I Became A Hit After My Divorce! Chapter 221

221 Aunt Bai’s Help
Le Yao was speechless.
“You can’t look at me either.”
“Alright, so be it.” Nangong Jue was very obedient. “But seriously, it’s not easy to raise a child. It’s not just an extra mouth to feed. Besides, you still have to go to school in the future, but it’s not easy to find a reliable nanny at the last minute. So, let Aunt Bai help you first. She’s experienced.”
Le Yao opened her mouth to refuse.
“Don’t refuse yet. After all, raising a child isn’t something that can be nurtured by anger.”
“I’ll try first. If I really can’t handle it, I’ll trouble Aunt Bai.” Le Yao nodded in the end.
Nangong Jue didn’t force it.
That night, Le Yao experienced how difficult it was to be a mother.
If it was a normal child, it would be fine. However, Shuo Shuo was not. He had anger issues and signs of autism. Although he had improved after psychological counseling, he was still not a normal child. When he slept, he would often wake up with a start. When he woke up, he would cry and attack anyone who approached. Although that attack would not cause much harm to the adults, it was also a headache. After all, if he was not careful, he would also hurt himself.
Hence, on the first night that Shuo Shuo came, Le Yao and Sister Mei barely slept. The next morning, they woke up with dark circles under their eyes.
However, Shuo Shuo was awake. In order to let him adapt to the new environment as soon as possible, Le Yao did not dare to let him play by himself. Therefore, she could only yawn and bring the little guy around the villa. Then, she had to serve him food and drink, tell stories, and sing…
Hence, when Shuo Shuo took an afternoon nap, Le Yao collapsed on the sofa in exhaustion.
“Young Madam.” Aunt Bai came over at this moment. “What’s wrong?”
“I’m tired.” Le Yao opened her eyes slightly.
“It’s tiring to take care of a child.” Aunt Bai smiled. “Alright, hurry up and rest. I’ll help you keep an eye on him.” As she spoke, she glanced at Sister Mei. “You should go and rest too.”
Sister Mei yawned and looked at Le Yao.
“How can I do that? Besides, this child…”
“It’s fine, it’s fine. I’m experienced.” Aunt Bai waved her hand. “There’s an autistic child in our village. I took care of him when I was free.”
“Thank you, Aunt Bai.” Le Yao really couldn’t take it anymore. Usually, if she stayed up late to watch novels or television, she wouldn’t feel so tired. However, watching a child was still extremely tiring. At this moment, she didn’t have the energy to struggle anymore. She got up and returned to her room. She pounced on the bed and closed her eyes.
When she woke up again, she realized that it was already dark. She glanced at her watch and realized that she had slept for more than four hours. She hurriedly got up, washed up, and went downstairs.
Shuo Shuo had long woken up, but he was sitting there quietly… drawing.
“Young Lady.” Sister Mei was also energetic now. “It’s time to eat.”
“He-”
“Aunt Bai really has a way.” Sister Mei smiled. “Little Young Master cried when he woke up, so she took a drawing board and taught him how to draw. I didn’t expect Little Young Master to fall in love with drawing immediately.”
Le Yao heaved a sigh of relief and walked over to take a look. To be honest, she didn’t have much attainment in painting and couldn’t tell what the lumps of paint were, but the little guy was very serious. He even looked up at her and smiled before continuing.
