Chapter 291 - "Will you be okay with a new daddy?" (1)
By the time Tianbao was finished with is IV, the sky was already bright. Shu Yan yawned a little and glancing over at Feng Zeyu, who still looked spirited, felt envious of him.
“Should we have breakfast out or should we go home for breakfast?” Shu Yan asked Feng Zeyu.
Feng Zeyu paused a little and was tempted. He finally said to her, “Let’s eat out. I’ll take you two home afterward.”
Feng Zeyu had to drive to Shu Yan took over Tianbao, who was awaken in the process. He had been feeling dizzy all night long and just now noticed Feng Zeyu.
“Uncle Feng.” Tianbao gave him a very naïve smile when he saw Feng Zeyu.
“Ah, you are awake. How are you feeling?” asked Feng Zeyu as he rubbed Tianbao on his head.
“I feel better.”
After having some simple breakfast, Feng Zeyu stopped the car in the little district after he had rounded a corner. “I’ll drop you off here. Call me if you need anything else.”
“You don’t want to come up?” asked Shu Yan, looking at Feng Zeyu.
“It’s fine. You have been up all night. You should go get some rest.” Feng Zeyu did not get out of his car. He urged Shu Yan to head home.
Shu Yan knew that he worried about being seen with her. She felt bad. Getting out of the car with her child, Shu Yan turned and looked at the little car that was driving away. She couldn’t keep on dragging this out. This was not fair for Feng Zeyu.
She needed to do some soul searching. How much did she really like him? Did she have feelings for him because of the sense of security he was able to provide to her? Or that she had hero complex after she had heard his past stories? She needed to sort out of her emotions and focus only on her feelings. If she liked him enough to spend the rest of her life with him, then she would do everything within her power to be with him.
Truth was, if she really liked him that much, she was willing to compromise and move somewhere where nobody knew Feng Zeyu. She only picked this place because she was most familiar with it. Now that her life had stabilized in City Nan, she could go anywhere. She didn’t necessarily have to stay here.
Hu Ruixue had mentioned to her a few times already. To switch JingJing over to Nanshan Elementary and Tianbao to Nanshan Kindergarten. This elementary school and kindergarten were not well-known but they were actually exclusive elementary school and kindergarten. They also had junior and senior high schools.
Tuition ran 10,000 yuan a year. 10,000 yuan in the 90s were more than what most families could make in a year. And that what it cost to send one’s child there for a year. And they didn’t just accept anyone. One would need the referral from parents of three current students. The kindergarten was bilingual. Truly bilingual, not like Tianbao’s current place, which was a joke. The quality of their teachers was exceptional. Even the teachers for the hobby classes had lots of awards in the past. Each student was required to pick a hobby. They were welcome to pick more than, if they had the time and energy. The school also had very comprehensive entertainment facilities.
Shu Yan was very hesitant about it. The schools sounded amazing, but would that be too much pressure on the children?
Hu Ruixue’s reply to her was, “What pressure? Pressure was when you realized that others were more superior than you after you have graduated college. Besides, students there don’t have that much pressure. They emphasize on work-life balance. Another reason for the two children to pick this school is to make friends. Friends that you make in school are not the same as the ones you made after you have joined the workforce. These are all your children’s resources in the future. Why else would they found a school like this?”
Her words resounded within Shu Yan for a long while. Or that Shu Yan was already convinced. As such, moving to her wasn’t a big deal.
“Mommy, why didn’t Uncle Feng walk us home?” asked Tianbao all of a sudden.
Shu Yan recollected herself, “He has to go to work still. Do you still have a headache? Are you hungry?”
Tianbao had no appetite at all during breakfast.
“I want to have noodles that Mommy makes.” Tianbao was being coquettish.
“Okay, Mommy will make for you.”
Translator's notes:
I was looking up what exactly is “exclusive kindergarten” and here goes. Allegedly the cost of a year is 70,000 yuan (close to $10,000 USD), more than some families can make in a year. There’s theater room, swimming pool, and arboretum/aquarium…
