Chapter 1386: I Only Want You (84)

Jing Chu and Fat Lass followed him.

The kindergarten was located in a luxurious district, and Tang Zhijing brought them to meet his friends.

“Gang Zi.”

Upon their arrival, Gang Zi turned around and said, “What brings you here?”

“You, of course. I need your help.”

Gang Zi was surprised to see him with two women, especially Jing Chu, who was the prettier one out of the two. He coughed and asked, “What? You actually need my help? With what?”

“This is my… girlfriend. She doesn’t have a personal identification card, but I want her to become a kindergarten teacher. Will you hire her?”

Upon hearing the way he had introduced her, Jing Chu looked at him in shock, after which he winked at her. Jing Chu immediately understood his hint.

“Sure, of course. Your girlfriend is my sister-in-law. However, we don’t provide meals and lodging, and it’s a little far from your place. If she wants to move in, I can get my wife to tidy one of the rooms for her to stay in. Would she like to move in?” Gang Zi asked.

“She’ll stay.”

Gang Zi immediately called his wife over. When Mrs. Gang saw Jing Chu, she was actually reluctant to let her stay, for she felt that Jing Chu was way too beautiful and she found her to be a possible threat. She was afraid that Jing Chu would seduce her husband.

However, she felt much more relieved after hearing that Jing Chu was Tang Zhijing’s girlfriend. After all, her husband was inferior to Tang Zhijing in every aspect, be it wealth, status, or appearance. She believed that Jing Chu would know better than to choose Gang Zi over Tang Zhijing.

Hence, Jing Chu moved into an empty room in Gang Zi’s home. Mrs. Gang had also given her a straw mat and an electric fan.

Although the air was stale and stuffy, she was more than contented.

She had long gotten used to such living conditions for she had already experienced it before in prison.

After taking a glance at the room she would be staying in, Tang Zhijing said, “Gang Zi said that he can only let you take care of the toddlers because you don’t have any paper qualifications or a teaching certificate.”

“Alright, I’ll do my best.”

“Okay. Gang Zi said that all the children there were born with silver spoons in their mouths and are spoiled rotten. Their parents are wealthy, and the school fees are expensive as well. So, it’s better for you to be conscientious and take the job seriously. I know you can do it.”

Tang Zhijing and Fat Lass left after a while.

Jing Chu packed up briefly before looking for Mrs. Gang.

Mrs. Gang explained her job scope to her in detail.

“You’re new and inexperienced, so I shall arrange for you to look after two of the children, a boy and a girl. The girl is one year old while the boy is a year and a half. The girl’s parents have divorced and her father holds her custody. However, he only takes her home once a week because of his busy schedule. The boy’s parents don’t come to pick him up at all. His nanny is the one who usually brings him to and from school. Just remember what she looks like.”

“Alright,” said Jing Chu.

Mrs. Gang then brought her to meet the children. “This girl’s name is Su Nainai and her nickname is Sugarbean. The boy’s name is Pei Ling. Strangely, he doesn’t cry or throw tantrums. He doesn’t smile much either. He’s the most peculiar child I’ve ever seen.”

Jing Chu stared at the boy carefully and got a great shock.

Why does he look so much like Pei Yi…

“What are the names of the boy’s parents?”

“No idea. They’ve never come to pick him up before. The nanny does all the work.”

Jing Chu nodded and told herself to stop overthinking, trying to convince herself that there wouldn’t be such a likely coincidence.

Due to the fact that it was a prestigious kindergarten, there were lots of rooms and ample space for the children to play in. Jing Chu would sit on the ground and follow the children everywhere they went. Su Nainai was only a year old and could not walk or talk yet. She could only make some simple sounds. She sat on the ground and had a whale of a time playing with toys.

“Sugarbean…” Jing Chu called.

Su Nainai looked at her before turning away again. When Jing Chu tried to hug her, she pushed Jing Chu away and declined her hug.

She was rather aloof as well. Hence, Jing Chu decided not to hug her and instead tried to get closer and build a rapport with her.

After all, she was just a toddler, and it was rather easy for Jing Chu to get closer to her.

Once they were familiar with each other, Jing Chu instructed Su Nainai to play on her own while she walked toward Pei Ling. He was cool yet cute at the same time.

“Hello, Pei Ling…”

He looked at her before struggling to get up with all his might. Holding his favorite toy in hand, he walked toward her slowly and called out in a puerile voice, “Mommy…”

Jing Chu was rather touched to hear his words. He’s still so young. How could his parents bear to leave him alone at the nursery? He must miss his mother dearly.

She tried to hug him and he allowed her to do so. He was extremely obedient.

Jing Chu’s heart melted. She picked Pei Ling up in her arms and asked, “Are you missing your mommy? She has gone to work? You must be obedient and stay here.”

Hanging his head low, he continued to fiddle with his toy car and murmured, “Mommy…”

Jing Chu caressed his head and placed him in front of Su Nainai.

Looking after two young toddlers was indeed an extremely tiring and tough job.

She had to take care of all their needs as soon as possible and feed them on time. Fortunately, Pei Ling was very obedient, unlike Su Nainai, who would constantly crawl around and drool continuously like a broken tap. She simply could not stay still. Jing Chu had no choice but to replace her bib every now and then.

Despite being worn out and exhausted, Jing Chu never failed to feel accomplished after a fulfilling day.

At past five o’clock in the afternoon every day, she would hand Pei Ling over to his nanny and proceed to take care of Su Nainai all the way until eight or nine in the evening. After feeding her and tucking her in bed, Jing Chu would be done for the day.

However, she could not help but be reminded of the heartless man who let her down two years ago whenever she looked at Pei Ling.

She had clearly forgotten about him. However, now that she was reminded of him all of a sudden, she was filled with misery.

It’s alright, it’s all in the past.

It’s all over now.

I’ve already ended things and sorted my feelings out two years ago. She felt much better after comforting herself.

——

“Madam, we’re back,” the nanny said while entering with Pei Ling in her arms.

Lying sluggishly on the couch, Tian Tian expressed assent and said, “Help him change into a fresh set of clothes. I’ll be taking him to see his grandmother later.”
