1557 Why Weren’t They Together? Part Ten

"Lass, I was planning to tell you a piece of good news. But…" Yan Rusheng paused and said, "Forget it."

He turned around and haughtily marched out.

Good news?

What good news?

Yan Rusheng had already left the room when Su Yue rose and followed him. "Third Brother! What good news?"

Xuxu shook her head, looking amused.

The lass got easily excited by a casual remark. What an innocent girl.

She carried Xiaojiao and trailed slowly behind them.

"Third Brother, what good news?" Su Yue tugged at his arm and asked repeatedly.

Yan Rusheng had already descended some steps while Su Yue was still at the landing.

Yan Rusheng turned around and he slyly raised his eyebrows. "What good news do you want to hear the most?"

There was a long pause…

Su Yue let go of his arms, and she pursed her lips. "Liar," said Su Yue with a sneer.

Suddenly, Xiaojiao's voice sounded. "Jerk!"

Her sweet voice carried a hint of anger.

"Pfft!"

Xuxu burst into laughter as she glanced at Yan Rusheng. She was waiting for him to react.

Yan Rusheng glanced at Su Xiaojing. "Annoying."

Both she and her mother were equally annoying.

He turned around and continued to go down the stairs. He looked cool with both hands in his pockets.

"He is too despicable! How could he lie?"

Su Yue vented her frustrations and hissed angrily at Yan Rusheng's back. Then she turned around to look at Xuxu.

"Mommy, carry." Xiaojiao extended her arms towards Su Yue.

Su Yue cast her a glance and said, "Walk on your own."

Su Xiaojiao whined. "Mommy is bad."

She immediately changed her mind and clung onto Xuxu's neck.

She shouldn't insist on her way, but at least she still had someone to carry her.

…

Because of jet lag, Su Xiaojiao slept during the daytime. She couldn't fall asleep at night.

After a long day, Su Yue felt exhausted and yet the girl kept pestering her. As a result, she couldn't rest properly.

The girl kept nudging her.

"Mommy, I want a story."

Su Yue thought that the girl's toys would keep her occupied, but she had barely closed her eyes when the girl pestered her again.

She squinted her eyes and pushed Xiaojiao. "Be a good girl. Mommy is so tired. Can you let me sleep?"

She was so sleepy that her eyes were about to a close.

The girl hugged her and refused to budge. "I want little mermaid."

Su Yue gently patted her on her hand and said, "Wait for Daddy to tell you the story."

It was the story that Jiao Chen often read her, and the girl only wanted him to read the story for her every night.

Su Xiaojiao was furious when her mommy rejected her. She pouted and whined. "Lying Uncle told me the story."

Su Yue widened her eyes. "Who is this 'Lying Uncle'?"

Lying Uncle. The first person who came to mind… Ming Ansheng.

"Lying Uncle told Xiaojiao the story." Su Xiaojiao turned her back against Su Yue. "Mommy is bad."

Other than Ming Ansheng, there wasn't anyone else.

So, Ming Ansheng even told her a story after he brought her back home?

And this girl seemed to have enjoyed the story.

In the past, she only allowed Jiao Chen to tell her stories.

Su Yue sat there in a daze. She lifted Xiaojiao and placed her on her lap. She patted her and said, "Baby Xiaojiao, be good."
