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

Chapter 225 Keep your eyes closed, don't look around indiscriminately

There were entertainment activities on the cruise ship in the afternoon. The captain hosted a dance party for everyone, which was held on the deck.

Thanks to Wen Tingye's swimming training in Y country, Ning Yao is no longer so afraid of the sea.

After she and her roommates changed clothes, they all appeared on the corridor by the deck, each wearing a different colored dress.

The entire cruise ship was filled with soft and romantic classic dance music, which was pleasant to listen to and relaxing.

Cui Mengmeng and Xin Yujue were both hesitant to go up and dance, especially after seeing several girls who danced exceptionally well, they became even more reluctant.

“We only learned the basics at school, and we only know a few basic dance moves. It would be too embarrassing for us to go up there and dance like that.”

"It's not bad to take a look; we're here purely to enjoy the scenery."

"Yaoyao, are you going up to dance later? If President Wen and Ning Moran and Ning Chen both invite you, who will you accept?" Cui Mengmeng leaned closer to Ning Yao and asked her about her plans for later.

"Why do we have to choose one? Can't Yao Yao share the spoils equally?" Xin Yujue said with a smile from the side.

“You’re right, if everyone gets their share, there’s no need to worry about it!” Cui Mengmeng seemed to have found the answer to her question.

But then she thought about it again and asked suspiciously, "President Wen doesn't seem like someone easy to talk to. Would he allow Yao Yao to dance with other men?"

Ning Yao frowned and pouted, clearly showing her disdain. She really disliked Wen Tingye's domineering attitude.

She was just with her son, and Wen Tingye was even jealous of his son!

"I'm not one of his people, so why should I interfere?"

Wen Tingye walked onto the deck and, by sheer bad luck, overheard Ning Yao's words. His sharp, hawk-like eyes suddenly turned to Ning Yao.

"Oh? If not one of my people, then whose is it?"

"Looks like the lesson I gave you wasn't enough. You've gotten too cocky and forgotten your roots, haven't you?"

Upon hearing this, Ning Yao felt a chill run down her spine and her legs trembled. Recalling the severe scolding she received from Wen Tingye after lunch, she felt a lingering fear.

"What's the point of something you get by force? Humph, is that all you're capable of?" Ning Yao retorted, forcing a smile.

Instead of getting angry, Wen Tingye laughed, a hint of mockery creeping into his eyes.

"Didn't you beg me to have yours? How did it become coercion?"

"Wen Tingye!" Ning Yao rushed forward in fright and covered Wen Tingye's mouth to prevent him from saying anything even more shocking.

Cui Mengmeng and Xin Yujue blushed upon hearing this.

Can't a couple just talk about their private matters in private? It's so embarrassing to have third wheels overhearing them!

Moreover, this is Wen Tingye. Over the years, there has never been any scandal involving Wen Tingye with women. If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they would have really thought that Wen Tingye was indifferent to women and had no interest in them.

"Your dance partner can only be me." Wen Tingye didn't care whether Ning Yao was willing or not; his tone was very harsh, as if he were giving an order.

Ning Yao felt helpless. She didn't want to provoke Wen Tingye anymore and let this man ruin her happy trip with her friends and son.

"Okay, I'll dance with you, are you satisfied now?" Ning Yao sighed.

Wen Tingye raised an eyebrow. Although he did not respond to Ning Yao's question, his expression was enough to show that he was satisfied with her answer.

Cui Mengmeng and Xin Yujue were unexpectedly fed a mouthful of dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection), and sighed inwardly, thinking that at this rate, they probably wouldn't even need to eat dinner.

Ning Yao sat on the sofa with a cold expression. She didn't plan to go to the dance floor so early and wanted to watch how others danced more.

Wen Tingye was recognized by several wealthy people and surrounded by them. He absentmindedly drank his wine, his eyes constantly glancing in Ning Yao's direction.

The wealthy people also noticed this and followed Wen Tingye's gaze to see an extremely beautiful young girl. Not only was her appearance impeccable, but her figure was also among the best of all the women present.

The wealthy men had seen plenty of beautiful women and were never short of attractive people around them, yet they were still amazed by Ning Yao's appearance.

What's most valuable is that her appearance is completely natural, without any trace of artifice, which an experienced person can tell at a glance.

Such a beauty, yet they didn't notice her when they boarded the ship. Was it because Wen Tingye hid her so well?

