It Started With a Kiss: Leng Shao's Beloved Wife

"Mr. Li, I'm very grateful for your trust and investment, but..." Wu Xinyan hesitated, "I need some time to sort out my family affairs." Mr. Li smiled and nodded, "I understand. Family is important, too. Take your time. There's no need to rush."

Wu Xinyan breathed a sigh of relief after receiving Mr. Li's understanding.

After the new children's education project was launched, she was indeed very busy.

During the day, she runs around various kindergartens and early childhood education centers to discuss cooperation plans with Principal Zhao, Teacher Wang and others. At night, she also has to revise project plans and reply to emails.

Even so, she still insists on picking up and dropping off her children every day and taking them to parks and museums on weekends.

That day, Luo Yichen came home from get off work and saw Wu Xinyan busy at the computer, while the child was playing with building blocks alone.

"Are you busy working again?" There was a hint of dissatisfaction in his tone.

"Well, the project has just started and there are many things to deal with." Wu Xinyan answered without raising her head.

"Where's the child? You don't even take care of him, you just work!" Luo Yichen's tone became a little heavier.

Wu Xinyan finally raised her head and rubbed her sore eyes: "I took him to the zoo today and started working after I came back. Yichen, can you understand me?"

"Understand? You are so busy every day. Can your child be well taken care of? What about his education? Do you think you can just find an early childhood education class and be done with it?" Luo Yichen's nagging was like a machine gun, making Wu Xinyan feel irritated.

"Of course I know the importance of education! This project itself is for the children's education!" Wu Xinyan raised her voice.

"Your so-called educational program means that you have no time to spend with your children?" Luo Yichen sneered.

Wu Xinyan took a deep breath and tried to control her emotions. "This project..." She was about to explain, but was interrupted by Luo Yichen.

"Okay, I don't want to hear your explanation!" He turned and walked towards the study, closing the door with a bang.

Wu Xinyan stared at the closed door, the coffee cup in her hand trembling slightly...

The liquid in the coffee cup swayed, reflecting Wu Xinyan's tired face.

She slowly put down the cup, walked to the study door and knocked gently.

"Yichen, can we talk?"

The door opened, and Luo Yichen stood at the door with a gloomy expression. "What else is there to talk about?"

Wu Xinyan walked in and sat down opposite him.

"I know you are worried about your child's education, and I take it very seriously too. This project is not just my career, it's also about providing better educational resources for children, including our children. You know, many early childhood education institutions now have backward concepts. I want to introduce some advanced foreign concepts and teaching aids so that children can learn and grow in a more relaxed and scientific environment..." She explained the project's concept, future development direction, and possible benefits in detail, trying to make Luo Yichen understand her ideas.

Luo Yichen listened and his expression eased a little, but the furrows between his brows still did not relax.

"These ideas sound good, but have you ever thought about who will take care of your children if you spend all your time at work? Teaching by example is also important."

Wu Xinyan held his hand and said, "I know. I try my best to balance my family and career. Once the project stabilizes, I will reduce my workload and spend more time with the children."

The project was more difficult to advance than expected.

A month later, Wu Xinyan encountered a technical difficulty and domestic experts were helpless.

She had to go to Shenzhen to learn a new technology, which meant she would be away from her children for a while.

"I have to go, otherwise the project can't go on." Wu Xinyan's tone was firm, but with a hint of pleading.

Luo Yichen refused without a second thought: "No! You can't leave your child for work!"

"But……"

"No buts! Do you choose the child or the job?" He said in a firm tone, not allowing any objection.

Wu Xinyan took a deep breath, as if she had made a difficult decision.

"I..." She paused, a look of determination flashing in her eyes, "I'll take the child with me."

The air in Shenzhen is humid and warm, completely different from the dry air in the north.

Wu Xinyan held her son's hand in one hand and pulled the suitcase in the other, following Luo Yichen out of the airport.

The child was full of curiosity about the unfamiliar environment, and his little hands kept pointing at the palm trees and bright flowers on the roadside.

After settling down, Wu Xinyan began her intensive studies.

During the day, she sends her children to a local early childhood education center, which focuses on games and experiential learning, as opposed to traditional rote learning.

In the evening, she would wait until her children fell asleep before she started to organize her study materials, often working until late at night.

Luo Yichen initially scoffed at this "playful" way of education, but when he saw the children having fun in the early education center with smiles on their faces, he began to waver.

He played with building blocks, drew pictures, and did handicrafts with his children, and personally experienced the charm of this educational method.

One day, he saw a child building a complex model with Legos and couldn't help but ask, "How old is this kid?"

"Five years old," Teacher Wang from the early childhood education center replied with a smile. "He has loved playing with Lego since he was young, and his spatial imagination is particularly strong."

Luo Yichen looked at the child's focused eyes and fell into deep thought.

He has always believed that only a solid academic foundation can make his children invincible in the future, but the scene before him made him begin to doubt whether his persistence was correct.

On the last day of study, Wu Xinyan took Luo Yichen and the children to visit a local science and technology museum.

The children were happily experiencing various scientific experiments, their faces filled with curiosity and excitement.

Luo Yichen looked at the child's shining eyes, feeling mixed emotions.

On the way back to the hotel, Wu Xinyan gently asked, "What do you think of the education method here?"

Luo Yichen didn't answer, but silently took the child's hand. Back in the hotel room, he looked at the sleeping child and sighed softly.

The next day, they boarded the return flight.

The moment the plane took off, Wu Xinyan turned to look at Luo Yichen, with a hint of anticipation and uneasiness in her eyes.

Luo Yichen looked out the window with a deep gaze, as if he was thinking about something.

He spoke slowly, "Xinyan, we..."
