Su Yue held Xiaojiao tightly as she quickly walked away.
Seeing that they were getting further away from Ming Ansheng, Xiaojiao stretched her hands in his direction and yelled, “Mommy, kite. I want kite.”
Xiaojiao was just starting to enjoy it when Su Yue abruptly interrupted.
Of course, she would make a fuss.
Su Yue pressed Xiaojiao’s head down and buried the little girl’s face in her neck. She didn’t want her to look behind her, to look at… Ming Ansheng.
She was afraid. She wanted to prevent them from any form of interaction. She wanted to stop them from getting close to each other.
She was afraid that one day, Xiaojiao would call him ‘Daddy’.
How could she let that happen?
Xiaojiao belonged to her and Jiao Chen. Xiaojiao’s daddy was Jiao Chen.
Xiaojiao started bawling when Su Yue didn’t stop walking. “I want kite. I want kite…”
“Mommy will bring you to eat nice food.” Su Xiaojiao released her hand which was on Xiaojiao’s head. She smiled and asked, “What do you want to eat? Mommy will bring you, okay?”
Su Xiaojiao blinked, her eyes brimming with tears. She answered, “Ice-cream. Xiaojiao wants ice-cream.”
Usually, ice-cream was something she could only dream of having.
Because she was of premature birth. At the start, Su Yue didn’t know that she was pregnant. She didn’t have enough rest and nutrition when she was taking care of Jiao Chen for the first few months into her pregnancy.
As a result, Xiaojiao didn’t develop well in the starting stages and her health was weak after her birth. When she was very young, she often had fevers and caught colds. But she’d gotten better since.
Su Yue didn’t let her eat cold food. She was only able to when Jiao Chen sneakily fed her some when she wasn’t looking.
The little lass looked at Su Yue, eyes brimming with tears, giving her a look that said: ‘If you don’t let me have ice-cream, I’ll start bawling.’
“Alright.” Su Yue nodded before negotiating with her. “Just a little, okay?”
It didn’t matter how much she’d have, as long as she could have some. Su Xiaojiao smiled immediately. “Mm.”
Her eyelashes were still studded with tears but her smile revealed her double chin.
Su Yue carried Xiaojiao into a dessert shop in L Square. It was slightly warmer in the afternoon during this season, so the shop was crowded.
They went to the ordering counter, and Su Xiaojiao pointed at the strawberry flavored ice-cream without hesitation.
One cup of ice-cream was around the size of a bowl of rice.
They sat at a window seat, which gave them a view of the outside.
Their helper sat opposite them.
After they sat down, Xiaojiao eagerly scooped the ice-cream into her mouth.
“You can only have some,” Su Yue reminded as she used a tissue paper to wipe the ice-cream at the corners of her mouth.
After Xiaojiao had a few scoops, Su Yue said, “Mommy is going to the washroom. Can you leave some for Mommy?”
Su Xiaojiao nodded obediently. “Okay.”
“You have to leave some for Mommy, alright?” Su Yue smiled and rubbed her head before walking to the exit.
There were public toilets at L Square. The small shops around the square had no toilets, so she had to use the public toilet.
It wasn’t the first time she was here so she was familiar with the area. Once she exited, she made her way towards the public toilet.
“Yueyue.”
A familiar voice called her from the right. She stopped in her tracks and turned around in shock.
The tall man was looming closer. Su Yue stared at him and smiled. “You’re still here.”
Ming Ansheng stopped a step away from her. He gazed at her intensely for a while.
Then he earnestly said, “You should go home. You’re all alone in Country M and you have to take care of Xiaojiao…”
