Chapter 1068: As Expected of the Man She Liked
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“Since he’s not accepted for the role, he’ll be forgotten quickly. He could only try to seize the opportunity to work with you now and gain as much popularity from this. In any case, as long as it’s popular, the sponsors behind it will like it.”
In that case, Xia Yi had a motive.
After hanging up, Su Jiu looked at the butler again. “Uncle Butler, please check again if that security guard was instructed by someone and see if he or his family suddenly received a large sum of money.”
The butler nodded. “Very well, Young Lady. I will see to it immediately.”
After the butler left, Su Guobang looked at Su Jiu with relief. “Little Jiu, it’s good that you thought of this. Grandpa will support you in whatever you want to do.”!!
“Thank you, Grandpa!” Su Jiu smiled and reached out to give him a big hug.
This sudden hug made Su Guobang’s heart bloom. Ever since Little Jiu had grown up, she had rarely hugged him like this. Now that she hugged him, it felt even more pleasant than when he had negotiated a business deal worth billions or even tens of billions.
He patted Su Jiu’s back. “Good girl. Be careful in the future. Don’t let those people with ill intentions take advantage of you.”
“I know, Grandpa. But with you and Mom and Dad protecting me, I’m not afraid of anything.” Su Jiu proudly raised her chin.
Looking at her cute appearance, Su Guobang smiled until the wrinkles on his face relaxed. He flicked her forehead and said, “Of course! As long as Grandpa is still alive, I’ll help you carry even the sky!”
Su Jiu’s heart warmed as she hugged him harder. “Grandpa is so good.”
Su Guobang was grinning from ear to ear. Rong Si watched this from the side. Even though he knew that this person was her grandfather, he still felt a little suffocated.
He didn’t want to see her so close to another man. He also wanted to be like her family and be able to hug her openly.
After leaving the Su family’s old residence and getting into the car to go home, Su Jiu suddenly realized that the little villain had not spoken other than bidding farewell to her grandfather out of courtesy. Could he be angry again?
But what did he have to be angry about?
Su Jiu stole a glance at him and saw that he had one hand under his chin and was looking sideways out of the window. From her angle, Su Jiu could see the lovely curve of his jaw, the high bridge of his nose, and his long and thick eyelashes. He was flawless.
Except that he seemed preoccupied with his thoughts.
Su Jiu’s heart skipped a beat. Then, she sat closer to him and tentatively, “What’s wrong, dear brother? Who made you unhappy again?”
Rong Si’s heart did feel a little tight. However, when he heard her call him dear little brother in a soft voice, his heart skipped a beat. It was as if all his pent-up emotions had suddenly vanished.
Only she had the ability to accomplish such a thing.
Resigned, he turned back to meet her wide, clear eyes. “No one made me unhappy.”
“Was it me? Let me guess. Did I neglect you because I was busy talking to Grandpa just now?” Su Jiu said as she pinched his cheeks.
She couldn’t help but sigh. As expected of the man she liked! His skin was so good that he could advertise for skincare products without needing a beauty filter!
Rong Si took her hand and seriously said, “What if I said… yes?”
Su Jiu blinked, then burst out laughing. “No way, no way! You were jealous because of that?”
“But I was really jealous because of that.”
Looking into his deep eyes, Su Jiu felt her heart soften.
She wanted to tease him, so she leaned closer to him and whispered into his lips, “Why are you jealous? If you want to have me, then have me.”
