IPVS Chapter 34.8

It was time for dinner at this point.

An An was led to the cafeteria and met her friends who used to play with her.

The cafeteria aunt filled the child’s plate and scooped a large bowl of pork rib soup.

An An said thank you, took the plate, and walked to her seat.

When she sat down, she remembered that she had forgotten to bring the spoon and ran to get it.

Outside the cafeteria, Dean Wang and the caretaker teacher stood together, looking at the lonely figure.

The caretaker teacher’s eyes were filled with tears: “In the program, An An’s home is very warm, and her parents accompany her every meal. But now she is back in the orphanage, so she is lonely again…”

“It’s my fault. I shouldn’t have let An An on this program.” Dean Wang blamed herself, “I gave her hope and then let her down. The child must be very sad.”

“Dean Wang, don’t think like that. You do so many things for the children. By the way, didn’t you say that her intern parents are willing to adopt An An? This should be good news.” The caretaker teacher said.

Dean Wang looked at the little dumpling who had already sat down to eat and sighed: “I don’t know if they suddenly got interested, or if they were forced to do it for the effect of the program…”

“Maybe they will come again in a few days.” The caretaker teacher said optimistically.

Dean Wang smiled bitterly. She didn’t want An An to be adopted by this couple. In fact, she had another layer of concerns.

There was once a couple who were unable to have children and came to adopt a child. A few years later, the woman suddenly became pregnant. The couple thought that the adopted child was a burden and sent him back.

The boy who was sent back was already a teenager. He was depressed and silent every day.

Children were not cats and dogs. They had their own thoughts. It would be a great harm if they were abandoned again and again.

After dinner, it was the activity time of the orphanage.

The children were sitting on small benches in the classroom doing handicrafts.

The teacher led An An, took a pair of small scissors, and cut out a little rabbit.

The little dumpling took the rabbit paper cut and said with a smile: “It’s so beautiful.”

The caretaker teacher gently touched An An’s little head.

The child didn’t cry or make a fuss. She also didn’t mention the parents in the show. But for some reason, it made people want to treat her better and better.

At eight o’clock in the evening, Gu Yicheng came out of the office.

After getting in the car, he hesitated for a moment and said to the assistant, “Go home.”

Assistant Fang was perceptive and immediately guessed which home Mr. Gu was going to go back to. He started the car and drove to the riverside villa.

Gu Yicheng stood at the door of his house and gently pressed his index finger on the fingerprint area.

With a ‘ding dong’ sound, the door opened.

The room was dark and quiet.

He guessed that Mo Sui was still with Zhou Mingmin, but unexpectedly, as he walked slowly inside, he saw a ray of light coming from under the crack of the master bedroom door.

It was a very dim light.

Gu Yicheng paused and stood at the door. After a while, he gently turned the door handle.

The door opened, and in the master bedroom, a slender figure sat quietly on the bed.

Mo Sui had changed into pajamas, hugged her knees with her hands, and curled up.

Hearing the noise, she raised her face. There was no expression on her fair face, but her eyes revealed a fragility that was rarely seen in normal times.
