Chapter 449 Missing his wife, that's all.
Back at school, Ning Yao had several tests to take, plus a makeup exam, keeping her busy for several days.
If it weren't for Mr. Bocuse arranging her meals properly, she probably wouldn't even have been able to eat.
After class that day, Ning Yao hurried back home, her steps so hurried that even Guan Ying had some trouble keeping up.
Ning Yao rarely changed into a loose black shirt, with matching pants, a black baseball cap, and long, dark hair—all in black.
Although the colors were simple, they were exceptionally elegant. Ning Yao's hair was swept back, and her face was fair and clean.
Ning Yao's legs are especially long, and they look neat and elegant in the black trousers. In addition, her temperament is naturally aloof, so she can pull off a wide range of styles, depending entirely on her hairstyle and clothing at the time.
"Yaoyao, wait for us!" Cui Mengmeng and Xin Yujue had been running behind for a long time, but their stamina was simply not enough to keep up with Ning Yao, so they had no choice but to call out.
Ning Yao then realized that she had almost lost her two roommates.
She lowered her eyes, turned around, stopped, and stood still, waiting for them. Only when the two of them walked up to Ning Yao did Ning Yao continue walking forward.
Many people on the street were staring at Ning Yao, both men and women, but girls seemed to be more interested in her.
In this era of "looks-obsessed" society, few people care about gender; as long as someone is good-looking enough, they are their dream lover.
Especially girls like Ning Yao, who are beautiful, have a versatile style, and exude a touch of coolness in their every move, are even more likable.
"What are you going to do later?" Cui Mengmeng asked breathlessly, looking helplessly at a certain beautiful woman with extraordinary stamina.
"What else can we do? The test isn't over yet, don't you guys need to study?" Ning Yao wished she could split herself in two.
Cui Mengmeng immediately glared at Ning Yao and said irritably, "Have you forgotten that we still have the Glory Peak competition to participate in? You've been so busy these past few days that we haven't seen you at all. We can't do without you. We all need to work together to build chemistry."
"I'll review the material for tomorrow's makeup exam in about an hour, and then I'll call you online."
"Let's go with you, so it won't interfere with your studies. Once you're better, we'll play games together in the living room."
"By the way, does President Wen have time today?" Xin Yujue thought for a moment and then asked again.
Since the goal is to cultivate teamwork, everyone needs to be present. President Wen is also a member of their team, so they can't afford to be missing anyone.
Moreover, the competition is next week. If they don't seize the time to practice, they might be eliminated in the first round of the preliminary round.
"I'll give him a call," Ning Yao said, taking out her phone.
Guan Ying spotted a man standing under a tree not far away.
Many female students passing by were all looking in that direction.
"Wow, so handsome! And so tall, he must be at least 187cm!"
"He's got a great physique, he must go to the gym often. These days, it's rare to see self-disciplined guys like him."
"He's wearing a suit, so he probably isn't from our school, right?"
"Now many senior students are also wearing suits. He looks quite young, but he seems familiar..."
"Is he Ning Yao's boyfriend, the first-year student, Mr. Wen... the CEO Wen!"
"Do you think President Wen is just bored and comes to our school all the time just to find his girlfriend?"
"For him, women are probably just for entertainment. It's more likely that women will take the initiative to approach him than he will take the initiative to approach women."
"I think Ning Yao is very beautiful. Look at her all in black today, she looks absolutely stunning. I wish I had her looks and figure..."
"Mr. Ning, there's no need to make the call."
Premier Wen has arrived.
Guan Ying didn't say the second half of her sentence; she simply raised her hand and pointed in a direction not far away.
Ning Yao's call had already gone through, and Wen Tingye answered it quickly, also noticing Ning Yao's figure at the same time.
The man held the phone in one hand and raised the other, waving it at Ning Yao with a wicked smile.
Ning Yao didn't know when it started, but she often saw Wen Tingye smile, and it was that kind of wicked and unrestrained smile that made her scalp tingle.
