Xuxu couldn't wait any longer and hastened her footsteps . Was there some joyous occasion that led the children out for some fun despite such bitterly cold weather?
"Hey, Xuxu is here . "
The security guard at the orphanage was visibly shocked, and yet pleasantly surprised when he saw Xuxu . He promptly opened the courtyard door . "Mr . Ah Heng had just arrived too . "
Xuxu was rather startled . "He's here too?"
The security guard nodded in return . "He arrived less than 10 minutes ago . "
"Oh . " Xuxu stretched her hand and held on to Su Yue . "Yueyue, let's go in quickly . "
Su Yue's hand was icy cold . She timidly surveyed the surrounding of the orphanage .
Xuxu leaned over and whispered into her ears, "I'm very good at making chocolates . Tonight, I'll make some for you when we get home . "
"Okay!" Su Yue happily nodded her head . She had completely let down her guard .
In the courtyard, a group of children was playing some games . They joined hands and formed a circle around Jiang Zhuoheng .
It was now winter . Everyone bundled up like a haystack and their cheeks had turned as red as an apple from the cold .
Jiang Zhuoheng was wearing a suit with a down-filled coat pulled over it . A piece of red cloth blindfolded his eyes . He was fumbling around with both his hands stretched out in front of him .
The children encircled him, and one of the children was wearing a cap with a red flag .
At a glance, Xuxu could easily tell that Young Master Jiang was trying to feel for the red flag .
She looked at Su Yue who was next to her . Su Yue fixed her eyes at them, but there wasn't a trace of expression on her face .
She seemed to be disinterested .
"Sister Xuxu . "
All of a sudden, a sharp-eyed child from among the group of children, spotted Xuxu and squealed in delight .
"It's really Sister Xuxu . "
"Sister Xuxu . "
Instantly, all attention turned away from Young Master Jiang and everyone flooded towards Xuxu .
Xuxu smiled and squatted down to receive warm hugs from the children . She hugged each one who excitedly jumped on her .
"Xuxu . " Jiang Zhuoheng trailed behind the children and walked towards Xuxu with a smile .
When Xuxu heard Jiang Zhuoheng calling out to her, she raised her head and looked over . Noticing the bruise at the corner of his mouth, she raised her voice on purpose . "Hey, is it the trend to have wounds on one's face?"
Hearing this, Jiang Zhuoheng instinctively reached out to feel his bruise . He lowered his head in embarrassment .
"Sister Xuxu, brother Ah Heng said he had a fight with a jerk and beat him up . What is a jerk?"
"Brother is so awesome . "
All the little children raised their heads and curiously looked at Xuxu .
Xuxu was dumbfounded…
Was Jiang Zhuoheng being influenced by Yan Rusheng or was he giving him a taste of his own medicine?
Yan Rusheng often put him down in her presence .
She knew that Ah Heng was thin-skinned, and she mustn't over tease him . She stood up and held Su Yue by her hand and introduced her to the children . "I've brought a sister today . "
The children's vision moved simultaneously towards Su Yue .
"Wow, this sister is so pretty . "
When they saw Su Yue's exquisite face, they continuously lavished praises on her with words that they were familiar with .
Xuxu added, "This sister's name is Su Yue . "
Immediately, one child from the crowd fought to speak . "Sister Moon . "
Sister Moon? Xuxu momentarily paused when she heard the nickname . She looked at Su Yue and spotted her curled lips .
She could sense that she adored this nickname . Hence, she smiled and said to the children, "Alright, you can address her as Sister Moon . "
Xuxu stirred Su Yue around . She gradually warmed up and blended into the children's joyful spirits .
"Ah Heng, why are you here?"
Xuxu took the opportunity to have a chat with Jiang Zhuoheng .
Jiang Zhuoheng lightly answered, "I came over to settle some government-related land matters and took the chance to visit the children . "
