Leng Yan fell into silence. In his heart, did he understand?
"Xiao Yan, it's rare for you to bring her here today, so just go for a walk with her! Even if you can't be together forever, at least for now, she is still your wife." Xu Wan said to Leng Yan.
She still remembered that a few months ago, Leng Yan came to talk to her with a distressed look on his face, saying that he did not want to marry the eldest daughter of the Jiang family, but she knew that he later changed his mind in order to avenge Leng Jingcheng's treatment of his mother.
His ruthless abandonment caused her to eventually die of illness. Although she did not agree with his actions, she could not stop him.
And now she has only met Jiang Ruoxi once, but she can feel that she is a good girl, without the arrogance and willfulness of the eldest lady. Perhaps, she is the other half of Leng Yan's life.
Leng Yan refused, "No, she will be more comfortable without my company."
Xu Wan didn't speak again, just looked at Leng Yan standing there.
Jiang Ruoxi walked in front of the rooms. This was probably the best orphanage she had ever seen. Both the facilities and the environment made people feel comfortable and warm.
"Sister Ruoxi, do you like it here?" Xueer raised her face and asked Jiang Ruoxi.
"Well, I like it very much, Xue'er, do you like living here too?" Jiang Ruoxi squatted down and looked at Xue'er.
Xueer nodded vigorously, "Yes! I like it so much. Although I don't know who my parents are, I have Dean Xu and many aunts and friends. I am very happy. Now, I have more
Sister Ruoxi." She said with a smile, with pure happiness on her face.
Jiang Ruoxi suddenly hugged Xue'er into her arms, "Then I'll come and see you more often when I have time, okay?"
"Well, that's great!" Xue'er buried her face in Jiang Ruoxi's neck and put her small hands around her neck.
Jiang Ruoxi held Xueer's hand and visited almost every corner of the orphanage.
During dinner time, nearly a hundred people in the entire orphanage were sitting around in the huge dining room. Xueer kept dragging Jiang Ruoxi with her. Even during dinner, the two of them sat next to each other.
Leng Yan and Xu Wan were sitting at another table, looking at Jiang Ruoxi and seeing her smiling as she helped the children pick up vegetables and serve soup.
"Ruoxi is such a good girl, gentle, cute, and kind." Xu Wan looked at Leng Yan and said casually.
Leng Yan raised his head and said, "Aunt Xu, you don't have to keep saying good things about her in front of me. You haven't even spoken to her yet. Isn't it too early for you to make a decision so quickly?"
"You don't have to talk to know a person's character, you just need to see what she does." Xu Wan has seen countless people, but she can still tell.
"She has won over a lot of people's hearts." Leng Yan felt an uncomfortable feeling in her heart.
"Really? It turns out I'm not the only one who likes Ruoxi!" Xu Wan picked up a piece of meat and put it in Leng Yan's bowl, "Eat quickly! Eat more."
After dinner, Jiang Ruoxi stood alone at the gate of the main building. Although the late autumn night was a bit cold, the moonlight tonight was particularly beautiful. She raised her face slightly and looked at the moon.
"Ruoxi." Xu Wan appeared behind her and called her name.
Jiang Ruoxi turned her head and looked at Xu Wan, "Hello, Dean Xu."
"You don't have to be so outspoken. You can do the same as Xiao Yan and just call me Aunt Xu." Xu Wan walked to her side with a smile.
"Aunt Xu." Jiang Ruoxi looked at the kind Xu Wan in front of her.
"Can we talk?" Xu Wan looked at Jiang Ruoxi, then reached out and took her hand.
Jiang Ruoxi nodded.
"Ruoxi, is this your first time here? Do you think it's okay here?" Xu Wan and Jiang Ruoxi were walking side by side in the garden.
"Well, it's very good. I like it here very much." Jiang Ruoxi's voice was full of joy.
Xu Wan looked at the smile on her face and said, "As long as you like it, I am a lively person. If you like it, come often in the future. You can come with Xiao Yan."
"Will he be willing?" Jiang Ruoxi asked calmly.
"Of course, as long as you ask to come here, he will definitely be willing." Xu Wan said confidently.
Jiang Ruoxi turned to look at Xu Wan, "Aunt Xu, he..."
"Ruoxi, do you like Xiao Yan?" Xu Wan sat with her on a wooden chair nearby.
Do you like it? She didn't know it herself. His ruthlessness, his constant cynicism, his hot and cold temperament, and his domineering attitude all made Jiang Ruoxi convince herself that he didn't love her. She
I won't be emotionally attached to him either.
"I..." She should deny it clearly, but why did she hesitate?
"Don't rush to answer me. I still hope that you and Xiao Yan can get along well." Xu Wan saw Leng Yan walking towards this side.
Leng Yan walked up to them and said, "Aunt Xu, it's time for us to go back."
"Okay, let's go!" Xu Wan and Jiang Ruoxi stood up together. It's really late at this time.
Jiang Ruoxi nodded towards Xu Wan, "Aunt Xu, I'm going back first. I'll come over when I have time."
Xu Wan stood there, watching Jiang Ruoxi and Leng Yan walk towards the door.
"Sister Ruoxi, sister Ruoxi." Xueer suddenly ran out and called Jiang Ruoxi.
Jiang Ruoxi stopped and looked at Xue'er running towards her. She turned around and walked towards her, "Xue'er, what's wrong?"
"Sister Ruoxi, you are going back with Brother Yan, right?" Xueer stood in front of Jiang Ruoxi and asked with some reluctance.
"Xue'er, it's so late, why haven't you slept yet?" Jiang Ruoxi came out after watching the children go back to the room together.
"I want to give this to sister Ruoxi." Xueer took out a lollipop from behind and handed it to Jiang Ruoxi.
Jiang Ruoxi looked at the lollipop in her hand and smiled, "Xueer, sister doesn't want to eat it, just keep it and eat it."
"Sister Ruoxi, Xue'er is still there! You can eat this. I hope to see sister Ruoxi soon!" After finishing speaking, he kissed Ruoxi on the face before taking a step back.
.
"Goodbye sister Ruoxi, goodbye brother Yan." Xueer waved to them.
Jiang Ruoxi walked towards Leng Yan, "Let's go!"
Xu Wan took Xueer into the building. Jiang Ruoxi looked at the lollipop in her hand, with a smile on her face. She didn't pay attention to the stones at her feet for a moment. As soon as she stepped on her high heels, her feet stumbled and she fell down.
On the grass.
"Are you okay?" Leng Yan nervously helped her up.
"I'm fine." Jiang Ruoxi had just finished speaking, but she couldn't take a step forward. The pain in her ankle made her frown.
Leng Yan looked at her expression, "Is everything okay?" he asked again.
Jiang Ruoxi wanted to shake her head, but the pain in her feet prevented her from speaking.
"Why don't you say anything?" Leng Yan's long arms were still around her waist, asking Jiang Ruoxi who kept her head down.
"I seem to have sprained my ankle." Jiang Ruoxi frowned even more.
