Chapter 210: Is She Protecting Me?
Rong Si looked down at the item and saw that it was a bookmark with a red tassel hanging on it. On it was an ink painting of a small town.
Su Jiu smiled and said, “Big Brother, this is a souvenir I bought at the market when I was recording the show. It’s for you!”
Rong Si was surprised. He didn’t expect her to bring him a gift.
Although he had no preferences for such souvenirs, he liked whatever she gave him.
He thought that Su Jiu had bought gifts for just him. It was only when he watched the show a few days later that he found out that she had bought gifts for every father and child. It made him very jealous, and Song Wanqiu had to coax him for a long time before he was appeased.
Rong Si accepted the gift and said to Su Jiu, “Thank you, I like it very much.”
Su Jiu’s smile widened. “As long as you like it!”
Rong Si’s gaze deepened as he looked at her. He carefully placed the bookmark in his bag and planned to keep it in his drawer when he returned.
Then, he took out a strawberry lollipop from his bag and said, “Here.”
Su Jiu happily took it. Although she wasn’t actually a child, how could she reject something like candy?
“Thank you, Big Brother!”
Rong Si opened the packaging for her, and Su Jiu licked the lollipop. The lollipop tasted sweet and sour.
Just then, Su Shengjing came out of the shower. When he saw Su Jiu eating candy, he immediately walked over to her. “Why are you eating candy again? How many times have I told you not to? Don’t cry when your teeth become bad.”
The little girl said in a childish voice, “It’s okay even if I cry because you will coax me!”
Su Shengjing was speechless.
His daughter’s cuteness had rendered him speechless. He could only watch as she continued to eat the lollipop. This little rascal, Rong Si, always gives sweets to her. This mustn’t continue!
Hence, he walked over to Rong Si and looked down at him. “Hey, come out for a while. I have something to say to you.”
Rong Si nodded. His expression was firm, which made him look like a little adult. However, in Su Jiu’s eyes, this side of him contained a hint of childish cuteness.
Without even thinking, Su Jiu knew that her father would definitely not allow the little villain to give her more candies. She said in a serious tone, “Daddy, don’t bully him!”
“…” Su Shengjing’s mouth twitched.
Do I look like someone who would bully a little boy?
When Rong Si heard Su Jiu’s words, the corners of his lips lifted as if he were smiling.
Is Little Jiu protecting me?
The two men, one big and one small, walked to the balcony. As expected, Su Shengjing deliberately lowered his voice and said to Rong Si, “I won’t object if you want to give Little Jiu a present, but don’t give her candy. You don’t want her to have cavities and cry from the pain, right?”
Rong Si looked down and nodded.
Although he felt that it was alright to eat candy once in a while, being safe rather than sorry was better.
He didn’t want to see her cry.
“It’s good that you know.” After saying that, Su Shengjing returned and went to the kitchen to prepare lunch.
He felt rather aggrieved. It was one thing to prepare lunch for his daughter. Why did he also have to prepare lunch for a brat who was after her?
How unreasonable!
As he wished, Rong Si had another meal at their house. When Song Wanqiu returned in the evening, she saw her son sitting in the study and seriously doing his homework. It did not seem like he was in a bad mood like usual. Hence, she knew that he was in a good mood.
Little Jiu has probably returned from filming the show. He saw her, right?
She did not expose him. Instead, she walked to the kitchen to take a look. When she saw that the food she had left in the morning was still there, she guessed that her son must have eaten at Little Jiu’s house again for lunch. No wonder he’s in a good mood.
