Chapter 168: The Orphanage
"Thank you, my wife." Ji Yan’s cold brows were filled with gentleness. His large palm under the table brazenly grabbed Shen Hanxing’s slender and fair hand. He softly said, "I also wish you a happy new year, and may you succeed in everything that you do."
They were eating! This man was too daring! Shen Hanxing subconsciously wanted to withdraw her hand. However, not only did she fail to do so, but the grip on her hand also tightened.
Ji Qian and Ji Ning, who were sitting across from her, did not notice anything. Only Ji Mo’s eyes flashed with something. Then, he raised his cup of warm water and said, "I wish you a happy new year, Sister-in-law. Big Brother, Fourth Sister, and Fifth Sister, happy new year."
With that, Ji Yan had no choice but to let go of his hand and raise his cup expressionlessly. His sharp gaze landed on Ji Mo, but Ji Mo did not avoid it. Instead, Ji Mo gave Ji Yan an obedient and gentle smile.
The next morning, after Ji Yan left for work, Ji Qian could no longer sit still. She jumped up and down, trying to figure out what else they had left behind.
"That’s enough," Ji Mo said as he sat on the sofa. "Fourth Sister, don’t worry. Assistant Han Qi has already arranged everything."
"I just want to confirm it one more time. Otherwise, it will be awkward later if we find out that there aren’t enough things," Ji Qian grumbled unhappily. She then went over to look at Ji Ning, who was typing on her phone. Ji Qian curiously asked, "Xiao Ning, what are you busy with?"
"Sister-in-law said that she wants to set up a stall to cook dumplings at the entrance of the orphanage. She wants to let everyone have dumplings," Ji Ning arched her eyebrows and said with a smile, "I’m making a final confirmation with the shop that sells dumplings."
"Then what do I do?" Ji Qian sat down dejectedly. She counted with her fingers as she said, "Sister-in-law is going to give out dumplings. Xiao Ning, you’re going to bring the children to play the piano. Ji Mo, you will be teaching the children how to draw. What about me? What do I do?" As good-for-nothing trash, it was really difficult for her to live with this family!
