Ms. Tan Is The Real Boss

Chapter 1397: 1396 sensible children

“Although most people don’t know that I am my mother’s child, there are some who know whose child I am, and they mock my mother, calling her a shameless woman!” Agira cried, “I don’t want to stay in the palace anymore, staying there only causes trouble for my mother, and without me, she could still marry someone else!”

Children raised by their mothers are undoubtedly closer to them. Agira had always lived with Princess Samiyi, naturally considering his mother the most important person in the world. But for the sake of his mother’s future, the young child chose to leave secretly, which required courage.

If it were up to Tan Rou to decide, she didn’t think she would be braver than Agira.

Kas didn’t know how to comfort Agira, feeling extremely guilty because he lacked the ability to take care of both his lover and his child, and even seeing them was a luxury.

“Agira…” Kas gently stroked Agira’s head.

But Agira pushed his hand away and said with firmness, “If you are unwilling to take me with you, then I will leave this place. After all, I’ve been living at the airport, and I’ve been doing just fine, so I can go back there!”

“You can’t go back.” Tan Rou pinched Agira’s face and then said with a smile, “If you go back, wouldn’t my efforts be wasted? Besides, your father has already agreed to give me the money, and if you go back, I won’t get that money.”

Agira struggled for a moment and said, “Sister Tan Rou is a good person; I can’t let you waste your money. Wait till I grow up; I will earn money then, and then I can repay you.”

Tan Rou playfully said, “How will you repay me? Surely you’re not going to steal bread to exchange for money, are you?”

Agira’s face reddened, and he said softly, “I can earn money myself, help others water their gardens, arrange flowers, and even clean for money!”

The young child didn’t understand what earning money was really like. Agira had always lived inside the palace, meeting only gardeners and cleaners, so he was unaware that in today’s society, even watering flowers and arranging them required qualifications.

“By the time you grow up, those jobs might not even need people anymore.” Tan Rou said, “I study robotics, and there are already robots for watering and cleaning. Do you think an employer would prefer a cheap robot that works constantly, or an employee who always requires pay?”

Agira was a smart child, and he instantly grasped Tan Rou’s point, thus he fell into thought, “There will always be jobs that need people.”

“Of course.” Tan Rou affirmed his answer, “Robots also need people to operate them, but can you do that?”

“I can learn!” Agira declared.

Tan Rou smiled again, “How many characters do you know?”

Agira had nothing to say then; though he was the nephew of the King, his birth was not honorable, and the King forbade him from revealing his identity. In public places, the King did not even allow him to call Samiyi ‘Mother’.

The characters he learned were taught by Samiyi, who could only teach him some simple words and sentences. If he wanted to gain knowledge, he still needed to attend school.

“I… I will definitely repay you!” By the end, all Agira could do was repeat this sentence.

Tan Rou felt sympathy for the young child, who was only nine years old. What should a nine-year-old be doing? They should be going to amusement parks with family and friends, discussing whether last night’s cartoon was good, and holding hands on trips to the store for treats. He shouldn’t be here agonizing over how to repay someone or how to earn money.

“In our country, children of this age should be in classrooms learning.” Tan Rou was dissatisfied with the laws of this country, “Just because he is an illegitimate child does not mean he should be excluded from the classroom. If education is not guaranteed, how can this country develop technology?”

Tan Rou understood what Kas meant; he also wanted to send Agira to school, but he was unable to prove Agira’s identity. If Agira’s situation were exposed, both he and Samiyi would end up in jail.

“Agira will stay with you for now.” Tan Rou said impatiently, “I will find Princess Samiyi and tell her where Agira is.”

Tan Rou couldn’t be certain that the King wasn’t monitoring Princess Samiyi’s phone as well, so she couldn’t use the phone to discuss matters with Samiyi and had to find an opportunity to speak with Samiyi alone.
