After I Became Famous, the CEO Wants Remarriage

Chapter 53: Chapter 53 Let’s Dance

Li Lingyang’s tone was extremely tender, “Do you want me to dance with her?”

Doudou nodded earnestly, like pounding garlic, nodding over and over.

“Doudou, Daddy can’t dance with her because this is a special arrangement Granny Li made for Lady Ning,” Shen Jiangqing’s heart skipped a beat, hurriedly intervening.

Doudou looked confused, adorably staring at Li Lingyang.

She thought Daddy was especially handsome and suited to dance with Auntie.

“Because Daddy has your mommy, and dancing with her would cause unnecessary trouble,” Li Lingyang’s deep gaze pierced through the air, sweeping over Ning Yichu as he coaxed his daughter.

Doudou tilted her head, still not understanding.

Ningning humphed and tugged on Doudou’s little arm, whispering into her ear.

Doudou listened and suddenly understood, no longer asking Li Lingyang to accompany Ning Yichu in the dance, even casting a somewhat disdainful glance his way.

Li Lingyang was very curious about what Ningning had actually said to Doudou.

However, Ningning just stuck out her tongue and ran off with Doudou.

Li Lingyang, “…” This kid, definitely cannot be mine!

Mu Bailang loved to watch the excitement and certainly wouldn’t mind making a fuss. Of course, Ning Yichu had also been brought by him, and now that Granny Li had upset the apple cart, he immediately offered a helping hand, inviting Ning Yichu to dance.

Ning Yichu couldn’t have asked for more; her grandma was too eager to introduce her to suitors, but those men weren’t really interested in making friends. They were after her grandma’s status.

Granny Li had originally wanted to set up Ning Yichu with a distinguished gentleman, but ended up waiting for Mu Bailang. It didn’t make Ning Yichu any more awkward; she cheerfully went along with it.

As the romantic music started, the two of them tapped their feet to the beat, lazily and perfectly.

Who knows what Mu Bailang said, but it made Ning Yichu laugh out loud several times, her face seeming to flush.

Li Lingyang darkly watched the two, his expression growing increasingly menacing.

Mu Bailang really had nothing better to do, why was he everywhere?

But seeing Ning Yichu laugh and talk with him, a strong sense of irritation exploded in his chest. How long had it been since he lost control over a woman? So long he could hardly remember.

He only felt that he wasn’t suited to dance with Ning Yichu, and even less did he want her dancing with other men!

“Aling, shall we dance too?” Shen Jiangqing suggested, seeing him staring at the dance floor.

She had dressed so beautifully, just waiting to dance the opening dance with Li Lingyang and stun everyone present.

But who would have thought that old hag would pull such a stunt…

Li Lingyang tugged at his tie, the words he instinctively wanted to refuse somehow didn’t come out. After a pause of silence, he entered the dance floor with Shen Jiangqing.

The large dance floor, originally dominated by Ning Yichu and Mu Bailang, and the photographers’ focus also on them.

Now that Li Lingyang and Shen Jiangqing had also taken the floor, suddenly there was a point of comparison.

Shen Jiangqing spared no effort to make this dance the best, striving for every posture to be one hundred percent perfect, while also pretentiously chatting and laughing with Li Lingyang, as if to show how loving they were.

Out of the corner of his eye, Li Lingyang glanced over to Ning Yichu and Mu Bailang.

With the music smooth and soothing, Mu Bailang wrapped his arm around Ning Yichu’s waist, whispering in her ear, “Xiao Chuchu, does it seem like Old Li is always staring over here?”

Ning Yichu, feeling the sharp gaze from Li Lingyang, wasn’t worried about him doing anything under the public eye, “He has their dance, we have ours.”

“I’ve always thought you and Old Li were quite a match. To divorce like that, did you ever hold any resentment?” Mu Bailang asked, his peach blossom eyes slightly squinting.

