Chapter 310 Child Education: Different Opinions
When Ning Yao woke up, it was already one o'clock in the afternoon.
During this time, Wen Tingye kept his arm around her and never left her side.
"Awake?" Wen Tingye looked down at the woman in his arms, his voice hoarse from not speaking for so long.
"How long have I been asleep? What time is it now? Oh no, I have to go to the film set to shoot a movie."
Ning Yao suddenly sprang up as if she had been electrocuted. Fortunately, Wen Tingye reacted quickly and placed his hand on her head in advance, preventing her from hitting her head when she suddenly stood up.
"How old are you? Still acting like a child, all loud and boisterous," Wen Tingye muttered in a low voice.
Ning Yao's ears turned red for a moment, then she leaned closer to the window and looked out, only to find that the van was already parked in the open space outside the film set.
"Why didn't you call me when we arrived?" Ning Yao was somewhat blaming Wen Tingye. Wasn't she just openly slacking off?
She has a lot of scenes to film today, and her absence will definitely affect the filming schedule.
"It's not too late to go now, let's eat first." Wen Tingye sent a message, and soon someone delivered food to the nanny van.
The person delivering the food was a member of the film crew, serving as the actors' personal life producer.
Why would the executive producer listen to Wen Tingye and be available whenever he calls? That's too strange.
Ning Yao had just woken up and was still a bit groggy, but after seeing the production manager, she belatedly realized what was happening.
It's likely that Wen Tingye already had people in the production crew, but they were hidden in the shadows, and Ning Yao was unaware of it.
"Please apologize to Director Lu for me. I overslept and delayed the filming." Ning Yao called out to the production manager as he turned to leave after delivering the lunchbox.
"Oh, it's alright. The crew filmed scenes with other supporting actors this morning."
"Oh, I see... Well, thank you for bringing us food, you've worked hard."
Ning Yao expressed her gratitude with a slight smile.
Upon hearing this, the production manager was flattered and his eyes widened instantly.
He'd seen plenty of actresses kept by wealthy young men, and they all looked down on everyone, never knowing how to talk to people politely.
Doing a good job is your duty; doing a bad job will at best result in a few scoldings, and at worst, you may be fired by the company and find it difficult to find a suitable job in the industry again.
It's rare to see someone as kind and gentle as Luo Xiyao...
The production manager's impression of Luo Xiyao immediately improved, and he secretly admired her character.
Inside the car, Wen Tingye opened the lunchbox for Ning Yao. His slender fingers casually twisted the box a few times before he quickly opened the lid, took out a pair of clean white ceramic chopsticks, and handed them to Ning Yao.
The next dish was his own, similar to Ning Yao's, except that it lacked one seasoning.
Wen Tingye doesn't really like sour foods. It's not that he can't eat them, but he just doesn't like them, so he rarely puts vinegar in his dishes.
This is exactly the opposite of Ning Yao, who likes sour food, especially sweet and sour pork ribs.
"These are all your favorite dishes. If there's anything else you'd like to eat, just let me know and I'll have someone buy it for you," Wen Tingye said.
"No need, this is fine." Ning Yao wasn't picky by nature, and besides, Wen Tingye had already arranged the best the production team could offer her.
Ning Yao had slept for a long time and was really hungry. She didn't stand on ceremony with Wen Tingye and started eating as soon as she picked up the lunchbox.
Ning Yao noticed that the dishes in Wen Tingye's lunchbox were different from hers; none of the sour ingredients were present.
For example, Ning Yao's lunchbox contained sweet and sour pork ribs, hot and sour shredded potatoes, and even two pieces of pickled cucumber to go with the rice.
Wen Tingye's lunchbox contained only salt and pepper chicken, stir-fried pork with green peppers, spinach in broth, and steamed egg, which are standard for a two-person meal.
"Why don't you like to be jealous? Have you never been jealous since you were little?" Ning Yao asked curiously.
"Sweet and sour things are what you girls like. Is it strange that I, a grown man, don't like these flavors?" Wen Tingye raised an eyebrow and looked at Ning Yao, as if she had asked a stupid question.
"What kind of logic is that? Do you think food preferences are divided into gender? That kind of thinking is wrong!"
"Wen Tingye, you didn't teach Ai Xiubaoying these fallacies, did you?"
After chewing on a piece of pork rib, Ning Yao mercilessly pointed out Wen Tingye's faults.
