“No! Not annoying!”
Su Xiaojiao was getting anxious.
She missed her daddy so much and yet mommy complained about him being annoying.
Su Yue refused to pass the phone to her so she tried to snatch it away.
“Su Xiaojiao can’t wait to talk to you.” Su Yue finally passed the phone to Xiaojiao. It amused her how happy the little girl was. “Little ingrate.”
“Daddy! I miss you!” shouted Su Xiaojiao immediately.
Su Yue couldn’t hear what Jiao Chen had told Xiaojiao. But the girl furiously shook her head and said, “I miss you. Mommy doesn’t miss you.”
This little lass!
Su Yue frowned. “Su Xiaojiao! How did you know that I don’t miss Daddy?”
“Then do you?” The man raised his voice over the phone.
Obviously, he wasn’t asking Su Xiaojiao but Su Yue. Unconsciously, she cast a glance at Su Yan.
Su Yan was looking at her.
Her face turned scarlet.
Su Yan smirked to himself and averted his eyes.
Su Yue still felt bashful and awkward. She took the phone from Xiaojiao and said, “Mommy needs to talk to Daddy.”
She stood up and walked to the entrance with the phone against her ear.
“What are you talking about?” asked Su Yue.
The familiar gentle voice sounded once more. “Su Yue, did you miss me?”
Excitement was clear from his voice.
Without hesitation, Su Yue replied, “I miss you.”
He saved her life and spent four years with her. How could she not miss this man?
“I… miss you too,” said Jiao Chen in a constricted and slightly hoarse voice.
Nobody knew how hard he was trying to suppress his emotions. Nor the sweet nothings he wanted to say to her.
Su Yue bowed her head as she walked out of the restaurant. Her face was burning, but the cool breeze felt comfortable on her skin.
She asked, “When will you be back?”
“Susu.”
Jiao Chen’s voice gave Su Yue the illusion that he was just around her. Instinctively, she raised her head. And as though he had just teleported, the towering figure was standing a short distance in front of her.
She was visibly shocked. “You…”
It was dusk and red clouds had strewed the skies. The fading reddish light illuminated the tall and slim man.
The man still looked so gorgeous, and his smile was warm.
He wore a white T-shirt with jeans, and he looked just like any other ordinary guy.
Su Yue had no idea why her eyes were welling up with tears at that moment. She didn’t hang up, and in a choked voice, she said, “You’re so horrible.”
The man grinned and he whispered, “Overjoyed?”
Su Yue inhaled deeply and nodded. “Yeah, I’m overjoyed.”
She hung up and strode quickly towards him.
They were gazing at each other, waiting to reunite.
They both chose to stop before each other, and didn’t embrace each other, like what the TV characters did.
“When did you arrive?” Su Yue gripped her phone as she asked Jiao Chen.
Jiao Chen replied, “I came here after I landed.”
He stretched his hand and held Su Yue’s hand. “I’m hungry, let’s go back inside.”
“Daddy! Mommy!”
Su Xiaojiao saw Jiao Chen from the windows, and that made her feel ecstatic. She banged the windows, looking excited.