"Keep your eyes in check."

Several wealthy men were gazing at Ning Yao, their thoughts drifting away, when they were startled awake by a cold, deep voice beside them.

Wen Tingye still had a smile on his lips because his gaze wasn't on the wealthy men, but that smile carried a subtle, cruel glint.

It was as if Wen Tingye would tear them to pieces if these people looked at Ning Yao with such longing eyes again.

The wealthy men quickly averted their gazes, no longer daring to disrespect Ning Yao, lest they anger Wen Tingye, the living devil.

Ning Moran and Ning Chen changed into well-tailored haute couture suits. They still had a youthful air about them, but they looked much more mature.

Their looks were naturally outstanding on the ship; apart from Wen Tingye, they were the most eye-catching.

Cui Mengmeng and Ning Yao were sitting very close together, and she had already seen no fewer than seven girls go up to invite Ning Moran to dance.

Ning Moran didn't agree to any of them, holding her wine glass and occasionally glancing at Ning Yao.

"Oh, poor little Mo Ran. If President Wen hadn't been there, he definitely would have danced with you," Cui Mengmeng sighed.

He was just being considerate of his dad; he didn't want to argue with his petty dad!

Ning Yao picked up her wine glass, took a small sip, and silently muttered a complaint to herself.

Compared to Ning Moran, Ning Chen naturally exudes a volatile and unapproachable aura, so no one dares to ask him to dance.

A few did withstand the pressure of Ning Chen's gaze, but they backed down before even getting close to him and ran away in fear.

Cui Mengmeng suddenly put down her wine glass, grinned at Ning Moran and Ning Chen, and said "Eh."

Ning Yao was focused on studying the dance steps of the men and women on the dance floor when Cui Mengmeng's shout next to her distracted her.

"What's wrong?" Ning Yao raised an eyebrow and asked in a cool voice.

"It seems that Miao Yuliu and the others have taken a liking to our people."

“Look, they’re going over there to chat up Moran and Achen.”

"How shameless! It's obvious that Mo Ran and A Chen are both our people, yet they still dare to covet them!"

Cui Mengmeng seemed a little unhappy with what she said, and raised her hand to poke in the direction of her two younger brothers.

Ning Yao looked in the direction Cui Mengmeng pointed, then chuckled and said, "Don't worry, my son and his friends are smart enough not to be interested in Miao Yuliu and her group."

Hearing Ning Yao's words, Cui Mengmeng felt enlightened and silently gave Ning Yao a thumbs up.

At the bar in the luxury ship cabin.

Miao Yuliu mustered her courage and walked up to Ning Moran. Before striking up a conversation, she spent nearly twenty minutes mentally preparing herself.

"Hello, my name is Miao Yuliu, and I'm classmates with Luo Xiyao." Miao Yuliu swallowed hard, looking a little nervous.

Ning Moran pretended not to see Miao Yuliu, his gaze drifting blankly past Miao Yuliu's head to the dance floor behind her.

Miao Yuliu felt a little embarrassed, and at this moment, her best friend standing next to her stepped up to help.

"Hey handsome, my Yu Liu would like to dance with you. You're free anyway, so why not do me the honor?"

“Our Yu Liu dances very well. If you lead her up there, she definitely won’t embarrass you.”

"It's not a problem to take her back to her room after the dance. Yu Liu is single and doesn't have anyone she's interested in. She's as clean as a blank sheet of paper!"

Hearing the chattering around him, Ning Chen impatiently pulled a pack of cigarettes from his pocket.

He took out two sticks, put one in his mouth and held the other between his fingers, and handed it to Ning Moran.

Ning Moran was about to reach out to take it when a gaze from her made his scalp tingle, and he subconsciously looked towards Ning Yao.

Ning Yao frowned in displeasure, her gaze falling on the pack of cigarettes in Ning Chen's hand. She whispered a few words to Cui Mengmeng beside her, then got up and came over.

"Ah Chen, quickly put the cigarette pack away!" Ning Moran's expression remained unchanged, and he didn't even move his lips, but a sentence suddenly escaped from his throat, reminding Ning Chen beside him.

"Why are you so nervous? I've never seen you smoke less than usual." Ning Chen glanced at Ning Moran, completely unconcerned.

He tossed the lighter into the air, played with it casually for a few moments, and then lit a cigarette with a snap, a wisp of smoke rising into the air.
