There was a pile of documents waiting for him to peruse.
The older he got, the more important his family was to him. Nothing was more important than Su Yue and Xiaojiao right now.
…
Su Yue trudged across the thick snow. Every step she took required her to use strength in order for her not to slip and fall.
A plethora of emotions had overwhelmed her.
She ran all the way back and dashed directly to the photo wall. She didn’t even take off her shoes.
She raised her head and gazed at the family photo she had with Xiaojiao and Jiao Chen. “Jiaojiao,” mumbled Su Yue.
She couldn’t let go of Jiao Chen.
He was the one by her side during the most exhausting period of her life. How could she easily forget him?
‘Uncle Ming, how can I be with you, when I haven’t forgotten about him?’
To her, Jiao Chen and Ming Ansheng were both outstanding and perfect men. They loved her so much. But there was no way to compare the both of them.
Ming Ansheng sent Xiaojiao back in the late afternoon.
“She just woke up. I don’t know why, but she is quite grumpy. Coax her later.” Ming Ansheng removed the thick jacket that he had wrapped Xiaojiao with. He wanted to make sure it fully protected her from the cold.
The lass clung onto him, and she looked sleepy. She had a frown on her face, and she looked grumpy indeed.
Su Yue nodded. “I’ll carry her.”
She stretched both hands to carry Xiaojiao.
The girl’s body was warm and soft. After Su Yue carried her, the little girl placed her head on Su Yue’s shoulders.
Ming Ansheng gazed at them affectionately and smiled. “I’ll go back first. Call me if you need me.”
He sounded as if he was reluctant to leave.
He was about to turn around when he remembered something. “Yueyue…”
“Uncle Ming…”
Su Yue and Ming Ansheng spoke at the same time. And they both stopped when they heard each other’s voices.
They waited for the other person to speak first.
Both of them fell silent for a while. Ming Ansheng finally broke the silence and said, “You go first.”
Su Yue smiled and said, “Remember to eat your medicine and drink more water. Don’t tire yourself out.”
Ming Ansheng’s heart fluttered at her words of concern. He nodded and his eyes sparkled with emotions. “I got it. Doctor Xiaojiao has reminded me many times.”
He knew that she wasn’t angry with him. She just couldn’t let go of Jiao Chen.
Actually, what he wanted to say was… he didn’t mind.
Jiao Chen had sacrificed himself to save her. And he stayed by her for four years. It would be impossible for her to forget him entirely.
Although he felt jealous sometimes, he understood.
To Su Yue, Ming Ansheng was like a silly boy right now. Her lips curled into a gentle smile.
Ming Ansheng spoke again. “Lu Yinan will be here tomorrow afternoon. I’m going to fetch him. Let’s have a meal together.”
Su Yue furrowed her eyebrows when she heard him. “Why are you fetching him when you haven’t recovered? Can’t he just take a taxi?”
The airport was quite a distance away and he would have to wake up early to fetch him.
Ming Ansheng’s eyes twinkled as emotions flooded his eyes. “Then I’ll tell him to take a taxi.”
