The 'glutinous rice ball feast' made Lin Ruoxi's cheeks flush red and she felt refreshed. She was in an extremely good mood, especially since she was able to sit on a chair outside the shop and watch Korean dramas while eating.
If it weren't for the gifts, Yang Cheng suspected that Lin Ruoxi could have done this until the evening.
Seeing the seven solid glutinous rice balls go into the woman's belly, Yang Cheng wondered how she put them in, but he didn't dare to disturb his wife's "elegant mood". He helped her wrap up the remaining glutinous rice balls and drove out of the building, continuing to drive to the orphanage.
Of course, such a large number of gifts wouldn't just be given to one orphanage.
They went to three orphanages in a row, all located in the suburbs of Zhonghai. After getting out of the car, Lin Ruoxi greeted the children intimately, played some simple games, and played together.
Obviously, Yang Cheng was the laborer, moving the small toys and snacks in the boxes into the yard. As for the work of distributing the gifts to the children, it was done by the aunt of the orphanage and Lin Ruoxi, because the children didn't like Yang Cheng and didn't care about this ordinary-looking uncle at all.
Yang Cheng also wanted to hug those children like Lin Ruoxi, at least to show his "iron man's tenderness". Not to mention the girls, even the boys stayed far away, for fear of being taken advantage of by this uncle.
Seeing that Yang Cheng was embarrassed, the staff of the orphanage and Lin Ruoxi all laughed happily.
Although Yang Cheng was depressed, seeing that Lin Ruoxi smiled more than ever, he didn't care. Unfortunately, if he wanted to have children, he would have to find a way to improve the physique of his women for a long time. Otherwise, he could really have children. Not only did Lin Ruoxi love children, but Guo Xuehua and Mother Wang were also anxious for a long time.
The last orphanage was New Hope Orphanage, which was built by Guo Xuehua and Lin Ruoxi most often.
Coming to the yard, the children were playing Eagle Catches Chicks noisily. Seeing Lin Ruoxi appear, they surrounded her like a tide and kept shouting sweetly around Lin Ruoxi.
Lin Ruoxi was very energetic when playing with the children. She didn't know fatigue and immediately became the "mother hen" for the children.
After Yang Cheng was busy moving the last few boxes of gifts to the yard, Director Cha walked over with a smile and said, "Sorry to trouble you. All of us here are women, and we don't have much strength."
Seeing Director Cha was considered an old acquaintance. Zhenxiu was also brought up by this old woman, so Yang Cheng was naturally very respectful towards her.
"It's nothing. I can only do some manual labor. The children don't like me." Yang Cheng laughed at himself and asked, "Has my mother been here?"
Director Cha knew that Yang Cheng and Lin Ruoxi were Guo Xuehua's son and daughter-in-law. She smiled and nodded. "She has been here for a long time. Madam Guo is the busiest during these days. She didn't stay for long and immediately went to another orphanage. She also told me that Zhenxiu is going to take her college entrance examination and can only come back after that. She asked me not to blame her. Madam Guo is such a careful person. "
Yang Cheng nodded with some emotion. Just when he was about to find a place to rest and wait for Lin Ruoxi to go home together, he saw a small figure standing at the entrance of the orphanage from the corner of his eye.
It was a girl about three or four years old wearing a light blue polka dot white dress that revealed her fair and round legs. She wore red leather sandals and had a head of short black hair that was cut into a round mushroom hairstyle. In front of her was a flat fringe that accentuated her fair and delicate little face, making her look especially delicate and lovely. Her big, watery eyes were like clear pools of water without any impurities.
The little girl leaned against the door. Her expression didn't show the slightest bit of childishness that a child should have. Her gaze fell on Lin Ruoxi, who was among the children from afar.
In the eyes of the child, which should have been bright and innocent, there was a hint of complicated contemplation.
Yang Cheng narrowed his eyes. He felt that there was something strange about this little girl, but he couldn't put his finger on it. However, Yang Cheng was sure that he had a good impression of this little girl. It wasn't because she looked like a porcelain doll that was carved from jade, but because it was an indescribable feeling.
"Principal Cha, is that child also from this orphanage?" Yang Cheng asked the old man beside him.
Principal Cha looked around, and a trace of love flashed in her eyes. "Yo, whose child is this? She looks so pretty, just like a doll that was drawn out. Of course, she's not from our orphanage. Just look at the way she's dressed. You can tell that she's from a rich family. Maybe her parents happened to be passing by with her, and she heard the cry of a child, so she came over to take a look. "
Yang Cheng nodded. Just as he was about to pick up some snacks and walk over to talk to the little girl, he saw a delicate woman who looked like a nanny run to the little girl's side. She held the little girl's hand with a look of concern, as if she was trying to persuade her about something. Then, she took the little girl away.
Even before she left, the little girl didn't forget to look back at Lin Ruoxi with a hint of reluctance.
