Ming Ansheng managed a tiny smile at the butler, but he didn’t stop . He marched quickly out of the courtyard .
He reached his car and then opened the door before stuffing Beibei inside .
He turned around and went to the driver’s seat . After fastening his seatbelt, he ignited the engine . The series of actions was seamless .
“Daddy, you’re a coward . ”
The car sped for some time before Beibei’s disgruntled voice broke the silence .
It startled Ming Ansheng .
Ming Ansheng, you’re indeed a coward…
It was as though someone had exposed his well-hidden weakness all these years . He smiled bitterly to himself .
‘Even a child could tell how timid and cowardly you are . You didn’t dare to fight for her,’ Ming Ansheng thought to himself .
“Daddy, does Xiaojiao have a daddy?” asked Beibei .
Ming Ansheng answered, “Of course, she has a daddy . ”
Although he had just found out that Xiaojiao was his daughter, this exhilarating piece of news had entered his subconscious .
So, he replied without hesitation that Xiaojiao had a father—he was the father .
Beibei was in despair when he heard his answer . After a brief period of silence, he said, “Then… you should give up . ”
Ming Ansheng was about to turn around when Beibei quipped, “Daddy, I don’t want you to be the third-party . ”
Ming Ansheng was speechless…
Third-party… How he wished he could be the third party and split them up . Then he would snatch Xiaojiao and Su Yue away .
But she had already warned him not to do anything to make her hate him .
So, he abandoned that thought out of fear .
It was getting dark after dinner . Xiaojiao fell asleep on Su Yue’s lap the minute they entered the car after a long day .
Su Yue gazed at the girl and fell into a reverie . Suddenly, she glanced at Jiao Chen . “Jiaojiao, shall we go back to Country M?”
She missed the quiet and peaceful life that they had before .
She had been feeling jittery and worried these few days . She felt paranoid, as though she was about to lose something .
Could it be Xiaojiao?
No! There was no way she would give Xiaojiao to him .
And she understood him too well . He would never snatch from her .
Nevertheless, she still felt uneasy . Their decision to return was too abrupt, although she did come back for her third brother and third sister-in-law’s wedding .
“Su Yue, you can’t keep running away . ”
Jiao Chen’s gentle voice sounded .
Su Yue shook her head to prevent her imagination from running wild . She glanced at Jiao Chen and changed the topic . “How is the progress for the orphanage?”
Jiao Chen nodded . “It’s almost completed . ”
“Your mother is really going back to the orphanage?” Su Yue asked apprehensively .
Jiao Chen’s mother seemed to lead a good life with Jiao Chen’s father and his family . Why would she go back to the orphanage?
That orphanage was too rundown . So, the first thing Jiao Chen did when he came back was to renovate it .
He did it for the sake of the children and also for his mother . They needed a better environment .
Jiao Chen smiled . “She would be happy there with the children . ”
“Can’t we fetch her back to stay with us? Isn’t that better?” Su Yue frowned as she couldn’t understand . If his mother couldn’t get used to the new family, she could always stay with her son . Didn’t she miss her son at all?
Jiao Chen answered airily, “She prefers familiarity . So she wants to go back to the place she had stayed for half her life . ”
“Oh…” Su Yue pouted and said, “Then let’s visit her often then . It’s not that far from the capital city . ”
