Chapter 98 Jade Master, Crafting a Bracelet
Ning Yao's words caused the air inside the car to freeze instantly.
Ning Yao kept her eyes fixed on Robert, not intending to miss any subtle emotion on his face.
The other person didn't react in any way she expected; they simply looked at her calmly and asked with a smile, "When did you find out?"
"Back then, some people took my skin tissue to the hospital for testing and DNA verification to confirm that I am the eldest daughter of the Ning family. I just followed suit."
She had already noticed something was wrong, but confirming that Robert was Wen Tingye took a lot of effort, since Robert's skin flakes weren't so easy to collect.
"You're very smart." Wen Tingye praised Ning Yao, and after saying that, he took Ning Yao's hand and placed a light kiss on the back of her hand.
"I still have things to take care of, so I won't be able to go back to China with you. If you miss the two children, go find them."
"Wen Tingye, I'll say it again, I have nothing to do with you. I was drugged back then and couldn't control myself, that's why I was with you... This will never happen again, do you understand what I mean?" Ning Yao glanced at the back of her hand that Wen Tingye had kissed and awkwardly pulled her hand back.
"We've arrived." Wen Tingye didn't respond to Ning Yao's words, but pushed open the car door and got out.
Just when Ning Yao thought Wen Tingye was going to enter the castle alone, the car door on her side was opened from the outside, and Wen Tingye was standing by the car, holding out his palm to her.
Still in this dreamy lavender field at the manor, Wen Tingye, posing as Robert, asked her to get out of the car.
It was just a gentlemanly gesture. Ning Yao placed her hand in Wen Tingye's palm and, with his help, stepped out of the back seat of the car.
Wen Tingye himself is much better looking than Robert, but Robert's face is not bad either. He has a high and straight nose, deep facial features, and exudes the noble air of a Nordic prince, which matches the surrounding sea of flowers and castle perfectly.
What woman doesn't like a prince, especially one with a near-perfect appearance and physique?
Ning Yao even spent two hours with Wen Tingye in the swimming pool...
There was absolutely no sound around her; it was eerily quiet. Ning Yao could even hear her own heart pounding faster and faster in her chest.
Wen Tingye took in Ning Yao's dreamy eyes.
Wen Tingye picked Ning Yao up in his arms, and when he heard the woman's short gasp in his arms, his body felt even hotter.
Before Ning Yao could react, Wen Tingye's handsome face was already close to hers, and her lips were once again forcefully kissed by him. He held her lower lip in his mouth, gently biting and caressing it. Their breaths mingled, and they slowly began to lose control.
Wen Tingye doesn't like to get too close to women, except for Ning Yao. Ever since he met Ning Yao, he's been unable to stop himself from having her, and her face often flashes through his mind.
Wen Tingye kissed Ning Yao, his seductive, deep voice ringing in her ear.
"Ning Yao, you like it when I touch you, you feel it, don't you?"
What nonsense are you thinking!
Ning Yao's thoughts were exposed. She jumped out of Wen Tingye's arms, landed firmly on her feet, said a few words, and then quickened her pace, walking away without looking back.
Wen Tingye watched Ning Yao's adorable, embarrassed and angry expression from behind, and chuckled silently.
The next day, Wen Tingye indeed invited Bruce to the manor. The three of them sat on the sofa, and the atmosphere was awkward.
“Mr. Robert, I have something to discuss with Mr. Bruce privately.” Ning Yao’s meaning was clear: she wanted Wen Tingye to leave first, leaving her and Bruce alone.
But Wen Tingye seemed not to hear, still holding his exquisite European-style teacup, his expression cold and stern, sitting there as if no one else was around.
"No need, I just came to let you know, Miss Bella. The cooperation will proceed as scheduled, please rest assured. I have other matters to attend to, so I'll be leaving now. Mr. Robert, Miss Bella, goodbye."
Bruce finished speaking, stood up, and walked out.
Ning Yao was stunned by what he said, but she couldn't utter a single word.
So Bruce really just came to say one sentence to her and then left?
She glanced at the nonchalant Wen Tingye and sighed inwardly at how terrifying this man was. He could actually make Bruce willingly travel all the way here just to say something that could have been explained over the phone.
After Bruce left, Wen Tingye put down his teacup and glanced at Ning Yao.
"You're going back to China tomorrow, what are your plans for today?"
"I need to go out to Jeffrey's place to pick up something. We agreed to meet tonight."
Ning Yao intended to keep the other piece of glass-type jadeite for her daughter to make jewelry. She hired a jadeite processing master from Y country to design and polish it, which is why she postponed her return to China by one day.
The piece of glass-type pink jadeite was cut into three pieces and made into three women's bracelets. The chains were also carefully selected by Ning Yao, and the size could be adjusted at will, so that her three daughters could wear the bracelets no matter what age they were in the future.
"It's just to pick something up, you don't need to go in person, I'll arrange for someone to bring it back to you."
"No, I have to inspect it myself. This is a gift for my daughter, and I can't let someone else do it for me."
Ning Yao declined Wen Tingye's offer and still planned to go and get it herself.
Wen Tingye glanced at Ning Yao, remained silent for a while, and then made a phone call.
Ning Yao heard Wen Tingye say in fluent and authentic English, "The meeting time tonight will be postponed by two hours. I have other arrangements."
Wen Tingye only said this one sentence before hanging up the phone, his deep blue eyes looking at Ning Yao.
"I'll go with you to pick up the goods tonight."
"No need, you have something to do, go ahead and do your thing."
Although Ning Yao wasn't very familiar with Country Y, she had a driver to pick her up and drop her off. Even if she really needed someone to guide her, Wen Tingye could arrange a bodyguard for her. Why did he have to do it himself?
“That’s my daughter too.” Wen Tingye’s thin lips curled slightly, his expression a half-smile, clearly waiting for Ning Yao to refute him.
Yes, that's her daughter, and also Wen Tingye's daughter. Without Wen Tingye, she really couldn't have given birth to her on her own.
Ning Yao was speechless, wondering how she would explain to Wen Tingye that she had made three bracelets if he went there.
