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

Chapter 592 Eye Contact, A Heart-Pounding Flutter

"Why did you decide to come on this variety show, Mr. Huo?" Ning Yao looked at Huo Zhijing and raised an eyebrow as she asked.

Her tone seemed relaxed and casual, but a dark glint flashed in her eyes.

"I've been watching Taoyuan Life's live streams lately, and I find them very interesting." Huo Zhijing softened his tone for the last part of the sentence, and intentionally or unintentionally turned his gaze to Ning Yao.

Before Ning Yao could speak, Huo Zhijing quickly looked away and smiled, "Actually, I came here because of your reputation and to ask Miss Luo to treat my illness."

"Is Mr. Huo not feeling well?"

"Yes, I have some hidden health issues that are not convenient to discuss on the live stream."

"A hidden illness? Then you should go to the hospital."

“I’ve been to the hospital, but the doctors couldn’t do anything. Western medicine didn’t work, so I wanted to try traditional Chinese medicine.”

"Okay, I'll take your pulse during the broadcast." Ning Yao hesitated for a moment, but still agreed.

If Huo Zhijing had approached her privately, she might not have agreed. But now that it's on a live stream, Bao Ying and Huo Wanwan will see it. Her open refusal of her daughter's best friend's father's request for medical treatment will inevitably affect the relationship between her daughter and her friend, which is something Ning Yao is unwilling to see.

"It's a deal." Huo Zhijing smiled, his gaze towards Ning Yao softening.

Huo Zhijing was very pleased with Ning Yao's straightforwardness, and he openly showed this pleasure on his face.

[A hidden ailment? A problem that can be called a hidden ailment, especially one affecting a man, is most likely that kind of disease, right? That's a bit intriguing...]

[They took his pulse after the broadcast ended? Can't they take his pulse now? I'm really curious what illness Mr. Huo has!]

[President Huo seems quite normal, and he does have children, right? Rumor has it he's married and has a daughter, doesn't he?]

[They've been divorced for a long time. Maybe his ex-wife divorced him because of his hidden illness. A man can be poor, unattractive, or lack status, but he absolutely cannot lack 'manly dignity.' Otherwise, what's the difference between a woman who stays with him and a widow?]

Ning Yao had just agreed to the consultation when Huo Zhijing's phone rang.

He took out his phone, glanced apologetically at Ning Yao, and then slowly answered the call.

The person on the other end of the phone didn't say a word; there was an eerie silence. Although they weren't speaking, there was a chilling sense of oppression about them.

Finally, after a long silence, the call ended.

Anyone else would have hung up long ago upon hearing such a call, or would have been terrified. But Huo Zhijing didn't take it seriously. He put away his phone and continued to follow Ning Yao to find the beehive and harvest honey.

Xue Jiashu and Wen Na worked hard in the fields from dawn till dusk, and in the end, they still earned a lot of Taoyuan coins.

For no other reason than to be able to eat at the same table as Ning Yao when exchanging ingredients.

After Ning Yao and Huo Zhijing finished picking honey, they returned to the cabin. Upon seeing this, Xue Jiashu immediately went to greet them.

"I dug two baskets of bamboo shoots today and got six Peach Blossom Coins. I exchanged them for your favorite fish. How about we have fish for dinner tonight?"

Xue Jiashu had never eaten it before, but after trying it, he truly fell in love with Ning Yao's cooking and felt a little unsatisfied.

The director, however, was not happy. He felt that if a dish was made once, the audience would get tired of it. For the sake of ratings, it was better to come up with something fresh and interesting.

So the director frantically gestured to Ning Yao, hoping she could cook some other dishes.

Since she couldn't speak, the director arranged for Yan Xuexing to write a message on a whiteboard for Ning Yao and then hold it up to show her.

Ning Yao didn't really want to eat fish. It's not that she likes fish, but she just happened to see that the fish prepared by the production team yesterday looked pretty good, so she decided to give it a try.

"Mr. Huo is a new guest. Why don't you choose the ingredients, Mr. Huo?" Ning Yao turned her gaze to Huo Zhijing.

