C141 I Want to
Seeing him staring at the portrait hanging on the wall, Dean Chai smiled and said, "This is Ms. Guo Xuehua, the founder of our New Hope Orphanage. She has created more than 100 orphanages, and every orphanage will have a portrait of her to show everyone's respect for her."
This was also the first time Lee Jingjing had heard Guo Xuehua's name. When she looked up, the woman in the portrait looked to be in her thirties. Her hair was tied in a bun, and her face was round and smooth. She had the temperament of someone from a famous clan. While making people feel close to her, she didn't dare to look at her and blaspheme her.
"Brother Yang, what's wrong with you? Do you know Ms. Guo?" Lee Jingjing asked curiously.
Yang Chen shook his head and smiled, "All men are like that when they see beauties."
Lee Jingjing rolled her eyes at him, not paying him much attention.
As he followed Dean Chai inside, Yang Chen's mind was still wandering towards the portrait. He felt that he had seen that woman somewhere before, but he just couldn't remember where. This feeling made Yang Chen uncomfortable.
When they entered a large hall, they finally saw a large group of small children dressed in colorful clothes. The boys and girls all had bright black eyes wide open as they saw Lee Jingjing walk in with a look of childish delight, not caring about the poem that was still being recited. They rushed out from the inside!
"Sister Jingjing!"
"Sister Jingjing, I want to play games!"
"I want to see you draw!"
"..."
The group of children immediately surrounded Lee Jingjing and made all kinds of naive little requests. Lee Jingjing smiled happily and quickly accepted them one by one. Her body was being pulled around by them. Luckily, the child's strength was not great, otherwise Lee Jingjing's clothes would have been torn apart.
Yang Chen felt his scalp go numb, but he was too embarrassed to run away, so he put down the box and opened it. As expected, there were a lot of books with rich illustrations inside, which Yang Chen found interesting because Lee Jingjing also brought a lot of puzzle pieces. Apparently, a jigsaw puzzle was enough to keep the children busy for a long time. This way, Lee Jingjing could be considered lazy.
Half a day passed faster than Yang Chen had expected. Other than having a simple lunch, the group of children surrounded Lee Jingjing tirelessly. They wanted to listen to Lee Jingjing's story and ask Lee Jingjing to teach them how to draw watercolor paintings.
Halfway through, Lee Jingjing's throat couldn't bear it and she let Yang Chen tell the story, but when the children heard Yang Chen's dry voice telling the story, they all pouted their small mouths in anger to express their dissatisfaction.
Yang Chen walked off the stage dejectedly. He could only continue his pitiful supporting role, which made Lee Jingjing, Dean Chai, and a few other orphanage staff members giggle.
When the sun was about to set, the children finally listened to Dean Chai's suggestion and let Lee Jingjing go. They waited for the next time to come and play with them. As for the boring Yang Chen, he was completely ignored.
Outside the orphanage, a group of children were saying their goodbyes to Lee Jingjing with their eyes wide open. Some of the girls were even crying, making people feel tender towards them.
Lee Jingjing waved to the children while trying her best to hold back her tears as she forced a smile.
After they sat in the car, Lee Jingjing immediately took out a tissue to wipe the corner of her eyes, and after sobbing for a while, she said, "Every time I bid farewell to the children, I can't help but cry. Since they are still young, they lost their parents.
Yang Chen curled his lips and smiled, "It's nothing, just get used to it. Sometimes, a lot of things can make me forget about my parents."
When you were on the line between life and death, you no longer had the time to care about your parents and relatives … Yang Chen thought.
Lee Jingjing said quietly, "I only hope that I can tell the children stories and give them those little gifts to make them happy. Even though my family was very poor when I was young, with my parents accompanying me, I felt like the happiest child in the world. They must also be very envious of those children who have parents, but unfortunately, they just can't get it. "
Seeing the girl's sad expression, Yang Chen thought for a moment and asked, "Today, our Teacher Li gave so many gifts to the children, so what does Mr. Li want?"
Lee Jingjing pouted and said, "Brother Yang, stop joking around. I'm not a child anymore."
"Not only a child has the right to get the gift you want. You've been busy all day today. It's so hard on you. Brother Yang, I've decided to reward you." Yang Chen said seriously.
At this moment, the sun had set in the west. The sun's rays shone into the carriage, dyeing it with a faint golden afterglow. The interior of the carriage was very quiet. One could hear each other's breathing.
