Elite Doting Marriage: Crafty Husband, Aloof Cute Wife
chapter-1607

“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.”
