Chapter 71: Chapter 71: Stay Away from Him!
Chapter 71 -71: Stay Away from Him!
Last night, Yin Hehe stayed with the child at Emperor Noble Manor.
She was supposed to arrange a separate room for him, but ever since she took him to her own room, she hadn’t seen him wanting to leave.
So, she asked the servants here to bring an extra quilt.
“Xi Bao, how about we sleep together tonight, and each of us will have our own quilt, okay?”
“Hmm.”
The little guy, who was playing with a tablet, agreed without even lifting his head.
Seeing this, Yin Hehe smiled, turned her head, and began to make the bed.
What she didn’t know was that the little guy wasn’t paying attention to her because he was happily chatting with someone on the tablet.
[See? I told you, if you keep pestering her, my mommy won’t abandon you.]
As it happened, at the other end of the tablet was Cen Bao, who was far away in M country.
[…Okay.]
[Oh, and if you sleep with my mommy tonight, you can ask her to tell you a story, she tells them really well.]
[…]
In that moment, the four-year-old little guy sat stunned on the mini-sofa.
No one had ever told him a story before.
Ever since he could remember, he had been sleeping alone in a room, with no one to accompany him, and no one to wonder if he was afraid or not? The only things that could accompany him to sleep when it was quiet at night were his favorite toy figures.
[Why aren’t you talking anymore? Doesn’t my mommy want to tell you a story? Then you should act a bit spoiled with her, charm her with some sweet talk.]
Cen Bao, on the other side of the tablet, offered his advice again when he saw there was no reply for a long time, thinking something was wrong over here.
That’s how his mommy was, a lady who could be easily softened by a little coaxing.
[No.]
Sheng Xi came back to his senses and sent out two characters.
By now, Yin Hehe had finished making the bed and was preparing to get him to take a bath.
“Xi Bao, do you need an auntie’s help with your bath, or will you wash by yourself?”
She took out a big bath towel and two sets of children’s sleepwear, simply bought by her brother, and asked gently.
“Plop,”
The little guy didn’t need this service.
After turning off the tablet and tossing it aside, he climbed down from the sofa with his little arms and legs, snatched the towel, and ran into the bathroom.
Yin Hehe watched with amusement.
He was so young and already knew shyness.
In the end, she did not disturb him but instead prepared a cup of warm milk for him while he was taking his bath in the room.
Soon, the sound of the shower head in the bathroom stopped.
“Are you done washing? Then auntie will come in and dry your hair,” she immediately put down what was in her hand and got up to go.
However, she discovered that by the time she reached the bathroom, amidst the misty water vapor, the little guy was already dressed neatly.
Yin Hehe: “…”
He was so young, yet so independent, not even Cen Bao could dress himself this neatly.
Suddenly, a pain struck Yin Hehe’s heart.
She walked over, ignoring her own sore feet, and scooped the little guy into her arms.
“Baby, you did great, auntie will dry your hair.”
“Mhm.”
The little guy also obediently agreed.
That night, not only did the two get along very happily, but when it was time to sleep, in the gentle sound of Yin Hehe’s storytelling, she even saw the little guy lean against her and fall asleep.
And this, as far as she knew, was something that the naturally wary little creature didn’t allow anyone to do.
—
The next day.
When Yin Hehe woke up, she found that the child beside her was already gone.
“This…”
“Miss Han, don’t worry, our master took him away. It seems that Mr. Sheng called and wanted him to be sent to kindergarten,” the servant quickly explained upon seeing her anxious look.
So that’s what happened.
Yin Hehe finally let out a sigh of relief.
Getting up from the bed, after washing up, she came downstairs to see the little courtyard bathed in the morning sun, where brother Yin Beixiao had already returned.
At this moment, he was sitting at a small table eating breakfast.
“You’re up? Come and have breakfast.”
Yin Beixiao saw her, put down the steamed bun he was eating, and served the girl a bowl of porridge.
Yin Hehe hurried over.
“I’m sorry, Mr. Yin, I brought that child back last night and caused you trouble.”
“It wasn’t a bother, but don’t do that again in the future. You know what Sheng Siyuan is like—he has always loathed my sister. If you get too close to him, I’m afraid he’ll bite you like a mad dog, just like he did before.”
Yin Beixiao reminded her once again.
As his voice fell, Yin Hehe, who had just taken a seat, didn’t make a sound, but the fingers holding the spoon turned slightly white.

Of course, she knew how much that man hated her.
Just yesterday, despite all the evidence, he chose to protect his darling. Furthermore, at the end, he outrageously turned around and bit her, accusing Yin Hehe of framing his favorite!
“Don’t worry, Mr. Yin, I won’t do it.”
She quickly assured her brother, her demeanor returning to normal.
Yin Beixiao then felt satisfied.
“By the way, I heard there was a little problem in the kitchen yesterday? What happened? Is everything alright?”
He brought up another topic and immediately inquired.
Yin Hehe promptly explained, “The supplier delivered the wrong ingredients. Don’t worry, I’ve had the restaurant manager sign contracts with all our suppliers to ensure such mistakes don’t happen again.”
“That’s good to hear.” Yin Beixiao breathed a sigh of relief.
“The state banquet is tomorrow. Before the event, Baiqing Building must maintain vigilance. Jinse had an issue yesterday, which I didn’t expect. Xiaohan, if you’re up for it, I still want you to keep an eye on things.”
Suddenly, her brother’s tone became serious, almost pleading with Yin Hehe.
Yin Hehe was taken aback.
She would definitely keep an eye on things—and would head there with him later.
But her brother was the man in charge of Baiqing Building. Did he really need to beg a nanny for help?
Or was it that there were actually very few people by his side whom he could trust?
And as for Aunt Jinse’s sudden illness…
Yin Hehe’s fingers slowly clenched.
—
At the gates of the kindergarten.
Sheng Siyuan was driving the little tyke here when he received a call from an official source.
“Hello, President Sheng, I’m the mayor’s secretary. Regarding the banquet tomorrow, are you really unable to attend?”
“No.”
His slender fingers maneuvered the steering wheel and he responded decisively.
Upon hearing this, a note of regret came through from the other end of the line.
“President Sheng, that’s such a pity. Let me share a bit of insider information with you. Actually, this banquet is mainly to discuss the development of Qiandao Lake in Jiangbei. Provincial City intends to turn this island into a scenic spot.”
“…”
The man who had just parked his car furrowed his brows slightly upon hearing this, showing a moment of hesitation.
Qiandao Lake was something he had set his sights on two years ago, but at the time, Provincial City had remained silent and local officials didn’t dare to hand it over to him.
After weighing his options for a moment, Sheng Siyuan finally agreed.
“Alright, then I’ll go tomorrow.”
“That’s excellent, President Sheng. I will call Baiqing Building now to reserve a good seat for you.”
With that, the secretary hung up the phone.
Baiqing Building?
Hearing about this place, the man remembered it was Yin Family territory, and his chiseled face darkened again.
“Mr. Sheng, you’re bringing the child over? Just open the car door, and I’ll take him inside.”
Having just parked the car, the new kindergarten director, greeting the children at the gate, saw the familiar black Bentley and immediately approached with enthusiasm.
Sheng Siyuan, seeing this, had no choice but to temporarily suppress the displeasure in his heart.
“Sheng Xi, get out of the car!”
He opened the door and instructed the little guy in the back seat.
The little tyke obediently shouldered his backpack.
Sheng Siyuan: “…”
Suddenly, he felt even more unsettled.
Why was this tyke so well-behaved today? Not even a bit of backtalk, how did that woman manage it?