She even recalled when she first met Ai Xiu and Bao Ying, Ai Xiu had said that Wen Tingye had instilled in him the idea that boys must be strong, not cry, and bravely face things on their own.
"What do you mean by 'fallacies'?" Wen Tingye frowned and said in a deep voice, clearly dissatisfied with Ning Yao's wording.
"All boys should be strong and brave and shouldn't cry, and all girls should be sweet and cute, like to eat sweet and sour things, and like Barbie dolls..."
"What you're saying is all nonsense. You can't educate children like that. They'll develop fixed personalities, be confined by rules and regulations, and have no room to develop their individuality."
The more Ning Yao thought about it, the more serious the issue seemed, and she felt she should discuss it thoroughly with Wen Tingye.
Everyone is a first-time parent, so it's understandable that there are mistakes. We should listen to advice and correct them.
"You think you can talk to me like that just because I spoil you?"
"You should know that no one has ever dared to speak ill of me openly in front of me, Wen Tingye."
Wen Tingye raised an eyebrow. Although his tone was serious, there was a hint of a smile in his eyes. He knew that Ning Yao was not afraid of him, which was a good thing. Being timid and hesitant was not Ning Yao's usual style.
“It’s not a matter of daring or not daring. The child is a shared responsibility between you and me. Neither of us can shirk it, and you can’t be too dictatorial.”
"Oh? In your opinion, what would it mean for me to be 'not arbitrary'?" Wen Tingye became interested, his sharp, hawk-like eyes fixed on Ning Yao, waiting for her to continue.
"Well... let's start from now. You try to change yourself and eat a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs for me to see."
Ning Yao gently turned her head, raised her hand to brush away the stray hairs by her ear, and looked at Wen Tingye, a cunning smile appearing in her eyes.
She picked up her chopsticks, took a large piece of sweet and sour pork ribs, and mouthed the words of coaxing a child to eat.
"Open your mouth, ah—" Ning Yao brought the rib to Wen Tingye's lips.
When Wen Tingye saw Ning Yao's eyes filled with laughter, as if they were curved into a bright moon, his heart stirred instantly.
Instead of taking the ribs Ning Yao offered him, he grabbed her hand, turned the chopsticks around, and stuffed the rib meat into her mouth.
Ning Yao inexplicably took a bite of pork ribs and tried to speak while making muffled noises, but Wen Tingye took the opportunity to lean forward and press her down on the back seat of the car. The man's sexy thin lips suddenly captured her tempting lips, which were stained with some oil.
Ning Yao's eyes widened slightly as she stared at the handsome face that had suddenly grown larger in front of her, her mind completely blank.
Weren't we eating ribs? Why are you suddenly kissing me?
Wen Tingye kissed Ning Yao for a long time until he was satisfied, and then he released Ning Yao's swollen lips.
"The sweet and sour pork ribs I snatched from your mouth were juicy, fragrant, and tender; they really tasted good..."
"Wen Tingye, your mind is full of lewd nonsense!" Ning Yao was no longer an innocent girl; she understood the meaning behind Wen Tingye's words and immediately thought of some explicit images, her ears turning so red they were almost bleeding.
She pushed open the door, losing all appetite; at least, she didn't want to eat in front of Wen Tingye.
Guan Ying happened to be passing by when Tang Xiaoge bought some fruit, including cut jackfruit. She took a box of it, intending to give it to Ning Yao.
But just as she placed her hand on the car door, she heard a noise inside. Ning Yao happened to push open the door and bumped into her face. Her eyes were full of tears, her ears were red, and her soft lips were swollen and red. Anyone with eyes could tell what had happened.
When Ning Yao saw Guan Ying outside the car, and realizing that she looked rather disheveled, her eyes welled up with shy tears.
Guan Ying practically swore to the heavens that she had absolutely not come to eavesdrop on purpose; it was all just a coincidence!
"I...I was just discussing the flavors of the dishes with Wen Tingye, I didn't do anything, don't overthink it." Ning Yao's attempt to explain only made things worse.
After she finished speaking, she felt a little annoyed. Why did she bother explaining herself for no reason?
Guan Ying stood there stunned, unable to react for a long time.
What's there to explain between Ning Yao and her insignificant bodyguard? That's her private matter.
Besides, even if I explained it, would she believe me?
Guan Ying has always believed only what she sees with her own eyes.
Ning Yao's lips were swollen, and her ears were so red they were practically bleeding. Did she think she hadn't done anything wrong?!
