After I Became Famous, the CEO Wants Remarriage
Chapter 232 - Chapter 232 Chapter 232 Oh no my necklace is gone

Chapter 232: Chapter 232 Oh no, my necklace is gone? Chapter 232: Chapter 232 Oh no, my necklace is gone? Doudou praised generously, “It looks really pretty!”

“Hehe, I think so too…”

Sitting at a nearby desk, Chengcheng had his eyes on the whole scene, a calculating glint passing through his gaze.

He immediately sent a message with his phone watch, “Mummy, Ningning accepted that necklace!”

Shen Jiangqing, in the Yudu Dragon Bay Villa, received the message and smiled maliciously.

“Baby did great, now we’re in for a good show.”

A look of anticipation surfaced in Chengcheng’s eyes. He had found Ningning, that little wild child, annoying for a long time, and now she was finally going to be in trouble!

After playing with his classmates, Chen Bao came home and noticed the necklace around his sister’s neck.

“Where did this necklace come from?”

“Doudou gave it to me, how does it look, pretty?” Ningning showed off, twirling twice in front of her brother in a bid for praise.

“It’s pretty indeed, but it looks valuable?” Chen Bao asked cautiously.

“Doudou didn’t say much, maybe Granny Li gave it to her, and she passed it on to me…”

Prompted by her brother’s words, Ningning also felt she might have accepted it too rashly, “Should I give it back to her after school?”

Chen Bao, thinking of Doudou’s innocent nature, said, “Never mind, it’s a gesture of her goodwill. Since she gave it to you, you should keep it. After school tonight, I’ll buy a necklace of equivalent value to give back to her.”

Ningning agreed.

The clock on the wall ticked away, and soon it was time to get out of school.

On the way to pick them up, Ning Yichu received a phone call from Old Madam Li, saying that the family had a new Sichuan chef whose cooking was exceptional, inviting them to come over for a taste.

Unable to refuse the hospitality, Ning Yichu, after picking up Chen Bao and Ningning, took them to the old home.

Li Lingyang, of course, followed closely behind with Doudou and Chengcheng.

Old Madam Li had been waiting for a long time, not only preparing a feast for them but also lots of things to eat and play with.

Even Beile, the pet dog, was brought out by the old butler…

Beile was a championship-level husky, and he had recently visited the pet beauty salon again. His black and white fur had been specially trimmed and maintained, now even fluffier and softer to the touch, irresistibly cuddly.

Chen Bao, Ningning, and Doudou, upon seeing Beile, couldn’t help but go up and start playing with him.

Beile, seeing his three little owners, wagged his tail non-stop.

Chengcheng didn’t understand why they were so interested in an animal and stood to the side, watching with his hands in his pockets and a cold eye.

Old Madam Li felt that since their arrival, the old house finally came alive, filled with a human touch, no longer empty and cold.

Her eyes crinkled into a smile, and her wrinkles made her look more kindly, “Chen Bao, Ningning, Doudou, go play with Beile later. Eat your meal first, or the food will cool and won’t taste as good!”

“Okay, Granny.” Ningning reluctantly patted Beile’s head, then along with her brother and Doudou, they put down their schoolbags and followed the others to the dining room.

Beile followed them around for a bit, then noticing that they were busy eating and chatting, had no one to pay attention to him.

Bored, he returned to the living room.

When left alone, Beile showed his true husky nature–picking up Ningning’s loosely zipped schoolbag as if on a treasure hunt, sticking his nose in and rummaging around.

Soon, he found a black velvet box inside and excitedly brought it back to his doghouse to chew on…

Not until he heard the little owners finishing their dinner, did he stop chewing on the box and, wagging his tail, ran back to play with them.

It didn’t take long for the sky to darken, and a crescent moon hung high in the sky, surrounded by twinkling stars.

Ning Yichu also prepared to take the children home.

She had just informed Old Madam Li when, in the next second, Li Lingyang stood up automatically, “I’ll drive you.”

Old Madam Li was taken aback. Aling, that rascal, seemed to be getting more involved with Yichu’s affairs recently.

