chapter 6

Being the class monitor in this kindergarten is no easy task.

You need to excel in all aspects to qualify.

So Huo Mingchen competed to do chores at school.

When he got home, he even volunteered to cook for me.

And so, I enjoyed the care of my bargain son.

Without the slightest sense of guilt.

Time slipped by quietly.

The relationship between Huo Mingchen and me gradually began to change.

It wasn’t until Huo Yu called that I realized-

There were only three months left until the contract ended.

And the female lead, Fan Yao, was about to make her appearance.

It was time to prepare for a graceful exit.

Happily, I opened Xiaohongshu.

Searched: Which city is the most livable?

Can thirty million let me lie flat?

How should I arrange thirty million so I’ll never have to work again?

If I teach the child well, will my employer give me a raise?

……

I didn’t expect Huo Mingchen to find out!

His eyes were red as he questioned me:

“Are you going to leave me behind?”

I broke out in a guilty sweat.

“Haha, what nonsense are you talking about, kid.”

He kept his face tense, but tears rolled down.

“You’re lying, I saw your saved posts!”

I was shocked.

“You looked at my phone?”

Huo Mingchen pouted:

“You asked me to help you edit photos. I couldn’t figure something out, so I looked up editing tutorials.”

This child is too clever, making me break out in a cold sweat.

I hurried to change the subject.

“Our Xiao Chen is amazing, simply the most incredible child in the world!”

But he hugged me tightly.

“Xiaxia, please don’t go, I’ll give you all my New Year’s money.”

I sighed inwardly.

This isn’t something I can decide.

I could only comfort him:

“I promise, I’ll come visit you often, okay?”

“You won’t be lonely, you’ll still have Dad with you!”

Huo Mingchen looked up, his eyes brimming with tears.

“I just want you with me!”

“Dad doesn’t come home anyway, I don’t want Dad!”

Me: ???

At that moment, Huo Yu, who was coming up the stairs and had heard everything, paused.

He’d only gone on a business trip.

How did he lose his son?

Huo Yu walked to the doorway.

Expressionless, he looked at his son, who was buried in my arms, crying his heart out.

In his memory,

Huo Mingchen, though noisy, had never thrown a childish tantrum like this, begging someone to stay with him.

So what exactly had happened in these few short months?

His deep gaze gradually shifted to my face,

Carrying a subtle, probing look.
