After the divorce, I trained my dog, and the scumbag father and son knelt down at my door.

"call!"

Taking a deep breath, Yan Niannian composed herself before answering the phone, "Hello? Fei Siyu."

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone.

He seemed too excited and unprepared.

A few seconds later, Fei Siyu's concerned voice came through impatiently, "Niannian, you've finally answered the phone."

"Are you OK?"

"Where are you now? I'm coming to find you right away."

"I'm fine, I'm on my way back to the orphanage now." Yan Niannian's voice was still a little hoarse, but it was obviously much better than before.

"Okay, then I'll go to the orphanage to keep you company now."

"No need," Yan Niannian refused him. "Fei Siyu, I'm really fine. Don't bother me. I just want to go back and get some sleep."

“Then…” Fei Siyu hesitated for a moment.

He was truly worried about Yan Niannian, and in this situation, he wished he could protect her by her side at all times.

but……

He understood the stubbornness beneath Yan Niannian's cool exterior, yet he couldn't bring himself to disobey her.

So in the end, Fei Siyu could only swallow the bitter pill of her longing alone, and gave a wry smile, "Alright then! Niannian, you should get some rest first, I'll come see you again tomorrow."

The car slowed down as the call was disconnected.

Zhuo Yuchen glanced at Yan Niannian's profile with a deep gaze, and the tone of his words carried a sour feeling that he himself did not realize.

"You really have a lot of patience with Fei Siyu."

"Mm!" Yan Niannian nodded.

She didn't notice anything unusual about Zhuo Yuchen at all.

perhaps……

Because she no longer cared, she didn't even want to think twice when it came to Zhuo Yuchen.

“Fei Siyu has also taken good care of me. It’s a matter of reciprocity.” Without even glancing at Zhuo Yuchen, Yan Niannian murmured earnestly.

Are people all interconnected?

Upon hearing this, Zhuo Yuchen's heart stirred.

He narrowed his eyes, a thoughtful expression on his face.

Given his status, this statement is quite unusual.

Because no one had ever said such a thing to him before.

He possesses the world's most advanced resources, and those who are so fanatical that they want to curry favor with him kneel before him devoutly, offering him things with both hands, but he never takes them.

He never gives to those who are unimportant.

So where does the idea of ​​"mutual" come from?

only……

At this moment, a strange ripple stirred within him as he thought of Yan Niannian…

……

Back at the orphanage.

The children, led by Yunyun, crowded around.

Those innocent little faces looked at her, their eyes filled with deep concern, revealing their undisguised sincerity.

"Aunt Niannian, why are you so late coming back?"

"Are you okay?"

We were so worried about you!

Yan Niannian felt a lump in her throat.

At this moment, surrounded by children, her cold body finally felt some warmth.

"Auntie is fine, it's just... something came up and she was delayed."

Upon hearing this, the children finally felt relieved.

But then, a question suddenly asked by an older child almost forced Yan Niannian to shed tears she had been holding back for so long.

"Aunt Niannian, the life teacher said that the principal went to a very, very far place. Will we never see her again?"

After she finished speaking, everyone else stared at Yan Niannian expectantly.

Yan Niannian's breath hitched.

A dense, overwhelming pain spread through my heart.

She nearly lost her balance.

"Hmm!" It took a lot of effort for Yan Niannian to maintain her composure in front of the children, but her voice trembled violently. "The headmistress... went to a very, very far place."

"From now on, Aunt Niannian will take good care of you on behalf of the headmaster."

Yan Niannian gently embraced Yunyun, who was closest to her.

She looked up and saw the four abducted children.

They were temporarily placed in an orphanage.

The one leading the group was the little boy that Yan Niannian had risked her life to save.

The little boy slowly walked up to Yan Niannian and bowed gratefully to her, saying, "Auntie, thank you for saving me."

Yan Niannian helped the child up. "Child, what's your name?"

"My name is Xiaojun."

After chatting with the children for a while, Yan Niannian learned that they had all been abducted by those despicable human traffickers.

But they were too young to say where their home was.

They started crying after staying together for a short while.

They all wanted to find their mothers.

The atmosphere immediately became tense.

Negative emotions are contagious; the children in the orphanage bit their lips hard, and their eyes reddened.

"I miss my mom so much! I wonder if she'll regret abandoning me when she sees me again, and if she'll cherish me more from now on?"

"I got lost on my own, and I don't know how worried my mom will be?"

"I... was also abandoned, but I really want my mom to hug me again, even just for a moment!"

The choked sobs blended together in a mournful chorus.

Yan Niannian's heart tightened.

She was also an orphan, how could she not understand the pitifulness and sorrow of not knowing where she came from and not having a mother?

after……

She will definitely take good care of the orphanage for the director and ensure that these children have a bright future.

Therefore, Yan Niannian's gaze gradually became firm.

Yan Niannian decided to help these children find their families.

Late at night.

In the stillness of the night, Yan Niannian and the children were asleep when a shadowy figure sneaked into the orphanage.

That's a man.

He was tall, wearing a mask, and dressed in all black.

She flipped off the wall and landed gently.

Then, the man looked around a few times, and seeing that no one was around, he went straight to the fire hydrant.

Upon arriving at their destination, the man pulled a wrench from his lower back and destroyed the switches for the fire valves and fire extinguishers.

After succeeding, make a quick escape.

Everything happened silently, and Yan Niannian was completely unaware of it.

……

On the other side, the Fei family.

Madam Tong arrived with Tong Xueqing, carrying generous gifts.

The servant brought over two cups of tea.

The two of them took a sip, and then Grandpa Fei asked with a smile, "It's so late, what brings my niece here for a visit?"

Madam Tong looked at Tong Xueqing with affection, "Uncle Fei, isn't it all for my precious daughter!"

"As you know, she and Siyu grew up together since they were little, they can be considered childhood sweethearts."

"Moreover, this girl has liked Siyu for a long time, and after waiting for so many years, she is determined to marry him."

"Our two families are well-matched, so Uncle Fei, don't you think it's time to settle things regarding these two children?"

Listening quietly, Mr. Fei was not surprised at all.

At the same time, I also have the answer in my heart.

only……

It's best for the parties involved to handle these matters themselves.

“My dear niece, I can’t make decisions about Siyu’s marriage. As for who he likes, we’ll have to ask him himself.”

"Go and call the young master down."

Old Master Fei turned to the servant and gave instructions.

"Yes, sir!" The maid hurried upstairs.
