As she kept scrolling, one private message successfully caught Jin Qiao’s attention.
【Why didn’t you come out when I asked you to go drinking? Did something happen?】
The account’s profile picture was just a plain black image. Its homepage had nothing distinctive either—it was clearly a newly created throwaway account.
Who even was this person?
The way they spoke made it sound like they were very familiar with her.
Jin Qiao tapped into the chat and replied:
“Who are you?”
The other side never responded.
Jin Qiao didn’t think too much about it and happily continued reading through the private messages.
Soon enough, the first episode of the show officially aired at six in the evening.
The content was mostly footage from the livestreams, but with additional little bonus clips inserted to attract more viewers and increase view counts.
Jin Qiao sat on the sofa holding Yu Siyi in her arms, genuinely curious about what extra scenes had been added.
Since her family wasn’t the first one featured, she had no patience to watch the other families and immediately skipped straight to her own segment while enthusiastically munching on potato chips.
The first scene wasn’t from the second day’s livestream at all—it was footage from the morning the cameras were installed.
It showed her secretly taking pictures of Yu Siyi, which eventually led to him wanting to go take photos together.
The moment viewers saw this scene, the comments became completely unified.
【Mrs. Jin Qiao, please immediately release the photos from your phone. 📢📢📢】
Jin Qiao didn’t understand what was so worth broadcasting about that.
Until—
She saw the scene of herself sneaking into the kitchen to ask for Yu An’s phone number!
She jolted upright instantly.
Damn it!
There were cameras in the kitchen too?!
【That excuse she made up almost convinced even me.】
【I’m really starting to believe those rumors now—Jin Qiao and her rich husband genuinely aren’t close.】
【Seriously, go read that gossip thread exposing Jin Qiao. The more you read it, the more believable it feels.】
【Not close, but she still has an adorable son and endless money. I’m already crying from jealousy.】
【A husband who never comes home but never cuts off the money either… I can’t imagine how comfortable and free Jin Qiao’s life must be.】
【Sister’s life is my dream.】
【Aren’t wealthy families basically all like this? What’s so strange about it?】
Reading the comments, Jin Qiao puffed out her cheeks and muttered unhappily,
“Tch. Why don’t I feel like my life is all that free and carefree?”
The production team really understood one thing perfectly:
The more something could spark online discussion, the more they’d air it.
At the very end came a solo interview with the policewoman from before.
She confirmed that the two people really were child traffickers who specialized in kidnapping children, then seriously warned viewers to always pay attention to both their own safety and the safety of their children.
【Everyone really needs to stay safe. Human traffickers’ methods are getting more advanced too.】
【Whether you’re a boy or a girl, protect yourselves properly.】
【Trust your instincts. If a place feels wrong the moment you arrive, leave immediately. Curiosity really can kill the cat!!】
【Got it, got it.】
【I hope all of you strangers out there stay safe and sound.】
Meanwhile, Yu Siyi watched the entire thing with sparkling eyes.
Seeing his mother kick the bad guy flying—and hearing the policewoman confirm those people were indeed criminals—made Jin Qiao’s status in her son’s heart rise to an entirely new level.
Facing the worshipful gaze from her son, Jin Qiao awkwardly looked away.
Phew…
She felt so guilty.
[Mommy, I want to learn this too.]
Yu Siyi jumped off the sofa and stood in front of Jin Qiao, imitating the motion of kicking someone away before pointing at the TV and then at himself.
“You want to learn this? Then should Mommy sign you up for taekwondo classes?”
Yu Siyi immediately nodded enthusiastically!
If he learned this, then when they encountered bad people in the future, he could protect Mommy.
Jin Qiao hadn’t expected him to agree so quickly.
This tiny little body learning taekwondo…
The image instantly appeared in her mind, and she couldn’t stop herself from laughing.
Too cute.
Yu Siyi lay across her lap and stared at her in confusion.
She quickly held back her laughter and forced on a serious tone.