When this man smiles, it's never a good sign.
"Can you see me?" the man said in a deep voice on the other end of the phone.
"My eyesight is 5.0 in both eyes, what do you think?" Ning Yao replied with a forced smile.
The two of them, phone in hand, slowly moved closer to each other.
Those around him, seeing Wen Tingye's wide smile and the phone he was holding in one hand, were so captivated by his handsomeness that they almost had nosebleeds on the spot.
In addition, there was Ning Yao, dressed all in black, who was incredibly cool; it was almost impossible to take it all in.
"Did you bring any tissues? Give me one quickly, I feel like I'm about to burst." A girl suddenly felt a burning sensation in her nose and vaguely sensed something about to leak out. Startled, she quickly asked her classmates for help.
Ning Yao walked up to Wen Tingye first, put her phone away, and put it in her pocket.
"Why are you here?" She stared at Wen Tingye and noticed that he was wearing a black suit, and even the shirt underneath was black.
The two of them inexplicably felt like they were wearing matching outfits, but Ning Yao swore that she absolutely did not do it on purpose. She had not greeted Wen Tingye; it was purely a coincidence.
"The competition is just around the corner, so of course I'm here to practice with you guys." Wen Tingye raised an eyebrow and looked at Ning Yao in front of him, making no attempt to hide his scrutinizing gaze.
To be honest, this girl's all-black outfit is quite nice; she looks cool and aloof, a veritable ice queen.
"You look great in this outfit today." Wen Tingye stepped forward and took Ning Yao's hand very naturally, just like at the Wen family's old house.
Ning Yao glanced casually at her pants and said in a calm voice, "It's a new clothing endorsement that Mengmeng got for me. These are the new seasonal items sent by the endorsement company."
Ning Yao has always had several good brands she endorses. Apart from the skincare products she uses, which are Tianxian Water produced by her own company, she basically doesn't need to spend money to buy anything else.
"You've been so busy at school these past few days, with classes and tests. Aren't you tired?" Wen Tingye reached out and gently brushed Ning Yao's hair aside, his eyes filled with tenderness, as if he were afraid that Ning Yao might suffer even the slightest grievance.
"Yeah, I'm pretty tired. I've been falling asleep as soon as my head hits the bed these past few days, and I don't even have the energy to video chat with the kids." Ning Yao felt a pang of guilt when she talked about the children.
I had promised Ai Xiubaoying that I would spend more time with them.
There's also Achen, Ranran, and Duoduo, including Asi, who's far away in the Simen, and their father, the sect leader. They haven't had time to contact each other.
"Is all you can think about is the child? Don't you miss me at all?" Wen Tingye was dissatisfied with Ning Yao's answer, narrowing his eyes, his gaze revealing a hint of dangerous thorns.
Sensing that Wen Tingye's tone was off, Ning Yao, with a strong survival instinct, forced a smile and added, "I miss you too."
"Perfunctory." Wen Tingye certainly didn't believe Ning Yao's nonsense. They had known each other for so long, he could count the number of tricks Ning Yao had in her head with his eyes closed.
Her expression, her little gestures, every word and action were etched into Wen Tingye's mind.
No matter how busy he was with work, he still couldn't control his longing for her, and even openly spaced out during meetings.
A situation that hadn't occurred in over thirty years suddenly happened to him, leaving those working alongside President Wen stunned into turning to stone on the spot.
The sun must have risen in the west today, for Premier Wen actually managed to daydream during office hours?
He forgot what he said a second ago, and then turned to his assistant with a blank look, asking where they were...
Could it be that Wens Group has encountered some once-in-a-century trouble?
Is Wens Foodstuff Group going bankrupt?
Everyone held their breath, not daring to guess any further; the answer was something they couldn't even imagine.
Little did they know that their CEO, Mr. Wen, was simply missing his wife, nothing more.
