Second pregnancy, sixth child: The beloved mom's disguise has been exposed again.

Chapter 49 The Ning Family's Recent Situation, Paying the Price

Wen Tingye carried Ning Yao and walked quickly out of the airport gate. He seemed to have completely forgotten that he still had an injury on his leg, and his steps were not affected at all.

Ning Yao wrapped her arms around Wen Tingye's neck and looked at him earnestly, saying, "Mr. Wen, please put me down."

Upon hearing this, Wen Tingye not only didn't let go of Ning Yao, but instead increased the strength of his arms, holding Ning Yao even tighter.

Wen Tingye's leg wound had clearly reopened, with blood dripping down in bits and pieces, leaving a long trail of blood behind him. Ning Yao was shocked and reached out to punch Wen Tingye's shoulder lightly, her tone full of helplessness.

"Your wound has reopened. Look behind you. There's blood all over the place. It looks like a crime scene."

Wen Tingye turned around and glanced back, finding no one following them, so he gently put Ning Yao down from his arms.

Ning Yao sighed inwardly at how good it felt to be grounded, but her joy was short-lived as an arm was draped over her shoulder.

"Help me to the car." Wen Tingye moved close to Ning Yao and commanded from above her forehead.

Ning Yao didn't push Wen Tingye away, but she didn't hold back with her words.

"Weren't you walking quite happily while you were carrying me? Now you need help?"

Ning Yao gritted her teeth and supported Wen Tingye, while Wen Tingye leaned against her with a faint smile on his lips, looking completely nonchalant and carefree, showing no trace of the noble and elegant demeanor of a young master.

After helping Wen Tingye into the car, Ning Yao turned to leave, but Wen Tingye pulled her back.

Just before she fell into the car, Wen Tingye raised his hand to cover the back of Ning Yao's head to prevent her from hitting the roof and hurting herself. He caught her steadily and held her in his arms.

When the woman suddenly bumped into the wound on his thigh, Wen Tingye's brows furrowed slightly.

Faced with such excruciating pain, he didn't utter a sound, as if the two long, slender legs beneath him were prosthetics.

Ning Yao realized that Wen Tingye's wound was right beneath her, and hurriedly got up, but was once again held in Wen Tingye's arms. She sat on Wen Tingye's lap, not daring to move, for fear of causing the man to be injured even more.

"Wen Tingye, what are you doing? Do you have masochistic tendencies? Why are you constantly aggravating your wounds? Aren't you afraid you won't be able to walk upright for the rest of your life?"

"I'll take you back."

"No need, we're not going that way. You should just go home and rest."

"obedient."

"Wen Tingye, I am a living, breathing person, not your puppet."

Ning Yao's voice was icy cold, causing the temperature inside the car to plummet, making the driver in the front seat shiver violently.

Wen Tingye remained silent for a moment, then finally let go. Ning Yao regained her freedom, got out of the car in a few steps, and slammed the door shut behind her.

Wen Tingye watched Ning Yao get into the car, then slowly drove out of the airport terminal before instructing the driver to start the car and head towards the Wen family villa.

When Ning Yao returned home, Chen Ma had prepared hot water in the bathtub for her, and the family doctor was already waiting in the living room, ready to conduct further physical examinations on Ning Yao to confirm that she was alright before reporting to Chen Xuezong.

"No need for further examination. Wen Tingye's medical team is trustworthy." Ning Yao waved her hand, dismissing the family doctor in the lobby. She didn't have the energy to undergo another examination.

Once inside the bathroom, Ning Yao took off her outer clothes, lifted her fair and slender legs, and stepped into the bathtub. She then raised the wound on her thigh to prevent it from getting wet.

The two fang marks from the snake bite have formed a thin scab, and the pain has subsided; instead, there's a slightly tingling and itchy feeling.

Recalling the scene of Wen Tingye sucking out the snake venom for her, Ning Yao's cheeks instantly turned crimson as the man sucked at such a sensitive spot. She gritted her teeth, shook her head vigorously, and forced herself not to think about those embarrassing and explicit scenes anymore.

The bathing process was long, but Ning Yao felt completely relaxed after soaking in the water. She put on her clean pajamas and slowly walked out of the bathroom.

When Chen Ma saw that Ning Yao had finished her bath, she stepped forward and said softly, "Xue Zong is here to see you. He's waiting downstairs."

Ning Yao nodded, took Chen Ma's arm, and they went down the wooden steps together.

Chen Xuezong sat on the sofa and saw Ning Yao and her mother come down at the same time. The two were chatting and laughing, and the scene was very harmonious.

