Noticing Sheng Zhiyan’s unhappy expression, Su Jiu quickly clarified her words. “I didn’t mean to ignore you. It’s just that today is my first day in kindergarten, so I’m a little nervous. Don’t get angry.”
Su Jiu’s coaxing immediately improved Sheng Zhiyan. He confidently assured her. “Little Jiu, don’t be nervous. I will protect you. No one will dare to bully you!”
Su Jiu sweetly smiled. “Okay! Thank you, Big Brother.”
Sheng Zhiyan’s eyes sparkled.
Ah! Little Jiu is so cute.
When the group reached the kindergarten, Su Shengjing sent Su Jiu to the entrance. With eyes full of reluctance, he watched her step inside the kindergarten with Sheng Zhiyan.
A teacher came out to pick Su Jiu and told her to bid goodbye to Su Shengjing. Su Jiu turned around and waved at her father. “Goodbye, Daddy!”
Su Shengjing smiled and waved back at her. “Bye, darling. Be a good girl. I’ll pick you up after school.”
“Okay!”
Su Shengjing watched as the teacher held Su Jiu’s hand and entered the classroom. Suddenly, he felt a lump in his throat, and his eyes reddened.
What’s going on? Why do I feel like my daughter is getting married?
He had only spent a short while with Su Jiu before she had to leave him to attend kindergarten. After so many days of staying together, he was not used to being separated from her.
It would’ve been great if he had stayed by her side from the moment she was born. That way, he could’ve spent more time with her.
Sheng Tianci noticed his friend’s reddened eyes as he stared at the classroom. Then, he patted his shoulder and asked, “You can’t bear to leave her now? You’d be bawling when she grows up and marries someone.”
Su Shengjing immediately retorted, “Marry someone? I won’t let that happen!”
“Are you serious? Won’t you be interfering with her life? She will eventually grow up, marry someone, and leave your side. Although I really want a daughter like Little Jiu, the thought of her getting married in the future makes my heart ache.”
Su Shengjing was filled with indignation. “She won’t move away after marrying. I’ll just ask my son-in-law to live with us.”
“Good idea!” Sheng Tianci moved closer to him and flashed a sly smile. “Recruit my nephew. I would be very happy to let him live with you.”
“Forget it! He’s just a silly boy.” Su Shengjing glared at Sheng Tianci. “Also, if you want a daughter, have one yourself. Stop being so obsessed with mine.”
Sheng Tianci pouted. “I wish! But I need to find a woman who’s willing to have a child with me.”
“Ha! You’re the picky one. Your parents have introduced you to so many women, but you don’t like any of them.”
“Choosing a marriage partner is not like buying groceries. I have to spend the rest of my life together with her, so I cannot treat this matter too casually!” Sheng Tianci righteously rebuked him. “Wait! Why do you have the cheek to criticize me? Look at yourself! Haven’t you always been single? You’re in the same boat as me. What right do you have to criticize me?”
Su Shengjing glanced at him. “I’m in a much better situation than you. I have a daughter, but you don’t.”
Sheng Tianci was speechless.
F*ck! Why does this bastard always manage to attack me where it hurts the most?
Su Shengjing did not leave. Instead, he hid behind the bushes beside the kindergarten and peeked inside. Sheng Tianci could not stand it anymore and entered the car first.
When some people passed by Su Shengjing, they turned around to stare at him.
Why is he acting so sneakily like a thief?
He’s probably the father of a child who has just attended kindergarten. That’s a relief! I’ve seen many parents like this.
