Chapter 274 Vastly different styles and auras
Before the ship even reached the country's borders, Wen Tingye got off the speedboat halfway through the journey.
There were only a few dozen people on the white speedboat, which looked extremely small in the vast ocean compared to the huge cruise ship.
Ning Yao was worried about Wen Tingye, so she watched him leave the boat and get into the speedboat, and then watched the speedboat leave and gradually disappear on the horizon.
"This is the software he prepared for you. It allows you to see his schedule and know where he went." Ning Chen handed over a small plugin.
Ning Yao stared at the USB flash drive made of cufflinks, a fleeting moment of moisture passing through her eyes.
How could his whereabouts be monitored?
How dangerous would it be for Wen Tingye if he were accidentally monitored by the enemy?
He must have known the stakes involved, but he did it anyway, just to put her at ease.
Ning Yao took the USB drive, rubbed it between her fingertips a few times, and the cufflinks reflected a metallic luster in the sunlight.
The software inside was coded by Wen Tingye himself and made for her.
Ning Chen watched Ning Yao's actions from the side and said in a low voice, "Let me install the software for you. The installation process is a bit troublesome. This software has hundreds of encryption locks."
Ning Yao didn't give the cufflinks to Ning Chen; she frowned slightly, seemingly hesitant.
Ning Chen didn't urge her. He just stood aside and silently held up a parasol to shield Ning Yao from the sun so that she wouldn't get dizzy from the sun.
"No need to pretend anymore." Ning Yao made her decision, suddenly raised her arm, and with a little force threw the cufflinks in her hand into the sea.
The cufflink splashed into the sea, creating a wave before quickly sinking and disappearing without a trace.
Ning Yao showed no surprise at Ning Yao's actions and calmly turned around and went back into the cabin.
Imperial City, Western Sea Port.
Cui Mengmeng and Xin Yujue had already received news of Ning Yao's return to China, so they skipped class together to pick her up.
When the cruise ship docked, Ning Chen and Ning Moran were the first to disembark. These two had already posted photos of themselves with Ning Yao on their Weibo accounts, so Cui Mengmeng and Xin Yujue were not surprised and simply greeted each other familiarly.
It wasn't until Ning Yao disembarked that a slight crack appeared on their otherwise calm faces.
Ning Yao was wearing a white silk dress with an apricot-colored long coat on top, and a gentle smile on her face.
Beside her were two children, around five or six years old, the boy being a little shorter than the girl.
The girl called out "Mommy" loudly, and the girl, who was losing her baby teeth, showed a sweet smile, looking just like a playful and cute little princess.
Unlike Xin Yujue, Cui Mengmeng didn't have much patience. She immediately nudged Xin Yujue's shoulder and asked in a low voice, "Did I hear that right? Those two kids called Yao Yao 'Mommy'?"
“You weren’t hallucinating. I heard it too, I heard it clearly.” Xin Yujue maintained her smile, but lowered her voice.
"Does Yao Yao have a penchant for adopting children...? Does she run an orphanage?"
Luo Xiyao sponsors the children in those orphanages to go to school, and the children in those orphanages naturally start calling her "Mommy".
This would explain why Ning Yao has a son as old as Ning Moran, wouldn't it?
Cui Mengmeng felt that her deduction was perfectly reasonable and well-founded.
"Hello, aunties! Are you my mommy's friends?" Wen Aixiu walked up to the two women and called out mischievously.
"Hehehe... Hello little friend, hello, we are Yao Yao's college roommates."
Cui Mengmeng and Xin Yujue instantly felt like they had taken a huge hit, and responded to Wen Aixiu with dry laughter.
Because Wen Aixiu is Luo Xiyao's child, their generational ranking has increased.
Otherwise, shouldn't we call them "older sisters"?
Cui Mengmeng and Xin Yujue are of the same generation as Luo Xiyao, so Ai Xiubao really can only call them "Auntie"; any other form of address would be inappropriate.
"Roommates? I heard that roommate relationships among you girls aren't very harmonious. You didn't bully my mommy, did you?" Wen Aixiu suddenly frowned and questioned her without any politeness.