“Learning this is really hard, you know. Are you sure?”
But Yu Siyi nodded again without even thinking.
Jin Qiao pressed a hand to her forehead.
After some thought, she opened her phone, searched for taekwondo training videos, and handed the phone to him.
She had specifically chosen a particularly exhausting-looking training video.
He needed to understand that he couldn’t treat this like a temporary whim. That kind of attitude was bad.
Watching the video, Yu Siyi propped up his little head with one hand and thought seriously.
It really didn’t look as simple as he’d imagined.
But…
If he didn’t learn it, then he’d never have a chance to kick bad guys away.
Maybe he’d even get kicked away by bad guys instead.
Learn!
He had to learn!
Pointing at the training footage on the phone, he nodded solemnly at Jin Qiao.
Jin Qiao felt extremely gratified.
“No problem. Leave it to Mommy to arrange everything for you. Then you can show me what you learn later, okay?”
No problem!
Inside Yu Siyi’s little head, he was already imagining himself becoming super super powerful, and he couldn’t stop giggling while covering his mouth.
At that moment, the sound of the door opening rang out.
Seeing Yu An return home, Yu Siyi immediately charged toward him like a tiny cannonball, demanding to be picked up.
He excitedly waved his fists through the air.
Jin Qiao glanced over once before immediately turning back to stare very seriously at the television.
Why was he back again?
This was getting awkward!
Watching TV was better. TV was safe.
Holding his son, Yu An walked over and sat on the sofa.
Yu Siyi grabbed Jin Qiao’s phone and showed his father the taekwondo video that had just been playing.
Blinking his large eyes, he stared at Yu An.
He really wanted to know whether Daddy would support him.
What would Daddy say?
“Can you stick with it?”
Yu An neither directly approved nor rejected the idea. Instead, he asked the exact same question Jin Qiao had earlier.
Yu Siyi remained just as determined.
Feeling the child’s resolve, Yu An gave a quiet hum in acknowledgment.
It was good for boys to learn some self-defense.
He supported it.
“Do you need me to hire a private instructor to teach at home?”
Yu An looked toward Jin Qiao.
The woman sat there stiffly pretending to focus on the TV.
Seeing that she ignored him completely, he reached out and poked her.
The poke startled Jin Qiao so badly she nearly jumped on the spot.
This man—
Last night he’d looked at her like some abandoned lover, and now he was acting as if nothing had happened?!
Could it be she was the only one overthinking things?!
Jin Qiao, you’re doomed.
“Ah? Were you asking me?”
Realizing her expression looked far too stiff, she immediately forced herself into a calm face.
“You should ask your son about that. It depends on what kind of learning environment he prefers.”
After speaking, both adults turned to look at Yu Siyi.
Now it was his turn to fall into deep thought.
He didn’t really dare attend classes together with a large group of children.
But in the videos Mommy had shown him earlier, all the other kids trained together in groups.
Still…
He was scared.
Jin Qiao had originally expected Yu An to say something, but instead the man just kept staring at her.
Seeing her son about to stress himself into an explosion, Jin Qiao hurriedly stepped in to rescue him.
“How about this? Tomorrow we’ll take you to try a class there first. If you can’t adapt, then we’ll switch to private lessons at home. How does that sound?”
Hearing Mommy speak up, Yu Siyi visibly relaxed.
His little brain truly couldn’t figure these complicated things out.
After the family finished dinner together—
Jin Qiao genuinely couldn’t endure Yu An’s gaze any longer.
He even stared at her while eating, making it impossible for her to properly enjoy the spicy chicken dish in front of her!
Why couldn’t this man behave himself even during meals?
So the moment she finished eating, she hurried upstairs and ran back to the bedroom.
But would Yu An let her escape that easily?
He followed her upstairs immediately.
The instant the bedroom door closed—
Jin Qiao suddenly spun around and slammed Yu An against the door with one hand, her tone filled with extreme impatience.
