Chapter 1897: A Single Mother's Life Isn't Easy

"I want to, but I don't dare. There are so many negative news stories about nannies lately; no one can guarantee that a nanny hired will treat the children with genuine sincerity."

Zihan said, "I know a nanny who is very good and very responsible, but Yuanyuan definitely won't accept anyone I recommend. Sister-in-law, could you help me send her over?"

Zihan did not tell Su Qiangying the truth. He said he wanted to send a nanny over, and Su Qiangying did not suspect anything else, agreeing immediately: "Alright, I'll send her over."

She called Yuanyuan and finalized the matter immediately.

It was only when Yuanyuan heard that the nanny's salary was only one thousand yuan per month that she hesitated: "The salary is so low? Won't there be a problem?"

"There won't be any problems. This nanny isn't short of money; she's just bored at home alone and wants to pass the time. She likes children, so it's a way to look out for each other."

So that was it; the burden in Tian Yuanyuan's heart was lifted.

After Zihan finished dressing up, he looked at himself in the mirror, still feeling a bit unsure of himself.

"Can you really not tell it's me?"

He decided to go out for a walk to make sure there was truly no problem before going.

He walked out of his home and took a big lap around the residential compound.

Familiar neighbors walked toward him, but they looked at him as if they hadn't seen him at all; he finally felt relieved.

At Tian Yuanyuan's home.

He took a deep breath, trying hard to calm himself down, and then pressed the doorbell.

The one who opened the door was Tian Yuanyuan. She was slightly stunned when she saw him, then looked him up and down.

He put on an act and said in a fake voice: "Hello, may I ask if you are Miss Tian Yuanyuan? I am the new nanny, Zhang Ruying. You can just call me Sister Zhang."

There was still a trace of suspicion on Tian Yuanyuan's face, but she still warmly invited the person into her home.

"Please come in, please come in. You've come at just the right time; my house is about to become a total mess. Your job is very simple: pick up and drop off the children at kindergarten every day, and keep them company after school until I get off work."

"Is there a problem?"

"No problem."

He agreed readily.

After Tian Yuanyuan finished giving instructions, she took him around to every room to familiarize him with the situation at home.

The Tian family's home was a three-bedroom, two-living-room apartment. The place wasn't big, only one hundred square meters. The large room was originally occupied by Tian Yuanyuan's parents, but later, after Tian Yuanyuan brought the children back, this room was given to the three of them.

The old couple lived in the second bedroom.

There was also a smallest room used as a Study. The apartment here wasn't even as big as one of his suites; he finished walking through it in a few steps.

Tian Yuanyuan's mother was currently hospitalized and not at home, so during the day, he was the only one there.

After Tian Yuanyuan went to work, he called a part-time worker from a housekeeping company to clean the entire apartment until it was spotless, and ordered many semi-finished dishes from a restaurant, arranging them neatly in the refrigerator.

After getting all this done, Zihan sat on the sofa, crossed his legs, and watched TV. At noon, he cooked a meal and personally delivered it to the hospital.

"Who are you?"

The Tian parents looked at the strange woman, very puzzled.

Zihan smiled and said: "I am the nanny in your home. The young lady asked me to come over to pick up and drop off the children and share the housework. I have already cleaned the house very thoroughly, and since there was still time, I brought the meal over."

He even pulled up photos of the house to let the old couple inspect his "labor results."

The old couple were both people who loved cleanliness, but after the wife was hospitalized, the house had become as messy as a garbage dump; the old couple had just been talking about this matter.

Looking at the clean and tidy home, the two were very satisfied with the nanny in front of them.

After eating the food he cooked, they were even more satisfied.

It was delicious in color, aroma, and taste—truly excellent.

Finding such a nanny was truly finding a treasure.

At the hospital, Zihan fully displayed his "social butterfly" side; he made the old couple laugh until they couldn't close their mouths, feeling as if they had met too late in life.

Happy times pass quickly. Soon it was time for the children to get out of school. Sheng Zihan went to pick up the children, first arriving at the school gate to wait for Tian Yuanyuan.

For the first time picking up the children, Tian Yuanyuan had to take him there, otherwise, the teachers would not let a stranger take the children away.

Tian Yuanyuan smiled when she saw him and spoke to him very kindly: "Thank you, Sister Zhang. My mother already called to tell me just now. Actually, you don't need to go to the hospital to deliver food; that's not your job."

Zihan said: "I'm the type of person who can't stay idle. If I don't have work to do, I feel restless and uncomfortable inside. It's fine, I like to work."

"It's really not easy to find a nanny like you nowadays. Thank you."

"You're welcome, as long as you're satisfied."

The two chatted as they walked, and soon they arrived at the kindergarten.

Most of the people standing at the kindergarten gate were mothers, or of course, the children's grandmothers.

A place with many women is a gathering place for gossip.

The two waited at the kindergarten gate, and Zihan could clearly feel that the gazes coming from all around were not very friendly.

Moreover, there were people behind them whispering and gossiping. Although people lowered their voices, a few sentences still drifted over with the wind.

"Look, that's the single mother of the twins."

"Really? Didn't they say those two children have a father?"

"What are you talking about? They don't look like him at all. What kind of father? The children have never even seen what their father looks like..."

"How pitiful!"

Zihan couldn't help but clench his fists. He really wanted to give these people who liked to gossip behind others' backs a few punches, specifically hitting their mouths!

He heard these words, and there was no reason for Tian Yuanyuan not to hear them!

However, she was very calm, as if she hadn't heard them at all. She even smiled at Sister Zhang and said to her: "Don't worry about what others say. Live your own life. If you care too much about other people's thoughts, then you don't need to live."

He really wanted to comfort her a few words, but he didn't know what to say.

All of this was caused by him. The culprit wants to comfort the victim?

Don't be ridiculous.

Fortunately, at this moment, the school bell rang, and the two Baobao came running out, throwing themselves into their mother's arms.

"Mommy, did you miss us?"

"We missed Mommy so much..."

The two children's little mouths were as if smeared with honey, and the words they spoke were exceptionally sweet.

It was evident that the gossip had not yet affected the children; they were still young now, and even if they didn't care, if things remained this way when they grew up, it would certainly cause no small amount of harm to their development.

Zihan secretly made a decision that she must put an end to this situation as soon as possible.

When the children saw the "auntie" by their mother's side, they were not shy, but instead greeted her very politely.

"Hello, Auntie."

"Pretty Auntie, I feel like I've seen you somewhere before; you feel so familiar..." The boy, Qiqi, was a little chatterbox and also very outgoing.

Zihan picked him up with a smile and said earnestly, "Is that so? I also feel like I've seen you somewhere before. Let me guess—hmm, I've guessed it; I probably saw you in a dream."

"Auntie, I like you."

"I like you too."

Blood ties are truly a magical thing; the father and son chatted very congenially, and basically, no one else could get a word in. From then on, it was entirely the world of the chatterboxes.

Wenwen asked Mommy, "Mommy, where did this auntie come from?"

Tian Yuanyuan: "She is a nanny introduced by Auntie Su. Do you like her?"

"Mm, I like her."