"It seems that the child really likes Ruoxi. That's right, Ruoxi has always been very popular with children," Principal Cha said with a smile. She had also noticed this, and she laughed.
Yang Cheng pursed his lips and chuckled. In his heart, he also thought that this was the case. No matter how he guessed, it was impossible for such a little girl to have any special feelings for Lin Ruoxi. Perhaps he was indeed thinking too much.
This little episode was quickly forgotten by Yang Cheng. He chatted with Principal Cha for a while, and time passed just like that.
In a quiet teahouse not far from the orphanage, the elf-like little girl was running up the slightly old wooden stairs step by step with her small feet.
"Miss Lanlan, be careful, don't fall … Oh, my little grandaunt …"
The nanny followed behind anxiously, for fear that the little girl would fall and hurt herself.
The little girl's fluffy dress fluttered lightly, and she ran up the stairs agilely. She didn't have the slightest intention of falling, nor did she care about the worried nanny following behind her. She silently ran to a table near the balcony of the teahouse. Using both her hands and feet, she climbed onto a chair, took a cup of cold tea like an adult, aimed it at her pink little mouth, and gulped it down.
Opposite the little girl was a handsome, mature man with a leisurely temperament. He was wearing a striped shirt, with a string of Buddhist beads hanging on one hand and a folding fan in the other. He smiled lovingly as he watched the little girl finish drinking the tea, and warmly said, "Lanlan, you didn't bully other children, did you?"
The little girl called Lanlan put down the teacup and said to the man with an expressionless face, "Grandpa, there's an auntie who looks like my mother."
The little girl's words were without the slightest emotion, but her voice was like an oriole.
If there was an outsider who heard the little girl calling this middle-aged man "Grandpa", they would definitely sigh at this man's good maintenance skills. After all, this man looked like he was in his early thirties.
The man turned his head and looked at the nanny, who was panting and chasing after him, obviously asking what was going on.
The nanny smiled bitterly and said, "Master, Miss Lanlan saw a very beautiful lady playing with the children in the orphanage, and she felt that the lady looked like her mother."
After listening to that, the man was silent for a while, closed his folding fan, and said earnestly, "Lanlan, Grandpa knows that you miss your mother very much. But Grandpa has said many times that your mother has gone to a faraway place, and she won't be coming back. Grandpa will wait for the right time to bring you to see your father. At that time, you will have a father who loves you, and a new mother … "
"Lanlan has a mother! Mother will not abandon Lanlan! "The little girl stubbornly opened her watery eyes wide and said unhappily.
The man's words stopped, and he lightly sighed. He reached out his hand and stroked the girl's soft hair, "Okay, okay, Lanlan's mother will come back, Grandpa won't talk nonsense."
Only then did Lanlan pout her mouth, forgiving him. Without smiling, she reached out her chubby little hand and took a piece of mung bean cake from the table. She opened her small mouth and began to eat quietly.
Looking at the little girl's round face and the way she ate with relish, a trace of love flashed through the man's eyes, and he softly asked, "Lanlan, we will be settling in Zhonghai in the future, does Lanlan like it here?"
Lanlan blinked her eyes and asked softly, "Grandpa said he's bringing me to see dad. Now that we're not leaving, does that mean dad is here?"
"Then why don't you bring Lanlan to see father now?" The girl tilted her little head and asked puzzledly.
"Then why don't you bring me to see daddy now?" The little girl tilted her head and asked in confusion.
The man was a little distressed, and he took the fan and knocked on his head, "Lanlan, Grandpa must have a reason, for the good of Lanlan, and also for the good of father. In a few days, you will go and see father, okay?"
Lanlan silently looked at the man for a while, and then she meekly nodded.
Looking at the obedient and sensible child, the nanny couldn't help but feel a lump in her throat, and she wiped away her tears.
More than half an hour later, Yang Cheng and Lin Ruoxi said goodbye to President Cha. Before they knew it, the afternoon had passed. After all, there were people waiting for dinner at home, and it wasn't good to delay for too long.
Yang Cheng helped Lin Ruoxi open the car door, and in a gentlemanly manner, let her get in first, and then walked to the driver's door. Just as he was about to get in the car, his heart slightly moved, as if he had sensed something …
Yang Cheng raised his head and looked at the street in the distance, where the teahouse was located, and he frowned.
"What's wrong? Do you know anyone? "Lin Ruoxi asked curiously in the car.
Coming back to his senses, Yang Cheng's expression changed, and he relaxed and said, "Nothing, I deliberately pretended to be deep."
Lin Ruoxi rolled her eyes at him, "Hurry up and go back, don't let mom and the others wait too long."
Yang Cheng teased, "Just say it, can't you just say that you are in a hurry to eat the leftover glutinous rice balls?"
This time, Lin Ruoxi didn't reply. She turned her head and looked out of the window, as if she didn't care, but the burning red ears betrayed her thoughts …
