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

Chapter 66 Ning Yao proposed that she was preparing to leave.

Wen Tingye returned home around dinner time.

The family cook had already prepared dinner, and the children and Ning Yao were waiting for it.

After Wen Tingye sat down in the restaurant, he looked up at Ning Yao across the table. She was chatting with the children, her eyes seemed to be filled with stars, shining with a soft light, and a gentle smile was on her lips.

He had always felt that the role of wife was superfluous, and that having him and the children at home was enough. But now, with Ning Yao added to the mix, he not only didn't feel uncomfortable, but he also felt that this kind of life was more complete and more fulfilling.

Noticing a burning gaze on her face, Ning Yao turned her head and met Wen Tingye's gaze.

Ning Yao felt that she should report Lian Jiaorui's matter to Wen Tingye, so she briefly recounted what had happened during the day.

Wen Tingye responded indifferently, seemingly having no interest in Lian Jiaorui's matter.

Ning Yao asked curiously, "Why aren't you angry? I stole your fiancée and drove her away."

Upon hearing the words "fiancée," Wen Tingye frowned.

She is not my fiancée.

Wen Aixiu and Wen Baoying also shook their heads; they didn't want any other woman to be their mother.

Seeing that Wen Tingye and the children didn't mind her driving Lian Jiaorui away, Ning Yao stopped talking.

Since the person has already left and the person in question doesn't seem to care, why should she hold a grudge?

Ning Yao picked up her chopsticks and placed two pieces of tender stewed pork cartilage into Wen Aixiu and Wen Baoying's small rice bowls.

“Miss Lian was arranged by my mother, and I have never acknowledged her identity.” Wen Tingye explained Lian Jiaorui’s background to Ning Yao intentionally or unintentionally, hoping that Ning Yao would not misunderstand and feel jealous for no reason.

Ning Yao gave a mumbled response, then put down her chopsticks and told Wen Tingye about her plans to move out.

Even though she was reluctant to leave her child, she had to leave the Wen family.

In the long run, she must first establish herself in the capital and resolve the feud with the Ning family to prevent being targeted by treacherous individuals. The safest option is for the children to be away from her. Only after dealing with all the troubles will she be qualified to negotiate custody of the two children with the Wen family and ensure that the children stay safely by her side.

“I’m almost fully recovered, and it’s quite inconvenient for me to stay at Mr. Wen’s place all this time…” Ning Yao said tactfully.

"I won't disturb you." Wen Tingye cut off Ning Yao's next words decisively, his face dark and ugly.

He was unhappy not because Ning Yao had suggested leaving the Wen family, but because Ning Yao seemed completely indifferent to his relationship with Lian Jiaorui.

The thought of being jealous of Ning Yao and Chen Xuezong made Wen Tingye feel even worse.

Women have always been vying to be with him, but he has never cared for any woman as much as he has for Ning Yao.

Wen Tingye's pride began to take over. He gave Ning Yao, who was feeding the child, a cold look, his brows furrowed tightly.

After waiting a while longer, Ning Yao still didn't respond. Wen Tingye slammed down his chopsticks in displeasure, walked straight upstairs, and went to his study without looking back.

When Wen Aixiu saw her father's mischievous grin after his humiliation, Wen Baoying, who was holding a small soup spoon and drinking soup, also covered her mouth and giggled.

Seeing the two children's strange reaction—they weren't afraid of their father's anger, but instead laughed—Ning Yao asked, "You two little devils, what are you secretly laughing about?"

Ai Xiu and Bao Ying shook their heads and obediently continued eating, while Ning Yao looked completely bewildered.

After dinner, Wen Aixiu sat cross-legged on the living room carpet, while Ning Yao sat beside him, building Lego together.

Wen Baoying doesn't like Lego, so she lay on the ground and clung to Ning Yao, snuggling into her arms, her little arms wrapped around Ning Yao's waist, looking blissful.

Wen Tingye walked out in his pajamas and happened to see this scene; a smile involuntarily crept onto his lips.

Ning Yao was assembling Lego when a pair of men's slippers suddenly appeared in front of her. Following the legs upwards, she saw Wen Tingye.

Wen Tingye avoided the Lego fragments on the ground, found an open space and slowly sat down, closing the distance between himself and Ning Yao.

Ning Yao's loungewear was bought for her by Qin's mother. It was a slightly fitted, milky apricot-colored short dress with lace trim on the neckline and hem. The length only reached her thighs, showing off Ning Yao's good figure. She looked pure yet charming.

Wen Tingye stared at her for a long time, only to feel his throat suddenly tighten and become dry.

Not wanting Ning Yao to notice anything amiss, he forcefully turned his gaze away and drank most of a glass of ice water.

"Let's go to the old house for dinner next weekend. You saved my mother, and the two elders are hosting a banquet for you at their home." Wen Tingye said in a deep voice, as if he were talking about something that was perfectly ordinary.

"There's no need for a meal. The medical expenses for hospitalization, as well as the food expenses for my stay at the Wen family's house, are more than enough to repay the kindness of saving the old lady. Please ask Mr. Wen to thank the two elders for my kindness." Ning Yao subconsciously refused, not wanting to have anything to do with the Wen family anymore.

“The old man has already made arrangements. Once he’s made up his mind, no one can change it. I’ll drive you and the children there next weekend.” Wen Tingye was dissatisfied with Ning Yao’s outright refusal and stopped speaking in a consultative tone.

He was tall with long arms and legs, and he sat squeezed in the space between Ning Yao and the children. He couldn't stretch out his limbs and could only sit cross-legged, which looked somewhat funny.

As Ning Yao watched, she suddenly pursed her lips and smiled.

It was only then that she understood what those two little devils had been laughing about in the restaurant earlier.

During her time at the Wen family, she didn't have much contact with Wen Tingye, but they still met a few times every day. Wen Tingye was always a man of few words in public, so it was particularly interesting to see him suffer setbacks and be bullied.

“Okay, going to dinner is no problem, but I can’t stay here with President Wen any longer.” Ning Yao took a step back and looked at Wen Tingye with a smile.

Although her human skin mask altered her facial features, it could not conceal her eyes, and her charm and smile were displayed almost without reservation to Wen Tingye.

For a fleeting moment, Wen Tingye's heart clenched violently, as if his soul had been stolen by those fox-like eyes.

Perhaps Shen Jiangyuan's accusation that Ning Yao was a vixen wasn't entirely unfounded; Ning Yao's eyes were indeed beautiful.

Wen Tingye remained silent, while the two children beside him showed expressions of reluctance when they heard Ning Yao say she was leaving.

Why can't Mommy live with them? Is it because she misses her younger siblings?

I wonder when Daddy will be able to win Mommy's heart. Then the family won't have to be separated anymore, right?

Ai Xiu and Bao Ying scooted closer to Ning Yao, as if only by staying close to her could they keep their mother from leaving.

Ning Yao forced herself not to look at the two children beside her, hardening her heart.

She still had many things to do, and staying in the Wen family would lead to nothing, and her plans would be put on hold indefinitely.

Ning Yao stared intently at Wen Tingye, her fox-like eyes revealing determination and stubbornness, as if she would fight him to the death if he didn't agree, and that once she made up her mind, it couldn't be changed.

Wen Tingye put down the empty transparent glass water glass in his hand. Because it had been filled with ice water, the outside of the glass was covered with crystal-clear water droplets.

He pulled out a tissue, slowly wiped his palms, and gave a soft reply.

"Stay for another week, and after we have dinner at the old house next weekend, you can go back."
