She put her weight on the uninjured leg. Her other leg was still in pain but she held it in, not wanting Jiao Chen to know.
“Is the wedding processional over?” Jiao Chen’s voice was full of gentleness.
Su Yue replied, “It just ended, we’re eating now.”
Before he could reply, she said, “Get back to work.”
Jiao Chen smiled, his tone with a hint of a smile. “Where’s Xiaojiao?”
“She’s right beside me.” Su Yue said, “She misses you a lot. I’ll let her talk to you.”
Then she placed the phone to Xiaojiao’s ear and said, “Xiaojiao, Daddy wants to talk to you.”
Xiaojiao was elated when she heard that it was Daddy on the other line. She snatched the phone with two hands and turned around. “Daddy.”
Her voice was as clear and sweet as honey.
If only she were calling him instead. He would definitely feel like he’d just eaten honey.
Ming Ansheng stopped at the entrance and hid behind the door frame. He looked upwards, his eyes full of bitterness.
The anguish flowed through his body and hit his heart.
“I’ll listen to Mommy. Mommy looks beautiful.”
“I miss Daddy. My tummy misses you, my neck misses you, everywhere misses you.”
“Mm, Xiaojiao will behave. Miss you Daddy.”
“Daddy and Mommy sleep together. Mommy is the bride.”
What nonsense was that?
Su Yue heard her words and frowned.
What Daddy and Mommy sleep together? Mommy is the bride?
Why didn’t she understand what she was talking about?
“Wait for you. Muack muack.. .”
Finally, after the little lass said, ‘I miss you Daddy’ a couple more times, she turned around and passed Su Yue the phone. “Mommy, kiss Daddy.”
Su Yue stared at her. She was speechless as she took the phone from her.
She was planning on ignoring Xiaojiao.
But the little one stared at her with her bright eyes not blinking. “Mommy, kiss Daddy.”
She wouldn’t give up until she kissed him.
Su Yue said to Jiao Chen, “Xiaojiao wants me to kiss you. What should I do?”
Jiao Chen smiled. “Where do you want to kiss me?”
Su Yue held in her smile and feigned seriousness. “Mr. Jiao Chen, please close your eyes. I’m going to kiss you.”
“Alright.” Jiao Chen’s voice became somber as well.
” Muack Mauck… ”
Su Yue mimicked how Xiaojiao always kissed Jiao Chen over the phone.
His heart melted.
His laugh reverberated through the phone and into the ears of the girl he loved. He said, “Susu, I miss you so much.”
Su Yue’s voice became gentle. “Come back soon.”
“Alright.” Jiao Chen ended the call after.
The pale blue patient uniform was loose on him, and his handsome features couldn’t hide his weariness.
He gripped the phone with two hands and leaned against the head of the bed. He recalled the kiss that Su Yue gave him over the phone.
His heart buzzed with happiness.
“Jiao, you seem to be in good spirits today.”
A middle-aged doctor in a white gown smiled as he walked into the ward. He was holding a blue file of medical records.
Jiao Chen recollected his thoughts and smiled at the doctor. “Indeed.”
At that moment, nothing made him happier than hearing Su Yue and her daughter’s voices, and seeing them smile.
