“It’s late at night, and the sleepy bugs are crawling into their room…” 

Qin Yang leaned outside the door, listening to Qiao Nian telling stories to the two children. Unexpectedly, he had finally agreed to let Qin Geng sleep with Qiao Mo. Qin Geng had given him puppy dog eyes and he could not resist. 

“Mr. Qin!” A timid voice sounded at the door. Qin Yang looked up. It was Qin Geng’s wet nurse. 

When Qin Geng was born, the family hired three wet nurses for him. After he was weaned, the three wet nurses stayed behind as nannies. He could never remember their names. 

“Mr. Qin, I’m Wang Lian.” Maybe because she noticed Qin Yang’s confusion, the wet nurse took the initiative to re-introduce herself. 

“Oh, Ms. Wang, I’ll go inside later. Dr. Qiao is putting the two children to sleep.” 

“Dr. Qiao is doing what?” Wang Lian asked in surprise. But she immediately hid her emotions. “Okay, then I’ll wait for Geng to fall asleep before I go in.” 

Wang Lian was in her early thirties. The salary of her job in the Qin family was very high. Many people envied her for the life she had made for herself. 

Every time she returned home, Wang Lian would receive compliments from her relatives and neighbors. Thus, after a while, she started developing a superiority complex. 

Wang Lian really wanted Geng to live on. It was best for her if he did. That way, she could work here until she retired. 

There was another hidden idea that Wang Lian had but did not tell anyone. She had divorced her husband three years ago and he had complete custody of their child. Now, she was all alone. She was pretty and had taken care of Geng for five years. If she could be with Mr. Qin, even if she did not have any status, she could still be rich, right? She was in good health. If only she could carry a baby for Mr. Qin… 

However, Qin Geng no longer needed breast milk. He had been drinking regular milk for two years now. She needed to think of a way to make him get attached to her. 

It was not the time to think of all these things now. Wang Lian calmed herself down and put on a docile expression. “Mr. Qin, it’s late. You should go to sleep. I’ll go in when Dr. Qiao comes out.” 

In the bedroom, the two children were holding hands and falling asleep. Qiao Nian listened to the two children’s long and deep breathing. She tucked them in and tiptoed back to the guest room. 

At that moment, the door opened. Wang Lian walked in and said softly, “Dr. Qiao, you can go back. I’ll take care of things here.” 

After saying that, Wang Lian walked to the night bed in the corner and rolled up the bedding she had brought. Wang Lian loved to enjoy herself. She did not use the linen that was provided in the room. She always brought the bedding that was provided by the Qin family. Today, she brought an Italian handmade cashmere blanket. This kind of blanket was light and soft, and it cost tens of thousands of dollars per blanket. It was not something you normally see in the market. 

Qiao Nian saw that the person was in her thirties. Just now, when Qin Yang left, he did tell her that there would be a nanny staying the night. Qiao Nian didn’t want to stay any longer, but when she passed by Wang Lian, she suddenly smelled a strong fragrance coming from her body. It was not good for a child to breathe in such a strong fragrance. 

Qiao Nian frowned and said, “Ms. Wang, the perfume you are using is not conducive for a child’s sleep. Can you stop wearing it in the future?” 

After she finished speaking, she picked up the blanket that Wang Lian had brought and said, “It’s best that you don’t use this blanket here. Although cashmere is very comfortable, cashmere products are prone to pilling. The fibers are too thin, and the lungs of children are not as strong as those of adults. This is not good for their breathing.” 

“Are you teaching me how to do things?” 

Wang Lian had heard in the afternoon that Geng called Dr. Qiao his mother. She was already very angry, now, she could not sit still after being criticized by Qiao Nian. “I have been taking care of Geng for five years. Where did you come from? Is my cashmere quilt not good? You’re the one who needs to change, Dr. Qiao! Look at what you are wearing! Didn’t your mother teach you not to dress so vulgarly in other people’s homes? You look like a common wh*re instead of a doctor!” 

“Auntie Wang!” Wang Lian’s voice woke Qin Geng up. He heard his wet nurse being so rude to his mother and was so angry that his little face turned red. “If you say that again, I’ll ask you to get out! I don’t need an auntie like you!” 

“Geng!” Wang Lian hurriedly walked to Qin Geng’s bed. “Don’t listen to this bad woman! I’m the one who treats you sincerely. This woman is a liar!” 

“You are not my mother. Qiao Nian is my mother!” 

Little Geng’s big eyes were full of tears again. “You bullied mommy; you are the bad person! I don’t want you to accompany me! Go away!” 

The argument also woke Qiao Mo up. She rubbed her sleepy eyes and said, “Geng, mommy said that if you meet a bad person, you can just run away. Why are you crying? You have to fight for yourself. Also, go quarrel outside! Don’t disturb my sleep!” 

After saying that, Qiao Mo rubbed her eyes and went back to sleep. She was used to such things. If Geng did not fight for himself, then he was not worthy of being her mother’s son!
