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

nJiao Chen glanced at Su Yue.

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

nJiao Chen replied, “Where is the wound?”

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

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

nShe 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.

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

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

nSo, it was a good thing it was gone.

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

nWithout a doubt, Jiao Chen should have seen her half-naked photo and her tattoo.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

n“Jiaojiao.” Su Yue glanced at him.

n“Huh?” Jiao Chen replied.

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

nJiao Chen nodded quietly.

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

nJiao Chen quipped, “My mother.”

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

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

nIt startled Su Yue.

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

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

n“All of them?” It confused Su Yue.

nWhat did he mean by that?

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

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

nSu 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.

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

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

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

nJiaojiao grew up in an orphanage, too.

nBut why?

nShe thought he had a sister?

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

nJiao 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.”

nSu Yue was dumbfounded.

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

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

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