172 They Took It as Soon as They Saw It
After a while, Su Su came out with a tray full of cookies. The cookies were golden and crisp, giving off an alluring smell. Su Jun was in the living room when Su Su greeted him happily, “Big Brother, try some of my cookies!”
Su Su looked at Luo Chen and felt she shouldn’t be stingy with her cookies, so she offered, “You can have some too, Luo Chen!”
Su Jun and Luo Chen stretched their hands out, wanting to take a piece. They coincidentally grabbed the same heart-shaped cookie that Su Su placed in the middle of the tray.
When Luo Chen touched Su Jun’s hand, he shrunk back and smiled modestly, “You try one first, Big Brother.”
Veins appeared on Su Jun’s forehead. No matter what, this kid was always an eyesore to Su Jun. Luo Chen made it seem like the heart-shaped cookie was specifically made for him but offered it to Su Jun instead.
Su Jun took the cookie and tasted it. The milky fragrance and sweetness filled his mouth. It was delicious even for Su Jun, who didn’t enjoy sweet foods. He patted Su Su’s head and praised, “It’s delicious, Su Su! I like it very much, and I can tell that you’ve worked hard on these.”
Su Su felt a sense of accomplishment when Su Jun said that. Her big brother praised her so much that she couldn’t stop smiling. Su Su’s adorable appearance resembled a doll that walked out of a painting.
Luo Chen then ate a piece and said doubtfully, “It’s truly delicious! How did you make these, Su Su? The cookie is better than what I usually have.”
Whenever Su Su spoke, Luo Chen would continue asking questions. The two chatted back and forth, but Su Jun couldn’t get a word in edgewise.
Luo Chen had interrupted the interaction between Su Jun and Su Su. Looking at the two chatting happily, Su Jun sat quietly on the sidelines as a sense of sourness welled up in his heart.
Luo Chen felt an icy gaze on the back of his head when he started chatting with Su Su. He turned around and saw the gloomy-looking Su Jun exuding a malicious aura, looking utterly dissatisfied.
Luo Chen was stunned, but he immediately understood what was going on. He knew that Su Jun doted on Su Su. The little girl’s big brother would become unhappy if Luo Chen and Su Su talked for too long.
Luo Chen would quit whenever things were looking good. He still needed the Su family’s help and knew that it wasn’t worth it to annoy Su Jun. After chatting with Su Su for a long while, Luo Chen said, “I still have some matters to tend to at my office. I shall come and revisit you in the future.”
‘You’re finally leaving!’ Su Jun felt relieved. But immediately after, Su Jun recalled Luo Chen mentioning he would revisit the Su family. He started to feel a headache coming on.
No matter how uneasy Su Jun felt about Luo Chen, he was still a nine-year-old boy on the surface. Su Jun felt that he shouldn’t be bothered with a child since he was an adult. It would be too sullen for Su Jun.
Luo Chen politely thanked the Su family members for their hospitality and prepared to leave with Sheng Qing. However, Su Su called out to him, “L-Luo Chen, wait!”
