C86 (2/2)

”Where is the orphanage you were talking about?”

The servant was shocked and turned around. ”Madam, the orphanage is in Lin City, but it's all burned down.”

Qiao Anxiao nodded and asked again, ”Is there an orphanage in Tong City?”

The servant thought for a moment, indicating that he didn't know.

”It's fine. Go get busy.”

After the servant had left, Qiao An Yun searched for the words ”Tong City Orphanage” on the internet and found that there was an orphanage in the northern suburbs of Tong City. The conditions seemed to be quite poor.

If... If he could do more good things and do good deeds, would he be able to make up for his past sins? she thought innocently.

So she used her savings to buy some brushes and paper and some books to go to the orphanage tomorrow. In addition to doing some good deeds, she also wanted to see if the place she dreamt of in her dream was an orphanage?

When he got home and saw the piles of drawing paper and books, he was surprised. The butler told him that Joanna had bought them and that she planned to go to the orphanage in the north of the city tomorrow to check on the children.

He nodded and went upstairs.

When he got back to the room, he found that Qiao Anxiao was already asleep. He gently tried not to wake her up and laid down beside her.

Looking at her sleeping profile, Fu Siming pondered. He understood her thoughts, and he also knew that she had been holding on with all her might for the past few days, afraid that she would make him worry.

”Qiao Anghan …” Fu Siming softly called her name, then used a voice so low that only he could hear himself saying, ”Ye Huoyan.”

The next morning, Joanna woke up, washed, and went downstairs. Fosmin was no longer at home, but the car was still parked in front of the house, and she couldn't help feeling a little surprised.

”What are you doing?” she asked when she saw several people putting the items she had bought yesterday into the trunk of the car.

The driver, Xiao Wu, got out of the car and said, ”Madam, sir asked me to drive you to the orphanage on the north side of the city. It's not very convenient to travel there, and there are a lot of things, so we can bring them all at once. ”

He always did, and unwittingly he moved her. She had clearly never told him about these things, but he knew about them all and even helped her arrange everything.

”Then I'll be troubling you.”

”It's no trouble.” Little Wu smirked. He opened the car door to let Johann catch a car, and the car drove all the way to the orphanage at the north side of the city.

After almost two hours of driving, they finally reached their destination. The place where he got off was still a distance away from the orphanage. Little Wu told her to go in first, so he moved the things over to the orphanage.

Qiao Anxiao nodded and left alone in the direction of the orphanage. Little Wu carried her things and followed behind him.

As soon as they reached the door of the orphanage, they heard the laughter of children. It sounded like they were very happy.

Qiao Anxiao could not help but reveal a smile. Happy emotions were ”contagious”, and this was the first time she smiled from the bottom of her heart.

There were many climbing tigers outside the walls of the orphanage. An iron gate was closed, separating the inside from the outside. But those children were so carefree...

For some reason, this scene gave her a familiar and intimate feeling.

She knocked on the door gently. The guard then opened it and asked, ”May I ask what you are here for?”

”I came to see the children here and brought them some paintings and books.”

The guard took a cursory glance at the item in Little Wu's hands. There were no problems, so he let her through.

Little Wu left her things with the doorman and went back to get the rest.

Qiao Anyun walked alone into the yard and saw a group of children playing a game. Amongst the children, there was another man, it was Gu Nan City!

His stubble was very deep, and he looked less scholarly and more downcast than before, but he was now playing gently and patiently with the children.

To Gu Nan City, the orphanage was a very important place.

That was the place where he first saw her, and it was also the place where he secretly felt feelings for her.

Instead of getting drunk all day, he came to this orphanage and stayed here with the children as if he were with her.

He had wanted to go back to Lin City, to the orphanage where they had first met, but on the eve of his departure, there had been a fire in the orphanage, and everything that had to do with her memories was gone.

Looking at Gu Nan City's face full of beards, he had become a lot skinnier. Qiao An Yun remembered what Fu Jingjing had said before, that the girl Gu Nan City liked had passed away. He hadn't seen any trace of Gu Nan City for several days, so he had come here to accompany his children.

When Gu Nan City saw Qiao Anzhi, they were somewhat surprised by her arrival. They stopped playing with the children and looked at her, not saying a word.

The children, seeing that Gu Nan City was no longer playing with them, also looked towards the woman who came in. One of the bold kids walked up to Joanna and asked, ”Beautiful sister, are you looking for big brother?”

Qiao Anxiao smiled and said, ”Elder sister came to see you and even brought some good things for you. Do you want to know what it is?”

”Yes!” The children spoke in unison, and then excitedly surrounded Joanna.

”There are books, brushes, drawing paper and some toys in the bag over there. Go and take a look.”

The children went happily to the door.

Qiao Anxiao smiled as he looked at Gu Nan City and said, ”Doctor Gu, I didn't expect to meet you here by coincidence.”
