Second pregnancy, sixth child: The beloved mom's disguise has been exposed again.

Chapter 419 Too Obedient, Easily Fooled

After receiving the report from the hospital and confirming that everything was alright, Wen Tingye took Ning Yao back to school.

In the teachers' apartment, the two spent quite a while 'cuddling' in the bedroom.

Finally, Guan Ying saw Wen Tingye leisurely walk out of the bedroom, his lips curving into a wide smile.

Judging from Mr. Wen's appearance, he was clearly well-fed and in high spirits, so he probably got along well with Mr. Ning.

Guan Ying couldn't help but think of the things she had bought for Ning Yao, wondering if the two of them had used them or if they were suitable...

Ning Yao came out of the bedroom and slowly walked into the bathroom, her slender white hand quickly closing the door.

Seeing that Ning Yao was not in the room, Guan Ying unconsciously took small steps toward the bedroom, pretending to be nonchalant as she leaned against the door, but her eyes glanced at the trash can.

When Ning Yao came out of the bathroom, she happened to see Guan Ying sneaking around her bedroom.

She raised an eyebrow in confusion, crossed her arms, and asked in a cool voice, "What are you looking at?"

Guan Ying was startled by Ning Yao's unpredictable appearance and felt completely flustered.

Oh no, Boss Ning has discovered her little scheme!

"It's nothing, I just wanted to see... to see if there was anything in the room that I needed to tidy up." Guan Ying began to stutter, awkwardly swallowing, her barely visible Adam's apple bobbing slightly.

"Are you too idle?" Ning Yao's eyes flashed with a faint smile, her lips curved slightly, and she suddenly looked at Guan Ying.

Actually, Guan Ying is quite likable now; she's much more down-to-earth than her previous aloof and detached demeanor.

"It's alright." Guan Ying knew that Ning Yao had seen through her thoughts, so she left with just two words and quickly walked back to the sofa in the living room.

Before she could even sit down, Guan Ying remembered Ning Yao's injuries and unusually spoke up, saying, "If you need anything, just call me. The doctor said you shouldn't exert yourself too much and should avoid strenuous exercise to prevent aggravating your injuries."

Guan Ying's words were unintentional, but they struck a nerve with Ning Yao.

For example, when Ning Yao came out of the restroom, after Guan Ying looked up, she turned around again and fled back into the restroom to find a place to cool down her burning cheeks.

Guan Ying saw through it but didn't say anything. After a smile appeared on her lips, she lowered her head, picked up her phone, and started playing with it by herself.

Ning Yao glanced at the time; it was almost time to video chat with Si Si and Si Longshen. So she changed into loose-fitting pajamas and sat properly on the bed.

Just as I opened Si Longshen's contact information and was about to make a video call, the other party's notification arrived first.

Ning Yao quickly answered the call, adjusted the camera angle, and her eyes unconsciously filled with a smile, curving like crescent moons, bright and full of life.

"Father, A-Si." Ning Yao's voice was always cold and clear, but it became soft and sweet in front of her family, making it especially pleasant to hear.

When Si Longshen heard his daughter's voice and saw her face in the video, her still scarred face twitched. It was a genuine smile, but it looked like she was forcing it.

"I saw the entertainment news in Country Z. It said you were attacked during the movie promotion. The attacker even came on stage with a knife. Are you alright?" Si Longshen's voice was still trembling slightly, filled with lingering fear.

When he saw the news, he was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he got up with his cane to leave the Simen base.

Si Longshen did indeed immediately arrange a private plane to Z country, but he only managed to resist after being persuaded by several medical teams.

Given his current physical condition, it is really not suitable for him to move around, especially to take a long-distance trip by plane that will take seven or eight hours.

Si Si can leave, but Si Longshen is worried about his introverted granddaughter leaving the base alone and going to Country Z.

Ning Yao saw Si Longshen's nervousness in the video, and her heart warmed. She then honestly replied, "It's nothing. I'm good at fighting, and I reacted immediately. I also added a few more bodyguards around me, so nothing like this will happen again. Don't worry."

“Yes, Dad will send some people over in the next couple of days,” Si Longshen said.

A hint of helplessness flashed quickly in Ning Yao's eyes, so fast that it was almost imperceptible unless you looked closely.

Now it seems that she may have more than just two bodyguards around her.

"Thank you, Dad." Ning Yao didn't refuse and softly agreed, so that her father could recuperate in peace at the Simen base.

Although Si Si hadn't said a word, she stood beside Si Longshen, obediently staring at her mother on the screen, her eyes filled with longing and worry.

"How are you doing lately, Si? Have you missed your mother?" Ning Yao knew that her daughter was not good at expressing herself, so she took the initiative to talk to Si Si.

"Yes, I miss her." Si Si was too embarrassed to say that she missed her mother.

“A-Si originally wanted to return to China to find you, but I refused. I was worried about her going alone,” Si Longshen said softly, glancing at Si-Si.

Ning Yao saw the light in Si Si's eyes dim instantly in the video, and her heart ached.

She knew that although Si Si looked weak and had an introverted personality, she was actually very strong-willed and didn't like being overly protected.

“If A-Si wants to come, I’ll have someone go and pick her up. You don’t need to worry about these things. She’s a grown woman now, not that fragile.”

Upon hearing Ning Yao's words, Si Si straightened her shoulders and unconsciously raised the corners of her lips, clearly feeling that her thoughts had been hit.

Si Longshen was surprised by Ning Yao's words. Based on his experience of spending time with Si Si, he felt that the child was introverted and had a bad temper.

Any parent would be afraid to let their child go out and experience the world, always feeling that she is too obedient and easily deceived.

After hearing Ning Yao's words, it was as if a nerve in his mind had been cleared, and he suddenly felt a sense of clarity.

Ning Yao, who dotes on children so much, is more open-minded than him. On the matter of his granddaughter, he is far too domineering.

"You're right." Si Longshen looked at his granddaughter with affection, then said no more, leaving the time to Ning Yao and her daughter.

The mother and daughter chatted for a while through the video call, with Si Si saying a few more words.

The video call was almost over, and Si Longshen needed to receive treatment and get some rest, so both of them hung up the phone one after the other.

Guan Ying appeared at the bedroom door at just the right moment, raised her hand, and knocked on the door with her fingers.

The door wasn't closed; Guan Ying was simply following basic etiquette to avoid being stared at by Boss Ning with that ambiguous, half-smiling expression.

"Wait a few minutes," Ning Yao said, getting off the bed.

She casually picked up a cute pink headband from the vanity and put it on, then washed her face, cleansed her face, and gently applied a hydrating mask from her own luxury skincare brand while looking in the mirror.

Guan Ying noticed that Ning Yao's skin was already so good, yet she still insisted on skincare, and secretly raised an eyebrow.

A refined woman is so different from a rough woman like her; no wonder she has such good skin and a great figure...

"Alright, come on." Ning Yao sat on the sofa with a face mask on, crossed her legs, and instantly struck a ruthless, murderous pose.
