Xiaojiao nodded and said, “Okay!”
Su Yue dialed Zhou Shuang’s number and pressed the speaker function. She placed her phone on the dining table.
Both mother and daughter peered at the phone and waited for Zhou Shuang to pick up.
‘Sorry, the number you have called is unavailable…’
Su Yue frowned when she heard that. She switched off her phone?
That woman needed a power bank for her phone whenever she went out. Yet, she had switched off her phone? It was unusual.
Su Yue decided to try again, but her phone remained switched off.
“Mommy, Aunt Hooligan switched off her phone,” said Xiaojiao as she glanced at Su Yue.
“Yeah.” Su Yue nodded.
She was about to lock her screen when her phone rang. Su Yue instinctively thought that it must be Zhou Shuang.
She pressed her lips when she saw the caller.
It was Ming Ansheng.
“Mommy, it’s Little Daddy.” Xiaojiao snatched Su Yue’s phone away and answered the call. “Hello, Little Daddy.”
Su Yue was speechless…
Su Yue tried picturing Ming Ansheng’s expression when he heard the little imp addressing him in that way.
She wanted to see if it would badly affect him.
He was such a prideful man, and yet his own daughter addressed him as ‘Little Daddy’.
Su Yue thought of it, and she guffawed.
“Big darling, put your hand down so that I can see your smile.”
Ming Ansheng raised his voice, and Su Yue could hear every word he said.
She was shocked. She froze with her hand over her mouth, and her eyes warily wandered around.
How could he be here!
She sprang to her feet and sprinted to the windows.
A towering figure stood in the courtyard with a hand deep inside his pocket. He held his phone to his ear with his free hand, and he smiled at her.
Su Yue was dumbstruck as though he had cast a spell on her. She stared at the man without even blinking.
It was just like a dream.
“Big darling, I miss you too much. What should I do?” The man spoke in a deep voice. His voice was a little hoarse, probably due to the long flight or maybe he was choked with emotion.
It tugged at her heartstrings.
Su Yue still held hel phone, and she tightened her grip. Her heart pounded wildly against her chest and she warned, “You cannot come in.”
The man’s face fell and he fell silent. He spoke softly again, “Then I’ll stand here to watch you. Can you just stand there and not move?”
…
Su Yue didn’t answer Ming Ansheng, and she turned around and vanished.
Ming Ansheng was startled that she left so abruptly. His hand fell limply beside his body, and he turned around…
She said she wanted to stay here for a year.
He was too impatient and he couldn’t contain his longing for her.
“Uncle Ming, where are you going?”
A familiar voice sounded, and it was pleasant and lovely.
Ming Ansheng halted his footsteps, and before he could turn around, a pair of arms wrapped themselves around his waist.
At that moment, it seemed as though spring had replaced winter and everything else turned vibrant and alive.
