Ming Ansheng hung up when the call had diverted to the voicemail, and he said to Yan Rusheng, “No one picked up . ”

Yan Rusheng replied, “Then don’t bother about him anymore . He couldn’t have gone missing . Perhaps he had already gone for a spin somewhere . ”
He said to Ming Ansheng, “We’re going back first . You make your own arrangements . ”
Ming Ansheng nodded before intentionally taking a glance at Su Yue . Her tiny frame looked exquisitely delicate .
‘Oh my God!’
His thoughts started running wild again, and he immediately put a stop to it .
He answered, “I’ll stay here since I’ve consumed some alcohol . Perhaps, Lu Yinan might return later, too . ”
Yan Rusheng nodded, and he held Xuxu’s hand . They left together with Mu Li .
When Ming Ansheng returned to his room, the first thing he did was to remove his clothes and went straight into the bathroom and turned on the tap . He allowed the cold shower to drench his body .

His head was lifted and his eyes shut .
‘It must be the effect of the alcohol . It had to be!’
It was all peace and quiet after a noisy night . Su Yue suddenly stuck on to Xuxu and wanted to follow her home .
Yan Rusheng was seated at the front passenger seat while Xuxu and Su Yue sat behind .
Su Yue slumped her head on Xuxu’s shoulders . “Third sister-in-law . ”
There was a hint of disappointment in her tone . Xuxu looked at her and knitted her eyebrows, feeling puzzled . “Yes? What’s wrong?”
Su Yue asked, “Why didn’t brother Qi Lei come today?”

He said that he would definitely turn up on her birthday .
“If you didn’t mention it, I would’ve forgotten about it,” Xuxu said with a smile . “He went back to his hometown with his grandfather . He called last night to inform me to let you know . ”
Su Yue replied with an ‘oh’ upon hearing this and smiled . “So it wasn’t on purpose that he didn’t turn up . ”
“Of course . ” Xuxu answered, “He went back for tomb sweeping with his grandfather . ”
Then, she turned and looked out of the window, and her heart turned sorrowful . It was almost the annual monsoon season again .
She leaned against the car window . Her eyes glistened with tears .
The car entered the courtyard and stopped outside the entrance, then they got off .
Su Yue was walking ahead of them . She was still wearing the little pink gown paired with a white knitted coat . Her shadow on the ground made her appear even more slender and taller than her actual self .
She was really happy that night that even her footsteps sounded lighthearted . Xuxu felt comforted .
“Yueyue . ”
Su Yue had just started walking up the stairs at the entrance when a male figure suddenly appeared . A hint of guilt could be detected from his deep voice .
Xuxu was momentarily startled, but she managed to lift her head towards the direction of the voice . Su Yue was also visibly shocked .
Her gaze was fixed on the man standing at the entrance who was looking at her with a guilt-filled face . Her eyes brightly sparkled . Other than the look of shock on her exquisite looking face, there was also an indescribable trace of emotion .
“Oh . ” Su Yue responded after quite some time before lowering her head and continued walking forward .
Xuxu and Yan Rusheng also regained their footsteps and move forward, trailing behind her .
When Su Yue walked past him, Yan Weiye felt his heart was being emptied . He attempted to hold her hand but failed to grab her .
He followed after her . “Yueyue . ”
Finally, when she reached the middle of the living room, Su Yue stopped and responded with another ‘oh’ and remained silent .
Yan Weiye walked up to her with an apologetic expression and said, “Dad has let you down . ”
Su Yue shook her head and calmly answered, “It’s alright . I don’t feel much anyway . ”
All these years, she had already grown accustomed to not having a daddy and a mommy celebrating her birthday with her .
Actually, the joy and happiness that she’d experience at her birthday party were much more than all the happiness she’d felt over the last ten years .