Ning Yichu didn’t want to bring up the past in front of him, forcing a smile, “Young Master Mu, if you keep getting distracted, I might accidentally step on your foot.”

Mu Bailang couldn’t help but laugh, “You’re really not cute at all.”

“I am cute, would I need to get a divorce then? Isn’t that obvious?”

“Hahaha, who said that. I think it’s Old Li who’s missing a pair of eyes to see the cuteness! Actually, let me tell you a secret, I don’t really like that woman Shen Jiangqing either, I always feel she…”

“Stop! Young Master Mu, don’t try to trap me with your words. Let’s just focus on dancing.” Ning Yichu interrupted him.

Mu Bailang chuckled and shook his head.

As the music reached its climax, he took Ning Yichu for a twirl.

Li Lingyang happened to twirl Shen Jiangqing at the same time.

The four of them lined up in a straight row, with the gazes of the two women crossing and reflecting different emotions.

It seemed that Ning Yichu should have completed the turn and returned to Mu Bailang’s embrace, but out of the blue, Mu Bailang suddenly pushed her from behind. She stumbled forward, and when she came to her senses, she had fallen into the broad, warm embrace of a man.

She looked up to meet the handsome and cool features of the man.

Ning Yichu’s mind went blank as she reflexively struggled to get up from his chest.

Damn it, Mu Bailang, you backstabber!

She quickly said, “I’m sorry, Mu Bailang pushed me, I didn’t do it on purpose…”

Li Lingyang didn’t let her go, instead, he precisely caught hold of her waist and smoothly spun her around, whispering next to her ear, “With so many eyes on us, let’s finish this dance first.”

His thoughts were, at least Mu Bailang had the sense to do this.

“Shouldn’t we avoid this… to prevent any misunderstanding?”

Ning Yichu stiffened up, while whispers from the crowd made her cheeks inadvertently turn a deeper red, more embarrassed than when Granny Li had pushed her out earlier.

“If you just walk away now, it’ll look more like you’re hiding something,” Li Lingyang continued to whisper in her ear.

His breath was delicate and hitting her lightly, causing Ning Yichu’s heart to panic, and she turned her face away, trying to comfort herself. It’s just a dance; what’s the big deal?

At most, it’s just the setting that’s different, with more onlookers than usual!

If Li Lingyang isn’t avoiding the situation, then why should she worry?

She immediately prepared herself mentally and, following the rhythm of the music, found her beat once more.

As they rotated, her skirt fluttered, mingling with Li Lingyang’s black suit, creating an unconventional beauty.

The song ended, and Ning Yichu looked at the handsome face so close to hers, her heartbeat suddenly skipping a beat.

Li Lingyang held her tightly, listening to the applause from the guests around them. His eyes moved from her cheek to her crimson lips, and for a moment, he felt the impulse to kiss her deeply!

In her haste, Ning Yichu pushed him away and pretended to fix her skirt, her tone both official and polite, “The atmosphere was really nice just now, we both got too absorbed in the dance. President Li, your dancing is excellent; I’m impressed.”

Suddenly missing the warmth in his arms, Li Lingyang came back to his senses and said with intense focus, “You danced well too, much better than seven years ago.”

Back when they first got married seven years ago, they had also danced together in public to dispel people’s suspicions.

But at that time, Ning Yichu was not comfortable with being the center of attention, and due to her nervousness, she often made mistakes and stepped on his feet continuously.

After the dance, he almost threw her into the couch in a fit of angry embarrassment, saying dancing with her was torture, and his tone was as disgusted as it could be!

Ning Yichu’s mouth curled into a slight smile, maintaining a hypocritical grin, “These past five years, I’ve actually been living quite freely in Europe, and I often thought to myself that when we meet again, I must dazzle you. I wanted to show you that I could still live well without you.”

Li Lingyang’s voice overflowed with a deep chuckle, “Then congratulations, you’ve succeeded. I have indeed been attracted to you recently.”
