Su Yue opened her mouth a couple of times before she managed to say, “You…”
She had just uttered a word when Ming Ansheng’s phone rang .
Ming Ansheng heard Su Yue first, and he merely glanced at his phone . He raised an eyebrow and asked, “Huh? What do you want to say?”
“Nothing . ” Su Yue shook her head and pointed at Ming Ansheng’s phone . “Answer your call, it’s your secretary . ”
Li Yang was Ming Ansheng’s long-time secretary . So naturally, she knew him .
The phone call destroyed the courage she had garnered .
She pressed her lips and turned her head away .
N City was as beautiful as a scene from a fairytale after the snow . It felt surreal and dreamy .
Just like how he was driving the car and with their daughter sitting behind .
Just like a family of three—this was something she had never dreamt of .
“I know, why are you so worried?”
“Tonight… as in tomorrow morning, send me those files that are urgent . Those that are not can wait until I get back . ”
“Decline . Why should I meet them?”
‘Cough, cough . ’
Ming Ansheng coughed as he spoke on the phone . He used a handkerchief to cover his mouth, for fear of passing the germs to Xiaojiao and Su Yue .
“Got it . Stop repeating yourself so many times . No wonder you’re still single!”
Li Yang heard Ming Ansheng coughing badly and he had expressed his concern for him . Yet, Ming Ansheng complained that he had nagged too much and hung up .
He hung up with a frown and looked impatient .
Li Yang heard him and the next moment, his boss ended the call .
He frowned and muttered at the phone . “You sound as if you’re not single . ”
Tch!
But he still sent his boss a text .
Ming Ansheng received the text and he glanced at the screen to read it .
‘Boss, yesterday you had a high fever of 39 degrees . I hope you take care of yourself . Remember to eat the medicine . ’
His phone rang loudly with the text notification .
Su Yue instinctively glanced at the phone . She had good eyesight and so she could read the contents of the text .
Fever of 39 degrees! She received a shock and her eyes widened .
She glanced at Ming Ansheng as he held the steering wheel tightly . It was snowing and the roads were slippery, so he was very focused .
The lights from the lamps illuminated his face and she could see how lethargic he looked . Especially his eyes which seemed to make him look aged .
He looked as though he had been through some hardships, and he seemed to have lost weight .
She was too immersed in enjoying Ming Ansheng and Xiaojiao’s company that she didn’t really notice him…
“Let’s eat there . ” Su Yue peered outside and pointed at a random restaurant .
Ming Ansheng glanced in the direction she was pointing at . “There?”
He slowed down .
Su Yue nodded . “Mm . ”
Ming Ansheng frowned and pursed his lips . “But there is nothing special about it . ”
It was just an ordinary restaurant .
“It’s near our house and I’ve always wanted to bring Xiaojiao here . But I didn’t get the chance to . Let’s eat there today . ” She glanced at Xiaojiao and smiled . “Xiaojiao, shall we?”
