Elite Doting Marriage: Crafty Husband, Aloof Cute Wife

Su Yue bent her back to lift Xiaojiao. She kissed her cheek and asked, “Were you a good girl today? Did you listen to grandmother?”

Su Xiaojiao nodded. “I did. Xiaojiao is a good girl.”

“Good girl, Xiaojiao.” Su Yue kissed her once more.

She placed her back on the couch once more.

“Mommy, I miss Daddy,” suddenly said Su Xiaojiao.

She raised her head to look at Su Yue, and her eyes seemed to glisten.

Su Yue gently stroked her hair and said, “Daddy is coming back soon. Be good alright?”

She gazed at Su Xiaojiao quietly for some time.

Xiaojiao was close to Jiao Chen, even more than her.

Jiao Chen likes to read a book at the balcony on weekends, but the girl would pester him by climbing on top of him. She would lie on his chest to stop him from reading.

That was how she took her afternoon nap—Jiao Chen would rock her in the rocking chair. They would bask in the warm sunlight as the girl gradually doze off.

Jiao Chen would always keep his arm around the girl for fear that she might fall off the chair. He doted on her.

Every time Su Yue saw him doing that, she would feel blissful and grateful.

She couldn’t thank Jiao Chen enough in this lifetime.

He was so forgiving, gracious, protective, and understanding towards her.

She always wondered why would there be such a kind and a perfect person on Earth?

He had no flaws at all; he was simply perfect.

Sometimes she would blame herself for keeping him by her side. He was so wonderful and he deserved a better woman.

But he chose to stay by her, without asking for anything in return—just like a fool.

Gradually, they got so used to each other and the peaceful life they led in Country M. They were happy.

So, she couldn’t understand why he chose to return. He had already applied for S University.

He could work and take his Ph.D. at the same time.

“Yueyue. You’re home?”

Mu Li came down the stairs and waved at her.

Su Yue glanced at Mu Li and smiled. “Yeah.”

“Your third sister-in-law should be back home soon,” Mu Li said before she entered the dining room.

Su Yue glanced at Su Xiaojiao and Yan Wenxin once more.

She didn’t respond as she strode to the stairs.

She changed her clothes and washed her face.

Her room remained the same, just like four years ago. Su Yue’s eyes darted around.

She sat on the edge of the bed and picked up a photo with her and Xuxu on it. She smiled to herself as she looked at it.

She wiped the dust off the photo and placed it back.

She opened a drawer and a blue box caught her eye.

‘Su Yue, happy birthday! Hope you don’t mind this small present.’

A girl who was once her best friend came to mind. She was just like her who once felt small and ostracized.

She had often thought of her in these four years. She even thought of visiting her.

But she felt that they had broken their friendship. Even if they put the past behind them, things would never be the same.

So as long as she was leading a good life, it didn’t matter if they didn’t keep in touch.
