He was filled with indescribable excitement. He fervently kissed her face.
He couldn’t kiss her enough.
Xiaojiao was his daughter. It overjoyed him.
Ming Ansheng was absorbed in his excitement when his phone rang again.
He wiped away the ice cream that had smudged onto his lips from kissing Xiaojiao’s face. He couldn’t calm his emotions. He took out his phone and saw that it was an unknown number. He was confused but decided to pick it up, anyway.
Before he could say anything, he heard a familiar voice on the other end.
“Ming Ansheng, where did you take Xiaojiao?”
Su Yue bellowed.
Ming Ansheng predicted that Su Yue would be furious when she found out that he had taken Xiaojiao away. So he remained calm and said, “Yueyue, Xiaojiao is with me. We’re at my apartment.”
Su Yue said nothing and ended the call.
Then he smiled and said to Su Xiaojiao, “Daddy will take you home.”
Her face was covered with ice cream and Ming Ansheng wasn’t in the least disgusted. He used his hands to wipe the ice cream off her mouth.
Then he couldn’t help but kiss her pink lips.
He was indescribably satisfied and excited that Xiaojiao was the daughter Su Yue had with him.
He had never expected Su Yue to give birth to their daughter overseas.
Although he was overjoyed, his heart ached for her too. Su Xiaojiao was only 18 when she had Xiaojiao. She was only 19 when she gave birth…
And he wasn’t with her during her pregnancy or when she gave birth. She was still a child. She herself needed someone to take care of her, yet he wasn’t by her side.
“Bubble, bubble…”
The bathtub was half-filled with water. Su Xiaojiao was sitting inside the tub with her white panties. It revealed her chubby body.
The sight made him want to pinch her.
Ming Ansheng was sitting by the bathtub, helping her pop the soap bubbles. He scooped up some bubbles with her index finger and wiped it onto her face.
Su Xiaojiao looked over, pouting as she glared at him. “Hmph. Bad Uncle.”
There were bubbles on both sides of her face, making her look hilarious and adorable. Ming Ansheng affectionately gazed at her.
“Bad Uncle.” Su Xiaojiao suddenly stood up and scooped up two handfuls of bubbles, and she threw them at Ming Ansheng.
Ming Ansheng didn’t dodge from her attack. He let the bubbles land on his face before scooping up a handful and throwing it back at her.
Xiaojiao chuckled, continuing her attack.
The bubble war ensued and it filled the bathroom with their laughter.
Ming Ansheng was drenched from head to toe, but his smile never left his face.
There were bubbles everywhere. Ming Ansheng stretched his hand into the water and realized that it was no longer warm. He stopped and gently said to Xiaojiao, “Alright, the water is cold. Go rinse yourself and put on your clothes, then we’ll have some nice food.”
He turned on the showerhead and adjusted the temperature before helping her rinse the bubbles off her body.
After the bath, he wrapped her in a towel and carried her up.
He was about to leave the room when the doorbell started incessantly ringing.
He knew immediately—without a doubt—it was Su Yue.
Ming Ansheng halted before pressing his lips and taking a deep breath. He walked over resolutely.
He opened the door and as he had expected—it was Su Yue.
“Ming Ansheng!” Su Yue bellowed at him when she entered.
Before he could say anything, she slapped him across the face.
