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

Chapter 402 Daughter Calls, Assistant Asks for Help

The next day.

Guan Ying waited at the door as usual, but more than an hour later than usual.

She had already figured out Ning Yao's wake-up time pattern after meeting Wen Tingye, which was always an hour or two later.

Sure enough, after waiting for about twenty minutes, someone came out of the teachers' apartment across the hall.

When Ning Yao saw Guan Ying, she curled her lips into a smile, but the smile carried a hint of resentment.

Guan Ying felt inexplicably guilty, but she didn't know what she had done to offend Boss Ning.

She left swiftly last night, without delaying their time together, didn't she?

It's unlikely that she got angry because she was an eyesore and a third wheel.

Could it be... that the things she bought aren't working well?

Wen Tingye came out after Ning Yao, with faint teeth marks on his face. They weren't very deep, but you could see them if you looked closely.

When Guan Ying saw that President Wen's face had been bitten, she was surprised for a few seconds before turning her attention back to Ning Yao, while the person in question remained calm.

After Wen Tingye took Ning Yao to the classroom, he went outside the school. Guan Ying only spoke after Wen Tingye left.

"Mr. Ning, did you have a bad time with President Wen last night?"

Cui Mengmeng and Xin Yujue were sitting to Ning Yao's right. Upon hearing Guan Ying's voice, they both perked up their ears.

Ning Yao was tidying up her books when she heard Guan Ying's words. She turned to look at her and asked, "Why do you ask that?"

"I feel that if President Wen is unhappy, our team will probably never have a peaceful day."

"Mr. Ning, you need to think about the bigger picture and try not to upset President Wen," Guan Ying replied earnestly.

Guan Ying has this much awareness. Since President Wen has already joined the team, he should calm down and cooperate with them, and practice his support skills. Otherwise, how can he compete with other teams?

Ning Yao was almost amused by Guan Ying's infatuation with the game.

Is she only focused on the game? Doesn't she care whether her boss suffered a loss last night?

"Ring ring—"

Just then, the school bell rang.

Ning Yao held back the words she was about to say, deciding to give her icy-faced female bodyguard, who was gradually veering off course, a good talking-to after class.

My phone vibrated in my pocket. Judging from the frequency of the vibration, it must have been a call from someone.

Ning Yao quietly took it out from under the table and glanced at it. The caller ID showed: Duo Bao.

Even if the sky were to fall, I would still answer my daughter's phone call.

So Ning Yao quickly bent down and answered the phone where the teacher couldn't see her, whispering, "Hello? Duoduo, what's wrong?"

But the voice on the other end of the phone wasn't her daughter's; it was her daughter's agent and assistant, Sister Mu.

"Are you Ning Duoduo's mother?" The other person seemed unsure who was answering the phone and didn't recognize Ning Yao's voice.

Especially since the person on the other end of the phone sounded very young, like they were in their early twenties, Mu Jie wasn't sure of their identity, which is why she asked the question.

"Yes, that's me." Ning Yao felt a vague unease in her heart, and her fingers gripped the phone tightly.

"Would it be convenient for you to come over now? There's been a problem with Duoduo." Mu Jie's voice was heavy, with a hint of helplessness in her tone.

She really had no other choice but to bypass her artist and contact her family without permission.

Ning Yao glanced at the professor who had already started lecturing on the podium and readily agreed.

"I'll be there right away. Is Duoduo at your company now?"

"I'll send you an address. Please check it. Once you arrive, just call this number to contact me. I'll send the number along with the address."

"Okay, thank you for your help."

After receiving Ning Yao's response, Mu Jie hung up the phone and quickly sent Ning Yao the address and phone number.

Ning Yao frowned as she looked at the message, feeling somewhat uneasy.

The agent didn't explain what had happened to her daughter, so Ning Yao couldn't speculate and could only go and check on her.

She stood up from her seat, and instantly, all the students in the large classroom looked at her with curiosity.

"I have to skip class. I'm not sure when I'll be back. You guys eat and rest on your own, don't wait for me." Ning Yao said to her friends with her head down, and then walked out of her seat.

Upon hearing this, Cui Mengmeng and Xin Yujue were both stunned.

You should know that this is Professor Liu, one of the four great masters of the school. Ning Yao is crazy to skip his class.

"Teacher, I'm Ning Yao. I need to ask for leave because there's an emergency at home." Ning Yao stepped out of her seat and stood on the open floor of the classroom. She respectfully nodded to the professor, and without waiting for his permission, she ran straight out of the classroom. Her speed was astonishing.

Along with Ning Yao, there was another girl, dressed in a neat and clean tracksuit, with a light and agile body.

The professor stared blankly at the female student who had blatantly skipped class, and immediately turned pale with anger.

He has been a teacher for over twenty years, and no student has ever dared to be so presumptuous in his class.

"What's the name of the female student following Ning Yao?" Professor Liu asked the students below in a cold voice, his beard bristling with anger.

“Professor Liu, that’s Ning Yao’s bodyguard. He’s always with her during class. He’s not from our school.” Someone who recognized Guan Ying immediately answered Professor Liu’s question.

"You even brought bodyguards to school?"

"Yes, Professor Liu, she has a powerful background; you can't afford to offend her," a female student said with a light laugh, her tone sarcastic and unpleasant.

"No matter how powerful someone is, they must abide by the school rules!" Professor Liu was provoked by the female student's words, and his voice was deep and powerful.

There were still over a hundred students waiting to hear his lecture. Professor Liu didn't want to waste time, so he could only secretly note down the student's name and settle the score later!

Cui Mengmeng and Xin Yujue looked at the female classmate who was speaking, but they didn't see any familiar faces.

The two women exchanged worried glances. There was nothing they could do to help now; they could only wait for Ning Yao to return.

Ning Yao left in such a hurry, something must have happened.

The two girls' eyes grew increasingly worried. They couldn't even concentrate on what the professor was saying on stage. They took out their phones and quickly sent a message to Ning Yao.

Ning Yao and Guan Ying got into a taxi and headed to Ning Duoduo's film shooting location.

Inside the car, Guan Ying noticed that Ning Yao's mood was off, and even her usually icy expression showed a hint of worry.

Guan Ying, as if presenting a treasure, pulled an unopened bottle of mineral water from her side pocket, unscrewed the cap, and handed it to Ning Yao.

"Mr. Ning, have some water."

Ning Yao thanked her softly, and while getting the water, she inadvertently touched Guan Ying's hand.

Guan Ying felt Ning Yao's cool, slightly damp fingertips, and her worry deepened.

Ten minutes ago, at the Hengdian filming location.

Ning Duoduo slowly walked down from the film set, looking as if she had lost all her strength, her steps unsteady.

She was clearly a girl not even twenty years old, who should be full of youthful energy, but she somehow looked like she was seventy or eighty years old with a hunched back.

After leaving the set, Ning Duoduo was helped into the dressing room by Mu Jie without saying a word, her face pale and unsightly.

The two originally entered the lounge together, but after a short while, one of them came out with a worried look on his face.

The door to the lounge was slammed shut from the inside.

After being kicked out, Mu Jie frowned, clutching Ning Duoduo's private cell phone in her hand.

She stared at her phone for a long time before finally making up her mind. She opened Ning Duoduo's contacts, found a number saved as 'Mom', and dialed it.
