Chapter 9: Wonderful Fate, Adorable Twins

On the other side,

Ning Yichu knew that although she had escaped, the danger was far from over; if Li Lingyang ever suspected that Chen Bao was her child, he might have someone follow and investigate her.

Therefore, she had to send Chen Bao away!

And the best choice was Baili Orphanage.

Mommy Zhuo had adopted many orphans and was the most suitable place to hide Chen Bao's identity, especially since Chen Bao had provoked Li Lingyang for the sake of raising money for the orphanage.

Thus, Fan Yuke directly drove to Baili Orphanage.

"Lady Ning, have you arrived? I have prepared all the documents you requested," warmly welcomed Mommy Zhuo, handing a file to Ning Yichu.

Ning Yichu opened it and glanced inside; it was all about Chen Bao, including birth certificates, orphan certifications, and so on...

Most importantly, Chen Bao's birth date had been changed to six months later, now four and a half years old.

In this way, even if one day Li Lingyang found Chen Bao, he would have no evidence that Chen Bao was her birth child, nor would he connect Ningning and Chen Bao.

"Baby, do you remember what mommy told you?" Ning Yichu lowered her head and cradled her son's cute little face.

Chen Bao nodded slightly, "I remember, the next time I encounter that crappy dad, even if he catches me, I must say I am an orphan and don't know who mommy is, but I saw on TV that we look alike, so I tried to blackmail him."

Ning Yichu nodded, "Also, your birthday isn't in February, it's in August..."

Chen Bao, seeing Ning Yichu so worried, a trace of annoyance appeared on his childish face, "Mommy, did I cause you a lot of trouble?"

"Children are always imaginative. Your intentions were good; mommy won't blame you."

Chen Bao hummed softly in a muffled tone.

"Alright, you stay here with Grandma Zhuo, and I'll take Ningning to the nearby market to buy some groceries for a delicious dinner tonight," Ning Yichu said tenderly.

Ningning loved going to the supermarket with Ning Yichu the most. After thinking, she turned her head and asked Doudou, sitting quietly and obediently on a small stool, "Little Miss, do you want to go to the supermarket with us?"

Doudou's big eyes curved as if to say, "Can I?"

"Mommy, let's take Little Miss with us—she doesn't talk much and is bored; she also doesn't know the other kids in the orphanage and would be bored," Ningning eagerly looked at Ning Yichu.

Considering she had to send her away anyway, Ning Yichu happily agreed, "Alright, let's all go together."

"Yay, let's get going!"

Doudou had never been to the market before and found everything quite novel; like Ningning, she enthusiastically placed whatever she liked into the shopping cart, unknowingly filling it up.

The trio, striking in appearance, especially Ningning and Doudou, were soft and cute to the extreme.

Wherever they went, they captured the hearts of a group of supermarket ladies.

"Ma'am, you are truly blessed—a pair of twin daughters, both so beautiful..."

"Indeed, even cuter than those child stars on TV..."

"The genes are really good; your husband must be very handsome, right?"

Seeing the two soft, cute little buns holding hands, both with small pigtails and cute bow ties, their big round eyes and long eyelashes like Barbie dolls, they actually looked somewhat alike; could this be what they call fate?

"Doudou, Ningning, let's go, we're going to check out."

Hearing Ning Yichu call her, Doudou immediately straightened her little chest and hand in hand with Ningning, trotted after Ning Yichu like little followers.

Ning Yichu pushed the shopping cart to the side, "You walk in front of me, don't leave my sight."

Ningning, like an older sister, dashed ahead with Doudou, "You can't stand behind Mommy, what if someone kidnaps you and Mommy doesn't notice in time?"

Doudou seemed to think of something, the light in her big eyes dimmed, and then she tried hard to squeeze out a smile and queued up with Ning Yichu to pay.

After paying, Ning Yichu took the two children back to the orphanage.

The children played together while Ning Yichu and Mommy Zhuo cooked in the kitchen.

Ning Yichu had a special connection with this orphanage. She had visited five years ago, and even after going abroad, she had always supported it; therefore, her relationship with Mommy Zhuo was very close.

Doudou was physically weak, and after running around so much today, she soon became tired, but she wanted to play with the older kids from the orphanage. They were all very friendly, so she propped up her drooping eyelids with her chubby little hands, trying hard to keep her eyes open.

Chen Bao saw her like this and frowned, "Doudou, what's wrong?"

Doudou helplessly wrote, "My eyelids keep falling."

"Silly, you just want to sleep," Ningning laughed.

Doudou's face turned slightly red, a bit embarrassed.

Chen Bao glanced at the kitchen and estimated that it would be a while before dinner. He then put on his big brother authority, "Stop forcing yourself, go to Little Yudian's room and sleep for a while."

Doudou was extremely embarrassed.

Chen Bao took her to a little girl's bedroom and thoughtfully tucked her in.

"Sleep now, when it's time to eat, I and your sister will call you."

Doudou took a deep breath, the scent in the blanket was comforting, she sweetly smiled, snuggled the pillow, and fell into a peaceful sleep. She just wondered, would Daddy be angry that she sneaked out on her own?

In fact, far from being angry, Li Lingyang was like a tempest.

At Yudu Longwan, Li Lingyang sat on a leather sofa like an ice sculpture, surrounded by undisguised concern and fury.

"Is this the explanation you give me? If something happened to Doudou, a dozen of you couldn't compensate!"

The old servant's legs gave out, and he collapsed to the ground, "President Li, please spare my life, I... I really did tell Little Miss not to leave my sight..."

Li Lingyang listened to her excuse, his anger intensified, "How old are you, and how old is she? I told you to take good care of her, is this how you do it?"

Though Doudou was four, she was introverted, didn't speak, and was also underweight.

He had hired a specialized nutritionist to take care of her diet, and even tailored nutritional milk powder for her body, which the little one drank every day, yet she was still as thin as a little kitten.

If she encountered danger, the consequences were unimaginable!

"How could Doudou get lost? I knew it, I should have gone to the old house to pick her up myself, woohoo..." Shen Jiangqing covered her face in grief.

"Daddy, Mommy, don't panic. I believe sister is just momentarily playful and didn't go far; the bodyguards will soon bring her back," Chengcheng said earnestly and adorably by their side.

Li Lingyang, hearing his son's words of comfort, didn't feel reassured but became even more irritable. Doudou was never playful, nor would she go with strangers, unless it was an accident!

"I, as her brother, didn't take good care of her, I am also at fault, Daddy, punish me," Chengcheng said again, guiltily, but thought to himself, if that mute kid was lost, so be it, having a mute sister was embarrassing!

Li Lingyang's brow furrowed, he said faintly, "It's not your fault, go upstairs and rest."

Chengcheng didn't want to keep up the pretense with Daddy, so he went upstairs led by Shen Jiangqing.

Just as the mother and son had left, Special Assistant Xu brought good news.

"President Li, there's news. A passerby took a photo of a woman holding Little Miss at the supermarket, look—"
