Grabbing Lin Nuannuan's cheeks, Ning Shiyu sneered coldly, "Lin Nuannuan, have my child? You think you have what it takes?"
"Who knows, maybe I actually do."
"If I fucking let you have my kid, I'll change my last name to yours."
"Great, I'll be waiting to see you change your name then."
Lin Nuannuan watched someone storm off furiously and finally let out a sigh of relief. She just didn't believe she couldn't get Ning Shiyu, didn't believe he'd refuse to divorce.
After spending the whole day at Ning Group, by the time Lin Nuannuan got back to Gao Xiaomei's apartment, she was completely drained.
She'd only just walked in when Lin Shenshen dragged her into the bedroom.
Moments later, she stormed back out, sounding pissed: "Gao Xiaomei, what nonsense did you tell Shenshen?"
Gao Xiaomei was confused. How did Lin Nuannuan even know she'd had a long heart-to-heart chat with Lin Shenshen today? She didn't hear anyone talking in the house, did she?
Blinking her big eyes in bafflement, Gao Xiaomei asked, "Nuannuan, how do you know I talked to Shenshen today? I didn't hear him say anything to you?"
Grabbing hold of Gao Xiaomei's hand, Lin Nuannuan dragged her into the bedroom.
The half a potato chip Gao Xiaomei had in her mouth dropped to the floor with a 'snap.'
Her eyes wide, Gao Xiaomei saw two rows of black and white flashcards lined up on Lin Nuannuan's bed, spelling out two sentences.
[Xiaomei said, you went to find Dad.]
[Baby wants a daddy too.]
Shit, Lin Nuannuan's kid must be a goddamn genius, actually knows how to read already. No wonder, being the son of Lin the Top Lawyer.
"Gao Xiaomei, can you please shut your mouth for once? Stop telling Shenshen random stuff." Lin Nuannuan was on the verge of tears.
Ever since Shenshen became aware and knew what a dad was, she'd been making up stories for him, saying his dad went to outer space to look for aliens and would come back once he found them.
But it only took Gao Xiaomei two hours to wreck all her stories.
"Nuannuan, don't be mad. I just think you and Ning Shiyu will eventually get back together, so I'm just preparing Shenshen for it ahead of time."
"Besides, Shenshen really wants a dad. I asked him today if he wanted one, and he nodded like crazy, and even started crying."
"Nuannuan, maybe you should find Shenshen a dad."
Gao Xiaomei was making such a passionate speech that even her own eyes started to turn red.
Lin Nuannuan sighed in defeat, "Let Su Mubai be his dad, at least they share the same blood. If he calls him 'dad,' Mubai deserves the title."
"Mmm, mmm."
Staring daggers at Gao Xiaomei, Lin Nuannuan warned fiercely, "As for everything else, you're not to tell Su Mubai a single word."
"I won't say a word about Shenshen's real dad, I swear." Gao Xiaomei raised her hand to vow.
At that moment, Lin Shenshen tugged at Lin Nuannuan, tilted his little head up, and looked at her pitifully: "Mommy."
Lin Nuannuan stroked Lin Shenshen's head, "We'll look, Mommy will definitely find you a daddy—only the best daddy in the whole world."
Lin Shenshen nodded hard, beaming—he was finally going to have a daddy, the best daddy in the world. *

After a few more days at Ning Group, Lin Nuannuan got a call from Lu Jinyun.
"Mom, I'm not trying to fight with Shi Yu for anything. As long as he finishes the divorce procedures before the new year, I'll give back the shares."
"Talk to him for me, will you?"
Hanging up, Lin Nuannuan pressed her hand to her forehead, frowning and exhausted.
It's been three years—how has Ye Ke still not managed to get Ning Shiyu?
Looks like she not only overestimated Ning Shiyu's love, but also overestimated Ye Ke's abilities.
If that woman had any backbone, Lin Nuannuan wouldn't be dealing with divorce headaches now.
Shutting off her computer after work, Lin Nuannuan had just stepped outside when Ning Shiyu came out from the opposite side, with a woman trailing behind him.
