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

Chapter 163 Giving her freedom, strange behavior

"I'm going to sleep. I'm not in the mood for jokes today." Ning Yao pretended to hang up the phone, even though she knew that if Wen Tingye didn't want to hang up, she wouldn't be able to stop no matter what.

"Good night." Wen Tingye noticed that Ning Yao was acting strangely, said good night, and then hung up the phone.

Ning Yao was surprised that Wen Tingye was so understanding today, letting her go without delay.

But this is good too; she has time to think about her own things and doesn't have to face Wen Tingye's handsome face anymore.

Of course, Ning Yao gritted her teeth when she heard the words "handsome and dashing."

Why did this man video call her every night at the same time? She couldn't refuse to answer. Ning Yao felt deeply that her phone was no longer hers, and none of her electronic devices were hers anymore.

Because whenever she disappears, Wen Tingye can always find a way to appear in front of her. The TV screen, the conference screen, and even the projector in the bedroom will automatically turn on and project Wen Tingye's irritating face.

The room was stuffy, and Ning Yao couldn't fall asleep, so she simply opened the window, jumped out, and landed lightly on the quiet grass in the courtyard.

The pale moonlight spilled onto the grass in the villa's courtyard. Ning Yao walked barefoot among the mud and grass, her face silent and her lips tightly pressed together.

It wasn't too late yet. Chen Ma had just finished her work and was passing by the courtyard when she glanced at it and happened to see Ning Yao.

Ning Yao has a habit of taking a barefoot walk around the courtyard whenever she encounters a difficult decision.

It's as if after walking around once, you'll get the answer to the multiple-choice question.

After watching for a while, Chen Ma turned around, slowed her pace, and quietly left the courtyard.

Chen Ma never disturbed Ning Yao when she was alone, because she knew that with Ning Yao's intelligence, she would definitely make the right decision.

The next day.

After dropping off her child, Ning Yao went to the company. As soon as she arrived at her office, she made a phone call to Chen Xuezong and asked him to come upstairs.

Chen Xuezong seemed to have expected this, and he arrived with the university admission notice, placing it directly on Ning Yao's table.

Ning Yao opened her mouth, watching Chen Xuezong's departing figure as he finished his business, unsure of what to say.

Chen Xuezong truly knows her inside and out; with just one phone call, the other party had already prepared a notification letter.

Ning Yao unfolded the admission notice from the Imperial City Film University in front of her, and touched the three characters "Luo Xiyao" with her fair fingertip.

A new life is about to begin. For her mother's sake and for her own, she wants to make a name for herself in the entertainment industry, so that her and her mother's names can be known and talked about by the world.

After confirming that she would be going to university to study acting, Ning Yao made arrangements for the company's affairs and instructed Chen Xuezong that if there was anything that needed her attention, he could just call her. She would take time out of her studies to resolve company issues.

Ning Yao was busy preparing the things she would need for going to school.

During this month, Ning Yao thoroughly explored the film academy.

This is her habit; she always prepares in advance for anything unfamiliar or that she is about to encounter, so that she can be sure that nothing goes wrong.

At first, Ning Yao would pick up and drop off Ai Xiu and Bao Ying to school, but later the two children would pester Ning Yao to pick them up and drop them off.

They couldn't bear to see Ning Yao running back and forth, working like a spinning top every day, her eyes getting dark circles from exhaustion.

Ning Yao couldn't refuse the child, so she had no choice but to nod in agreement.

She was very nervous; it was her first time entering a university, and she felt as if no amount of preparation was enough.

Perhaps it was because she carried her mother's hopes on her shoulders that Ning Yao felt the burden was exceptionally heavy, making her even more cautious.

The day before the report was due, Ning Yao felt as if she had forgotten something before going to bed, but she couldn't remember it.

It wasn't until she picked up her phone, which had been neglected for a long time, that the name Wen Tingye popped into her mind.

Why hasn't Wen Tingye shown up at all for more than half a month? This is too unreasonable for a clingy person like her, isn't it?

Could it be that he's been ambushed by the enemy again and something bad has happened to him?

Ning Yao, who was originally drowsy, frowned and sat up when she thought of this, instantly becoming awake.

Ning Yao picked up her phone, her fingertips hovering in the air for about ten seconds before finally pressing the call button to call Wen Tingye.

After the call was connected, no one answered for a long time, and then the call was abruptly disconnected, leaving a busy signal.

Did Wen Tingye hang up on her?

The fact that the person was able to hang up the phone means they're still alive, right?

Ning Yao tossed her phone aside with a cold expression and went back into bed.

I forced myself to close my eyes and rest, but my brain wouldn't listen, and I kept recalling the horrific scene of Wen Tingye being shot to death in my dream.

Wen Tingye's face was covered in blood, his lips trembled, and his eyes were fixed on her, as if trying to see through her.

Ning Yao took a deep breath and resignedly pulled her phone from the corner of her pillow.

This time, instead of calling Wen Tingye, she searched for news about Robert on international news websites.

Abroad, Wen Tingye uses the identity of Robert.

Such a large underground mercenary organization is bound to attract media attention if anything happens to it, and the media will inevitably write about it.

Ning Yao had gone through all the news on major and minor media websites over the past two weeks, but not a single chapter was about Wen Tingye.

Ning Yao was silent for a moment. She wouldn't be able to sleep today if she couldn't confirm Wen Tingye's whereabouts.

Ning Yao sat cross-legged on the bed, her brows furrowed. She called Lian Qiran and Bruce, but both times she couldn't reach Wen Tingye and didn't know what was going on.

"That damn jerk, how come he has so many enemies? He was quiet for a while, and now he's acting like he's asking for trouble again."

While cursing Wen Tingye, Ning Yao's heart was pounding and she was extremely worried.

She was filled with anxious and restless thoughts, which caused her to suffer from insomnia all night. When she woke up the next day, her eyes were swollen and dark circles were visible. The marks were very deep and could not be covered up even with makeup. The faint dark marks could still be seen.

Ning Yao came downstairs at five o'clock. The servants were just starting to get busy and were all surprised to see her.

Ning Yao rarely appears in the lobby at this time, especially since she looks unwell; it's unclear what's bothering her.

No one was afraid of her. Even when Ning Yao was unhappy, she never took her anger out on innocent people and was always gentle and mild-mannered.

Having worked in the domestic service industry for a long time, everyone knows that employers like Ning Yao are hard to come by, and everyone cherishes their jobs.

Ning Yao sat silently on the sofa, raising her hand to rub her temples.

She hadn't slept all night, so she wasn't in good spirits. Her temples were throbbing, making her extremely uncomfortable.
