After I Became Famous, the CEO Wants Remarriage

Chapter 16: Chapter 16 A Fragmented Night

Li Lingyang saw her flush cheeks and the sweat covering her body, raised an eyebrow, and said, “You’re this drunk, and you think you can walk on your own?”

As he spoke, accompanied by a faint mint fragrance, it was as if he had a fatal attraction, tempting her to do something, no, no, she couldn’t continue like this!

She desperately wanted to get away from him!

“I’m fine… really fine, just feeling a bit uncomfortable…”

Li Lingyang instantly felt something was off, covered her forehead with his large palm, “How much exactly did you drink?”

The moment his hand touched her, Ning Yichu felt that chill again.

...

Almost reflexively, she slapped his hand away and stumbled back a large step, finally steadying herself by clinging to a nearby tree, yet out of her mouth came, “Stay away from me, better if you’d just disappear right now.”

A slight pain transmitted from the back of his hand, Li Lingyang’s whole body emitted a cold chill, “You want me to leave that badly?”

“I…” As soon as she spoke, it came out fragmented, “I can manage on my own…” @@novelbin@@

“Your reaction tells me you can’t.” Li Lingyang calmed down, realizing something, and suddenly asked with a dangerous tone, “Was there something in that drink?”

Ning Yichu bit her lower lip hard, remained silent, worried that if she spoke, it would come out as a whisper.

Li Lingyang knitted his brows, regretting not having had that bald man taken care of earlier, took a deep breath, and said, “I’ll take you to the hospital.”

Ning Yichu was very afraid, afraid that if she couldn’t control herself, she’d do something she’d regret, and her consciousness was still gradually blurring, continuing like this, the consequences would be unimaginable!

“No need! I can just take a taxi…”

She said, holding her breath, and staggered to the curb to hail a taxi.

Li Lingyang’s eyebrows furrowed deeply, his complexion ominously dark and terrifying.

Even like this, she still thought about keeping her distance from him?

Just then a vacant taxi passed by, Ning Yichu without a word waved it down, tried to bend to get in, but the moment the car door was half-opened, Li Lingyang scooped her up by the waist, “Haven’t you caused enough trouble? What if you lose control in the car?”

“What are you doing? Let me go, don’t touch me, I really can’t hold back much longer…” Ning Yichu felt she was reaching her limit, and yet Li Lingyang was holding her.

That discomfort made her outburst carry a hint of a sob.

A glint of darkness flickered in the depths of Li Lingyang’s eyes, suddenly blurting out, “If you can’t hold back, then don’t.”

As the words fell, both were caught off guard, their eyes locking, as if the atmosphere had changed…

Ning Yichu’s intoxicated gaze drifted to his thin lips.

Despite her reason telling her she should get in the car and flee, her body acted as if it had a mind of its own…

Li Lingyang’s tall frame suddenly tensed, then he pinched her chin and kissed her.

Ning Yichu winced in pain, completely thrown into panic.

What were they doing?

They were already divorced!

He had a girlfriend, even twins, she wasn’t sober, was he not sober either?

She desperately tried to push him away, Li Lingyang caught her hand, her flaring nostrils and the gleam of tears in her eyes revealing her panic.

Li Lingyang felt her withdrawal, but it was already too late to back out.

What was more terrifying, he discovered, over the past five years, no matter how Shen Jiangqing tempted him, he had no interest, but now, just one kiss, and he…

Li Lingyang was just about to carry her upstairs to the hotel, when suddenly a sharp pain shot through his lips.

Ning Yichu had bitten his lip fiercely!

A thick stench of blood lingered in the breath.

Li Lingyang grunted, released her, and glared fiercely at the woman full of thorns.

In the dim light, Ning Yichu’s lips were stained with bright red blood, seductive and enchanting.

Li Lingyang’s forehead veins throbbed as he wiped away the trace of blood at the corner of his mouth, then grabbed her like a little chick, stuffed her into his car, and with a press of the accelerator, he sped away into the distance.

…

“I’m sorry, the number you have dialed is currently unavailable. Please try again later.”

Ningning dialed Ning Yichu’s number for the nth time, only to be met by the mechanical voice of the operator.

The little girl, fuming, glanced at the living room clock once more.

It was already half-past nine at night.

Usually, at this time, she would be getting kisses and hugs from Mommy before going to bed.

But now, not only had Mommy not come home, but there hadn’t even been a single phone call…

Ningning called her godmother.

Oddly, the phone was not answered either.

Today, Mommy went to Beiji Group for an interview for the Chief Jade Sculptor position. Given Mommy’s skills, it should have been a sure thing. Could it be that she and godmother are doing something “not suitable for children” after a successful interview?

With her little mouth pursed, the little girl called her brother.

“Mommy hasn’t come home yet?”

“Uh-huh, I can’t get through to godmother either. Brother, I’m home alone, and I’m scared…”

“I’ll take a taxi home immediately. Make sure to lock all the doors and windows and turn on all the lights in the house. Don’t let anyone know you’re alone,” Chen Bao immediately assumed the role of the protective older brother, gently placating his sister.

Ningning wasn’t actually that scared, she just wasn’t used to being home alone. The company of her brother was naturally the best.

In less than half an hour, Chen Bao arrived at Junyue Mansion with a stern face.

“Did Mommy act unusually before she left today?”

Their dear Mommy had never failed to notify them before staying out all night; even when she had to travel far in the past, she would hire a nanny to take care of them.

Ningning blinked her large eyes, “Mommy went to look for a job, to apply for Chief Jade Sculptor at Beiji Group.”

Chen Bao pursed his delicate lips, pondered for a short moment, then whipped out his personal laptop and rapidly typed away, pulling up information about Beiji on the web.

A traditional luxury brand from Europe, which, in recent years, has expanded its operations into Asia with quite aggressive growth.

“There doesn’t seem to be anything suspicious about this group,” Chen Bao knitted his handsome brows in confusion.

Ningning puffed out her cheeks, pondering thoroughly before piping up, “I remember, I was half asleep when I heard godmother and Mommy talking. They said the little sister who visited that day seemed to be Trash Dad’s daughter, our half-sister from the same father! Mommy was worried she might reveal our secrets…”

Hearing this, the childish innocence on Chen Bao’s face vanished, replaced by an instant coldness!

He never expected that the half-sister they thought was kindred could turn out to be the daughter of the mistress!

That mistress had forced Mommy to live in exile for more than five years…

From this standpoint, they should naturally be enemies.

Feeling the shift in Chen Bao’s emotions, Ningning tugged at the hem of his shirt, speaking softly, “Brother, I think the little sister is a good person, she probably won’t betray us…”

“People’s faces are known, not their hearts, and besides, haven’t you heard the saying ‘like mother, like daughter’?”

He made up his mind, he had to warn Doudou not to expose their secrets!
