Chapter 46

Chapter 46

At the tender age of five, Liu Chen had always been pampered and raised with utmost care.

When it was time for him to start school as per their arrangement, his family didn't need to pick him up or drop him off; he had a dedicated driver and bodyguard to escort him.

The first time Shen Wei laid eyes on Liu Chen, this little boy looked like a cute, chubby dumpling.

His dark, sparkling eyes were absolutely adorable, and he would politely greet the teacher with a "Good morning, teacher."

He seemed to have excellent home training.

Although it was their first meeting, the little boy carried himself with remarkable poise.

However, his eyes couldn't help but wander, taking in his surroundings.

He was still a bit shy and quiet.

In the Liu Family, Liu Chen was the little prince.

The other nephews were over a decade older than him, so he was currently the most doted upon child.

Everything he ate, drank, and played with was of the highest quality.

Especially his diet—it was exceptionally light and healthy, tailored for his delicate digestive system. He had never tasted street foods like sausages or skewers before.

Yet this week, Liu Chef had arranged for them to sample street food delicacies.

These dishes, forged through the trials of street vendors and beloved by the masses, were utterly destructive to the palate of the young master Liu Chen.

Liu Chen had his eyes opened to a whole new world.

Add to that his first experience with new friends.

The atmosphere in the class was wonderful. As soon as the other children saw how adorable Liu Chen looked, they all eagerly flocked to play with him.

Liu Chen had never encountered so many peers his own age before. Some little girls even vied to be his "girlfriend."

Children are simply honest and passionate when they take a liking to someone.

But Liu Chen shyly declined, saying he was too young to have a girlfriend.

His earnest explanation was met with a resigned "Okay, then."

Liu Chen even went after them to apologize. This innocent, childish banter not only amused Shen Wei but also brought a smile to the young teaching assistant's face.

Liu Chen was a little sweetheart. Even at such a young age, he had an endearing charm that would undoubtedly captivate girls in the future.

Here, no one knew about his family background, and without adults' guidance or prior favoritism, children simply accepted each other as they were.

For the first two days, Liu Chen was still quite polite and reserved, but after that, he too joined in the fun, always reluctant to leave and turning back for one last look after each dismissal.

Once he got home, the little rascal would sigh wistfully.

She was a severe germaphobe, and seeing her precious, well-raised grandson all sweaty and disheveled was unsettling.

At that moment, the Third Young Master Liu's wife let out a shrill exclamation, "Oh my god!"

Her child, who had never been so dirty before, was actually playing with children's mud, completely covered in it.

It drove her crazy. He had to transfer schools! What kind of place was this, with teachers letting children play in the mud, exposing them to who knows how many germs?

Her best friend, however, was engrossed in watching, telling her, "Look at the child."

The Third Young Master Liu's wife glanced at the TV and froze in astonishment.

She had never seen Liu Chen so happy before.

In their wealthy circles, children were taught from a young age to be polite and modest, just as society expected of well-mannered children from prestigious families. But they seldom smiled with such carefree joy.

"What's wrong with you?" her friend asked.

The Third Young Master Liu's wife felt her face and realized that at some point, tears had welled up in her eyes.

Although her marriage to the Third Young Master Liu was a business arrangement, she had fallen in love with him at first sight.

After giving birth to their child, her love only grew deeper.

But even after their wedding, the Third Young Master Liu continued his philandering ways, just as he had before they married. Such behavior was commonplace in their elite circles, as long as he didn't bring any illegitimate children home.

In their world, love was a pursuit bordering on the laughable.

Over time, she became overly sensitive and easily angered, with frequent arguments at home. Though their child was well-behaved, he seldom wore such a radiant smile.

In that moment, her heart trembled.

Her friend remarked, "This kindergarten is actually quite good. If I had a child, I would want to send them here too."

The Third Young Master Liu's wife remained silent but picked up her phone and started tapping away.

Suddenly, a flurry of special effects exploded across the live stream.

A long convoy of vehicles appeared.

The fans in the live stream were stunned.

Many went to check the top donor's profile.

To their surprise, it was a wealthy sister, identified as Liu Chen's mother. With that revelation, everything became clear.

Some even revealed her identity as the Third Young Master Liu's wife.

No wonder there was an extra little friend at the kindergarten—it turned out he had such an esteemed background.

The news spread like wildfire, and within an hour, everyone knew that the young master of the Liu Family was at the Starry Sky Kindergarten.

Consequently, various friends from the elite circles caught wind of this and began inquiring about it. How did he get admitted? They all wanted their own children to attend as well.
