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 tough Crown Prince is taken care of.

Of course, the latter part was only dared to be said in one's heart, not blatantly out loud.

Jian Si patted his head, her face full of indulgence, "He's so well-behaved and obedient, quite charming indeed!"

The atmosphere instantly froze.

Everyone's expressions on their faces simultaneously stiffened, showing different degrees of cracks.

They couldn't help but groan inwardly.

Only Professor Jian would say he's well-behaved and obedient.

Those two adjectives simply don't fit him, Lu Yanbai, do they?

He was a complete little devil incarnate.

Seeing that no one else spoke, Jian Si walked to her desk and let Lu Yanbai sit obediently on her lap while she started prescribing medicine on the 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 ringing in his ears, "Children should not stare at the computer screen too much, it's not good for their eyes."

As her voice faded, those present collectively drew in a breath of cool air, secretly clutching their hearts for her.

Daring to talk like that to the little Crown Prince, Professor Jian was definitely the first.

They could already foresee the dreadful scene to come.

Even Ye Qingqing was prepared for Lu Yanbai's wrath.

After all, her pseudo-nephew was notoriously bad-tempered, throwing and smashing things at the slightest dissatisfaction, not even Lu Youting could handle him.

However, to everyone's surprise, not only did Lu Yanbai not throw a fit, he actually buried his head into Jian Si's embrace and softly agreed, "Oh!"

Such a simple word, even with a hint of pleasure.

His mood seemed pretty good.

Everyone's eyes widened in astonishment, shocked as if they were seeing something incredible, they could hardly believe that this was the same fearsome Crown Prince who made everyone keep their distance.

Suddenly, someone teased, "Professor Ye, look, your own aunt can't compare to a newcomer."

An unintentionally teasing remark made Ye Qingqing's face turn red instantly.

She walked over to Jian Si, indignant and reaching out to hold Lu Yanbai, "Xiao Bai, Professor Jian needs to write a prescription, and it's not convenient for you to be on her lap. Come to your aunt first, and you can go back after Professor Jian is finished."

Unexpectedly, as soon as her hand touched Lu Yanbai, he forcefully broke free, screaming without any regard for her feelings, "Don't touch me, I only want her, just her, you get lost..."

His rejection left Ye Qingqing extremely embarrassed, her small face instantly turning as red as a monkey's butt, wishing she could crawl into a hole.

Jian Si, worried that his hard-won stable mood would become uncontrollable again, quickly held him closer, "No need, he's not in the way while sitting in my lap."

Ye Qingqing withdrew her hand sullenly.

Yet, she clearly felt that everyone's gaze at her held a bit of a meaningful look.

Almost every doctor in the office was there.

Her face had completely lost face this time, and her hatred for Jian Si and Lu Yanbai deepened.

After Jian Si finished prescribing the medication, she disregarded everyone's probing gazes and carried Lu Yanbai back to the ward.

Since the mother and son recognized each other, Lu Youting had completely become invisible.

Lu Yanbai clung to Jian Si all day long.

He wanted her to hold him for injections, she had to feed him his meals, and he even wanted her to accompany him to the restroom.

Lu Youting's heart was like being soaked in a vat of vinegar, sour enough to bubble.

The little guy, who had never been in the habit of napping, surprisingly fell asleep on Jian Si's body, his small hand still tightly clutching her clothes for fear that she would leave.

Jian Si had exhausted a lot of effort, but still couldn't pull her clothes out of his hand, so she just gave up trying and let him hold on.

Lu Youting finally found the opportunity, took a deep breath, and exhaled the turbid air that had been pent up in his chest all day, sourly saying, "A real ingrate, after raising him for so many years, he's not even as close to you as he is to me after half a day."

The thought alone was disgusting.

Jian Si gave him a sidelong glance and said speechlessly, "So childish!"

Lu Youting stared at Lu Yanbai's grip on Jian Si's clothes, the sight growing more and more irritating.

Jian Si noticed his gaze and couldn't help but laugh, "Ever heard of a mother-child bond? He was carried by me for ten months, he's a piece of flesh that fell from my body. When I was pregnant, I talked to him every day, told him stories, and you, only contributed a single 'J'."

Lu Youting was at a loss for words and fell silent.

But his heart felt even more stifled.

Seeing his unhappy expression, Jian Si's mood suddenly improved a lot.

Jian Si glanced outside at the light of day and pulled out her phone to check the time, "It's four o'clock, I'm off work now!"

Chenbao and Yueyue got out of school at five.

It took her half an hour from the hospital to the nursery school, and then another half an hour to buy groceries.

The timing was just perfect.

Hearing that she was about to leave, his face rapidly darkened, recalling the scene where the little tyrant wouldn't see her upon waking up, Lu Youting shuddered violently.

He was really frightened by this little guy's antics.

Guessing his concerns, Jian Si said, "If he wakes up and looks for me, let him send me a video! I'll talk to him."

After saying this, she took out her phone and asked, "Does Xiao Bai have a phone or a phone watch?"

Lu Youting, with a dark face, took a phone watch out of the drawer, only to discover it was already broken by the little ancestor. Out of options, he and Jian Si added each other on WeChat.

The little guy was probably in deep sleep, because when Jian Si tried to pull at her clothes again, they came out with a light tug, she properly covered him with the blanket, took one last look at him and left with reluctance.

After changing into her regular clothes, Jian Si arrived at the parking lot, just opened her car door when suddenly a hand came out of nowhere, slamming the car door shut.

Jian Si followed the arm upward and was met with Ye Qingqing's fierce and twisted face.

Jian Si's alarm bells rang, and without making any fuss, she covertly glanced at the nearby surveillance camera, and with a pressed smile said, "My dear 'sister', what urgent matter do you have stopping me like this?"

The word 'sister' was heavily emphasized.

It carried undisguised contempt and mockery.

Instantly reminding Ye Qingqing of her own origins, her face turned even uglier.

"If you had left, why did you come back? Wasn't it good staying abroad? Why did you come back to fight over Lu Youting and Xiao Bai with me?"

Jian Si scoffed, "I'm not interested in Lu Youting, if you want him, take him, I won't fight with you over him. But Xiao Bai is my son, what right do you have to claim him?"

Ye Qingqing suddenly grew agitated, grabbed Jian Si's arm and shook violently, "In the four years you weren't here, it was me who cared for him tirelessly, sacrificing my dreams to study medicine for his sake. I've given up no less than you have as a mother, how can you come back and simply negate my efforts?"

Jian Si was amused by her words.

"Did you do it for him or to please Lu Youting, you know very well in your heart, can you not paint yourself so saintly?"

Her true motives exposed, Ye Qingqing's eyes flitted with embarrassment, and she lost the momentum she had with her words.

It was at this moment that she saw Lu Youting approaching from behind Jian Si.

A malicious scheme surfaced in her mind.

Her lips curled into a wicked sneer, grabbing Jian Si's hand she cried out, "Sister, let go of me, where are you taking me? I don't want to go…"

With that, she let go, falling backward, her palms hitting the ground first, the pain caused her to sharply inhale.

From Lu Youting's angle, it looked exactly like Jian Si had pushed Ye Qingqing down—
