Li An’an woke up very early in the morning. She had been sleeping on the same bed as Chu Yichen recently, but nothing had happened between them so far.
She was starting to get used to it now. As she made breakfast in the morning, something came to mind. They were going to start shooting next week. What was she going to do about the children?
She said when Chu Yichen came to the kitchen, “I have to shoot next week. I plan to send the kids to my friend’s for a few days.” Initially, she had wanted to trouble Fu Yiheng, but after what had happened yesterday, she changed her mind.
Li An’an had just finished speaking when she noticed that Chu Yichen’s expression had turned icy. “Where do you want to send the children?”
“To the orphanage.”
“Say it again.”
Li An’an said softly, “There’s nothing bad about that place. It’s only for a few days. I lived there when I was young. The people there are very kind and caring. ”
Chu Yichen suppressed his anger. To think that she could even entertain the thought of sending his children to the orphanage. “There’s no need to do that. I’ll get Butler Chu to come over to take care of them.”
“No, the children’s mother won’t agree to that. Besides, we’re not related. You don’t have to go that extra mile.” Li An’an was insistent. That there was no room for negotiation where this matter was concerned.
Chu Yichen lowered his head dangerously. “Not related? Are you sure?”
For some reason, Li An’an felt guilty. She was stunned. Did Chu Yichen know something? She was so nervous that she broke out in a cold sweat. Chu Yichen spoke again.
“I’ve adopted Baobao, therefore I’m not unrelated! After all, they’re Baobao’s older brothers, don’t you think so?”
Li An’an heaved a sigh of relief. So he didn’t know.
“But their mommy is their kin. You can’t interfere too much!” She would never agree to hand the kids over to Butler Chu to be cared for. She would run the risk of being exposed at any moment, especially since Butler Chu doted on them so much. It made her even more worried.
“Alright, send them to the orphanage if you insist!” Chu Yichen relented. Li An’an was puzzled. Things had gone unexpectedly smoothly. She had thought that he would want his way.
Seeing that she was looking at him, Chu Yichen asked, “Why? Are you regretting? Do you want me to take care of the children instead?”
“No, I won’t change my mind!”
Chu Yichen did not speak further. After having breakfast with the children, he and Li An’an sent them to kindergarten.
After the two of them parted ways, Li An’an went to the orphanage. She told
Director Wang that she wanted to entrust the children to her care next week.
Director Wang agreed readily. “An’an, the children’s father comes from a good family background. Are you sure you don’t want them to acknowledge each other? Besides, I think Baobao’s grandparents are very well-mannered. Was there a misunderstanding back then?”
Li An’an stood by the window and looked at the scenery outside. “I have no idea either.”
The video that Li Chong had used to blackmail her showed that she was being supported by CEO Cao as they entered the room, but how did she end up with Chu Yichen? Moreover, Li Chong didn’t know Chu Yichen, so it was not likely to have been arranged in advance.
“You could consider it as an option. After all, the children need a complete family”
“Okay, I’ll think about it”
“By the way, An’an, Mr. Fu is not bad either. He must like you a lot.”
“Yes, he stood by me throughout my most difficult times!”
Director Wang smiled. Such matters were not something she could help with.
“Matters of the heart can’t be forced. Follow your heart!”
Li An’an ran into Song Li, the cleaner, after she left Director Wang’s office. When Song Li saw Li An’an, she had such a fright that she dropped her broom. So Li An’an really wasn’t dead.
“Auntie Song, it’s been a long while!” Li An’an laughed sarcastically.
Song Li recalled how she had bullied Li An’an when the latter was young. Too ashamed to stay, the cleaner scurried away.
Li An’an shook her head. Director Wang was too soft-hearted. People like Song Li would never change.. Who knew how many more children would be bullied?
