Fortunately, Xiaobao was very understanding. Seeing how exhausted his mother was, he took a bath by himself, brought her a glass of water, and asked her to take her medicine.
Ye Ning was deeply moved. She hugged her son and then told him to go to bed and rest, while she took her medicine, washed up, and went to bed herself.
A deep sleep through the night...
The next morning, Ye Ning was woken up by the ringing of her cellphone. In a daze, she picked it up and saw that it was a call from the kindergarten.
"Hello? Is this Xiaobao’s mom? This is Teacher Huang from the kindergarten."
Having received this call, Ye Ning pretty much knew what it was about, so her tone was neither warm nor cold.
As expected, as soon as Teacher Huang heard her, she immediately asked why Xiaobao wasn’t brought to the kindergarten today and if it was because of yesterday’s incident. If that was the case, she wanted to apologize.
If apologies were useful, what would we need the police for?
Ye Ning, recalling the words of the man from last night, grew even colder: "No need, there’s been some things lately, and Xiaobao won’t be going to the kindergarten for the time being. I’ll contact you when I have time."
After saying that, she hung up the phone.
Indeed, she couldn’t send Xiaobao to that kindergarten anymore. Ou Mucen was right; what kind of place was Blue Mountain Villa? Any small incident there could garner national attention. If Xiaobao had become a pawn in a covert struggle between the young masters of that villa last night, he would definitely be watched as well.
So, what he said was not wrong at all—she couldn’t stay at that kindergarten.
Not just the kindergarten, she couldn’t stay here, either.
With this thought, she finally lost all desire to sleep. She got up from the bed, planning to wash up and then take her son out to look for another house. However, she was not expecting that when she opened the door, there was already someone sitting in the living room.
"Brother Lin, why have you come? This early in the morning..."
"Early? It’s almost nine o’clock."
Lin Yebai was sitting there, holding Hundun in his arms. He pointed to the clock on the wall as soon as he saw her finally come out.
How was it already nine o’clock? She had slept so late?
She felt a bit embarrassed. Hearing the sound of water in the bathroom, she walked over to find that the little guy had already woken up.
"Mom, you’re finally up? I’ve already been to the supermarket with Uncle Lin to buy Hundun."
"Oh, is that so..." Ye Ning said, somewhat embarrassed as she ran her fingers through her tousled hair and quickly hobbled into the bathroom to freshen up.
It turned out Lin Yebai had come early. Seeing that she was asleep, he woke Xiaobao, who let him in, and then took Xiaobao to the supermarket to buy breakfast.
Ye Ning, looking at her disheveled reflection in the mirror, felt a wave of embarrassment wash over her.
Quickly getting herself together, she changed her clothes in the room and then came out, only to find that the man who excelled in cooking had already prepared and served the Hundun.
"Brother Lin, I feel so bad, always inconveniencing you ."
Lin Yebai smiled and handed her the chopsticks, his gaze naturally falling on her foot wrapped in gauze: "Xiaobao mentioned that you went to Blue Mountain Villa yesterday? Are you alright?"
