Chapter 20: Chapter 20 You Owe Me a Child!

    Ning Yichu hadn’t expected him to be so persistent, her heart skipped a beat.

    “What is this?”

    Li Lingyang suddenly spoke, his tone indiscernible between joy and anger.

    But inexplicably, Ning Yichu felt a chill.

    She even felt momentarily panicked, as if she had been caught doing something...

    Then she confidently shook the medicine box in her hand, “These characters are so big, can’t you see them?”

    ...

    “I’m asking you, what is this?” Li Lingyang emphasized his words, as if he insisted on her saying it out loud.

    Ning Yichu was speechless, “Levonorgestrel, also known as birth control pills.”

    Li Lingyang narrowed his cold eyes, slightly bent over, his handsome face gradually approaching her, “Why are you taking this?”

    Covered by his imposing presence, the warmth spread to her face, tingling her, and her breathing tightened slightly, “If I don’t take it, what if I get pregnant? Do you still want me to have your child?”

    “Why not?” Li Lingyang’s lips slightly downturned, displaying his displeasure, “When we got divorced, you owed me a child!”

    Ning Yichu was truly angry now, her beautiful eyes emitting strong ferocity.

    “What do you mean I owe you a child? Don’t joke about that here!”

    “Firstly, you always claimed our marriage was forced, and now that it’s ended peacefully, no one owes anyone anything. Secondly, even if I were pregnant with your child, I wouldn’t give birth, because that would make him a bastard! Do you know how painful it is to be a bastard?”

    Li Lingyang’s expression turned colder, “You seem to particularly sympathize with bastards, so just hand over that child, don’t let him be one.”

    Ning Yichu’s heart suddenly started pounding fiercely; had she been too agitated just now, causing him to become suspicious?

    “How many times do I have to tell you? I don’t know any child, and I haven’t extorted you! But you opened my eyes—aside from Shen Jiangqing, you actually have other children out there?”

    Her disdainful tone successfully plunged Li Lingyang into silence.@@@@

    Ning Yichu took the opportunity to pull her hand out of his palm.

    Always pinching her arm, damn it!

    The birth control pills had fallen to the ground earlier, and she reluctantly picked up two more.

    Just as she was about to take them, Li Lingyang suddenly extended his long arm, snatching away both the pill and the bottled water, leveraging his height to throw them into a roadside trash can.

    Logically, he should have ruled her out a long time ago!

    Returning to Junyue Mansion with breakfast,

    “Babies, I’m back, I brought breakfast for you...”

    “Shh.” As soon as Ning Yichu spoke, Chen Bao stepped out of the children’s bedroom, his young face slightly stern, and said, “Ningning has had breakfast and is now asleep.”

    Ning Yichu instinctively glanced towards the children’s bedroom and then realized, coming back so late must have prompted Chen Bao to order takeout.

    She instantly felt a bit embarrassed.

    Chen Bao sniffed slightly, detecting a faint smell of alcohol.

    And...

    Mommy had changed her clothes!

    The little guy immediately furrowed his pretty brows, his tone very serious.

    “Mommy, I have to talk to you about this, hangovers are a very bad habit. What if you encounter danger? Also, you and Auntie, you’re two young and beautiful women, those disgusting flies love to swarm around you.”

    Ning Yichu felt scrutinized under her son’s chilly gaze, as if stared down by a miniature Li Lingyang, her heart fluttering.

    “Cough, last night was an accident...”

    “How many dangers arise from accidents?” Chen Bao pouted, continuing his questioning.

    Ning Yichu was on the verge of tears; she was lecturing her son yesterday, and today he turned around and lectured her.

    Being a mother had never been this challenging for her.

    “Mommy knows she was wrong, I won’t be so impulsive again! Baby, how about I make your favorite dish, beef stew with potatoes, for lunch?”

    Chen Bao grunted, his round face adorably accepting her promise.

    Seeing this, Ning Yichu’s heart melted. She kissed his little face, then went back to the bedroom to change clothes.

    Meanwhile, she continued her call with Fan YuKe.

    Fan YuKe was also slow in returning.

    She lived just above Ning Yichu’s apartment, initially planning to buy two adjacent units on the same floor, which could be combined later for more space and privacy.

    But when they went to buy, the units on that floor were sold out, so they had to settle for one upstairs.

    Ning Yichu made a lavish spread for lunch.

    Fan YuKe, lured by the aroma, came down to scrounge for food, her delicate doll face sweating profusely, nostrils flaring, nowhere near the elegance of a female celebrity.
