Meng Appearance's action of holding the brush clearly paused for a moment. In just a few seconds, she put down the brush in her hands and raised her head to look at Tang Jinyao.

She moved her lips a few times, but no sound came out.

However, Ji Xinqing was able to quickly distinguish that she was referring to the word 'uncle'.

Ji Xinqing felt upset.

Unexpectedly, her daughter had to be accompanied by Tang Jinyao in order for her to react like a normal person.

However, after a short period of mental imbalance, she still acted like a mother.

Since Little Dong Shan liked Tang Jinyao, she might as well buy her some time to get along with him.

Ji Xinqing flipped to the next page and said in surprise, "Wow, even my small appendix started to learn multiplication. But this page is a bit difficult, little Dong Shan, do you want Uncle Tang to teach you? "

Meng Yan's cold eyes were glued onto Tang Jin's face.

Even if she didn't say anything, Ji Xinqing could guess that she really hoped that Tang Jinyao would teach her arithmetic.

After taking a deep breath, Ji Xinqing placed the notebook in front of Tang Jinyao and asked half-helplessly, half-imploring, "Mr. Tang, look at this …"

Tang Jinyao indifferently looked at the arithmetic book, then rubbed Meng Yangshan's head. He picked up a pen from the table and said, "Don't worry, Miss Ji. I'll teach little Jingshan a good lesson."

Ji Xinqing smiled in her heart and then stood up, "Please, Mr. Tang, I'll go bring you a drink."

"There's no need, Miss Ji. I don't drink any drinks. Can you please pour me a cup of plain water?"

Ji Xinqing was stunned for a second before she replied, "Alright, Mr. Tang, please wait for a moment."

Ji Xinqing poured two cups of water and returned to the classroom.

Tang Jinyao was extremely earnest in his teachings.

The sound of his deep and gentle voice reverberated throughout the large and empty classroom.

Ji Xinqing did not disturb the two. She placed the two cups of water down and quietly walked into the game room.

Two volunteers were watching the rowdy children.

When they saw Ji Xinqing walk in, they greeted her, "President."

Ji Xinqing raised her hand to stop them from continuing, "You guys are busy with what you need to do."

Ji Xinqing chose a space to sit down.

The walls of the game room were all installed glass, and outside the room was the classroom.

Seated inside, Ji Xinqing could see the side of Tang Jin's face.

Ji Xinqing couldn't hear what he was saying, but she could feel that Tang Yao wasn't the least bit impatient when it came to his autistic daughter.

On the contrary, she saw a trace of patience in his delicate features.

But, why was he so good to her, and to little Appearance?

As she watched, Ji Xinqing was stunned.

After teaching them for a bit, Tang Jinyao quickly finished his lesson. He was thirsty, so he picked up the cup of cold water and took a sip. However, he suddenly felt a pair of eyes locked onto him.

Ye Zichen frowned, then turned around to see Ji Xinqing staring at him.

However, her eyes were empty, clearly in a daze.

Tang Jinyao's lips curved up into a smile as he put down his cup. He flipped through the pages of his math book and said, "Come here, little Dong Shan. Uncle Tang will teach you another page."

The lunch break soon ended.

The naps crawled out of bed, and when they got outside, they saw a strange uncle squatting not far away.

They began to make a ruckus.

The noise interrupted Ji Xinqing's thoughts as she walked out of the game room.

"Mr. Tang." She quietly reminded Tang Jinyao, "The afternoon class for Little Apple is about to begin. It's time for us to leave."

"Alright, I understand." Tang Jinyao stood up.

Meng Yangshan didn't seem to want him to leave. Just as he was about to leave, she reached out her hand and tugged his clothes.

Tang Jinyao helplessly shook his head. Once again, he squatted down in front of Meng Yangshan, coaxing her, "Little Dong Shan, be good. You're going to class soon. Uncle Tang will come see you whenever he's free."

Meng QIngshan, however, continued to cling tightly to his clothes without letting go.

Tang Jinyao wasn't in a hurry either.

Then he said, "Little Dong Shan, Uncle Tang will bring you a present the next time he comes, but if you don't let him go, Uncle Tang's present will be gone."

That worked, and indeed, little by little, Meng Shan loosened her grip on his clothes, and she sat down again with her head bowed.

Tang Jinyao rubbed her head before turning to Ji Xinqing, who was standing beside her, and said, "Miss Ji, let's go out."

"Alright."

Ji Xinqing followed Tang Jinyao out of the classroom.

After walking for not too long, Tang Jinyao stopped and called out to Ji Xinqing, "Miss Ji."

"Mr. Tang, is there something you need?" Ji Xinqing turned to look at him.

"Miss Ji, I don't know if you've noticed, but does little Dong Shan really like being with me?" Tang Jinyao pursed her lips.

Ji Xinqing was preparing to find a chance to talk to him about this topic, but she didn't expect him to take the initiative and bring it up.

"I can see that little Dong Shan's heart is sealed, but she likes me a lot." Seeing that Ji Xinqing didn't know what to say, Tang Yao spoke up once more.

Ji Xinqing let out a sigh of relief, "Yes, Mr. Tang. Since you saw through it, then I won't beat around the bush. The doctor said that if Xiao Qi Shan is willing to open her heart, then one day, her condition will recover."

Tightly stretching her body, Ji Xinqing opened her mouth once again, "However, there is still a prerequisite for Little Apple's recovery."

Ji Xinqing didn't continue speaking. Instead, she turned to look at Tang Jinyao. Since her words were already so straightforward, she knew that he understood what she meant.

"So?" Tang Jinyao raised an eyebrow. "So Miss Ji is saying that Little Appearance needs more time to get along with me?"

Ji Xinqing nodded, but her heart tensed up. "That Mr. Tang means —"

She clearly didn't want to have anything to do with him anymore, but she still had to rely on him for her recovery.

Therefore, she had no choice but to bite the bullet and deal with this man.

Tang Jinyao narrowed his eyes and smiled meaningfully at her. "Don't worry, Miss Ji. Little Dong Shan is a very cute girl. I hope that she'll be able to fully recover, so I'll come visit her from time to time."

Ji Xinqing did not expect him to be so easy to talk to. She exclaimed in pleasant surprise, "Really? Mr. Tang?"

In the past, when she was in front of him, she had always restrained herself. She rarely showed such a genuine expression on her face.

Tang Yao subconsciously raised his hand, wanting to rub her head.

However, his fingertips suddenly moved, and he retracted his hand. After a moment of silence, he said, "Don't worry, Miss Ji. I will keep my promise."

Ji Xinqing thanked him sincerely once again.

After seeing Tang Jinyao out of the office, Ji Xinqing returned to her office.

Ji Xinqing was not in the mood to work immediately. She sat on the chair and was stunned once again.

Aside from the fact that she already knew about Tang Jinyao in the rumors, she hadn't forgotten the most important thing.

He wasn't very interested in women.

Otherwise, there wouldn't be no one around him right now. She hadn't even heard the slightest bit of gossip about him within the imperial city.

However … Ji Xinqing exhaled deeply. Was the rumor wrong?

Why didn't she see any of his coldness towards women in him?
