Chapter 173: Chapter 170: The Figures on the Ferris Wheel

"What the president sister said makes sense." Meixia nodded in partial understanding.

In fact, she understood in her heart that after being adopted by Yang Huili and Deng Ge, she was very happy. After all, being adopted among so many children meant she was still outstanding, even if it ended in tragedy.

Adoptive parents will certainly choose the child they are satisfied with when adopting.

"Sister Meixia, I also want to be adopted, but no one seems to notice me. Don’t lose hope, and don’t be discouraged." Da Hu comforted Meixia.

Little Wu hesitated for a moment, apologizing nervously, "Um, Sister Meixia, I’ve complained about you, saying you were with the bad guys. Please don’t take it to heart."

"It’s okay, I also blame myself." Meixia smiled happily.

"All the bad guys have been caught, let’s not be gloomy, let’s be happy." Da Niu laughed innocently.

"Actually, it doesn’t matter whether you get adopted or not." Chu Mengyao said softly, looking at the four of them, "At Yucai School, you will all grow up, with so many brothers and sisters around, you won’t feel lonely."

"That’s right, we have to trust what the president sister says." Da Niu said cheerfully.

"Look, the big brother who caught the bad guys is here." Da Hu shouted excitedly, pointing at Ye Fan.

Ye Fan looked at the beautiful figure surrounded by Da Niu and the others, his heart feeling warm.

"Big brother, you haven’t eaten yet, have you? This is the dinner the president sister asked us to prepare for you." Little Wu said loudly.

"Big brother, you better not say you’ve already eaten. The president sister specially prepared this dinner for you, even if you have eaten, you must finish it." Da Niu stood up and pulled Ye Fan to sit on the lawn.

Looking at the enthusiastic Da Niu and the other kids, Ye Fan said seriously, "I haven’t eaten yet, just in time, I don’t have to be hungry."

Ye Fan and Chu Mengyao exchanged glances for a moment without speaking.

"Big brother, this is the food from our canteen, it’s delicious." Little Wu helped open the box of meat dishes.

Ye Fan had just taken a bite when Da Niu, dissatisfied, pouted and pretended to be angry, "Big brother, you are not a gentleman at all. The president sister left food for you, and you didn’t even say thank you before eating, that’s not right."

Ye Fan glanced at Da Niu and the others, thanked them, and then said in a serious tone, "Thank you."

"Hurry up and eat, I know you haven’t eaten yet." Chu Mengyao smiled, she understood Ye Fan, busy looking for the children, there was no time to eat, so she had prepared in advance.

"Big brother, you’re so good." The four children laughed happily.

"Can I eat now?" Ye Fan waved his chopsticks, asking cautiously.

"Yes, big brother, hurry up and eat, don’t leave any food, make sure you save it and finish it." Meixia instructed from the side.

"I’m afraid it won’t be enough for me, how could I leave any?" Ye Fan replied.

"Da Niu, Da Hu, Meixia, Little Wu, let’s go back and rest. The president is about to leave too, let’s not disturb the reunion of the president and the big brother, okay?" Principal Wei said kindly with a smile.

"Goodbye, president sister, big brother." Da Niu and the other four reluctantly said their farewells.

"Goodbye." Ye Fan and Chu Mengyao waved their hands.

After greeting, Principal Wei led Da Niu and the others away.

Ye Fan continued eating at his usual fast pace, while Chu Mengyao sat with a dazed expression, hugging her knees, as if she was back to the first time she met Ye Fan, the time when she prepared food for him, and his eating manner was just like it is now.

Of course, compared to then, Ye Fan’s eating speed had slowed a lot, but it was still quite fast.

"Why are you staring at me like that, am I eating in an unpleasant manner?" Ye Fan curiously asked.

Chu Mengyao shook her head, a faint blush appearing on her face, not noticeable in the dim light, and she weakly answered in her heart, "It’s nice."

Naturally, she was referring to his eating manner.

"Don’t move." Chu Mengyao raised her voice.

"What’s wrong?" Ye Fan asked in confusion.

Chu Mengyao reached out and wiped a grain of rice sticking to the corner of Ye Fan’s mouth.

Ye Fan felt a ripple in his heart, cherishing the gentleness at his mouth, a sweetness filled his heart, and his gaze toward Mengyao became intriguingly different.

After finishing the meal, Ye Fan said, "It’s getting late, should we head back?"

"I’ve already informed my sister that we would return later tonight, so there’s no rush." Chu Mengyao said with interest.

"Then what should we do now? Just sit here?" Ye Fan inquired.

"Look over there, when I was a child, I loved riding the Ferris wheel, being so high up, seeing far, you could forget all your worries." Chu Mengyao pointed at the Ferris wheel, her eyes shining with an eager glow.

Ye Fan caught the glimmer in Mengyao’s beautiful eyes, quickly looking around, noticing the lights in the amusement park’s operator room were still on and the staff hadn’t rested yet.

"Wait, we’ll take a round on the Ferris wheel." With that, Ye Fan walked towards the operator room.

Chu Mengyao watched Ye Fan’s departing figure, her eyes full of joy.

Actually, this amusement park should have closed a long time ago, but Chu Mengyao had brought Da Niu and the others to play for a while, thus delaying till now.

After giving instructions to the staff, Ye Fan returned and boarded the Ferris wheel with Mengyao.

When their figures reached the topmost point, the Ferris wheel came to a halt.

The night breeze was gently cool as it blew past.

Ye Fan turned his head to glance at Mengyao, right at the moment when Mengyao also looked over.

Four eyes met, silent and speechless.

After exchanging glances for a few seconds, Chu Mengyao, blushing shyly, turned her face away.

A slightly awkward Ye Fan retracted his gaze and looked out at the brightly lit city.

"Do you know why my grandfather founded this Yucai School?" Chu Mengyao began a topic, breaking the silence.

"Why?" Ye Fan inquired knowingly; in fact, he’d had this question for a while. From an orphanage to the Yucai School, even spending heavily to build a special amusement park for the children, it offered tremendous help to the kids.

"Because my grandfather was an orphan. After retiring from the army, he founded the Chu Group. Once the company had grown to a certain size, he established Yucai School. He didn’t hold the president position long before passing it to my father. After I interned at the company for three years and became familiar with everything, I took over the company." Chu Mengyao explained slowly, "The company fervently supports the funding for Yucai School, and it never accepts any donations from others with a profit motive to prevent contamination from other factors."

Ye Fan listened quietly and then asked, "I’ve never heard you talk about your grandfather’s story. Is he still around?"

"Yes, he seems to be working with some secret department. After stepping down from the company president position, he returned to his old line of work." Chu Mengyao explained.

She wasn’t clear about exactly what work her grandfather was involved in.

Xu Hu, like a passerby extra, silently performed his bodyguard duties outside the villa because he firmly believed that Chu Mengyao’s grandfather would eventually drive Ye Fan away and intended to match him with Chu Mengyao. Therefore, he had been enduring all along.
