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

Chapter 107 Is Ning Yao a human or a ghost?

"Okay, I understand." Ning Yao hung up the phone, took a deep breath, and her beautiful collarbone twitched slightly as she inhaled.

Everything was going according to her plan and as she expected.

Standing in front of the mirror, Ning Yao examined herself. She had removed the human skin mask from her face, revealing her true appearance.

She rarely sees her own face, living every day wearing two layers of human skin masks, and has almost forgotten what she looks like.

The woman in the mirror had long, thick, black hair with slightly curled ends, draped over her slender shoulders. Her hair was tucked behind her ears, revealing the outline of her fair and delicate ears. She had bright, clear fox-like eyes, a pert nose, and slightly pouting lips. Ning Yao's appearance was almost excessively beautiful.

If it weren't for her incredibly hot figure, she would look like a recent college graduate—pure, beautiful, radiating charm, otherworldly, with an angelic face and a devilish figure, like a character straight out of a comic book.

After changing her clothes and putting on makeup, Ning Yao left the villa.

Chen Xuezong and Yang Dongcha were already waiting. The two stood by the car, one on the left and one on the right, smiling as they looked at Ning Yao walking out of the gate.

Chen Xuezong's heart skipped a beat, and his eyes were glued to the car, completely forgetting to open the car door for Ning Yao.

Yang Dongcha also stared at Ning Yao, looking her up and down, like a hungry wolf eyeing a little white rabbit, as improper as could be.

"Are you sure you want to dress like this to that scumbag's engagement party? I'm afraid Shen Haoxuan will regret it when he sees you like this, and he'll slap himself twice, regretting that he didn't choose a beauty like you and instead picked a defective one!"

"You're so beautiful it's unreal! Let me pinch your cheeks and see if this is your real face!" With that, Yang Dongcha pounced forward and reached out to rub Ning Yao's face without any hesitation.

Ning Yao raised an eyebrow, nimbly retreating in her high heels to dodge Yang Dongcha's attack, and replied with a smile, "No need for pinching, it's the real deal!"

"No wonder Chen Xuezong has always been so devoted to you. If I were a man, I would probably fall at your feet too!" Yang Dongcha wanted to express her infatuation with eyes full of hearts, staring straight at Ning Yao, unable to get enough of looking at her.

Before Ning Yao could say anything, Chen Xuezong suddenly spoke up, quietly defending himself.

"I'm not as superficial as you think. This is the first time I've seen Yao Yao's real appearance."

Yang Dongcha shrugged, clearly not taking Chen Xuezong's words to heart.

Chen Xuezong opened the car door for Ning Yao, and Yang Dongcha smiled and took Ning Yao's arm, the two of them protecting her like bodyguards.

Ning Yao was touched, but her face remained expressionless. She gently curved her lips, silently got into the car, and her eyes were filled with tender glimmers.

In the banquet hall on the nineteenth floor of the Imperial City International Hotel, soothing and pleasant light music floated in the air.

Shen Haoxuan and Ning Man's engagement banquet was held as scheduled. The newlyweds smiled and invited the guests who came to the wedding into the hall one by one. Ning Man moved her feet carefully, afraid that she might fall to the ground if she didn't step on her high heels properly, which would be embarrassing.

The engagement banquet was very grand, inviting almost all the prominent figures in the capital. The Ning family also invited many people, including relatives and friends of friends. Ning Man sent invitations to everyone she knew.

Marrying into the Shen family and becoming a wealthy lady is a great joy, and it's best to make a big fuss about it.

Shen Jiangming came at the invitation, and Ning Man, who had been following Shen Haoxuan, naturally saw Shen Jiangming as well.

It wasn't until the day of their engagement that she learned that Shen Haoxuan had such a connection with the Shen family.

Shen Haoxuan is a distant relative of Shen Jiangming's family from a different clan. They share the same surname, Shen, but they rarely interact. For some reason, he has come to their engagement banquet today.

