Chapter 158: Chapter 158: Tempting Him All the Ti… Chapter 158: Chapter 158: Tempting Him All the Ti… “”””Later, to make money and give Ningning a better life, she would often sit in the jade carving room for five or six hours at a ti. Do you know how hard it is for a woman who has just given birth? She had many illnesses that stemd from that ti…”
Chen Bao sniffled, his voice suddenly turning cold, “It’s all because you cheated during your marriage!”
Li Lingyang had known about Ning Yichu’s poor health before and could imagine how hard it must have been for a pregnant woman in a foreign land, but hearing it again from a child made a strange sense of pity surge in his heart.
But even then, he couldn’t possibly show it in front of Chen Bao.
“Did Ningning tell you all this?”
“Of course.”
“It seems like you care about her and her son more than your own biological father?”
“Mr. Li!” Chen Bao coldly interrupted, even casting an extrely disdainful look, “I’ve grown up without you, do you think the role of a father is that important in my life?”
“…” Li Lingyang was stumped, this cheeky kid, couldn’t he be less venomous with his words?
Thinking again about his current relationship with Ning Yichu, he felt a headache coming on, “Do you and Ningning, have to be together?”
“What, are you going to say that you want to go back and pursue Aunt Ning, then force to break up with Ningning?” Chen Bao retorted.
Of course, Li Lingyang couldn’t tell his son his true thoughts, this kid was just heaven-sent to oppose him, he scoffed, “If you and Ningning have to be together, I’ll inevitably have to deal with your future mother-in-law. The mont we interact, you’ll say I’m bullying her. There’s no solving this unless you break up with Ningning!”
Chen Bao tilted his head and looked out the window, too lazy to talk to his scumbag dad any longer.
Granny Li was thrilled to see Li Lingyang arrive at the house with the three kids.
No need to ask, it was clear that Li Lingyang and Shen Jiangqing had a falling out.
That’s rather good…
Better to reveal the true nature of that white lotus sooner and just keep the son.
Every servant in the old mansion was also very intrigued.
A miniature version of President Li, simply adorable!
Chen Bao also liked Granny Li a lot, and he slept with her that night.
The little guy even got up in the middle of the night to tuck in Granny Li’s blanket.
The next morning when she woke up, Granny Li found an extra cup of warm milk by her bed…
And Chen Bao had already gone downstairs to run.
Granny Li watched the little guy running in the garden through the window, feeling a myriad of emotions once again. How good it would have been if Chu Chu had given birth to him.
…
Ning Yichu truly couldn’t stop worrying about Chen Bao; the little guy was locked in the dark room by Shen Jiangqing, and who knew what was going on now?
But she no longer had the right to outright ask about it. Finally, it was Ningning who called Li Lingyang.
“Bad uncle, Brother Chen Bao hasn’t visited our house in a long ti. I miss him. Can he co to our house for dinner tonight?” Ningning’s voice was milky and cute, as if soft feathers brushing against the face, making it very easy to agree with her right away.
Li Lingyang’s sharp eyes narrowed, but he said, “Don’t you see him every day at kindergarten?”
“Hmm, but inviting soone over for dinner is different from seeing them at kindergarten.”
Li Lingyang drew out his long speech unhurriedly, “Let think about it…”
“My mommy is even planning to get off work early today to buy groceries. Oh, bad uncle, are you going to agree or not?” Ningning was fuming, cunningly thinking of not informing her scumbag dad but just eloping with Chen Bao.
But this thought lasted only a second before she quickly squashed it.
Li Lingyang raised an eyebrow, “What did you call ?”
“Bad… uncle?”
“Hmm?” The tone rose at the end, the danger level drastically increasing.
Ningning was so annoyed, this scumbag dad wanting to take advantage of her!
But wanting to trick Brother Chen Bao into coming ho, she endured it!
Her heart reluctant and unwilling, she changed her words, “Uncle.”””
Li Lingyang was still teasing her, “Just uncle? Didn’t you call Mo Baiyou ‘Uncle Mo Shuai?'”
“…” Ningning’s eyes almost rolled up to the ceiling, thinking, do I really need such a crappy dad?
Her cheeks puffed up in anger, fists clenched tightly, she muttered, “Fine, you’re a handso uncle too. Can Brother Chen Bao co over for dinner at our place now?”
A triumphant smile appeared on Li Lingyang’s lips as he graciously spoke, “Yes, have your mom cook a little more tonight. I’ll bring him over after work.”
Ningning wanted to suggest they just go ho together after school, but the call had already ended.
Ningning relayed her father’s response to Ning Yichu.
Grinding her teeth in annoyance, Ning Yichu thought, how could Li Lingyang, being such an old man, still trouble a child? Isn’t that childish?
Planning to cook dinner herself, Ning Yichu sped up her work pace. As soon as it was ti to leave, she hurried out of the office.
Just as she exited the office, she ran into Deelia heading to the break room.
“With so much work piled up and a new launch pending, you’re leaving already? Are you really doing justice to Mr. Mo who has supported you so much? Ho wrecker!”
Ning Yichu shot her a cold look, “Ho wrecker? Who are you calling?”
“Calling you!” Deelia, not too familiar with Chinese, snapped back without grasping the pun.
Ning Yichu smiled and nodded, “Right, the ho wrecker is .”
With that, she walked away.
Deelia was left dumbfounded, taking a while to realize what Ning Yichu’s words actually ant. Once she did, she stomped her foot furiously!
Just then, her phone buzzed with an anonymous text, “Want to drag Ning Yichu down? I’ve got a brilliant idea to help you.”
Unaware of the sche brewing against her, Ning Yichu went straight to the grocery store after work.
Before she even entered, her phone vibrated with a WeChat ssage from Li Lingyang.
“Got the kids. Are you off work yet? I’m coming to find you.”
Thinking about Ningning and Chen Bao possibly being in his car, Ning Yichu honestly sent him a location pin, “At the grocery store.”
“I’ll be there in ten minutes. Wait for at the entrance,” he replied with his usual commanding tone.
Ning Yichu’s lips curled slightly in boredom as she exited WeChat and scrolled through her phone for a while.
The preliminary round video of the competition had been produced and was now playing on the official website.
Perhaps due to the heavy investnt by Li Group this year, the video quality was very high, attracting quite an audience.
The comnt section was bustling with ssages.
“Woah, Miss No. 18 has such beautiful hands, so slender and steady. Jade carving students are weeping with envy.”
“Yeah, it’s a pity her video was so short, just a few shots…”
“I bet a bag of spicy sticks this final will be spectacular.”
Reading comnts was way more fun than watching the video. Ning Yichu realized she had cultivated a small following who were betting on her to win, her lips lifting slightly in a smile.
Beep beep beep.
All of a sudden, a car horn sounded.
Instinctively, Ning Yichu put away her phone and looked towards the source of the sound.
Li Lingyang casually found a parking spot, imdiately noticing the woman checking her phone at the entrance.
She was dressed in simple office attire, a white blouse paired with a high-waisted pencil skirt that accentuated her slender waist. As she turned, it was like a fragrant breeze lifted, her hair gently fluttering, revealing creamy, luminous legs under her skirt’s hem, its allure highlighted by stiletto heels in the sunlight, almost glistening.
