After I Became Famous, the CEO Wants Remarriage
Chapter 208 - Chapter 208 Chapter 208 With Me Here We Cant Lose

Chapter 208: Chapter 208: With Me Here, We Can’t Lose… Chapter 208: Chapter 208: With Me Here, We Can’t Lose… Ning Yichu was momentarily dazed before she suddenly felt a large hand on her waist and then a feeling of the world spinning. When her senses returned, she found herself already in the arms of Li Lingyang.

She stared in astonishment, utterly bewildered by his actions.

This was a kindergarten, after all, and there were so many children watching.

However, the very next second, Li Lingyang spoke seriously, “Doudou, put the balloon in Aunt Ning’s arms; we can carry more at once this way.”

Doudou nodded hastily and did as told, finding that indeed, this method allowed them to place two or three more balloons into Ning Yichu’s arms than before.

“Hold on tight.”

As soon as Li Lingyang finished speaking, he strode forward quickly.

Ning Yichu was startled and immediately tensed up, bending her knees and hugging the balloons tightly against her.

The strong and vigorous beating of the man’s heart was right at her ear.

This move shocked all the children present, who all exclaimed with a “wow”.

Even Brother Chen Bao and Chengcheng nearby were taken aback.

Ning Yichu was dying of embarrassment, but this approach indeed greatly surpassed the speed of the other parents.

Li Lingyang noticed her discomfort and the smile in his eyes deepened. “Shy?”

“What do I have to be shy about?” Ning Yichu retorted firmly. “You better hurry up with the balloons. We wouldn’t want Ningning to win first place only for Doudou to lose.”

“With me here, we can’t lose.”

Li Lingyang’s mouth curved into a slight smile as he quickened his steps yet again.

After a few back and forth runs like this, the basket of balloons was quickly filling up.

Seeing this, other parents also began to follow their strategy, and indeed, their efficiency improved significantly.

Except it was a bit taxing on the husbands…

Many married men present were panting and exhausted after just two rounds.

Some even fell on the ground with their wives, causing both laughter and embarrassment among the crowd.

Only Li Lingyang was still swift and powerful in his movements.

Seeing this, Ning Yichu turned to the slightly sweaty man and asked casually, “Li Lingyang, can you still manage?”

If he were tired, she could get down and continue transporting the balloons using the original method…

But Li Lingyang’s expression turned downright dangerous. “Can’t I? Don’t you know?”

Ning Yichu instantly rolled her eyes. “Clear out the nonsensical thoughts in your head, Jiangqing. I’m seriously asking you.”

“I’m giving you a serious answer,” Li Lingyang tightened his grip, drawing her closer to himself, and with a smile that was not quite a smile, he said, “This amount of exercise is nothing compared to what we’ve done before.”

“…”

Ning Yichu felt her ears heat up inexplicably.

Despite inwardly griping, she had to admire Li Lingyang’s stamina.

In a short while, the time for the competition expired and the kindergarten teachers called for a stop to count the balloons in the baskets.

When Doudou was announced as the first-place winner, an excited smile bloomed across the little girl’s face.

The little girl pulled at Ning Yichu’s hand excitedly, and Ning Yichu’s heart softened as she bent down to tenderly hug the little girl. “We really won, Doudou is amazing!”

Doudou burrowed into her embrace, wishing time could stay like this forever.

Li Lingyang watched the scene with tender eyes, and he wasn’t sure if it was his imagination, but he felt Doudou didn’t resemble Shen Jiangqing at all and instead was more like Ning Yichu…

He then pushed the thought aside and went with Ning Yichu to collect the prize with Doudou.

But what none of them noticed–

Outside the kindergarten playground fence, someone cast a resentful glare at them.

Since her last confrontation with Li Lingyang, Shen Shen’s mother had been kicked out by her husband and now couldn’t even see her son!

She’d swallowed her pride all this time, looking for a chance to get even, and now the perfect opportunity had arrived!

Heh, you harlot, I’ll make you feel the pain of losing a daughter!

She pulled out her phone and dialed a lengthy number…

Afterward, her gaze fixed on Ningning.

It all started with the humiliation of calling that child a bastard.

What method should she use to lure her out?

…

The parent-child sports day didn’t end until the afternoon.

All the children were preparing to leave with their parents, and the scene was bustling.

Ningning was organizing her belongings when she realized the bracelet Ning Yichu had given her, which a classmate borrowed to wear during the sports day, hadn’t been returned yet.

“Uncle Li, Mommy, you guys clean up, I’ll go find my classmate,” she said.

Ning Yichu, who was cleaning up their waste, said without thinking, “Don’t run off, I’ll come with you.”

“No need.” Ningning waved her small hand. “Mommy, you and Brother Chen Bao wait here for me, I’ll be back soon.”

In the blink of an eye, the little girl scampered away, only to find that their spot was already empty.

A “kind-hearted” cleaning auntie informed her that her classmate had gone to the restroom…

…

“Brother Chen Bao, do you know which classmate Ningning went to find?” After Ning Yichu finished packing their things, she realized her daughter had not returned yet and couldn’t help furrowing her brow.

It had been half an hour…

Brother Chen Bao also sensed something unusual. “Mommy, I’ll go ask around.”

Soon after, Brother Chen Bao inquired among several children and finally learned that Ningning had indeed gone to the ladies’ restroom.

Brother Chen Bao couldn’t enter, so he called for Ning Yichu.

Although Ning Yichu found it very strange that Ningning would go looking for someone in the restroom, she still went in.

But the place was completely empty, not even a ghostly figure to be seen!

“Ningning? Ningning?”

Ning Yichu searched everywhere in the restroom and got no response when dialing the children’s phone watch, and she immediately realized something was amiss.

Ningning would never run off and worry them, could something have happened?

At that moment, Ning Yichu unintentionally noticed a set of discarded cleaning clothes in a corner…

Her chest tightened, as if she suddenly understood something, and she rushed out of the restroom.

Outside, Brother Chen Bao was also very anxious. Seeing her come out, he asked, “Mommy, did you find Ningning?”

“No, Ningning isn’t in there; I only found a suspicious set of cleaner’s clothes in the corner…” Ning Yichu held the cleaner’s outfit tightly in her hand, looking extremely distressed.

Brother Chen Bao’s expression also turned grim, “What? Could someone have snuck in and kidnapped Ningning?”

“I’m not sure yet, but Ningning is probably in trouble! Her phone won’t connect…”

Brother Chen Bao took out the children’s phone to try calling again, but, as expected, no one answered.

The two of them, unable to think of anything else, had to first seek the school authorities to inquire about the identity and situation of today’s on-site cleaning staff.

The school officials were thoroughly confused by the questions and promptly began an investigation.

To their surprise, the investigation revealed that the real cleaner had been stripped and knocked unconscious in the storage room.

Brother Chen Bao was irritated, “Damn it! I should have accompanied her earlier. Could it be that vile woman Shen Jiangqing? But wasn’t she locked up by that worthless Dad of hers…”
