Her destiny stolen? The Divine Witch Ancestor has returned!

Wu Zhao slept very soundly.

She felt as if she had a long dream, but when she woke up, she couldn't remember anything about it.

Staring blankly at the ceiling, Wu Zhao was unusually lost in thought.

You can faintly hear Huo Weiwei's chattering voice outside the window; she sounds very energetic.

Did she sleep all day?

On the way back, Wu Zhao fell asleep leaning against Gu Chen, and even when they got out of the car, Gu Chen had to carry her down.

Wu Zhao pressed her temples; she hadn't even felt Gu Chen carrying her out of the car at that moment.

"Strange, why was I sleeping so soundly?"

Somewhat puzzled, Wu Zhao got out of bed.

Perhaps because she had slept for a long time, she now felt refreshed.

"Zhaozhao, are you awake?"

Gu Chen's voice came from outside the door.

“You said yesterday that you wanted to adopt the child from the Yan family, and I’ve already made arrangements for you.”

"The Yan family has already agreed. It's just a matter of when you plan to bring the child over."

Gu Chen actually got it done so quickly?

Wu Zhao was a little surprised. After tidying up briefly, he opened the door.

Standing outside the door, Gu Chen was holding a steaming cup of chocolate milk.

The sweet taste made Wu Zhao feel hungry.

"Have a drink, there's food downstairs."

Wu Zhao took the chocolate milk and made a sound of approval.

"Is it Yan Xuzhe from the Yan family? He actually agreed so readily?"

Wu Zhao still remembers how much Yan Xuzhe hated him after his father died, and he even took his anger out on the Wu family.

Fortunately, Wu Xingyun also looked down on Yan Xuze, and the two lost contact.

If Yan Xuzhe knew that it was Wu Zhao who wanted to adopt Xiao Xuan, how could he have agreed so easily?

"Yes, Qingyao did go to see Yan Xuzhe. But I didn't ask him to hand him over to me for no reason. Recently, the Yan family's goods have been detained at the port of Haicheng."

"He needs my help, so he'll naturally agree without hesitation."

A trade of interests... Wu Zhao turned the ring on his hand.

"If that's the case, then... why didn't you bring Xiao Xuan back with you?"

That's a bit strange.

"It's that boy named Xiao Xuan. He has deep feelings for Yan Xuzhe and is very reluctant to leave him."

"Qingyao saw that he was crying pitifully, so he agreed to pick him up in two days."

Oh?

That little brat actually has such deep feelings for Yan Xuzhe?

but……

Wu Zhao drank the chocolate milk in the cup and smacked his lips.

"The Yan family hasn't been raising Xiao Xuan for very long, right? How could this be..."

Gu Chen shook his head.

"When that child was in the orphanage, his adoptive parents always disliked him, saying that he was too old and could remember things, so he would be difficult to raise."

"The orphanage wasn't very big, and there weren't many children waiting to be adopted. He was clearly one of the first to arrive at the orphanage, but he was never adopted."

He had read all of Xiao Xuan's information; the two thin pages clearly introduced this poor child.

He was abandoned outside the hospital a few years ago when he was just born, and the hospital examined him and found that he had no physical defects.

But after staying in the hospital for almost a month, no one came to claim the child.

The hospital had no choice but to hand the baby over to an orphanage.

However, for some unknown reason, a fire broke out at the orphanage a few months later. Although there were no casualties, the children could no longer be cared for.

It was around this time that Xiao Xuan was taken in by an orphanage after many twists and turns.

He was adopted by Yan Xuzhe three months ago.

Gu Chen briefly explained his situation to Wu Zhao, and then looked at Wu Zhao.

"Yan Xuzhe treats him very well; he really raises him like his own son."

"This is the first time he has been so cherished, so he has a strong sense of dependence on Yan Xuzhe."

Wu Zhao nodded.

"Then let him stay with Yan Xuzhe for a few more days, and then have Qingyao bring him back."

As she spoke, she walked downstairs.

A delicious aroma wafted from the dining room.

Zi Yao peeked out and his eyes lit up when he saw Wu Zhao.

"Miss Wu, you're awake. The food is ready, I'll let Lan Yao know."

Following behind Wu Zhao, Gu Chen gazed gently at her retreating figure.

"You can go pick him up yourself if you want."

Wu Zhao sat down before turning to look at Gu Chen.

"No need, I don't get along with Yan Xuzhe."

She was afraid that she might accidentally smash Yan Xuzhe into mincemeat, so she decided to secretly check.

"By the way, all the children you rescued have gone home with their parents. Their parents are very grateful to you and say they want to meet their saviors no matter what."

Just then, Ziyao came out carrying a plate, looking very happy.

"Originally, Qingyao and the others had already rehearsed their statements and wouldn't mention the Wu family. But those kids pieced together a description of Miss Wu's appearance and gave it to the police, so... those people already know."

Wu Zhao was both amused and exasperated, never expecting that after dealing with the adults, he would forget about the whimsical child.

"Sigh, I really don't want to deal with these people."

Actually, Wu Zhao is not good at handling interpersonal relationships.

She used to have people around her to help her solve problems, but now... she can't possibly ask Wu Xingyun to speak up for her, can she?

"It's alright, Zhaozhao. If you find it troublesome, I'll send them away."

Gu Chen sat down next to her and comforted her.

"Has a time been set?"

"Just one meeting is enough, no need to do anything else."

She was really afraid that some parents would be too enthusiastic.

"The parents all felt that they should take their children to the hospital for a check-up first, and if there were no problems, they would organize a casual meal together."

The arrangements sound pretty good?

"Oh dear, Uncle! Little... cough cough cough, Zhao Zhao, you're awake!"

Huo Weiwei, who had just entered from outside, excitedly ran over after seeing Wu Zhao sitting in the dining room.

"You slept for a long time. Wu Xingyun's family has already returned to the Wu family."

He said he would go home first and then call me if anything happened.

Wu Zhao responded.

Why didn't you go back to the Huo family? Aren't your family worried?

He pulled out a chair next to him, gesturing for her to sit down.

“I called home last night and told them I wanted to stay at my uncle’s place for a few days.”

"My parents agreed, mainly because I also felt that although the trip was exciting, it was also quite... fun!"

Huo Weiwei sat down next to her, carefully glancing at Gu Chen out of the corner of her eye.

"Besides, my uncle said you definitely wouldn't want to be alone after you wake up. So I stayed, just in case you need anything."

She hadn't had enough of watching Wu Zhao use magic to deal with the evil spirits!

Wu Zhao looked at her and then at Gu Chen.

Gu Chen, who had been stared at by her for a while, looked back at her innocently.

What kind of image does this person have in the eyes of the younger generation?

The shrill ring of the telephone rang.

Gu Chen's gaze gradually turned cold as he saw the unfamiliar number on his phone.

"Tsk, I didn't expect them to arrive so quickly."
