Chapter 720 - A Motherless Child (1/2)

In a luxurious castle, a man who was eating dinner in the dining hall immediately put his chopsticks aside when he heard his child cry.

Ye Hao rushed out of the dining hall.

“What’s wrong with her?” he asked the nanny who was trying to calm the child down and he looked at the nanny reproachfully. Then, he bent down and pulled Xi Xi who was crying very loudly into his arms.

The nanny became very nervous when she noticed that Ye Hao seemed a little annoyed.

It hadn’t been easy for her to land this job at the castle and she didn’t want to lose it.

“Mr. Ye, I let your daughter stand by herself for a while and wanted her to learn how to walk on her own but she started to cry the moment I let go,” she said nervously. Then, she looked apologetically at Ye Hao, afraid that he would admonish her for her actions.

Ye Hao frowned and a look of displeasure flashed past his eyes. His arms tightened around Xi Xi and allowed the child to lie against his chest as he gently stroked her back and tried to calm her down.

“Don’t force her to walk if she doesn’t wish to in the future. She’s still a baby,” Ye Hao said sternly.

All he wanted was for his daughter to be happy, so he didn’t mind even if she took longer to walk, speak, and read as compared to her peers.

The nanny immediately nodded. “Yes, of course,” she said.

“Moreover…” Ye Hao continued. “I will hire an early childhood educator to look after Xi Xi together with yourself. Your main duties are to care for her and to ensure that she has a happy and healthy childhood. I don’t want you to force her to learn any skills or abilities.”

He believed that his daughter was innately intelligent, so he didn’t these highly-skilled early childhood educators to encourage her intellectual development.
