Mianmian sighed inwardly. Poor beautiful mommy.
Her things had been taken and given to the other woman.
And she was still kept in the dark.
The more she thought about it, the more despicable that scumbag dad seemed.
She stuck out her round little bottom, stood on her tiptoes, and placed a roll of Da Tuanjie banknotes into Shen Jingyan's hand.
"Mommy, don't be sad. If Daddy won't give you things, then from now on, Mianmian will. Mianmian loves Mommy the most."
Shen Jingyan listened to Mianmian's milky, soft voice.
An indescribable ache welled up inside her.
Even a child knew to give good things to the people they loved.
In all these years, had Song Changming ever given her anything particularly expensive?
When they first met, he'd given her two hair ribbons?
What else?
Six eggs with chicken droppings from his family?
A smelly salted fish…
Enough.
Shen Jingyan only felt her chest grow tighter.
She could barely breathe.
It seemed that from beginning to end, Song Changming had brought nothing to the Shen family except himself.
Oh, no, that wasn't right—there were quite a few love letters.
But could love letters fill your stomach?
Empty talk would never be as real as actual actions.
Shen Jingyan's heart ached with a sharp, tugging pain.
Could loving someone really be faked?
Shen Jingyan's eyes reddened with hurt. Looking at her daughter's innocent little face, the bitterness in her heart had nowhere to go.
Mianmian sensed the shift in Shen Jingyan's emotions and stood up on her own, pressing her cheek against hers.
Beautiful mommy really did love scumbag dad. Too bad scumbag dad was a man without good fortune.
"Mommy, Mianmian will buy you lots of yummy things in the future. I won't give Daddy any."
Shen Jingyan saw her pouting her little mouth, her small hands on her round little waist as she gestured, and burst out laughing.
She poked her daughter's comically protruding little belly. "Is it for Mommy to eat, or for Mianmian to eat?"
Mianmian giggled, unrepentant and utterly shameless.
"Mommy eats lots and lots, Mianmian eats just a little."
"Hahaha."
Shen Jingyan's mood improved a great deal. "Alright, it's all for Mianmian to eat."
With her daughter's help, Shen Jingyan felt much better.
Holding the Da Tuanjie banknotes and gold bars in her hand, she fell into deep thought.
She was determined to get this money and these gold bars back.
Why should her things go to someone else?
But how could she get them back?
Shen Jingyan mulled it over.
She noticed the little one had her head covered, bottom up, wiggling and squirming.
"Mianmian, what are you doing?"
The little one had bumped her nose and gotten a smudge of dust on it.
"Mommy, Mianmian is finding a place to hide all of this so Daddy can't find it."
Shen Jingyan chuckled. "Silly Mianmian, but Mommy does have a place to hide things."
Mianmian tilted her head blankly, staring at Shen Jingyan.
"What place, Mommy?"
She knew the jade pendant was a Spatial Dimension. If only Mommy could get it.
Just as she thought this, the money and gold bars in Shen Jingyan's palm vanished before her eyes.
"0" Mianmian's little mouth formed a perfect circle of surprise.
"Mommy, they disappeared! They all disappeared!"
Oh my god, when did Mommy form a Contract with the Spatial Dimension? Mianmian was so excited that her chubby little face trembled.
"Wow, that's great, that's great."
Mianmian danced with joy, spinning in circles.
Shen Jingyan suddenly thought—she could enter the Spatial Dimension, but could Mianmian?
She swallowed nervously.
"Mianmian, give Mommy your hand."
Shen Jingyan bit her lower lip and took Mianmian's hand.
She silently recited in her heart, "Enter the Spatial Dimension."
Whoosh.
The two of them instantly entered the Spatial Dimension.
Mianmian looked at the suddenly changed scenery before her.
She was immediately stunned.
Her dark eyes didn't even move.
"Mianmian?"
Shen Jingyan thought she had been frightened and reached out to pat her shoulder.
The little girl turned her head and hugged her leg.
Her eyes sparkling.
"Mommy, are you a fairy?"
Shen Jingyan looked at her dark, bright eyes, and her heart melted into a puddle of water.
"Mianmian is a little fairy, Mommy is a big fairy."
"Wow~~ Mianmian really loves it here."
The little one ran around the Spatial Dimension like a little butterfly.
Shen Jingyan's expression was soft. The entire Spatial Dimension was like a paradise.
Able to shut out all worries.
"Mommy, there are little fish here, little fish."
Mianmian squatted by the small river ahead, her chubby white fingers tracing through the water.
A little red fish swam over and kissed her fingertip.
"Heehee, so ticklish, so ticklish."
The little fish jumped up with a splash, and the little one reached out to scoop water and pour it on them.
Before long, the little one was soaked from playing, her thin summer clothes sticking directly to her body, revealing sections of her arms and her round little belly.
Shen Jingyan didn't stop her either. She picked her up and headed outside.
Once in the room, Mianmian was stripped completely naked, her whole body chubby, with little rolls even on her belly.
Shen Jingyan turned around to find clothes for the little one.
When she turned back, she saw the little one, bare-bottomed, sticking her round little butt up and burrowing under the bed, wiggling.
This…
Shen Jingyan was immediately amused.
"Mianmian."
She reached out to pull her out, but the little one was huffing and puffing.
She popped her head out.
Dragging out a small box.
"Mommy, what's this?"
Shen Jingyan was stunned.
She looked down at the box in her hands. She didn't recognize it.
Made of wood.
Not worth anything either.
Could Song Changming have put it there?
The box wasn't locked either.
Shen Jingyan frowned and opened the clasp of the wooden box.
With a "swoosh," she slammed it shut.
Mianmian stared at Shen Jingyan blankly. "Mommy, what is it? What is it?"
"Mianmian wants to see."
"Mianmian wants to see."
The little one reached out her chubby little hands to lift the lid.
Shen Jingyan's face went bright red.
"Little babies can't look at this."
Mianmian became even more unconvinced. What was there that the noble Zombie Mianmian couldn't look at?
She pouted her little mouth. Hmph!
She wanted to see, she wanted to see.
Shen Jingyan scooped up the plump baby like a big carp.
And casually stored the wooden box directly into the Spatial Dimension.
Her eyes were about to go red with anger.
Song Changming, that shameless bastard.
The things in the wooden box—she had never seen them before, much less used them.
So who had he used them with, that cheap whore?
The first person that surfaced in Shen Jingyan's mind was Liu Xiaoshuang.
She gritted her teeth hard.
Recalling the contents of the box—handcuffs, a whip, a woman's underwear, and those phallic toys.
Shen Jingyan was not a little girl who understood nothing.
At this moment, thinking of Song Changming having touched her, goosebumps rose all over her body.
How could such filthy things be shown to Mianmian?
Moreover, this box had appeared under her own bed.
Shen Jingyan felt her vision going dark.
She desperately controlled her emotions.
"Mianmian, I'm taking you to find Daddy."
She was going to ask him to his face—whose things were these?!
