Chapter 275 A Figure of Great Power, No Mistake
Ning Moran and Ning Chen are now grown up, but their older brother is still a half-grown child. This feeling is too strange.
He always felt a sense of unreality whenever he was with Wen Aixiu and Wen Baoying.
Have I really grown up? Am I still a five or six-year-old child, like my older brother or sister?
This proved to be true, and it seemed that her brother harbored inexplicable hostility towards both her and Ning Chen.
When Wen Aixiu saw that Ning Moran could still laugh, wasn't his warning tone clear enough?
"Why are you laughing? Do you not respect me?" Wen Aixiu's eyes sharpened, as if he possessed a kind of intimidating power unlike that of his peers.
"No, I respect you very much." Ning Moran suppressed her smile, but her eyes still held warmth, showing no sign of anger whatsoever.
"Then what are you laughing at?" Wen Aixiu crossed his arms, his little eyebrows furrowed like an old man's, his seriousness revealing a precocious maturity beyond his years.
Ning Moran glanced at Ning Yao, who was sleeping lightly, and then slowly said to Wen Aixiu, "Mom will be very happy to have a filial son like you who thinks of her, so I smiled."
"Is that really true?" Wen Aixiu's brows relaxed slightly, his face full of disbelief.
"Yes, that's true. I never lie." Ning Moran's brows always held a faint smile.
Seeing this, Cui Mengmeng inwardly admired Ning Moran's good temper, despite his genius in biology.
Of all Luo Xiyao's sons, Ning Moran has the best temper, at least that's how she's seen him so far.
Compared to Ning Moran's easygoing nature, Ning Chen stood aside with a stern face, not uttering a single word, as if it were none of his business.
But just as they were chatting, Ning Chen suddenly bent down, stood up, walked to Wen Baoying's side, and picked her up in his arms.
Wen Baoying looked completely bewildered, and her childish voice uttered a single word: "Hmm?"
Ning Chen picked her up and moved her to the side, then sat down in Wen Baoying's original spot. He gently placed the swaying Ning Yao on his shoulder so she could sleep more comfortably.
Wen Aixiu was furious. He was supporting his mother, and this man was trying to snatch her away. What did he mean by that?
Before Wen Aixiu could assert his sovereignty, Ning Chen raised his hand to make a shushing gesture.
Wen Aixiu swallowed the question that was about to come out of his mouth, but his eyes were still staring at Ning Chen.
"I'll settle the score with you after Mommy wakes up!" A gentleman takes his revenge even after ten years, so he's in no hurry.
Isn't it just because she's taller than him?
Ning Chen is a grown man of nineteen. When he grows up to that age, he might be even taller than Ning Chen!
Ning Yao woke up slowly after sleeping for half an hour, completely unaware of what had happened around her.
She realized her cheek was pressed against a warm shoulder; the person's body temperature was high, and they were also tall...
Looking up, Ning Yao realized that she had fallen asleep leaning on Ning Chen's shoulder.
She blinked sleepily, remembering that Ning Chen was sitting on Ning Moran's side when they got on the bus. Had he deliberately switched seats to come over?
Seeing that Ning Yao had woken up, Ning Chen then stretched his stiff shoulders and arms.
"Is your arm numb?" Ning Yao reached out to massage Ning Chen's arm, but he shyly dodged away.
"It's nothing, it's only been less than half an hour." After Ning Chen finished speaking, he got up and sat back down next to Ning Moran, looking completely indifferent as if nothing had happened.
Wen Aixiu shuffled over to sit next to Ning Yao, looking unhappy.
Ning Yao noticed that Ai Xiu was acting strangely and asked, "Baby, what's wrong?"
Wen Aixiu couldn't help but smile; he was still his mother's most beloved son.
As soon as she woke up, she called herself "baby" but not the other two.
"It's nothing, I'm just feeling down because I won't be able to see Mommy again." Wen Aixiu pouted, looking annoyed.
Going to school is meaningless; he's already learned the lessons. He wouldn't want to go if he hadn't promised his mom he'd study hard.
"It's Mommy's fault. Mommy will definitely make time to visit you and Baoying. Hmm, once a month, okay?"
"Why only once a month?" Wen Aixiu's face suddenly turned ashen, and he was almost about to make a scene.
“Mommy also has to go to school, so she’s very busy every day. The journey is long, and it’s inconvenient for her to travel back and forth.”
"Then I'll transfer schools. I want to transfer to a school closer to yours, so I can see you every day!"
There are no good primary schools near Mommy's school.
Ning Yao had already looked at the qualifications of several primary schools near the Communication University of China, but none of them were quite suitable. She had also thought about finding a school closer to her child so as not to interfere with his studies, but unfortunately, there were no schools that met the requirements.
"Then why don't you just have Daddy build a primary school near your school?" Wen Aixiu persisted.
"I also want to go to school with Mommy." Wen Baoying hugged her Barbie doll, her face full of anticipation.
"I need to discuss this with your father after he returns to China. You two stay at your current schools and behave yourselves." Ning Yao patiently comforted her two children, showing no sign of being perfunctory; this was indeed something she needed to discuss with Wen Tingye.
It wasn't that she didn't have the money to build a primary school; it was just that her connections weren't as reliable as Wen Tingye's. Building a primary school required obtaining the necessary qualifications and cultivating relationships with the government. Besides, building a building or finding land would take at least a year and a half; it couldn't be done overnight.
"Okay, then you must remember to come visit us often." Wen Aixiu compromised; he didn't want to see his mother troubled.
"Mommy will definitely keep her promise to you, once a month, rain or shine." Ning Yao stretched out her little finger, pretending to make a pinky promise with Wen Aixiu.
Wen Aixiu had long since stopped falling for pinky promises; they were just kids' tricks. But when he faced Ning Yao, he still extended his little finger and hooked it with hers, playing along with her childishness.
The car first took the children to the Wen family residence, to Old Master Wen and Old Madam Wen's place.
As they were getting off the bus, Ning Chen and Ning Moran magically produced two beautifully packaged gift boxes from behind their backs.
"These are your birthday presents." Ning Moran took Ning Chen's as well and handed them to the two children.
"Thank you, brother." Wen Baoying was overjoyed. She hadn't expected to receive a gift, especially before their parting. It touched her deeply.
Wen Aixiu said awkwardly, "I don't want it, you guys keep it!"
Ning Yao gave Wen Aixiu a cool look, and the person in question immediately coughed twice, pretending to be annoyed.
"Alright, alright, I'll reluctantly accept it since you've meant well."
"You share the same birthday as us. Next time we meet, we'll make up for the missed gift. It's only polite to reciprocate!"
Ning Yao was satisfied; this was her good son.
She reached out and patted Wen Aixiu's head, giving him a thumbs-up without holding back her praise.
Wen Aixiu's ears turned red, but she still kept a poker face and turned to walk to the side of the Wen residence.
Upon hearing the car, the servants in the mansion quickly came out to greet the young master and young lady.
Mr. and Mrs. Wen happened to be home, so they walked a little slower.
Xin Yujue saw Old Master Wen in person from afar, and was so shocked that her eyes almost popped out of her head.
She had seen Old Master Wen on financial news; he was one of the most influential figures in the capital, no doubt about it!
