Elite Doting Marriage: Crafty Husband, Aloof Cute Wife

Ming Ansheng hesitated before walking towards the couch.

He sat down next to Su Yue.

“Do you want water?” Su Yue placed the magazine down and asked Ming Ansheng.

Ming Ansheng shook his head and replied, “It’s fine.”

He intertwined his fingers gracefully, with his elbows resting on his thighs. He appeared to be looking at Beibei and Xiaojiao, but his attention and thoughts were with Su Yue.

During these four years that she was overseas, he felt that mountains and oceans separated them. She was so far from him.

But right now, she was sitting next to him. But then, he felt that the distance between them didn’t diminish at all.

She was right next to him, but he couldn’t let her know how much he missed her.

He couldn’t hug or touch her.

Ming Ansheng’s intertwined fingers tightened and loosened repeatedly.

Suddenly, she stood up. A whiff of a familiar scent assailed his nose and it consumed him entirely.

He raised his head to peer at her. “Yueyue.”

He had blurted out unconsciously.

Su Yue bent her head to look at him.

Ming Ansheng pressed his lips, and he appeared nervous. “Can you…”

He hesitated as though the words were stuck in his throat.

“Uncle Ming?” Su Yue glanced at Ming Ansheng and she looked puzzled.

She still called him ‘Uncle Ming’, but he didn’t feel surprised.

That was how she addressed him when they first met.

When she came back, she didn’t deliberately avoid nor distanced herself from him. And that was why he was disappointed.

It was as if nothing had happened between them. But then, everything had already changed completely.

Ming Ansheng fell silent and finally mustered his courage. “Can you sit with me for a while?”

Just for a while.

It had become a kind of luxury for him to hope that she would sit quietly next to him.

He didn’t know how to make her stay years ago, nor did he know how to fight for her.

Before he came to any decisions, he always weighed the pros and cons.

He had no idea that love was immeasurable.

If you treasured love, then it will stay with you for a lifetime.

If you treat it lightly, it will leave you without a trace.

And it will drown you in regrets and agony.

So, Su Yue was his love.

Although he knew that his love for Su Yue and Meiduo was different, he assumed that he would be able to get over her as time went by.

But it had never crossed his mind that after four years his love for her would unexpectedly deepen.

True love was so painful.

He regretted how he didn’t grab and stop her from leaving. Even if she had to become a stepmother to his son, he could still love and dote on her like his beloved child.

“I’ll get you a cup of water.”

Su Yue deliberated before saying.

She turned around and walked to the water dispenser. She took the cup to Ming Ansheng.

Her hands were still so slender and fair. Her fingernails had a healthy pinkish tinge to it.

Ming Ansheng’s heart seemed to have softened at the sight of her hands.

He silently received the cup of water without thanking her. He felt that there wasn’t a need for formalities between them.

Su Yue sat down again, looking perfectly normal. After these years, she had matured and she became more refined and graceful.

Ming Ansheng turned to her. “Are you staying here with Xiaojiao?”

Actually, he ended work late each night. But he would still detour to the apartment and it had become a habit.

So, he knew where they were staying at the moment.

He didn’t know how to start a conversation, but he really wanted to.
