Ning Yichu turned stiffly and, upon turning her head, saw a ghastly face that made her heart feel like it had stopped in that instant.
She almost let out a scream, almost instinctively running to the side.
Li Lingyang habitually opened his arms and embraced her.
In an instant, the distance between the two was extremely close, and they could even feel each other’s heartbeat.
Yet, Ning Yichu didn’t think of anything romantic at all.
All her attention was focused on the ghastly face, her eyes tightly shut.
Li Lingyang looked down and saw the frightened Ning Yichu, his lips curving into a faint, almost imperceptible smile, and then he chuckled bitterly—had it not been for this scenario, she surely wouldn’t have thrown herself into his arms, would she?
He lifted his eyes, his gaze sharp, and gave a cold glance at the NPC in front.
Li Lingyang, who had long held a high position, controlled the economic lifeline of countless people in Imperial City, naturally possessed an imposing aura.
The NPC was terrified and shuddered unexpectedly.
Oh, come on, who is the real ghost here…
The NPC swallowed nervously and silently drifted to the side.
Ning Yichu buried her head in the man’s chest, smelling the unique faint fragrance belonging to him.
The panic at her heart inexplicably vanished, replaced by a sense of safety.
Ning Yichu belatedly realized the posture they were in and instinctively took a step back.
At that moment, Li Lingyang suddenly caught her wrist precisely, his hoarse voice carrying a hint of teasing, “Don’t you think this atmosphere is fitting for something else?”
“Not at all.”
What atmosphere could there be in a haunted place? Ning Yichu struggled forcefully.
But Li Lingyang’s strength was astonishingly great, making her resistance seem as futile as an ant trying to shake a tree—utterly insignificant.
Li Lingyang looked down, his eyes shadowy, his fingers sliding from her wrist and instantly grasping her hand.
Ning Yichu grew even more annoyed, “What are you doing?”
Li Lingyang, feeling the softness in his palm, suddenly felt a pang of reluctance in his heart, somewhat unwilling to let go.
Without a trace of embarrassment, he spoke up, “It’s too dark here; let’s hurry and look for the children.”
Ning Yichu, at a loss for words, though reluctant in her heart, couldn’t find reason to argue given the pitch-dark surroundings, “You don’t need to tell me; I know!”
She huffed in pride and, after finishing her sentence, took the lead pulling Li Lingyang forward.
Li Lingyang raised an eyebrow and followed her pace.
He looked at their joined hands, a strange and indescribable sentiment emerging in his heart, like electricity coursing through, tingling.
A strange thought suddenly popped into Li Lingyang’s mind.
If he had been willing to understand Ning Yichu more back then, and had treated her well…
Would their current relationship have been different?
The two continued hand in hand, moving forward.
On the way to find the children, several NPCs appeared intermittently.
All were frightened off by a mere glance from Li Lingyang.
They successfully found the children at the exit, who had finished playing and come out…
Ning Yichu, without a second thought, immediately let go of his hand and stepped back.
Li Lingyang’s expression darkened in an instant.
Fortunately, the children noticed nothing amiss and excitedly related what they had just seen and heard inside.
After they left the escape room, the sky outside had already darkened.
Ning Yichu then took them to a Chinese buffet restaurant.
For the food-loving Ningning, this was practically a heavenly place.
She picked up a small plate and began to help herself…
When other people saw that scene, they felt their appetites stirred up.
Ning Yichu put her bag down while Chen Bao stayed to watch, and Ning Yichu went to the self-service food area.
She saw some freshly served crab and reached for the tongs to grab it—
However, Li Lingyang’s displeased voice rang out again, “As a pregnant woman, why do you always want to eat cold food?”
Didn’t she know that crab is cold in nature?
Thinking of her current situation, Ning Yichu frowned slightly but did not explain. Instead, she changed the subject, “Thank you, President Li, for caring about me and Baiyou’s child. I was getting the crab for Ningning!”
After saying that, she turned and walked away with her plate in hand, her departure both carefree and glamorous.
Li Lingyang’s face turned ugly, and he had no appetite for food. He simply went to the rooftop to smoke.
After eating, the group split up.
Seeing that Chen Bao had no intention of coming back, Li Lingyang did not insist.
Though Shen Jiangqing had left, Chen Bao was not dependent on him, which felt like a failure on his part as a father.
On the way back to the Li Mansion with Doudou, the dappled light streamed through the car window, and Doudou’s face wore a radiant smile, as if reliving the joys of the day.
Li Lingyang, seeing her smile, was unconsciously affected, “Did you have fun today?”
Doudou nodded vigorously, gesturing with her hands, “Fun, so much fun.”
Li Lingyang’s eyes softened, “Do you enjoy playing with them?”
“I really like Aunt Ning, Brother Chen Bao, Sister Ningning; they all take good care of me…”
Doudou continued gesturing and shared with her dad the usual mealtime experiences when he was not around, knowing he had gone upstairs during the meal.
“Sister Ningning is such a foodie. She likes everything in the buffet except for seafood!”
When Li Lingyang saw this gesture, he was momentarily startled, suspicion flickering in his eyes.
“Ningning doesn’t eat seafood?”
Doudou, completely oblivious to Li Lingyang’s troubled expression, continued, “She says… it’s too troublesome to peel, slows down her eating speed.”
Li Lingyang suddenly understood. Ning Yichu was intentionally deceiving him.
The source of this c𝓸ntent is freewebnøvel.coɱ.
That crab was actually for her!
Li Lingyang’s complexion darkened, his chest filled with displeasure.
How could that woman be so careless about her pregnancy? And Baiyou wasn’t there with her either?
Then more irritating thoughts surged.
The child wasn’t even his; if there were problems, it would be her own issue!
Even so, Li Lingyang couldn’t help but think of her taking Chen Bao and Ningning out by bus or taxi. What if there were an accident?
A thought flashed through Li Lingyang’s mind, and he made a phone call.
…
The weekend passed quickly, and it was soon a workday.
After asking Aunt Wang to take the children to kindergarten, Ning Yichu was about to head to Beiji Group.
Unexpectedly, just as she left the house, she saw a custom pink Maserati parked outside, wrapped with a transparent gift box.
It was topped with a bow, looking incredibly dreamy.
“Hello, are you Miss Ning Yichu?” Suddenly a staff member approached.
Ning Yichu responded with a light hum, suspiciously asking, “What is this?”
The staff member smiled slightly, “This is a gift from Mr. Li Lingyang. Please sign for it!”
Hearing this, Ning Yichu’s expression instantly stiffened, and she looked at him in astonishment, then glanced at the luxury car beside her.
Her entire being felt disarrayed in the wind.
Li Lingyang, what kind of madness was this?
