Falling in Love with My Contracted Husband - Chapter 78
Chapter 78 Orphanage
Tang Yuxin ran really fast. In the blink of an eye, she disappeared without a trace. Only Tang Jin Chen and An Zi Xi were left in the hall.
An Zixi turned to look at Tang Jin Chen with an unfathomable expression and an unknown smile on his face, which made her even more annoyed.
An Zixi ignored Tang Jin Chen and walked past the table and sofa.
“Where are you going?”
Tang Jin Chen stopped her. This woman actually dared to ignore him. Could it be that he was angry? Can’t this woman tell? Don’t you know how to coax yourself? How could her temper be so stubborn!
An Zixi took a deep breath. She didn’t intend to waste any more time with him. “I’ll go upstairs.”
“You haven’t answered my question yet. What did you discuss about me?”
An Zixi frowned. It seemed that Tang Jin Chen did not know what they had said about him today and would not give up.
An Zixi smiled, “I’ve already answered that question.”
“Are you saying that I’m outstanding in appearance, and that I can’t let it go?” Tang Jin Chen chuckled, deepening the confusion in his eyes. He would not be foolish enough to believe that An Zi Xi would discuss such a topic with Tang Yu Xin.
Tang Jin Chen did not immediately expose An Zi Xi’s lies. He only stood up and slowly approached her. An Zixi looked at the man who stopped in front of him with some precautions. Sure enough, Tang Jin Chen took advantage of An Zi Xi’s carelessness to forcefully hook An Zi Xi’s waist and pull her closer. He bent down and asked playfully, “Then tell me, how did I make you want to stop?”
The distance between the two of them was extremely close. The hot air Tang Jin Chen spoke from time to time hit An Zi Xi’s face, causing her to feel a little nervous. She immediately broke free from Tang Jin Chen’s entanglement and turned around to run upstairs.
Looking at her impatient back, Tang Jin Chen returned to the sofa and sat down. He lowered his head and took a sip of tea.
This woman just wanted to widen the distance between them.
For several days in a row, the executives of the company hired several meetings in succession. Tang Jin Chen did not know if it was because he was too busy or other reasons. He had not returned home for several days. There seemed to be endless meetings in the company. Tang Jin Chen had never looked for An Zi Xi in the company, much less met him privately.
An Zixi’s loneliness caused everyone in the company to rumor that she was just a magpie bird that had lost its pet and could do nothing but complain and feel sorry for herself. However, she wanted to prove that without Tang Jin Chen, she would be able to live a better life.
Tang Jin Chen hadn’t come back for a few days, and An Zi Xi was very comfortable. On weekends, he would walk around and ride his bicycle for a ride.
When he was bored, he would plant flowers and drink tea in the garden. This kind of day was simply incomparable to Tang Jin Chen’s day at home.
An Zixi sat on a white table and chair in the garden. An Zixi sat leisurely. In front of him was a cup of tea. The fragrance of the tea was overflowing and refreshing.
The afternoon sun shone on her body. She was lazy. An Zixi liked this feeling very much. There were no endless rumors, no Tang Jin Chen’s tyranny and changeability. All that remained was leisure and comfort.
The servant was busy with dinner in the room, and since Tang Jin Chen had invited a servant, she had had more time to steal fun.
An Zixi stretched out his hand to block the sunlight. The sunlight shone on her face through the gaps between his fingers. An Zixi smiled and sighed, “So beautiful.”
An Zixi was enjoying the beautiful scenery when the servant suddenly took out his phone and sent it over. “Madam, your number.”
Now even the servants treat her as Tang Jin Chen’s wife.
An Zixi nodded and took it, “Hello?”
“Zixi, what are you doing?”
A familiar voice came from the other end of the phone. An Zixi was extremely excited, “Xiao Qi, why did you think of looking for me?”
Ever since he had accompanied him shopping that day, they had never seen each other again. An Zixi also very consciously did not look for him. After all, she had decided that she would no longer rely on him.
On the other end of the phone, Lin Qiyuan chuckled, “Because, I have something I want to ask you for a favor.”