“I’m also craving fish. When I saw the steamed fish you made in your live stream, I was wondering if I’d ever have a chance to eat it. Now the opportunity has come.” Huo Zhijing said, pursing his lips as if he was really craving the fish Ning Yao made.

[Is Mr. Huo really this down-to-earth? I thought these CEOs in the wealthy circle were always cold and unsmiling.]

[Mr. Huo is craving it. It seems the goddess's cooking is really delicious. Who would have thought that Mr. Huo, who holds a high position, would participate in a variety show just for a bite to eat?]

The director expressed his helplessness regarding Huo Zhijing's disregard for the production team's requests. However, the production team could not afford to offend someone like Huo Zhijing. If Mr. Huo wanted to eat fish, then even if they did not want to show the same cooking process to the audience, they still had to do so.

"But I don't want to cook fish today."

Ning Yao's words saved the entire production team, and the director's eyes lit up instantly upon hearing them.

They originally thought that a female artist of Ning Yao's status would not care about anyone's requests at all; she could be extremely self-centered, and no one would dare to say a bad word about her.

However, Ning Yao saw the sign held up by Yan Xuexing and calmly rejected Huo Zhijing.

The director was deeply grateful and even felt that it was no wonder that actress Ning Yao had become popular; she was never arrogant or domineering.

But Ning Yao really didn't want to eat fish, nor did she want to comply with Huo Zhijing's request. She felt like someone was watching this scene, and she felt a pang of jealousy, but she forced herself not to express it.

Thinking of this, Ning Yao turned her head to look at the camera lens closest to her, her clear fox eyes revealing a hint of amusement.

Wen Tingye was staring at the live stream interface when his eyes met Ning Yao's the next second, and he felt a sudden flutter in his heart.

"Miss Luo!" An excited shout instantly drew the attention of all the viewers in the live broadcast room.

Xiaoya's mother led the child back up to the door of the cabin, and as soon as they entered, they ran towards Ning Yao.

"My daughter Xiaoya's face is all better now. The acne has scabbed over and healed, leaving only a few pink marks. The medicine you gave me is so effective!"

If Ning Yao hadn't been quick-witted and agile, Xiao Ya's mother would have knelt down and kowtowed to Ning Yao on the spot.

At this moment, the cameraman turned the lens to the girl named Xiaoya. Sure enough, her face had recovered by more than half, and her skin had visibly improved. Although there were still some faint marks, they were not noticeable unless you looked closely.

Is this really the girl with the face full of acne? Did she get a face transplant?

[Her previous face couldn't have been created with special effects, so is Luo Xiyao a real-life miracle doctor?]

[It must have been covered up by foundation and concealer. How could there be such a drastic change in just one day? Even cosmetic procedures wouldn't dare to produce such immediate results.]

Before the mother and daughter entered the filming location, their consent had been obtained. Xiao Ya didn't even wear a mask, clearly showing her confidence in her face. The timid girl from before was gone, replaced by a confident and sunny young woman.

The camera zoomed in on Xiaoya, and under such high-definition lens, not a single trace could escape the discerning eyes of the audience.

The previous Xiaoya wasn't wearing makeup, and neither is the current Xiaoya; both times it's her real skin condition.

As a result, those who had previously questioned Ning Yao fell silent, while Ning Yao's fans flooded the screen with comments expressing their feelings.

Is this medicine still available? Can I buy it outside? I want to buy a whole case; my skin has been in really bad condition lately, and I'm afraid to go out and see anyone.

That ointment is clearly a substandard product, made by hand, and not even in a properly sterilized environment. Who knows if it contains bacteria or microorganisms?

[It's working so fast, I don't believe the ointment didn't contain hormones. Luo Xiyao probably added something else during the manufacturing process, I suspect it was hormones. It looks good now, but it's only a short-term effect; my face will be ruined afterward!]

[If there really was a problem, how could that little girl's face have healed so quickly? Goddess, don't pay attention to these haters, we support you!]
