After everyone guaranteed that Nuannuan would no longer attend kindergarten, Nuannuan transformed back into a cheerful little dumpling.
"Qiuqiu, run faster!" Nuannuan was playing fetch on the lawn with Qiuqiu.
"Ao ao~ (I'm coming! I caught it!)"
Qiuqiu, with a small ball in its mouth, wagged its tail proudly and trotted back.
"Qiuqiu is so amazing," Nuannuan praised, taking the small ball from Qiuqiu's mouth.
"Aowu~ (Of course!)"
At this moment, Uncle Li walked over with a young woman.
"Miss Nuannuan, this is He Manman, the kindergarten teacher specifically hired for you by Young Master."
Although they had decided not to send Nuannuan to kindergarten anymore, the child's education should not be neglected.
Night Jinghuai had originally wanted to invite Teacher Qiuqiu from last time, as everyone had a good impression of her.
However, Teacher Qiuqiu expressed that her dream was to become a kindergarten teacher and stay with children, and the school's benefits were also good, so she kindly introduced a junior student from a family in need.
"Hello Nuannuan, my name is He Manman, you can call me Teacher Manman."
{To support her mother's exorbitant medical expenses, He Manman had to give up her dreams and apply for the Night family for a high salary, becoming a maid. Due to an absurd night, she became this man's plaything from then on, entangled endlessly.}
Nuannuan blinked her innocent eyes. Wasn't this plotline a bit too absurd? How could her father be so overbearing?
"Hello Teacher Manman~"
"Teacher He, then Nuannuan is in your care. Our Young Master said that Nuannuan's happiness is the most important thing. Can the probationary period be two months?"
"No problem, Butler Li, you can rest assured!" He Manman guaranteed.
"Alright, from now on, Teacher He can follow the school's schedule. Of course, if it's inconvenient for you to travel, Teacher He can also stay here. We have staff quarters," Uncle Li explained politely.
He Manman had been worried as the place was too far from her home, making commuting inconvenient. Hearing Uncle Li's words, she immediately felt at ease.
"Shall we go sign the contract then?"
"Okay." With that, He Manman followed him.
Nuannuan stared at He Manman's retreating back for a long time.
"Ao~ (Nuannuan, let's keep playing!)" Qiuqiu nudged Nuannuan's hand.
"Qiuqiu, Nuannuan has a teacher now~ We can't play today!" Nuannuan petted its dog head, and Qiuqiu comfortably narrowed its eyes and rubbed against her palm.
"Ao ao~ (Okay Nuannuan, Dad will always be with you.)"
After signing the contract, He Manman returned to Nuannuan's side, trying to get acquainted with her first and then engaging her in some small games.
He Manman felt that she had gotten along very well with Nuannuan throughout the afternoon, and Nuannuan seemed very happy. wΑp.kanshu伍.net
In fact, Nuannuan was just enduring the boredom and cooperating with He Manman.
When Ye Jinghuai returned in the evening, he naturally had to meet the new kindergarten teacher, as it concerned Nuannuan, and he took it very seriously.
When Uncle Li informed He Manman, she felt quite apprehensive.
Before coming, her best friend had told her that many young masters from wealthy families had hidden sides, and she must protect herself and not lose her principles for money.
He Manman had dismissed it as overthinking at the time, saying, "How can there be so many bad people?" But when she saw Ye Jinghuai sitting on the sofa, she was no longer sure.
He Manman was pure and lovely, standing there delicately like a vibrant little white flower.
At this moment, she felt Ye Jinghuai's gaze intensely upon her, making her feel uncomfortable and causing her palms to sweat with nervousness.
Little did she know, Ye Jinghuai had merely glanced at her casually before his eyes were fixed on the little toddler walking towards them from behind her.
"Nuannuan, come to Daddy," Ye Jinghuai beckoned with a smile.
He Manman had to admit that Ye Jinghuai was a man of great external charm. However, no matter how outstanding he was, she only wanted to do her job honestly and nothing more.
"Daddy~" Nuannuan smiled sweetly and ran into her father's arms.
"Did you have fun with the teacher today?" Ye Jinghuai stroked Nuannuan's little head.
"So much fun~ Hee hee (♡˙︶˙♡)" Nuannuan playfully stuck out her tongue at Ye Jinghuai.
"As long as you're happy."
Saying this, Ye Jinghuai looked up at He Manman again.
"Then, Teacher He, Nuannuan is in your care from now on. To reiterate, prioritize Nuannuan; her happiness is the most important thing," Ye Jinghuai said politely.
"Yes... I... I will definitely work hard, Mr. Ye." He Manman subconsciously took a few steps back.
Ye Jinghuai frowned, wondering if he was that scary. Was this teacher too timid?
Seeing Ye Jinghuai's expression, He Manman thought he was displeased by her distance, but she still didn't want to get closer. She also thought that since the child was present, he wouldn't do anything.
"I know Teacher He has difficulties at home. If you need any help, please don't hesitate to ask. I..." As Nuannuan's teacher, Ye Jinghuai naturally needed to investigate thoroughly before entrusting her.
Before Ye Jinghuai could finish, He Manman hurriedly interrupted.
"Mr. Ye! I only want to earn money through my own labor and do not want to take shortcuts."
Hearing Ye Jinghuai's words, He Manman was startled. She hadn't expected him to investigate her. Why would he investigate her? At this moment, He Manman truly wished to leave, but she desperately needed the salary from this job.
With this thought, He Manman's face paled, and she bit her lip powerlessly.
Ye Jinghuai was startled by He Manman's reaction. He had intended to say, "If you encounter any difficulties, you can ask for an advance on your salary. I don't want personal issues to affect your work performance."
However, seeing that she seemed to have refused, he decided not to say anything further. He also noticed He Manman's pale face and worried she might be ill, fearing she might infect Nuannuan.
"Teacher He, are you feeling unwell? If there are any health issues, I will have to find another teacher." Nothing was more important than his precious child.
"No, please don't. I... Mr. Ye, I am capable of this job, and my health is fine. I have my medical examination report. Please, I cannot lose this job."
He Manman thought he was using her job to threaten her into submission, but she genuinely couldn't afford to lose this job. She resolved to avoid Mr. Ye in the future.
After looking at the medical report and finding no issues, Ye Jinghuai said nothing further.
After all, there was a probationary period. They would try it out for a while. If she was timid, that was fine; she didn't need to interact with him. If Nuannuan didn't like her, they could always find someone else.
"Alright, then it will be a two-month probationary period." Ye Jinghuai nodded.
Nuannuan, nestled in her father's arms, innocently sucked her fingers and looked at He Manman, feeling as if something had gone awry.
She extended her other hand, scratching her little head, feeling a bit puzzled.
