Chapter 1693: Opening Her Heart to Him Once More (Part Sixteen)

It was a simple wish, but an impossible dream for some children.

Su Yue pressed her lips and stretched her hand out to rub her head. “Good girl.”

They returned to the bed. Su Yue laid down beside Xiaojiao, propping her head up with an arm. She patted the little lass’ chest gently.

The little girl fell asleep quickly, but Su Yue didn’t have any signs of tiredness.

She stared at Xiaojiao as she slept peacefully. From her long eyelashes to her smooth face, everything about her seemed perfect.

How could her innocent and child-like world have any flaws?

Suddenly, the darkest part of her heart seemed to brighten.

It was as though a rusted door had been opened.

She sat up and flipped open the blanket, before putting on her slippers and standing up.

She walked a few steps and stopped. She turned around to look at Xiaojiao, who was fast asleep, with determination in her eyes.

…

She pushed open the door and it was as though she had stepped into another world.

Su Yue shivered at the sudden change in temperature. She hugged herself and retracted her neck.

She closed the door gently and ran out of the courtyard.

The snow had covered all the neighboring courtyards. It was so quiet that she could only hear the rushing of the wind.

‘Cough, cough…’

Su Yue stood at the man’s door, but she didn’t have the courage to take a step further.

She lowered her head and bit her lip. She rubbed her hands, perhaps because she was cold, or because she was nervous.

Suddenly, she heard the man coughing from inside the house. Her heart clenched as she gazed through the window. It was pitch black.

Then she heard another series of coughs, more serious than the previous.

‘Aish!’ Su Yue sighed and gritted her teeth. She stretched out her hand and pressed the doorbell without hesitation.

But nobody came to open the door after a long time, and nobody replied to her.

She pressed it again, but still, nobody opened the door.

He couldn’t hear it?

Su Yue frowned and looked through the window. It was pitch black inside. She could hear his coughs so clearly. Could he really have missed the doorbell?

She refused to give up. She prepared to press the doorbell again when the door opened.

Su Yue stared at him in shock. “Why are you wearing so little?”

Ming Ansheng was shirtless and he was only in a pair of underwear. When he opened the door, he had one hand on the doorknob and leaned weakly against the doorframe.

Su Yue hurriedly entered and dragged him into the house.

She found the light switch and reached to turn the lights on.

But the tall man suddenly flew at her and hugged her waist. He pinned her against the wall. “Yueyue… I’m sick. can you hug me?”

Ming Ansheng’s body was scorching.

His voice was nasal and weak.

This was the first time he was acting in a cute way, asking for her love and attention.

Su Yue’s heart melted, and she couldn’t help but wrap her arms around him. Her icy-cold face pressed against his burning body. “Uncle Ming…”

Her voice was soft like a cat’s meow, and he was instantly filled with a raging fire of desire.
