After I Became Famous, the CEO Wants Remarriage
Chapter 217 - Chapter 217 Chapter 217 When I Was Young Shen Jiangqing Once

Chapter 217: Chapter 217: When I Was Young, Shen Jiangqing Once Saved Me… Chapter 217: Chapter 217: When I Was Young, Shen Jiangqing Once Saved Me… Ning Yichu’s complexion changed again and again, but of course, she could not admit it, “What a joke, what jealousy could I possibly have, ridiculous!”

After saying that, she took Chen Bao and Ningning by the hand and started to walk outside.

Li Lingyang frowned and followed them, blocking the path of the one adult and two children.

“Hey, President Li, have you had enough? Please move aside; I’m taking the kids home!”

“Chen Bao, take Ningning to the side and wait for a bit. I have something to say to your Aunt Ning,” Li Lingyang spoke to the two little ones, for what he was about to say was not suitable for children.

Chen Bao has always been one to oppose the worthless father, but this time, seeing his serious demeanor, Chen Bao thought deeply for a moment and, surprisingly, didn’t refuse.

“Aunt Ning, we’ll be right over there. If the worthless dad bullies you, remember to call us!”

After saying that, Chen Bao walked away with Ningning.

The originally noisy environment seemed to suddenly become quiet, and Ning Yichu looked up at him, “What else do you want to say?”

Li Lingyang forcefully grabbed her wrist, making her look into his eyes and said, “Ning Yichu, I know you don’t really trust me, but I still hope to explain myself clearly, I… I have never laid a hand on Shen Jiangqing!”

He had said this before, but indeed, Ning Yichu didn’t believe it.

Doudou and Chengcheng, they couldn’t have been born through asexual reproduction, could they?

“Doudou and Chengcheng were conceived through artificial insemination!” Li Lingyang knew her doubts, took a deep breath, and decided to lay it all out.

“What?!” Ning Yichu’s calm composure cracked slightly upon hearing those words.

“These matters, I wasn’t planning on keeping them from you.” It was just that he hadn’t found the right opportunity to tell her.

“Back then, Shen Jiangqing went to the hospital where the Li Family stored sperm, stole my sperm, and privately went through with the procedure. By the time I found out, everything was already set in stone…”

For families of their status, there was a significant emphasis on progeny and lineage; to prevent any accidents, they would always freeze a batch of sperm in advance.

Unexpectedly, this gave Shen Jiangqing the opportunity.

Ning Yichu’s expression was unreadable; she would never have imagined the children came about in such a manner!

But then thinking about Shen Jiangqing’s character, such actions didn’t seem unreasonable…

“If it weren’t for her pregnancy, I wouldn’t have divorced you.”

Ning Yichu felt a subtle upheaval in her heart as she remembered those unbearable past events, “What about her pregnancy this time?”

Could it be, stolen again?

Li Lingyang’s face visibly darkened at a rapid pace as he said through clenched teeth, “This time, her child is not mine!”

Aside from Ning Yichu, he had no reaction to any other woman!

“Actually, more than a month ago at the hotel that night, I drank too much, ended up accidentally with you… after which when I woke up, you were gone, but she was in the bathroom. At that moment, I truly thought there was a mistake in my memory, thankfully later I found out you did indeed go to the hotel.”

Ning Yichu listened and became even more shocked.

“Why don’t you say that, after I left, you did it again with her?”

“Ning Yichu!” Li Lingyang’s voice nearly burst through his gritted teeth, “Whether I have touched her or not, wouldn’t I have felt it?”

Ning Yichu snorted coldly, thinking it was indeed possible; after all, that night when she conceived Chen Bao and Ningning, he hadn’t felt a thing.

“The child in Shen Jiangqing’s belly is one hundred percent not mine!”

Even though I had known for a long time that Shen Jiangqing was having an affair, looking at him now, I just couldn’t bring myself to say that I had caught Shen Jiangqing cheating.

“But…” Ning Yichu looked at him in surprise, “when did you become so tolerant? You can even endure something like this? And your mother seems quite happy about it. What if your hopes are dashed in the future and you can’t handle it?”

Typically, any man would have rushed home to settle the score by now.

And yet, Li Lingyang still had the mood to talk about this with her…

“Do you know what’s called spinning a cocoon around oneself?” Li Lingyang’s lips curved slightly, “The higher she climbs today, the worse she’ll fall in the future.”

Ning Yichu, “…” Why wasn’t he complaining now about her being the mother of his two kids and that there should be some dignity left for her?

As if he had a sixth sense, Li Lingyang guessed her thoughts, and his gaze became complicated.

“Actually, I never thought Shen Jiangqing would turn out this way. When we were kids and she saved me, she wasn’t like this…”

“Shen Jiangqing saved you?” Ning Yichu had never heard Li Lingyang speak of his past with Shen Jiangqing before; hearing this, a spark of curiosity was lit.

Li Lingyang nodded slightly, “Back then, the Li Family offended someone in business, and the other party sought revenge by staging a car accident on the road. The vehicle I was in crashed through the highway guardrail and tumbled down the cliff. The driver died on the spot, and I was seriously injured and even went blind accidentally. Fearing that the other party might still send someone to kill me, I didn’t dare show my face. It was Shen Jiangqing who saved me and took me to a small wooden house by the river, taking care of my daily needs…”

One rainy night, when he developed a high fever, Shen Jiangqing risked her safety and bravely ran through the torrential rain to a hospital several kilometers away to get fever-reducing medicine for him!

It was also because of this life-saving grace that he had indulged her time and again…

A car accident, a fall from a cliff, and blindness?

Listening to this, Ning Yichu’s heart sank; why did this story sound so familiar?

It seemed like she too had once saved a big brother who fell off a mountain cliff when she was a child…

But then her mother’s mental illness relapsed, and before she could say goodbye to the big brother, she had to leave first.

“Li Lingyang, did you ever go to Taoli Town back then?” This was precisely the place where she had saved that little boy.

Li Lingyang’s brow furrowed slightly, his tone firm, “No!”

Ning Yichu uttered a low “oh” to herself, thinking it really was just her imagination–how could there be such coincidences in the world?

Just then, Ningning’s crisp voice carried over to them–

“Trashy uncle, Mommy, are you done talking? I’m hungry…”

“Sorry, baby, Mommy is going to go home and cook for you now~” Ning Yichu snapped back to reality, her eyes curving with a smile as she reached forward to take her and Chen Bao’s hands, casually bidding farewell to Li Lingyang before leaving.

…

Days went by, and in the blink of an eye, the day of the Beiji Group’s celebration banquet arrived.

Calling it a celebration banquet, it was actually more of a disguised business gathering, set in a seven-star hotel in the Imperial City, a typical European banquet hall with superbly luxurious decor that was brilliancy and magnificence personified, fitting even for a royal palace.

The room was filled with the prominent of the Imperial City’s high society, casually chatting at this moment.

Even Shen Jiangqing had appeared at the event, trailing behind Su Huimiao…

Su Huimiao was afraid that Shen Jiangqing would be bored staying at Yudu Dragon Bay alone, so she brought her along to the gathering to pass the time.

Of course, she deflected all the wine offered to her!

Shen Jiangqing was dressed in a loose formal gown with flat shoes; all she needed to do was chat with the various noble ladies.

Ning Yichu was the protagonist today, and her outfit was naturally much more formal than usual, donning a white, sexy backless fishtail dress with five-centimeter high heels, her long hair like seaweed draped to the side, with eyeliner at the corners of her eyes making her all the more enchanting.
