Chapter 447: Chapter 0447: Worries about Ye Xunhuan
The next day, after breakfast, Ye Xunhuan and Qiu Ruoxi went to the orphanage to visit the children and the head of the orphanage!
By now, Ye Xunhuan had become the hero of all the kids in the orphanage, their guardian angel. Seeing Ye Xunhuan arrive, they were immediately overjoyed, extremely happy and excited, all of them crowding around him.
Even though Qiu Ruoxi brought the kids lots of candies and gifts, she wasn’t as popular as Ye Xunhuan, which made Qiu Ruoxi feel a bit miffed inside, or maybe "green with envy" would be the most fitting description!
What’s so great about this jerk, getting so much love from these kids? All the kids are just swarming around him!
After spending more than two hours at the orphanage, it was almost noon when Qiu Ruoxi and Ye Xunhuan said goodbye to the head of the orphanage.
The head of the orphanage originally wanted to keep Ye Xunhuan and Qiu Ruoxi for lunch.
But Qiu Ruoxi decided not to stay. The head was already busy enough, and if she stayed, it would only make things even busier for him.
Qiu Ruoxi didn’t want her presence to cause the head any additional trouble, to make it seem like a big fuss, so she promised him that when the children moved into their new house, she would definitely come over and wouldn’t leave then.
"Wife, I hadn’t realized you were so good at soothing children!" Ye Xunhuan said while driving.
When Qiu Ruoxi was playing games with the children at the orphanage, she didn’t seem like a stern, high-and-mighty career woman, but more like a girl-next-door; even so, her chilly aura was still there, just slightly weaker than usual.
"There’s a lot you haven’t realized!" Qiu Ruoxi replied softly, "The kids are so adorable, like little angels bringing boundless joy, cleansing our souls and allowing each of us to return to nature!"
"Do you know? Every child is an angel that has fallen to earth, the best gift bestowed upon us by the heavens..."
Looking at Qiu Ruoxi’s serious expression, Ye Xunhuan couldn’t help but laugh. In all the time they had been married, he seldom saw Qiu Ruoxi being so earnest and cute.
"Why could their parents be so heartless, to abandon them?" Qiu Ruoxi sighed softly, "How could they bring themselves to do it? Don’t they miss their own children?"
Miss them?
Perhaps!
"Wife, don’t worry, when we have our children, I will definitely not abandon them!"
"If you abandon them, I’ll kill you!" retorted Qiu Ruoxi without hesitation!
But as soon as she finished speaking, Qiu Ruoxi seemed to realize something and quickly added, "I..."
Ye Xunhuan grinned and looked at her, "Wife, so you really want to have kids with me? Just say the word, and I’ll make it happen. Mom and Dad are eager to have grandkids!"
"I think today is an auspicious day; how about we make a go at creating one tonight?" 𝖓𝔬𝔳𝔭𝖚𝖇.𝔠𝔬𝖒
"Keep dreaming!" Qiu Ruoxi blushed and said, "If you want kids, go find someone else, go find your Tang Yurou!"
Ye Xunhuan sniffed hard.
"What are you doing?" asked Qiu Ruoxi, seeing this.
"Wife, do you smell that? It seems like there’s a scent of vinegar in the air, so sour it’s unbearable!"
Saying so, Ye Xunhuan sniffed again: "So sour, definitely aged vinegar!"
Qiu Ruoxi was no fool; how could she not tell that Ye Xunhuan was referring to her? Immediately her face turned cold: "Are you saying I’m jealous?"
"I didn’t say that; you did!"
"But that’s what you meant!"
"I didn’t mean that!"
"You clearly did," Qiu Ruoxi said with a frosty expression, "Ye Xunhuan, let me tell you, you are nothing but my contract husband, and as soon as I find my white horse Prince, I will kick you to the curb!"
"My dear, get a grip," he replied, "I’m here because I pity you. Otherwise, I would’ve been double dating with my Yu Rou by now!"
"You..."
"Did I say something wrong?"
"Do you think nobody likes me?"
"How could that be? Just yesterday, I saw that Yan Qingdi was quite fond of you!"
"Good that you know."
"But it seems like you don’t like him!"
"Feelings can be cultivated!"
"So we’ve been cultivating ours!"
At that, Qiu Ruoxi was momentarily at a loss for words. This bastard, who could twist any situation to his own advantage, of course, when it suited him.
Speaking of Yan Qingdi, a solemn look appeared on Qiu Ruoxi’s face.
Ye Xunhuan immediately noticed Qiu Ruoxi’s change in demeanor and directly asked, "What’s wrong?"
"Yan Qingdi was at a disadvantage here because, although my aunt seemed to bear it, the moment she can’t hold him back any longer, he definitely won’t let things go easily," Qiu Ruoxi said with concern in her voice, "If he still targets the orphanage then..."
"Then I’ll make sure he doesn’t get away with it!"
"Do you think Yan Qingdi is the same as Qi Shijie? That with my aunt, you can do whatever you want to him?" Qiu Ruoxi said coldly, "Ye Xunhuan, I warn you, Yan Qingdi is not Qi Shijie or Xu Mingzhe; he’s not so easy to mess with!"
"In terms of background alone, Yan Qingdi could leave those two in the dust. Don’t you do anything rash. I can handle this. Even if my aunt can’t hold him back, he wouldn’t dare to misbehave even if I gave him ten times the courage!"
Yan Qingdi, the young master of Tenglong Group, with a strong background in Beijing. If it weren’t for the ’witch’ Qin Rumeng, there are very few who could surpass Yan Qingdi in terms of status.
In other words, Yan Qingdi is a bona fide prince!
Though Ye Xunhuan’s background isn’t shabby either, being Qin family’s nephew and with Qin Rumeng backing him up, also as the young master of Fenghua Group, if it came down to status, the two are certainly on par with each other.
But there’s one difference: Ye Xunhuan’s surname is Ye, not Qin; no matter how much Qin Rumeng dotes on him, or even if Ye Xunhuan might become the only man not surnamed Qin to inherit the Qin family, his surname will always be Ye. Even if he becomes the head of the Qin family, there will still be many of the Qin surname who would obey in body but not in heart.
Moreover, Ye Xunhuan is not yet the master of the Qin family, just their nephew.
Whereas Yan Qingdi is of direct descent of the Yan family, even possibly the future helmsman, and he has an impeccable pedigree. If Ye Xunhuan were to ruin Yan Qingdi, the consequences would be unspeakable!
At that time, if the Yan family sought revenge on Ye Xunhuan, would the Qin family really protect him at all costs?
In an era where even dogs are judged by their lineage, would the Qin family really choose to fight tooth and nail with the Yan family for a nephew?
Qiu Ruoxi did not know how the Qin family would choose, but Qin Rumeng definitely would. The question was, could Qin Rumeng alone ensure his safety?
That’s why she, Qiu Ruoxi, couldn’t help but give Ye Xunhuan a warning shot, to not cross the line; otherwise, the consequences could be dire!
