Before he died, my grandfather forced me to marry the richest man in the capital.

The following summer vacation, July 1st.

Sunshine Central Kindergarten is a prestigious kindergarten in the capital, a place where children from wealthy families gather. Its teaching staff, facilities, and tuition fees are all beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Anyone with money would go to great lengths to get their child into this school, only their initial motivations differ. Some want to provide their child with the best environment and education, some want to boast and satisfy their vanity, and others want to curry favor with the powerful and wealthy people there. Everyone has their own purpose.

However, it was the headmaster who insisted on sending Ji Hancheng's child there. In order for Xiaoyouzi to attend this school, the headmaster even went to the Ji Group in person.

Originally, Tang Junyao did not plan to send Xiaoyouzi to this school. The reason was simple: it was too commercial. She preferred that her son be exposed to a normal kindergarten environment.

Her biggest worry was that if Xiaoyouzi went to this school, she would be spoiled by the teachers and principal.

It's not easy for children to learn good things, but it's very easy for them to learn bad things.

Today is the first day of the kindergarten's parent-child class.

The main purpose of setting up this summer program is to help children get familiar with the kindergarten environment before school starts on September 1st, thus reducing their sense of resistance to the start of school.

The task for the first day is for parents to play games with their children at the kindergarten for a full 3 hours.

After a week of getting used to the environment, the child will need to stay in the kindergarten by themselves for a morning, and then be picked up by their parents after lunch. In the last week, the child will need to stay in the kindergarten for one day, and be picked up at 3 pm.

Tang Junyao and Ji Hancheng both care about their child going to kindergarten. Xiaoyouzi looked particularly handsome today, wearing a white sweatshirt, cargo pants, brown ankle boots, a baseball cap, and a bear backpack.

Little Strawberry was wearing a pink princess dress with a fluffy skirt adorned with small diamonds and sequins. She had two little braids, a bunny hair clip on her head, and a bunny backpack on her back.

With her makeup on and dressed in matching colors, Su Xue touched her daughter's braids and led her inside. Lu Jinnan, wearing a bright pink sweatshirt, followed beside her. He complained that he was still reluctant to let his daughter go to school, "Why send her to a parent-child class? It would be so much better if she just started school on September 9st."

Wearing a casual shirt, Ji Hancheng also led his son inside, but with his other hand he was holding Tang Junyao's hand. "Do you know what a parent-child activity is?"

"Nonsense, you think you know anything? The way we're holding hands now is what you call parent-child bonding. You call your son an accident and your wife your true love," Lu Jinnan retorted, glancing at Ji Hancheng beside him.

Ji Hancheng ignored Lu Jinnan and tightened his grip on Tang Junyao's hand. Many teachers came out to greet them, led by the principal and vice-principal, all with smiles on their faces. "Mr. Ji, welcome, welcome! Mrs. Ji, hello!"

Tang Junyao wasn't used to this kind of grand occasion. Going to kindergarten felt like attending a banquet. The principal's smile easily gave people the illusion that it was her son's wedding day. That's why she secretly wanted to send her son to a regular kindergarten.

But she still politely replied, "Hello."

Ji Hancheng didn't say anything, but just nodded slightly as a polite greeting. This also set an example for Xiaoyouzi, as it was a rule that Tang Junyao had set for Ji Hancheng to lead by example.

The principal didn't mind Ji Hancheng's coldness. It would be scary if this person were enthusiastic. His expressionless face was normal. As long as he came, that was fine. She turned her attention to Lu Jinnan. "Mr. Lu, Mrs. Lu, this is the young master and young lady's homeroom teacher, this is the assistant homeroom teacher, this is the auntie, and this is the auntie in charge of meals."

The teacher being introduced simply nodded with a smile and didn't say anything. The principal did most of the talking while the children listened. The homeroom teacher was a married woman in her thirties with a soft, gentle voice. According to the principal, this homeroom teacher was the most patient and responsible for the children in the entire kindergarten.

Led by the group, we arrived at Xiaoyouzi's classroom. The classroom was very large, and the toys inside were all high-end. The nap room was also very spacious, with no bunk beds, only single beds side by side.

The teacher was communicating with the children and guiding them to sit down in their seats, while there were already many other parents and children in the classroom.

Su Xue, arm in arm with Tang Junyao, walked around the entire classroom like a leader inspecting the place. When they arrived at the nap room, Su Xue reached out and touched the material of the blankets, and couldn't help but exclaim, "Tsk tsk tsk, as expected of a prestigious school. Look at these blankets, they feel a bit like silk. Is this bed made of Phoebe zhennan wood?"

Tang Junyao also noticed that the school's decor was very luxurious. "Otherwise, how could it be worthy of the word 'noble'? Alright, let's go."

As soon as I came out, I saw Lu Jinnan playing with the toys in the classroom, while Ji Hancheng sat on a small stool with a cold face like an old man. The stool was really too low for this man who was over 1.8 meters tall. It was obvious that he was not comfortable sitting there. His legs were bent, which looked very awkward.

Because of the man's cold expression, the parents who wanted to exchange pleasantries fell silent.

Su Xue chuckled and whispered in Tang Junyao's ear, "Your husband, Lao Ji, seems to be undergoing a tribulation."

"If he doesn't have a cold face, the area around here will turn into a vegetable market. Let's tell them not to come tomorrow, just the two of us." They'll just be sitting there anyway, and we can't keep a cold face in the classroom every day, especially since this man is too conspicuous.

