“Cough, cough, cough, cough!”

Xue Xi choked. She tried her best to suppress the itch in her throat and looked fiercely at Xiang Huai. If she had not confirmed that it was a dream last night, she would have definitely suspected that Xiang Huai did it on purpose!

When Ye Li, who had just come downstairs, saw her like this, she could not help but say gently, “Xixi, eat slowly. No one is s.n.a.t.c.hing the bun from you. You child, you can even choke while eating~”

Xue Xi: “…”

At this moment, Xiang Huai had already stood up and approached her. He patted her back, and after she’d taken two mouthfuls of porridge and finally suppressed the itch, Xiang Huai said, “After your birthday, you’ll be 20 years old. You’ll be a grownup.”

Xue Xi: “…”

Was last night really a dream?!

Just as she was in a daze, Ye Li also said, “Yes, it’ll be her 20th birthday. Before we reunited with Xixi, we couldn’t help her celebrate. And because of the pressure from the college entrance examination last year, we only invited a few good friends to join our family. Why don’t we hold a grand celebration for this year’s birthday?”

Just as Xue Xi was about to reject it, she heard Xiang Huai say, “I also think we should have a grand celebration. Auntie, can you leave this year’s birthday arrangements to me? Shall we celebrate her birthday in Bin City?”

Ye Li calculated the date. “Xixi’s birthday is on the sixth day of the new year. Let’s hold it in Bin City. After all, our family has more friends in Bin City than in the capital.”

It had been nearly half a year since her family moved to the capital. Although Ye Li knew Lin Jing, she still had very few friends in the capital.

Xiang Huai: “Sure.”

After saying that, he looked at Xue Xi affectionately. “Xixi, I’ll definitely give you an unforgettable birthday party.”

Xue Xi: “…”

She finally swallowed the bun in her mouth. Even if she wanted to reject him, she could not have said anything. The matter had been settled.

Have you asked the one involved for their opinion?!

The corners of Xue Xi’s lips twitched. Seeing Ye Li’s eager expression, as though she wanted to give her the best things in the world, she eventually retracted her rejection.

She had been lost to them for eighteen years and everyone felt that she was pitiful. However, no one knew that she actually lived very comfortably in the orphanage.

It was even comparable to life with wealthy families.

However, no one would believe her words. Ye Li and Xue Sheng always felt that they had let her down and wanted to make up for it.

Hence, this birthday banquet was not for her, but to rea.s.sure Ye Li and Xue Sheng.

…

Xue Sheng was still catching up on sleep, so after breakfast, Xue Xi, who had nothing to do, felt very bored for the first time.

She had no choice but to fall for Ye Li’s trap.

Because Ye Li had said that she would prepare all the books she needed for her studies, Xue Xi did not prepare any herself. When they moved, all the books from this house were moved to the capital, causing there to only be a few romance novels on the study bookshelf in this villa in Bin City.

Seeing that Xue Sheng was still not awake, Xue Xi stood up. “I’ll go shopping.”

If she went out to find a library, even if she could not buy a very professional book, she could buy a masters-level English workbook and come back to do the questions. It was better than just sitting there.

Ye Li said, “Alright, go. Xiao Xiang, accompany Xixi.”

“Okay.” Xiang Huai stood up and asked, “If we’re going to the old mansion, do you need me to buy anything?”

Ye Li sighed, but her eyes lit up as she smiled and said, “No need. Your father is probably going to sleep until evening. You guys can have lunch outside before coming back.”

Xue Xi: “…Okay.” She kept feeling that her mother was very happy and excited.

In the end, Xiang Huai chose a small and inconspicuous black BMW from his house in Bin City. He drove and left the Xue residence with Xue Xi.

On the streets of Bin City, Xue Xi looked at the place she had lived in for a year and felt a sense of nostalgia.

However, this road… Why was it open and heading out of Bin City?

“Where are you going?” Xue Xi asked in confusion.

“To a place where it’ll only be the two of us and your parents can’t find us,” Xiang Huai replied casually.

“Huh?” Xue Xi looked at him in surprise.

Xiang Huai turned to look at her and chuckled. “I was just teasing you.”

Xue Xi had just heaved a sigh of relief when she heard Xiang Huai say, “I’ll bring you back to the orphanage.”

Orphanage…

It was indeed time to take a look.

That was the place where she’d lived for eighteen years.

Moreover, when she heard this, the mysterious organization’s words flashed across Xue Xi’s mind. “Don’t you want to know how you were sent to the orphanage?”

At this thought, her eyes turned cold.

In the past, she did not think much of the orphanage, but after being in society for two years, she finally confirmed that other orphanages were not that good.

The place she was in was strange.

Then let’s go take a look and investigate what exactly happened.
