Falling in Love With My Arranged-Marriage Husband-Chapter 320 - 294: Merely Strangers

Chang Li went to find Ah Mu, and Ji Sang’s treatment was thus put on hold. During this period, she dreamed much less because her days were full and she seldom thought about the orphanage.

Or perhaps it could be said that Ji Sang had begun to learn how to manage her emotions.

Once she set her emotions aside and viewed the clues from a third-party perspective, she discovered that although things seemed confusing at first glance, there were underlying connections.

Both she and Yi Feng had stayed at Tianxin Orphanage, which at the time belonged to the Yi Family’s charitable projects. Once Tianxin Orphanate ceased to exist, the Yi Family never again initiated an orphanage project. However, after joining the Yi Family, the very first project Yi Feng wanted to undertake on his own was to restart the orphanage project.

Every action of Yi Feng was supervised by his father. Xiao Su had investigated her identity; why did Yi Feng’s father have such a look in his eyes when he saw her?

Moreover, why did Fu Yisi’s expression change upon hearing about Tianxin Orphanage?

Ji Sang’s hand tightened unconsciously.

She knew that Fu Yisi’s expression would only look like that when Aunt Fu Zhixing was mentioned, right?

She had previously suspected that the woman in her dreams might be Aunt Fu Zhixing...

Ji Sang slightly frowned; the little boy who appeared in her dream was Yi Feng, a real person, so the aunt could very likely be real, too. She had written in her notebook that she once saw a miniature camera.

Now think about it, what kind of person would carry such a thing?

But if a hypothesis is set up, supposing the woman is Aunt Fu Zhixing, as a journalist, carrying such items would be natural for her and might also explain why she became so fond of photography after being adopted following a high fever.

All of this was sixteen years ago...

Do so many coincidences really exist in the world?

Min Yunwen’s idol is Aunt Fu Zhixing and when she enquired about this matter, Min Yunwen was elusive and even disagreed with her probing into the past events.

She also saw a folder about Tianxin Orphanage on Lu Ming’s computer.

...

Ji Sang took a deep breath and realized that there were indeed too many people involved in this matter. Suddenly, she felt like driving to Uncle Yong’s sanitarium to have a look.

To see Ah Xing who could paint.

Ji Sang was always action-oriented; since she wanted to go, she directly drove to the sanitarium.

Today’s weather couldn’t be considered good; the weak sunshine grew dim after driving nearly two hours.

Upon arriving at the sanitarium’s main gate, she didn’t see the scene from her first visit.

The weather was not great, patients weren’t active in the yard, and the sanitarium seldom received visitors; her car attracted the attention of the staff when it stopped at the entrance.

Ji Sang had been there once before, and one visit was all it took for the sanitarium’s staff to remember her.

After all, she was a guest who had been invited to the director’s office.

As soon as she opened the door, Ji Sang was ushered into the VIP reception room.

"The director is out today and has not returned."

Ji Sang had come here on a whim as well.

"It is I who came suddenly."

The assistant served tea.

"Is there something you need, Miss Ji? I will call the director and inform him."

Ji Sang shook her head.

"No need, I just came to relax."

Ji Sang took a sip of tea.

"Are they all resting indoors?"

The assistant hastened to say with a smile.

"Yes, we have leisure facilities set up indoors, would Miss Ji like to take a look?"

Ji Sang followed them there.

The sanitarium was vast, with plenty of indoor recreational and leisure areas.

There were those playing chess, table tennis, and drinking tea, among other activities.

After looking around, Ji Sang just couldn’t find Ah Xing.

When she returned to the entrance, Ji Sang finally asked the assistant,

"Does Ah Xing not come here usually?"

Upon hearing the name Ah Xing, the assistant paused for a moment, giving Ji Sang a thoughtful look, seemingly puzzled why she would specifically mention Ah Xing.

After a moment of hesitation,

"Ah Xing only goes outside when the weather is good. She doesn’t join activities with others, staying in her room."

The assistant paused,

"And the drawing studio."

The drawing studio originally didn’t exist, but after Yong Qi saw that Ah Xing enjoyed drawing, he specially ordered the construction of one.

But drawing was too solitary of an act, and since its completion, only Ah Xing consistently used the studio to draw.

Gradually, somehow, the drawing studio seemed to have become Ah Xing’s territory, and Yong Qi also made it a point to instruct them not to disturb her while she was painting.

So, in their eyes, Ah Xing was different.

At least, the director paid her extra attention and care.

The assistant’s hesitation was also because Ms. Ji seemed to be the director’s honored guest, and now she was asking to see Ah Xing. For a moment, the assistant wasn’t sure whether to take Ji Sang there immediately or to wait until Ah Xing had finished painting.

Ji Sang saw the assistant’s dilemma.

"I’ll just take a quick look from a distance, I won’t disturb her."

The assistant then nodded, relieved.

"Please follow me."

The drawing studio’s location was quite nice; both the lighting and the scenery seemed better than in other places of the sanitarium.

The assistant led Ji Sang to the courtyard facing the studio’s windows.

Ah Xing was indeed inside painting. Like the first time Ji Sang visited, her expression while painting was extremely focused. Yet today seemed different from that first occasion.

In contrast to the previous sunny day’s serene expression, today her brows and eyes seemed tinged with a hint of sorrow.

Ji Sang stood in the courtyard, watching from a distance, and her heart inexplicably found tranquility, just like the feeling she had the first time she saw her.

This was also the reason why Ji Sang suddenly wanted to visit the sanitarium to see her.

Ji Sang probably stood there for a few minutes, and as she was about to turn and leave, the person who had been focused on her painting suddenly looked out toward the courtyard, her gaze falling straight onto Ji Sang.

That look stopped Ji Sang in her tracks as she lifted her eyes to meet those of the person sitting by the window.

The two of them gazed at each other across the distance. Ji Sang could no longer lift her feet while the person inside slowly put down the paintbrush and walked up to the window.

Ji Sang’s expression faltered slightly, and her lips pursed gently. After a moment’s hesitation, she took steps forward.

She stopped no more than three meters away from the window ledge.

How should she greet her?

Ji Sang wasn’t quite sure.

Although she had indeed come to the sanitarium today for Ah Xing, they were strangers; in Ah Xing’s eyes, she was just a person she was seeing for the first time.

While Ji Sang was pondering how to start the conversation, the person inside the window suddenly smiled at her.
