[Bad daddy took mommy away from me tonight all by himself!!!!]
Yu Siyi’s notebook was full of exclamation marks and angry symbols, each one screaming his frustration.
Jin Qiao immediately looked at Yu Jia.
Someone pretended not to hear and didn’t even lift his head from his files.
Well, that’s odd… did he really like the original owner?
…but I’m not.
Maybe I should clarify at some point? Letting him misunderstand forever isn’t great.
Her brain was racing when she glanced down—and saw her son’s face, looking at her like: Mom, please speak up for me about dad.
Uh…
“You not going to work today?” she asked.
Yu Jia looked up.
“The whole company’s off today. Besides, aren’t we taking Yu Siyi to try out the Taekwondo class?”
Their eyes met, and Jin Qiao felt his voice had a slight tone of grievance!
Yu Siyi turned away from his dad.
Hmph! I don’t need dad anyway!
“Mommy will stay with you tonight. I promise I won’t go back to my own room.”
“No.”
Before Yu Siyi could celebrate, Yu Jia interrupted. Tears immediately started welling up.
“I’ll go change my clothes!”
Jin Qiao dashed back to her room, giving Yu Jia a look that said: You caused this, you fix it yourself.
She hated seeing kids cry—it made her head feel twice as big. Tonight, she decided, she’d finally clarify things with Yu Jia.
Yu Jia watched as Yu Siyi’s tears kept streaming.
“Yu Siyi, don’t you want your parents to get along better?”
The question stopped Yu Siyi mid-cry.
He remembered how things were before: Mom always at home, but Dad never returned every day. Mom ignored him. Only Wu Ma was around. He didn’t want that life anymore.
“You can say whatever you want,” Yu Jia continued, “but let me say this first—this is my wife, not yours.”
Yu Siyi knew his dad wasn’t being entirely sweet.
Fine, let him have these few days. He remembered: as soon as they finish the show, Mom would take him out. By the time they got used to sleeping together, he wouldn’t have to share the room with Dad. Hmph. And when he’s stronger, he’ll kick Dad like Mom did!
Seeing Yu Siyi calm down but still a little mad, Yu Jia stifled a laugh and went back to his files.
“Shall we? After class, we can eat out?”
Jin Qiao changed into casual clothes, hands in pockets, heading downstairs.
Yu Jia nodded, tidied up his desk, and straightened his collar.
Jin Qiao gave the two of them a look.
“You’re not working but still in a suit?”
Yu Jia blinked, confused, muttering, “Uh huh.”
Yu Siyi also stared curiously at his dad. He wasn’t always in a suit—he just spent so much time at the office that there was no chance to wear anything else.
Jin Qiao clicked her tongue.
Even with that face, gorgeous as it was… don’t you get tired of seeing suits all the time?
“Today, you’re the driver. After class and dinner, we’ll go buy clothes!”
Yu Siyi raised his little hand enthusiastically in agreement.
On the way to the Taekwondo studio, Jin Qiao received the photo package from the studio.
The director said these should be posted online for fans. Since it was her son’s fans, he could pick the photos himself.
She handed the phone to Yu Siyi.
“Pick a few you like, and Mommy will post them for all the aunties and mommies online to see.”
The little boy got serious, carefully choosing the pictures.
Once done, Jin Qiao edited slightly and posted.
[New wallpaper! Already set.][I’m faster!][So cute! I just want to touch his little face.][Baby’s adorable! Jin Qiao, can I play with him for a day?][When’s the next livestream? They’re taking forever!][Totally won over.]
The comments kept flooding in. Jin Qiao let Yu Siyi scroll at his own pace.
[What’s 41 baby doing today?]
—I’m Siyi! Not 41! Today I’m going to Taekwondo.
Jin Qiao saw him struggling with the keyboard.
“Crash, the ‘taekwondo’ Taek is this one.”
She tapped the screen to show him.
His face flushed red again. He wanted to erase it but realized too many people had already seen his reply!
[Not 41, it’s Siyi! Hahaha, baby’s too cute.][I thought it was Jin Qiao replying… when I saw ‘taekwondo,’ I knew it was 41 baby!][It’s okay, he’s little.][41 said he’s going to Taekwondo, I can already imagine how cute he’ll be! Jin Qiao, post videos and pictures!][She always pretends not to see!][41 baby, let Mommy film your Taekwondo! Everyone wants to see!]
Yu Siyi shyly returned the phone to Jin Qiao.
Hmph. Once he changes into the uniform, this will be priceless. She’d definitely take photos, and posting online could wait until after class.
But she opened the DM again—black avatar account replied.
[I’m Qin Tian. My number is 187******]**
Qin Tian? No memory of him, must be a friend of the original owner.
At the studio, the coach took Yu Siyi to change. He was a bit nervous. Yu Jia had to accompany him.
Soon, both father and son emerged in Taekwondo uniforms.
Wokao.
Yu Jia in uniform—no suit—was too handsome; Jin Qiao couldn’t look away.
She noticed Yu Siyi wasn’t the only trial student; there were other parents present too.
Everyone stared at the father-son pair. Some even secretly took photos.
Looks like she wouldn’t need to post online—someone else would do it.
But she still took photos herself.
When she did, both Yu Jia and Yu Siyi looked at her. Yu Siyi even flashed a “yay” gesture, and Yu Jia smiled too.
Sss… beauty is dangerous. That photo immediately became her phone wallpaper.
So gorgeous.
By the second class, Yu Siyi was familiar with the other kids. Yu Jia didn’t stay, but before changing out of his uniform, he sat next to Jin Qiao.
Seeing her fiddling with her phone, he asked,
“What’s wrong?”
“This dumb phone—I dropped it this morning. Now it’s acting up for some reason.”
Yu Jia took the phone and saw the photo.
“Pretty nice, haha.”
Jin Qiao awkwardly tried to grab it back.
“I’ll buy a new one later.”
“I’ve got a lot of photos here.”
“Then I’ll fix this one as a backup when we buy the new phone.”
“Okay. Did you bring the card? I can’t pay without my phone.”
“I came along. Would I let you pay?”
Yu Jia looked at her, impressed.
Jin Qiao pocketed her phone, focusing on watching Yu Siyi during class.
“Oh, by the way, let’s chat tonight.”
“Sure.”
As Jin Qiao expected, online chatter was already heating up.
