Su Shengjing had no choice but to suppress his laughter and retract his words. “Alright, alright! Daddy was wrong. Baby didn’t eat that much for dinner. It was Daddy that ate a lot.”
“Auntie Song, did you hear that? Daddy ate a lot, so I can eat strawberry cake!”
Song Wanqiu burst into laughter at Su Jiu’s cuteness. She handed the strawberry cake to her and said, “I see. Hurry and eat then, Little Jiu! It won’t be good if you get hungry.”
“Auntie is so nice!” Su Jiu happily received the cake slice and pretended to be resentful as she glanced at Su Shengjing.
Su Shengjing was speechless.
Baby, I said I was wrong! Please forgive me already!
Su Jiu sat down beside the cake table and warmly invited the little villain. “Big Brother, shall we eat together?”
Rong Si walked over to her and sat down beside her. He watched her take a bite and close her eyes in bliss. He picked up a spoon himself and dug a small piece as well.
The cake was really sweet.
Su Jiu took another bite and savored the sweet strawberry flavor. She did not forget about the feelings of the little villain. “Big Brother, is it delicious?”
“Delicious,” Rong Si answered without hesitation. For some reason, every time he ate with Little Jiu, the food was always especially delicious.
Perhaps, it’s because I’m in a good mood?
Little Jiu seemed to know magic. When people saw her, their mood would improve.
“Then you should eat more. Look, you’ve lost weight,” as Su Jiu said this, her heart felt heavy. It seemed as if the little villain could not gain weight no matter what. There was only a little more meat on him than there had been when they had first met.
Unlike him, she had gained a lot of weight in a short period after finding her father; her face had become round. Yet, she could not control her appetite. Her father also felt that she had been too thin before and always made delicious food for her, wanting to make her fair and plump.
Su Jiu looked at her chubby hands and suddenly started to think about her body. She asked Rong Si with a bitter and deep expression, “Brother, do you think I’m fat?”
Rong Si was stunned.
Fat?
Does Little Jiu not think that she looks very cute when she’s chubby? Why is she concerned about becoming fat?
Rong Si seriously said his true feelings out loud, “No.”
“Really? Don’t you think that my face is very round?” Su Jiu cupped her face with her two small hands and stared at him with her big black eyes, waiting for his answer.
In Rong Si’s eyes, she looked adorable right now. It was unfortunate that she did not realize this. She exuded cuteness from head to toe, making him helpless.
“Really, I’m not lying to you,” Rong Si said as his ears turned slightly red. He added with an unnatural expression, “You’re very cute.”
“Then I’m happy!” After she received praise from the little villain, Su Jiu’s mood instantly became better. She no longer had any worries and continued to eat the cake with relish.
Rong Si didn’t eat much. Most of the time, he watched her eat as if that were enough.
When Song Wanqiu saw this heartwarming scene, she couldn’t help but pick up her phone and take a few photos. After returning home, she showed them to Rong Si, and the little guy insisted on printing them out.
Song Wanqiu knew what he was thinking, so she got all the photos printed and bought a photo album to put them in.
These photos where he was in the same frame as Su Jiu became Rong Si’s prized possessions.