Although he was not tall, his arrogant and domineering tone was unmistakable and quite convincing, which actually intimidated the two female college students.
"Wen Aixiu, stop talking nonsense!" Ning Yao pulled her son over and sternly ordered.
“I’m not talking nonsense, I’m just worried about your situation at school.” Wen Aixiu wasn’t afraid of Ning Yao at all, and instead retorted.
Ning Yao pretended to give Wen Aixiu a hard flick on the forehead, but the person in question dodged it by pursing his lips.
"Mommy, you've changed! You're actually going to beat your own son for the sake of two strangers!" Wen Aixiu was extremely aggrieved.
"You brat, you've been getting more and more outrageous lately. I'll teach you a lesson when I get back!" Ning Yao frowned and scolded, but she didn't actually hit Wen Aixiu.
"Why did you two come here? Don't you have classes today?" Ning Yao said to her two roommates, a little embarrassed.
"Yeah, we skipped class to pick you up." Cui Mengmeng chuckled foolishly, having already forgotten the hurt her aunt had caused her.
It takes two hours to get from the school to Xihai Port by bus or subway if you don't drive, so it takes four hours round trip.
Ning Yao was deeply moved, never expecting that her friend would go to such lengths to pick her up.
Wen Tingye arranged for a car to wait at the port, and Ning Yao and her group got into the car.
The shiny black luxury van was large enough to fit almost all of them without needing to switch to another vehicle.
After everyone boarded the bus, Ning Yao sat next to Ai Xiu and Bao Ying, opposite Cui Mengmeng and Xin Yujue, while Ning Chen and Ning Moran sat at the other end.
Ning Yao dozed off, but it was a light sleep. No one in the car spoke, and the atmosphere was rather awkward.
“Um…” Cui Mengmeng coughed lightly, secretly glancing at the sharp-tongued little boy next to Ning Yao, and swallowed her words back.
She originally wanted to ask Ning Yao if the little boy and girl were really her biological children.
Who is the child's father? But then I thought, these questions don't seem appropriate to ask in front of the child.
I'll hold off and talk about it when I get back to the dorm.
"Is there a problem with you?" Wen Aixiu stared intently at the seemingly foolish 'Aunt Cui' and asked in a cold voice.
"Huh? I don't have a problem, why are you asking this?" Cui Mengmeng felt uneasy and got goosebumps all over.
He was just a five or six-year-old child, but when he looked at her, Cui Mengmeng felt a sense of pressure.
"If you have no problem, why are you staring at me with such a strange look in your eyes?" Wen Aixiu disliked liars and directly exposed Cui Mengmeng's lie.
Cui Mengmeng was speechless. After stammering for a while, she said, "I'm just curious where you and her came from."
"Your wording is wrong. What do you mean by 'popped out'? I am the child that Mommy carried for ten months and gave birth to. I didn't pop out of a stone. Don't question my origins. I am Mommy's biological son."
Wen Aixiu glanced at Cui Mengmeng, then pointed to his younger sister and said solemnly, "She is my own sister, born from Mommy's ten months of pregnancy. We are twins, you should be able to tell, right?"
"Yes." Cui Mengmeng nodded quickly, not wanting to have any more chances to talk to Wen Aixiu, that little devil.
"As for them..." Wen Aixiu frowned slightly, looking at Ning Chen and Ning Moran who remained silent.
While on the ship, he heard Ning Moran call his mother "Mom." Not knowing Ning Moran's background, he naturally felt repulsed, thinking she was there to steal his mother's affection.
"I haven't found out who it is yet, but I will absolutely not allow anyone with ill intentions to get close to my mother!" Wen Aixiu's tone was full of warning. As he spoke, he glanced at Ning Yao beside him, and worried that his voice would wake her up, so he deliberately lowered his voice and reduced the decibels.
Ning Moran smiled faintly, her gentle face appearing exceptionally kind and approachable, utterly harmless.
Especially since he was sitting next to Ning Chen, the stern-faced god, the two had completely different styles and auras.
