Ming Ansheng managed a tiny smile at the butler, but he didn’t stop. He marched quickly out of the courtyard.
He reached his car and then opened the door before stuffing Beibei inside.
He turned around and went to the driver’s seat. After fastening his seatbelt, he ignited the engine. The series of actions was seamless.
“Daddy, you’re a coward.”
The car sped for some time before Beibei’s disgruntled voice broke the silence.
It startled Ming Ansheng.
Ming Ansheng, you’re indeed a coward...
It was as though someone had exposed his well-hidden weakness all these years. He smiled bitterly to himself.
‘Even a child could tell how timid and cowardly you are. You didn’t dare to fight for her,’ Ming Ansheng thought to himself.
“Daddy, does Xiaojiao have a daddy?” asked Beibei.
Ming Ansheng answered, “Of course, she has a daddy.”
Although he had just found out that Xiaojiao was his daughter, this exhilarating piece of news had entered his subconscious.
So, he replied without hesitation that Xiaojiao had a father—he was the father.
Beibei was in despair when he heard his answer. After a brief period of silence, he said, “Then... you should give up.”
Ming Ansheng was about to turn around when Beibei quipped, “Daddy, I don’t want you to be the third-party.”
Ming Ansheng was speechless...
Third-party... How he wished he could be the third party and split them up. Then he would snatch Xiaojiao and Su Yue away.
But she had already warned him not to do anything to make her hate him.
So, he abandoned that thought out of fear.
...
It was getting dark after dinner. Xiaojiao fell asleep on Su Yue’s lap the minute they entered the car after a long day.
Su Yue gazed at the girl and fell into a reverie. Suddenly, she glanced at Jiao Chen. “Jiaojiao, shall we go back to Country M?”
She missed the quiet and peaceful life that they had before.
She had been feeling jittery and worried these few days. She felt paranoid, as though she was about to lose something.
Could it be Xiaojiao?
No! There was no way she would give Xiaojiao to him.
And she understood him too well. He would never snatch from her.
Nevertheless, she still felt uneasy. Their decision to return was too abrupt, although she did come back for her third brother and third sister-in-law’s wedding.
“Su Yue, you can’t keep running away.”
Jiao Chen’s gentle voice sounded.
Su Yue shook her head to prevent her imagination from running wild. She glanced at Jiao Chen and changed the topic. “How is the progress for the orphanage?”
Jiao Chen nodded. “It’s almost completed.”
“Your mother is really going back to the orphanage?” Su Yue asked apprehensively.
Jiao Chen’s mother seemed to lead a good life with Jiao Chen’s father and his family. Why would she go back to the orphanage?
That orphanage was too rundown. So, the first thing Jiao Chen did when he came back was to renovate it.
He did it for the sake of the children and also for his mother. They needed a better environment.
Jiao Chen smiled. “She would be happy there with the children.”
“Can’t we fetch her back to stay with us? Isn’t that better?” Su Yue frowned as she couldn’t understand. If his mother couldn’t get used to the new family, she could always stay with her son. Didn’t she miss her son at all?
Jiao Chen answered airily, “She prefers familiarity. So she wants to go back to the place she had stayed for half her life.”
“Oh...” Su Yue pouted and said, “Then let’s visit her often then. It’s not that far from the capital city.”
