Chapter 1698: Feed Me Once and I’ll Kiss You Once (Part One)
She looked like a little elf.
Ming Ansheng listened to all her instructions and nodded.
After she had finished talking, Ming Ansheng asked with a grin, “Shall we go back with Daddy to find Grandmother? It’s Chinese New Year soon.”
Su Yue had just reached the steps when she overheard Ming Ansheng. His words momentarily stumped her before she stole a glance at him.
Going back for Chinese New Year… It had never crossed her mind.
“What is Chinese New Year?” Xiaojiao blinked at Ming Ansheng. She looked confused.
She lived in Country M ever since she was born, so she didn’t know any Chinese festivals and traditions.
Ming Ansheng replied, “It’s the start of the lunar new year in about a month’s time. Will Xiaojiao and Mommy go back with Daddy? There will be delicious food, and Brother Beibei will be there to play with you.”
The girl happily asked, “Is Uncle going to give me a red packet?”
This little lass. Besides being a glutton, she is starting to like money too.
Her eyes were twinkling like crescents. Ming Ansheng nodded and affectionately smiled. “Of course, there will be a red packet for Xiaojiao. Grandmother will give a huge one, too. And she will cook a huge feast with lots of delicious food.”
He succeeded in arousing Xiaojiao’s excitement and interest. Her eyes brightly gleamed at him.
Xiaojiao wanted to go but she hesitated. “Is Mommy going?”
She turned towards Su Yue.
Ming Ansheng replied, “Mommy will go if Xiaojiao is going.”
Xiaojiao forcefully nodded her head. “I want! I want to go!”
Only a fool wouldn’t go and miss out on the red packets and feast.
“Then Mommy will go.” Ming Ansheng smiled slyly to himself before glancing at Su Yue. “Right?”
Su Yue bit her lips and softly replied, “Xiaojiao still has school.”
Ming Ansheng knew she wouldn’t agree so readily. “It’s just for a few days to celebrate together. Xiaojiao hasn’t experienced Chinese New Year in China before.”
“Let’s talk about this again.” Su Yue raised the thermal container and passed it to Ming Ansheng. “I brought you porridge for your breakfast. Go and have your breakfast.”
She diverted the topic on purpose and Ming Ansheng didn’t bug her for an answer.
He was willing to wait. He had waited for so many years, a few more days won’t hurt.
He was willing to wait until she was ready to accept him.
He shouldn’t push her too hard and he knew he had to let go at certain times. Only then would he be able to salvage this relationship.
Ming Ansheng pressed his lips and extended his hand to take the container. He was still carrying Xiaojiao.
He turned around and walked back to his house.
Su Yue followed closely and shut the door after her.
“The pair of pink slippers inside the cupboard is for you,” said Ming Ansheng casually.
Su Yue raised her head and stared blankly ahead. Instinctively, she opened the cupboard and saw a pair of pink slippers.
She couldn’t describe her emotions right now. A mixture of sweetness, bitterness…
She bent her back and noticed two more pairs of shoes. A pair of tiny pink slippers and a pair of fluffy slippers.
It was for Xiaojiao.
Ming Ansheng’s slippers were placed next to it. And on the upper shelf was a pair of shiny leather shoes.
Pairs of huge and tiny shoes.
