Quick Wear: The Sickly Boss Is Addicted to Spoiling Me

Shen Xi opened his mouth, but before he could say anything, the dean could no longer hold back.

This orphanage is struggling to survive in this precarious situation, and its capital chain is on the verge of breaking. If this continues, it may not survive past the next month.

The director knew that this might be a turning point for Shen Xi and also an opportunity for the orphanage to reduce some of its burden.

Sending one child away means one less person suffering.

The dean had a smile on his face, but his eyes could not hide his anxiety and expectation. He walked forward quickly, stretched out his calloused hand, grabbed Shen Xi's arm, and pulled him in front of Gu Jinyan.

His movements were a little hasty, and even Shen Xi staggered.

"Since you are a friend of Xixi's father, let him take him away." There was an unquestionable decisiveness in the dean's tone.

He always had an inexplicable trust in Gu Jinyan, not only because he was dressed luxuriously, but also because when Gu Jinyan looked at Shen Xi, the dean saw the undisguised concern in his eyes clearly.

In the dean's opinion, Gu Jinyan is reliable and trustworthy, and he doesn't seem like someone who would lie.

"Are you... telling the truth?"

"of course."

When Gu Jinyan saw that he finally spoke, the worry on his face slowly faded. However, Shen Xi's next sentence made him at a loss as to how to respond.

"If what you said is true, why doesn't my father come to see me?"

In the original owner Shen Xi's cognition, his parents only left him temporarily, and he never thought that he would never see them again.

When he was first sent to this orphanage, he was only six years old, and his young mind was unable to understand the heavy meaning of death.

In his little world, his parents were just going on a long trip and would come back to pick him up one day.

Every day, Shen Xi stayed in the slightly shabby room in the orphanage, silent.

While other children were laughing and playing, he always sat alone in the corner, his eyes fixed on the gate of the orphanage, hoping that his parents would suddenly appear and take him home.

When the first rays of sunlight shine down in the morning, he will get up early and stand at the door looking out; when the sun sets in the evening, the afterglow will stretch his shadow long, but he is still waiting.

However, as the days passed, there was still no news from his parents. The light of hope that had once shone in his eyes gradually dimmed during the long wait.

The eyes that were once full of expectation became increasingly empty and confused, but there was still a faint obsession in his heart that supported him to look forward to it day after day.

After a long time, Gu Jinyan opened his mouth, but he couldn't say the cruel truth.

Looking at Shen Xi's eyes that were full of expectation and a little fear, he really couldn't bear to shatter his last hope.

After hesitating for a long time, Gu Jinyan slowly said, "He and your mother have something to do abroad, so they asked me to pick you up."

As he spoke, he carefully took out a photo from his pocket. It was a photo of him and Shen Xi's father many years ago. The photo was a little yellowed, but it was well preserved by Gu Jinyan.

"I am really your father's friend. If you don't believe me, just watch."

Gu Jinyan handed the photo to Shen Xi, his voice soft and soothing.

Shen Xi stared at the photo in a daze, as if time had frozen. His eyes were fixed on his father's familiar yet somewhat unfamiliar face in the photo, and his eyes instantly became moist.

He slowly raised his hand, as if he wanted to touch his father through the photo, but his fingers began to tremble violently and uncontrollably.

Gu Jinyan looked at him with some heartache, his heart filled with worry.

'What if I told him the truth?'

Shen Xi took a step forward and took the initiative to hug Gu Jinyan.

She buried her head in his neck, her voice choked: "Uncle, please take me away."
