Elite Doting Marriage: Crafty Husband, Aloof Cute Wife

“Jiaojiao.” Su Yue had barely closed her eyes when she fluttered her eyelids once more.

Jiao Chen glanced at Su Yue.

Su Yue frowned and asked, “Why didn’t you ask me where I was hurt?”

Jiao Chen replied, “Where is the wound?”

“My chest.” Su Yue pointed at her left chest. She answered, “That tattoo is gone.”

Her awesome cat tattoo that was better than Uncle Ming’s tattoo was gone.

She would feel sad every time she thought of it. But she felt that it might be a good thing that it was gone. That meant that she had nothing to do with Uncle Ming anymore.

Although… she had pure intentions when she first got the tattoo.

But now, their love for each other had made their relationship complicated. The meaning of the tattoo on her chest naturally had changed too.

So, it was a good thing it was gone.

At the thought of it, Su Yue felt as if her wound started to hurt again.

Without a doubt, Jiao Chen should have seen her half-naked photo and her tattoo.

Jiao Chen merely responded as he continued to peel the apple quietly.

Su Yue pouted and complained, “Why do you seem like you don’t care about me at all?”

“Eat the apple.” Jiao Chen passed the peeled apple to Su Yue.

Su Yue gazed at Jiao Chen’s face. He had worn a deadpan expression on his face and there wasn’t any hint of emotions.

She pursed her lips and received the apple. She took a huge bite.

It was warm in the ward and Su Yue was feeling thirsty. Su Yue happily munched the juicy and crunchy apple.

Jiao Chen frowned as he watched her. “Eat slowly.”

“Jiaojiao.” Su Yue glanced at him.

“Huh?” Jiao Chen replied.

Su Yue asked, “Are you nice to other people as well?”

Jiao Chen nodded quietly.

Su Yue took another bite of the apple and waited for his answer.

Jiao Chen quipped, “My mother.”

He smiled and it revealed rows of his straight and pearly-white teeth.

It was a smile that was rarely seen on his face. He was thrilled, and he seemed cheeky too.

It startled Su Yue.

“Your mother must treat you really well?” asked Su Yue.

“Yup.” Jiao Chen nodded and pressed on, “She is nice to all of them.”

“All of them?” It confused Su Yue.

What did he mean by that?

Jiao Chen answered softly, “She works at an orphanage.”

Her mother works at an orphanage and he wasn’t ashamed of her. He sounded as if he was proud of his mother.

Su Yue’s first instinct was to flinch at the mention of the word ‘orphanage’. But she didn’t as she peered at Jiao Chen in a daze. She was puzzled and confused.

“Su Yue, I grew up in an orphanage,” Jiao Chen calmly said as he looked at Su Yue.

He didn’t feel ashamed to reveal that he grew up in an orphanage as well.

Su Yue’s eyes were huge with surprise as she stared at Jiao Chen. He had a huge and wide smile on his face. “Jiaojiao…”

Jiaojiao grew up in an orphanage, too.

But why?

She thought he had a sister?

She had met her sister, and she mentioned that they had a grandmother. So, why would he end up at an orphanage?

Jiao Chen knew exactly what Su Yue was thinking of. He smiled as he softly said, “I’m also an illegitimate son that shouldn’t be seen in public.”

Su Yue was dumbfounded.

She recalled the cryptic words that Jiao Chen had said to her the other day.

‘Su Yue, you’re not the only person in this world…’

So… he was referring to this. He wanted to say that he was an illegitimate child as well.
