Chapter 77: A Chance Encounter
Si Wan stared at the suffering woman in her arms and secretly made up her mind.
She already got grandpa and now Si Yue along with the unmet little nephew. Therefore, she should bestir herself, steer clear of Gong Siming as soon as possible and bring them to a safe place.
The strong sense of responsibility encouraged and inspired Si Wan to have a new purpose of life.
Si Wan and Yue just sat there quietly, sorting out their thoughts.
“You’re right. I should keep him by my side under my protection. Before he grows up, I won’t let him get hurt, emotionally included.” Said Yue.
Si Wan nodded in agreement with a sweet smile.
They got up at the same time, tacitly changing into intellectual and comfortable clothes.
“Are you sure about your decision? Once you pick him up, you shouldn’t regret it!”
Si Wan had to confirm the issue and made sure Yue’s words would not lead to later regret.
Now Yue was filled with motherly love, and her peerless appearance looked more stunning. There was something more about her now.
“Let’s go!”
It was her style to be straightforward and simple. Then the two women embarked on the road to pick up the child.
Si Wan couldn’t contain her excitement and kept throwing questions at Yue, such as whether the kid would like her appearance, did she bring enough, gifts or should she buy more?
Yue’s car was not small, but the back seats had been piled up with gifts. Even Si Wan’s arms were laden with presents for the kid.
Even the biological mother sighed with emotions. In the past three years, she hadn’t bought anything for the child.
Along the way, the staid Si Wan chattered out of character just like the unsophisticated and restless Xiaoyu.
In fact, Si Wan had been disguising herself. After being discharged from the hospital, she untied a knot in her heart. Opening up to others, she was returning to her old self.
After about one hour’s drive, they reached the gate of a welfare house.
No way, Yue sent her child to a welfare house? Si Wan stood in the courtyard in disbelief.
“He doesn’t even know I’m his mother.”
Due to the guilt and sentiment, Yue’s face showed a hint of pain.
“It’s okay. From now on, he not only finds her mother but also a bundled auntie extra. There is also a grandpa ready to dote on him.”
With sincere and funny words, Si Wan eased Yue’s guilty conscience.
With packs of presents, they strode into the welfare building.
As soon as they entered the door, they were greeted by a gracious lady. Each year, Yue, one of the few most generous donors of the welfare house, would come here once.
She was beautiful in appearance, noble in temperament, and unforgettable to the eye.
Almost everyone in the orphanage knew Yue. But she looked too cold and unapproachable.
They just nodded and smiled from a distance. Without business, they didn’t dare to step up.
The lady led them to the Dean’s Office. The dean was in the middle of an interview with an important guest, so they had to wait for a while.
They placed the gifts on a huge table and sat on the sofa, chatting while waiting.
Both women had never been so anxious and full of expectations like this today.
From now on, Yue would live with the cute child as his mother.
The waiting was excruciatingly long, and both of them lost patience.
“No, we can’t wait like this!”
Si Wan jumped up anxiously.
“Sister Yue, do you know where the child is?”
According to the schedule of the welfare house, the children should be in the game room, a construction funded by Yue.
Yue could still remember the excitement of those children when they entered the game room for the first time. They were so satisfied and happy as if the entire world was theirs for the taking.
Children were that easy to satisfy. A trivial thing in adult eyes could make them happy for a long time.
So was her child. A pat on his head from Yue was like a favor from god. He would be so happy as to circle around Yue for several rounds.
Occasionally, he would slump to the lawn. Before Yue tried to support him, he would quickly rise to his feet and continue until he ran out of strength. Sitting next to her, he would pant for breath.
When he stuck out his tongue, he looked very cute.
The more she thought about it, the more badly she wanted to see him.Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.
They picked up the gifts and walked outside.
As soon as the door was opened, they saw the dean and a little figure freeing himself from the grip. In a haste, he rushed to Yue’s legs.
Gently putting down the gifts, Yue slowly squatted down.
Tears were still lingering in his round, bright and big eyes. It seemed he was raw from crying.
Unexpectedly, when Yue saw him, he somehow forced a broad smile, which stung her heart.
As she held the child in her arms, her gentle eyes instantly turned cold, and the dean couldn’t help shuddering.
Back then, Yue placed the child at the door of the welfare house and then hid herself up until the staff carried the baby inside. After a month’s secret observation, she showed up in the welfare house for donation.
The dean only knew the child liked the cold woman but knew not about their relationship.
“Why did he cry?”
It was more like an interrogation than a question.
“The child is lucky enough to be adopted by a rich family. It’s normal for him to feel uncomfortable in a new environment.”
This ignited Yue’s anger. How dare this woman give her child to someone else? She didn’t take Yue’s words seriously!
Yue was filled with murderous intent.
“I know you like the child, but he needs parental love.”
Before the dean could finish, Si Wan broke in nonchalantly.
“We’ll keep the child and give him a loving home.”
At the sight of the woman laden with toys, the dean spoke a little contemptuously.
“Young lady, this child is already adopted, you can…”
“How dare you!”
Overcome with anger, Yue shouted coldly.
The child in her arms trembled. As she gently patted him on the back, he somehow smiled happily.
Watching from the side, Si Wan couldn’t help wondering. Was this the power of bloodline? So amazing!
The dean was so shocked that she stammered.
“Miss Yue, the adopter is already waiting downstairs.”
Noticing the predicament of the dean, Si Wan forgave her for her rude remarks.
“It’s okay. We’ll talk with them.”
Following a deep sigh of relief, the dean led them to meet the adopter downstairs.
As soon as the door was opened, Si Wan looked at the person in surprise.
“Mu Zhishen!”
Upon hearing his long-admired voice, Mu Zhishen slowly turned around.
“Si Wan!”
The man looked at Si Wan and muttered in disbelief.
But then he met the cold and murderous gaze from Yue.
He hadn’t expected Si Wan to stay with Yue and the chance encounter of the three of them.
