After waiting in the dean's office for a short while, a staff member knocked on the door and came in, holding a little girl's hand.
Shu Yuqing carefully examined the little girl. She was wearing an ordinary pink dress, had two braids in her hair, and a fair face. She was looking at Shu Yuqing with a wary gaze.
The staff member released the girl's hand and gently nudged her back, signaling her to come forward and say hello.
The little girl hesitated before stepping forward, whispering "Hello, Auntie," then lowered her head to look at the ground and didn't say anything more.
Her staff looked at her with disappointment and gave her another nudge on the back. But the little girl kept her head down and refused to say another word.
Shu Yuqing walked up to the girl, squatted down, looked her in the eye, and patiently said, "Your name is Mingyue, right? That's a beautiful name."
These words seemed to trigger something in the girl; her eyes quickly filled with tears, and she sniffed and whispered, "This is the name my father gave me."
With a kind smile, Shu Yuqing said to her, "Auntie only has one brother and wants a daughter. Would you like to be Auntie's daughter?"
The little girl suddenly looked up at Shu Yuqing in disbelief and asked timidly, "Would Auntie like Mingyue?"
"Of course I will. Once I bring you home, you'll be my daughter, and I'll definitely treat my daughter well."
Shu Yuqing gently comforted her unease.
The little girl bit her lip and didn't speak. Shu Yuqing gently stroked her head and said, "From now on, you are my daughter. Mom will take you home."
As soon as she finished speaking, the staff and the hospital director smiled. They hadn't expected Shu Yuqing to choose a child so quickly.
The dean happily invited Shu Yuqing to go with her to complete the formalities. Shu Yuqing touched the girl's cute face and told her to go say goodbye to her friends.
Having spent two years in the orphanage and witnessed many others being adopted, Wang Mingyue knew that she would leave like the other children.
She nodded and walked outside to say goodbye to her friends.
After completing the formalities, Shu Yuqing left the welfare home with her new daughter.
Before arriving home, Shu Yuqing took her child to the mall and bought her a lot of clothes and toys. Only then did she happily hold her daughter's little hand and go home.
When she got home, she saw Jiang Xin sitting on the sofa watching TV. As soon as she saw Shu Yuqing, she hurriedly stood up and called out nervously, "Mom."
Shu Yuqing responded and continued to lead Mingyue by the hand toward the master bedroom.
First, put Mingyue's things in the master bedroom, then take her to visit each room one by one, asking her which one she likes.
Wang Mingyue was a little shy and timid, and stammered for a long time without being able to say which room she preferred.
Shu Yuqing pressed down on her shoulders: "Lift your head and look at me. You are your mother's daughter. You can tell me what you like and dislike."
If you don't say anything, how will Mom know your preferences? Mingyue, the first thing you need to learn is to bravely express your wishes.
After saying that, Shu Yuqing looked at her with encouraging eyes. Mingyue did not disappoint her and pointed to a room, saying to her, "Mom, I like this room."
“Good, you did very well. My daughter, Shu Yuqing’s daughter, cannot be a coward.”
Shu Yuqing's eyes were filled with satisfaction.
Shu Yuqing led Mingyue into the room, asked about her preferences, and then ordered a set of off-white furniture and green curtains, matching Mingyue's favorite color.
After doing all that, Shu Yuqing took the child to bathe and dried her hair. She then soothed the girl for a while, and the girl fell asleep quietly in the master bedroom.
When Ye Boxian returned home, he learned that his wife had brought the adopted girl home. He was filled with doubt and couldn't understand why his wife was in such a hurry to adopt another daughter.
Looking at the sleeping moon, Shu Yuqing gestured for her husband to go outside to talk.
Shu Yuqing and her husband entered an empty room. Shu Yuqing closed the door, put on a serious expression, stared intently at her husband, and slowly said, "No matter what I say from now on, you must believe what I say."
Seeing her solemn expression, Ye Boxian was somewhat puzzled, but still replied with an "okay".
