Elite Doting Marriage: Crafty Husband, Aloof Cute Wife
chapter-1690

‘Cough, cough.’

Ming Ansheng tried to smother his coughing as Xiaojiao was asleep.

“Drink more water.” Su Yue carried Xiaojiao as she got off the car. Before she closed the car door, she hesitated for a moment before reminding Ming Ansheng.

She slammed the car door and ran back towards the house.

She entered and turned on the lights.

Everything seemed unchanged and so familiar. Yet, something was missing.

She and Xiaojiao were the only ones in the house now. No matter how happy or how loud their laughter was, the house still felt cold and lonely.

The lass was drained of all energy today. She didn’t flutter her eyelids at all when Su Yue transferred her to her bed.

Su Yue tucked Xiaojiao under her blanket and treaded carefully out of her room.

She walked to the couch and switched on her laptop.

She had to handle some urgent orders and queries.

She was getting better at handling customers by now.

She finished replying the orders and finally she could call it a day. She scanned the living room.

And her heart… felt empty.

She put down her laptop and grabbed a cushion. Her eyes darted around and landed on the photo wall.

She gazed at the photo of her, Xiaojiao, and Jiao Chen. Jiao Chen seemed to smile at her from afar.

“Jiaojiao…”

Su Yue’s phone rang suddenly.

It interrupted her thoughts, and she withdrew her gaze.

Third sister-in-law’s name was on the screen.

Why was her third sister-in-law calling her so late at night? Su Yue took her phone and put it to her ear. It suddenly dawned on her that it was day time in the capital city.

She said hello and Wen Xuxu’s voice sounded. “Yueyue, you haven’t slept?”

Su Yue slept really late after she started her online business. Xuxu and the rest knew that she always worked until past midnight.

If not, she wouldn’t have called so late.

Su Yue shook her head. “Nope.”

Su Yue’s heart felt warm when she heard Xuxu’s voice.

She managed a tiny smile as she fiddled with the cushion.

Xuxu asked, “Today is Christmas, did you bring Xiaojiao out?”

“Yeah. We just came back after a long day. She fell asleep on the way back.” Su Yue grinned as she replied.

In a rather worried tone, Xuxu asked, “It is snowing heavily in N City. Did you bring her out alone?”

“I was not alone. I was with Ming…” Su Yue hurriedly corrected herself. “My friend.”

Her voice was reduced to a whisper.

Xuxu chuckled over the line. “I know that Ming Ansheng is in Country M. He had contributed hundreds of thousands yuan to the airlines this year.”

Su Yue grunted in response, and she bowed her head as she blushed.

According to how often her helper had lugged back stuff from him, she could imagine how many trips he had made.

Su Yue felt like laughing.

Xuxu suddenly spoke solemnly, “Yueyue, if you still have him in your heart, try accepting him again. It’s tough for you to bring Xiaojiao up alone. Your brother and I are both worried for you.”
