Chapter 1024 - Chapter 1024 Chapter 1024 A Child Strikingly Similar to Xu

Chapter 1024: Chapter 1024: A Child Strikingly Similar to Xu Chaomu Chapter 1024: Chapter 1024: A Child Strikingly Similar to Xu Chaomu It was perfect timing, he finally freed up some time and could now make a trip to the welfare home and the orphanage.

At this moment, Chaomu sent him a text message.

“Wealth’s leg is better now, he can jump.” The message was followed by a very happy smiley face emoji.

Xiao Mo saw it and smiled too, replying immediately, “That’s great, I hope he can be like before.”

“Of course, my Wealth is very strong.”

“Mm, just like you,” Xiao Mo said.

Chaomu on the other end laughed. Like her, right? Probably… She had been toughened up by Shen Chi since she was a child; if she weren’t strong, could she live so happily?

Chaomu sent another text message back to Xiao Mo, “I really am very thankful to you.”

Xiao Mo helplessly shook his head and smiled, “I shouldn’t have gotten on your ‘pirate ship’; these sorts of things should have been done by President Shen.”

“Don’t tell him,” Chaomu replied.

“Got it.”

Chaomu smiled. She knew Xiao Mo was a man of his word; if he promised her something, he would definitely do it seriously.

Chaomu sent him a very happy “smiley face” emoji, and Xiao Mo’s eyes curved into a smile.

Looking at the text on his phone, it was as if Chaomu was right beside him.

Whenever he thought of anything related to her, he always felt as if basked in sunlight, filled with the freshness of spring.

Just then, a call came in; it was one of his subordinates.

“Hello,” Xiao Mo answered.

“Secretary Xiao, I’ve visited the welfare homes and orphanages here in C City and selected a few pretty smart kids. Do you want to come take a look?”

“Sure, fax the information to me first.”

“Will do.”

Soon, several faxes came through.

Xiao Mo looked through them one by one, each file even included a photo of the child. He was quite free recently and was planning to take care of this matter.

Wealth was healing well, and Chaomu was very happy; if he could bring a child to her, she would probably be even happier.

Thinking of this, Xiao Mo reviewed the documents in his hands even more earnestly.

There were fewer boys, mostly girls.

Because Chaomu mentioned she wanted someone lively and cute, smart, and with no recollection of their past, so his subordinate showed him files with children mostly between the ages of 2 to 4.

The children in the photos indeed all looked good, the boys handsome, the girls beautiful, but above all else, they were adorable.

Looking at these photos, tenderness rose in Xiao Mo’s heart.

Most of these children were either orphans or had completely unknown origins, this way, there wouldn’t be any disputes.

Xiao Mo knew just looking at files was no use; he needed to visit the welfare homes to understand the situation.

He had no experience in raising children, only by meeting the kids could he be sure whether he could adopt or not. Adopting a smarter child, could later save Chaomu a lot of trouble.

He quite fancied the idea of adopting a boy for Chaomu, after all, when a boy grew up, he could protect her a bit, a girl would make Chaomu worry.

Xiao Mo chuckled, thinking how far ahead he was planning.

Deep down, he still hoped that Shen Chi and Chaomu could end up together.

After looking through the documents, Xiao Mo casually clipped them with the rest of the papers on his desk, then made another call to his subordinate.

“Hello, arrange a trip for me to ‘Hope Welfare Institution’ after work.”

“Sure, Secretary Xiao, I’ll wait for you at the welfare home.”

“Okay.”

…

After work, Xiao Mo left without heading home and went straight to the garage.

The Group’s matters didn’t require much of his attention lately, and Bai Man’s affairs were something Shen Chi didn’t want him to intervene in. Fine, he was quite happy to enjoy the freedom.

He took his car and drove directly to the welfare institution.

The Hope Welfare Institution was close to the Group, and its facilities were quite impressive. Without any experience in doing this sort of thing, he decided to start by visiting this one.

It was just the time of sunset when he left work, and he couldn’t remember when he had last left work on time.

When he hit a red light, he lowered the car window, propping one arm upon it, gazing straight ahead.

The setting sun’s rays hit his car glass just right, refracting one splendid beam of light after another, casting a yellow haze over his face.

In this haze, his features became even more defined and handsome.

As soon as the light turned green, he stepped on the accelerator and drove forward.

It was only a half-hour drive from the Group to the welfare institution, and when he arrived, the sun had not yet completely set.

The welfare institution had been renovated, with everything looking brand new and the walls painted in very bright colors. One could feel a vibrant liveliness upon entering.

As Xiao Mo arrived at the door, his subordinate came forward to meet him.

“Secretary Xiao, you’re here. I’ll take you around.”

“Okay.”

Xiao Mo followed him through the welfare institution, where the sounds of cheer and laughter filled the air. Many children had just finished class and were running around, playing games.

Due to the nature of his work, Xiao Mo seldom came into contact with children. When he found himself in such an environment, many of his worries and displeasures were instantly cast aside.

One child stared at him wide-eyed and even flashed a smile at him.

Seeing the child, Xiao Mo couldn’t help but smile himself.

“Secretary Xiao, look at that child. He’s one of the ones I sent you by fax,” the subordinate pointed to a little boy not far away.

Xiao Mo looked up and saw the child, about three years old, able to walk and play games. Right now, he was squatting alone on the ground, drawing with chalk.

He was quite tall for his age and looked adorable.

“Secretary Xiao, look at that child over there, she’s also very good, very obedient,” the subordinate pointed to a little girl on a swing, sitting quietly by herself.

“I really want to find one that looks a lot like you,” Xiao Mo sighed.

“Secretary Xiao, what did you say?”

“Nothing,” Xiao Mo shook his head.

He continued walking, observing the children. Although they were all healthy and lively, and their ages varied, none seemed to spark much of an interest in adoption in him.

He especially wanted to find a child who bore a resemblance to Xu Chaomu, even if it was just in appearance.

But after looking around, he couldn’t find one.

Perhaps Xu Chaomu was just too unique. Even a child with a character even slightly like Xu Chaomu’s would have been nice, but unfortunately… there were none.

In his imagination… Xu Chaomu must have been a very naughty child, reportedly capable of fighting and climbing walls with no trouble at all.

These children didn’t have much in common with Xu Chaomu.

“Secretary Xiao, Secretary Xiao,” noticing Xiao Mo had become slightly lost in thought, the subordinate said, “Let’s go to the backyard and see. There are kids having dinner there.”

“Hmm.”

This was the first time Xiao Mo was doing something like this. He lacked experience and didn’t even know how to interact with the children.

So he followed his subordinate to the backyard, indeed, there were many children having dinner there.

“Secretary Xiao, there are many more children. If you’re not satisfied with any of them, or if you have any other criteria, just tell me,” the subordinate said.
