Chapter 1602: You Are My Little Love Song (169)

When Shi Niange heard Lele’s name, the calm and cold glint in her eyes moved slightly. She turned back. “It’s been many days since I went back to accompany Lele?”

“That’s right. You’ve been so busy every day that you can’t even remember how much time has passed. Often, even the sky and the night have been turned upside down. But fortunately, this project is going smoothly. You didn’t work for nothing. Finally, you can rest for a day. After returning to the company to put down the things, go back early. Rest at home tomorrow and accompany the child well,” Wen Ke said as he took an umbrella from the car and handed it to her.

“All right.” Shi Niange took the umbrella, opened the door, and got out of the car.

There were still some documents in her bag that were important and she could not bring them home. Otherwise, if the little rascal at home accidentally spilled water or tore them up, the project that the company had been working on for more than half a year would be ruined. After putting the things back into the drawer of the office, she sat for a while, looked at the time, and listened to the rain outside. The rain did not show any intention of decreasing, so she did not continue waiting. She went downstairs and took the elevator to the company’s basement floor. She went to the underground parking lot to find her car and drove back.

Shi Niange’s current place was a high-rise condominium in downtown Los Angeles that was relatively close to the company. It was not large and was only about a hundred square meters, but it was enough for her and Lele to live here. Auntie Xiang would also stay here when she came to help her take care of her children. It was not very crowded. In comparison, such a warm environment was quite good.

It was already ten in the evening. The moment she entered the house, a small figure suddenly pounced on her. “Mommy!”

After being pounced on, Shi Niange drove back in the heavy rain. When she got out of the car, she felt that the rain in the parking lot downstairs was very cold. However, her heart instantly warmed and softened. She picked up the little thing in her arms. “It’s already ten o’clock. Why aren’t you sleeping?”

“Grandma Xiang said Mommy would be back tonight. I want to wait for Mommy to sleep with me!” The little girl in her arms had big eyes like grapes. She raised her head and kissed Shi Niange’s chin and cheeks several times. “Mommy, Lele hasn’t seen Mommy for many days. I miss Mommy!”

“Mommy misses you too. Sorry, baby. Mommy has been too busy recently.” Shi Niange carried Little Lele as she walked in. She raised her eyes to see Auntie Xiang walking out.

Auntie Xiang smiled and said, “I made soup for you. You definitely didn’t have a good meal when you were discussing a project tonight. All you cared about was chatting with someone. Drink some soup to warm your stomach. Then, you can shower with Lele later. When she heard that you were coming back today, she did not allow me to shower her. She said that she wanted to wait for you and play in the bathtub with you.”

“All right.” Shi Niange smiled at Auntie Xiang and nodded. Then, she carried Lele and walked to the sofa. “Lele, your mommy said that even if you know I’m coming back in the future, don’t wait until so late to sleep. Little children need to grow up when eating and sleeping. If you don’t sleep like this, you won’t grow up. You’ll become a shortie. In the future, you can’t grow up to be tall and wear beautiful dresses, understand?”

Lele hugged Shi Niange’s neck and shrunk in her arms. She pouted and whispered, “I just want Mommy…”Shi Niange touched her little head. “Mommy will accompany you to shower first?”

Xiao Lele nodded and raised her big eyes to look at her. “Mommy, Uncle Xiao came yesterday and gave me a big Barbie doll. It’s so beautiful. Do you want to see it ~”

When Shi Niange heard this, she looked up. Auntie Xiang poked her head out of the kitchen and said, “CEO Xiao did come here yesterday, but he didn’t come up. He hasn’t been to the US for a long time, right? Yesterday, I heard from his secretary that he came to Los Angeles to sign a contract and left in two days. It’s only for two days. He specially came to visit Lele. Don’t blame me for being nosy. Lele is almost four years old. For so many years, you’re the only one by his side. Even now, we don’t know who the child’s father is. CEO Xiao has been so concerned about you and the child all these years. Why can’t you consider him…”

Shi Niange acted as though she did not hear anything and carried Lele back to the bedroom to shower.

Auntie Xiang sighed. “You’re blaming me for being nosy again, aren’t you? I’ve also watched you take care of the child alone for the past few years. Back then, from the time you were pregnant to the time you gave birth, you kept it from Chairman Shi. He only found out after the child was born. Seeing that the child was too cute and was his biological granddaughter, he didn’t pursue the matter any further. In fact, he had mentioned something about you and that person from the Qin family… We could guess it, but you were unwilling to say more…”

“Auntie Xiang.” Shi Niange held Lele in her arms and stopped in front of the bedroom door. She turned back and said, “Xiao Luye is indeed very good, but there’s no possibility between us. I won’t want anyone to be the child’s father just because someone is good to the child. It’s not that Lele doesn’t have a father, so there’s no need for anyone to be her father. From the time I was pregnant until now, for the past four years, I’ve been willing to bear everything on my own. Until today, I haven’t regretted anything, so there’s really no need to investigate further. It’s quite good for me to live with Lele like this, isn’t it? My parents are gone, and at least Lele is still by my side. I’m not living alone in this world. I also have a family.”

Auntie Xiang’s lips moved, but she suddenly stopped speaking. Her eyes reddened as she turned to return to the kitchen.

Indeed, right now, only Lele was Shi Niange’s blood relative.

Not long later, Auntie Xiang went to call them after cooking the soup. She pushed open the door and saw that Shi Niange had already showered. She sat by the bathtub to chat with Lele. Lele sat in the bathtub, and various cute little toys floated on the water. The little girl who was less than four years old was white, and her face and eyes were round. She was also very cute.

“Lele really resembles you when you were young. I watched you grow up like this.” Auntie Xiang smiled and said, “This child will also be a beauty when he grows up.”

Shi Niange held her chin with one hand and looked at the little thing playing happily in the bathtub. She smiled and suddenly turned to look at Auntie Xiang. “The Shi family doesn’t have anything left in Hai City, right? Has the Shi family’s villa been sold?”

Auntie Xiang nodded. “That’s right. Everything you asked me to sell back then was sold.” Speaking up to this point, she suddenly remembered. “By the way, there’s also that set… the one you used to live in, Li Shui Villa. That set wasn’t moved because it wasn’t under your parents’ name. It was under your own name, so when you went to sell the Shi family’s fixed assets, you forgot.”Shi Niange’s hand was in the water. Her fingers stopped above the water.

Was the Li Shui Villa still there?
