Chapter 198 Recognizing His Son: Things Go Smoothly
Chapter 198 Recognizing His Son: Things Go Smoothly
After the dinner party ended, Ning Yao returned to her room. Her beautiful fox-like eyes were incredibly clear, showing no signs of drunkenness whatsoever.
She silently cleansed the alcohol from her blood using the spatial spring. Let alone four or five glasses of wine, even if she drank several more bottles, she would only feel bloated and would not get drunk.
Just as they were about to change clothes and rest, Cui Mengmeng's voice came from the doorway.
"Yaoyao, Assistant Director Ke needs to see you urgently."
Why is Assistant Director Ke looking for her at this time?
Ning Yao suspiciously zipped up her clothes and appeared before Cui Mengmeng, fully dressed.
“It’s too late. Xiao Jue and I will go with you.” Cui Mengmeng wasn’t stupid. She was also worried that Ning Yao might be in danger if she went so late, so she also brought Xiao Jue and two bodyguards from the small villa with her.
When Ning Yao arrived at the hotel, Assistant Director Ke didn't ask her to wait in her room. Instead, he chose a sofa outside the hotel lobby, which was considered a public area.
"Director Guo." Ning Yao greeted Assistant Director Ke from afar.
"Well, the script has changed a bit. Director Guo said that you might not be sober after drinking, and he asked me to tell you tomorrow. But I think tomorrow is too late. I have some free time now, so I'll just mention it to you."
Ning Yao didn't say much, but sat quietly on the sofa and nodded to show her understanding.
"The production team's investors added a new female supporting character. After reading the script, Director Guo thought the character was very outstanding, so he agreed to it."
"Here's the script. I'll show it to you so you can be mentally prepared, since you two have quite a few scenes together."
After finishing his sentence, Assistant Director Ke stood up and said with a smile, "Thank you for coming all this way. I was thinking of going over, but the bodyguards at the villa..."
"Go back and get some rest. I'm going up too."
"It's nothing, goodnight." After saying goodbye, Ning Yao sat on the sofa and started reading the script.
Indeed, the newly added female supporting character is very well-developed, and it could even be said that she is the soul of this drama.
This investor's screenwriter is quite good, but I don't know why...
Ning Yao stared at the script, lost in thought. She felt that the character was originally there, but had been deliberately erased, and now someone had found an opportunity to release it.
Cui Mengmeng yawned beside her, Ning Yao picked up the script, and the two of them, arm in arm, chatted and laughed as they returned to the small villa.
Ning Yao took a shower and lay comfortably on the bed, carefully flipping through the last few pages of the script, especially the part about the female supporting character. When she saw the name of the actress playing the female supporting character, a look of surprise quickly appeared in her eyes.
Wenna's name appeared abruptly on the script, and Ning Yao really didn't expect that the newly added female supporting character would be her roommate.
After entering the spiritual spring, Ning Yao soaked in the pool and gently closed her eyes amidst the drifting white mist.
Wenna's matter didn't bother Ning Yao for long before she shifted her attention.
"Elf, have you heard anything about my children lately?" Ning Yao's fair and smooth arm was lightly lifted from the spiritual spring water and placed on the dark rocks beside her, which were wet with spring water. Her posture was lazy and elegant.
"These past few days, while I was repairing the spacetime vortex, I discovered four black holes within it." The space spirit's mechanical voice rang out, its tone clearly one of doubt, yet no one could discern anything amiss.
"A black hole?" Ning Yao opened her eyes slightly, her worry evident in them.
"They no longer belong to their own time and space, and as for where they went, I cannot obtain any useful information at the moment."
"You mean they've disappeared again?" Ning Yao lost her appetite for soaking in the spiritual spring. She grabbed a white bathrobe from the side, wrapped it around herself, and went barefoot ashore, her voice cold and stern.
"I will do my best to find it." The elf was startled by Ning Yao's tone and quickly replied.
Ning Yao stared at the swirling white mist in the pool, and the image of Ning Moran involuntarily flashed through her mind.
If they no longer belong to their own time and space, could it be that they have already...?
"If we encounter them again, will the space of White Flame Blood Jade still be able to sense them?" Ning Yao asked, frowning.
"The embryos that the host nurtures in the space will no longer have any sensation after they reach the age of eighteen. They will become independent individuals and will be no different from normal people."
Upon hearing this, Ning Yao's heart skipped a beat.
The answer was right before her eyes: the look in Ning Moran's eyes when he looked at her, and the story he told her about himself and his mother.
The reason she seemed so familiar was because she was the female protagonist in the story, Ning Moran's mother!
Thinking of this, Ning Yao had no more interest in soaking in the spiritual spring. She rushed out of the space and, without even changing her clothes, made a video call to her son.
After making the call, Ning Yao realized that it was three in the morning and that making a phone call would really disturb her sleep.
Just as she was about to hang up, Ning Moran answered the phone quickly. A face in the darkness slowly came into view—it was indeed her handsome son!
Ning Moran was half asleep when his phone vibrated. He frowned, picked it up, and saw that it was Ning Yao calling. His eyes softened instantly, and he quickly turned on the bedside lamp and pressed the answer button.
When she received the call at this hour, Ning Moran was still a little nervous, worried that something might have happened to her mother.
"Mom, are you alright?"
Ning Yao stared at Ning Moran, her eyes red-rimmed, completely unaware that her hands were trembling so badly she could barely hold her phone.
After a long silence, Ning Yao didn't speak. Her throat felt dry and sore, making her feel extremely uncomfortable, and she couldn't utter a single word.
Ning Moran didn't urge her, and a gentle smile appeared on her face, subtly comforting her mother.
“You are my own son, right? You are Xiao Wu, you are my Xiao Wu…” Ning Yao gripped her phone tightly, her eyes seemingly trying to pierce through the screen.
Ning Moran's pupils suddenly shrank, as if he had been startled; that subtle change did not escape Ning Yao's notice.
After a long while, he softly called out "Mommy," just like when he was a child, gentle and clingy, with a touch of reserve.
Ning Yao could no longer stop her tears, which streamed down her face like a faucet being turned on.
Ning Moran chuckled softly and gently comforted her on the other end of the phone screen, "Mom, don't cry."
"How have you been all these years? Have you suffered? Who raised you?"
Ning Yao asked a series of questions, and Ning Moran held the phone in his palm, gently tracing the edge of the phone with his fingertips.
"Mom, it's very late now. I'll talk to you about these issues slowly after you get back to the capital. You should go to sleep now."
"Yes, yes, it's the middle of the night now. I shouldn't have called at this time. I'm sure I'll disturb your sleep. Mom will hang up now. Remember to cover yourself with the blanket. It's been cool at night lately, so don't turn the air conditioner up too high. It's best to keep the temperature around 25 degrees Celsius."
"Ranran, Mommy loves you. Goodnight, sweet dreams."
Ning Yao couldn't help but ramble on for a bit, wishing she could take a plane back to the capital right now.
After she finished speaking, she raised her hand to wipe away her tears, and only after the tears fell did her vision slowly return from its blurry state.
"Why would you disturb my sleep? I'm on call 24/7 just for you." Ning Moran, far away in the capital, stared at the video call that had already ended, her heart pounding.
It was like a dream; he and his mother were truly reunited.
He originally thought it would take a long time for his mother to accept the arrival of such a grown son.
Things went much more smoothly than expected, and Ning smiled faintly.
so good……
