Chapter 336: Chapter 336: Still Calling Uncle?
As if sensing the panic on her face, Li Lingyang said in a deep voice, “I’m not saying this to take the children away from you, but to ask you for a chance—to let take care of you and the kids.”
However, Ning Yichu responded with a faint mockery, “Li Lingyang, don’t you find your words laughable? After hurting soone so deeply, do you think just saying a few nice things will make them turn back?”
“At least for the children’s sake…”
“No need. The children have been happy all these years without a father. In fact, it’s only after we went to the Imperial City that they lost their true happiness.” Ning Yichu calmly interrupted him, “To be fair, from my perspective, after being repeatedly frad by Shen Jiangqing and Su Huimiao, with the kids facing life-threatening danger multiple tis, do you think a lighthearted apology can sweep everything under the rug?”
Li Lingyang was speechless, completely at a loss for words.
Ning Yichu answered for him, “Li Lingyang, you can’t. So let go. I don’t want to keep entangling with you anymore.”
Her sharp words were like a dagger plunging into Li Lingyang’s heart.
Li Lingyang’s voice dropped, carrying a tinge of vulnerability, “But Ning Yichu, what do you want to do then?”
Ning Yichu froze, hearing his low murmur again, “Every ti I close my eyes, I see you and the kids. I’ve never missed soone this much. I’m certain I can’t leave you. How do you expect to let go?”
“And Granny…”
“Granny has been waiting for in the Imperial City, waiting for to bring you and the two little ones back.”
Ning Yichu could say anything harsh to Li Lingyang, but when it ca to Granny Li, guilt weighed heavily on her chest. Back then, their marriage had been orchestrated by Granny…
A strong sense of bittersweet emotion suddenly washed over her, causing Ning Yichu to avert her gaze.
Seeing her reaction, Li Lingyang pushed further. “Chu Chu, I’ve failed to fulfill my duties as a father all these years, but that’s because I didn’t know about their existence. After the exhibition ends today, I hope our family can sit down for a proper al and talk. You shouldn’t deprive Ningning and Chen Bao of the chance to enjoy a normal fatherly bond.”
For a brief mont, Ning Yichu’s heart softened, almost compelling her to agree to his request.
But it lasted only for a second, and she quickly snapped out of it…
This man—his greatest talent lies in pushing his limits!!
“Li Lingyang, you’re overthinking. We’ve never been a family. Compared to you, the children prefer Mr. Mo now.”
With that, Ning Yichu shook off his hand and left decisively.
Li Lingyang watched her departing figure, his heart twisting painfully with rage!
Mo Baiyou…
It’s Mo Baiyou again!!
…
Ning Yichu had envisioned countless scenarios of eting Li Lingyang again, but she never expected it to be at the exhibition, nor for him to once again step in to help her.
But none of that was the core issue—the real problem was that the children’s identities had been exposed!
Given this despicable man’s character, he would never let this go…
In the end, he would undoubtedly use the kids to threaten her!
At that mont, Mo Baiyou and William, having heard about the incident in the exhibition hall, rushed over together. Upon seeing her unsettled state, both of their expressions instantly changed.
“Chu Chu, I heard that soone here falsely accused you of stealing raw gemstones?”
Ning Yichu’s thoughts were interrupted by Mo Baiyou’s voice. She shook her head and said, “It’s already been resolved.”
“Apologies, Lady Ning, this lapse in oversight at our International Jade Carving Exhibition is on us. We’ll ensure Andy is severely punished and offer you a satisfactory explanation…” William quickly added.
He truly hadn’t expected soone under his managent to behave so brazenly.
“I’ve already had Andy sent to the police station. I hope Mr. William won’t mind stepping over the line.” Ning Yichu pulled the corners of her lips slightly—in truth, she really didn’t have the energy to care about Andy.
Li Lingyang alone was already enough trouble for her.
“Not at all, Lady Ning. Even if you hadn’t done so, we would still have sent her to the police station.”
Mo Baiyou noticed Ning Yichu’s distracted state, so after exchanging a few polite words with William, they parted ways. Mo Baiyou then locked his deep gaze onto Ning Yichu.
“Chu Chu, you seem a bit anxious. Is it because of Li Lingyang’s appearance?”
“I didn’t expect him to show up suddenly either, especially since he explicitly said he knows the children’s parentage now. I’m afraid he’ll fight for custody of them.”
Mo Baiyou’s dark eyes glimred with a hint of chill. “Don’t worry. This isn’t the Imperial City. Li Lingyang can’t manipulate things here. As long as you and the kids don’t want to go with him, he can’t take them.”
“I understand, but I’m still afraid he’ll resort to underhanded tactics.”
“I’ll dispatch so additional security personnel to accompany you and the kids, minimizing his chances to act.”
“Okay. I’ll also think about making so other preparations.”
Continuously hiding from Li Lingyang wasn’t a realistic solution. If he could find them here today, he’d show up in other cities tomorrow.
Ning Yichu herself wasn’t too bothered, but having the kids constantly move around with her wasn’t sothing she wanted.
If necessary, it was best to hire a top-notch lawyer.
Worst case, she’d take him to court for custody!
After all, it was better to be prepared…
“By the way, Mr. Mo, have you seen Chen Bao and Ningning? I have no idea where those two little ones have run off to.” Ning Yichu asked worriedly, fearing Li Lingyang might abduct the kids first.
“No.” Mo Baiyou frowned slightly. “I was occupied with William discussing the collaboration earlier, so I didn’t pay much attention to their whereabouts. But don’t worry, I’ll go with you to find them.”
…
On the second floor of the exhibition hall was a specially designated resting area for guests.
Two long rows of automated rotating conveyor belts were filled with exquisite desserts and cakes, in every imaginable design—so adorably delightful.
“Brother, do you think Uncle Mo Shuai will spark romance with Mommy?”
Ningning, curious about her mommy’s always indifferent attitude toward Uncle Mo Shuai, couldn’t help but ask.
Chen Bao glanced down at her tray, which already held four or five pieces of cake. Despite his tender face, his tone was mature as he said, “I don’t know. No matter what decision Mommy makes, we’ll support her. Also… Ningning, you definitely won’t finish all those cakes. Are you sure you want to take this many?”
Ningning chuckled mischievously, “That’s why you’re here, right? I picked so for you too!”
“…” Chen Bao imdiately saw through her little sche. Ningning clearly wanted to try every flavor herself, and when she couldn’t finish, she’d turn to him!
He knew her too well.
“I don’t like sweets. Don’t expect this in the future.”
“Hehe, brother’s the best.”
Every ti he said “not next ti,” yet when the next ti ca, didn’t he still help her finish them?
Ningning’s big eyes glead with mischief.
After picking their food, the two little ones returned to their seats, only to find that their spot had been occupied by a tall figure, lazily sprawled on the sofa, legs crossed, revealing a handso profile.
Behind him stood Special Assistant Xu and a bodyguard…
Wasn’t this their scummy dad?!!
