“Thank you . ” Su Yue smiled, taking out her wallet from her bag . Looking through it, the smallest note she had was 500 US dollars .
She passed one to the boss .
He seemed troubled when he saw the note in her hand . “Oh, no . I’ve used up all my small change . I don’t think I have change for you . ”
“Then…” Su Yue thought for a while and turned to ask their helper, “Auntie, do you have money?”
“No, I don’t,” she replied as she shook her head . “I left my wallet at home after getting the groceries . ”
“Thirty . ”
Suddenly, a deep, mature voice filled her ears .
Su Yue turned around in shock . The man was in a well-ironed shirt and there was a beautiful smile on his handsome face .
Su Yue stared at him in shock . “What… What are you doing here?”
Ming Ansheng airily replied, “I have some matters to settle in Country M . I arrived two days ago and I’ll be leaving tomorrow, so I wanted to visit both of you . ”
Then he looked at Xiaojiao, commenting as he pointed at her kite, “The butterfly kite is beautiful . Xiaojiao has great taste . ”
Su Xiaojiao was gazing at him rather timidly, and she remained silent .
Ming Ansheng’s smile faltered . Then he said to Su Yue, “On my way to your place, I saw you walking here, so I followed you . ”
Su Yue muttered out a response . She didn’t show any other emotions other than shock at seeing Ming Ansheng .
She looked at the kite in Xiaojiao’s hands and said, “Thank you . ”
Thank you… Ming Ansheng felt a stab to his heart .
That was his daughter, yet he received a polite and… distant ‘thank you’ because he bought her a kite?
“I’ll bring Xiaojiao to fly the kite,” Su Yue said to Ming Ansheng before carrying her towards the crowded area of L Square .
Ming Ansheng gazed intensely at her skinny body and sighed helplessly .
Su Yue! How could he not worry about her?
“Mommy, so high,” Xiaojiao commented as she pointed at a red kite that was soaring way above . She peered at it enviously and pulled Su Yue’s arm .
Su Xiaojiao glanced at it and said to Xiaojiao, “Xiaojiao’s kite will fly as high too . ”
Then she started studying their kite .
She had originally thought that it was like an umbrella and would fly once it was opened, but she couldn’t get the technique right even after many tries .
“Let me do it . ” The tall man squatted in front of Su Yue, taking the kite from her .
Su Yue opened her mouth to decline, but swallowed the words once they were at the tip of her tongue .
Ming Ansheng studied the kite and frowned . “One stick is broken . ”
Su Yue replied, “I’ll go ask the shop owner for a new one . ”
It was new anyway, so they could definitely switch it for a new one .
“It’s alright . It doesn’t affect anything,” Ming Ansheng said as he broke off the broken stick . The kite opened .
It was beautiful, as though a real butterfly had spread its wings .
Su Xiaojiao clapped happily . “Kite going to fly . Going to fly . ”
She had already become impatient a long time ago .
Ming Ansheng passed Xiaojiao the kite and affectionately smiled . “I’m very good at flying kites . I’ll teach you how to fly it really high . ”
