“Because I’m still sad…” Su Jiu’s eyes were filled with tears as she sobbed. “Daddy, don’t scare me like this again… Otherwise, I’ll get angry!”

There was no need to mention how much Su Shengjing regretted this stunt now. He should not have accepted the production team’s arrangement in a moment of passion. He had not been willing to pretend to be old to begin with. He had just been curious about Little Jiu’s reaction.

If he knew that she would have such a reaction, he would have definitely not agreed to this.

Flustered, he wiped his daughter’s tears and apologized to her. “Little Jiu, it’s Daddy’s fault. Daddy shouldn’t have scared you. I’m sorry! Can you stop crying?”

Su Jiu did not say anything. She just reached out and hugged Su Shengjing tightly. Burying her head in his arms, she choked out. “Why do people get old? If only they didn’t. I don’t want to see Daddy get old… I want Daddy to be young forever and stay by my side forever…”

As she thought of this, she couldn’t help but think that one day, her father would grow old and even leave her forever. She felt even more afraid and uncomfortable.

She couldn’t stop crying.

The heavens had given her, an orphan, a chance to be reborn. They had even given her such a good father and a complete family. She should be satisfied and should not ask for more. However, the better her father and her family were, the more greedy she was and the more she did not want to lose them…

Therefore, it would be great if they would not be separated in this world.

But how was that possible?

However, she really could not imagine that day coming. She had not thought about it before, and she did not dare to think about it now.

When Su Shengjing heard Su Jiu’s cries, his heart ached.

Especially since the front of his shirt was wet from her tears. It broke his heart.

At this moment, he suddenly thought that if one day he grew old, died, and left Little Jiu forever, she would definitely cry even more and break down.

But when that time came, he would no longer be able to hug her and comfort her as he could now.

When this thought came to his mind, his throat suddenly felt choked. He had originally prepared a series of comforting words for Su Jiu, but now, he could not say anything.

He pursed his lips and hugged Su Jiu tightly. His throat moved before he said, “Little Jiu, don’t worry! Daddy will work hard to live longer and try to spend more time with you. Even if you’ve grown up, Daddy is still the most worried about you in this world. How can he bear to die so quickly?”

Su Jiu quickly interrupted him. “Don’t say the word ‘die’! Daddy won’t die!”

Su Shengjing laughed and stroked her hair. “Silly girl, you’re already a big girl, yet you’re still so childish.”

“No! If I say you won’t, then you won’t!” Su Jiu’s eyes were red as she said shamelessly.

He choked and looked into her wet eyes. Slowly, his eyes could not help but turn red too. His throat became even more choked, but he forced a smile. “Alright, alright. If you say I won’t, then I won’t.”

“Stop crying. We’re recording a show. That’s not good. Countless people saw you crying. Isn’t it embarrassing?” He wiped the tears off Su Jiu’s face. He did not notice that his voice was trembling. It was evident that he was trying his best to suppress his emotions.

Su Jiu stubbornly puffed up her cheeks and reached out to wipe her red eyes.

The warm yellow light in the room fell on the two of them, outlining a faint halo. At this moment, the father and daughter were hugging and comforting each other. The scene was quiet and warm, moving.

Yang Fangping, who was sitting in front of the camera monitor, fell silent. He felt depressed.