“What is it?” An Zixi couldn’t figure out what he couldn’t do. He actually asked her for help, didn’t he know that she didn’t know anything?
Lin Qiyuan smiled and said mysteriously, “Keep it a secret. If you’re fine, prepare yourself. I’ll pick you up and go somewhere.”
“So mysterious?” An Zixi smiled brightly and said, “Alright, since Xiao Qi invited me, how can I let you down? I’ll be ready immediately.”
Lin Qiyuan nodded, “Alright, wait for me.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the phone had already hung up. An Zixi did not know what Lin Qiyuan was talking about, but she had not seen him for a few days, so she missed him quite a bit. Moreover, since Tang Jin Chen was not at home, she felt bored, so it was good to go out for a stroll.
Thinking of this, the beautiful afternoon tea ended. An Zixi turned around and entered the room, ready to change his clothes.
When the time came, Lin Qiyuan’s car appeared in front of the door on time. As soon as An Zixi saw him, he walked over. Lin Qiyuan got off the car and opened the door for her. An Zixi smiled at him and said, “Xiao Qi.”
Seeing her smile, Lin Qiyuan was stunned. She was very beautiful today. She was still wearing a white dress. She was as beautiful as a princess. She was sacred and inviolable.
Lin Qiyuan smiled and said, “Let’s go in.”
The temperature in the car was moderate. An Zixi looked at the unfamiliar scenery on both sides of the street and turned around to ask Lin Qiyuan, “Xiao Qi, where are we going?”
“Guess.” Lin Qiyuan turned to look at her with a smile on his face.
Seeing him laugh, An Zixi also felt very happy. “Alright, I got in your car. It’s so unfair for you to keep it a secret from me.”
Seeing her grievance, Lin Qiyuan knew that she was faking it, so he could only tell her, “Today, I’m taking you to the orphanage.”
“Orphanage? Are you going to see the children?” An Zixi had always known that Lin Qiyuan had a good heart, but now it seemed that he was getting better and better.
Lin Qiyuan nodded, his eyes full of smiles. “Yeah, I wanted to see them, so I called you along. What? Don’t you want to come with me?”
“Of course not.” Without thinking, An Zixi said, “I also like children. Fortunately, you called me along. Otherwise, I would be bored to death.”
“Is that so?” A trace of disappointment flashed through his eyes, but the corners of his mouth curved into the warmest smile. “That’s good. I think the children will definitely be happy to see you.”
At last, they arrived at the orphanage. Just as they stopped the car, An Zixi couldn’t wait to get out of the car. An Zixi was so excited that he looked like a child.
“Xiao Qi, what should we do when we enter?”
Lin Qiyuan smiled mysteriously, “Guess what?”
“I can’t guess.” An Zixi shook her head. How could she have guessed? Just thinking about those children made her very happy and happy.
Lin Qiyuan opened the trunk and An Zixi screamed, “Heavens, so many delicious food.”
Seeing An Zixi’s eyes shine, Lin Qiyuan helplessly shook his head, but the corner of his mouth was full of smiles. “What? You want to eat? These are all for the children. Help me carry them.”
“Yes.” An Zixi obediently went over to help. Although the things were heavy, An Zixi carried them happily until he walked to the main hall of the orphanage and the principal welcomed him from afar.
“Mr. Lin, you’re here again.” The dean nodded at Lin Qiyuan and smiled at An Zixi. Seeing that An Zixi was struggling with something, he hurriedly took the shopping bag in An Zixi’s hand.
Seeing the Principal personally come to pick him up, An Zixi hurriedly shook his head, “No need, no need, I’ll do it myself.”
The dean smiled and said, “Alright, Mr. Lin, may I ask who this is?”
“Just call her Miss An.” Lin Qiyuan looked at An Zixi and smiled.
An Zixi had always been polite, but he couldn’t wait to see the children. “Excuse me, where are the children?”
“I’m playing in the courtyard. I’m sure I’ll be very happy to see you guys here. Especially Mr. Lin. If you don’t come, these children will tear down the orphanage.”
