Chapter 2055: 2055

The words sounded familiar .

She vaguely recalled hearing his voice many times before when she was in a deep sleep .

Little Moon laughed happily after finishing his sentence .

He took a bite of the bun in his hand and beamed in contentment .

She suddenly felt a lump in her throat and an urge to cry .

Shen Luo’an seemed to have noticed Shen Manting’s sudden change in mood .

He gazed at her tenderly and smiled .

After breakfast, Shen Luo’an left the child under Qianqian’s care, briefed her on the specifics, and made sure she was capable of handling the child . Then, he led Shen Manting outside .

Shen Manting settled in the front passenger seat . She was better prepared this time around and fastened the seat belt by herself . She turned to Shen Luo’an and asked, “Where are we going today, honey?”

“The orphanage . ” Shen Luo’an glanced at her . “We’re going to the orphanage . ”

Shen Manting’s eyes widened . “Are we going to the orphanage I used to live in?”

“Yes . ”

Shen Manting felt a little scared after hearing his answer .

She rubbed her palms anxiously against the seat belt strap . “Why are we going back to the orphanage?” she asked .

“We’re going back to find your best friend . ” Shen Luo’an glanced at her . “Do you remember what you told me your name was?”

Shen Manting thought it was an odd question for him to ask . She answered after a contemplative pause, “He Yuncun . ”

“So you identified yourself by that name when you were in the orphanage?”

Shen Manting nodded . She was slightly intimidated as she studied the expression on Shen Luo’an’s face . “What’s the matter?” she asked .

“Who is Zhang Meifang?”

“She’s my best friend,” Shen Manting answered with conviction . “You’ve asked me this question twice, honey . ”

He asked this question most recently when she was staying in the ward the other day .

In fact, both Shen Luo’an and Shen Zhilie had asked her the same question .

Neither of them looked pleased when the subject was brought up .

Their faces seemed grim .

Was there a problem with her answer?

Shen Manting glanced at Shen Luo’an cautiously, but he didn’t explain further and simply said, “Settle in and buckle up . ”

“All right,” Shen Manting affirmed . “I’m ready . ”

Shen Luo’an glanced at her and started the engine . The car sped down the road .

They arrived at the orphanage nearly an hour later .

Throughout the hour-long drive, Shen Manting either stared out the window or glanced down to scroll through her phone from time to time .

Shen Luo’an pulled over, turned off the navigation system, and announced, “Here we are . ”

Shen Manting looked up and asked, “Why does this place look so dilapidated, honey?”

“Nineteen years have passed . Naturally, a lot has changed . ” Shen Luo’an unfastened his seat belt . “Let’s go . ”

Shen Manting emerged from the car into the scorching heat outside .

She squinted at the two children sitting by the entrance .

The two children, who appeared to be only five or six years old, stared at Shen Luo’an’s car in astonishment .

Shen Manting thought bitterly to herself, Finally, it’s time for them to admire my fancy car! My days of envying other people’s cars are over!

She scoffed .

Shen Manting turned her nose up haughtily . She caught up with Shen Luo’an and grabbed his arm . “Is the head warden still around, honey?”

“Yes . ” Shen Luo’an looked at her . “Do you still remember which room he’s in?”

Shen Manting nodded and led Shen Luo’an to the yard .

The children were running around joyfully and playing games .

They couldn’t help glancing at the newly-arrived, well-dressed strangers a bit longer .

“Warden!” Shen Manting shouted . “Is the head warden in?”

“Yes, I am . ” A man in his thirties appeared . “Who are you looking for?”
