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

Chapter 598 Make more phone calls and send more messages

There is probably a misunderstanding here.

"Among my people, there are indeed those interested in this experimental report. Give me a few days; I need to investigate before I can give you an answer."

Huo Zhijing remained silent for a while before explaining.

Seeing that Huo Zhijing seemed genuinely unaware rather than pretending, Ning Yao's expression softened considerably, losing its sharpness.

"Then I'll wait for Mr. Huo's investigation results. Until then, I won't examine you. Judging from the symptoms, your illness isn't that serious. Waiting a day or two for treatment won't cause any problems."

Suspecting he was involved, she even refused to treat his illness? Ning Yao was very direct, without any beating around the bush.

Upon thinking about it, Huo Zhijing almost burst out laughing on the spot, but he managed to suppress his laughter and maintain his politeness and seriousness.

"Then I won't bother you any longer. I'll talk to you about this in a few days." After saying that, Huo Zhijing softly said goodnight.

Ning Yao nodded in acknowledgment, but did not reply to Huo Zhijing.

After hanging up the phone, Ning Yao returned to her son Wen Aixiu's side.

When Wen Aixiu saw his mother return, the corners of his lips turned up in a smile, and he immediately pushed his homework book in front of his mother.

“The meaning of a word in classical Chinese can vary in different contexts. You need to be flexible and not rigidly memorize all the meanings of a word. Instead, you need to understand it in the context of the sentence…” Ning Yao gently explained to her son the Chinese question he couldn’t answer.

Wen Aixiu listened very attentively, a hundred times more attentively than when the teacher was lecturing him, his little hands placed neatly on the table.

After explaining all the questions her son couldn't answer, an hour had passed. Ning Yao left Wen Aixiu's room and went to Wen Baoying's.

My daughter finished writing last night and collapsed into her soft bed, fast asleep.

Because Ning Yao stayed overnight, the childcare workers who were looking after the two children didn't come upstairs to disturb them, leaving Ning Yao and the children plenty of space.

After checking her daughter's homework, Ning Yao marked the problematic parts with a red pen, then placed sticky notes next to it with the correct answers and explanations. Finally, Ning Yao glanced at the little girl who was sleeping soundly on the bed, sprawled out and completely unguarded, smiled slightly, drew a few cute little pictures, and wrote a few words of encouragement.

After both children fell asleep, Ning Yao returned to her room. By then, her phone had been flashing on and off for a while, and the screen showed more than a dozen missed calls.

Without even looking, Ning Yao knew that the only person who could bombard her with phone calls like this was Wen Tingye.

Ning Yao glanced at the current time and calculated the time difference with Wen Tingye. She couldn't help but chuckle and tried calling him back. She would only call this one number, regardless of whether Wen Tingye answered or not.

She wasn't like Wen Tingye, who couldn't restrain himself when he missed someone. Everyone needs personal space, especially men.

To her surprise, the other party answered the phone quickly. At first, Ning Yao couldn't see what was on the screen clearly. The surroundings were shrouded in mist, and the lens seemed to be covered with water droplets, making it somewhat blurry and distorted.

"What are you doing?" Wen Tingye's unique, magnetic voice came from the other end of the phone, along with a face covered in water stains.

It was obvious that Wen Tingye was taking a shower, and he was doing so with his phone in his hand, completely unconcerned about showing up in front of Ning Yao.

Anyway, the camera could only see his face and a few bulging muscles on his chest; anything below that, you couldn't see anything else.

Ning Yao felt inexplicably thirsty and didn't know where to look.

If she had known Wen Tingye was taking a shower, she wouldn't have video-called him.

"Hmm?" When Ning Yao did not reply, Wen Tingye let out a low moan of dissatisfaction, with the last syllable rising in pitch, making it incredibly sexy.

The man raised his hand to brush away the damp bangs that were obscuring his eyes. His hawk-like eyes, gleaming with a sharp light, stared intently at Ning Yao. His direct and undisguised gaze seemed to see right through Ning Yao's body.

