Su Ruoxue returned to Xiao Chen’s house but didn’t find the father and daughter. She sighed and couldn’t help but feel a bit disappointed.
However, she wasn’t the clingy type of woman either. She cleaned up the table and left Xiao Chen a text message.
“I cleaned the table. Heading home now.”
She didn’t expect to see her phone light up two seconds later. Xiao Chen’s response had arrived.
“Got it!”
SU Ruoxue was surprised. With eyes half closed, she responded.
“Are you guys napping?”
“Yes.”
Xiao Chen was always brief with his words. But for Su Ruoxue, it was already a great joy that he replied to her text message.
“Rest well, then. Last time, you asked me to find Ziyi a good school. I’ve already asked some people, so I’ll send you the information when I get back.”
“Okay!”
After receiving his response, Su Ruoxue was satisfied. She placed her hands behind her back, phone in hand, and hummed a tune as she headed back to her villa.
In the attic shortly after, Xiao Chen’s mobile phone lit up with information of a well-known kindergarten on it.
He couldn’t help but smile.
“This lady is so passionate!”
They napped for an hour. Afterwards, Xiao Chen was getting ready to take his daughter out.
Jiangbei was a second-tier city, so it was quite large. That meant the city was scattered with several kindergartens as well.
There may always be the expensive and the cheap in the world, but there were only a few that were top-notch kindergarten facilities.
XIao Chen selected the one that was most convenient for pick-up and drop-off.
On her first trip to the kindergarten, Xiao Ziyi was evidently very nervous. There were several kids her own age, just like at the orphanage. She was terrified!
Xiao Chen patted her head to comfort her.
“Baby, this isn’t the orphanage. They won’t bully you!”
Xiao Ziyi bit her lip but refused to step forward.
Xiao Chen knew of the shadows in her heart and decided not to push her. He could only continue reassuring her.
“Don’t worry, Daddy will wait for you outside. When you’re done class, I promise you will be able to see me when you leave, okay?”
Xiao Ziyi heard this and forcibly nodded.
Xiao Chen sighed. He didn’t want to leave his daughter either, but Xiao Ziyi had to continue on with life, surrounded by kids her own age. That’s the only way she could overcome her fears and grow up in a healthy manner!
These were interactions that Xiao Chen could never provide himself.
“Good girl. I promise, when you’re done school, we’ll go buy some good food. Okay?”
“Okay!”
Xiao Ziyi was already becoming a little foodie. When she heard the mention of food, her mood instantly changed.
Xiao Chen patted her head and smiled.
“Come, let’s go!”
Xiao Chen pulled his daughter inside the gate of the kindergarten. The security guard by the entrance immediately followed after them.
“Hello, sir, I haven’t seen you before. Are you a parent of one of our school’s students?”
Xiao Chen shook his head.
“No, I’m just taking my daughter here to be registered.”
“Oh, I see. If that’s the case, come with me!”
The security guard was very polite as he led Xiao Chen and Ziyi into an office.
“Director Li, I have someone here who wants to sign up.”
The director was a woman in her thirties. Her face was caked with makeup, and she had the stature of a famous internet celebrity. But it appeared her family background is quite wealthy, as she had an air to her that wasn’t common in most internet celebrities.
Hearing that Xiao Chen was here to register, she immediately stood up and welcomed him with a smile.
“Hello, take a seat!”
She gestured Xiao Chen and his daughter towards the sofa and poured them two cups of tea.
“Can I ask what your name is?”
“Last name Xiao, first name Chen.”
“How did you hear of our kindergarten? Is it through a reference, or…”
“My friend gave me the information, I came to check it out.”
“Oh, I see.”
Director Li nodded slowly, then smiled before speaking again:
“Then I assume you must know, our kindergarten is an institution specifically dedicated to high-end early childhood education, our…”
“Money is not an issue.”
Without waiting for Director Li to finish, Xiao Chen interrupted. Director Li’s face beamed even wider.
“It seems like your finances aren’t pressured at all! Let me go over our institution’s acceptance guidelines. Normally, we have to conduct a pre-evaluation. In addition, you must provide all the health care certificates of your child, including birth certificate, vaccinations, and proof of medical examination papers.”
Xiao Chen shook his head.
“I don’t have any of these.”
Director Li was startled as she smiled awkwardly.
“Mr. Xiao, please do not kid with me, okay? Normal kids all have these papers!”
Xiao Chen once again exclaimed:
“I don’t have any of these. But I can promise my child is healthy!”
Director Li’s expression became stern.
“Sorry, Mr. Xiao. I cannot guarantee your child’s health by your words. Of course, I don’t have any ill-intent. It’s just that we need hospital confirmation, so we can rest assured.”
Xiao Chen thought for a moment.
It wasn’t difficult to obtain these documents for Xiao Ziyi, but it would take a couple of days at least. Now was the best time to begin school since all of the kids were new and didn’t know each other. It would be easier for Ziyi to integrate into the collective.
Thinking of this, Xiao Chen began to speak.
“My medical skills are unmatched in this world. If my daughter has any infectious disease, I will know better than any hospital.”
Director Li’s face couldn’t help but twitch.
Xiao Chen was a bit too thick-skinned. Who says that about themselves? And in the medical field? Nowadays, medicine has advanced so far that even if Hua Tuo was still alive, he wouldn’t even dare call himself the world’s number one.
This guy must have a problem with his head.
Sighing, Director Li’s expression became stern again.
“Mr. Xiao, let’s stop kidding around here. We are all very busy people, let’s not waste each other’s time. Liu, send them off!”
As soon as her words fell, she stood up and headed back to her desk. The security guard at the door approached angrily.
He thought he was bringing in a new client, but he didn’t think he turned out to be a dumbass.
He estimated that the director was going to teach him a lesson after he left. He was angry just thinking about it.
However, just when he stepped foot into the office to drag Xiao Chen away, Xiao Chen spoke calmly.
“I can make you pregnant.”
Director Li’s body instantly began to tremble. She fiercely turned her head back, eyes wide open. She stared at Xiao Chen in disbelief.
Liu could not tolerate it anymore.
This bastard was blowing the incident up. He actually provoked the director! If the director blamed him, he was sure to lose his job!
“Hey dumbass, what are you going off about? Are you traumatizing our director? You think I won’t beat you up?”
