Chapter 10: Chapter 10: The Mistress's Set-Up Exposed by Jian Si
Someone gave her a thumbs-up, full of admiration, "Professor Jian, you really have a way."
Even the difficult Crown Prince has been handled.
Of course, they only dared to say the latter part in their hearts, not openly.
Jian Si patted his head, her face full of doting, "He's well-behaved and obedient, quite likable indeed!"
The atmosphere suddenly froze.
Everyone's expressions stiffened, showing different degrees of cracks.
They couldn't help but grumble in their hearts.
Only Professor Jian would say he's well-behaved and obedient.
Those two adjectives really don't fit Lu Yanbai at all, do they?
He's a complete little devil.
Seeing that no one was talking, Jian Si went to her desk, had Lu Yanbai sit quietly on her lap, and then started prescribing medicine on her computer.
Lu Yanbai sat quietly, his eyes curiously fixed on the computer screen.
Suddenly, a pair of hands blocked his view, followed by Jian Si's gentle voice, "Children shouldn't look at computer screens too much, it's bad for the eyes."
As her words fell, everyone present sharply inhaled, secretly squeezing a cold sweat for her.
Daring to speak to the little Crown Prince like that, Professor Jian was definitely the first.
They could already foresee the terrible scene that was about to unfold.
Even Ye Qingqing was prepared for Lu Yanbai to lose his temper.
After all, her pseudo-nephew was famously hotheaded, throwing and smashing things when things didn't go his way, and even Lu Youting couldn't do anything about him.
However, to everyone's surprise, not only did Lu Yanbai not get angry, but he also burrowed his head into Jian Si's embrace and softly responded, "Oh!"
A simple word, even carrying a tone of pleasure.
His mood seemed pretty good.
Everyone was dumbfounded, shocked as if they had seen something unbelievable, hardly believing that this was the terrifying Crown Prince who made everyone keep their distance.
Suddenly, someone teased, "Professor Ye, look, your own niece, and she's being outdone by a newcomer."
A casual jest turned Ye Qingqing's face red immediately.
Feeling indignant, she walked over to Jian Si and reached out to hold Lu Yanbai, "Xiao Bai, Professor Jian needs to write a prescription, and it's inconvenient for you to sit on her lap. Come to your aunt first, and you can go back to her after she is done."
Unexpectedly, just as her hand touched Lu Yanbai, he pushed her away excitedly, shouting without any mercy, "Don't touch me, I just want her, only her, get away from me..."
His resistance terribly embarrassed Ye Qingqing, her face instantly turning as red as a monkey's butt, wishing she could crawl into a hole.
Fearing his hard-won stable mood might once again become uncontrollable, Jian Si hugged him tighter, "It's okay, he's not in the way sitting in my arms."
Ye Qingqing reluctantly withdrew her hand.
Yet, she could clearly feel the intriguing glances from everyone.
Almost all the doctors in the office were present.
With her face completely lost this time, her hatred for Jian Si and Lu Yanbai deepened.
After prescribing the medicine, ignoring the inquisitive looks, Jian Si carried Lu Yanbai back to the ward.
Since the mother and son had recognized each other, Lu Youting had completely become a non-entity.
Lu Yanbai clung to Jian Si all day.
He wanted her to hold him for the injections, she had to feed him his meals, and she even had to accompany him to the bathroom.
Lu Youting's heart felt like it was soaking in a vat of vinegar, souring by the minute.
The little guy, who had never been in the habit of taking afternoon naps, had unexpectedly fallen asleep on Jian Si's body, afraid that she might walk away, his small hand still clutching tightly onto her clothing.
Jian Si had tried with great effort but was unable to pull her clothing out of his grip, so she simply gave up and let him hold onto it.
Lu Youting finally found an opportunity, took a deep breath, and exhaled the murky air that had been suffocated in his chest all day, lamenting bitterly, "What an ingrate—after raising him for so many years, he's not even worth half a day compared to you."
The thought was utterly nauseating.
Jian Si gave him a sidelong glance and said, speechlessly, "How childish!"
Lu Youting stared at the hand Lu Yanbai had on Jian Si's clothing, the more he looked, the more it irked him.
Jian Si noticed his gaze and couldn't help but laugh helplessly, "Do you know what they say about the bond between a mother and her child? He was carried by me for ten months, he is a piece of flesh that fell from my body. When I was pregnant with him, I talked to him every day, told him stories, while you, contributed nothing but a sperm."
Lu Youting was so blocked up that he was left speechless and stopped talking.
But inside, he felt even more suffocated.
Seeing his unpleasant face, Jian Si suddenly felt much better.
Jian Si glanced outside at the sky and then checked the time on her phone, "It's four o'clock, I need to get off work!"
Chenbao and Yueyue get off from school at five o'clock.
It takes her half an hour from the hospital to the kindergarten, and another half hour to buy groceries.
The timing was just right.
Hearing that she was leaving, his face suddenly turned dark, recalling the scene of the little tyrant waking up and not seeing her, Lu Youting shuddered violently.
He was really terrified by this little fellow.
Guessing his concerns, Jian Si said, "If he wakes up and looks for me, just let him send me a video! I'll talk to him."
After that, she took out her phone and asked, "Does Xiao Bai have a mobile phone or a phone watch?"
Lu Youting, with a dark face, took a phone watch from a drawer but found it had been smashed by the little ancestor. Helpless, he and Jian Si added each other on WeChat.
The little guy might have entered deep sleep, for when Jian Si tried again to pull her clothing, it slid out effortlessly, she covered him properly with a blanket, took one last look at him, and then reluctantly left.
After changing into regular clothes, Jian Si arrived at the parking lot, just as she opened her car door, suddenly a hand came across and forcefully slammed the door shut.
Following the arm upwards, she saw Ye Qingqing's fierce and twisted face.
Jian Si instantly became alert, without showing any reaction, she glanced at a nearby security camera and smirked, "My dear 'sister', why do you stop me? What can I do for you?"
The word "sister" was heavily accentuated, completely undisguised with contempt and mockery.
Ye Qingqing was reminded of her own background and her expression turned even uglier.
"If you had already left, why did you come back? Isn't it better to stay abroad? Why come back and compete with me for Lu Youting and Xiao Bai?"
Jian Si sneered coldly, "I'm not interested in Lu Youting, you can have him if you want. I won't compete with you. But Xiao Bai is my son, what right do you have to claim him as your own?"
Ye Qingqing, suddenly agitated, grabbed Jian Si's arm and shook it desperately, "In the four years you were gone, it was I who cared for him tirelessly, giving up my aspirations to study medicine for him. The sacrifices I made are no less than those of a mother like you, why do you get to dismiss my efforts the moment you return?"
Jian Si was amused by her words.
"Are you doing this for him or to please Lu Youting? You know very well yourself, so don't portray yourself as so noble, okay?"
Her motives exposed, Ye Qingqing's eyes flashed with mortification, and her bellyful of words suddenly lost their foundation.
Just then, she saw Lu Youting approaching from behind Jian Si.
A malicious scheme formed in her mind.
The corners of her mouth wickedly curved up, and grabbing Jian Si's hand, she screamed, "Sister, let go of me, where are you taking me? I don't want to go..."
After speaking, her hand relaxed, and her body fell backwards, her palms landing first, causing her to sharply inhale from the pain.
From Lu Youting's perspective, it looked exactly as if Jian Si had pushed Ye Qingqing down.
