After I Became Famous, the CEO Wants Remarriage
Chapter 211 - Chapter 211 Chapter 211 Playing the Rogue

Chapter 211: Chapter 211: Playing the Rogue Chapter 211: Chapter 211: Playing the Rogue “That’s tough on you!” Ning Yichu had barely finished speaking when Li Lingyang quickly agreed, as if he had eagerly awaited her request.

Ning Yichu looked at him in surprise a few times, only to find he still had that same cold, indifferent expression, as if what had just happened was an illusion.

Fortunately, the medical kit in the car was well-stocked with drugs, alcohol, swabs, and everything needed.

She bent down to start the treatment…

Li Lingyang’s wound was actually quite deep. When she applied alcohol to it, Ning Yichu couldn’t help but wince just by watching, her slender, dense lashes trembling, a flash of guilt in her eyes, “If you feel pain, I’ll try to be gentler.”

“It doesn’t hurt,” Li Lingyang stared at her intensely with deep-set eyes, “Go ahead.”

Embarrassed by his gaze, Ning Yichu bit her lower lip, “I’ll remember this favor today. If you ever need my help in the future, I’d be obligate to assist.”

“I need something now.”

“Hmm?” That quickly?

Li Lingyang said earnestly, “I’ve noticed you have a very professional touch when treating wounds…”

Was this guy expecting her to take care of his wound?

She was a surgical expert herself, so this wouldn’t be a problem.

“If you’re not willing, I won’t force you, but it’s best if you bandage it tightly. I still have a meeting to attend tonight…” Seeing her silence, Li Lingyang suddenly covered his wound and coughed twice, pretending to be weak.

Ning Yichu’s lips twitched, but she agreed, “Okay, calm down. Healing is the priority.”

Li Lingyang’s goal was achieved, a subtle smile crossing the depths of his eyes.

Chen Bao’s face darkened upon seeing this scene.

His father was really too presumptuous!

A dark light flashed in his eyes, suddenly interrupting their subtle interaction, “Ningning, does your face still hurt?”

As smart as Ningning was, she understood what her brother meant instantly.

With a mischievous glint in her pretty eyes, she deliberately gasped in pain, “Hiss… it still hurts a little…”

Sure enough, upon hearing this, Ning Yichu’s attention was immediately diverted, “Does it still hurt even with the medicine applied? Then mommy will help reduce the swelling for you; it’ll feel better.”

As she spoke, she took out an ice pack from the car refrigerator and carefully applied it.

Li Lingyang knew these two kids were doing it on purpose.

However, this afternoon’s accident made Li Lingyang realize Ning Yichu’s place in his heart clearly; he couldn’t deceive himself anymore, he had never forgotten her!

Even though Ning Yichu was now carrying another man’s child, he still wanted to be with her!

But to pursue Ning Yichu, he’d have to win over Chen Bao and Ningning first…

The medical supplies in the car were limited, so Ning Yichu still recommended that Li Lingyang and Ningning go to the hospital for a check-up.

Ning Yichu accompanied Ningning to the examination room.

Li Lingyang secretly found Chen Bao.

“I heard Ningning really enjoys gaming, and it just so happens that a business partner sent me a PS5. I have no use for it, so I might as well give it to you two to play.”

Chen Bao rolled his eyes incredulously, “Not interested.”

“Kid, don’t you like Ningning? I’m trying to help you win her over.”

“Heh, are you sure you’re not using me to please Ningning, and by extension, win over Aunt Ning?” Chen Bao ruthlessly exposed his father’s tactics.

Li Lingyang raised an eyebrow, “And what about it? I’ve decided that you and Ningning aren’t suitable for dating; being siblings is more appropriate.

Chen Bao nearly spat blood.

“You’re still young. In the future, there will be a world full of beautiful women. Maybe one day, you will find that what you feel for Ningning is just the friendship of children, not true love.” Li Lingyang patted the little guy’s head with his uninjured hand, his tone very serious.

Listening, Chen Bao almost wanted to say: Dad, who are you trying to fool?

But he had to admit, his father was right to some extent.

He and Ningning were siblings after all!

He had seen all of the deadbeat dad’s recent moves and knew that he was trying to pursue his mommy, but considering his dubious past, he decided to assess him a bit longer before coming to any conclusions.

The next day.

Saint Peter Kindergarten.

Due to the sudden incident that had occurred the day before, which had provoked dissatisfaction from Li Lingyang as well as complaints from several parents, the kindergarten’s upper management had completely turned over a new leaf.

Security management had also become much stricter than usual.

Approaching dismissal time, Li Lingyang had called Ning Yichu early on to inform her that he would come to apply her medicine and also to pick up Ningning and Chen Bao to bring them over to her.

After yesterday’s kidnapping crisis involving Ningning, Ning Yichu instinctively trusted that the children would be safe with Li Lingyang, and she did not refuse.

As the agreed time approached, by the time Ning Yichu got back to Junyue Mansion, Li Lingyang and the children were just alighting from the car.

Their eyes met, and a flurry of subtle ripples stirred within the depths of the man’s profound gaze.

“The timing is quite coincidental,” he remarked, intentionally swinging his arm as if fearful she’d fail to notice.

It’d be hard for Ning Yichu not to take note now, and her face involuntarily creased with several lines of consternation, “How is your wound?”

“It’s alright, just not quite used to having the bandage on…”

“You’re injured now, you’ll have to get used to the discomfort whether you like it or not,” Ning Yichu said helplessly, “Come on, let’s go in so I can change your dressing.”

“Okay!” Li Lingyang cheerfully agreed.

Doudou was thrilled at the thought of spending the upcoming time with Aunt Ning, hopping around like a jovial little rabbit in her excitement while orbiting Ning Yichu.

Chengcheng’s eyes revealed his displeasure.

Wasn’t there a family doctor at the old house? Was it necessary to have this unprofessional woman tend to him?

He followed, albeit reluctantly.

And so, their group headed to Ning Yichu’s home in a grand procession.

The slap mark on Ningning’s face had already subsided after the previous night’s icing, and there were no significant issues left.

She excitedly began playing a game with Chen Bao and Doudou.

To Chengcheng, the activity was beneath him. He pulled a book from his backpack and started to read.

He was simply not like the rest of them!

The household’s medicine box was kept in the bedroom.

No sooner had Ning Yichu stepped in to retrieve it than Li Lingyang promptly followed, squeezing into the room.

The bedroom, once spacious, seemed to shrink with his entrance, suddenly feeling cramped.

The man casually closed the door behind him.

A heavy scent of pheromones hit her face, and Ning Yichu frowned, vigilant, “What are you doing in here?”

“Proactively getting my medicine.”

Li Lingyang presented his case confidently, leaving Ning Yichu speechless for a good while.

Eventually, with a scowl, she pointed towards the reclining couch and instructed, “Just sit over there, obediently!”

For once, Li Lingyang complied without protest.

His long legs and arms made him appear constrained on the low-lying lounger, but not a hint of discomfort showed on his face. Instead, he casually extended his arm.

Ning Yichu prepared the medical supplies and began to unwrap the gauze from the day before…

The wound was clearly healing better than before, showing no signs of infection.

“It looks like you’re healing nicely, but you should still watch your diet for a while. Avoid spicy and irritating foods, and be careful when showering–try to keep the area dry…”

After instructing him, Ning Yichu inadvertently looked up to find Li Lingyang staring at her intensely.

She felt an odd sensation in her heart, “Why are you staring at me like that?”
