After I Became Famous, the CEO Wants Remarriage
Chapter 221 - Chapter 221 Chapter 221 Do you know how scared I was

Chapter 221: Chapter 221 Do you know how scared I was? Chapter 221: Chapter 221 Do you know how scared I was? Mr. Ji thought of his daughter’s behavior and was immediately choked up, unable to speak. But to apologize was absolutely impossible for him, so he looked coldly toward Mrs. Ji, who, in the end, begrudgingly apologized for her daughter.

…

On the other side, at a billiards club, Li Lingyang was discussing the latest cooperation case with a foreign client.

His phone kept ringing incessantly.

He saw that it was messages forwarded by Mu Bailang, so he didn’t take it to heart. After finishing discussions with the client, he opened his phone only to discover that among the numerous harassing messages from Mu Bailang, there was also an anonymous text–

“Do you want to know Ning Yichu’s true face? Come to tonight’s Beiji celebration party. There will be a good show, absolutely thrilling.”

Li Lingyang’s heart immediately sensed something ominous and he sped off in his car toward the celebration party.

Meanwhile, he kept calling Ning Yichu.

“Sorry, the number you have dialed is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later…”

But all he got in return was the mechanical female voice!

Damn it!

She mustn’t get into trouble. Why didn’t he pay more attention to his phone earlier?

Li Lingyang clenched the steering wheel with both hands, pressing the gas pedal to the floor, nearly careening through traffic. A thirty-minute journey was completed in just over ten minutes, and he still loathed that it was too slow…

If he had known, he wouldn’t have been stubbornly holding a grudge against Mo Baiyou and would have taken the invitation to go directly to the celebration party!

Finally, he arrived at the celebration party hotel…

Without realizing it, Li Lingyang was breaking out in a cold sweat on his back as he rushed inside.

But just as he entered, he overheard the waitstaff whispering next to him…

“That’s really an eyesore. That woman fooling around with three men is even worse than our country widows!”

“I was just cleaning up the bedsheets in that room, ugh… Goosebumps were shedding all over the place!”

“Now everyone here knows how cheap that woman is. If she were my daughter, it would be better if she were drowned in a dung pit after birth…”

In an instant, Li Lingyang’s tall figure stiffened, and his cold, sharp eyes shot toward the two waitstaff.

The waitstaff immediately felt as if Death itself was staring at them, shivering all over. They turned their heads only to meet the man’s harsh, knife-like expression, and they all shuddered in unison.

“What happened upstairs just now?” Li Lingyang asked deliberately, pausing between each word, each one seeming to be squeezed out from between his teeth, cold enough to whip up a chill wind.

…

The Ji Family left in low spirits, and Mrs. Ji was eager to take her daughter to the hospital to examine her wounds.

And unbeknownst to anyone, the twenty-third floor had already gathered most of the heavyweights attending tonight’s celebration party.

As one of the organizers, Ning Yichu naturally stepped forward and said, “I’m very sorry to have let everyone witness a farce and to have disturbed your pleasure. Next, Beiji has prepared other small activities for you, and we hope you can forget the recent unpleasantness…”

Mo Baiyou’s lips curled into an indulgent smile, speaking lightly, “As compensation, all of your orders at Beiji will be given a five percent discount.”

Beiji has always dealt with luxury goods and jewelry, with order amounts usually in the millions — even a five percent discount could save a significant amount of money. Although nobody really cared about the discount, it represented Beiji’s sincerity.

With both drama to watch and benefits to reap, the guests’ mood became lively once again.

Ning Yichu led the crowd with a smile, moving in an orderly fashion through the corridor, waiting for the elevator.

Ding-dong, the elevator arrived.

Ning Yichu instinctively reached out to hold the elevator door open, beckoning the guests to enter first. Unexpectedly, a tall figure emerged from the elevator.

The man was in a hurry, and before Ning Yichu could react, he suddenly lunged forward with a swift step, wrapping his arms tightly around Ning Yichu as if he wanted to merge her into his bones!

“Umm…” Ning Yichu was completely baffled, “Li Lingyang? What are you doing? Let me go…”

“Don’t move. Do you know how scared I was when I saw that text just now? Thank goodness you’re okay, thank goodness it wasn’t you! Ning Yichu… I’ve never felt so panicked before…”

Li Lingyang held her tight, burying his face in her shoulder, lightly sniffing the faint scent of her shower gel.

Listening closely, his voice was trembling, and he was somewhat incoherent.

That overwhelming care silently seeped into Ning Yichu’s heart.

Her attempts to shake off the man stiffened, and Ning Yichu realized that he had come specifically out of concern for her, stirring an inexplicable surge in her heart.

She could hear his frantic heartbeat and feel his breathless perspiration, indicating that he clearly rushed over…

Was it because he was worried about her safety?

“I’m fine now, let me go. There are many people here! I don’t want to be stared at like a monkey…”

Li Lingyang had no desire to release her at all. What did those passersby matter? Why should he care about their attention?

“Aling, aren’t you negotiating with overseas clients tonight? How come you’re here?” However, at this moment, Su Huimiao walked up with Shen Jiangqing.

Su Huimiao’s painfully awkward remark forced Li Lingyang to loosen his hold on Ning Yichu, but he didn’t give Su Huimiao and Shen Jiangqing a second glance, all his attention fixated on Ning Yichu.

That intensity was as if he wanted to swallow her whole.

Ning Yichu, too, felt embarrassed by his gaze, her eyes darting around in panic…

Did he have to stare at her like that?!

She was becoming unaccustomed to his tender gaze…

“Aling, how have you been recently?” Shen Jiangqing, witnessing their almost tangible connection, suppressed the hatred in her eyes and called out gently.

Li Lingyang, upon seeing her, roughly understood the situation and said with a dark countenance, “Miss Shen, we’ve long since broken up. How I am is none of your business, is it?”

Shen Jiangqing’s face turned pale, feigning helplessness as she glanced at the woman beside her.

Right on cue, Su Huimiao spoke up, “Aling, surely you’re aware of Jiangqing’s pregnancy by now. Regardless of everything, she is still the mother of the child in your belly; perhaps you shouldn’t dwell too much on past events…”

“Heh, the mother of the child…” Li Lingyang gave her belly a meaningful glance.

Shen Jiangqing had no idea that Li Lingyang had already seen through her and instead offered a hypocritical fake smile, “Aling, I will bear you another son…”

Li Lingyang felt utter disgust, a cold curve appearing on his lips, “As far as I know, your heart condition won’t even allow you to have another child. So, what, you’ve decided your life isn’t worth keeping?”

Shen Jiangqing looked at him, wounded and filled with tenderness, “When the pregnancy is further along, we can try to schedule an early Caesarean section. If it really becomes impossible to save both, then I’m prepared to risk my life, because I love you. As long as I can leave behind our bloodline, I can sacrifice anything…”

She was also using these words to tell Su Huimiao.

Su Huimiao was thoroughly moved.

This was true love, unlike Ning Yichu, that little wretch who betrayed her son…
