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

Chapter 159: Only Experiments, Arrogance and Disregard for Everything

Ning Yao was shocked to hear Ning Moran say such a thing.

His story sounded somewhat familiar, and it touched a nerve with Ning Yao.

Ning Moran was dressed in a comfortable casual outfit. At this moment, her eyebrows were relaxed, and she looked at Ning Yao expectantly, just like a helpless child waiting for her mother's answer. All the cold feeling that used to be there was gone.

She also missed her children who had run away from home, and didn't know when she could reunite with them.

She only knows how to be a mother to a five-year-old child. Ning Yao has never been in contact with teenage boys before and is unsure of herself, especially since they are not related by blood.

Missing her child is one thing, but it has nothing to do with Ning Moran.

Ning Yao pondered for a while, preparing to refuse Ning Moran, when the spatial spring suddenly reacted to Ning Moran.

Ning Yao's heart skipped a beat. She stared at Ning Moran opposite her, her fingertips trembling slightly at her side, unable to contain her excitement.

Could the genius boy sitting in front of Ning Moran be her lost child?

Ning Yao tried to pull the boy in front of her into her own space, just like before.

Ultimately, the space couldn't contain Ning Moran...

The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. Perhaps because she thought of her child, Ning Yao's eyes suddenly reddened.

Ning Yao would not give up any hope. She needed to maintain contact with Ning Moran in order to learn more about him.

As time ticked by, Ning Moran unconsciously gripped the glass tightly, her teeth clenched even more taut.

"Okay." That single word seemed to have drained Ning Yao of a great deal of courage and rationality.

Ning Yao never imagined that she would recognize a strange biology genius son online, who was eighteen years old.

Ning Moran's eyes welled up with tears. He silently lowered his head, quickly composed himself, and when he looked up again, he was all smiles, radiating the youthful energy unique to a boy his age—clean and warm.

After finishing their meal, the mother and son walked out of the restaurant side by side.

Ning Moran suggested that Ning Yao visit his laboratory, which was filled with all sorts of novel gadgets, and Ning Yao readily agreed.

Ning Moran drove Ning Yao himself. After Ning Yao sat in the passenger seat, he turned over and gently fastened her seatbelt.

The laboratory was far from the city center, and Ning Moran talked to Ning Yao about the kidnapping case while driving.

After much deliberation, he decided to tell Ning Yao about Hu Mingyu, so that the man wouldn't do anything to hurt her again.

"So it was him." Ning Yao was a little surprised when she heard Hu Mingyu's name, but she quickly accepted the truth.

She had already experienced the coldness and cruelty of the world; she had been deceived by Ning Fengtai, bullied by her stepmother and stepsister, and even her mother had been murdered. She herself...

She's been through enough; one more setback won't make a difference.

Ning Moran didn't expect Ning Yao to accept it so quickly, after all, she had trusted Hu Mingyu so much and personally gave him the medicine.

However, seeing that Ning Yao accepted it quickly, Ning Moran was not so worried anymore; it was a good thing that she was open-minded.

He hesitated before, unsure whether he should speak up, because he was worried that Ning Yao wouldn't be able to accept betrayal from someone she trusted.

Seeing Ning Moran's puzzled expression, Ning Yao explained it to him.

"He probably had his reasons for doing this..."

"Actually, Hu Mingyu isn't all that bad. He still wanted to save Madam Wen. Otherwise, he wouldn't have just used some tricks to make her lose her memory. He could have just taken her life."

"I'm just curious why Hu Mingyu is helping Lian Jiaorui. I could understand it if it were Lian Qiran helping Lian Jiaorui, but it's Hu Mingyu..."

Hu Mingyu seems to have absolutely no connection with Lian Jiaorui, so even if he were to help her, he would need a reason.

"We're here." Ning Moran parked the car, got out, opened the car door for Ning Yao, and raised his hand above Ning Yao's head to protect her from hitting her head on the car roof.

When Ning Moran appeared outside the laboratory with a young girl, his assistant was so shocked that his eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

He looked at the girl next to Ning Moran, rubbed his eyes three times, and finally confirmed that it was not a hallucination.

Ning Moran did indeed bring a woman to the laboratory, and he smiled very gently, his eyes filled with doting affection.

Has Ning Moran taken the wrong medicine? He never lets strangers into his lab!

Ning Yao noticed that Ning Moran's assistant had his mouth slightly open and was looking at her strangely. She assumed that he had recognized her as the protagonist of the kidnapping case that had recently gone viral online, and didn't take it to heart.

Ning Moran's laboratory was neat and orderly. There wasn't a speck of dust in the entire room. It was smooth, white, and full of technological feel.

"Mom, this is where I usually do my experiments; it's like my private studio."

"It's pretty good, just a little small..."

"Mom will buy you a bigger house later. You can decorate it however you like, in your preferred style."

Ning Yao genuinely felt that the 100-square-meter laboratory was a bit small.

Her son deserves to use the best laboratory; she doesn't need to worry about the cost at all—she has plenty of money!

“You don’t need to buy it for me. I’ll be receiving a CKLS series international prize money for fungal biology soon. If you have any bags, clothes, or jewelry you like, just let me know,” Ning Moran said to Ning Yao in a serious tone, her smile gentle yet deadly.

To the assistant standing nearby, the conversation between Ning Yao and Ning Moran was practically a real-life clash of the original Versailles.

Is this still the Dr. Ning he knows?

Today, Dr. Ning spoke more than ten times more than usual; this man who is usually very concise was now chatting and laughing animatedly.

What surprised him even more was that Dr. Ning actually called the little girl "Mom"...

He really didn't expect that Dr. Ning, who was a generation younger than him, would have so much fun in private.

Calling your girlfriend "Mom" is the same principle as a girl calling her boyfriend "Dad"—it's all about provoking her!

Even if the assistant considers himself well-informed and experienced, he's starting to lose his composure...

Ning Moran's phone suddenly rang. He took out his phone, glanced at it, and said apologetically to Ning Yao, "Mom, I'm going to take this call next door. This is my assistant. You can ask him anything you want to know."

"It's alright, you go ahead and do your work." Ning Yao waved her hand considerately, indicating that it was okay for Ning Moran.

After Ning Moran left, Ning Yao wandered around the laboratory by herself.

Throughout the entire time, the assistant's eyes remained fixed on her, never leaving her.

Ning Yao felt that her assistant was looking at her strangely, so she had no choice but to endure the strange gaze and find something to do.

The assistant seemed to realize that he was paying too much attention to Ning Yao, and raised his hand to scratch his head.

"I'm sorry, Miss Ning Yao, I didn't mean to offend you."

"But this is the first time Dr. Ning has brought someone to visit the lab, and I'm really curious about you."

"It's okay." Ning Yao shook her head, indicating that she didn't take it to heart. Then she lowered her head and thought for a while before asking, "How long does Ranran usually work?"

"His lounge is right next door. He spends almost 24 hours a day in the lab and generally doesn't see anyone except for necessary meetings," the assistant replied truthfully.

If he hadn't seen Ning Moran bring Ning Yao to the lab today, he probably wouldn't have been able to shake off his stereotype of Ning Moran.

In his eyes, Ning Moran was a biological research fanatic who only cared about experiments and looked down on everything else.
