Chapter 126 A family of three, warm and content.
Ning Yao went to see the children with her real appearance, thinking that Ai Xiu and Bao Ying would not recognize her.
As Ning Yao walked to the front of the courtyard, she gazed at the two children playing at a distance, wondering how to explain to them that her appearance had changed. However, Wen Aixiu and Wen Baoying reacted first. After only a moment of stunned silence, they ran up to her and called out "Mommy".
Ning Yao raised an eyebrow, opened her arms to catch the children, and then asked gently, "You two clever little devils, how did you recognize me?"
Wen Baoying stretched out her delicate little arms and hugged Ning Yao's neck, obediently replying, "I've seen it in my dreams. Mommy looks just like this. She's so beautiful, like a fairy."
Wen Aixiu couldn't take his eyes off her. He had vaguely seen his mother's face in his dreams, and now it was clear in his mind, standing right in front of him and his sister.
The two little bundles of joy stayed close to Ning Yao, their smiles as sweet as could be.
Looking at their smiles, Ning Yao felt a pang of sadness; her eyes welled up with tears, and her nose stung with a sharp pain.
She missed five years of Ai Xiu Bao Ying's life, and during those five years, when they missed their mother, they could only see her in their dreams...
Ning Yao led the child to the pavilion and sat down. She took out the jade and gemstone bracelet she had made and personally put it on Wen Baoying.
They also brought out a gift for Wen Aixiu: a new figurine from a Y-country anime action toy manufacturer, which wasn't yet available for sale.
The two children loved it to bits. Not only did it happen to be something they liked, but they loved anything their mom gave them.
Looking at the two children, Ning Yao felt her heart inexplicably race, experiencing a strange maternal connection.
This feeling is indescribable, but when she is close to the child, the heartfelt happiness and satisfaction make Ning Yao feel at ease.
"Mommy is here to take you home." Ning Yao reached out and pinched Wen Aixiu's cheek, then ruffled Wen Baoying's hair, smiling gently.
She was already beautiful, and when she smiled with her eyebrows curved, her eyes seemed to be adorned with brilliant stars, making her seem otherworldly.
"Can I live with Daddy and Mommy from now on?" Wen Baoying was very happy; she had been waiting for this day for so long.
In the sunlight, the gemstone-encrusted chain on Wen Baoying's delicate wrist shimmered with a beautiful luster, looking absolutely gorgeous.
Ning Yao was stumped by her daughter's question; she really hadn't decided whether she wanted to be with Wen Tingye in the future.
"Mommy, why aren't you saying anything?" Wen Baoying reached out and grabbed Ning Yao's clothes, shaking them gently, her tone somewhat coquettish.
"That depends on how well you behave." Ning Yao deliberately put on a stern face and pretended to be serious. "The final exams are coming up soon, right? You can't slack off. You have to get good grades to show Mommy."
Wen Aixiu and Wen Baoying nodded in agreement. It's just a matter of studying hard and getting first place in the grade. It's no big deal.
When Wen Tingye arrived at the back courtyard, he heard his daughter ask Ning Yao a question and almost pricked up his ears to hear Ning Yao's answer.
Seeing that Ning Yao did not refuse outright, he took it as her tacit acceptance of their relationship and was in a great mood.
The man, exuding a chilling aura, walked up to Ning Yao and, without any attempt to hide from the children's gaze, turned to the side and lightly kissed Ning Yao's lips.
"What are you doing? The child is watching. Don't be so indecent!" Ning Yao was shy and reached out to push Wen Tingye away, but Wen Tingye stretched out his arm and pulled her into his arms, not allowing her to struggle.
“They’re old enough to understand, there’s no need to hide it.” Wen Tingye’s voice was low, but he was lying.
Ning Yao was somewhat speechless. A five-year-old child who was already so sensible—Wen Tingye was indeed quite different from normal people.
She leaned close to Wen Tingye's ear and whispered through gritted teeth, "Aren't you afraid that Ai Xiu will follow suit and molest female classmates at school?"
“If he really has that ability, I wouldn’t mind arranging a marriage for him myself.” Wen Tingye’s thin lips remained curved, his voice gentle.
Ning Yao rolled her eyes. She had learned something new; there were fathers who actually supported their five-year-old son's early romance.
Watching Ning Yao and Wen Tingye bicker, Wen Baoying secretly nudged Wen Aixiu's arm, grinning mischievously.
"There are pink bubbles floating around Mommy and Daddy, they're so pretty, they must be in love."
Wen Aixiu looked at Wen Tingye with a sullen face. He always felt that his father was pretty good, but his mother was even better. His father must have done good deeds in his past life to be blessed, so he was able to have such a beautiful and capable woman as his wife in this life!
“We’re already here, and Daddy’s only just now winning Mommy’s heart… isn’t that a bit late?” Wen Aixiu glanced at Wen Tingye with disdain. If his dad had been more proactive, would they have had to wait five years for Mommy to be with them?
“Daddy is inexperienced too. When have you ever spoken more than three sentences to a woman? Do you remember when we were in kindergarten? The female teacher tried to talk to Daddy, but he didn’t give her a friendly look. It’s already pretty good that he managed to win Mommy’s heart.” Wen Baoying whispered to Wen Aixiu with a smile, but she didn’t lower her voice, so Wen Tingye and Ning Yao could hear her clearly.
Ning Yao felt a little embarrassed by what the two children said.
Her relationship with Wen Tingye was indeed unusual; they had a child first, but their feelings for each other developed slowly and later.
"You two little brats, stop talking nonsense. My wife is easily embarrassed and can't stand being teased like this. Hurry up and say goodbye to Grandma. After you say goodbye, we'll go home." Wen Tingye urged Ai Xiubao and Ying Ying to stop teasing Ning Yao.
"Oh..." Wen Baoying glanced at Wen Tingye, guessing that her father had been told what was on his mind by her brother, which was why he sent them away.
"Daddy, you need to know that Mommy is our Mommy first, and then your wife." Wen Aixiu shrugged, said something sarcastic, and then pulled his sister's hand to leave the courtyard, worried that Wen Tingye would beat him up in a fit of anger.
Just then, Grandpa Wen returned home and heard that his son had brought his fiancée to the old house. He hurried to the backyard and saw the family of four enjoying themselves together.
His grandson has always been a smart aleck and disobedient, but they are, after all, his biological mother and son, bound by blood.
Since Ning Yao appeared, he has become much more well-behaved and studies hard, consistently ranking first in his grade. A few days ago, his teacher even made a special phone call to the old house to praise Wen Aixiu for being clever and a good role model for his classmates.
Ning Yao has really helped the Wen family a lot.
Madam Wen also came to the backyard. As soon as she walked to her husband's side, she heard him say with emotion, "Look how well the four of them get along. Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. Don't try to play matchmaker. That Miss Lian is not suitable for Tingye."
Before Madam Wen could say anything, Old Master Wen smiled and reached out to pull her away.
"I bought you your favorite bird's nest soup from a famous brand. Try it."
