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

Chapter 390 Father and Daughter Bid Farewell, Cousin Escorts Them

During the two days that Ning Yao was waiting for Si Si's reply, she spent almost all of her time reading the script that Cui Mengmeng had sent her.

Surprisingly, she actually found a show that interested her.

Ning Yao had just finished a phone call with Cui Mengmeng when Si Si arrived. She got up and led her to her sofa, then personally made Si Si a glass of juice and handed it to her daughter.

"Have you thought it through?" Ning Yao smiled at her daughter, trying her best to appear kind and approachable.

Si Si looked at the woman who hadn't changed at all since more than a decade ago, pursed her lips, and nodded with extreme caution.

Ning Yao didn't urge Si Si to speak; instead, she simply sat beside her, holding a glass of juice like her daughter, and leisurely took a sip.

"I... don't want to go back to China for the time being. I'd like to stay in Simen. Is that alright?" Si Si asked cautiously.

It took her a full five minutes to utter that short sentence.

Ning Yao pouted but didn't respond immediately. Seeing this, Si Si became so nervous that she gripped the glass of juice with her fingertips until her knuckles turned white.

With a soft "pfft," Ning Yao burst out laughing. Looking at Si Si's expression, she couldn't help but feel like teasing her.

She was probably really corrupted by Wen Tingye. If she had seen her daughter like this before, she wouldn't have been able to bear it.

But one night Wen Tingye told her that the more carefully you try to take care of someone, the more pressure that person will feel. The best way to heal is to be relaxed and comfortable with them.

Ning Yao agreed with Wen Tingye's words, just like Chen Xuezong, who had always been unconditionally kind and accommodating to her.

During that time, Ning Yao felt particularly pressured by Chen Xuezong, and even felt that she couldn't breathe properly when Chen Xuezong appeared, and felt guilty.

Si Si didn't understand what Ning Yao was laughing about. Wasn't Ning Yao unhappy to hear that she didn't want to return to the country with her?

His mind was distracted by Ning Yao's laughter, so he stopped being nervous and instead stared at his mother with innocent big eyes.

"It's okay. I think it's cute that you look so nervous and afraid I'll get angry." Ning Yao put down her juice glass, smiled, and ruffled her daughter's hair. It looked like she was doing a lot of work, but her fingers were actually very gentle.

"If you want to stay in Simen, then stay in Simen. Mom won't be angry, and your dad won't think anything of it either. You don't need to put too much pressure on yourself."

Si Si glanced at Ning Yao in surprise. She had thought Ning Yao would be disappointed, but Ning Yao seemed genuinely unconcerned.

“Of course, Mom wants you to come back to China with me. Mom is busy with work, and the Simen base is very far away. I can't see you often, and I miss you.” Ning Yao said, and seeing a trace of guilt in Si Si's eyes, she quickly added.

"But Mom hopes you can make your own choices. As long as you're happy and at ease, Mom will do anything."

“I am your mother, and I want my child to grow up happily without pressure or burden more than anyone else.”

"Mom will come to see you and your grandpa when she has time." After saying the last sentence, Ning Yao stepped forward and hugged Si Si.

Her daughter was very thin, even thinner than her. When Ning Yao held Si Si in her arms, she felt her frail body and felt a pang of heartache.

She made concessions and gave her daughter a choice, without complaining, but also feeling very reluctant.

Si Si felt Ning Yao's tolerance and affection, and raised her arm in response to Ning Yao.

Before leaving the Simen base, Ning Yao went to say goodbye to Si Longshen. The two had basically reached a consensus and there was nothing more to say, so they simply wished each other well.

After leaving Si Longshen's room, Ning Yao paused slightly. She thought for a moment and decided that she should also say goodbye to Si Ruonan and Si Yue.

After all, they're family, and he's her cousin; this is basic courtesy.

Since Si Ruonan and Si Yue's residence was some distance from the Si family's residence, Ning Yao decided not to go there in person and instead chose to make a phone call.

"Eldest cousin, fourth cousin, I'm leaving today. I'll definitely pay you a visit next time I come to Simen." Ning Yao said in a gentle and cool voice, but she also mentioned her worries.

"While I am away, I will trouble you to take good care of my father. If there is anything I need to do, please do not hesitate to ask."

Si Ruonan was surprised to receive Ning Yao's call. After hearing her voice, he softened his tone and replied with a smile, "We will take good care of the sect leader. You can go back with peace of mind. You can keep in touch with us whenever you want."

"Okay, thank you, Big Brother." Ning Yao replied, her voice losing its polite and aloof coolness and taking on a sweet tone.

They all have the blood of the Si family flowing in their veins to some extent, and in terms of blood ties, they resonate with each other.

Ning Yao was very gratified that she was able to find her father and have relatives other than her father in her lifetime.

"Let me know when you're coming next time. I have something I'd like you to bring over." Si Yue happened to be next to Si Ruonan, so he took Si Ruonan's phone, saving Ning Yao the trouble of making another call.

Si Ruonan glanced at her cousin with a cool look, her eyes silently reprimanding him.

"Um... is that alright?" Si Yue coughed lightly, quickly adjusting his tone.

"Sure, Fourth Cousin, just tell me what you want, and I'll bring it back to you as long as it's within my power and I can find it."

Ning Yao's voice was exceptionally gentle, flowing past one's ears in a very soothing way.

Si Yue's affection for Ning Yao grew rapidly. She was easygoing and approachable. He was so lucky to have such a cousin!

"We'll contact you again then." Si Yue chuckled and handed the phone back to Si Ruonan.

Si Ruonan took the phone and asked in a deep voice, "Do you need me to send someone to take you to the private airport?"

As if still not reassured, Si Ruonan added, "I'll send a few more skilled bodyguards to protect you the whole way."

"No need, Wen Tingye has a car, I can ride with him. There are also planes available, thank you, cousin."

"Okay, be careful on the road. Once you get back to China, send us a message to let us know you've arrived safely."

"No problem, I'll hang up now, eldest cousin, fourth cousin, bye-bye."

"Bye-Bye."

After hearing the responses from her two cousins, Ning Yao pressed her fingertip and hung up the phone.

Wen Tingye had already packed everything and didn't need to bring much, so the two of them traveled light, just like on a trip.

As Ning Yao walked out of the residential building at the Simen base, she felt as if a gaze was following her from behind.

Turning my head, I saw Si Longshen looking calm and gentle in the direction of the bedroom upstairs.

Si Longshen was surprised that Ning Yao would turn around and look at him. His eyes showed a slight shock, but he quickly regained his composure, smiled and waved his long, thin arm.

Si Longshen struggled to move, raising his hand was extremely slow, his muscles stiff and out of control.

For him, simple actions require much more effort to perform well.

However, Si Longshen doesn't blame fate at all. He can now find meaning in his life, and having a daughter is enough.

Seeing this, Ning Yao smiled, her eyes crinkling. She raised her arm and waved it vigorously, her eyes welling up with tears.

Seeing how reluctant his daughter was to part with him, Si Longshen felt a warmth in his heart, and his eyes reddened as a surge of emotion welled up.
