The little girl played with the dog and shook hands with it. The big dog vigorously wagged its tail toward her and lowered its head, begging to be petted. The butler helplessly looked at Su Guobang. “Old Master, this…”
Su Guobang tried his best to control his emotions. He waved his hand and said, “Let’s call it that then.”
The butler was speechless.
Old Master is too out of character…
Su Jiu reached out and hugged the big dog. The dog had obviously been washed and was spotless. When she hugged it, she felt like she were hugging a furry doll.
When the butler saw the little girl getting along well with the dog, he felt a little helpless. He walked to Su Guobang’s side and said, “Old Master, perhaps, Little Miss was fated to meet this dog. Does this mean that the dog doesn’t need to be sent away?”
“Yes,” Su Guobang calmly replied.
The little girl seemed to like this dog very much. If there was something here that she liked, perhaps, she would be willing to come here again. Then, Su Guobang would have more opportunities to see her.
Su Guobang frowned and asked, “Is that kid still outside?”
“Please wait a moment, I’ll go take a look.”
The butler shortly returned after leaving and awkwardly said, “Old Master, Young Master is furious right now. Do you think… we should send Little Miss out?”
“Are you trying to make me yield to him? Impossible!” Su Guobang’s expression darkened. “If that brat is willing to wait outside, then let him wait. It’s up to him. Just don’t let him in. When I want to send the child back, I will do it.”
The butler was speechless.
Old Master, aren’t you afraid that your relationship with Young Master will become worse?
***
The sky gradually darkened, and soon, it was already night. It seemed that Su Shengjing had not come to pick up Su Jiu.
Daddy must’ve known about this already. Based on his personality, he would have immediately rushed over. Therefore, it must be that the old man is not letting him in!
Su Jiu had no choice. When eating dinner, she held her spoon and lowered her head to eat small mouthfuls. She did not say a word and her little head drooped like she could not muster up any energy.
Su Guobang sat at the head of the table and kept staring at her. Sensing that the little girl was unhappy, he asked in a low voice, “Little Jiu, isn’t the food delicious?”
Hearing his voice, the little girl looked up at him. Her big eyes had turned red with tears welling up in them. She looked so pitiful.
The little girl choked. “I, I miss Daddy. I want Daddy…”
When the butler saw this, his heart ached again. It had already been a day, and it was time for Old Master to send Little Miss back. It was almost time for her to go.
After all, Little Miss was still clingy to her father.
However, Su Guobang did not intend to send her back now. He was thinking about sending her tomorrow. Hence, he said to her, “Your father is very busy today and can’t come and fetch you. He will only be free tomorrow.”
Like h*ll I believe you!
Daddy is probably waiting outside now!
The little girl felt wronged. “But Daddy said he would come and pick me up. I want to go home.”
“This is your home. Don’t forget your surname is Su!” Su Guobang firmly said, “Be obedient and stay here tonight. I’ll send you back tomorrow. Otherwise, I won’t let your father pick you up tomorrow.”
Su Jiu was speechless.
Is he threatening a child?!
This is too much!
She knew that she could not reason with this old man. He was not on good terms with her father. Since he told her she would be picked up tomorrow, it would happen tomorrow. His mind probably could not be changed.
Su Jiu did not intend to go against him. Instead, she looked at him and whispered, “Can I call Daddy?”
