Chapter 249: Chapter 0249 Who Do You Want to Call You Uncle?
Early in the morning, when Ye Xunhuan woke up, Qiu Ruoxi was already sitting in front of the dressing table, getting dolled up, which surprised Ye Xunhuan.
Usually, when he got up, Qiu Ruoxi would still be sleeping as sweetly as a pig. Why did she get up so early today!
Seeing Ye Xunhuan climb out of bed, Qiu Ruoxi said indifferently, "Hurry up and wash up; join me on a trip to the First Welfare Institute later!"
"You’re going to the First Welfare Institute?" Ye Xunhuan was shocked!
"Yes!" Qiu Ruoxi said softly, "You told me about the welfare institute, and I wanted to go yesterday, but I couldn’t make it. Luckily, I’m free this afternoon, so you’ll accompany me!"
"Okay!"
Ye Xunhuan agreed without hesitation.
Qiu Ruoxi was a typical rich woman and a newcomer in the business world. If he accompanied her to the welfare institute, the children’s future lives there...
Thinking this, Ye Xunhuan jumped out of bed and quickly headed to the bathroom.
At this moment, Qiu Ruoxi had already turned her body, with a sly smile on her lips not to mention the unprecedented anticipation in her eyes!
"Whoosh!"
Just as Ye Xunhuan was pushing the bathroom door open, a basin of cold water poured down from above, drenching him completely and making him shiver!
After seeing this, Qiu Ruoxi immediately burst into laughter, shaking like a branch in the wind!
"Qiu Ruoxi..." Ye Xunhuan gritted his teeth as he slowly turned around.
"This is what you get for framing me yesterday!" Qiu Ruoxi said, her face adorned with an uncontrollable smile.
Humming a tune, Qiu Ruoxi walked away like a proud peacock.
Watching her retreating figure, Ye Xunhuan’s mouth twitched slightly. How could this woman hold grudges like that?
Was it just a joke I made?
And to prank me early in the morning like this?
Women really are vengeful creatures!
And she even played me with a ruse, using the children at the welfare institute to lure me into a state of panic, making me fall for it! 𝑛𝘰𝑣𝑝𝑢𝑏.𝘤𝑜𝘮
Well, she’s certainly learned new tricks!
Ye Xunhuan wasn’t angry at being played by Qiu Ruoxi; on the contrary, a smile tugged at his lips.
However, this is what makes life interesting, right?
And this wife of mine isn’t as cold as she used to be.
It seems the old saying is true, the best way to change a woman’s status is to take action!
But it’s not like I actually did that, right?
After freshening up, Ye Xunhuan went downstairs for breakfast and then left the villa with Qiu Ruoxi.
But this time, Qiu Ruoxi didn’t let Ye Xunhuan drive; instead, she made him act as her driver to take her to the orphanage.
This made Ye Xunhuan speechless. Am I destined to be a driver?
"Wife, what exactly are you planning to do to help the kids at the welfare institute?"
"I’ll go and see first, then organize a charity gala," Qiu Ruoxi said without hesitation, "to help these kids!"
Qiu Ruoxi would indeed like to finance the help for these kids herself, but that would require a lot of money!
Over a hundred children, renovating the welfare institute, various facilities, as well as education, just can’t be supported by her alone.
Thus, she must seek outside help and get money from others’ pockets.
In this regard, Ye Xunhuan could understand, not to mention building a new welfare institute requires tens of millions of capital, let alone other things.
Qiu Ruoxi has money, but it needs to be fluid enough to be used!
"So today you..."
"I have already contacted the reporters; they interviewed us yesterday. This time, I came to discuss with the director, to see if he could make an appearance at the charity event. That way, perhaps we can raise more money to help these children!"
Qiu Ruoxi had made a complete plan for the welfare of the orphanage, and she came today to understand the director’s thoughts.
"The director will definitely agree!" Ye Xunhuan said confidently.
A man who had knelt down for these children, casting aside all pride and shame—how could he disagree?
For him, these children were the apple of his eye!
The closer they got to the orphanage, the bumpier the road became, full of potholes and difficult to navigate.
Looking at the houses and the environment by the road, Qiu Ruoxi felt a slight pang in her heart. A reporter had informed her about the condition here yesterday, but seeing it firsthand stirred a different feeling in her!
After parking the car in front of the orphanage, the children looked curiously at the vehicle, just like last time.
When Ye Xunhuan and Qiu Ruoxi stepped out of the car, the children immediately took a step back.
Seeing this, Ye Xunhuan was not surprised but instead said with a chuckle, "What, you haven’t seen me for a day, and you don’t recognize me anymore?"
"Uncle Ye..."
"It’s Uncle Ye, Director Grandpa, Uncle Ye is here..."
Just like last time, the children immediately cheered.
Ye Xunhuan smiled and his eyes lit up as he spotted Diudiu, walked over, squatted down, and picked him up: "Little Diudiu, did you miss me?"
"Mhmm!" Diudiu nodded vigorously: "Uncle Ye, who is this beautiful older sister?"
Diudiu glanced at Qiu Ruoxi somewhat fearfully.
"She’s not an older sister, she’s an aunt, understand, an aunt!" Ye Xunhuan said somewhat displeased.
Calling him uncle and Qiu Ruoxi an older sister—what kind of relationship did that imply?
"Little friend, my name is Qiu Ruoxi, you can call me Sister Ruoxi!"
Looking at Diudiu’s tattered clothes, Qiu Ruoxi felt a rush of mixed emotions. How could they suffer so much?
Dressed like beggars, even the clothes they ordinarily threw away were hundreds of times better than what they wore, yet they continued to wear them!
Why must they endure such hardships at an angelic age?
"Diudiu, call her aunt, not sister. What’s with that old lady pretending to be pure!"
Seeing Qiu Ruoxi being so shameless, Ye Xunhuan felt really irritated.
Qiu Ruoxi, as if she didn’t want to scare the children, didn’t argue but just glared fiercely at Ye Xunhuan.
Just then, Diudiu said, "Uncle Ye, Sister is very pretty; why do you insist I call her aunt? Isn’t it nice to call her sister?"
"And I like calling her sister..."
A child’s words are the most sincere, without any pretense or deceit.
So, hearing Diudiu call her pretty, Qiu Ruoxi’s face immediately showed a look of pride, and she boastfully looked at Ye Xunhuan.
Seeing Qiu Ruoxi’s vain appearance, Ye Xunhuan scoffed, "Diudiu, look, if you call her sister and me uncle, wouldn’t that mean I’m a generation older than she is, and she should call me uncle too..."
"Ye Xunhuan, you bastard, go die!"
Saying this, Qiu Ruoxi grabbed her purse and started beating Ye Xunhuan with it.
"Don’t scare the children..." Ye Xunhuan didn’t dare to dodge, letting Qiu Ruoxi’s purse hit him.
Then, still not satisfied, Qiu Ruoxi directly grabbed Ye Xunhuan’s ear and demanded, "Say it, who do you want to call you uncle..."
"Ouch, ouch..." Ye Xunhuan cried out in pain.
Being ear-tugged by a woman, Ye Xunhuan had only ever been tugged by his mother and aunt before—now Qiu Ruoxi was the third!
