The Wealthy Psychic Lady: 99 Stolen Kisses

Chapter 1387: I Only Want You (85)

"Alright."

The nanny helped Pei Ling change into a fresh set of clothes and made him a bottle of milk before carrying him into Tian Tian's car.

Tian Tian was dressed exceptionally fashionably and did not seem like she had given birth before. She placed lots of emphasis on her appearance and made a conscious effort to look good. She barely gained any weight during her pregnancy and managed to stay svelte.

Mrs. Pei's home was a stone's throw away and, thus, they did not take too long to get there.

Mrs. Pei would have passed away long ago if she didn't receive the best treatment possible. However, despite being administered with the most potent medication available, her condition was still deteriorating with each passing day. She had become emaciated and bedridden.

Pei Yi would visit her every day, and so did Tian Tian, who would bring Pei Ling along. They made it a point to visit her every day, although the duration of their stay varied.

Pei Yi had arrived before them and was having a chat with his mother.

Upon the sight of them, Mrs. Pei waved while smiling and said, "Pei Ling, come to Grandma."

The nanny stepped forward and placed Pei Ling on the bed.

Mrs. Pei held her grandson's hand gleefully and asked, "What did you learn at school today?"

He remained silent and stared at his bedridden grandmother with a straight face.

The nanny hurriedly said, "The new teacher at the kindergarten praised Pei Ling for being very obedient."

"Why is there a new teacher?"'

"I don't know. They said that the previous teacher had been transferred to the other classes to look after the older children. Hence, the new teacher is now looking after the toddlers. However, she's only in charge of looking after two children and she seems to be doing a good job."

Mrs. Pei snapped, "I wonder if she can really make the cut. When you send Pei Ling to the kindergarten tomorrow, give that teacher a warning. Tell her that if she dares to let my precious grandson get injured, I'll never let her off!"

The nanny expressed assent softly.

Pei Yi interjected, "It's only normal for children to slip and fall every now and then. Don't spoil him rotten."

Mrs. Pei chastised, "You're so busy with work every day and you barely spend any time with Pei Ling. He doesn't seem to be very close to you either. Children his age require the most parental love and concern. You two must shower my precious grandson with more love and concern. Hear me?"

Tian Tian smiled and said, "Mother, rest assured, we will. It'd be inappropriate if we neglect our own child."

Mrs. Pei nodded and said, "That's true. The three of you, go have dinner later. Pei Yi, stop being so preoccupied with work such that you neglect your wife and son."

Pei Yi answered with a nod, "Got it."

During the journey back in the car, Tian Tian asked, "Where should we go for dinner?"

"You may go home for dinner. I'll take Pei Ling back to Mount Qingping. I'll send him to school every day from now on."

Tian Tian said in astonishment, "Have you decided to listen to Mother and show more care for our son?"

"You don't have to care about this," he said sluggishly.

Tian Tian was rather glad to hear his decision. Ever since Pei Ling was born, Pei Yi had barely taken care of him or showed him much concern. Tian Tian had always regarded his nonchalance as a form of disdain toward her. However, after seeing that he had begun paying more attention to Pei Ling, she knew that she could use her son as a trump card to win Pei Yi's heart.

Pei Ling sat quietly in the child booster seat in the backseat during the car ride.

Pei Yi stared at Pei Ling's reflection in the rear-view mirror and found that his son's eyes, nose, and brows were almost identical to his. Pei Ling's lips and face shape were the only features that did not resemble his.

He knew clearly whose lips and face shape Pei Ling's resembled.

Jing Chu woke up at six o'clock in the morning, and the first thing she did was to check on Su Nainai.

Before she even entered Su Nainai's room, she heard a bunch of crying noises coming from inside.

She walked into the room, only to discover that Su Nainai was not in her cot. Frightened beyond words, Jing Chu hurriedly proceeded to search for Su Nainai. At last, she found her in another child's cot, sleeping soundly despite the ruckus.

Jing Chu picked her up and carried her back to her own cot. She then removed her diapers to see that Su Nainai had soiled herself, just like she had expected.

Just as she was about to clean her up, Su Nainai woke up.

Jing Chu grabbed her ankles and cleaned her up before wrapping a clean diaper around her bottom.

"Shall we call you Little Stinky from now on?" Jing Chu teased.

Su Nainai remained silent, seemingly pondering over what that nickname meant.

Jing Chu carried her out of the room and made her some breakfast. She then fed her with some milk before carrying her back to the room she was staying in.

She bought two cartons of instant noodles, a kettle for boiling water, as well as some crockery the night before, and planned to live on those items. Tang Zhijing offered her some money. However, she only accepted five hundred dollars because she was afraid that she couldn't afford to pay him back.

She made herself two packets of instant noodles and polished off everything.

After breakfast, she played with Su Nainai for a while. She then carried her to the entrance of the kindergarten where she waited for Pei Ling to arrive.

Su Nainai decided to play with Jing Chu's hair because she didn't have any other toys to fiddle with. She began tugging Jing Chu's hair forcefully, after which Jing Chu pretended to be infuriated. "Sugarbean, if you yank my hair again, I'll kiss you as a punishment!"

Su Nainai began giggling merrily and drooling uncontrollably. Jing Chu had no choice but to wipe her saliva away with her other hand.

There was a large group of parents crowding around the entrance and handing their children over to the teachers. Eventually, the crowd began to disperse as the teachers and the children headed back inside the kindergarten.

At this very moment, a posh, white limousine pulled up in front of the entrance and blocked it.

The door opened, and a suave man alighted from the limousine, dressed in a thin suit with his hair neatly combed back. He then began striding toward the kindergarten.

What is this man here for? Jing Chu wondered.

To her surprise, he began walking toward her.

Su Nainai began clapping her hands excitedly. Jing Chu observed the man's features and deduced that he was probably Su Nainai's father.

He stood in front of Jing Chu and said with a smile, "Hello, I'm Su Nainai's father. I'm here to pick her up."

Although Jing Chu could tell that he was Su Nainai's father, she said, "Mr. Su, please give me a moment. I'm new here and I don't know who you are, so please let me verify your identity before handing Sugarbean to you."

He agreed calmly, "Sure."

Jing Chu led him to Mrs. Gang, who then verified that he was indeed Su Nainai's father.

She then handed Su Nainai to him. However, Su Nainai refused to let go of Jing Chu's hair and instead tugged it continuously, causing her scalp to ache.

"Did you start working this week?"

Jing Chu nodded and said, "I started yesterday."

"What's your name?"

"Jing Chu."

"Ms. Jing Chu, Nainai will be withdrawing from the kindergarten next Wednesday because of my personal reasons. Are you interested in becoming her tutor?"