Lin Qiyuan smiled and shook his head, “Director, how could you be so exaggerated?”
“It’s not an exaggeration at all. Hurry up and go in.” The dean made a gesture of invitation and followed the direction of her finger. An Zixi took the lead and walked out.
Lin Qiyuan saw that An Zixi was so active, so he thought that it would be good if he brought her here earlier. Now that he was in such a hurry, this girl was really cute.
The dean was absolutely right. Just as Lin Qiyuan appeared in front of the children, the children rushed over and shouted, “Big Brother Yuan!”
Lin Qiyuan answered one after another, “Hello, everyone. Did you not behave well and let the Principal worry about you?”
“No.” Hearing Lin Qiyuan’s question, all the children stood upright. They stopped making noise and said obediently, “Big brother, it’s been a long time since you’ve come.”
After a child finished speaking, he actually climbed onto Lin Qiyuan’s leg and kissed Lin Qiyuan while lying on Lin Qiyuan’s body.
“Brother Yuan, Xiaoxiao misses you so much.” The little girl was pink and tender like a porcelain doll. Seeing her kiss him so kindly, Lin Qiyuan picked her up and kissed her on the face. “Brother Yuan also wants to smile.”
As soon as he finished speaking, another child pulled at the corner of Lalin Qiyuan’s clothes and pointed at An Zixi. “Brother Yuan, who is this beautiful eldest sister?”
He then remembered that An Zixi was still at the side. Lin Qiyuan put down his smile and introduced her to everyone. “This is a small gift from Brother Yuan. You can call her Sister An. Sister An is very nice.”
“Then, is Sister An Big Brother Yuan’s girlfriend?” An eccentric child said.
An Zixi blushed and hurriedly looked at Lin Qiyuan. Lin Qiyuan was also embarrassed and didn’t know how to explain.
The children beside him began to laugh loudly, “Oh oh! Brother Yuan has a girlfriend.”
“Stop spouting nonsense. Sister An is only brother’s friend.” Lin Qiyuan bent down and pinched the strange child’s face.
The child smiled craftily, “Does Big Brother Yuan like Sister An?”
“Right, right. Do you like Sister An?” The child on the side echoed. Lin Qiyuan didn’t expect this to happen and looked at An Zixi awkwardly.
An Zixi turned her face away and did not answer the children’s questions directly. For some reason, she suddenly thought of Tang Jin Chen. If Tang Jin Chen knew that these children were joking like this, what would happen?
“Alright, alright.” Lin Qiyuan clapped his hands and picked up the snacks he had just picked up. He found a big child and said, “Give these things to everyone.”
“Yes, Brother Yuan.” After saluting Lin Qiyuan, the older child immediately ran over to distribute the items.
Lin Qiyuan and An Zixi stood at the side, smiling as they looked at these well-organized children.
An Zixi praised, “They are very obedient.”
“Yes, very obedient. That’s why I come here so often.” The smile on Lin Qiyuan’s face did not diminish. Thinking of the joke just now, he still felt that it was necessary to clarify it.
“Don’t pay too much attention to what happened just now. The children are just joking.”
Lin Qiyuan didn’t expect Lin Qiyuan to bring this matter out and say. An Zixi shook his head, “Why would I care about what a group of children said? I won’t take it to heart. Don’t worry.”
Actually, how could An Zixi not know how Lin Qiyuan felt about him? She was just pretending not to know. After all, with her current status, how could she be qualified to obtain anything? Lin Qiyuan was too good, so good that she felt ashamed of herself. Even if she thought about it a little more, she felt that it was insulting Lin Qiyuan’s trust in her.
She was not worthy of Lin Qiyuan’s admiration or even a little appreciation. To her, this was a luxury. That was why she wanted to stop relying on him and rely on him. This was just some of An Zixi’s remaining self-esteem.
She could not accept Lin Qiyuan, so she could only bury his kindness in her heart and treat him as a good friend. She did not expect anything from him. She did not dare to think about Lin Qiyuan, nor could she imagine that only in this way would she be able to maintain their relationship.
In this way.