Lee Jingjing's eyes were a little intoxicated. She seemed to have thought about it for a long time as her face blushed, "I want love. Can Brother Yang give it to me?"
With that, Lee Jingjing lowered her head, not daring to look at Yang Chen again.
Yang Chen, who was still smiling just now, became silent. Lee Jingjing's sudden words were like a hammer hitting his heart.
"I don't want much, I don't want a house, I don't want a car, I don't want money, I don't want any reputation, I don't want any status, I only want a love. I just want Brother Yang to pay attention to me and love me alone, but, what I want, is probably the only thing that I can't get …"
Yeah, maybe she could give him anything else, but she just couldn't give him what she wanted.
Yang Chen sighed, "Sorry, I didn't expect it to be like this, but you are a very outstanding girl, you are still young, I think, you will have a good home. At that time, I can be your brother and go attend your wedding." After saying that, Yang Chen felt upset.
Lee Jingjing looked up with reddened eyes but a smile on her face, "Brother Yang, don't talk about this anymore. Otherwise, you'll be like my mom, urging me to get married quickly every day. It's so annoying."
"Since your parents are old, of course they would look forward to carrying their grandchildren. That's only natural."
"Okay, Brother Yang, stop comforting me. Actually, I feel more relaxed after you said it out loud. Anyway, I don't want to get married yet. Maybe after you get divorced, I'll still have a chance?"
"Don't count on me, I'm not a good man." Yang Chen felt that he wasn't a good person when facing Lee Jingjing.
Lee Jingjing shook her head. "Whether you are a good person or not, it doesn't matter what you say. The woman will be the one to decide after all."
That seemed to make sense. It was just that he liked a lot of women, even though his words were a bit out of place.
"That's right, Jingjing." Yang Chen suddenly remembered something, "Last time, you said you wanted to move out. Do you understand now?"
Lee Jingjing said, "Yes, I've thought about it. I'm looking for a house, but I don't want to renovate and buy furniture after a while. That's too troublesome, I plan to rent a smaller house directly. With my current salary, it shouldn't be too hard."
Yang Chen nodded. As a girl grew up, her thoughts would gradually become independent. Looking at Lee Jingjing who seemed to be in decline, Yang Chen didn't say anything. He started the car and drove her home.
"..."
The weekend passed quickly, and it was time for Monday's work.
Although Yang Chen had accepted the task given by his wife's CEO, this project would not be made public for the time being, so he didn't mention the need for transfer and promotion. Only on special occasions would he be the director of the sub-project. Therefore, Yang Chen still bought a bunch of breakfast and brought it to the PR Department's office early in the morning.
As soon as they entered, Zhang Cai, who loved eating the most, was the first to rush in. She took two bags of water and fried buns and a bag of milk and started gobbling them down. The other beauties couldn't help but gnash their teeth in anger when they saw Zhang Cai's eating style. They were all curious as to why Zhang Cai could eat so much, but her figure didn't change at all. Except for her plump, round face, she didn't gain any weight at all?
When the breakfast was almost shared, Yang Chen suddenly realized that Zhao Hongyan, who sat closest to him, did not come. Recalling what happened on Friday night, Yang Chen felt that things were not going well.
At this moment, Liu Mingyu suddenly rushed in from the door. Because she walked fast, her face was slightly flushed and she looked excited. She walked up to Yang Chen and asked anxiously, "Yang Chen, what happened between you and Hongyan?"
Liu Mingyu's voice was urgent, so every woman in the office heard it clearly. They all looked at Yang Chen in surprise.
Yang Chen frowned, "Sister Mingyu, what's wrong?"
Liu Mingyu said sullenly, "Hongyan's husband, Yu Guang, came to the company with her brother-in-law, Yu Hui. Hongyan looks terrible, as if she was beaten up. Yu Guang is shouting about looking for a man called 'Yang Chen'. What they said is terrible. It caused a ruckus in the lobby of the first floor!"
Yang Chen's face turned dark. Zhao Hongyan didn't contact him during the weekend, so he thought it should be no big deal. However, now that something happened to Zhao Hongyan, she probably didn't have the chance to contact him or didn't want to tell him at all.
If it wasn't for the weekend, her husband would have pulled her to him two days ago.
"Take it." Yang Chen stuffed the leftover breakfast and soy milk in his hands to Liu Mingyu.
Liu Mingyu caught it hastily and asked, "What are you doing?"
"It's time for the man named 'Yang Chen' to appear."
