The crybaby nanny was bullied and cried again by her yandere husband.

Shen Youqing waited for a long time without receiving a reply, and was about to make a phone call.

Then the other side sent a message back.

Simple and clear.

Mind your own business.

Alright, alright, let's leave it alone and see how this innocent old virgin figures things out on his own, and see when he finally gets it!

Lin Zhao composed herself as several people approached, carrying large and small bags, and respectfully walked to the car.

Shang Yu lowered the car window.

"Put it in the trunk."

After giving a few brief instructions, he rolled up the car window, not giving anyone a chance to see Lin Zhao at all.

The car smoothly entered the main road, and as the traffic increased, dappled sunlight fell on the two of them through the window, subtly creating an ambiguous atmosphere.

Several minutes later, Shang Yu spoke casually and stiffly, deliberately pretending not to care.

"Stay away from that person from now on."

Lin Zhao paused. Although he didn't know why his boss disliked Lin Yu, he still obediently answered in order to keep his job.

"I understand, sir. I won't speak to him first anymore."

Shang Yu's throat bobbed almost imperceptibly, feeling a little relieved, but he still wouldn't let it go, his words carrying a hint of awkward harshness.

"It's not that I'm afraid you'll talk to him."

He paused, then deliberately lowered his voice and offered a stiff excuse.

"Don't associate with people of unknown origin; it's not safe. You're naive and easily fooled by a few words; you'll be the one who suffers in the end."

In fact, Lin Zhao did not think Lin Yu would lie to him. Even though the two had not seen each other for many years, the past did not lie.

But since the man was still angry, he wouldn't be foolish enough to argue with him, so he spoke up instinctively.

"I won't be fooled; I'll only listen to my husband."

The straightforward yet tender words melted Shang Yu's heart, and his ears involuntarily flushed pink.

A barely perceptible smile played on his lips, but only one sentence escaped his throat.

"Um."

After that, he didn't say anything more and just focused on driving.

The car drove towards the orphanage. Lin Zhao didn't know where Shang Yu's company was, assuming it was in the same direction as the orphanage.

Lin Zhao finally spoke when the car was almost in the suburbs.

"Sir, is your company also located in the suburbs?"

Shang Yu paused, his hand on the steering wheel still, without answering directly.

The company is miles away, and he actually thought it was on the way...

Seeing that he didn't reply, Lin Zhao thought she had said something wrong and replied immediately.

"If it's inconvenient to say, then I'll..."

Before he could finish speaking, Shang Yu interrupted.

"I'm not going to the company; there's a project in the suburbs, I might as well go check it out."

He wasn't lying; he just gave the project to Shen Youqing, and there was no need for the general manager of the Shang Group to personally inspect it. He simply wanted to see what the place where Lin Zhao grew up was like.

Before long, the orphanage's weathered iron gate came into view. Lin Zhao's eyes brightened slightly, and he said softly.

"Sir, we've arrived."

Shang Yu parked the car steadily at the gate and looked up at the dilapidated courtyard. It looked quite old, with mottled and yellowed walls, and messy moss crawling on the corners. Even the path in front of the gate was full of potholes, revealing a sense of simplicity and poverty everywhere.

Shang Yu frowned slightly, a strange sense of unease settling over him.

He couldn't imagine that someone as clean, gentle, and kind as Lin Zhao had spent over twenty years alone in such a simple and desolate place.

Before he could speak, Lin Zhao in the passenger seat spoke first, his eyes filled with undisguised joy.

"It's been a long time since I've been back, and the courtyard hasn't changed at all."

As he spoke, he reached out to unbuckle his seatbelt, opened the car door, and said something to Shang Yu before closing it.

"Sir, thank you for bringing me here. See you tonight."

Then he rushed into the courtyard without waiting.

The headmistress had received news of Lin Zhao's impending return long ago and was waiting in the courtyard, leaning on her cane.

From afar, she could see the boy running towards her.

"Headmistress, Mom!"

Lin Zhao jogged over and, just like every time she came back before, gave Dean Chen a big hug as soon as she arrived.

"I miss you so much."

Dean Chen fell and injured his leg a few years ago. Because he didn't have the money, he delayed treatment for a long time, which left him with a chronic condition that required him to use crutches.

"Oh, alright, alright, you're all grown up, why are you still so lovey-dovey?"

The headmistress scolded him playfully, but gently patted Lin Zhao's back, her eyes filled with tenderness and joy.

As soon as he finished speaking, a group of children of all ages in the yard heard the commotion and immediately swarmed over, their chatter filling the entire courtyard.

"Brother Xiao Zhao is back!"

"Did Brother Xiao Zhao bring any candy this time?"

"I miss Brother Xiao Zhao so much! You were gone for so long last time and didn't come back!"

The children clung to Lin Zhao's clothes, their clean and innocent little faces looking up at him with eyes full of dependence.

Lin Zhao was instantly surrounded by a group of children. She gently bent down and patted each child's head, her eyebrows curving into soft crescent moons as she spoke to them patiently and affectionately.

This was the scene that Shang Yu saw when he came in. He stood there, not wanting to disturb this heartwarming moment.

This was a rare moment of relaxation for Lin Zhao while she was at the villa.

But when Chen Yuan saw him, he was dressed in a well-tailored suit and had a noble air about him. He looked a bit out of place standing in the courtyard, but he still followed Lin Zhao in.

Dean Chen nudged Lin Zhao on the shoulder.

"Xiao Zhao".

Lin Zhao instinctively turned around and realized that Shang Yu had also come in, carrying large and small bags. She then remembered that she had been so busy seeing the director and the children that she had forgotten to take her things.

He quickly jogged over, subconsciously toning down his playful demeanor, and called out softly.

"gentlemen."

The children instantly quieted down, looking timidly at Shang Yu, who had a powerful aura and looked somewhat serious. They obediently took a half step back and dared not make a sound.

Shang Yu nodded, and Lin Zhao reached out to take the things from his hands. She then turned and called over a few older children to put the things inside.

She then looked at Shang Yu and thanked him in a low voice.

"Sir, thank you. I was so excited that I forgot to take it."

Shang Yu didn't say anything, but looked at Dean Chen, smiled and nodded, then looked at Lin Zhao.

Aren't you going to introduce it to me?

Lin Zhao realized what was happening and quickly led Shang Yu to Dean Chen.

He stood beside Dean Chen, naturally and obediently taking her arm, then looked at Shang Yu standing there and began to introduce him earnestly and generously.

"Director, let me introduce myself to you."

Lin Zhao's voice was soft and sincere, with a hint of seriousness in her eyes.

"This is Mr. Shang Yu, my employer, and someone who has always taken good care of me. He was passing by today, so he accompanied me back to the hospital to visit, and he even brought a lot of things for the children."

After speaking, Lin Zhao glanced at Shang Yu again, feeling a little nervous, afraid that she had said something inappropriate.

Upon hearing this, the dean immediately smiled and nodded, then looked at Shang Yu with eyes full of gratitude.

Shang Yu, who had been standing to the side with a cold expression, felt a slight warmth in his ears when he heard Lin Zhao introduce him like that.
