Arrogant Wife, Don’t Run Away - C26
As the speed of the car slowed down, there was already someone eagerly waiting by the familiar door. Aunt Wang had finished cooking and was already standing at the entrance of the orphanage, waiting for the arrival of Shen Xingyue and Shen Xingyue.
“Aunt Wang.” Shen Xingyue stuck her head out and greeted Aunt Wang loudly before the car stopped. According to her memories, she would be taken care of by Aunt Wang after her parents met with an accident. Although she had been adopted by the Gu family later on, she would definitely come back to visit as long as she had time.
Seeing Shen Xingyue, Auntie Wang immediately broke into a smile. “Hey, why did you come so late?” Seeing that the car had stopped, he hurriedly stepped forward and looked at Shen Xingyue affectionately.
“I’ve found a job recently. I’ve been a bit busy these few days. Aunt Wang, you’re so beautiful again.” She threw herself into Aunt Wang’s arms like a child.
“What’s so beautiful about that? How old are you?” Aunt Wang looked at Shen Xingyue with benevolent eyes. In her eyes, this little girl was already his own daughter.
Shen Xingyue giggled and said, “Aunt Wang, let me introduce you. This is my good friend, Fang Qian.” After pulling Fang Qian, who had parked the car and was walking over, he hurriedly introduced.
“Aunt Wang.” With a smile, she stepped forward and bowed politely. Aunt Wang completely matched the image of her that she remembered. Her temperament was extraordinary and graceful.
He nodded with a smile and led the two into the house. “Let’s go, the children are still waiting for you.”
Looking at this familiar house, Shen Xingyue felt her heart warm. This place might be the only place that brought back good memories. Although the environment here wasn’t very good, at the very least, it was a place to enjoy life.
He walked into the room familiarly. The decorations inside didn’t change at all. He touched the familiar wall, closed his eyes and walked forward familiarly.
“Sure, you can even find him with your eyes closed.” Fang Qian was shocked by the skill that Shen Xingyue had displayed. His eyes widened as he looked at her in disbelief.
He opened his eyes and saw himself walking into the restaurant accurately. The corner of his mouth raised into a proud smile. “Then look, this is my exclusive secret manual.”
“Sister Moon.” When the children sitting around the table saw Shen Xingyue’s figure, they all called out to her in a friendly manner.
Hearing the children’s shouts, he turned his head and said, “You are all here. Do you miss me?” He dived into the group of children and squatted down to communicate with them familiarly.
Fang Qian stood at the side and watched the scene before her with a smile. She seemed to have understood why Shen Xingyue was trying so hard to earn money.
“She hasn’t been back for a long time. The children miss her.” It was unknown when Aunt Wang stood beside Fang Qian, but she looked at Shen Xingyue who was playing with the children with a gentle gaze.
“Auntie Wang, do you know Xingyue’s parents?” Fang Qian hesitated for a moment, but still voiced his doubts. She was very curious as to how her parents left.
Aunt Wang paused for a moment, turned her head and looked at Fang Qian suspiciously, “Why are you asking this?” There was a hint of wariness in his tone.
“I’m just curious. If you don’t want to say it, then forget it.” Seeing that Aunt Wang was disgusted, she decided not to ask anymore questions. After all, it was meaningless to know or not to know about this matter.
“Her parents were good friends of mine. They were kind and never evil with others, but who would have thought that luck would make a fool of them?” Aunt Wang seemed to be deep in thought as she narrated the story in a low voice. It looked like she was talking to Fang Qian, but also seemed to be reminiscing.
They sat in the orphanage for a while after dinner. It was almost midnight when they left.
“In the future, can we come back every week?” Looking through the reverse mirror at the gradually disappearing house, Shen Xingyue unwillingly muttered to herself. Previously, she would come here every Saturday for a period of time, but later on she didn’t come here often to earn money.
Fang Qian did not make a sound. He nodded his head lightly as his mind continued to replay the story of Shen Xingyue’s parents’ accident. He cast a sidelong glance at the girl beside him, his eyes filled with pity.
After sending Shen Xingyue back to her apartment, Fang Qian drove away. Just as she reached the door, her car crossed paths with Gu Luocheng’s, but neither of them noticed the other.
Returning to the apartment, Shen Xingyue dove head first into the bathroom. Lying in the bathtub, she comfortably took a hot bath to let her mind wander.
Because soaking in the water felt very comfortable, the tiredness gradually faded away, and his eyelids became heavier and heavier. Gradually, he fell asleep in the bathtub.
When Gu Luocheng returned to the apartment, he discovered that the light in Shen Xingyue’s room was still on. He walked up and knocked on the door, but after knocking for a long time, there was no sound coming from the room.
“Xingyue, Shen Xingyue, are you asleep?” He called out softly and stood quietly at the door for a while. He didn’t get any response. Then, he turned around and was about to leave when the sound of water faintly came from the room.
Frowning, he knocked on the door a few more times, but there was still no one there. His heart tensed up, fearing that Shen Xingyue would be in danger. He lightly twisted the handle of the door, only to discover that the door was unlocked.
After entering the room, he found that the bed was empty. However, the water in the bathroom was seeping out, “Shen Xingyue, are you inside?” He called out softly.
After waiting for a while, she was about to head to the bathroom when she heard a scream, “Ah!”
“Shen Xingyue, what happened to you?” He hurried to the bathroom door and asked anxiously.
“Water, why is the water spilling out!” Looking at the spilled water on the ground, Shen Xingyue was a little flustered. She had just fallen asleep and heard someone calling for her. When she opened her eyes, she saw the bath water on the ground.
Letting out a sigh of relief, he smiled helplessly, “Who are you talking to? As soon as I came back, I saw the bubbles in this land. I thought my home had turned into a dragon palace.”
He quickly turned off the tap, wrapped himself in the towel and ran out. “What should I do?” He looked at the water on the ground and asked anxiously.
When Shen Xingyue ran out of the bathroom, Gu Luocheng was startled. He blankly stared at her with a trace of peculiarity in his deep eyes. The corner of his mouth hooked into an evil smile.
“Are you trying to seduce me?” Slowly stepping forward, her gaze was blazing as she looked up and down. She quietly wrapped herself in a bath towel, completely unable to block her good figure. This was simply burning hot.
Following Gu Luocheng’s gaze, he lowered his head and his face flushed red. He had been in too much of a hurry, so he didn’t think too much about it. Feeling the approaching danger, he couldn’t help but retreat.
“I-I was in too much of a hurry.” Lowering his head, he did not dare to look at the burning gaze of the other party. He slowly retreated to the side of the bed. He lost his balance and directly fell onto the bed.
Looking at her little white rabbit’s appearance, Gu Luocheng felt as if his body was wildly clamoring, as if flames were about to gush out of his body.
