Chapter 177 I hope you are doing well
After spending several days together, the relationship between Lanxi and Wan'er became deeper and deeper, just like real sisters. However, time was tight and the trip could not be delayed. So, Xiao Chuhan quickly found a suitable family with his own connections. The couple ran some small businesses and had been married for more than ten years, but they had no children. After visiting famous doctors without success, they came up with the idea of adopting a child. Unfortunately, they never met a child that they were satisfied with and got along with.
When they heard about Wan'er's background, they felt that she was the ideal candidate in their minds, so they hoped to meet her.
Xiao Chuhan told Lan Xi the general situation of the couple.
"Xi'er, you and Wan'er need to accompany me to that family today. Firstly, you can let the other party meet Wan'er, and secondly, you can let Wan'er see if this family is suitable."
"Besides, Xier, you'd better observe the situation yourself before making a decision."
Lan Xi listened to what Xiao Chuhan said. She thought it would take some time to find a family to adopt Wan'er, but she didn't expect that this day would come so soon. Although Lan Xi was deeply attached to Wan'er, if Wan'er could really find a home that treated her well, she would have to learn to let go even if her heart was broken.
Lan Xi walked into the house and saw Wan'er sitting alone in front of the window, looking into the distance in a trance, as if she was lost in thought. Lan Xi walked lightly to Wan'er's side. Wan'er noticed Lan Xi's arrival and a happy smile instantly bloomed on her face: "Sister Xi'er, you are here!"
Seeing this, Lan Xi raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a gentle smile, and asked softly: "Wan'er, what are you thinking about?"
Wan'er came back to her senses and replied with a smile: "Sister Xier, I just think the scenery outside the window is so beautiful! I can't help but want to look at it for a while longer."
Lan Xi walked over to Wan'er and sat down. She took Wan'er's hand and said earnestly, "Wan'er, I have something to tell you."
"Sister Xier, you speak, Waner listens."
"I know you don't want to go back to your old home, so I asked you to help me find a new family. This family is kind and friendly, but they don't have their own children and are eager to adopt a child. I have told them about your situation and they think you are a perfect match. Are you willing to go with me and you to visit that family?"
Wan'er was smart and understood Lan Xi's meaning immediately. Wan'er nodded and expressed her willingness to go. Because she knew that Lan Xi and Xiao Chuhan cared about her and would definitely find a warm and happy family for her. Moreover, Wan'er herself was a well-behaved and sensible child, and she did not have much resistance to such an arrangement.
Lan Xi looked at the sensible Wan'er in front of her, and couldn't help but feel a trace of sadness and pity in her heart. Although she didn't know what Wan'er had experienced in the past, from the fact that Wan'er was so young but so mature and sensible, she could imagine how much suffering and grievances Wan'er had endured.
Lan Xi stroked Wan'er's hair lovingly and said, "Wan'er, if you don't like them after seeing them today, you must tell me. I will help you find a more suitable family, okay?"
Wan'er nodded vigorously, with a determined light in her eyes, indicating that she understood her sister's good intentions.
Lan Xi carefully led Wan'er downstairs, and at this time, Xiao Chuhan had been waiting anxiously downstairs for a long time. When he saw Lan Xi bringing Wan'er downstairs smoothly, his heart, which had been hanging in the air, finally settled down like a heavy burden.
Then, the three of them boarded the carriage together. Along the way, Lan Xi held Wan'er's hand tightly, as if she was afraid that she would suddenly disappear. Wan'er looked at Lan Xi with a smile and asked softly, "Sister Xi'er, why do I feel that you seem to be more nervous than me?" As soon as the words fell, Xiao Chuhan couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Obviously, not only Xiao Chuhan noticed Lan Xi's inner uneasiness, but even the innocent Wan'er also keenly caught this point. This shows how uneasy Lan Xi is at the moment.
Facing Xiao Chuhan's smile, Lan Xi couldn't help but said, "What are you laughing at? I... I'm not nervous!"
However, Lan Xi's argument seemed a little weak because she couldn't even convince herself.
Looking at the bright smiles on Xiao Chuhan and Wan'er's faces, Lan Xi's originally tense nerves gradually relaxed. Not long after, they arrived at their destination. As soon as they got off the carriage, a couple immediately came forward to greet them.
"You're finally here. Come in and rest for a while." The middle-aged man greeted warmly.
It turned out that the couple was Mr. Li and Mrs. Li. Xiao Chuhan greeted them politely, "Mr. Li, Mrs. Li, sorry to bother you."
Since the couple did not know Xiao Chuhan's true identity, they only knew that he was an official in the State of Chu. Mrs. Li's eyes immediately fell on Wan'er beside Lan Xi. She walked up to Wan'er, stroked her hair lovingly, and asked softly, "This must be Miss Wan'er, right?"
Wan'er nodded at Madam Li. Madam Li looked at Wan'er's pretty and charming appearance, feeling very happy. She liked Wan'er more and more.
