After I Became Famous, the CEO Wants Remarriage

The paparazzi waiting on site for coverage, and the guests invited to the press conference, were suddenly shocked and abuzz.

President Li and Miss Shen were known as a deeply in love couple, yet it was all a façade—President Li actually had an illegitimate child out there!

Li Lingyang thought this was a mischievous child causing trouble from who knows where, but when he saw the kid's tender face clearly, his heart skipped a beat in shock—the child looked so much like him!

He grabbed the child's tender arm, "Who is your Mommy?"

Chen Bao, unable to wiggle free with his small arms and legs, gave up struggling and just looked at him with big eyes, full of grievance and innocence.

"Daddy, I never imagined you would be so heartless. Although Mommy was just a humble maid, she was with you for many years and even bore me, your big son. But now that you have someone new, you cast us aside and never bothered to check on us."

"Now Mommy is seriously ill, and I can no longer afford to go to school. I might as well take my broken bowl and go begging under the overpass..."

The little one's eyes were brimming with tears, his accusation choking up, crying like a little kitten, immediately arousing the sympathy of the paparazzi.

Li Lingyang could clearly feel that the way people looked at him had changed, filled with scrutiny and disdain.

The hand gripping the child's arm tightened slightly as he picked up the little guy horizontally.

The sudden feeling of being lifted into the air stunned Chen Bao, who looked at him in horror.

"Didn't you say I'm your daddy? Since we haven't seen each other for so long, we should catch up properly," Li Lingyang said, sporting a thin, dangerous smile as he strode toward the room on the second floor.

"President Li, the new drug press conference is about to start..." Special Assistant Xu reminded him in surprise.

"Postpone it!" Li Lingyang didn't look back, his eyes colder than ever, as he ordered, "Clear out the venue. I don't want this incident leaked."

The bodyguards went around collecting everyone's cameras, but nobody noticed that in an inconspicuous corner, a little girl around four years old was sneakily hiding the phone she had finished taking photos with...

Ningning slung her little yellow duck backpack over her shoulder, wearing a cute child's face mask, and swaggered past the blockade.

"Uncle, Ningning needs to go to the restroom," she said, flashing a charming smile.

The bodyguard, busy collecting phones and maintaining order, let her through upon seeing she was just a harmless child, and warned her, "Hurry up and go. Things are a bit chaotic here, don't come back after you go."

Ningning blinked her big eyes, as beautiful as the crescent moon, "Thank you, uncle."

She paused at the restroom entrance.

Carefully recognizing the male and female signs.

"The one with a dress is for girls, so this is the place..."

She slipped into the women's restroom, which was conveniently empty.

She quickly sent the secretly captured video to Chen Bao's email.

At the same time, putting on her Bluetooth headset, intending to say a few words to Chen Bao, only to find that the network had been cut off just as the message was sent.

"Eh? Brother? Can you hear me?"

After talking to herself for a while with no response, her little hands on her small hips, she huffed, "It must be that nasty old man blocking the signal! Humph, let's see how brother will deal with him!"

Upstairs, in a room.

Li Lingyang sat with his legs elegantly crossed, his gaze fixed on Chen Bao, his languid fingers slightly curved, rhythmically tapping the tabletop.

"What's your name? Who made you come here to sabotage today's launch event?"

Chen Bao, under his gaze, thought that this trashy dad indeed had a strong aura, but he was no pushover.

"My Mommy taught me from a young age not to tell my name to strange men."

Li Lingyang's lips curved into a half-smiling expression, "Aren't I your daddy, though? Or have I become a stranger to you now?"

"Actually, my real dad has been dead for several years already. If you'd like to be him, next year I could burn an extra couple of incense sticks at his grave," Chen Bao said with pretended regret, his large eyes whirling with craftiness.

Li Lingyang narrowed his eyes, suddenly divining, "You don't have to say it; I already know. Your Mommy is Ning Yichu."

Chen Bao didn't let on, "Ning Yichu? Is she also a poor woman you abandoned?"

Li Lingyang raised an eyebrow; the child's responses were watertight, and he felt oddly at a loss.

Chen Bao showed Li Lingyang the video on his child's phone, which accused him of deserting his wife and child and not paying alimony.

"Today is the big day for your new drug launch. If it gets messed up, I don't think the Li Group shareholders will let you off."

Although Li Lingyang didn't care about the video, if it got out, the old man would undoubtedly come to nag.

"If you want me to delete the video and leave, it's simple—give me one billion, and I'll disappear immediately."

Li Lingyang stared at him for two seconds with a cold gaze, then suddenly chuckled, "Do you know a billion in cash could crush someone to death?"

"Alimony and hush money for just one billion seems like a bargain for you unless you want me to tell everyone you're a deadbeat."

Li Lingyang's voice lowered slightly, authoritative without rage, "Are you threatening me?"

Chen Bao snorted lightly, "I'll give you half an hour to think it over."

Li Lingyang found it unbelievable that a child could infiltrate the press conference and display such meticulous logic, but finding out who was behind him was key.

"Alright, I'll give you one billion!"

Chen Bao was not surprised; to his trash father, worth tens of billions, one billion was nothing.

Soon after, Chen Bao received a bank card from Li Lingyang with a billion in it, no PIN, withdrawable at any counter.

Chen Bao blew a kiss and disappeared with the card.

Li Lingyang watched his receding figure, his thin lips slightly curving up, instructing Xu, "That kid must have someone behind him. Send someone to follow him immediately, see where he eventually ends up."

He wanted to see who had grown tired of living, concocting a child to scheme against him.

Even as he thought this, Ning Yichu's face involuntarily flashed through his mind.

Five years ago, when she left, she was pregnant—and the child...

Could he be related to her?

But he remembered very clearly, he never touched her!

Half an hour later, Li Lingyang received a call from Xu.

"President Li, that kid is especially clever, had us running in circles seven or eight times, but luckily, we placed a tracker on him beforehand. It's showing he's entered the Guangpu Building, there seems to be some activity here today, it's very busy. I think he's probably meeting with the person behind this here."

The Guangpu Building wasn't far, just a couple of kilometers away. Li Lingyang glanced at the address, "Have someone keep watch, I'll be right there."

...

Inside the Guangpu Building, where the crowd surged.

Ning Yichu was holding a book signing event here today, but just before it started, she found that her two kids were missing!

What was going on, she went to use the restroom and the siblings vanished?

Five years ago, after her divorce, she chose to further her studies in Europe, and later gave birth to a pair of twins prematurely.
