My Wife is a Beautiful CEO

Three days had passed and the weekend had arrived.

It was a peaceful afternoon over at Hope Orphanage.

The children were enjoying their weekend around in the backyard. The girls were busy playing with their cooking sets while the boys were playing a game of tag. Even if the circumstances might be tough for the children, the simple life brought about the connection between them that city kids tended to lack nowadays.

There were several orphans whod grown up and left the orphanage at a shot of a new life. Once in a while, they would return to assist President Cha with the chores around the orphanage, whether if it was lifting the donations around, or for spring cleaning.

From Lin Ruoxis perspective, everything looked too good to be true. A scene filled to the brim with love and heart, as she was subconsciously relieved from her burden, she cracked a rare smile.

At a comparatively secluded corner, under a Chinese banyan tree was Lin Ruoxi surrounded by a modest crowd of seven to eight children with a book in her hand.

It was a classic publication by nineteenth-century German linguists, the Grimm brothers. Even after centuries, the stories it brought was still going strong.

Lin Ruoxi, was not an exciting storyteller, but her tone was mellow and sweet, and in addition to her natural appeal with the children, she effortlessly captivated the attention of the children by her side.

Her main story today was the one story that she had narrated a dozen times now, the Brave Little Tailor.

It was a story about a witty, street-smart protagonist who, with some luck and bravery, became king. It was a story that inspired children with fantasy and imagination to what their lives could be.

The stories that she intentionally chose to skip were the ones like the Tom Thumb and Hansel and Gretel, which focused upon the appreciation of parents. She realized that it might bring about a sense of depression in the orphans, so she chose to evade them whenever possible.

After the first story was done, the children nagged for more and wanted to continue with Sleeping Beauty. Lin Ruoxi wiped off the beads of sweat from her forehead before she affectionately patted the head of a five-year-old girl closest to her. “Alright guys, you guys will have to wait for a bit, okay? Im going to get some water, and Ill come back as fast as I can.”

It was summer after all. If it wasnt for her love for the children, she wouldnt be sitting out there in the sun with a book in her hand. This was also an event very much supported by Guo Xuehua. As the spokesperson of multiple orphanages, her usual job required her to run the funding and distribution, which would keep her circling the orphanages throughout the weekend.

Storytelling was no easy work which was why President Cha had prepared a cup of tea for Lin Ruoxi prior to her arrival.

The children hesitantly watched as Lin Ruoxi left before quickly gathering around to discuss the fairytale and who resembled the tailor most.
