Mo Jinxi was still hesitant but felt that it was reasonable after hearing what Shi Tou and Tian Tian said. He would be spending more time with his grandfather and grandmother in the future and would not have a lot of chances to come back to the orphanage.

He said, “Grandmother, I would like to stay and spend a bit more time with the old Principal and my siblings. I won’t have a lot of chances to do so after I go back with you all.”

Liang Xiulin wanted to object but Police Chief Mo spoke first, “Sure, you have a point.”

Mo Jinxi saw Police Chief Mo in the news before, and he had also learned about him from his ideological and political education subject in school. His teacher had shown videos too.

For somebody who was always stern looking in the eyes of the public or during private moments, Mo Jinxi was exceptionally happy to receive his validation and his little face beamed with a huge smile immediately. The little face who looked perturbed and helpless now bloomed with happiness since Lin Chu stepping into the house.

Since Police Chief Mo had already said so, Liang Xiulin could not object. She was reluctant to speak anymore, and her face took on a ghastly expression.

Mo Jinxi saw it, he hesitated for a while before climbing down the couch. He walked over carefully to Liang Xiulin and raised his head to look at her.

Liang Xiulin’s ghastly expression softened when she saw Mo Jin Xi. She smiled and fondled his little head.

Mo Jinxi smiled carefully at Liang Xiulin and raised his little hand to gently tug at the corner of her blouse twice.

“What is it?” Liang Xiulin asked in a soft and gentle voice.

“Grand…grandmother.” Unlike earlier, it was Mo Jinxi who greeted first this time.

Even though he still felt a bit scared, it was already a major improvement for him.

At that moment, Liang Xiulin felt that she could agree to whatever Mo Jinxi might request.

“I want to stay back and spend a bit more time with the old Principal and the younger brothers and sisters. Is that alright?” Mo Jinxi asked. His head was raised, his voice was not loud, but he did not sound shy, only bashful and cute like that was unique to how a child would sound.

Mo Jinxi was looking at her earnestly, his tone of voice negotiating, Liang Xiulin could not bear to reject his request.

“I won’t have lots of opportunities next time, I am going to stay with Grandfather and Grandmother, right? Then I won’t always be seeing the old Principal and my brothers and sisters,” Mo Jinxi said, and he started to sob.

His initial joy of having a family swept away, only thoughts of him leaving the old Principal and his familiar little friends saddened him and he felt a fear of the unknown for a new family.

He had never expected to be adopted and had never felt envious when he saw the younger children being adopted.

There was the old Principal and his familiar friends here. The orphanage was like a home to him and there was no difference.

Leaving here would mean leaving home.

When Lin Chu wanted to adopt him earlier, he did not feel like his because he had always treated Lin Chu as part of his family. When staying with family, there is no need to feel scared or adapt as it was part and parcel of being a family.

However, he felt strange toward Police Chief Mo and Liang Xiulin, and could not help feeling affected

Liang Xiu Lin sighed and replied, “You…if you want to stay, then stay.”

Mo Jinxi beamed, showing his little white teeth. The feelings of cautiousness and restrained seemed to have disappeared slightly.

“Thank you, Grandmother,” Mo Jinxi thanked and released his tug on her blouse.

Even though it was just a tug on the corner of her blouse, Liang Xiulin could not help but feel disappointed when Mo Jinxi released it. She caught Mo Jinxi’s hand and said, “Let Grandmother know if you lack anything here. The procedure would be done quickly, and Grandmother will bring you home as soon as possible.”

Lin Chu heard what she said and felt uncomfortable in her heart. It sounded as if Mo Jinxi felt grieved staying here.

The old Principal also felt slightly hurt hearing it. She lowered her head and sighed quietly but did not say anything.
