After filling in the home address, Jin Qiao held Yu Siyi’s hand and went on to raid the other stores.
A child this adorable needed to be dressed nicely while he was young—once he grew up and formed his own ideas, it would be impossible to control him.
Buy, buy, buy! This outfit is so handsome! Buy! This one is so cute! Buy!
Little Yu Siyi kept cycling through outfit after outfit.
By the time they finished, it was already eight in the evening. Yu Siyi yawned in Jin Qiao’s arms, completely exhausted from the shopping spree.
After calling the driver, Jin Qiao walked toward the mall exit, patting Yu Siyi’s back.
The two of them slept leaning against each other all the way home.
Once home, Jin Qiao unbuckled him from the child seat, gently carried him to his room, and laid him on the bed.
Nurse Wu, who had been worried all afternoon, finally relaxed seeing the young master safe and sound, sleeping peacefully in Madam’s arms.
After setting Yu Siyi on the bed, Nurse Wu came in with a damp cloth.
“Madam, I’ll take care of this.”
Jin Qiao nodded. Seeing the child sleeping soundly, clutching his blanket, she yawned and returned to her room.
She took a long, comfortable shower, snuggled into her bed, and began playing on her phone.
Meanwhile, at the company, Yu An had just finished a meeting when he noticed his phone flooded with messages.
Opening them, he discovered that besides Jin Qiao’s spending records, Yu Siyi had used his card too—an enormous sum.
Then he received a message from Nurse Wu saying the young master and Madam had returned home and gone to sleep.
He was curious: what exactly was Jin Qiao up to?
The next morning, all the items from yesterday’s shopping had been delivered to the house, with Nurse Wu arranging them in the living room.
When Jin Qiao woke up, it was nearly noon.
She couldn’t break her bad habit of staying up late. She’d been reading a captivating novel the night before and had been too reluctant to sleep.
Entering the living room, she saw Yu Siyi already playing with the educational toys she had bought for him yesterday.
He worked quickly and efficiently, finishing them all before Jin Qiao could even react.
Seeing the items in the living room, Jin Qiao excitedly began organizing them, thoroughly enjoying sorting out her new purchases.
“Nurse Wu, Sisi bought these clothes for me! Aren’t they nice?”
Jin Qiao couldn’t help but show off a little. But before Nurse Wu could respond, Yu Siyi’s face turned bright red.
Still, he looked at Nurse Wu, eyes silently asking for her approval.
This scene made Nurse Wu realize that Madam had changed—her relationship with the young master had improved, and she felt genuinely happy for him.
“They’re beautiful! Young master has great taste.”
“You don’t know how adorable he looked when he paid with his card yesterday!”
Saying this, Jin Qiao pinched Yu Siyi’s little face. He was overjoyed, a big smile lighting up his face.
After a while of play in the living room, they ate together and then snuggled on the sofa to watch a show.
Yes, Yu Siyi, yawning, was accompanying his mother in watching a completely frivolous soap opera.
“Why won’t you let me in! I’m the young master’s teacher!”
A familiar voice yelled from outside. Yu Siyi already knew who it was.
Annoying. Interrupting my time with Mommy.
“Nurse Wu, who is it?”
Hearing the voice, Nurse Wu went to check. Coming back, Jin Qiao asked,
“It’s Miss Lin Yu. I told her yesterday she didn’t need to come, but she insists she was hired by the young master and that I have no authority to dismiss her.”
Nurse Wu’s face darkened. People like this were always difficult.
“Let her in. If she has something to say, let’s talk face-to-face. Shouting outside is ridiculous.”
Soon, Lin Yu entered the living room.
Her gloomy face instantly switched to a fake smile as she looked at Yu Siyi on the sofa.
“Good afternoon, Siyi.”
Yu Siyi ignored her and buried his head back in Jin Qiao’s arms.
“Miss Lin, do you have any objections to my notice yesterday?”
Seeing Yu Siyi ignore her, Lin Yu cursed inwardly.
This mute child is so frustrating. I treated him so well and he can’t even speak up for me?
“Madam Yu, I was specifically hired by the young master. If you want to fire me, it should go through him, right?”
She thought smugly: a nominal Madam Yu without real power, what could she possibly decide?
Jin Qiao waved casually and said to Nurse Wu,
“Call Yu An and tell him I’m dismissing a teacher. Ask if he has any objections.”
She refused to be bullied. Who said she couldn’t fire someone?
Nurse Wu nodded and dialed Yu An.
A low male voice came through the phone.
“What is it?”
“Sir, Madam wants to dismiss Miss Lin Yu, but she insists she was hired by you and that Madam has no authority to fire her. Madam wants to know your opinion.”
Lin Yu was waiting for Yu An to harshly reprimand Madam Yu.
But the man on the phone replied,
“How did Siyi react?”
Hearing this, Jin Qiao gave Lin Yu a triumphant look. She already knew the answer.
Lin Yu glared at Yu Siyi, trying to intimidate him with her eyes. If she failed now, she would never have another chance in such a wealthy neighborhood.
“Siyi, did your teacher treat you badly? Don’t you need a teacher anymore? Think carefully. You’re still young. Teachers can forgive small mistakes, but you must correct them, or the teacher will get angry.”
Jin Qiao was stunned. Where did Yu An find such a weirdo, full of manipulative talk?
She couldn’t sit still listening to her son being spoken to like this. She sneered and spoke sarcastically:
“Teacher Lin, I now formally call you ‘teacher.’ Is this your method of psychological counseling for my son? When Siyi misbehaves, you get ready to get angry? Also, we’ve already paid you all your due money, plus a bonus. What else are you dissatisfied with?”
Lin Yu ignored Jin Qiao, staring straight at Yu Siyi.
Little Yu Siyi ignored her gaze and nodded to Nurse Wu.
Having taken care of him for so long, Nurse Wu understood immediately. She spoke to Yu An:
“The young master said he agrees.”
He respected Yu Siyi’s wishes. Since the boy agreed, there was nothing more to say.
“Miss Lin, my assistant will discuss the compensation and bonus for your dismissal with you.”
Lin Yu gritted her teeth in frustration—what an ungrateful wretch!
Hearing Yu An say this, she had no face to stay and turned to leave.
“I will arrange another psychological teacher for Yu Siyi,” Yu An added.