“Aling, there’s no need for you to trouble yourself with driving Yichu home today because I specially hired a very handsome driver today to take Yichu and the kids home!” Old Madam Li purposely emphasized the words “very handsome” as she spoke.

Indubitably, Li Lingyang’s face turned a shade darker with success.

Due to past events, Ning Yichu harbored a strong aversion to him, and this was the only time each day he could get close to her.

He definitely didn’t want to lose even this little chance…

Li Lingyang immediately said, “Granny, Ning Yichu and the kids are used to me driving them, so you can keep that handsome driver for yourself.”

Old Madam Li snorted lightly, “If you want to be a driver, that’ll first require Chu Chu’s consent!”

Instantly, two pairs of eyes fell onto Ning Yichu, both awaiting her choice.

She felt the pressure from both sides and compromised, “Actually, we can also just take a cab home.”

At those words, Old Madam Li immediately furrowed her brows, “How dangerous, especially with it getting so late now. What if you encounter some criminals? It’s not that I’m paranoid, but it’s better to be safe than sorry…”

Li Lingyang nodded and appropriately added, “Granny is right, so you really do need my protection.”

Old Madam Li, “?!”

This little rascal…

So everything she had just said turned into his setup!

Li Lingyang casually picked up Chen Bao and Ningning’s schoolbags, “Stop dawdling, let’s go.”

Ning Yichu knew that given this man’s domineering nature, this would be the outcome, so she blandly conceded.

Seeing her reaction, Li Lingyang felt somewhat dissatisfied and leaned in to her ear to ask through gritted teeth, “Don’t tell me I’m not enough for you, that you’re actually thinking about the handsome driver?”

“You’re overthinking it. Honestly, I don’t want either you or the handsome driver.”

With that, she strode forward with the kids, leaving him behind.

Li Lingyang found himself at a loss for words, his chest felt tight, but he couldn’t help but follow them.

Old Madam Li couldn’t help but chuckle from behind, “Chu Chu, don’t be polite, just boss this little rascal around!”

“Okay, Granny~” Ning Yichu’s mood mysteriously improved seeing Li Lingyang out of sorts.

Fifteen minutes later, they smoothly returned to Junyue Mansion.

As they parted, Li Lingyang watched the woman in the passenger seat, a trace of reluctance in his eyes.

But Ning Yichu clearly didn’t retain any sentiment; after saying “thank you,” she left with the children.

A faint sense of loss settled in the depths of Li Lingyang’s eyes, wondering when he could reopen Ning Yichu’s heart…

…

The next evening, when Ning Yichu went to pick up the kids, she unexpectedly saw two familiar figures–Su Huimiao and Shen Jiangqing!

It was truly bizarre; Li Lingyang had always been the one picking up the children recently. Their sudden appearance now was somewhat jarring.

But none of this was her concern!

She just needed to take her darlings home.

Ning Yichu simply ignored them, passing by with her sunglasses on without giving them a second glance.

Shen Jiangqing looked at the proud figure walking away, recalling what Chengcheng had said the day before, with unstoppable jealousy in her eyes, she couldn’t help but say, “Mom, look at Ning Yichu, she’s getting more and more arrogant. She didn’t even greet you, her elder…”

She, banking on the child in her womb, had gradually risen in status in the Li Family, alongside Su Huimiao.

And today, she had convinced Su Huimiao to come to Saint Peter Kindergarten to pick up the kids.

“This little bitch has always lacked manners, don’t bother with her,” Su Huimiao said, eager to see her grandson and unwilling to fuss over such trifles.

Shen Jiangqing was still displeased, but thinking about what was to come, her expression softened, and with a smirk, she walked in, quickly finding Doudou and Chengcheng.

Doudou had been looking forward to her daddy coming for her, but to her surprise, she saw Shen Jiangqing, and her heart sank.

She put on her little backpack, ready to leave with them.

At that moment, Shen Jiangqing, seeing her, suddenly exclaimed dramatically, “Oh, Doudou, where’s the necklace mommy gave you?”
