He was too young to hide his emotions at all, and didn't know that his fear and guilt were already evident in his words.

He tried hard to raise his head and smile, but this smile was uglier than crying.

His baby voice trembled: "Sister, are you going to send me back?"

If he said that, would the beautiful sister not want him anymore and send him back to the orphanage?

I think of the orphanage, the director who is always cursing and has a bad temper, and the nuns who wear black nun uniforms and beat people with sticks while grinning.

and also……

There was also a horrifying scene in the dark room.

Lele trembled even more violently.

His big eyes were filled with tears, but he was too stubborn to let them fall.

Even if, even if he was sent back to the orphanage, he absolutely could not tell anyone.

There are so many bad guys and they are so scary.

If the pretty sister knew about this, those bad guys would never let her go.

Such a beautiful sister is so good, she must not be taken away by those bad guys.

He stood there, biting his lips with his small teeth, his thin neck drooping, his whole body exuding an inexplicable stubbornness that made people feel distressed.

Seeing him like this, Ruan Xingchen couldn't bear to continue questioning him.

"What are you thinking about?"

She smiled and said softly, "Since I brought you back, how could I possibly send you back? I was just asking casually because I wanted to show some concern for Lele."

Hearing that she would not send him away, Lele's big eyes suddenly lit up.

That ecstatic look is heartbreaking.

Forget it.

If you don’t want to say it, don’t say it.

Ruan Xingchen knew that this child must be hiding many secrets.

Just like when he was in the hospital, he was very defensive towards Ruan Weisi and the nun, and would rather be beaten than be treated.

There must be a reason for a child's behavior.

But he didn't want to say it, and she had no way to force him.

I believe that sooner or later, Lele will be willing to open his heart to her and tell her the whole story with trust.

Lele is still young and starts to feel sleepy after eating.

Huo Chenglin took him upstairs to sleep and helped him take a bath.

Grandma is old and goes back to her room early.

The living room soon became empty again.

Just as Ruan Xingchen was lost in thought, her cell phone suddenly rang.

A long list of phone numbers appeared on the screen, all located overseas.

"Hello?"

She answered the phone with some doubts.

It was very quiet on the other end of the phone, with only the sound of a shallow and delicate breathing coming through the microphone.

There was no sound.

This made her brows furrowed involuntarily. Facing Huo Yan's puzzled gaze, she shook her head and said calmly, "Hello. If you don't want to talk, I'll hang up."

"Ms. Ruan is truly cold-blooded and heartless."

At this moment, an evil voice came from the microphone, which made people couldn't help but outline a handsome but evil face in their minds.

His voice was slightly hoarse, as if he had just woken up, and it seemed as if he had deliberately lowered his voice, flirting like a whisper.

The tone was affectionate and lingering, with a hint of evil, which inexplicably reminded people of the cold and sticky touch of a poisonous snake crawling across the skin, giving people goose bumps.

"Helian Hanye."

Ruan Xingchen frowned and revealed the other party's identity.

As soon as she finished speaking, a low, somewhat creepy, joyful laugh came from the other end of the microphone.

Helian Hanye was in a good mood.

His feeling was indeed correct.

Although they had only met briefly two or three times, Ms. Ruan seemed to have an extraordinary understanding of him.

Not only could she recognize him accurately based on a silhouette, but now that he had deliberately lowered his voice and only said ten words, she could still accurately recognize him through the microphone with a slightly changed tone.

What is the reason for such unique attention?

What does she know?

Given his identity, it would be dangerous if too much was known to others.

However, Helian Hanye felt inexplicably excited, and even felt that his blood was flowing faster.

He couldn't help but put the tip of his tongue against the roof of his mouth, covered his eyelids with one hand, and smiled happily for a long time.

Then he chuckled and said, "Ms. Ruan, long time no see."

It was as if the relationship between the two people was very close, and the voices seemed to be filled with longing, soft and affectionate.

Ruan Xingchen frowned even more tightly and said in a cold voice, "Mr. Helian, why did you call me? If it's just a boring chat, I'm sorry I can't accompany you."

"Why is Ms. Ruan so cold to me?"

Helian Hanye raised his eyebrows, as if he was a little sad, but the smile on his lips would not fade away.

She whispered softly, "The wound Ms. Ruan left me last time hasn't healed completely yet. Now that she's so distant from me, it really hurts even more. My heart aches terribly."

Why doesn't it hurt him to death?

Ruan Xingchen's eyes sank.

"Mr. Helian, have you forgotten that you were the one who hurt yourself with the fruit knife last time? What does it have to do with me?"

With a sneer, she casually turned on the speakerphone.

She lazily sank into the sofa, playing with the hair that fell on her chest, and said softly, "If Mr. Helian feels that the injury is not enough, I can serve you next time."

"Ms. Ruan is truly heartless."

Helian Hanye sighed softly.

If someone could see his expression now, they would definitely notice that his eyes were full of madness and excitement.

With bloodthirsty murderous intent.

Licking the corner of his lips with the tip of his tongue, he said softly, "Ms. Ruan, you are speaking so coldly, it's a bit too hurtful."

"I don't know when my wife developed feelings for Mr. Helian."

Huo Yan closed the document in his hand, his dark eyes cold as he looked at his phone.

It’s as if I can see the person opposite me through the phone.

His voice was icy, and he forcefully declared his possessiveness: "I advise Mr. Helian to be careful with his words and actions. I am petty and very jealous. If Mr. Helian continues to stir up trouble, I am afraid I will have to come to your house to seek advice."

Hearing his voice, Helian Hanye couldn't help but rub the corner of his mouth.

It is as smooth as jade here, without any trace.

He seemed to feel a little pain.

It seemed like he was back to the day of Zhong Shaoyang and Li Mian’s wedding, when Huo Yan’s hard fist hit him in the face without mercy.

"Don't worry, Mr. Huo."

Helian Hanye laughed, with a hint of fighting spirit in his voice, "I believe that we will continue our competition one day. When the time comes, I will be waiting for Mr. Huo's arrival."

"A defeated general dares to challenge me?"

With his thin lips raised, Huo Yan, who was always calm and composed, rarely showed strong aggressiveness.

With a hint of contempt, he said coldly, "It's getting late. If you're just here to boast, Mr. Helian, don't waste your time. My wife and I should rest."

Spending every second of your time on such people is a waste.
