Chapter 373 A Glimmer of Hope



She did hope that Qin Mi could meet a woman he liked soon, so that their fake marriage could be dissolved. After all, Qin Mi was no longer her mission target, and they would never have the chance to meet again in the future.

If their relationship isn't dissolved, Qin Mi won't be able to marry the person she likes in the future. Surely she can't let the other person become a 'mistress'?

How innocent is the other party!

Looking at the confident and poised Wen Xi in front of her, Xu Yinmei thought to herself, if she were a man, even if they lived apart and rarely saw each other, she would never look for other women outside with such a wife!

He is good-looking, generous, and capable. He brought so much food, which greatly helped the orphanage and saved so many children.

How many women in this world can compare to her?

There are plenty of rich young ladies and gentlemen in the city, but how many have gone to such lengths as Wen Xi? Delivering supplies and personally taking care of the children—most people would probably find the children annoying.

The new children who arrived these past two days felt a bit strange and uneasy because they couldn't smell or hear familiar sounds, but they eventually got too sleepy and closed their eyes to rest.

Xu Yinhua let the children sleep on one bed and made room for Wenxi. Wenxi hung a railing on the bed with cloth, and now she had her own little place where no one could see her when she slept or did anything.

Apart from the baby crying, nothing else happened.

Xu Yinhua and Fang Zhiruo are busy during the day, so Wenxi wanted to share the workload more at night so they could rest a little longer. What would happen to the children if they overworked themselves?

Wen Xi lay on the small bed, then slipped into the system kitchen. This time, she stewed a large pot of winter melon and pork rib soup. After that, she took a shower, washed her hair, tidied herself up, applied skincare products, and then returned to bed to rest.

The next morning, Wenxi got up early and served winter melon and pork rib soup to all the children. Because the children were still small, Wenxi cut the winter melon into pieces that were easy for them to eat, and she also removed the meat from the pork ribs, as the children's teeth were too small to easily gnaw on large bones.

With Wenxi here, the children are very happy. They have candy to eat, can fill their stomachs, and can wear new clothes and shoes. It feels like every day is New Year's Day.

Perhaps this will become one of the most memorable experiences of their lives!

After having breakfast at the orphanage, Wenxi left and wandered aimlessly along the road. Since she didn't need money, she didn't need to go to the black market to earn it.

She doesn't lack old things anymore, and she doesn't want anything else, so she really doesn't know what to do.

After thinking it over, Wenxi went to the black market. She didn't lack money or old items, but everyone was short of food. Since she happened to have some, she decided to use it to alleviate the pressure of food shortages.

Wenxi took out 10,000 catties each of pumpkin, winter melon, radish, and cabbage, 1,000 catties each of apple and pear, and about 500 catties each of fish and river shrimp. Wenxi, who was not short of money, asked for 10,000 yuan and a bunch of receipts. He also asked for all sorts of old items.

After completing the transaction, Wen Xi found a secluded corner and waited for the effects of the 'Rejuvenating Pill' to wear off before emerging. Afterward, Wen Xi went to the department store.

Food is scarce and food is hard to buy, so other items shouldn't be hard to buy, right?

However, Wenxi first went to the watch counter on the second floor to look at watches. She wanted to buy Omega and Rolex watches that she could collect. At this time, Omega watches were priced at around three to five hundred, Rolex watches were priced at around seven to eight hundred, and the most expensive ones were over a thousand.

However, such top-tier luxury items are only available in a few cities, and even if department stores have them, they only have a few pieces, not many.

Since they happened to have them here and didn't require tickets, Wenxi simply bought all the Omega watches. She knew that Shen Jiaojiao, Jiang Yue, and Lin Yiwan would eventually get married, and as a friend, she felt bad giving them ordinary watches. These watches were just right.

After a while, Wenxi came over again disguised as a man and bought several Rolex watches. His second brother and two younger brothers were getting married, so he would give them Rolex watches as gifts. He would keep the rest for himself.

Even so, it still caused a sensation. The entire department store knew that a wealthy man and woman had come today and bought up all the expensive imported watches.

The tickets given out on the black market were rather disorganized. After Wenxi used up all the tickets she had, she ended up with a whole bunch of things, including towels, toothbrushes, thermos flasks, iron pots, Moutai liquor, and cloth.

Wenxi herself had many of these things and didn't need them, so she took them back and donated them to the orphanage. These things would be quite useful to the orphanage.

That evening, Wen Xi had just come out of the system kitchen and lay down when she heard a knock on the door. Puzzled, she picked up a flashlight and went out to check.

Seeing a tall figure standing outside the iron gate, Wenxi was somewhat surprised. She tentatively moved the flashlight beam slowly upwards, and when she saw a familiar face, she quickly shone the flashlight elsewhere.

Coming to her senses, Wenxi opened the courtyard gate. "Qin Mi, what are you doing here? Weren't you...?"

"Liangliang, you're back?" Qin Mi strode in, excitedly grabbing Wenxi's hand. "My family called me, asking why I came back alone. That's when I found out you were back. Liangliang, why didn't you contact me after you came back?"

Wen Xi awkwardly withdrew her hand. "What's the point of me contacting you? I don't know when I'll be leaving. By the time you rush back, I might already be gone."

"Qin Mi, didn't you tell your family about my leaving here?" Wen Xi asked curiously.

The Qin family assumed she had returned from Qin Mi's place, meaning they were unaware that she had left.

Qin Mi shook his head. "I planned to tell them when they hadn't seen you and asked about you, but I didn't expect you to come back after several months."

A glimmer of hope rose in Qin Mi's eyes. If he could see Liangliang a second time, could he see her a third or fourth time?

Even countless times...

Seeing Qin Mi's travel-worn appearance, Wen Xi asked curiously, "I remember the train doesn't arrive at night! Did you come straight here after getting off the train?"

"Trains are often delayed for a long time when they need to change locomotives; train delays are normal," Qin Mi explained.
