Shadow and Light: The Bride Who Clicks Her Way to Love-Chapter 425 - 438: The Kids Go to Kindergarten

She naturally wouldn’t say anything voluntarily and was happy to pretend nothing happened.

The two accompanied the elders for breakfast, speaking cautiously in front of the children. Even Du Shuxian, perhaps because she discovered Han could accompany Jue, turned from disapproval to genuine affection, urging Han to eat more during the meal.

After breakfast, she and Lu Shifeng took the children to send off several elders.

Only then did she truly relax, feeling utterly exhausted as if she had fought a battle.

Lu Shifeng looked down at her and said, "You’ve worked hard."

She glanced at him coldly, then went off on her own to play games with the two children.

Lu Shifeng watched the backs of the large and small figures as they walked away, his gaze becoming deep and somber again—these two children were a real nuisance and must be sent to kindergarten.

A few days ago, he had already asked someone to find a kindergarten, and now, after carefully selecting, he chose one quickly.

That night, he went to find Su Xingyu and placed a thick stack of kindergarten information beside her: "This is the place I chose for Jue and Han, Xiu Mountain Kindergarten in the suburbs. You know Xiushan Town, it’s a very elegant scenic area, surrounded by private vacation estates, no idle people. The kindergarten over there has a good environment, built over a hundred years ago, many of the city’s celebrities studied there as children, including me. The faculty is strong, facilities are advanced, and the children all come from prestigious families, which is good for Jue and Han."

Su Xingyu had initially thought his idea was temporary, not expecting that he had actually found a kindergarten for the children.

She didn’t agree with Lu Shifeng’s decision: "Although it’s not good for children to stay at home for long, you have to consider Jue’s special condition. Even if his heart disease is cured, there’s still autism. Can you guarantee he’ll be well cared for in kindergarten? He’s not like other kids; it’s more reassuring to keep him at home."

Lu Shifeng said, "I’ve already informed the kindergarten about Jue’s situation; they will specifically assign teachers who can care for autistic children."

Su Xingyu said, "So what? No matter how well they’re cared for, it’s not as detailed as family care."

"Xingyu, you’re too tense about Jue," Lu Shifeng said, "He’s the eldest of the Lu Family, and will eventually have to face the world. In the future, when he grows up, you and I get old, even die, what will he do? He must start learning now how to interact with the outside world, especially by making a few friends from noble families like him."

Make friends?

Su Xingyu really wanted to ask who besides Han could tolerate Jue’s unpredictable temper but held back knowing it was too hurtful.

"Anyway, I disagree!" she said.

"Going to kindergarten is good for the children," Lu Shifeng said. He could compromise with Su Xingyu on certain things, but not on this. He truly considered the children’s benefits, and only by sending them away and increasing his alone time with Su Xingyu could he win back her heart. Once he won her heart, it would be very beneficial to the children.

Su Xingyu was furious with him: "No way!"

"Jue’s guardian is me," Lu Shifeng looked into her eyes and said, "Xingyu, of course, you’re my lawful wife and also Jue’s nominal co-guardian. But haven’t you always refused to acknowledge your status? If you’re willing to acknowledge your status, stop trying to divorce me, and live well with me in the future, then I’ll agree to your exercising authority over Jue, and won’t send him to kindergarten."

"Lu Shifeng!" Su Xingyu was so angry she could spit blood. How could this person be so despicable!

She would never agree to such terms; no matter what, she had to find a way to finalize the divorce procedures with him!

Since they couldn’t reach an agreement, Lu Shifeng didn’t force her and sent Jue to kindergarten the next day.

Jue was sent alone, without Han.

Because he knew very well, Han was Su Xingyu’s bottom line and feared sending Han away would make her truly go all out against him.

Xiu Mountain Kindergarten was quite far from their residence, requiring helicopter transport for the children to and from school daily. Fortunately, their villa was in a wealthy area, equipped with a small helicopter landing pad, and the kindergarten was also a noble one, having all the necessary amenities available.

But on the first day, when Jue was brought back by the servant from kindergarten, he was noisy and tantrum-throwing the whole way.

The child’s noise was earthshaking; Su Xingyu, together with Han, couldn’t calm him down even after comforting him for a long time, until late at night when Jue finally fell asleep from exhaustion.

Su Xingyu was deeply distressed and said to Lu Shifeng: "You’re so heartless, the child is still so young! Don’t send him to kindergarten tomorrow, he’s not adjusting at all!"

"Children need an adaptation period when going to new places." Lu Shifeng remained unmoved; although he was also heartbroken, what he previously told Su Xingyu was not solely to persuade her—he was genuinely worried about what would happen to Jue being left alone in the world when he grew old and passed away. He must learn to interact with other children, at least to leave a childhood impression on other noble children, so perhaps one day if Jue faces difficulties, they might consider their kindergarten friendship and help him.

The odds were very small.

But, as a father, he couldn’t relinquish even the smallest chance.

Su Xingyu was so angry her liver hurt. The next day, she watched helplessly as the crying, fussing Jue was carried onto the helicopter by the servant, even Han crying along.

The harsh reality told her that no matter what, she couldn’t stop Lu Shifeng from tormenting the children.

Considering it over and over, on the third day, she finally sent Han to kindergarten too.

She didn’t believe the kindergarten was suitable for the two children, but she was too worried about Jue. An autistic child, alone in such a strange environment, might he be ostracized by other children? Feeling utterly isolated, would his feelings be dreadful? At least with Han accompanying him, the situation might improve a lot. After all, Han had a close bond with him, was naturally sociable, and was suited to being a bridge between Jue and the outside world.

Lu Shifeng’s eyes showed a touch of victorious color.

Great, these two little rascals were finally sent away, and his time alone with Xingyu would increase significantly.

Su Xingyu’s mood was exactly the opposite, utterly dreadful.

She realized, Lu Shifeng hadn’t changed a bit in four years, still as autocratic, stubborn, resorting to any means necessary to achieve his goals...

The little bit of goodwill she had felt for him because he healed her face quickly dissipated in this kindergarten incident.
