Xia Wenxi entered the house carrying a cat carrier in one hand and a cake in the other. As soon as she entered, Xia Wensheng jumped in front of her.

You scared me to death!

Xia Wenming feigned ignorance and asked, "Didn't you go to pick up Xiaoyuer? What's with this cake?"

Xia Wenxi said irritably, "Found it on the road, are you satisfied now?"

Perhaps woken up by the two people, Xia Wenxi heard Xiaoyuer meow twice from the cat carrier, so she quickly put down the cat carrier and let it out.

Xia Wensheng, that childish brat, squatted down as soon as he saw Xiaoyuer and said to it, "You're the Xia family's cat, your surname is Xia, not Lin, you know that?"

Xia Wenxi ignored him, took the cake to the kitchen, sent a message in the family group asking her parents if they wanted some cake, then washed her hands and cut the cake.

"Mom and Dad, why don't you ask her where the cake came from?"

Even eating couldn't shut Xia Wensheng up. Sure enough, after he finished speaking, Xia Hengyuan and Ke Shurong looked at Xia Wenxi. Although they didn't ask, they both seemed very curious.

"It was a gift from a friend, the same friend who took Xiaoyuer out to play today."

No sooner had Xia Wenxi finished speaking than Xia Wensheng spoke up again.

"Mom and Dad, you must be wondering who this friend is."

"Xia Wensheng!"

Xia Wenxi took a big bite of the cake, wishing she could chew the cake in her mouth as if it were Xia Wensheng.

Upon hearing this, Ke Shurong immediately said, "This is Xiaobao's privacy, and we don't really want to know, right, Lao Xia?"

"Yes, yes, Xiao Bao is an adult now. He can say what he wants to say and not say what he doesn't want to say."

That's what they said, but judging from the constant exchange of glances between them, they really wanted to know.

Xia Wenxi felt that this was nothing to hide, so she said it directly, "You know Mom and Dad, it's Lin Shen."

Before Xia Hengyuan could figure it out, Ke Shurong had already realized what was going on.

"So he's trying to pursue you, right, Xiaobao? I could tell when he took your picture at your graduation ceremony!"

Xia Wenxi smiled awkwardly, not expecting her mother to be so perceptive.

"What?! Didn't you say that photo was fake before? So that kid surnamed Lin really did have bad intentions and wanted to pursue you?"

Xia Hengyuan was slapped by his wife as soon as he finished speaking. "What are you doing? Isn't it normal for our daughter to be pursued by someone so beautiful and cute? Besides, she hasn't won him over yet, has she, Xiaobao?"

While Xia Hengyuan and Ke Shurong were talking, Xia Wenxi had already glared at Xia Wensheng several times.

Ignoring her glare, Xia said to Ke Shurong, "Mom, don't worry, we haven't caught up yet. If we had, we would have come to your door with gifts instead of delivering cakes outside."

"Ahem, Xiao Bao is all grown up now. It's up to Xiao Bao to decide what to do with his relationship. Whatever decision you make, your father and I will support you."

Xia Wenxi was still embarrassed to talk about this with her parents, and nodded with a blush to indicate that she understood.

However, Xia Hengyuan still said unhappily, "That Lin Shen... is a capable young man, but his father doesn't seem easy to get along with."

Fan City is only so big, so Xia Hengyuan naturally knew Lin Shen's father, Lin Shuyu, and they had quite a few interactions in the past.

After finishing her cake, Xia Wenxi quickly made an excuse to go upstairs. Nothing was wrong yet; discussing this now seemed a bit premature…

Perhaps because of what happened during the day, Xia Wenxi dreamed of Lin Shen while sleeping that night!

After waking up and recalling her dream from last night, Xia Wenxi rolled around in bed three times while hugging her blanket before getting up. When she checked her phone, it was already past eight o'clock, and she hadn't even heard her alarm go off!

"Xia Wenxi, male beauty is a disservice!"

I quickly rolled over and jumped out of bed, no longer in the mood to think about my dream.

At nine o'clock in the morning, Xia Wenxi saw her parents off at the door. Ke Shurong naturally hugged her daughter and kept telling her to eat well and sleep well. However, after saying that, she thought of what her son had said to them before and was afraid that her daughter would think she was talking too much.

Xia Wenxi hugged her parents and comforted them, "Don't worry, I will take good care of myself. If you don't believe me, just ask Aunt Li. Aunt Li cooks so well, I will definitely eat on time."

After seeing her parents off, Xia Wenxi had no plans to study in the self-study room today, but had another place to go.

She had previously contacted the staff of the orphanage where her parents adopted her, saying that she also came from that orphanage and wanted to donate some things and also wanted to go back to visit. The staff readily agreed.

She specially bought a batch of toys, books, and stationery to send over today, and also plans to donate a sum of money in the name of Hengyuan Group.

About an hour later, Xia Wenxi arrived at the orphanage called "Hemiao Home".

After contacting the staff member on her phone, the staff member quickly came to the door to pick her up.

"Miss Xia, is that right? Welcome to Hemiao Home, please come in."

The staff member looked to be in his thirties, wearing a yellow short-sleeved shirt with the name "Hemiao Home" printed on it. He had a round face and a friendly smile.

"Thank you, Ms. Xia, for the gifts you brought for the children."

After she finished speaking, she made a phone call, presumably to call someone to help move her things. Soon, three young men wearing red vests arrived.

Xia Wenxi recognized one of them; the boy's eyes lit up when he saw Xia Wenxi.

"These are all students from Panyu University who came here to volunteer."

Hearing the staff member's words, Xia Wenxi remembered—wasn't this the boy who asked for her WeChat at school?

The staff also suggested that Xia Wenxi could go and distribute the gifts to the children, but Xia Wenxi waved her hand and refused, as she is not very good at interacting with children.

However, I still agreed to go and take a look together.

There must be some kind of volunteer activity today. On the small playground, there were quite a few boys and girls wearing red vests playing games with the children.

She had asked the staff in advance, so she prepared different items for children of different ages, and everyone received something.

However, the number of children at Hemiao Home was not large to begin with; there were only a little over a hundred children of all ages combined.

“Now that living conditions have improved, there are fewer abandoned children, and fewer children come to Hemiao Home every year.”

Looking at the children's smiling faces, Xia Wenxi felt happy too.

"This is a good thing."

"Yes, it's a good thing."

"What are you looking at, Haozi?"

"Look at my goddess... She truly lives up to her name, beautiful inside and out."

"Your goddess? She's the young lady of Hengyuan. Don't even dream about it."

Lu Hao looked dejected. "If I had known, I would have applied to Hengyuan for my summer internship. Maybe I could have even met my goddess!"

He didn't recognize her at first when she was at school; he only found out later when he saw her on Weibo.

"You said last time that President Lin was your idol, which is why you invested in Lin's Group. Now that you've met your goddess, you don't care about your idol anymore?"
