"Shen… Fanxing." She paused, seemingly having a hard time remembering Shen Fanxing's name.
Shen Fanxing pressed her lips, as she wasn't surprised.
That was how Ye Qingqiu was like. She was too good at talking and she could be close to anyone. But she didn't have a close relationship with everyone.
It was an honor that she could still remember her name.
"You… Why are you sitting here?"
She couldn't bring herself to say that she had been released.
"I passed by this place. The smell of the bus is too horrible. So I took a breather here."
Shen Fanxing nodded her head. In the past, Ye Qingqiu was undoubtedly the most pampered, picky and pretentious woman in the world.
In reality, she wasn't liked by other women. It wasn't because of how bad she was, but because of her heartless personality and beauty.
Shen Fanxing contemplated for a while before asking, "Where are you going? Let me send you."
Ye Qingqiu glanced at her and asked, "Where are you going?"
"I'm going to the orphanage."
Something flashed across Ye Qingqiu's eyes before she opened the passenger's door with the lollipop still in her mouth.
"It's been a while since we last met. I have nothing on anyway. I'll go to the orphanage with you then you can send me home."
Shen Fanxing sized her up for a while before turning to look at the rearview mirror on her left. Her eyebrows twitched when she saw a car parked on the opposite side of the road.
She contemplated for a while before alighting from the car. She rounded the car once before getting into the car. She started the engine and continued driving.
Ye Qingqiu didn't reveal any emotions on her face. Her hands that were placed at the side, were clenched tightly into white fists.
When they reached the orphanage, one of the teachers came out after Shen Fanxing had parked her car.
"Miss Fanxing, you're here?"
Shen Fanxing nodded lightly.
The teacher's gaze landed on Ye Qingqiu.
"She is?"
"My friend. She came with me."
She said as she opened the boot of the car. Then, she took out the snacks and books that she had prepared for the children.
"Where's Linlin?"
The teacher was used to Shen Fanxing's asking about Linlin and replied naturally,
"He's in the music room listening to Miss Ji Yi playing the piano."
Shen Fanxing's eyes sparkled. "Has Linlin's mother visited him?"
When she asked the question, the corners of her eyes were peeled on Ye Qingqiu's expression.
Ye Qingqiu's lips tightened and she cracked the lollipop in her mouth with her teeth.
The teacher sighed and said, "No! I heard that she has long been released from prison, but she hasn't visited the child at all. We don't dare to tell the truth to the boy. He is looking forward to… and sitting at the door every day for a long time. You reminded him to eat well and so that he can protect his mommy after he grows up. He eats three meals a day. He doesn't even miss one meal even when he's sick with a fever. After eating, he vomits again… Sigh, he's too obedient… My heart aches just looking at him…"
Ye Qingqiu stood at the side with her body tensed. Her eyes were lowered and her long lashes trembled violently.
Shen Fanxing could feel the strong emotions emanating from her.
No matter how heartless she pretended to be, she couldn't hide her emotions.
How could she hide it?
Even an outsider like her couldn't help but feel sorry for the boy. Moreover, she was Linlin's mother.
"Let's go in and check on him."
"Okay, go ahead."
Shen Fanxing took two steps forward, but Ye Qingqiu didn't follow her.
