Teacher Li looked at Shen Xi and explained in a gentle tone, "Ms. Shen, this outdoor trip our kindergarten has organized is also a great opportunity for parent-child interaction.
In principle, I require every child's parents to accompany them. With three children, and only you attending, you won't be able to participate in many of the parent-child games.
When the children registered, wasn't it mentioned that their daddy would also come? How did it end up being..."
As Shen Xi was surprised by her last remark, Chenchen looked ahead and shouted, "Daddy! Teacher Li, our daddy is here."
Everyone followed his gaze, and saw Qin Si Ye striding towards them with his long legs, dressed in casual wear, his figure tall and straight.
The three children quickly ran over and pulled him to Teacher Li.
Qin Si Ye said with his usual composure, "I apologize, Teacher Li. I was parking just now and was a little late."
"It's alright. It's much better to have two of you from your family. Please join the queue at the back."
Upon hearing this, Teacher Li felt a trace of surprise. Although she didn't understand their family situation, having an extra person attend was always beneficial for class activities.
Qin Si Ye glanced deeply at Shen Xi, took the backpack from her, and also took the bag of food she was carrying. A slight smile played on his lips. "Let's go, we'll join the queue at the back."
It wasn't until the three children tugged at her hands and walked towards the back that Shen Xi slowly came to her senses.
So, all of this had been pre-arranged by them.
All that talk about registering beforehand and not needing her to worry.
And about him just seeing them off and being worried about her driving.
The purpose of all this was this very moment, to have Qin Si Ye accompany them on the outing.
Shen Xi glared at the three children with a hint of anger in her eyes, but was met with their innocent smiles, making it impossible for her to get angry.
Moreover, with people all around, Shen Xi had to suppress her anger for the moment.
It wasn't until they were queuing up to board the bus that she found an opportunity. She pulled Chenchen aside and sternly asked, "Chenchen, you deliberately arranged all of this, didn't you? You've grown quite capable, haven't you?
Did you disregard everything I said?"
This was the first time Chenchen had seen his mother so furious with him. He couldn't help but take a step back, his eyes filling with tears as he looked up at her.
"No, Mommy, I didn't forget what you said. But Teacher Li said that parents must participate in this activity, which is why I did this."
Seeing the child's nervous and timid demeanor, Shen Xi suddenly felt a pang of sympathy, and her tone softened a bit. "I've told you before that Qin Si Ye isn't your daddy. Why are you still clinging to him?
If the teacher requires two parents per family, you could have told me in advance. We could have invited Uncle Jian."
Upon hearing this, Chenchen understood that his mother would rather have Uncle Jian be their temporary daddy than Uncle Qin.
He didn't understand why Mommy always rejected Uncle Qin so much.
Chenchen said with a wronged expression, "These past few days, Uncle Qin has been in your car with us to send us to school. Many of my classmates have seen it.
They already believe Uncle Qin is our daddy. If Uncle Jian were to come, they wouldn't believe it either. Wouldn't that mean we three would be ridiculed by others in class again?"
After listening to him, Shen Xi's thoughts drifted to Bo Jia Kindergarten.
It was there, precisely because they didn't have a daddy, that they were mocked by Lu Yushan's nephew, leading to an incident, after which she transferred them to this kindergarten.
It seemed that not having a daddy had always been a pain in their hearts, thus leading them to take such extreme measures.
"But you should have discussed it with me in advance. Keeping me in the dark like this put me in such an awkward position, do you know that?"
Seeing that her expression had returned to normal, Chenchen knew she had calmed down. He smiled and said, "If I had told you, would you have agreed to Uncle Qin coming?"
At that moment, Teacher Li called out loudly from the bus door, "Ms. Shen, have you finished talking? Our bus is about to depart."
"We're done. We'll be right there," Shen Xi replied, looking up. She then looked down at Chenchen again. "Remember, you can't do this again. No matter what, you have to discuss it with me first.
As long as your reason is sound, I will agree."
