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

Chapter 99 Leaving the city, gunshots are heard.

night.

Wen Tingye indeed went to Jeffrey's studio with Ning Yao.

When Wen Tingye saw the finished three gemstone bracelets made of jade, he raised an eyebrow thoughtfully and looked at Ning Yao beside him, a hint of a smile in his eyes.

Before Ning Yao could speak, Wen Tingye asked leisurely, "The other two are for our future daughter?"

Hearing this, Ning Yao was speechless. Who would have a future with him? Wen Tingye really knows how to defend someone and spout nonsense without batting an eye.

After checking the three gemstone bracelets and confirming that there were no problems, Ning Yao carefully put the items away in her bag.

Back in the car, the driver slowly drove away from the city center.

Shortly after leaving the city, a gunshot rang out, and the driver collapsed onto the steering wheel before he could even utter a sound.

Ning Yao was startled by the sudden gunshot and abruptly looked up, her eyes wide open.

Wen Tingye frowned, quickly unbuckled his seatbelt, and swiftly moved from the back seat to the driver's seat.

After confirming that the driver's head had been pierced by a bullet and he died on the spot, Wen Tingye pushed the body out of the car and then straddled the driver's seat himself.

Wen Tingye realized that all the people he had arranged had been sacrificed, leaving no survivors. He immediately said to Ning Yao in the back seat in a cold voice, "Fasten your seatbelt and don't move."

"Do you know how to use a gun?" Wen Tingye asked in a deep voice while driving.

"meeting."

"There's a gun under the back seat. Take it out and do as I say."

In this emergency, Ning Yao had no choice but to follow Wen Tingye's orders. She took out a gun from under the back seat of the car and examined it under the car's interior light.

Fortunately, she had used this pistol before and was very familiar with it; it was a classic old pistol model.

The rear window of the car was hit by a bullet and shattered with a loud cracking sound. Ning Yao reacted quickly, covered her head and bent over, finding the safest spot to hide.

A car quickly caught up with them. Before Wen Tingye could give any orders, Ning Yao pushed open the car door, leaned half her body out, and swiftly aimed her pistol at the tires of the car behind her.

Wen Tingye noticed Ning Yao's movements and out of the corner of his eye saw someone in the other car pointing a gun at Ning Yao's head.

The man gritted his teeth in anger, and in the instant his jaw muscles twitched, he suddenly turned the steering wheel all the way to the floor. After a beautiful drift, the other party's shot missed, and Wen Tingye, due to the momentum of turning around, slammed hard into the car door. A small steel knife placed on the side pierced his arm, and a faint sound of muscle being cut by a blade echoed inside the car, almost inaudible.

After several gunshots, the car chasing them lost control due to a tire blowout and crashed heavily into a tree trunk.

Wen Tingye saw this scene in the rearview mirror outside the car, and the corners of his lips curled up, the smile gradually deepening.

As expected of the woman Wen Tingye likes, her marksmanship is truly beautiful!

Wen Tingye was a very good driver, and he quickly drove Ning Yao out of the group's sight.

Once they reached a safe area, Wen Tingye stopped the car, abruptly pushed open the door, and stepped out, unbuttoning his shirt as he walked, his movements rough and filled with anger.

Then Wen Tingye stood on the open ground dozens of meters outside the car, and stopped moving.

Ning Yao opened her bag, confirmed that the three necklaces were intact, zipped it up, carried it in her hand, and followed Wen Tingye out of the car.

Wen Tingye seemed to be on the phone with his men. Ning Yao only heard him say that he wanted to properly bury the brothers who had lost their lives and settle their families. He also sent a group of people to Duke Argyll's house. As for what they were going to do, Ning Yao had no idea.

After making the call, Wen Tingye walked to Ning Yao's side. His shirt buttons were undone, and the anger in his azure eyes from when he was on the phone was gone. He was now looking her up and down.

"Are you hurt anywhere?" Wen Tingye had been keeping an eye on Ning Yao's situation and knew she hadn't been grazed by stray bullets, but he still couldn't help asking, fearing that Ning Yao might have been injured somewhere he couldn't see.

Ning Yao shook her head. She was indeed fine; there wasn't even a scratch on her body.

Her sharp eyes caught sight of Wen Tingye's arm and noticed that the sleeve of his white shirt was completely soaked in blood, a horrifying shade of red, and a small steel knife was sticking out of his arm muscle.

"What happened to this knife?" Ning Yao hurriedly stepped forward to check Wen Tingye's injuries, her eyes filled with undisguised anxiety.

"Are you worried about me?" Wen Tingye asked in a low voice, his tone incredibly sweet at the end.

Since there was a gun in the car, there must also be basic medical supplies. Ning Yao didn't reply to Wen Tingye's words, but turned around and went into the car, where she found a white medical kit.

Ning Yao came out carrying a medical kit, pulled Wen Tingye to sit down beside her, and carefully treated the wound on his arm.

For Wen Tingye, this injury was nothing, but he enjoyed Ning Yao's concern for him.

As the only source of light in the night, the car headlights shone on them, casting long shadows.

Using the car headlights, Ning Yao disinfected and applied medicine to Wen Tingye's wound, her bandaging technique was skillful.

Wen Tingye stared intently at Ning Yao, his gaze fixed on her face as if it were glued to her.

While applying the medicine, Ning Yao subtly infused Wen Tingye's body with spiritual spring water, which would promote the healing of the wound on his arm.

“You’re injured, I’ll drive.” Ning Yao said, then stepped into the driver’s seat first. She briefly checked the car’s interior, made some simple adjustments, and after confirming that she was okay, invited Wen Tingye to get in the car.

Wen Tingye sat comfortably in the passenger seat, and Ning Yao started the car, heading towards the manor.

A lavender flower field estate, and a bedroom in an ancient castle.

After returning home and tidying herself up, Ning Yao lay on the bed and recalled what had happened that night.

Were those people Wen Tingye's enemies in Y country, or were they Duke Argyll's men who came specifically to deal with her?

The latter is more likely, since the incident occurred outside Jeffrey's workshop, and the cause was that she went to Jeffrey's to pick up a package.

If that's the case, tomorrow's itinerary needs to be changed, otherwise who knows what might happen at the airport...

Late at night, the castle lights were still on. Ning Yao drifted off to sleep in bed. She didn't know how much time had passed when she felt someone's breath evenly falling on her cheeks and nose.

Startled awake by the unusual noise, Ning Yao instinctively pulled a sharp dagger from under her pillow and stabbed it fiercely at the intruder in front of her.

The moment she opened her eyes, in the darkness, she vaguely saw a pair of deep, azure eyes.

Ning Yao's slender wrist was firmly grasped by a warm, large hand, and she soon heard that familiar, deep voice.

"Good alertness..."

The man effortlessly disarmed Ning Yao, tossing the dagger into a corner. He then pulled back the covers, lay down beside her, and pulled her into his arms. He slowly closed his eyes, as if preparing to sleep. Ning Yao squirmed uncomfortably, struggling violently, and muttered, "What are you doing!"
