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

Chapter 599 Do what you're supposed to do.

Ning Yao slept soundly. In her dream, she had retired, and Wen Tingye no longer cared about company affairs or the training of mercenaries.

The two of them settled down in a suburban villa with a stunning view. All in all, they only spent one or two months a year at home. The rest of the time they were either on vacation abroad or on cruise ships or planes to their vacations. They lived a very comfortable and carefree life.

But when Ning Yao woke up, she realized it was just a dream. She was only in her early twenties, how could she retire?

Ning Yao pouted, got up, washed up, changed her clothes, and prepared to go out. She was going to the company today and talk to Chen Xuezong about the shares.

Since she returned to China, Chen Xuezong has been handling all the affairs of the company, big and small. Whether in terms of ability or contribution, Chen Xuezong should have more shares, which is what he deserves.

Just then, her phone rang. Ning Yao picked it up and saw that it was a call from her daughter's agent, Mu Jie.

It's seven in the morning, and Ning Yao has a bad feeling about the phone call so early.

Suppressing the urge, Ning Yao answered the phone.

"Sister Ningyao, something has happened to Duoduo."

"what?"

After hanging up the phone, Ning Yao, with a serious expression, drove with Guan Ying to Ning Duoduo's residence.

Ning Duoduo showed signs of depression again, locking herself in her room and refusing to see anyone.

Ning Yao ran upstairs breathlessly. When she saw Mu Jie looking worried at the door, her eyes narrowed instantly. She then adjusted her breathing, softened her tone, and began to knock on the door, calling her daughter Duo Duo's name.

Ning Duoduo remained silent inside, but Mu Jie dared not let anyone break down the door, lest she frighten Ning Duoduo unprepared and worsen her condition.

Ning Duoduo treats Ning Yao differently; they have a very good relationship. Mu Jie also knows that Ning Yao is Ning Duoduo's mother, but she is surprised by the age difference between the two. Ning Yao is actually seven or eight years younger than her, yet she already has a nineteen-year-old daughter.

Ning Yao didn't ask anything. Mu Jie had already told her everything she needed to know on the way.

My daughter's emotional problems have flared up again, and they're completely out of control. She's locked herself in her room.

What exactly did Ning Duoduo go through? Why does she always act like nothing happened in front of her, but then have frequent episodes when she's alone? A series of questions gradually overwhelmed Ning Yao, making her extremely anxious.

Ning Yao originally thought her daughter's condition had improved, as she clearly didn't see any signs of illness in her daughter.

However, Ning Yao clearly forgot that Ning Duoduo's main job was as an actress. Her specialty was acting, and if she wanted to pretend to be cured, no one would notice because her acting skills were too superb.

Ning Yao would knock on the door every now and then, but there was no response from inside. Impatient, Ning Yao didn't care about anything else, so she raised her foot, gathered her strength, and kicked the locked door open.

After the loud crash, the door shattered, revealing the scene inside to the group.

Almost nothing inside was intact. Clothes were torn to shreds, scraps of cloth littered the floor, bottles lay scattered on the ground, and wine stains stained the broken glass. The room reeked of alcohol, a pungent and unpleasant odor.

Ning Duoduo was nowhere to be seen; at first glance, she was not in the house.

Mu Jie was extremely anxious and immediately turned around and walked out, calling the security guards on duty at the villa as she went.

"Go check the villa's security camera footage right now to see where Duoduo is, where she came from, and when she left!"

Guan Ying also frowned, wanting to help Mu Jie, but worried that Boss Ning would be unsafe alone after she left.

Why didn't Boss Ning react at all? Her daughter wasn't in the house, she was missing. Wasn't she worried?

With this question in mind, Guan Ying suddenly stopped and turned around to look at Ning Yao, only to see Ning Yao walking step by step towards the wardrobe in the room.

A thought popped into Guan Ying's mind, but she quickly suppressed it. She stopped moving and making no sound, simply standing quietly to the side, ready to step forward and help Boss Ning rescue people if necessary.

Ning Yao approached the wardrobe step by step. She reached out and decisively pulled open the wardrobe door handle. Inside, a curled-up figure came into Ning Yao's view. The small figure looked so frail and weak, with its head in its hands, occasionally letting out a soft, almost inaudible sob.

Ning Yao felt as if something was tearing at her heart, and the pain made her gasp.

After calming herself down in a very short time, Ning Yao stepped forward and gently leaned in. Instead of pulling Ning Duoduo out, she took a long stride and crawled into the wardrobe. She simply sat down next to Ning Duoduo without reaching out or making a sound, and didn't even touch her with the hem of her clothes.

The mother and daughter sat quietly without saying a word, while Guan Ying stood outside the door, protecting them like a guardian.

After an unknown amount of time, Mu Jie and her team searched the house and checked the security camera footage. Finding that the person had not left, they returned looking bewildered. Upon their return, they saw the scene inside the wardrobe and were speechless with shock.

It turned out that Ning Duoduo was in the closet and hadn't gone out. Ning Yao had obviously found Ning Duoduo and was now looking at her daughter tenderly, gently patting her back.

Ning Duoduo initially wanted to shrink back and hide, but after smelling Ning Yao's familiar scent, she gradually relaxed her tense body and slowly stopped crying.

Seeing that Ning Duoduo's expression had returned to normal and her eyes were focused again, Ning Yao didn't say anything and walked out of the wardrobe.

Ning Duoduo noticed Ning Yao leaving, and her nerves tensed up for a moment, but the next second, she was soothed by Ning Yao's voice.

"Is there any food in the fridge? I'll go make something for Duoduo," Ning Yao asked softly, glancing up at Mu Jie standing at the door.

Her voice was calm and steady, showing neither anxiety about Ning Duoduo's abnormal behavior nor blame for Mu Jie, the agent who was taking care of her daughter.

"It should be available. If you need anything, just let me know, and I'll place an order now and it will be delivered in half an hour," Mu Jie replied quickly.

"I'm going to the kitchen first. You all go do what you need to do, but don't crowd around Duoduo," Ning Yao said before leaving.

At times like these, what Ning Duoduo needs most is not comfort and concern, but her own space, which will actually reduce her pressure.

Mu Jie had some doubts about Ning Yao's instructions. Could Ning Duoduo be left alone at this time? What if they all left and Ning Duoduo became distraught?

Just thinking about the tragic consequences for some celebrities in the entertainment industry makes Mu Jie's heart heavy.

When Guan Ying saw that Mu Jie wouldn't leave, she forcibly stepped forward and pulled her away in a few quick movements, giving Mu Jie no chance to resist.

Mu Jie looked at the icy female bodyguard who was carrying her away like a bag of rice, both amused and exasperated, and inwardly sighed at Ning Yao's intimidating power.

This person really follows Ning Yao's lead blindly; whatever she says goes.

Not only did Guan Ying herself have to obey Ning Yao's words, but she also dragged everyone around her into it; her actions were truly domineering...
