After I Became Famous, the CEO Wants Remarriage
Chapter 222 - Chapter 222 Chapter 222 I was never pregnant

Chapter 222: Chapter 222 I was never pregnant! Chapter 222: Chapter 222 I was never pregnant! “Truly magnificent. It appears that this year I’ll have to contact the relevant departments to award you the ‘Top Ten Most Inspiring Mothers in Huaxia’ achievement.”

Li Lingyang’s voice, dripping with sarcasm, fell, and he completely ignored her. In front of everyone present, he swept Ning Yichu off her feet and carried her away!

The sudden sensation of being lifted made Ning Yichu instinctively wrap her arms around his neck and question him with her eyes.

“With those high heels you’re wearing, what if you fall? I’d better carry you,” Li Lingyang said in a tone that brooked no argument, and strode away with her in his arms.

“Aling, stop, what do you mean by that? Jiangqing fought so hard to have your child, and now you’re just going to walk away with Ning Yichu? Do you even care about your mother at all…”

Even as they walked away, they could still hear Su Huimiao’s shouts.

The image of them together was sour in the eyes of many.

What had Ning Yichu done to deserve Li Lingyang’s doting affection like this…

Especially Shen Jiangqing; her molars grinded even louder in frustration…

Su Huimiao was easy to deceive, but Li Lingyang and that old hag from the Li Family certainly weren’t, and her heart condition wouldn’t last until the child grew up; she had to plan her next move well in advance.

Ning Yichu, just you wait!

…

“Hey, Li Lingyang, that’s enough… I can walk by myself. I’m fine tonight, don’t treat me like a porcelain doll…”

Ning Yichu was imprisoned in Li Lingyang’s embrace, and thinking about how many people had seen them, she wished she could crawl into a hole and hide.

Li Lingyang domineeringly carried her to a sofa in another room, protecting her like some priceless treasure, his large hand brushing away the messy hair on her forehead, “And what if? What if something happens? Ning Yichu, can you remember at all times that you’re pregnant…”

“I…”

“I shouldn’t have gone to discuss that cooperation; I should have stayed by your side, protecting you twenty-four hours a day!”

“… ” The image was too perfect; Ning Yichu couldn’t even imagine it.

And what was even more unexpected was the sudden change in Li Lingyang, overflowing with concern.

It was like the spilling of a jar full of mixed emotions inside her, an uncomfortable mess.

“Actually… you’ve been misunderstanding all along…”

Li Lingyang felt her gaze was somewhat strange, “Misunderstanding what?”

Ning Yichu took a deep breath and said, “Li Lingyang, you don’t need to be so nervous, because I… I’m not pregnant at all!”

With those words, the air suddenly stilled.

Li Lingyang’s face tightened, the undercurrent in his deep eyes churning tumultuously, like stormy waves about to rise, “What did you say?”

“I’m not pregnant,” Ning Yichu repeated, “You’ve been misunderstanding all this time.”

A shadow fell over Li Lingyang’s face, “If you’re not pregnant, then why did you bleed and go to the hospital last time? Ning Yichu, I’ve said before, I wouldn’t mind the child in your belly, you don’t have to lie!”

“You’re overthinking it, I simply got my period that time…”

Ning Yichu’s expression was earnest.

“Then before, you lied to me that it was because I almost caused you to have a miscarriage?”

Ning Yichu cleared her throat softly, “I never said that, it’s your own interpretation.”

She hadn’t expected to run into him at the obstetrics and gynecology clinic, let alone that he would fabricate such an elaborate drama in his mind; she was amazed.

Li Lingyang recalled that she indeed never directly told him she was pregnant…

That night at the hotel, she kept saying the child might not exist.

No wonder she never cared about her diet or attire, even daring to eat crabs; turns out he was the one left in the dark all along! And here he was, constantly worried about her health…

Afraid that she would get sick, and that she had leftover complications from giving birth to Ningning abroad…

Li Lingyang felt a rush of anger at being deceived surge within his chest, dragging the atmosphere around him into a depressive lull.

After several seconds of silence, Ning Yichu took the initiative to speak, “Li Lingyang, I did not mean to deceive you. It is you who assumed things, constantly claiming that the child is Mr. Mo’s. Tell me, which woman likes to be labeled a promiscuous tramp? This is an insult to me, so I never explained…”

Hearing this, Li Lingyang’s brows twitched slightly, and he couldn’t resist turning his gaze only to see her cold and charming face, her clear and bright eyes. All the anger inside his body, in that moment, finally turned into a deep helplessness.

He really had no way of dealing with her at all…

“It’s not that I assumed things without cause, but from the timing you could have become pregnant, we never had relations, so the child absolutely could not be mine.”

“Li Lingyang, are you kidding me? We never had relations, but when I first returned to the country, you took me to a hotel, and the next day you forbade me from taking contraceptives…”

“Idiot, I never touched you that time; that’s why I told you not to take the contraceptives!”

“What…what?”

“Our real first time was at the vacation villa…” Li Lingyang whispered by her earlobe.

His dense breath drilled into her ear.

Tickling, causing a numbing sensation.

“This…” Now it was Ning Yichu who was shocked.

Li Lingyang saw the skepticism on her face, as if he were some big bad wolf, or even more demonic, and felt so stifled he was about to cough up blood, “Dunce, I, even if a beast, would never take advantage of someone in distress.”

If only he had known earlier that she thought they had been intimate that night, leading to so many misunderstandings, he would have clarified everything long ago!

Ning Yichu, “…”

So it was all a misunderstanding on her part?

Her expression changed and changed again, her mood suddenly became subtle, rippling in waves.

Li Lingyang’s gaze was profound, closely watching her eyes.

He really wanted to spank her hard!

But in the next moment, thinking that she and Mo Baiyou had nothing to do with each other, and the child was not his, his mood improved considerably…

Ning Yichu noticed how his expression flickered between clear and dark and chided him, “What are you laughing about?”

Li Lingyang curved his lips, revealing a charming smile, “So it turns out, after five years, I’m the only man for you?”

Ning Yichu’s face heated up, uncomfortable, and she averted her gaze.

The atmosphere between the two became much more relaxed and pleasant than before.

Li Lingyang’s burning gaze remained on her face as he changed the subject, “Alright, I won’t tease you anymore. Since you’re not pregnant, we don’t have to worry about it. Chen Bao hasn’t been home for a while, and grandma misses him. Tomorrow is the weekend; why don’t you two come over to the old house for dinner?”

Thinking of that kindly face, Ning Yichu hummed lightly in agreement.

Li Lingyang’s mouth curved into a smile, “I’ll pick you up when the time comes.”

…

The next day, at Junyue Mansion.

Ning Yichu had just gotten up when she received a call from the private detective, informing her that Shen Jiangqing, after ending the celebration banquet the night before, had once again secretly gone to meet a man at a hotel…

After the failed hotel capture and involving herself last time, Ning Yichu had hired a private detective to investigate the matter.

She really wanted to know who Shen Jiangqing’s adulterous partner could be…

However, Shen Jiangqing had recently been confined in a villa in the suburbs and closely watched, without any chance to go out; hence the matter had naturally been delayed until now. Unexpectedly, today she heard the news once again.

Was Shen Jiangqing so eager that she really did not care about the child in her womb at all?

A dark light flashed in Ning Yichu’s eyes, “Find a way to get photos of them!”

“Yes, Lady Ning!”
