Chapter 205: Will You Marry Nana?

After taking a taxi to the outside of the Manor, she suddenly remembered that Xiaofeng had already started kindergarten, and she should still be at kindergarten right now.

It wasn't even noon yet; she had come too early.

However, the Manor's housekeeper was already waiting for her, and upon seeing her, opened the gate to let her in.

Today, Ye Caiyue and Han Dongbei were both at home, and they warmly invited her to have lunch.

Bai Shuruo said quite embarrassedly, "I didn't remember that Xiaofeng had already started school, so I came early; I'm causing you too much trouble now."

Ye Caiyue said, "What does it matter if it's a little earlier or later? You were going to come over anyway, and you don't have anything to do at home by yourself, right? Besides, coming earlier saves you from cooking; we have everything ready here."

Bai Shuruo still felt awkward.

Fortunately, Han Yangting was not here today; it was Thursday, so he should be at work.

After finishing her meal, she was just about to go to Xiaofeng's room for a nap.

However, she suddenly remembered that her phone was left in the dining room.

She hurried downstairs to retrieve it.

She was currently wearing the special slippers from inside the Castle; the soles were soft, and there wasn't a sound as she stepped on them.

However, the sounds from the dining room clearly reached her ears.

"By the way, you said last time that you would ask Yangting when you had the chance—how did asking about him and Nana go?"

"I didn't ask; how would I dare to ask?"

"Has he not been seeing Nana recently?"

"I know even less about that. He is at the company every day. Besides, Xiaofeng hasn't been back for long. Even if he really wanted to marry Nana, he would have to drag it out for a year or two; otherwise, Xiaofeng would be unhappy. She just came back and already has a stepmother? I don't care; anyway, Xiaofeng is the most important thing right now. I must have Xiaofeng accept Nana before I allow Nana to enter the door."

"So you only want a granddaughter, not a daughter-in-law."

"The granddaughter is already here, and there is only one right now. If I don't treasure her, who would I treasure?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Shuruo only felt a pang of pain.

Forget it; there was a small alarm clock in Xiaofeng's room anyway. She could do without her phone for now; she would just go to the dining room to get it in the afternoon.

Bai Shuruo set an alarm for 3:30 in the afternoon.

Not long after the alarm went off, a servant came up to call her: "Young Mistress, the Master is waiting for you downstairs, saying he will go with you to pick up Xiaofeng."

Bai Shuruo's heart tightened: "Mr. Han is back?"

"Yes."

"I can go pick up Xiaofeng by myself."

"Usually, the Master goes to pick her up in person," the servant said.

Bai Shuruo thought to herself: He really is attentive toward Xiaofeng.

Bai Shuruo messily straightened her clothes and then went down.

The sightseeing cart took her to the main gate, where a business van was parked outside.

The driver came over and opened the back door for her, and she saw that Han Yangting was already sitting inside; at this moment, he was using his computer to handle work, not even lifting his head.

She awkwardly sat inside.

Since he wouldn't greet her, she wouldn't make a sound either, treating him as if he were transparent.

Xiaofeng's kindergarten wasn't very far; it took a little over ten minutes to drive there.

Only then did Han Yangting close his computer screen and take a card from the car as he got out.

"Get out," Han Yangting said to her.

Bai Shuruo followed him out of the car.

The kindergarten had very strict management; parents could not go inside, but after swiping a card, childcare workers would bring the children out.

After waiting for about 5 minutes, they saw two teachers holding Xiaofeng's hands as they came out.

Seeing Han Yangting and Bai Shuruo from afar, Xiaofeng immediately said to the two teachers, "My mommy is here too."

Then she broke free from the teachers' hands and came running over.

The teachers hurried to follow.

Xiaofeng ran out, first throwing herself into Bai Shuruo's arms, and then she hugged Han Yangting, "Daddy, Mommy, you both came today; Xiaofeng is so happy."

On the first day of kindergarten, the teachers taught them to express their emotions; whether happy or unhappy, they had to express it, and Xiaofeng was putting it to flexible use.

At this time, the teachers also caught up, first greeting them, and then taking out a one-page report to detail Xiaofeng's performance in kindergarten today—diet, life, habits, and so on—saying that Xiaofeng had made progress again today; she had been emotional when she came yesterday, but she was very happy today, had met the child sitting next to her, and had played with building blocks together.

Looking at the kindergarten's facilities and the teachers' level of competence, Bai Shuruo felt once again that it was right for Xiaofeng to be with Han Yangting.

Xiaofeng got into the car and kept chattering about things at kindergarten.

For every sentence she said, Han Yangting would praise her for being great.

Xiaofeng: "We were dancing on the playground today, and I fell on my bottom."

"And then?" Han Yangting asked.

"I didn't cry; I got up immediately."

"Xiaofeng is so great!"

Xiaofeng: "We had vegetable puree today, and I didn't eat it; I only ate the cod sausage."

Bai Shuruo said: "Xiaofeng, you are not allowed to be a picky eater; picky eaters won't grow tall."

Han Yangting: "Xiaofeng, everyone has things they love to eat and things they don't like to eat, but you must ensure that your stomach isn't hungry. If you are hungry, you can ask the teacher for another cod sausage."

Bai Shuruo felt angry inside.

Was this Han Yangting deliberately contradicting her?

But it seemed he wasn't wrong either; her father had taught her the same way in the past—if there was something she really didn't like to eat, she didn't have to eat it, but she had to ensure she didn't go hungry.

Forget it, I won't hold him accountable.

Even if she wanted to reason with him, she wouldn't be able to win the argument.

……

That night, Bai Shuruo slept with Xiaofeng again.

The next day was Friday, and since Xiaofeng still had to go to kindergarten, Bai Shuruo naturally had to take him.

However, after dropping Xiaofeng off at kindergarten, Bai Shuruo did not plan to return to the Manor; since Xiaofeng was already at kindergarten, there was no point in her returning to the Manor.

Han Yangting also came along to drop off Xiaofeng, heading to his company afterward.

Before going into kindergarten, Xiaofeng was reluctant to part with Bai Shuruo, and she said to Bai Shuruo, "Mommy, if only you and Daddy could take me to school together every day."

Bai Shuruo glanced at Han Yangting and said, "If Mommy is off, I will come to pick you up together."

Xiaofeng sensibly waved goodbye to both of them.

After dropping off Xiaofeng, Bai Shuruo looked at Han Yangting and said, "Mr. Han, I will just take a taxi back in a moment, you should go to work first."

Han Yangting, however, looked at her and said, "I can drive you to the city center, and you can take a taxi back once you reach the city; it will save half the distance."

After speaking, he did not wait for her to agree, but strode toward the car door and opened it for her.

Bai Shuruo felt that if she were to decline again, it would seem pretentious.

She hurriedly got into the car.

Han Yangting closed the car door and walked around to the other side to get in.

She had originally thought it would be awkward, but after Han Yangting got into the car, he took out his computer and began working, acting as if she did not exist.

She looked out the window, bored.

She had always liked to daydream and could stare out the window for a very, very long time.

The car drove out of the suburbs and entered the city, where there were more and more buildings and the traffic became heavier.

At this moment, Han Yangting's phone rang; he picked it up and called out tenderly, "Nana!"

Bai Shuruo paused.
