Chapter 348: The Best Mommy in the World

“Mommy!”

When she saw that familiar slender figure, little Qin Yiyi’s big eyes lit up instantly.

Not even bothering to put the <Xiyouji> back into her backpack, she hugged it clumsily and ran toward that direction, immediately pouncing into her mother’s soft and fragrant embrace.

After a bit of mother-daughter affection, the young woman with delicate features crouched down, gently stroking the little one’s head with a tender voice: “Xiao Yiyi, did you listen to Teacher Chang today?”

“Yiyi was very obedient! If you don’t believe me, ask Teacher Chang!” Upon hearing this, Qin Yiyi immediately huffed, looking toward Teacher Chang beside her with sparkling eyes.

“Yiyi’s mom, Yiyi was indeed very well-behaved today, quietly reading a book.” Teacher Chang explained with a smile, casually smoothing the little one’s braids.

Lin Xinyuan couldn’t resist pinching her daughter’s chubby little cheeks once more before looking back at Teacher Chang, her tone sincere: “Mm… thank you, Teacher Chang.”

As she spoke, she tucked a strand of jet-black hair behind her ear, offering a gentle smile.

Toward the caresses from her mother and Teacher Chang, Qin Yiyi, who usually acted like a little adult in the kindergarten, obediently didn’t resist, just staring with two bright big eyes, looking left and right, utterly adorable.

“Yiyi’s mom is too kind, it’s simply my duty.”

Seeing this, Teacher Chang said modestly, also sighing inwardly once again.

She felt that Yiyi’s mom really looked so young—if not for her attire and that certain aura, one would never guess she was already a mother.

And reportedly she was already twenty-eight this year, yet her face was as youthful as a high schooler’s…

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Lin Xinyuan prepared to say goodbye.

“Xiao Yiyi, say goodbye to Teacher Chang.” After being escorted out of the kindergarten gate by Teacher Chang, Lin Xinyuan held the little one’s hand and gave it a gentle swing.

Hearing her mother’s words, Qin Yiyi didn’t hesitate, naturally waving at Teacher Chang with a healing smile: “Sister Chang, see you next week!”

This was what her mommy told her to call her—saying that at the kindergarten she should call her Teacher, but outside the kindergarten she could call her Sister!

Hearing the little one’s address, Teacher Chang was also delighted, her smile growing even warmer, as if all the day’s fatigue had been dispelled by the little angel.

Plus, since it was finally the weekend rest time, she was in a very good mood.

“Eh, goodbye Yiyi, goodbye Yiyi’s mom, take care~”

After bidding farewell to Teacher Chang, Lin Xinyuan held Qin Yiyi’s little hand and walked toward her white sedan parked not far away.

As they walked, she asked her daughter in a soft, gentle voice: “Xiao Yiyi, how did you feel today? What did you do? Can you tell Mommy?”

Hearing this, Qin Yiyi walked while swinging her mother’s soft, slightly cool hand, placing her index finger at her lips in a thoughtful pose.

“Read in the morning… eat… nap… played on the slide with Yaya, read in the afternoon… Sister took us to play Eagle Catches Chicks… then read books… then waited for Mommy! That’s everything!”

The little one listed out everything she did today in clear order, then tilted her little head up to look at the most beautiful mommy in the world, squinting her eyes with a look of wanting praise.

Lin Xinyuan found it a bit amusing, but she didn’t hold back her praise: “Xiao Yiyi is the best! Keep it up, Mommy will always support you.”

“Hehe…”

Hearing this, if the little one had a cat tail, it would probably be sticking straight up in the air, her expression filled with the joy of being acknowledged.

And soon, the little one seemed to think of something, tugging at Mommy’s hand to signal her to let go.

Lin Xinyuan didn’t ask questions, obediently releasing her hand, and her footsteps stopped along with Qin Yiyi as she watched her daughter shift the backpack she was carrying to the front and rummage around inside.

Until, after a moment, she finally pulled out three neatly folded snow-white test papers from the backpack.

Only then did Qin Yiyi break into a big smile, holding them out directly in front of Lin Xinyuan like presenting a treasure: “Mommy, I scored One Hundred Points on all of them this time!”

As she said this, she looked at Lin Xinyuan with eager eyes, really wanting her mommy to praise her once more.

Seeing this, Lin Xinyuan wasn’t surprised at all, because she knew her daughter was naturally very smart, scoring perfect marks every single time.

According to Grandmother, she was just as smart as Feng Ge when he was little… almost able to learn everything much faster than the average person…

Logically speaking, since her daughter was so talented, she should hold even greater expectations for her—after all, she and Feng Ge only had this one daughter…

Grandmother had indeed urged her to have another one, saying it was fine to give Xiao Yiyi a little brother or sister, so the little one wouldn’t have to be so lonely in the future.

She felt that made sense too, but somehow that certain someone refused to let her have another.