Su Xue agreed, "That's fine too. I'll tell Xiao Nan not to come tomorrow. Let's try it out for a few days. If it's suitable, we can study here. If it's not suitable, we'll find another place. I want to see if Yueyue likes it. But these conditions are indeed OK."

Little Yuzi is very aloof. When the other children talk to him, he always keeps a cold face and doesn't answer. When the teacher asks him a question, he will answer politely, but he will only say one or two words at most.

Little Strawberry was a bit timid and stayed close to Little Grapefruit, not daring to move, calling softly, "Brother."

Little Yuzu replied calmly, "Mmm."

Seeing the two children sitting together instead of going to familiarize themselves with the classroom, the homeroom teacher didn't urge them. She already knew the children from wealthy families quite well; they were all rather strong-willed. It was already good that one was quiet and didn't cause trouble; at least they wouldn't cause a ruckus. "Are you good friends?"

Little Strawberry nodded. Su Xue bumped into her best friend at the door and said, "Lele is getting more and more aloof. Your husband's genes are definitely top-notch. It's good that way, we can rest assured about Yueyue in the future."

Su Xue nodded in satisfaction, looking like a mother-in-law who was very pleased with her son-in-law.

Tang Junyao glared at Su Xue, "You're always so forward! They're only in kindergarten. Aren't you thinking a bit too far ahead, sis? Do you even know if your Xiao Nan would agree to this?"

"I've made the decision on this; it's not up to my Xiao Nan."

Su Xue leaned on her best friend's shoulder and whispered, speaking with certainty. Tang Junyao didn't want to argue with her about this anymore; the child would decide what to do next.

They're only so young, in kindergarten, they're thinking too far ahead.

The teacher patiently communicated with the two children to help them get acquainted. Neither Xiaoyouzi nor Xiaocaomei showed any aversion to the school environment.

There were the sounds of children wanting to go home all around.

In comparison, Little Yuzu and Little Strawberry are much more sensible. They don't make a fuss and stay in one place to play with their younger sister.

A few hours later, the four of them walked out of the school gate together, followed by the principal and vice-principal. The principal smiled obsequiously, "Lele, Yueyue, what do you think? Do you like this school?"

Little Strawberry didn't speak, her gaze fixed on Little Pomelo, as if waiting for her brother's answer. Ji Hancheng noticed, his thin lips curving slightly, and he chuckled softly, "Do you like it?"

Little Yuzu: "Hmm, okay." Anyway, they're all pretty much the same in kindergarten.

Seeing that her brother had relented, Little Strawberry smiled sweetly and said, "I like it."

Ji Hancheng didn't agree immediately, but instead put on airs, "Let's go back. Let the child digest this tonight; he's a bit out of it right now."

Principal and Deputy Principal: "............"

"Oh, of course, of course. Take your time to consider it. Just let us know whenever you want to attend class." The principal hoped that Ji Hancheng's child would come to school here.

Ji Hancheng took the child's little hand, nodded, and said, "Mm."

In public, Lu Jinnan and Su Xue maintained the proper conduct expected of parents, refusing to act irresponsibly and embarrass their daughter.

As soon as they arrived at the parking lot, Lu Jinnan asked, "Brother Cheng, shall we go?"

Ji Hancheng opened the car door, ready to let the child get in, but Xiaoyouzi refused to get in and was talking to Lu Jinnan's daughter. However, it was mostly Lu Jinnan's daughter talking, and Xiaoyouzi was listening, occasionally giving a response.

"What, if I go, you go too, to go up the mountain and fight tigers?"

Lu Jinnan replied in a serious tone, "It's not just about fighting tigers; if you were fighting a war, I'd be there too." And he meant it.

The jokes concealed the truest emotions, and Ji Hancheng could see it. "It's up to Lele, Lele, are you sure you want to go? If you are, the little sister will go with you."

Little Yuzu paused for a moment, seemingly thinking, then said casually, "Hmm, let's go."

Tang Junyao was amused by the little guy's expression, but she said rather reluctantly, "You're actually quite reluctant." You know how many people want to get in but can't.

Little Strawberry, afraid her mother wouldn't agree, looked up and asked for her opinion, "Mom, I want to go to school here too."

Su Xue waved her hand and readily agreed, "It's no big deal, let's do it."

"Brother, let's go to school together!" Little Strawberry was very happy, and with her head down, she told Little Grapefruit the good news.

Little Yuzu smiled, a rare occurrence for her. "Okay."

Now that the matter had been agreed upon, the group parted ways.

"Say goodbye to your brother," Su Xue told her daughter.

Little Strawberry: "Goodbye, brother, see you tomorrow."

"goodbye."

Inside the car, Tang Junyao sat in the passenger seat, while Ji Hancheng pressed the accelerator and steered with one hand. In the rearview mirror, they could see Lu Jinnan's car following behind.

"Your son is becoming more and more like you. Try to smile at him more often."

"It's better for boys to be a little aloof. Someone like Lu Jinnan is insecure and like a firework. If he's aloof, girls will be afraid to get close. Someone like me is only devoted to you." The man said this seriously, while also praising himself.

Tang Junyao was speechless, feeling that it was right yet also wrong.

Changing the subject, "Han Yue went to Lancheng to pick up Xixi today. Once Xixi arrives in the capital, he'll have her stay at the Ji residence for a few days."

Ji Hancheng chuckled, dismissing Tang Junyao's idea, "Don't even think about it." Han Yue would definitely disagree; he could invite her to the Ji residence during the day, and she would be there to pick him up on time in the evening.
