"Sister Bing Xia, you came." Bing Xia was still standing beside the car in a daze. A little boy ran towards her with a smile on his face.

"Xiao Qi, how did you know I was coming?" Bing Xia squatted down. He was a boy in a blue sportswear with dirt on his face still not washed clean. A pair of bright big eyes looked at her. His skinny body made the boy look weaker than his peers.

"Sister, I just saw you when I dug up the sweet potato, so I ran all the way down the mountain. We had a big harvest this year, you came at the right time." As Xiao Qi spoke, she glanced at Huan Gufeng behind Bing Xia, who was busy carrying his stuff, but her face revealed an unintentional hostility.

"Oh, right. Is the dean in?" Bing Xia looked at Huan Gufeng's back and asked Xiao Qi.

"Principal's aunt was called away by the Village Chief. She said she had something to do." Xiao Qi's eyes were filled with sadness, but a smile still hung on her face.

Xiao Qi walked into the yard holding Bing Xia's hand, Huan Gufeng also walked in carrying the stuff.

The yard was very big, and there were quite a lot of vegetables in the open space. Knowing that Bing Xia had come, a lot of kids came out of the house, but many of them looked sickly, pale, and staggered along. Many of them were very young, about four or five years old, and two middle-aged aunts also came out.

Huan Gufeng moved the items into the house one by one. The two middle-aged aunts kept staring at him and whispered to him while pulling Bing Xia along. This made her blush immediately, making her feel embarrassed.

However, Xiao Qi beside Bing Xia had an unhappy expression as she looked at Huan Gufeng with a pair of hateful eyes.

Finally, Huan Gufeng, who was sweating profusely, finished carrying all the stuff that he brought, which also made the group of children jump up and down in joy. They looked at the wall that was filled with delicious food and drink, with desire in their eyes.

Huan Gufeng looked at them and didn't expect Bing Xia to bring him to this place. He felt a different state of mind and was shocked for the first time. He had always thought that people ate well and dressed well.

"How is it? Dai Wei, are you surprised? " Bing Xia asked softly as he looked at Huan Gufeng's eyes, which never left the child.

"Yes, I'm a bit surprised, but why do these children live here, where are their parents?" Huan Gufeng took the water from Bing Xia and asked in confusion.

Bing Xia didn't say anything and directly walked out of the room. He walked to the opposite mountain and looked at it in the yard, then stood there quietly. Huan Gufeng didn't know what happened.

They were all abandoned children by their parents. Some of them had congenital heart disease, and some of them were directly thrown away when they were born because of mental problems. Some of them were thrown away when they were born because they were girls, and this is a orphanage where the dean was the aunt of a classmate of mine. Bing Xia said indifferently. In fact, his eyes were moist. She was brought home by the Ice Mountain when she was 5 years old. If not for that, she might have grown up here.

Even though she was Second Miss from the Bing Jia, she did not receive the same treatment as Leng Ning due to her illegitimate daughter.

She had been working as a volunteer since college. Three years ago, when she knew that this orphanage was short of staff, she came to help.

"Oh." Huan Gufeng took a sip of water and acknowledged them lightly, but his heart was mixed with complicated feelings. Ever since his mother passed away at the age of 10, he had closed himself off and did not communicate with others. He had never had any close friends since he was young.

Fortunately, his family had money, so he didn't allow himself to live such a life.

Just as the two of them were talking, a calm looking woman walked into the courtyard. She seemed to be in her forties, but wrinkles had appeared on her face too early. "Xia, you're here."

The familiar voice made Bing Xia turn his head and see who it was. She wiped away the tears at the corner of her eyes and smiled as she walked towards the woman. She affectionately took her arm, "Auntie Liu, what's wrong?"

The dean also saw Huan Gufeng and sized him up. He looked at Bing Xia and whispered something in her ear, making Bing Xia blush again. Bing Xia turned around and looked at Huan Gufeng, but there was a profound ambiguity in his eyes.

Huan Gufeng followed the two into the house.

"Xia, why don't you introduce us?" The dean's clear voice asked. It didn't match her age, so it was especially pleasant to hear.

"Hello President, my name is Huan Gufeng, I'm Bing Xia's friend." Huan Gufeng stretched out his hand and politely introduced himself. When he saw Bing Xia's shy expression again, he couldn't help but want to laugh.

"Mr. Huan is the boyfriend of our Xia. He's so handsome. It's the first time she's brought a man here. We're too simple and crude. You must be joking." The dean looked at Huan Gufeng approvingly. As he looked at Huan Gufeng's tall and handsome figure, his eyes were filled with envy.

Bing Xia pulled on the dean's arm in embarrassment, signaling her not to talk anymore. She started to regret bringing Huan Gufeng here. Everyone was tentatively asking her if Huan Gufeng was her boyfriend.

He could tell his father about the engagement early in the morning, but he hadn't told Bing Xia about it yet. As far as Bing Xia was concerned, she didn't know that the man in front of her had already chosen her as a wife.

Huan Gufeng only smiled. This was the second time he saw him smile. The smile drew a charming curve on his well-defined face. His thin lips were slightly raised with charm.

"Principal, Xiao Qi said that you were called away by the Village Chief. Did something happen?" Bing Xia wanted to shift his gaze away. She was afraid that she would be unable to extricate herself from this man's smile.

The abbot sighed softly. "Yes, the village chief said that a company has taken a fancy to this area and wants to develop it into a resort, and our orphanage is also included in this area. In such a short period of time, where can I find a suitable place for my children?

The dean's words surprised Huan Gufeng. He had just had such a thought and someone had already gotten to it. Who could it be? She had the same look in her eyes as him.

"Principal, did the Village Head tell you which company it was?" Huan Gufeng asked anxiously. He didn't want other companies to snatch such a good opportunity away from him.
