Chapter 149: Chapter 149: Jerk’s Quotes, Does It Still Hurt…
“The kettle is out of water, I’ll go boil some hot water,” Shen Jiangqing said, looking for an excuse to get some fresh air.
Her hand had just touched the doorknob when Li Lingyang’s magnetic and chilly voice suddenly came out of nowhere, “Jiangqing, why do I remember your older brother is also 176cm tall?”
How Shen Jiangqing had walked out of the hospital room, she couldn’t remember at all. All she felt was that Shen Jun had completely messed everything up.
Was Li Lingyang inferring that he had found something out with that question?
But since he hadn’t pointed it out directly, it indicated there was still room for redemption. The priority was to make Shen Jun stick to his story at all costs, and not get her involved.
…
Li Lingyang didn’t wait for Shen Jiangqing to come back with water but left first, driving straight to Ning Yichu’s residence downstairs.
Looking at the apartment building, Li Lingyang fiddled with his phone, occasionally checking his messages.
At Junyue Mansion, Ning Yichu and Fan YuKe had just come back from grocery shopping downstairs and prepared a lavish dinner.
It was rare for the kids to be there, and that jerk Li Lingyang wasn’t hurrying to pick up the children…
They must be well-fed!
However, at this moment, the ringing of the phone was untimely.
Seeing the caller ID, Ning Yichu walked to the balcony to answer, “Hello, President Li… I was just about to talk to you. Tonight…”
“I’m downstairs at your place, send the kids down,” the man’s deep and sexy voice interrupted Ning Yichu before she could finish.
In an instant, Ning Yichu felt indignant. She had prepared so many delicious foods, all of which Chen Bao and Doudou loved. Frowning, she said, “Can you give me another half hour? I’ve just finished cooking…”
Snap.
The man hung up the phone.
With a busy tone beeping in her ear, Ning Yichu was dumbfounded. What was this jerk thinking?
Agree or not agree?
Forget it, never mind him.
Ning Yichu tossed her phone aside and went back to preparing dinner, making a trip to the restroom in between to change her sanitary pad.
But to her surprise, her period was almost non-existent, just a tiny bit.
Ning Yichu thought it might be due to the irregular periods since giving birth. Though puzzled, she didn’t think much of it. Just then, Fan YuKe called her. Hurriedly, she replaced the pad, opened the door, and came face-to-face with Li Lingyang standing at the door.
This time, he even carried a bag of fruit?
Ning Yichu was taken aback, “What are you doing here…”
“Here to have dinner, of course.” Seeing her unwelcoming demeanor, Li Lingyang’s face turned slightly steely. He then swaggered in, placed the fruits on the cabinet by the entrance, and effortlessly pulled out a pair of dark slippers from the shoe rack.
Ning Yichu and Fan YuKe were both shocked by this scene, feeling as if he was acting too naturally, like he was coming home.
Li Lingyang put on his slippers and casually placed his leather shoes into the cabinet. “The shoes are not bad, but the soles are too hard—I prefer something a bit softer.”
“Why do I have to listen to what you like to wear?” Ning Yichu crossed her arms and frowned, “Did I say you are welcome to come over for dinner?”
“My children are here, do you think I would let them eat food that hasn’t been checked by me?” Li Lingyang raised his eyebrows, his imposing aura palpable. His gaze swept over Ning Yichu’s attractive face, which had a healthy blush, it seemed that Shen Jun had merely used sleeping pills, thankfully not a stimulant…
“I didn’t cook your meal—if you’re just here to check whether my food is clean, I suggest you order some takeout from downstairs and watch us eat,” Ning Yichu said angrily, exhausted from the day and unwilling to argue further.
Li Lingyang stared at her intently, feeling a shift in his clouded mood as he scrutinized her. “Do women on their periods always have such a temper?”
“…” Ning Yichu felt suddenly choked, her voice swallowed back into her throat.
Yuke seemed to have caught onto something; his beautiful lips slightly parted as Ning Yichu’s face flushed even redder, glaring at him fiercely.
Li Lingyang continued to swagger into the living room.
Chen Bao and Doudou saw Li Lingyang and knew they would soon be taken away by their unreliable father, giving him unwelcoming looks.

Li Lingyang raised an eyebrow—when had his status at home dropped so low?
Ning Yichu had prepared six dishes and a soup, including items like chilled crucian carp, lettuce with fermented black beans, and corn ribs stewed with lotus root. The dishes were appetizing and fragrant.
The children scrambled to eat them, and no matter what, Li Lingyang couldn’t compete with them for food; all he ended up having was some plain rice.
After dinner, Ning Yichu went to the balcony to gather the children’s clothes, neatly folding them and placing them in a small bag to hand over to Li Lingyang. “These are the clothes Doudou and Chen Bao changed out of. Doudou is wearing Ningning’s clothes, though they are new so she can just wear them home.”
Li Lingyang glanced at the children in the living room, digesting their food, then suddenly pulled Ning Yichu out to the balcony, quickly closing and locking the balcony door.
The swift motion took less than two seconds, and Ning Yichu looked at him dumbfounded, only to hear him say, “You were drugged last night, why didn’t you tell me?”
Ning Yichu instantly thought of something. “Did Shen Jiangqing send you?”
Li Lingyang frowned, “What does she have to do with this?”
“If you’re here to plead for Shen Jun, you can take the children and leave now. I’m not interested at all!” Shen Jun was likely the one who kidnapped Ningning and Chen Bao, she would never let him escape justice!
“Ning Yichu, do you really think I can’t tell right from wrong in your eyes? If I wanted to let Shen Jun go, would I need to come here to plead with you?” Li Lingyang was infuriated, damn it! Just when he was softening a bit, she made him furious again.
With an incredulous expression, Ning Yichu finally said weirdly, “I understand what you mean now. Thanks for your concern; I’m fine.”
“Is that all you have to say to me?” Li Lingyang stared intently at her.
After a brief hesitation and meeting his gaze, Ning Yichu asked, “Say what?”
Li Lingyang’s dark eyes flickered with a dangerous glint. “Mo Baiyou took you away, and you two were alone together for so long. Did anything happen?”
A couple of seconds passed before Ning Yichu grasped his implication, and sudden anger surged within her. She clenched her fists and slammed them into his chest. “Li Lingyang, you bastard! What do you think Mo Baiyou and I are, do you think everyone is an animal like you?”
Her fists pelted his chest like raindrops, but Li Lingyang didn’t feel the pain; instead, a complex emotion welled up in his chest.
Watching her face flush with anger, beautiful as a blooming begonia, Li Lingyang’s eyes darkened and his Adam’s apple bobbed gently. Suddenly, he swooped her into his arms, his lips grazing her ear as he whispered, “Alright, I’m a bastard. I knew sedatives wouldn’t cure my symptoms, but I still had Chen Bao bring me to your place. Does it still hurt there?”
