, the little guy scampered back to his second-floor room. It’s just an invitation—how could that possibly stump him?

No sooner had Chen Bao returned to his bedroom than his children’s phone beeped with a message from Ningning, “Superman Brother, I’m going with mommy to the legacy competition award ceremony tomorrow. What should I wear? It has to be super cute—there’s going to be a video recording!”

Chen Bao was exasperated; ever since the little girl started appearing on camera as a child model, she’d been obsessed with her image!

“Wear the pink princess dress you bought a few days ago.”

“Got it! I was thinking about that one too, we really are on the same wavelength, tehee~” Ningning replied with a string of emojis and added, “Brother, are you coming tomorrow?”

Chen Bao decided to surprise her, “Don’t leave after school, I’ll go with you.”

“Yay, I get to ride in Brother’s luxury car again tomorrow.” The Li Family had arranged a car and driver for Chen Bao, which made traveling anywhere quite convenient.

Chen Bao gave a helpless yet doting smile. Since lousy dad favored only Doudou, he’d dote on Ningning a little more.

With a thoughtful gesture, Chen Bao asked, “I haven’t spent all my pocket money this month. Anything you want to buy? Send me the links.”

The next second, Chen Bao received a dozen links—some were items Ningning had in her shopping cart, and others were things Ning Yichu had liked but hadn’t ordered, both cheap and expensive.

Chen Bao clicked and paid for each one.

Downstairs in the hall, Li Lingyang’s phone wouldn’t stop buzzing with notifications. Checking it, he found they were all charge alerts.

He had given Chen Bao a supplementary black card, but the main account alerts came to him to prevent the little fellow from misusing it. These charges were clearly online shopping…

Although each amount wasn’t large, the total had reached twenty to thirty thousand!

He had only ever seen spending alerts on Chen Bao’s behalf but had never actually received any items. Could it be purchases for Ningning?

The little guy bought so much, and none of it was for him!

Li Lingyang felt an unpleasant jealousy bubbling up inside.
