Xuxu sat down again.
Su Yue followed Xuxu and leaned against her desk. She lightly teased, “Despite being together for so many years, both of you still seem to be a couple who had just started dating.”
Xuxu became a little bashful. “Little lass, you’ve learned bad things.”
She blushed crimson.
Su Yue pouted. “Third Brother must have adored your bashfulness.”
It dumbfounded Xuxu.
Xuxu really wanted to say, ‘You are beginning to resemble your Third Brother in some areas.’
“I need to look for Xiaojiao. If she throws a tantrum, I think my brother wouldn’t be able to work in peace.”
Su Yue straightened her back and strode towards the door.
Xuxu quietly watched her as she fell into a deep reverie. The smile on her face vanished.
Her heart sank like an anchor.
‘God, why are you so unfair?’ Xuxu thought to herself.
…
Su Yue reached Su Yan’s office, and she pushed the door open.
Su Yan was standing by the windows, and he was talking on the phone.
For fear of disrupting him, Su Yue didn’t make a sound.
“I want to come back on the 7th.”
Su Yan instructed the person over the phone. “Yeah. If you can’t get the return tickets, then cancel the tickets.”
He hung up and turned around. Upon seeing Su Yue, he was slightly startled. “The lass seems tired. I placed her on the couch and she fell asleep right away,” said Su Yan with a smile.
He pointed at Xiaojiao who was fast asleep.
Su Yue replied, “It’s jet lag. She didn’t sleep much last night.”
She continued, “Brother, are you traveling again?”
Su Yan’s eyes flickered, and he nodded. “Maybe.”
“Oh.” Su Yue paused and she casually asked, “Where are you going to?”
Su Yan replied, “Country M.”
“Oh, Country M?” said Su Yue with a bright smile. “If you’re coming back on the 7th, you can come back with Jiaojiao. He is planning to come back soon.”
“Let’s see if we can arrange it.” Su Yan changed the topic. “Did you manage to tidy the place yesterday?”
“Didn’t you arrange everything for me? I merely brought my suitcases there.”
Su Yan nodded. “Let’s have dinner together tonight.”
“Sure,” Su Yue agreed, and she added, “I’ll take a nap on the couch, too. I didn’t sleep much yesterday You carry on with your work.”
Su Yan nodded.
The siblings didn’t talk too much afterward.
Su Xiaojiao and Su Yue stayed at Flourish & Prosper until it was evening.
Yan Rusheng and Xuxu didn’t tag along, so Su Yue and Su Yan left with Xiaojiao.
They went to a Chinese restaurant in the vicinity. Su Yan had reserved a table to avoid queuing up.
The seats were by the window.
Su Yue sat across Su Yan at the table. He ordered several dishes.
To kill time while waiting, Xiaojiao watched cartoons on Su Yue’s phone.
They were watching the cartoons when Su Yue received an incoming call.
Jiaojiao was on the other line.
Su Yue heard the girl clapping and exclaiming excitedly, “Daddy! Daddy!”
As though she hasn’t heard from her father in years.
Su Yue extended her hand to stroke her hair. She answered the call. “Why are you calling again?”
Jiao Chen chuckled. “Are you getting annoyed?”
Su Yue replied, “Yeah, so annoying.”
