Su Jiu tactfully slipped away. She prepared to follow Xiao Yang and Xiao Wei to the restaurant, leaving Song Xinyan to face the expressionless Li Mohan in embarrassment.

When Li Mohan was expressionless, it meant he was unhappy.

Song Xinyan dryly laughed and turned to run, but Li Mohan grabbed her wrist and brought her close to him. His deep eyes looked at her warningly. “What did you just say, huh? Say that again?”

Song Xinyan laughed dryly. “I… I didn’t say anything. I was just chatting with Little Jiu.”

“About what? How about you tell me about it?”

He looked like he wanted to get to the bottom of this. “It’s really nothing! Li Mohan, what are you thinking? Just because I said a boy is handsome doesn’t mean I like him, okay?”

Li Mohan stared at her. “Then who do you like?”

“I…” Song Xinyan choked. As she looked at the handsome face close to her, her beautiful face blushed. “I… like you, okay?”

Li Mohan’s expression softened. “At least you still know who you like.”

“Of course, I do. It’s you!”

Li Mohan raised his eyebrows. “Are you going to prove it?”

Song Xinyan couldn’t do anything to him. She could only reach out and hold his face every time he was unhappy in the past. Then, she tiptoed and kissed him.

Li Mohan was pleased with her performance. He put his arm around her waist and lowered his head…

As Su Jiu followed Xiao Yang and his son out, she inadvertently glanced back. The male and the female lead were kissing each other. Li Mohan supported himself against the wall with one hand and pinched Song Xinyan’s chin with the other. He kissed her fiercely. It was completely like the scene in a novel where a domineering CEO fell in love with me.

As expected of the male and female leads.

Su Jiu blushed a little and hurriedly retracted her gaze to follow Xiao Yang and Xiao Wei.

***

When the trio arrived at a nearby French restaurant, Xiao Wei originally planned to sit beside Xiao Yang. However, Xiao Yang glanced at him and said, “Sit opposite me. You and Little Jiu are the same age, so you should sit with her. Besides, you’re already grown up, so stop sticking to me.”

Xiao Wei glanced at Su Jiu, who had already sat down opposite him, and his ears heated up. After hesitating for two seconds, he finally mustered his courage and walked to her side. He looked down at her and asked, “Can I sit here?”

Su Jiu nodded. “Sure! Have a seat, Brother.”

Under the circumstances, she couldn’t very well deny him a seat, could she?

Xiao Wei smiled and sat down next to her. He was nervous about having the chance to sit with Su Jiu for the first time. So he was rather stiff. To hide his discomfort, his long fingers picked up the lemonade on the table, and he took a sip.

Xiao Yang clicked his tongue. When he had been young, he had been so proactive and bold in wooing this child’s mother. If he likes her, he should say it bravely. Why is this kid completely different from me? With his current state, is there any hope of him wooing Little Jiu?

He said it himself that many boys in school like Little Jiu. Especially Han Xiao’s son, who waits for Little Jiu to finish class every day and can’t be more obvious about his affections for her.

Look at them. Even if they don’t succeed in the end, they at least took action, right?

Xiao Yang looked at Su Jiu and asked with a fatherly smile, “Little Jiu, how are your studies now? Are you alright? I heard from Xiao Wei that you started a livestream. Can you manage that and your studies at the same time?”

Su Jiu smiled. “Sure, Uncle. I’m doing well in my studies. Besides, the live broadcast was something I started on a whim. I don’t intend to make it my main career. Learning is still the most important thing.”
