As it was inappropriate for her to keep refusing Song Wanqiu’s kindness, Su Jiu blinked and asked, “Can I eat with Big Brother?”
“Of course.” Song Wanqiu patted her head. “I’ll get you a spoon.”
After passing the spoons to the kids, Song Wanqiu busied herself in the kitchen. When she saw the heartwarming scene of Su Jiu and Rong Si eating dessert together, she could not help but smile.
When the kids were almost done eating, Su Shengjing came over to look for Su Jiu. Seeing cream all over Su Jiu’s mouth, he clicked his tongue. “I was wondering why you hadn’t come back. So you’re here secretly eating a cake?”
“I’m not eating it secretly. Daddy, I left some for you. Look!” Su Jiu pointed at the two desserts on the plate. “One is Daddy’s and the other is Auntie’s.”
Surprised that Su Jiu had saved some cake for her too, Song Wanqiu smiled.
Daughters are so thoughtful, especially a sweet little girl like Su Jiu!
“Really? At least you have some conscience left in you.” Su Shengjing flicked the little girl’s nose and stretched his arms out to carry her. “But I don’t like sweet food. Let your Auntie and Rong Si eat it.”
“Daddy, you don’t like sweet things? Then, I’ll eat all the sweet things you buy in the future.”
Su Shengjing laughed. “You can’t eat so much sugar. Be careful to protect your teeth. When they start to ache, you’ll definitely cry.”
As Rong Si listened to the conversation by the side, he suddenly remembered that Little Jiu liked to eat candies. It’ll be great if there are candies that won’t harm her teeth.
He secretly made up his mind. I will definitely study hard and invent such candies in the future.
While Rong Si reluctantly watched Su Shengjing and Su Jiu leave, Song Wanqiu stifled a chuckle.
Looks like Little Jiu is special to Ah Si. He likes her.
I also like that little girl a lot. If she can become my daughter-in-law one day, how great will that be! I’ll be overjoyed every day.

The next afternoon, Su Shengjing and Sheng Tianci arrived at the kindergarten early to fetch the kids.
As Su Shengjing stared at the entrance of the kindergarten, he repeatedly took out his phone to check the time. School is ending in five minutes, but why does it feel so long?
Sheng Tianci teased him. “I think you’ve really become a slave to your daughter. You’ll see her in five minutes, so why are you in such a hurry?”
Su Shengjing scoffed. “You don’t even have a daughter. Who are you to say that to me?”
Sheng Tianci was speechless.
I feel attacked again! This is too much!
Finally, the school bell rang, and led by the teachers, the kids walked out of their classrooms in orderly rows. They jumped into their parents’ arms like baby birds.
On spotting Little Jiu, Su Shengjing immediately got out of the car.
However, the moment he got out of the car, he acutely sensed something. After all, his previous experience as a top celebrity had sharpened his senses. He spun around and glanced at a tree beside the road.
Someone was hiding there. When this person saw Su Shengjing looking over at him, he immediately hid behind a tree.
Su Shengjing frowned. My instincts tell me that he’s a paparazzi. And he’s not alone.
It was not strange for paparazzi to appear here. After all, many people in the kindergarten recognized Su Jiu, and the principal and teachers were her fans. It was very likely that they had leaked the news of her attending this kindergarten.
Although they probably did not mean any harm, Su Shengjing did not want his daughter’s personal life to receive too much attention. The exposure she had gotten through the show was enough.
He walked into the kindergarten and carried Su Jiu. Pressing her head against his chest, he warned her, “Darling, don’t look up. Someone is filming us.”
