Chapter 478 President Wen's Awkward Conversation, All for Her
"Yes, if it wasn't for you, who was it for?"
Ning Yao placed the kitten next to Wen Tingye's hand and encouraged him with her eyes to pet it.
Wen Tingye glanced at the kitten with disdain, refusing to reach out and take it, his mind filled with thoughts of the bacteria and insects hidden in the kitten's fur.
You know, these cats and dogs have the most bacteria on their bodies, they're all dirty, who would want to hold them for no reason?
Wen Tingye disliked it, but He Yu liked it very much.
These little kittens are so harmless and adorable, how could anyone not like them?
The kitten seemed to sense that it was being rejected, and it glanced timidly at Wen Tingye, its ears twitching slightly and its eyes wide open.
"Put it over there, I'll pick it up later." Wen Tingye struggled internally for a long time, but in the end he couldn't bring himself to pick it up. He just pointed to the sofa on the side, tolerating the thing staying in his office as much as possible.
Ning Yao gave Wen Tingye a strange look, but didn't say anything. She gave him the gift to make him happy, so she naturally settled the cat on the sofa as Wen Tingye had requested.
He Yu tactfully left, leaving the space to President Wen and Ms. Ning Yao.
"How can you rest in the office? Will you be able to rest well?" Ning Yao sat down on the sofa next to Wen Tingye and asked curiously.
“It’s the same everywhere, no one’s waiting for me to come home.” Wen Tingye’s deep voice made these words sound somewhat incongruous.
“How could no one be waiting for you to come home? You’ll have this kitten from now on.” Ning Yao said, and tried to hug the kitten to her side again.
She originally intended to give it to Wen Tingye, but the more she looked at it, the more she liked it. This little thing was just too cute, with its pink and tender little paws.
Wen Tingye remained silent, then stretched out his arm and pulled Ning Yao into his embrace. After holding her, he tightened his grip, firmly keeping the woman by his side and not allowing her to bring that thing over again.
To change the subject, Wen Tingye asked, "How is Achen?"
Regardless, his son was injured because of him. After treating Ning Chen, the hospital doctor immediately reported the situation to Wen Tingye. Wen Tingye knew that Ning Chen was fine and would recover once the medication wore off.
Even so, Wen Tingye thought that perhaps his concern should be more obvious, lest Ning Yao think that he was a cold-blooded and heartless jerk who treated his own son this way, let alone her.
Women are all prone to overthinking; that's what books say.
"He's fine. The doctor said there's nothing wrong. He just needs to rest for a while. But the recovery time is uncertain. Everyone reacts differently to that kind of medicine. It depends on individual constitution." Ning Yao let Wen Tingye hold her and spoke softly in the man's arms.
"That's good." Wen Tingye put his arm around Ning Yao's waist, his palms unconsciously becoming hot.
"Aishu and Baoying have reached the stage where their intelligence can be tested. A while ago, a childcare specialist contacted me and mentioned this. What do you think?"
This was the first time in Wen Tingye's life that he had awkwardly tried to start a conversation with someone. His eyes showed a little unease, but it was fleeting and didn't linger for long.
Wen Tingye was willing to put in a lot of effort to keep Ning Yao by his side a little longer and to keep her from getting bored.
"Intelligence test?" Ning Yao herself had never done such a thing, so she didn't know much about it and had no personal experience.
She didn't even have a nanny when she was a child, and the school she attended was nowhere near a prestigious private school.
"Did you take these tests when you were a child? What's the point of these tests? Are they just to see if a child is smart or a genius?"
"My score when I was a child was 150 points," Wen Tingye said, raising his eyebrows slightly, clearly very confident.
He is a genius; he was already identified as such when he was three years old.
With Wen Tingye's genes, his son and daughter will be outstanding, that's beyond doubt.
Ning Yao thought for a while, seemingly considering the necessity of this intelligence test. Wen Tingye didn't urge her and just held her like that.
The woman's body felt soft and boneless, making it very comfortable to hold. Ning Yao also carried a cool fragrance, faint and pleasant to smell.
"I don't think we need to do this kind of test anymore," Ning Yao concluded, and said to Wen Tingye with a serious face.
"If a test shows that someone is a genius, then the people around them will hold them to the standards of a genius, which will put a lot of pressure on them."
"If the test results show that they are ordinary people, or even have intellectual disabilities, others will look at them with disdain, thinking that they are Wen Tingye's children, and that they are not good enough, just ordinary people. It is just a so-called scientific method to define the children, which is meaningless."
Wen Tingye had only mentioned it casually to Ning Yao, but he didn't expect her to think about it seriously and even offer her own insight.
Whether it's educating children or other matters, Ning Yao has always been very opinionated and not easily swayed by the opinions of others.
This is a valuable quality, and it is one of the many virtues that Wen Tingye appreciates and likes about her.
"Then we won't take the test. I'll reply to the childcare worker later and ask them to cancel the intelligence questionnaire."
"Ah."
"Has the new movie been decided? I heard you say you had your eye on a script, what kind of role is it?" Wen Tingye started a new topic.
"It's not decided yet. I recently received several invitations and I'm still considering them. I'm not sure if I can make it to the meeting." Ning Yao recalled the letters she received at the teachers' apartment, a complex emotion flashing in her eyes.
"What kind of invitation?" Wen Tingye asked, intrigued.
In fact, he was interested in everything about Ning Yao, no matter how small. He listened patiently to anything related to Ning Yao and had a thirst for knowledge.
"The Formula One World Championship and the LUHM Young Designers Grand Prix fall in the middle and end of the year, respectively. I need to prepare for the competitions, so I probably won't have time to act. That movie will have to be put on hold for now."
Ning Yao still prefers to participate in these two competitions. Both of these competitions are rare international events where she will encounter many elites in the industry. Having opponents will give Ning Yao the passion and motivation to compete.
Winning all the time is meaningless. Ning Yao hopes to encounter opponents so that she can have a goal to continuously catch up and improve herself.
Especially since she heard that a very famous race car driver would also be participating, this was the reason why Ning Yao had to participate.
She knew about this person before, but he had never shown his face. After the competition, many people online compared her to that person, saying that her racing skills were not as good as his.
Ning Yao is a strong-willed person. How could she accept that her opponent was better than her even though they weren't participating in the competition?
Since the other party is participating in the competition this time, she can't miss it. Who knows, this person might just disappear again next time.