At the thought of this, Lin Xinyuan pouted inwardly.

Back then, it was that someone who refused to take safety measures, resulting in her getting pregnant with Xiao Yiyi, and then later it was also that someone who lectured her about it…

He really was an irresponsible Chou Zhanan…

Of course, complaining aside, she also knew it was because the man worried about her health…

Back to the main point, although Lin Xinyuan did dote on Xiao Yiyi quite a bit, she hadn’t changed her educational approach because of her daughter’s talent.

Instead, influenced by her own experiences, she didn’t want her daughter to bear any pressure; she only wanted Xiao Yiyi to live a happy, blissful life…

The result of this was that in today’s increasingly competitive era, she had no intention of forcing her daughter to cultivate any special skills from a young age.

Even if the family’s circumstances were more than favorable, it was the same…

She simply wanted to wait until her daughter developed an interest in something, brought it up to her and Feng Ge, and then let the little one learn—it wouldn’t be too late.

Interest is the best teacher, and the efficiency would definitely be twice the result with half the effort.

And because of Lin Xinyuan’s educational philosophy, she also praised the little one’s grades without hesitation every time.

Praise when praise is due, and discipline when discipline is needed…

“Great job, Xiao Yiyi~”

After praising her, Lin Xinyuan didn’t forget to take the little one’s test papers and carefully read through them.

Not because of the questions on them—after all, for her, just one glance was enough to figure out the answers.

She was more concerned about her daughter’s handwriting, especially the little diary at the end of the Chinese test paper.

She could often see Xiao Yiyi’s true feelings there, like right now.

「Last weekend, I went with Daddy and Mommy to Grandma Ping’s house for a meal! The dishes Grandpa Ming made were so delicious, I ate until my belly was full. Mommy actually said I was a Little Fat Cat! I was very angry! But Mommy said that was her way of saying I was cute. Oh, so that’s how it is? Then from now on, I want to become a Little Fat Cat every day…」

Looking at the neat yet childish handwriting and the content of the composition, Lin Xinyuan read with great interest, only after a good while refolding the paper and handing it back to the little one.

“Very good… but you also need to balance Work and Rest with your studies, and have fun too…”

“Mm-hm! Mommy, I know! I need to balance Work and Rest, Sister Chang teaches us that too! Otherwise I’ll get nearsighted!”

Qin Yiyi put the test papers back into her backpack, zipped up the Zipper, and put the backpack on her back, then upon hearing Mommy’s words, nodded earnestly and firmly.

“Good girl…” Lin Xinyuan held the little one’s hand and continued walking, unable to help but let out a light laugh at her words, her voice soft and sweet.

The mother-daughter duo’s laughter faded into the distance, leaving only cheerful sounds that drifted to the ears of nearby parents who had just arrived to pick up their children.

Some envied the atmosphere between this strikingly beautiful mother and daughter, some envied the little girl’s intelligence, while a few female parents began to feel jealous of the woman.

Why was it that at the same age, she got to live so comfortably?

So young, she clearly looked like a University Student, probably being kept by someone, having given birth to a Private Child…

Heheh… it must be that…

Of course, there were also plenty of male parents who seemed to have long heard from their own kids that there was an adorable little girl’s mother at Beihai Kindergarten who was unbelievably beautiful!

Those who hadn’t seen her before didn’t think much of it, but now that they encountered her, they nearly lost their composure.

Among them, a man in his early thirties was particularly dazed, staring blankly at the graceful figure holding the little one’s hand in the distance, unable to snap out of it for a long time.

“Excuse me? Are you here to pick up your child?”

It wasn’t until he heard the security guard’s question that the man finally came back to his senses, a bit embarrassed: “Oh, oh, yes…”

As he replied, he quickly pulled out his Pickup Card and swiped it on the card reader with a “beep.”

After picking up his son and exiting the kindergarten gate, the man recalled the mother-daughter conversation he’d overheard earlier and couldn’t help but ask: “Son, didn’t your grades come out today? How did you do?”

Hearing his father’s words, the little boy was momentarily stunned: “Forgot… I think… I left it in the classroom…”

Upon hearing this, the man couldn’t help but shake his head. He didn’t need to think twice to know how his son’s grades were, but he didn’t scold him much.

He was fairly lenient with his son, believing that kindergarten and elementary school should be for playing; otherwise, once middle school started, there would be six years with no time to play.

But in stark contrast, his wife had always placed high hopes on their son, to the point of being strict!

Thinking of his wife, and then recalling that young woman he’d only glimpsed once, the man couldn’t help but feel why was the gap between people so huge?

Not to mention looks, not only were their personalities worlds apart… their approach to raising children was also like this…

The key point was that he didn’t dare to intervene either, or else his wife would make a scene with him…

Thinking about it, he glanced at his son, let out a sigh, and thought to himself.

Son… you’re on your own tonight…

Dad can’t help you…

I’m going to go play games…

Hehe…
