Elite Doting Marriage: Crafty Husband, Aloof Cute Wife
chapter-1604

“Yueyue, don’t do this. Let Jiao Chen go in peace, alright?”

Xuxu carried Xiaojiao and peered at Su Yue. She was sobbing badly as well. “He didn’t want you to cry and grieve for him. How could you let him down?”

Xiaojiao was still wailing and yelling for her daddy.

Xuxu patted Xiaojiao’s back. “Xiaojiao, don’t cry. Daddy didn’t say that he didn’t want you.”

She coaxed her gently and turned around.

“Jiaojiao, how could you do this to me?” Su Yue heard Xuxu’s words, and she managed to recover herself a little. Her tears fell continuously onto Jiao Chen’s icy hand.

She gazed at him.

She continued to gaze at him for a long time. Her wonderful and gentle Jiaojiao. Had he disappeared completely from her life from now on?

…

In the empty house, there were wonderful memories at every corner.

A layer of dust covered the round marble dining table. Su Yue’s fair hand glided across the table.

She pulled a chair away from the table and sat down.

She continued to scribble on the dining table.

When she came out of her daze, she realized that she had written Jiaojiao’s name all over.

‘Try my new creation. Honey chicken wings.’

‘How was it?’

‘It’s a little sweet. But the taste is good.’

‘That means it isn’t good.’

‘It’s really good, I swear.’

Su Yue stared at an empty spot across the table. She could see Jiao Chen smiling, revealing rows of his teeth. His laughter was as pleasant as the spring breeze.

She stretched her hand. “Jiaojiao…”

There was nothing.

There was a prickling sensation in her nose and she withdrew her hand. She pressed her palms against the table and rose slowly. She walked away.

The glaring sunlight streamed in through the glass windows into the balcony.

Su Yue touched the colorful swing chair before sitting down. She rested her head on it and she rocked herself to and fro.

She closed her eyes and the gentle and refined man appeared once again.

He was lying on the swing chair, and Xiaojiao clung to his chest like a little puppy.

‘Let’s renovate this place. We can put a swing chair here so that we can read a book in the afternoons. What do you think?’

‘You decide as long as you like it.’

That was what he always said.

Tears rolled down her face and her lips sank once more.

‘Su Yue, you’re so beautiful.’

In the sunlight, Jiao Chen caressed her cheeks gently. Then his soft lips landed on her forehead.

Su Yue gave a violent shudder, and she opened her eyes.

The sunlight was still glaring and the trees outside all looked the same.

Everything remained unchanged, yet everything else had changed.

Jiaojiao. Her Jiaojiao was gone forever?

He had promised to build a garden for her and to be Xiaojiao’s daddy.

“Mommy.”

Xiaojiao’s voice sounded and ended Su Yue’s train of thoughts. She hastily wiped her tears and smiled at the girl.

“Xiaojiao!”

Su Yue carried Xiaojiao and kissed her.

“Where is Daddy?” Xiaojiao stared at Su Yue without blinking.

Su Yue smiled. “Daddy went to a faraway place.”

Xiaojiao was sad and she pouted. “When will he be back?”
