Su Yan, who was sitting across witnessed the entire scene. He shook his head in amusement.
But gradually, his smile became oddly twisted while his expression turned grave and solemn.
“Daddy!”
Su Yue and Jiao Chen returned to the table, and Su Xiaojiao squealed in delight. She dove right into Jiao Chen’s embrace and hugged him tightly and showered him kisses.
She was like an octopus clinging onto him.
Jiaojiao carried Xiaojiao and hugged her tightly. He loved this little girl so much.
His eyes were flooded with affection as he watched Xiaojiao’s face. “Xiaojiao, did you miss me?”
Su Xiaojiao nodded her head fervently.
As though she was trying to convey how much she missed him.
Jiao Chen gave the girl a peck on her cheek. “I miss you so much.”
“Did you miss Mommy?” Su Xiaojiao blinked her innocent-looking eyes as she gazed at Jiao Chen.
Jiao Chen briefly pondered before replying in a hushed voice, “A little. But I miss Xiaojiao more.”
“Good Daddy.” Su Xiaojiao kissed him once more.
His answer satisfied her.
Su Yue interrupted the father and daughter pair who only had eyes for each other at the moment. “Do you still want to eat?”
“Mommy is jealous.” Su Xiaojiao covered her mouth and sniggered.
Jiao Chen was rather surprised.
He wasn’t surprised that Xiaojiao had assumed Su Yue was jealous, but the words she used.
Su Yue knew why Jiao Chen was surprised. “I bet you didn’t know how mature and smart children are these days. They can even portray TV characters.”
Jiao Chen chuckled in response.
Su Yan and Jiao Chen didn’t talk much. Hence, throughout the dinner, Su Yue and Xiaojiao were the only ones talking.
After dinner, Su Yue and Jiao Chen left with Xiaojiao first.
Jiao Chen placed Xiaojiao on his shoulders, and the girl was giggling.
Su Yan was watching this happy family through the glass windows. A plethora of emotions were whirling in his eyes as he became somber.
Xiaojiao sat on Jiao Chen’s shoulders for a while before Jiao Chen swung her around in circles.
The girl was laughing so happily.
“Let’s go.” Su Yan stepped out of the entrance and asked, “Are you all going home?”
“We’ll take a walk?” Su Yue glanced at Jiao Chen.
Jiao Chen agreed with a nod.
She turned to Su Yan. “Brother, do you want to join us?”
Su Yan declined. “I have work to do.”
Su Yue frowned. “You’re always busy with work. When can you get me a sister-in-law?”
“Don’t worry about trivial stuff like this.” Su Yan prodded Su Yue’s head and said, “Where do you want to go? I’ll send you.”
Su Yue replied, “We’ll take a cab later. I want to take a stroll first.”
She stretched her hands to carry Xiaojiao.
“Sure.” Su Yan nodded. “Then go back and rest early later.”
He took out his car keys as he strode towards his car.
When he walked past Jiao Chen, he cast him a long thoughtful glance.
Su Yue pursed her lips as she stared at her brother. “He will be 28 soon, and yet he doesn’t even have a girlfriend.”
Jiao Chen smiled when he heard her.
…
“It’s getting late, let’s go back.”
After taking a stroll with Xiaojiao, Su Xiaojiao glanced at her watch.
