Chapter 389 Gold Everywhere, Diamonds Studded on the Walls
on the way back.
Wen Tingye walked beside Ning Yao, his hawk-like eyes looking towards the passageway ahead, his large hands tightly holding the woman's small hand.
The actions were intimate, but his handsome face remained tense, like a black-faced god, radiating an aura that kept strangers at bay.
Several servants from the gatekeepers were so frightened by Wen Tingye's appearance that they didn't dare to utter a sound. They kept their shoulders hunched and heads down, greeted Ning Yao, and then hurriedly retreated.
Ning Yao found it strange; Wen Tingye seemed quite normal when she was talking to Si Longshen earlier.
Why did your attitude change so drastically as soon as you came out?
Ning Yao recalled that Wen Tingye had been busy in prison for quite some time. If it weren't for him, she might not have been able to save her father's loyal subordinates so efficiently.
Perhaps Wen Tingye was injured during the rescue and is now feeling unwell?
"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?" Ning Yao asked, her brows furrowed, her tone revealing a hint of worry.
“My father-in-law’s health is not good. Even with the best doctors and medical equipment, it would probably take at least a year or two to get him back to normal.” Wen Tingye’s words were not a reply to Ning Yao, but rather seemed to be a soliloquy.
His voice was low, his lips were pressed into a straight line without any curve, and his eyebrows were furrowed into a small mountain shape.
The words "bitter and resentful," "I am unhappy," and "What kind of human suffering is this?" are blatantly engraved on it.
"So what?" Ning Yao stopped and looked at Wen Tingye with a puzzled expression, not understanding what he was talking about.
Was Wen Tingye worried about her father's poor health?
Ning Yao felt a warmth in her heart, and her fingers unconsciously intertwined with Wen Tingye's, turning a simple hand-holding into an intimate ten-finger clasp.
"His health isn't up to par, and he might not be able to attend such a big occasion as the wedding for a while. It looks like our wedding will have to be postponed again."
The last sentence was spoken with particular resentment by Wen Tingye, his deep eyes filled with displeasure.
Ning Yao found it amusing, tugged at Wen Tingye's hand, and asked with interest, "When did I accept your proposal? I don't remember. What wedding date is this?"
"You already have a child, so what? If not me, who else would you choose?" Wen Tingye gave Ning Yao a chilling glance, his voice so deep it sent shivers down one's spine.
Ning Yao chuckled: "Children are children, and we are us. What era are we living in? Who still gets married because of pregnancy? How outdated!"
"You're right."
Wen Tingye acted out of character, no longer aggressive or domineering, no longer pressuring Ning Yao to marry him.
Ning Yao was speechless after Wen Tingye's words, and didn't know how to reply for a long time.
Even though Wen Tingye went along with her, she didn't feel happy at all.
The man beside her clearly noticed Ning Yao's slightly pouting lips, and a hint of a smile secretly welled up in his eyes.
Wen Tingye continued to pull Ning Yao forward, his thin lips pressed tightly together, not mentioning the matter of marriage at all.
Ning Yao hung her head, looking completely listless. Where Wen Tingye couldn't see, her eyes were filled with regret.
Why do you always deny Wen Tingye's abilities? You clearly like him a lot.
Guan Ying followed behind the two, and out of sheer boredom, she had begun to develop the habit of observing her boss and President Wen's relationship.
The physical interactions between the two, and the loving or conflicted glances they exchanged, all became sources of enjoyment for Guan Ying at work.
Protecting Ning Yao was too easy; President Wen and his subordinates had already done it for her, so she hardly needed to lift a finger.
Guan Ying never expected that one day she would find such an easy job, which was practically no different from being a kept woman.
Guan Ying has a strong learning ability. She has worked with many bosses in special professions and eventually learned the skills they possessed.
For example, there was an international fashion model who watched her boss walk the runway from the corner every day. Over time, her own walking posture started to resemble his and it took her a long time to correct it.
As the saying goes, you become influenced by what you see and hear; it's practically muscle memory, a subconscious behavior.
Now that Guan Ying is with Ning Yao, a red exclamation mark of vigilance unconsciously pops into her mind!
She felt that if she continued like this, she might become an expert on the ins and outs of romantic relationships.
Before leaving, Ning Yao went to see Si Si to ask for her opinion.
Whether to stay or leave, she respects her child's choice.
The child has grown up and turned eighteen, so Ning Yao no longer needs to make decisions for her. Si Si can do whatever she wants.
Si Si did not reply to Ning Yao immediately. She was also conflicted and had not yet made up her mind.
On the one hand, she wanted to stay with her mother and father, but on the other hand, she had an instinctive fear of the unknown living environment.
Ning Yao gave Si Si a tender hug. In order to wait for Si Si to make a decision, she and Wen Tingye postponed their return to China by two days.
Si Si was grateful in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face; that was just her reserved nature.
She often worried that she wouldn't be liked. Others might not care, but she did care about her family.
Wen Tingye didn't even stay in the same room as Ning Yao anymore. Before leaving, Wen Tingye waved his hand without turning his head, leaving only two words.
"avoid arousing suspicion."
Wen Tingye's deep, sensual voice echoed in the room. Ning Yao rolled her eyes and almost grabbed a chair and threw it at Wen Tingye's back!
Haha, what the hell is this about avoiding suspicion!
They just take advantage of you, wipe their ass, and leave?
Now he knows to avoid suspicion, where was he before?
Ning Yao's anger came and went quickly. Just as she said, her life wasn't just about Wen Tingye, nor was it just about love.
She also has a career!
Sure enough, during the few days she was away, after connecting to the internet, she found her phone was overflowing with WeChat messages.
The person who sent the most messages was naturally her agent and good friend, Cui Mengmeng.
Cui Mengmeng knew that Ning Yao might be going to inherit a fortune of hundreds of millions and that there was no hope of her returning. However, there were still many film companies in China that wanted to cooperate with Ning Yao. She couldn't make up her mind, and since she couldn't get through by phone, she could only send a message to inquire.
These producers were drawn not only to Ning Yao's good looks and decent acting skills, but also, and perhaps more importantly, to her family background.
Ning Yao is a member of the Si Men, such a mysterious organization with an unknown amount of wealth. Once you get to know someone like her, it will be a piece of cake for the production team to have funds when they are short of money in the future.
Cui Mengmeng: [These are all the producers who have recently contacted you to discuss film and television productions. I've compiled them, including brief script introductions. Please take a look as soon as possible.]
Cui Mengmeng: [[File][File][File]...]
Cui Mengmeng: [Why aren't you replying to my messages? Are you very busy at Simen? Sigh, if you have time, could you send me a photo or a short video? I've never seen what Simen looks like before. Is it a place overflowing with gold, with the walls of the houses inlaid with diamonds?]
Gold everywhere, diamond-encrusted walls?
Ning Yao burst out laughing when she saw these words.
What's going on in this little head of hers?
