The Cunning CEO's Contract Wife

Chapter 383 It's the Little Miss!

Just as Old Man Li was about to put away his tools, he suddenly remembered what Nian Nian had just said and looked over in surprise.

"Your name is Niannian?"

Nian Nian paused for a moment, then frowned and started fiddling with her little hands.

"I don't know either, I just shouted it out subconsciously."

After a pause, Nian Nian looked up again with a sweet smile and reached out to tug at Old Man Li's sleeve.

"Grandpa, I want to go to the amusement park. Can you take me?"

"No, I don't have time."

Old Man Li refused without even thinking.

But the little hands that were tugging at his sleeve were too eye-catching, and he couldn't ignore them even if he wanted to. In the end, under Nian Nian's pitiful gaze, he had no choice but to nod in agreement.

"Okay, but you'll have to walk by yourself. I don't have the strength to carry you."

"Mmm. I'll be a good girl."

Nian Nian nodded eagerly, quickly tidied herself up, and stood obediently at the door waiting for Old Man Li.

"Let's go, I really owe you."

Old Li was wearing a dark gray cloth robe, which looked quite worn, but it was the most presentable piece of clothing he owned.

The two walked for a long time before finally emerging from the mountain path and boarding a bus at the roadside.

This was the first time Niannian had ever ridden a bus since she was a child, and she looked around curiously the whole time.

The car drove for a long time before finally arriving at its destination.

Looking at the crowded people around him, Old Man Li held onto Niannian with a worried expression, afraid that she would disappear in the blink of an eye.

"Grandpa, I feel like this place is so familiar."

Outside the amusement park, Nian Nian stopped in her tracks, her eyes fixed on the door, certain images repeatedly flashing through her mind.

Old Li didn't interrupt her, but held that soft little hand tightly without letting go, a deep-seated worry hidden in his eyes.

After a long while, Nian Nian's breathing gradually became rapid, and her small hands tightly gripped Old Man Li.

"Grandpa, my name is Lin Niannian, my mommy's name is Lin Ran, and I also have an older brother. I remember everything."

Hearing her say that, Old Man Li was not surprised, but he couldn't help feeling a little sad at the thought that the two of them would soon be separated.

"It's good that you remembered. Now you can go home and save this old man from having to go through all that trouble."

Old Man Li pretended to be disgusted and said that, under Nian Nian's guidance, they arrived at the Xiao Group again.

The tall building in front of him made it clear at a glance that this place was extraordinary. Old Man Li suppressed his displeasure and led Niannian into the hall.

"Hello, Auntie, I'm here to see my mommy. Could you please call her down for me?"

The receptionist, who was slacking off, was startled by the noise and looked over in a panic, but her attitude changed instantly when she caught a glimpse of the clothes the two were wearing.

"Little kid, our company doesn't have a mother like yours. Do you know where you are? This is the Xiao Group, the top conglomerate in Kyoto. Even if you wanted to stage an accident, you should at least find a place where you can be bullied, right?"

After saying this, she glanced at Old Man Li standing behind Niannian, her eyes full of disdain.

"Hey, you two get out of here. Don't stand here blocking our business. It's bad luck."

Old Li disliked places frequented by wealthy people, and upon hearing this, he didn't hesitate to grab Niannian and head towards the door.

“Let’s go, Niannian. Even if you don’t go back, Grandpa can take care of you for the rest of your life.”

As the two left, they brushed past Zhou Qing, who was walking in.

The next second, Zhou Qing stopped in his tracks and chased after him in a panic.

Did he just see the young lady?

"Miss Nian...?"

Zhou Qing, being young, quickly stepped in front of Old Man Li. Looking at the little girl in his arms, he couldn't control himself and his voice even trembled with emotion.

"Uncle Assistant!"

Nian Nian clearly recognized Zhou Qing; her dark eyes lit up instantly, and her voice was full of excitement.

With trembling hands, Zhou Qing took out her phone and eagerly dialed Xiao Jingchen's number.

Old Man Li stared at Zhou Qing with a wary expression.

He hadn't forgotten the arrogant way the receptionist had spoken just now. He wondered who the parents of all the children were; their attitude might be even worse...

At this moment, Zhou Qing also noticed the lowered head in Old Man Li's eyes, and smiled at him somewhat blankly.

"Sir, would you like to rest in the company lobby for a while?"

Old Li snorted coldly, his tone full of sarcasm, and stood still, holding Niannian.

"I wouldn't dare go in. The receptionist just said that we were there to stage an accident, and told us to get lost."

Zhou Qing's heart skipped a beat when she heard this. She paused for a moment, then a fawning smile appeared on her face.

"It was our company's mistake. Don't worry, she has been fired now."

As they were talking, Lin Ran and Xiao Jingchen hurriedly came downstairs.

The closer Lin Ran got to the door, the more nervous she became.

Over the past few days, her hopes have been dashed countless times.

this time……

Lin Ran forced herself to walk over, but the moment she caught sight of Niannian, she could no longer control her emotions, and tears streamed down her face.

"Every year..."

"Mommy!"

Niannian, who had been obediently nestled in Old Man Li's arms, struggled to get up after seeing Lin Ran. After being put on the ground, she rushed over without looking back, and the mother and daughter hugged each other, crying and laughing at the same time.

Seeing this scene, even Old Man Li had to admit that his earlier thoughts might have been wrong.

Such intense emotions cannot be faked.

Xiao Jingchen suppressed his excitement and looked at the old man Li standing to the side. Although the old man was wearing the simplest coarse cloth clothes, he showed no disrespect.

"Sir, thank you for bringing my daughter back. Please feel free to tell me what you need."

"Yes, we searched for a long time but couldn't find Niannian. If it weren't for you, I probably wouldn't have been able to see her."

Lin Ran wiped away her tears, looked at Old Man Li, and spoke with sincerity.

"Hmph, forget about the reward, but you'd better be careful in the future. There are villains around you, don't wait until you're poisoned to realize it."

The last sentence was spoken by Old Man Li to Xiao Jingchen.

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone present paused.

Xiao Jingchen subconsciously looked at Zhou Qing.

In the company, everything he owned was obtained through Zhou Qing.

"Mr. Xiao, I..."

"No need to explain, I believe you."

Xiao Jingchen glanced at it only once before looking away.

Don't use the suspect, but don't use it.

Zhou Qing was the person who had been by his side the longest, so he certainly wouldn't hesitate to give him some trust.

"Grandpa, Grandpa, then you can come home with Niannian."

“You’ll worry every year if you go back to that dilapidated house alone.”

While everyone remained silent, Niannian began to cling to Old Man Li's leg and act coquettishly.
