Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The next day, the International Kindergarten held a family-themed comic and art exhibition.
“In the end, Little Monkey and its parents lived happily together.”
“The Little Bunny is the baby of Daddy Bunny and Mommy Bunny. Every night, Daddy Bunny will accompany Mommy Bunny and their son to visit the carrots that they planted.”
…
The principal looked at the children in the classroom worriedly. Why did some parents complain that their family education was not up to standard?
However, when the principal thought about the various books and toys that the parent who complained had donated, she let out a smile. It seemed that she needed to continue working hard. ‘Parents’ complaints should be viewed as a motivation!’
“Sister Principal, do parents and children live together?”
A baby voice suddenly sounded beside her feet. The principal lowered her head to take a look. ‘Aiyo, isn’t this the cutest little Jun Yin?’
His little mouth was too sweet. She was already over thirty years old, yet the cute little dumpling still addressed her as Sister. She couldn’t help but feel elated.
“Yes, little one. Family members should of course live together.”
The principal smiled as she patted Jun Yin’s head. However, she did not expect that the little dumpling, who always had a pair of smiling eyes, would lower his head sadly. That pitiful look of his made her heart ache.
“What’s wrong, little one? Tell Auntie what happened.” The principal crouched down and pulled Xiao Bao into her arms. The little cutie in her arms had tears in his eyes.
“Then why don’t my parents live together?”
The principal was stunned. She guessed that he came from a divorced family, and so her heart ached even more for this delicate little boy.
“Do Daddy and Mommy love you?”
“Mmm.” Xiao Bao nodded vehemently. Although his father always had a cold expression, he would chase away little monsters for him. Even though his mother used to hate him, she would accompany him every day now.
“Although they don’t live together, they love you very much. Their love for you will never change,” the principal said as she took a toy from the side and changed the topic. “Let’s play with the giraffes together, okay?”
After the theme exhibition finally ended, the principal returned to her office. Suddenly, she was reminded of Xiao Bao’s pitiful look and opened up the kindergarten student enrollment folder.
To her surprise, it did not show that Jun Yin was from a divorced family.
The principal looked at the names written on his parents’ column unhappily. ‘His parents are too irresponsible. Even if they are not going to continue the marriage, shouldn’t they consider the feelings of their child?’
She searched for the contact information attached to the back of the folder and made a call.
“Young Master, the kindergarten is calling.”
Back then, when they were filling in the form, they had considered Jun Shiling’s identity and Xia Wanyuan’s job as an actress. Hence, the names filled in were not their exact names. As a result, the principal did not know that the person on the other end of the phone was the kindergarten’s biggest investor.
“Hello, is this Jun Yin’s father?”
“Yes.” Jun Shiling frowned. ‘Did Jun Yin beat up his classmates in kindergarten again?’
“Have you divorced your wife?”
“No,” Jun Shiling said after a moment of silence.
The principal was furious. When she thought of Xiao Bao’s pitiful look, she instantly imagined a rich family drama and started criticizing the child’s father.
A long tirade began immediately. From the child’s mentality to the growth of his body and mind, as well as his future, the principal covered all of them.
“I hope that as parents, you will pay more attention to your child’s mental health and create a harmonious and warm family environment for your child. If there is no divorce, please do not live separately. A complete family will help a child grow up normally in a healthy environment.”
Finally, the principal concluded and stopped talking. She felt that her mouth was parched.
“Okay. Thank you for your input, Principal. Goodbye.”
Jun Shiling spoke for the second time. His tone was extremely cold. The principal, who had calmed down a little, suddenly became irritated again.
‘Why is the father of this family like this? I can’t communicate with him at all.’ The principal could only call his mother. After all, a mother should be more easygoing.
After hanging up the phone, Jun Shiling was more than a little annoyed by the scolding. However, he could not deny that what the principal said had gotten to him.
“I can tell that Jun Yin loves you both very much and wants to live together with his Daddy and Mommy. Actually, he knows everything. He’s very sad, but he doesn’t want to tell you because he’s afraid of making you upset or angry.”
Jun Shiling squeezed the fountain pen in his hand tightly as he felt a little guilty towards Xiao Bao. When he was young, he had suffered alone. Now that he had his own child, he had made his child suffer as he did.
…
In the apartment, the coffee by the window had already turned cold. Xia Wanyuan was still listening to the principal on the phone.
“Yeah, okay. Thank you for your input, Principal. Goodbye.”
Her tone and answer were almost identical to that of the child’s father. The principal was stunned. ‘What is going on with this family?’
In her previous life, Xia Wanyuan had brought up her younger siblings. When she found out that her parents had passed away, she was very sensible and did not mention anything about missing her parents in front of them.
However, there were many times when she would dream about them in the middle of the night. When she was sick and talking in her sleep, she would still subconsciously call for her parents.
For the first time, Xia Wanyuan felt a little helpless. This era was not like the past, and Xiao Bao’s situation was not like her younger siblings.
From Xiao Bao’s point of view, his parents had been living separately even though they were married. He must be feeling very sad too.
In fact, Xiao Bao must have missed Jun Shiling as well. He probably had a nightmare last night and had asked Daddy to help him fight the little monsters.
At that moment, the phone rang again. He thought it was the principal, but it was a familiar black profile picture.
“Hello, what’s the matter?” Xia Wanyuan picked up the phone.
“Did Jun Yin’s kindergarten principal call you?” A deep voice came through the phone.
“Yes.”
“The divorce agreement in three months will still be effective. During this period of time, stay in the manor and take good care of Jun Yin. When the time comes, I’ll give you two more houses on the Third Ring Road.”
They had planned the divorce agreement from the start, but now that it was mentioned, Jun Shiling was not happy at all. Instead, he felt as if there was a rock pressing down on his heart, making it hard for him to breathe.
“I don’t need the house. Xiao Bao is my child too. I didn’t do my duty as a mother before. This is what I owe him.”
“Mmm.” Jun Shiling remained silent for a while and said nothing more. “I’ll arrange a car to pick you up later.”
“Alright.”
Even though Xia Wanyuan had declined, Jun Shiling called the legal department after hanging up the phone and transferred three of the best houses in the city to be under Xia Wanyuan’s name.
