The Old Man In The Orphanage
Translated by newbienoona

“Young man, you call me old, but how come you’re more stubborn than my old woman? Why do we have to sort things out things for you? Wouldn’t it be better to keep the secret forever?”
It makes sense, but Han Qilu isn’t listening.
“I only want the truth. It may be ugly, but it’s the truth afterall.” Han Qilu’s attitude is firm, and he doesn’t want to change at all.
The old man sighs and says, “I’m sorry, I have nothing to say.”
Han Qilu grits his teeth, and he doesn’t want to return without success this time! “I have found that the woman was pregnant when she was still with me.”
Hearing this, the old man trembles slightly, stiffening momentarily. Although he was abnormal only for a moment, Han Qilu keenly catches the change.
Without a trace, Han Qilu raises his lips. He deliberately makes the statement. In fact, he didn’t come up with the idea until he started his investigation. But now, it seems like the likelihood is high.
“Hey,” the old man says before sighing. “Our orphanage is only responsible for accepting orphans. If you really want to know the truth, you can go to that doctor.”
“That doctor?” Han Qilu looks up. Raising an eyebrow, he asks, “Which doctor?”
The old man says nothing. He turns and walks to a closet and takes out an iron box. The iron box hasn’t been touched in a while, and it’s covered with dust.
Han Qilu watches the old man open the box and take out a newspaper from it. Since it has been a while, the paper has yellowed.
“It’s him.” The old man points to the paper and says, “He carried the child. We agreed to hide the child from you to keep the agreement with him.”
The man in the newspaper had white hair on his temples. He doesn’t look old, but his hair is gray. He was wearing a white doctor’s lab coat in the headline article, “Obstetrics and Gynecology Chief Retires Early.”
From the old man’s narrative, Han Qilu is made aware the orphanage is much larger now, and government support isn’t quite sufficient. They weren’t able to feed the children frequently until the doctor showed up with the child that’s a few months’ old.
The doctor agreed to give all the assets required in the orphanage with the condition they take care of the child until it has all grown up.
“Since you have this agreement, why are you telling me now?” Han Qilu asks.
The old man sighs and says, “I also know you and Miss Xiang have reconciled. I always feel that in any situation, a sensible child shouldn’t live in an orphanage. If you can forgive Miss Xiang, please come and take the child away.”
Han Qilu falls into silence. His relationship with Xiang Mankuai is far from what the old man alluded. He wants to know why Xiang Mankuai resolutely left him. Was it really for a bright future?
According to Xiang Mankuai, if she left for the United States, they could maintain their relationship as she improved her chances for the future. Instead, she disappeared for that timeframe.
What happened during that period?
Even if he no longer loves her, he wants to know what happened back then.
“Thank you.” Han Qilu stands up and secretly writes down the doctor’s name.
It is the next day when he makes it back to the house. Since it is still early, he decides to nap before going downstairs for breakfast.
An Chuxia is taken aback when he finally emerges. “I thought you weren’t home.”
