Did he forget to wake up?

Su Yue coaxed Xiaojiao and said, “Daddy woke up really early today.”

Xiaojiao nodded and continued to brush her teeth.

Xiaojiao stood on a high stool next to Su Yue as they brushed their teeth in front of a mirror.

After brus.h.i.+ng their teeth and was.h.i.+ng up, Su Yue carried Xiaojiao out of the room. The first thing she did was to glance at Jiao Chen’s room.

His door was shut.

He was still sleeping?

These few days, he had been busy with the orphanage and his job at the school. He must be exhausted.

Her heart went out to him, and she trod lightly across the living room.

“Daddy is too tired and he went back to sleep. So Xiaojiao, let’s be quiet alright? Mommy will make breakfast for you now.”

She was afraid that Xiaojiao would be too loud and might disturb Jiao Chen’s sleep. So, she placed her down and gave her a firm instruction.

Xiaojiao obediently nodded. “Okay. I will be quiet.”

She stretched her hands and picked up a monkey pillow on the sofa. She hugged the monkey and pressed her lips against it.

She sealed her lips so that she wouldn’t disturb her daddy.

Su Yue was pleased to see how sensible Xiaojiao was. She stroked her hair before going to the kitchen.

She was startled when she entered the kitchen.

There was a post-it note on the refrigerator.

“Susu, A University invited me for a microchip testing. I will be away for the next few days. Bring Xiaojiao over to stay with your third brother for the next few days.”

He wrote a short message to inform her of his work trip. But Su Yue’s heart felt as heavy as a rock.

She crumpled the post-it note in her hand.

Why did he have such a sudden work trip? He didn’t mention anything yesterday.

Su Yue turned around and left the kitchen. She strode to Jiao Chen’s room and opened the door.

The curtains were drawn and the bed was neat and tidy.

Jiao Chen was a tidy person who loved cleanliness. He had a habit of drawing the curtains and making his bed every morning. So, Su Yue had no idea what time had Jiaojiao left.

She closed the door behind her, and she peered around the living room. It was weird not to see Jiao Chen walking around with an ap.r.o.n around his waist. Her heart sank once more.

Jiaojiao had really become one of her habits.

He had always greeted her in the morning before he left for work or school.

This was the first time he had left abruptly, without informing her in advance.

“Mommy.”

Xiaojiao stared at Su Yue for a long time as she stood outside Jiao Chen’s room. Xiaojiao blinked her eyes.

Su Yue smiled. “Breakfast will be ready soon.”

She returned to her room to get her phone and walked out as she dialed Jiao Chen’s number.

The call got through and a lovely song sounded.

‘Ten miles of a spring breeze couldn’t be compared to you… I had to suppress this love in my heart… Time will reveal my love… and it will give meaning to my longing… Ten miles of a spring breeze couldn’t be compared to you… I had to suppress this love in my heart… The setting sun can attest to my love, for I have fallen for you…’

Su Yue was surprised when she heard the song.

She glanced at the number, wondering if she had dialed wrongly.

After making sure that it was indeed Jiaojiao’s number, she broke into a grin.

This fellow had chosen this song as his caller ring-back tone.

‘Ten miles of a spring breeze couldn’t be compared to you… I had to suppress this love in my heart… The setting sun can attest to my love.’

She placed the phone to her ear and the song played again.

Jiao Chen didn’t answer, and Su Yue furrowed her eyebrows. She was about to end the call when the call got through.
