1239 It Isn’t Embarrassing to Admit That You Like Someone Part Five (2/2)

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.