"Huh??" Ning Yao didn't understand what Wen Tingye said. Her nose twitched slightly, as if she was sniffing something. She was incredibly cute.

"I asked you what you were doing just now. Why didn't you answer my call for so long? Were you busy?" Wen Tingye still had white shower foam on his body, which was being rinsed under the water. His slightly tanned tanned abs were coated with a layer of water stains that looked like oil.

Ning Yao's dry mouth and throat reaction worsened, and she coughed twice to clear her throat in order to cover up the dryness and hoarseness of her voice.

"I was checking my child's homework just now," Ning Yao replied truthfully.

Even she herself didn't realize that she had obediently replied to this slightly assertive question-and-answer dialogue.

Ning Yao used to be extremely averse to these kinds of questions, even those that had an interrogative tone. She didn't like being checked up on; what she was doing was her own business, and no one else had the right to ask.

But from some point onwards, Wen Tingye seemed to become an exception for her. Not only would she not ask him, but she wouldn't even do anything about it…

"Just checking homework, nothing else?" Wen Tingye casually picked up a bath towel from the side, glanced down, and slowly covered the parts that needed to be covered, then tied the towel tightly around his waist.

"What else can we do?" Ning Yao felt a fleeting panic when Wen Tingye asked her this.

It wasn't that she was afraid of Wen Tingye finding out that she had spoken to Huo Zhijing on the phone; she just didn't want Wen Tingye to worry unnecessarily.

After all, a helicopter had been destroyed, and the cleanup was much more troublesome than she had imagined, especially keeping it a secret from Wen Tingye and her few incredibly clever children.

Now that the matter was over, Ning Yao felt there was no need to make the child and Wen Tingye worry unnecessarily; it was good that everyone was alright.

"Have you taken a shower?" Wen Tingye asked casually, while picking up a glass of ice water from the edge of the bathroom table. The square ice cubes floated in the clear water, occasionally making a crisp sound.

Ning Yao shook her head. She hadn't had a chance yet, but seeing that Wen Tingye had called her so many times, she just called back once.

"I haven't finished showering yet either, why don't we shower together?" Wen Tingye put down the ice water and said to Ning Yao on the other side of the camera with a half-smile.

"..." Ning Yao gave an awkward yet polite smile, but her mouth formed the shape of an old pervert.

Wen Tingye chuckled softly, and it was unclear what he was thinking about. After a while, his laughter became more and more unrestrained, and Ning Yao even saw his canine teeth.

Aside from his ID showing he was over thirty, there was nothing else about Wen Tingye's physical condition that suggested his age.

If not specifically reminded, people who see him would assume he's about the same age as Ning Yao, maybe around twenty-five or twenty-six at most.

"Don't find me annoying." Wen Tingye suddenly blurted out this sentence, which seemed a bit out of the blue.

Annoying? Why would she find Wen Tingye annoying?

At most, I just think this man is a bit two-faced. On the surface, he seems like a cold and unapproachable man, but who knew he was such a clingy... old witch?

Thinking of this, Ning Yao raised an eyebrow and looked at Wen Tingye, but before she could say anything, Wen Tingye drank the ice water in his glass in one gulp.

"This is the first time I've been so eager to maintain a close relationship with someone. It's like I can't feel at ease if I can't see you." As he spoke, Wen Tingye raised his hand and pointed to his heart.

Ning Yao felt a sudden pang of anxiety. Compared to Wen Tingye, she did seem to be less clingy.

Wen Tingye seems to have the personality of a Cancer. Could it be that, as the horoscope says, he lacks a sense of security and needs companionship?

Ning Yao suddenly realized that she might not be a good girlfriend. She always put Wen Tingye before everything else, which was unfair to him.

It seems I should call Wen Tingye more often and send him more messages...

Otherwise, this man might appear calm and collected on the surface, but he's probably quite anxious inside, right?
