Chapter 168: Chapter 168: The Top Contender for the Championship
The finals of the Heritage Competition were set in the Global Hotel.
Ning Yichu couldn’t go to the hospital for a check-up yesterday because of the nursing home’s matters, and today she was even busier with the award ceremony. Left with no choice, she could only book a check-up through a mini-program for the weekend.
Sitting in her office, she looked at the pregnancy test in her hand, filled with profound emotions.
She tested again at noon, and it still showed two lines.
If the pregnancy test wasn’t broken, then she must be really pregnant…

After the award ceremony was the auction, and the organizers would definitely prepare some pastries and snacks. To prevent herself from suddenly throwing up and exposing her condition like yesterday, she intentionally ate a bit more at noon…
Knock, knock.
As she was lost in thought, someone suddenly knocked on the office door.
Ning Yichu quickly shoved the pregnancy test into her handbag, “Come in.”
Mo Baiyou entered as he pushed open the door, just in time to see Ning Yichu’s hurried action. His dark eyes slightly widened in surprise but he did not show it.
When Ning Yichu saw the man’s distinct and handsome profile appear at the office entrance, dressed impeccably in a suit, tall and handsome, she asked, “Mr. Mo, is there something you need?”
Mo Baiyou spoke as if it were nothing, “For tonight’s award ceremony, the organizers have also sent me an invitation. I promised I would go and see. Looking at the current situation, the chances of you winning seem pretty high.”
Right now, Ning Yichu’s mind was occupied by the possibility of her pregnancy, and she forced a smile, “When I left, there were still many veteran designers doing carving. Let’s be modest, in case I don’t win an award, that would be embarrassing, wouldn’t it?”
“I believe in your ability.”
Mo Baiyou said, then keenly noticed her dispirited look, “You don’t look very well. Are you feeling unwell somewhere?”
Ning Yichu dared not let Mo Baiyou know what she was thinking, firstly because her pregnancy was uncertain, and secondly because her relationship with Mo Baiyou was very complex, so she said, “No, I’m just thinking about the group releasing a new model.”
Mo Baiyou’s gaze softened, as he spoke softly, “One thing at a time, let’s finish the competition first. It’s almost time, shall we go to the award ceremony together?”
The man’s deep black eyes stared at Ning Yichu, his pupils reflecting her image.
Ning Yichu’s breath paused and she looked away, “I’ve made arrangements with Ningning. You go ahead.”
Mo Baiyou had an expression of expectation, as he already knew. Since returning from the vacation villa, she deliberately kept her distance from him and never again were they alone in private, he sighed lightly, his lips slightly pursed before he turned and left the room.
Since Ning Yichu wasn’t leaving with him, there was no need for him to go so early…
Fifteen minutes later, Ning Yichu also shut down her computer and picked up her handbag to visit the nearest styling salon.
With simple makeup and a modest yet elegant dress, she looked poised and stylish.
“Mommy, brother and I are already at your location, have you finished getting ready?” A milky voice came through the phone, it was Ningning’s voice message.
A touch more of a mother’s doting affection surfaced on Ning Yichu’s face as she replied with a voice message, “Wait for me two more minutes.”
Outside the salon, Fan YuKe was waiting with the two babies. She barely slept last night, thinking about Ning Yichu attending the event tonight, she couldn’t help but follow.
She reminded the two adorable children, “Your mommy hasn’t been feeling well lately, you mustn’t make her angry or be naughty, understand?”
Ningning, wearing a cute princess dress, looked up with innocent concern, asking hurriedly, “Ah? Is mommy sick?”
“…Mm, not really sick, you’ll understand when you grow up.” Fan YuKe scratched her head, she couldn’t tell them that their mommy was pregnant again with that scoundrel’s child, could she?
“Then what’s wrong with mommy?” This time, it was Chen Bao who asked. He considered himself much more mature than Ningning and knew much more.
Fan Yuke’s baby face twisted into a small bundle, “I promised your mommy I wouldn’t speak carelessly, but I must protect her a bit, can’t let others bully her!”
“Keke, why are you here too?” At this time, Ning Yichu came down the stairs and spotted Fan Yuke by the side of the two babies at a glance.
Fan Yuke stared in astonishment at Ning Yichu, who had donned a black and gold V-neck gown today, accentuating her slim waist barely a handful wide.
Wow, she’s so beautiful, and those curves almost seemed ready to spill out of the neckline…
“I came because I was worried about you!” Fan Yuke’s eyes darted around as she jogged over, gazing at her with furrowed brows, “But aren’t you cold dressed like that? Maybe you should change into something thicker.”
Ning Yichu looked at her gown and said, speechless, “I’m not a porcelain doll that will fall over with a gust of wind.”
Fan Yuke squirmed, “But don’t you have a… special circumstance?”
“It’s fine, there’s heating inside. Let’s go, we don’t want to be late.” As they spoke, the group boarded Chen Bao’s car.
This had been specially arranged by Li Lingyang for Chen Bao. The little guy frequently ran to Ning Yichu’s house. As a driver-cum-bodyguard, he could protect the little guy up close.
Once in the car, Ning Yichu realized that the little one had been specially dressed for the occasion.
Ningning was as exquisite as a carved doll, but the key was Chen Bao, dapper in a little suit and shiny leather shoes, his hair… seemed to have a bit of wax in it?
Pouting, his serious demeanor was like seeing a mini Li Lingyang!
She couldn’t help but think of Li Lingyang’s words, “His genes have outshone Chen Bao’s mother.” If that pregnancy test hadn’t been mistaken, what if she gave birth to another Li Lingyang clone?
Before they knew it, the car arrived at the entrance of the Global Hotel, where the diligent bodyguards thoroughly checked each person’s invitation.
Luckily, Ning Yichu was a contestant, and it was understood that contestants could bring friends and family to the venue.
As the two stunningly gorgeous women entered the venue with two adorably plump kids, they undoubtedly stole the exclamations and appreciative glances of countless men.
Their fair skin and striking beauty were a radiant presence that stood out in the crowd.
“Mommy, your seat is over there!” Ningning pointed with her little chubby hand, crying out in her baby voice.
The hall had been rearranged with rows of long tables, adorned with nameplates for contestants and invited guests.
At a glance, the contestants’ nameplates were positioned behind those of the guests, arranged by their competition numbers. Ning Yichu was at number 18, which was the seventh row.
The friends and family areas were even further back, beyond the tenth row.
The reception staff led Ning Yichu and company to their exclusive seats, and Ning Yichu nodded slightly in thanks.
“She’s number 18, Ning Yichu. I heard she finished the carving in just over twenty hours, not counting time for meals and sleep. She’s definitely the hot favorite to win tonight.”
“That’s not necessarily the case, don’t forget about Miss Ji!”
“As if we haven’t seen those judges looking at Miss Ji so eagerly, I think she’s the real favorite to win!”
“…”
Along the way, the early-arriving contestants began to gossip.
At this point, behind the specialty glass windows on the second floor of the hotel, stood a tall man.
Li Lingyang held a glass of red wine, his deep blue suit highlighting his stern profile, his gaze fixed on the graceful figure entering the crowd and the little bun following by her side.
