Chapter 351: Chapter 351: Help Him, and He Turns Sour?
Ningning’s big eyes were filled with excitent.
Scummy dad and Mo Shuai were both fighting over mommy. So thrilling!
If mommy were here right now, it would be like an idol drama plot.
Maybe their strong inner desire worked, because Ning Yichu ca in from outside carrying hot water.
As soon as she entered, she sensed an unusual atmosphere. Her pink lips slightly parted, “What are you guys doing?”
Seeing the woman’s gentle and peaceful face, Li Lingyang imdiately broke eye contact with Mo Baiyou and gazed at her with tenderness instead.
“It’s nothing. Just expressing my gratitude to Mr. Mo for taking care of you during this ti.”
“Really?”
Why does it feel like a tense collision between two planets?
Mo Baiyou’s lips curled slightly. “Hmm, I can certainly feel all of President Li’s gratitude.”
“You must have worked hard, considering you’re always running to the hospital for no reason. Auntie must be annoyed by now, right?” Ning Yichu said, putting down the kettle while expressing her thanks.
“Not at all. She’s hoping I’ll spend more ti with you. After all… you are soone very important to .”
The mont he said “very important,” he deliberately paused, as if emphasizing sothing.
Watching them laugh and chat, Li Lingyang’s jealousy surged like a tidal wave.
Did Mo Baiyou think he was invisible?!
“Speaking of which, regarding Ningning’s dication, we really owe thanks to Mr. Mo’s mother. Chu Chu, when I recover, let’s take the kids to visit this kind aunt together!”
Ning Yichu’s attention was drawn back, and she snorted coldly, “If you genuinely want to show gratitude, go visit. But don’t go there looking for trouble.”
From the look on his face, he seed more like he was going to pick a fight.
Li Lingyang smirked. “Of course, I’m sincere. Ningning is our child. Her illness makes feel just as bad. I would never hesitate to show my appreciation to those who can help her.”
As he spoke, Li Lingyang intentionally cast a gentle look at Ningning.
Ningning shuddered, unable to take it anymore.
Scummy dad is so oily…
She grabbed Chen Bao and made a run for it.
Ning Yichu watched as the kids left abruptly, then shot a glare at Li Lingyang.
Li Lingyang, unfazed, fixed his black eyes on her. “Chu Chu, this position I’ve been lying in is uncomfortable. Can you help adjust it?”
Mrs. Ning used to be cared for by Ning Yichu when she was sick.
Ning Yichu thought nothing of it and was about to step forward…
Suddenly, Mo Baiyou’s eyes flashed and he blocked Ning Yichu, his tone light. “President Li is strong and healthy. Adjusting his position might require physical strength. Chu Chu is delicate; she probably wouldn’t manage. Let help you instead.”
Li Lingyang’s eye twitched visibly.
As he watched Mo Baiyou approach, the word “resistance” might as well have been written on his face.
This Mo Baiyou—he truly went to great lengths to keep Li away from Chu Chu!
“No need. I despise n touching . Particularly one like Mr. Mo, whose intentions are impure!” Li Lingyang retorted darkly.
Ning Yichu rolled her eyes. “Didn’t you used to be fine with Young Master Mu hanging onto you all the ti?”
Li Lingyang: “Mu Bailang is straight.”
“…Mr. Mo is straight too.”
“He doesn’t have a single female companion; who knows?” Li Lingyang deliberately replied.
Ning Yichu really wanted to throw a pillow at his face. Was Li Lingyang trying to provoke him?
Knowing full well how Mo Baiyou felt about her…
The road of love—three people really is too crowded.
She wishes she could walk her solitary path instead.
“Mr. Mo, if you have things to attend to, please go ahead. Special Assistant Xu and I can handle things here.”
Mo Baiyou’s thin lips tightened. In the end, he said nothing, offered a few reminders, and left the hospital room.
Ning Yichu placed her hands on her hips and glared at Li Lingyang. “Happy now?!”
“Finally, the eyesore is gone.” Li Lingyang didn’t bother to hide his blatant efforts to exclude Mo Baiyou.
Ning Yichu was speechless. She stepped forward to tilt Li Lingyang over and adjust his position, but just then, his rough palm suddenly gripped her wrist.
“What are you doing?” Ning Yichu reflexively pulled away.
Li Lingyang’s pupils shrank slightly, a faint flicker of loss flashing in his eyes.
He thought that, after facing a life-and-death crisis together…
She might have finally started to accept him.
But even such a montary touch made her instinctively recoil…
“I don’t want to adjust anymore. I need to go to the restroom!” Li Lingyang quickly masked his feelings and spoke as if nothing had happened.
The room went quiet, as though a flock of crows had flown by, breaking the initial tension with awkwardness.
Was he serious?
Ning Yichu’s expression froze and cracked slightly. “Li Lingyang, don’t tell you expect to help you?”
“Of course! I told you I don’t like caregivers hovering around. Besides, being watched by strangers… I lose the urge.”
Ning Yichu’s emotions were all over the place. Clenching her teeth, she said, “Then hold it in. People don’t die from not going to the bathroom!”
“…”
Li Lingyang remained silent but started showing signs he would get up and do it himself.
The IV tube wobbled violently, the needle on the back of his hand almost backflowing…
“Stop it!” Ning Yichu had no choice but to press him down again.
She was completely fed up with him!
“Li Lingyang, I’m telling you—if it weren’t for you saving Chen Bao, I wouldn’t bother to care about you.”
After venting, Ning Yichu reluctantly helped lift his arm and get him out of bed.
Li Lingyang lowered his gaze, a flicker of tenderness sweeping through his eyes, his towering figure standing in the room.
“I know you’re only doing this for the children.”
But it’s only temporary.
He would slowly lt her and the kids’ hearts again, bit by bit.
Supporting his arm with one hand and holding the IV bottle with the other, Ning Yichu cautiously accompanied him into the restroom. After a brief hesitation, she followed him in.
After all the effort, beads of cold sweat appeared on Li Lingyang’s forehead.
But the faint fragrance of the woman lingered in his nose…
Her soft, warm hand was supporting his arm. His dark gaze deepened, feeling as though the suffering he endured was worth it.
The bathroom had hooks for hanging IV bottles, but Li Lingyang’s injured leg made it impossible for him to support himself.
Ning Yichu had to hold onto him with both hands, turning her red face away, urging him, “Alright, I’m holding the IV bottle. You can go.”
“Chu Chu…”
Li Lingyang’s rich, sexy voice echoed in the narrow restroom.
He shook his IV-connected left hand. “I’m quite inconvenient right now.”
Inconvenient to do what?
Inconvenient…?
Ning Yichu: “…”
“You…”
“Since you’ve helped all the way here, and we’ve had children together… help undo it, okay?” His raspy voice carried faint enticent as Li Lingyang used his healthy right hand to guide Ning Yichu’s small hand to assist him.
But…
Down there, he remained calm as ever.
The brief mont of suggestiveness dissipated entirely, replaced by sheer annoyance.