Seeing this, he couldn't help but start imagining the wonderful days he would spend living with Ning Yao in the future.

He needs to work harder, to surpass Ning Yao, and to become the man she can rely on wholeheartedly.

"I heard you were bitten by a snake on the deserted island. Have you had the venom cleared up? Are you still feeling unwell? It would be best to go to the hospital for a check-up just to be on the safe side. Being bitten by such a beast is no small matter." Chen Xuezong couldn't help but feel concerned.

Ning Yao smiled and shook her head. What pain was a snake bite to her?

She had suffered the agony of being slowly sliced ​​to death, so compared to that, these minor ailments were nothing.

Seeing that Ning Yao was unwilling to talk about her injury again, Chen Xuezong explained to her the purpose of his visit.

"I will take over the work of liaising with Wens Group from now on."

Upon hearing this, Ning Yao looked at Chen Xuezong with some suspicion, her beautiful and alluring fox-like eyes seeming to ask him for the reason.

"Wen Tingye is too dangerous."

Business dealings between men are perhaps more straightforward. Chen Xuezong could easily see that Wen Tingye had a strong possessive desire for Ning Yao. In addition, he wanted Ning Yao to do something she liked instead of spending all her time working for the company. For both personal and professional reasons, he did not want Ning Yao to have any further contact with Wen Tingye.

"It's okay, I can handle it."

Ning Yao declined Chen Xuezong's offer and then inquired about the new company's situation, to which Chen Xuezong replied methodically.

After arranging their work for the next few days, Ning Yao nestled into the sofa, leaning back to reveal the beautiful curve of her swan-like neck, which was fair and slender.

"Xuezong, I have a favor to ask of you."

"Go and investigate the Ning family's situation in the capital over the years. Find out everything, big or small, and don't let a single hair slip by."

As she spoke, Ning Yao gazed thoughtfully at the ceiling, her eyes filled with complex emotions.

With the company becoming more stable, it's time to start taking care of some things...

Wen Family Villa.

When Wen Tingye returned home, his parents and two children were already waiting in the living room. They were relieved to see that Wen Tingye was alright.

"Daddy, how is Sister Ningyao?" Wen Aixiu hurriedly stepped forward and asked her father.

Wen Baoying held her brother's hand beside her, her face also showing concern.

When Madam Wen saw that her two children were not concerned about their father's health, but instead cared about a strange woman, her expression turned somewhat unpleasant.

The older one jumped into the sea for Ning Yao, risking his own life, and the younger one followed suit as if possessed.

She was determined to find out who this woman named Ning Yao was!

"She's safe and unharmed. I'll take you to see her in a few days."

Hearing Wen Tingye say that, the two children were overjoyed and rushed up to hug him. Wen Baoying even exclaimed in her sweet voice, "I knew Daddy was the best!"

Madam Wen was displeased and immediately objected with a stern face, "Why are you taking the children to see her for no reason? You're not allowed to go!"

Wen Tingye didn't reply. He stood there, his eyes indifferent, as if he didn't take Old Madam Wen's words to heart at all.

The two children's heads drooped listlessly, clearly saddened that they couldn't see Ning Yao.

Grandpa Wen picked up his porcelain cup and took a sip of tea. He glanced silently at his son's face, then slowly stood up, supporting himself on his knees. "Let's go back and let Tingye get some rest."

Madam Wen wanted to say something more, but was stopped by Old Master Wen's gaze. She reluctantly got up and, before leaving, instructed the servants to take good care of Wen Tingye and to have the cook prepare more nourishing medicinal soups for him.

Wen Tingye saw the two elders off to their car and watched them leave. He then had the nanny take the child back to the bedroom. When he had some free time, he called his assistant.

"How's the investigation going?"

"The mastermind behind hiring people to harm Miss Ning is Miss Shen, Shen Jiangyuan."

"Only Shen Jiangyuan was found?" Wen Tingye narrowed his eyes and tapped his fingers rhythmically on the table.

"Yes, we only found information about Miss Shen." The assistant didn't understand Wen Tingye's meaning and didn't dare to speculate further, so he quickly answered Wen Tingye's question.

"Continue the investigation and find the real mastermind behind this."

"Anyone who dares to kill someone on my ship, Wen Tingye, should know they will pay the price."

Wen Tingye's voice suddenly turned cold, which made his assistant's scalp tingle. He didn't dare to breathe and quickly agreed, not daring to delay for a moment. He immediately arranged for his subordinates to find out the truth of the matter.
