Chapter 23: Chapter 1 023 Going Public with the Relationship_1 Chapter 23: Chapter 1 023 Going Public with the Relationship_1 “Hmm…” Qin Muchuan chuckled. “It seems you’re very invested in your current job, with high expectations!”

“We’re all serving the people, regardless of our positions!” Xiao Qingyu said calmly, without a hint of resentment.

Qin Muchuan smiled without saying much. “Online registration is almost over, with the deadline at midnight. The selection process will then begin.”

“A mass audition? How many spots have you prepared? The number can’t be too large. That would cause a lot of pressure for our education department. How would we arrange for these students with special talents?” Xiao Qingyu asked worriedly.

The objective of the ‘Yutong Education Plan’ was to allow children with talents to directly enter the best primary schools in the locality for cultivation.

It also served to alleviate the issue of educational inequity and enhance the corporate image of ‘Huatai’ group, making the event a multi-win situation.

“Don’t worry about that, even if you could accommodate all, I wouldn’t be able to support so many children.” Qin Muchuan smirked uncontrollably. “My daughter’s plan involves answering questions online and a few rounds of exams to finalize the list of candidates.”

“Hmm? Doesn’t sound very comprehensive. What if adults help answer the questions? How would you know?” Xiao Qingyu knitted his eyebrows.

Qin Muchuan smirked, proudly claiming, “My daughter has already thought of countermeasures and solutions for this.”

…………..

After washing several days’ worth of accumulated laundry, Lin Xiangwan opened the door to her son’s room, only to find him still sitting in front of the computer, which worried and angered her.

“Why aren’t you in bed yet? What time is it?” She asked sternly.

Lin Haoran turned his head to look at his mother as he explained, “Mom, I’m answering questions online. If I get them right, I might be sent to a key primary school. This way, you won’t be placed in a tough spot!”

“Ah?” Hearing this, Lin Xiangwan’s eyes brightened. “Such an opportunity exists?”

“Yes, it’s organized by a foundation to cultivate intelligent and capable children!” Lin Haoran grew more excited the more he spoke. “Look! This whole thing could really be custom-made for me!”

Lin Xiangwan glanced at the rules with a hint of disbelief. It seemed too good to be true. She thought this type of event was usually a mere publicity stunt arranged by corporations and the government. The children who ended up participating were always pre-selected. How could an ordinary child ever have this kind of opportunity?

“Just go to sleep, who sends you to a key primary school—let it be my concern. You focus on doing what you’re supposed to do!” Lin Xiangwan persuaded her son aptly.

Although Lin Haoran was always playful, he took things seriously once he committed to them. If he didn’t achieve the anticipated results, he would be very upset.

His mom wasn’t willing to let her precious son be disheartened by society’s unfair practices.

However, Ranran was quite persistent. “Mom, just let me try. I really think I can do it. I know all the answers to the questions, like which monster Ultraman fought in episode five, or what the third line of the ‘Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf’ theme song is. How could this be a challenge for me? As for attending a key primary school, I’m not that interested. But I am keen on participating in this type of test!”

Lin Xiangwan felt even more upset. With such simple questions, it was indeed just a formality designed to trick the public.

“Mom, you should go to sleep. You have to work tomorrow!” Lin Haoran said understandingly.

Mommy was so touched that she nearly burst into tears.

The next second, Lin Haoran added, “Mainly because you’re in the way here!”

“Huh…” Lin Xiangwan’s imminent tears disappeared. “I’m in the way?”

“Uh…” Lin Haoran blushed and shyly responded, “Mommy is so beautiful, and it’s night time, I can’t stop my wild thoughts!”

Lin Xiangwan nearly spit out a mouthful of blood. What on earth could her six-year-old son be fantasizing about? “Son, tell mommy honestly, what exactly are you fantasizing about?”

“Hehe…” Lin Haoran blushed even more, lowering his head as he spoke, “I fantasize about sleeping in mommy’s arms!”

This didn’t bother his mom in the least. “If you want to hug me while sleeping, go ahead. It’s not like you’ve never done it before. If I remember correctly, until last month, you used to snuggle up to me every night!”

“But I’ve grown up now, I can’t just touch mommy’s ‘breasts’ whenever I want, but I really want to!” Lin Haoran sighed!

Soft, warm, and fragrant… he really liked it!

“Oh…” Lin Xiangwan couldn’t help but laugh again. “That’s true; you’ve grown up now, you can’t keep thinking about ‘breasts’. Otherwise, you’ll be teased by your teacher and friends!”

Lin Haoran asked unhappily, “Mom, does this mean I can never touch your ‘breasts’ again? Wuuu, I really like touching them, won’t I be able to in the future?”

This must be the biggest tragedy in life.

“Unless you want to become a child again, I’m afraid there’s no chance!” Seeing her son’s sorrowful face, mom really wanted to tell him that his days of touching ‘breasts’ are ahead of him; there’s no need to rush.

However, how could she bring herself to say such a thing? The thought had to be swallowed instead!

…….

After finishing the first round of questions with her son and putting him to sleep, Lin Xiangwan finally crawled into bed.

In the silent night, she couldn’t sleep and picked up her cell phone habitually, opened her WeChat Moments.

A photo clearly appeared in her field of vision.

Was Song Yichen with Ni Shanshan?

The two of them seemed to be attending a banquet, Ni Shanshan was dressed in a revealing tight silver outfit, clinging to Song Yichen, they both seemed very pleased!

And Song Yichen didn’t push her away; the two clearly conveyed the message they were dating to the outside world!

Lin Xiangwan’s heart suddenly tightened, causing an intense pain!

No wonder that for all this time, Song Yichen hadn’t called her!

No wonder, even though they both worked in the same hotel, she still didn’t find the opportunity to see him.

It really is… they’re together!

Tears quickly blurred her vision, and her nose was so sore that she could hardly breathe.

She wiped away her tears, forcing herself not to cry!

All this while, she had been telling herself that she and him were never meant to be together in this life. She could only be his younger sister… why should she cry?

But… why does her companion have to be Ni Shanshan?

Ni Shanshan is not worth his affection!

The phone ring interrupted her thoughts—it was a call from Ni Shanshan.

Calling at this time, it was obviously a demonstration of victory, wasn’t it?

She decisively switched her phone to silence mode. Want to show off to her? Only if she gave the opportunity to do so!

But Ni Shanshan didn’t give up and sent a message again———
