“No,” he coldly refused.
The director was a little surprised. “Why not? Filming is fun, and you can get paid. Why don’t you give it a try?”
“No,” Rong Si straightforwardly replied.
As a director with a little fame, the director felt a little uncomfortable to be rejected outright like that without any hesitation. Moreover, this child seemed to be rejecting his entire person.
However, he did not want to miss out on such a handsome kid who he could definitely groom into a child star. The director indignantly continued, “Little kid, I’m giving you money for this. Don’t you want it? Give it a try. Maybe you’ll like acting?”
Su Jiu could see that the little villain had a cold expression; she could tell that he did not like this director. Puffing up her cheeks, she said to the director in a serious tone, “Uncle, if Big Brother says that he won’t, then he won’t. You can’t make things difficult for him!”
The moment she opened her mouth, the director choked and could not say anything else.
After all, this little girl was Su Shengjing’s precious daughter, and Su Shengjing was the male lead. If he made the little girl unhappy, it would be equivalent to making Su Shengjing unhappy. That would be troublesome.
Su Shengjing’s popularity was guaranteed, and the director could not wait to suck up to him. Moreover, the best way to suck up to him was to suck up to the little girl, so the director could only give up. He laughed dryly and said, “Alright, alright, whatever Little Jiu says.”
Rong Si glanced at Su Jiu and the corner of his lips seemed to curl up.
Little Jiu is protecting me again.

Su Shengjing went off to the shooting and asked Su Jiu to stay in the actors’ lounge. Although Su Jiu was curious about everything on the set and wanted to go out to explore, she did not go anywhere and obediently waited for Su Shengjing to return. She was afraid that her father would be worried if he returned and found her missing, so she could only wait for him in the lounge.
Rong Si didn’t go anywhere as well and stayed with her.
He did not forget that he had to look after Little Jiu.
Su Jiu admired her baby’s exquisite face from a close distance and curiously asked, “Big Brother, when is your birthday?”
Rong Si was stunned, not expecting her to suddenly ask him this. He thought of something and looked down, his long eyelashes slightly covering his eyes. “I don’t like birthdays.”
Huh?
Su Jiu hurriedly asked, “Why?”
“I just don’t like it.” The little villain lowered his voice and even turned to look out the window as if he had thought of something bad.
He vaguely remembered that on his birthday two years ago, his mother had personally made a very beautiful cake for him. She had even put candles in it and was waiting for his father to come back to celebrate his birthday with him.
Rong Si had also been looking forward to it at the time, but Rong Cheng came back only in the evening. He had forgotten Rong Si’s birthday and remembered it only after Song Wanqiu reminded him. Rong Cheng had apologized to him and helped him light the candles.
Just when Rong Si thought that he could celebrate his birthday with his parents, Rong Cheng had received a call. His expression had drastically changed after he heard the person on the other side of the call, and he immediately left his seat.
After the call ended, Rong Cheng told Song Wanqiu that he had something urgent to attend to and had to deal with it immediately. Then he left in a hurry without looking back.
Initially, both Rong Si and his mother thought that there had been something urgent at the company. However, when his mother argued with Rong Cheng later on, they found out that he had received a call from that bad woman that day. That woman had said that her child was sick and wanted Rong Cheng to immediately visit her, and he had gone to her without a word.
