Chapter 103 The popular actress is named Ning Duoduo
After being released from prison, Ning Yao got into the car without saying a word, while the driver sat in the driver's seat, quietly waiting for Ning Yao's instructions.
Ning Yao missed her children terribly, but the things she was about to do were extremely difficult, and she didn't want to involve them.
Moreover, once this matter is over, she plans to meet her child with her natural appearance, no longer hiding it.
Her identity had already been exposed by Lian Jiaorui, and even the elders of the Wen family knew. Even if the Ning family didn't know her identity yet, it was likely they couldn't hide it any longer. There was no point in using a human skin mask to cover her appearance. Ning Yao thought for a while and then said to the driver, "Back to the villa."
On the way back, we passed by the Imperial City Airport. For some reason, even though the light was green, the road was still severely congested.
Ning Yao felt the air inside the car was a bit stuffy, so she rolled down the window and lazily glanced out the window.
At the airport exit, a group of young fans were standing around a female celebrity, asking for her autograph. Their attitude was extremely crazy. They held up light sticks and kept shouting something in a mess. Ning Yao couldn't hear clearly, but she could vaguely make out the word "Duo".
Pushing through the crowd, Ning Yao looked curiously at the female celebrity who seemed to be surrounded by admirers, scrutinizing her.
The other person was indeed very beautiful, wearing a white shirt with a ladylike style, and the suit jacket in her hand looked like it had just been taken off, just hanging there casually. Although she had a smile on her face, it was a smile without saying a word, a cold and aloof look that kept people at a distance.
The female celebrity had a very kind face, and Ning Yao always felt that there was a strange sense of familiarity about her that she couldn't quite put her finger on.
Since she was a celebrity, Ning Yao thought she might have seen her on an electronic billboard or in an advertisement, but she dismissed the thought and didn't take it to heart.
Seemingly sensing that she was being watched, the female celebrity glanced at the car window, but because of the one-way glass, she couldn't see who was sitting inside. After looking for a while, she casually looked away and stopped looking.
"Ning Duoduo is much prettier in person than on TV. If I weren't driving you, I would have liked to ask her for an autograph too. My son is a huge fan of hers!" The driver said with a sigh as he gripped the steering wheel, seeing Ning Yao glance at the female celebrity.
Upon hearing the female celebrity's name, Ning Yao suddenly paused, as if remembering something, and remained silent for a long while.
The female celebrity left quickly, and the road was cleared after her departure.
On the way back to the villa, Ning Yao asked, "Ning Duoduo? Is she very famous?"
"You don't usually follow the entertainment industry, do you? Ning Duoduo is a newly crowned Best Actress, and she's about to become incredibly famous. She even won an award a few days ago. Oh right, it's the one in the currently popular drama 'Innocent and Romantic,' where Ning Duoduo is the female lead."
Ning Yao really didn't know. She didn't have time to watch dramas. She was busy with business or planning her revenge every day. She mostly watched financial news channels and never watched romance dramas that young people liked.
"She's the youngest Best Actress winner ever, her future is sure to be bright. Not only is she beautiful, but she's also so young yet so humble..." The driver seemed to be getting hooked on talking about her, constantly recommending this actress named Ning Duoduo to Ning Yao.
Thanks to the driver's constant nagging, Ning Yao's mind was filled with the name Ning Duoduo for the rest of the time.
After getting out of the car, Ning Yao glanced at the driver in the driver's seat. He was still excited, as if he hadn't yet recovered from the influence of the female celebrity Ning Duoduo. Ning Yao never chased after celebrities and didn't understand the psychological activities of these fans.
Ning Yao closed the car door behind her and walked into her house.
The villa was very empty. These days were the anniversary of Chen Ma's husband's death, and Ning Yao gave Chen Ma a holiday to go back to her hometown to sweep her husband's grave. As a result, there were only a few servants left in the house, and it was very quiet.
Ning Yao returned to her bedroom and closed the door behind her.
Those dark eyes now shimmered with a few sparkles. Ning Yao closed her eyelids slightly, her lips moved gently, and she entered the spiritual spring world.
It was time to talk to the space spirit about the child again. Ning Yao always arrived at the spirit spring with anticipation, and the spirit was already waiting.
"Is there any news about the child?" Ning Yao asked softly, standing on the bank of the Spirit Spring.
Whenever Ning Yao asked about the child, the space spirit would always reply with just four words: "All is well," and nothing more.
Even so, Ning Yao did not give up. For her, at least she knew that her children were living peacefully in other timelines, which was better than having no news at all. The unknown terrified her.
For some reason, Ning Yao had a strange feeling, and her woman's intuition told her that the feeling was related to the children.
Ning Yao was extremely anxious about the Space Elf's reply, hoping to hear good news beyond those four words.
"All is well." Those four words, like a curse, rang out again.
Ning Yao's eyes dimmed, and the strange feeling vanished completely with the words of the space spirit, as if it had never existed at all.
After leaving the spiritual spring in the space, Ning Yao poured herself a glass of red wine. The atmosphere in the entire bedroom was so oppressive that it almost suffocated her.
There was still no news of the children. Worry, loneliness, frustration, and self-blame all surged up at once, so Ning Yao had to drink heavily to numb herself with alcohol, as if once she was drunk, nothing had happened, the children were still there, hadn't been swept away by the time vortex, and weren't missing...
"Do you know how much I regret what I did to you?" Ning Yao muttered to herself, a tear sliding down her cheek. Her fingers loosened, and the wine glass shattered on the floor with a crisp sound.
These days, Ning Yao has been very withdrawn. No one in the family dares to mention the children. Even the children's rooms are kept tightly closed by Chen Ma. She has also moved Ning Yao's bedroom downstairs, for fear that Ning Yao will be reminded of the children's painful memories when she passes by the children's rooms on the second floor.
Ning Yao herself didn't dare go up to the second floor. It seemed that if she didn't go up to the second floor, the children would stay obediently in their rooms and never leave.
Ning Yao didn't remember how many drinks she had, but in her hazy state, she seemed to see Chen Ma return.
But Aunt Chen's vacation hasn't ended yet; she won't be back for at least another three days.
Was it a hallucination?
Ning Yao reached out her hand, still dazed, trying to grab Chen Ma's sleeve. She frowned in dissatisfaction and began to mutter to herself.
"Why don't you let the third, fourth, fifth, and sixth babies come out to keep me company? Chen Ma wasn't swept away by the time vortex, so why do you want me to see her?"
"How much did he drink? His family didn't keep an eye on him, sigh..."
"You can't keep pushing yourself like this. If you ruin your health, what will happen to the children when they come back? Who will take care of them?"
Chen Ma helped Ning Yao up from the sofa. Seeing how weak and frail she looked, she felt really sorry for her.
She knew that Ning Yao wouldn't let go of the children's matter so quickly, and she also knew that Ning Yao was lying to her when she said that the children had been found and were living well outside. She just didn't want her family to worry, so she swallowed all the pain by herself.