Ning Man had seen Shen Jiangming in the news. If the five major families of the capital city are the top of the pyramid of the upper class, then the second level is where Shen Jiangming's family is located.

Marrying Shen Haoxuan was Ning Man's first step in getting the Ning family into high society. Now, with the added connection of Shen Jiangming, Ning Man felt like she had struck gold. She was so happy she almost fainted on the spot. While Shen Haoxuan was entertaining Shen Jiangming, she told Ning Fengtai and Feng Meiyi the news.

"Are you telling the truth?" Ning Fengtai's face lit up with joy, his palms sweating with nervousness.

“Yes, I saw it with my own eyes. Brother Haoxuan and Young Master Shen Jiangming seem to have a very good relationship,” Ning Man said.

"Don't just stand there in front of us. Go and help Haoxuan entertain our distinguished guests. You need to get to know them better yourself." Feng Meiyi raised her hand and nudged Ning Man's waist, urging her to go back quickly and not be impolite.

Ning Man nodded in agreement, quickly lifted her skirt, and returned to Shen Haoxuan's side.

The banquet hall had fantastic lighting effects and a very high-class feel. Even the musicians were personally selected by Shen Haoxuan and specially invited from abroad.

Shen Haoxuan's family company has been doing well in recent years and has made a lot of money, so naturally they want to take advantage of the happy occasion of his wedding to show off in front of others.

Shen Jiangming's purpose in coming here was also to win over Shen Haoxuan. The Shen family has declined, and it is time to unite the family. Shen Haoxuan's family company is the only Shen family that has recently become popular in the capital.

Shen Jiangming was also following his father's wishes and came specifically to support Shen Haoxuan.

There were many young masters and ladies in the banquet hall, each with their own purpose for attending the banquet, mainly to socialize and build connections.

Ning Man was already quite beautiful, and with heavy makeup, she was even more radiant, making many socialites in high society pale in comparison.

Shen Haoxuan felt very proud and his attitude towards Ning Man became much gentler, more considerate and gentlemanly.

Ning Man was in a great mood, her chin unconsciously tilting slightly as she affectionately linked arms with Shen Haoxuan, showing off their love throughout the banquet hall.

The host began to take charge of the event. Ning Man looked reluctant and parted from Shen Haoxuan with a coquettish expression. She then walked to her father, Ning Fengtai, who would escort her onto the stage and personally hand her hand to Shen Haoxuan.

The entertainment gossip reporters hired by the Ning family set up cameras nearby and took pictures from various angles, with Ning Man naturally being the subject of their shots.

Ning Man straightened her chest, noticing many eyes staring at her. She raised her hand to brush a stray hair behind her ear, beaming with pride.

"Let's invite the beautiful leading lady of today's banquet to the stage!" the host shouted, enlivening the atmosphere.

Ning Man placed her hand, clad in a white gauze glove, in Ning Fengtai's palm. After stepping onto the stairs, she deliberately slowed her pace, her gaze unconsciously glancing towards the camera, wanting to capture more close-up photos of herself in her beautiful wedding dress.

Ning Fengtai was being led by the arm by his daughter, a loving father's smile on his face. Although he was middle-aged, Ning Fengtai looked only in his thirties or forties because he was well-maintained. His beard was neatly trimmed, and he was dressed in an expensive bespoke suit, looking very presentable.

After handing his daughter over to Shen Haoxuan, Ning Fengtai looked at the guests below the stage and cleared his throat in a pretentious manner.

Before he could speak, the banquet hall door was suddenly pushed open, and a woman in high heels appeared in everyone's sight.

Upon hearing the sound, Feng Meiyi looked over and saw Ning Yao. Her face turned pale instantly, and she staggered to her feet.

"You... are you a human or a ghost!" She stretched out her hand, pointing at Ning Yao with a trembling expression, as if she had seen a ghost.
