Chapter 197 - Promoted! (1/2)
Months passed since their wonderous honeymoon at the private islands. Chen Mu was stuck between hospital shifts and his company right after they came back from vacation. Meanwhile, Susu gained recognition for her designs and won many international fashion awards. She joined education conferences as a guest and provided students vast insights about her works.
She shared stories about herself that brought inspiration to those who are lost in their career paths. On her free time, she visited orphanages and brought children gifts to play with. A generous portion of profits earned from her designs were donated anonymously to those who really needs it.
This afternoon, she decided to pay a visit and bring some gifts along for the kids. At the same time, she could ask about how the children were doing and whether the amount she donated was enough to cover their education costs.
In the middle of speaking with the director, Susu heard a distant voice from the building. She looked up and spotted a glimpse of a small shadow, brushing against the window curtains.
Minutes later, a little girl with two braids rushed to greet her at the entrance. Similar to how she always welcomed other children, Susu bent forward with open arms to accept the little girl's embrace.
”Susu! What are you doing?” Chen Mu called out from behind with bags of toys and clothes dangling on both arms. He caught her red handed this time, trying to bend down while he wasn't looking like a sneaky bunny stealing bites of its carrot.
She stuck out the tip of her tongue and let out a compressed sigh. ”Here we go again.”
His voice startled the little girl to a pause on her steps. Cautiously, she panted out of breath and walked up to Susu. With her tiny hands reaching up, she tugged on Susu's pinky lightly. She whispered, ”Big sis, why is big brother mad?”
Susu could imagine the wrinkles on his face if she turned around this second to face him. She smiled and rubbed the little girl's hair. ”Because there is a little brother or sister in my tummy. Big brother isn't angry. He was only worried something may hurt the baby in my tummy.”
”Oh! Little baby is inside your tummy. The baby will be very pretty like big sis!” The little girl stretched her neck as her tiny hands tried reaching to touch the questionably flat area on Susu's body. Susu pulled out a piece of tissue from her purse and wiped the girl's sweaty forehead.
Chen Mu handed all the presents to the staffs at the orphanage. As soon as he was done with his task, he hurried over to his misbehaving wife's side. Earlier, he caught her bending and reaching out to hug one of the little girls.
