An Yuan’s smile deepened. She reached out and pulled Su Jiu in front of her. “It doesn’t matter if it’s a boy. There’s no rule that says girls can be friends with only girls. It’s okay to be friends with boys. Besides, even if you have a boy you like, it’s fine. Mommy won’t be angry.”
Su Jiu was speechless.
Is Mom really so open-minded?
An Yuan lowered her voice and continued, “However, if it’s a date with a boy, you have to tell me who it is. Otherwise, Mommy will be worried. Tell me! Which boy do you want to go shopping with? Do I know him?”
Su Jiu nodded. “It’s Rong Si.”
“Rong Si?” The name stunned An Yuan. “Isn’t he studying in the south? He’s back?”
It’s a long story.
“Mom, I’ll tell you everything when I have time. I’m preparing to go out now. If it’s okay, I’ll leave now.”
Seeing how eager the girl was, An Yuan felt a little helpless. She pinched her little face. “Okay, go ahead.” An Yuan trusted Rong Si’s character. Although that child was a little quiet, he was really good to Little Jiu. She did not need to worry that he would do anything to hurt Su Jiu. Before leaving, Su Jiu suddenly thought of something. She quickly turned back to An Yuan and said, “Mom, help me say hi to Dad and tell him that I miss him. Also, you have to keep what happened just now a secret. Don’t tell Dad. I’m afraid he will get angry.”
An Yuan chuckled. “Okay, I won’t tell him. But you have to come back soon. You know that your father doesn’t like you staying outside for too long. He’ll be worried for you.”
“Got it! I’ll be back early.”
“That’s good. Off you go then! Let the chauffeur drive you.”
Su Jiu nodded. Shouldering her bag, she then left the house.
An Yuan stood at the door and watched her girl’s back. She could not help but smile.
She’s in such a hurry to meet Rong Si. Does she like him?
Su Shengjing had clearly said that before Little Jiu went to university, he would not allow her to date. Even if Su Jiu entered a university, if she wanted to date, she would have to let him assess the boy first. He would allow it only if he felt that the boy was acceptable. An Yuan was not that strict. Relationships in high school were so beautiful. They were young, sweet, simple, and pure. There were none of the complications that came with adulthood. If Little Jiu really has a boy she likes now, if she can experience this young love, that will be good.
An Yuan only hoped that Rong Si was really someone that Little Jiu liked.
***
Rong Si arranged to meet Su Jiu at the shopping mall in the city center. This confused Su Jiu. Wasn’t he going to find a house?
Why did he ask me to meet him there?
However, the little villain definitely has his reasons for doing so. Su Jiu did not ask further and told the chauffeur to drive her to the shopping mall. When the car was still a distance away from the destination, Su Jiu saw him.
Rong Si was wearing a simple white shirt and khaki pants today. A pair of black canvas shoes graced his feet. He was tall and straight, with perfect proportions, much taller than the boys who passed by him. On top of that, he had a cold and noble aura. Even if he wore ordinary clothes, he looked much better than the average person. This young man could totally walk on a runway. Once again, Su Jiu felt that her child was really hardworking. Not only was he healthy, but he was even more handsome than he was in childhood!
His aura permeated the area, so even though he was wearing a mask that covered most of his face, he still attracted the attention of many girls around him.
