The thought of it made Su Shengjing’s heart ache suddenly, and he didn’t know what to feel.

The little girl he had been holding in the palm of his hand, no matter how much he wanted her to stay a little girl, had already grown up and gotten a boyfriend.

Later, she would most likely marry and leave him…

Just thinking about it made Su Shengjing feel terrible. He glared at him. “Brat, I’ll settle the score with you after Little Jiu recovers!”

Rong Si met his gaze calmly and suddenly said, “Thank you, Uncle.”

“For what?!”

Rong Si’s lips curved, but he said nothing.

Even after hearing that Rong Si was already with Little Jiu, Su Shengjing had not ordered Rong Si to leave immediately. Did this mean that Su Shengjing did not dislike him that much?

Seeing her father return, Su Jiu looked nervous. She wondered what he had just said to the little villain. Could it be that… he wants him to break up with me?

If that is the case, I wouldn’t know what to do.

Her father was on one side and the little villain on the other; she didn’t want to hurt either of them.

However, her father didn’t say anything when he returned, let alone criticize her. He just reached out and knocked her forehead with a look of exasperation.

“Daddy…” She looked at him carefully. “Are you angry?”

“Hmph, of course, I am!” Su Shengjing answered in an irritated tone. “You didn’t even tell me that you were in a relationship. Do you think I’m not angry? I’m even disappointed! No matter what, this is a big deal. You actually didn’t tell me. Do you not care about me anymore now that you have a boyfriend?”

An Yuan wanted to laugh when she heard this. Why do I smell so much jealousy?

A father is jealous of his future son-in-law. If this gets out, many people would laugh their heads off, right?

It’s hopeless.

Su Jiu shook her head quickly. “No! Absolutely not!”

She reached out to hug Su Shengjing’s arm and looked at him eagerly. She said, “Daddy, even if I have a boyfriend, I will definitely care about you. Without you, I wouldn’t be where I am today. I might even still be in that orphanage. Just the thought of it makes me feel very sad…”

Su Shengjing’s heart softened when he met her clear eyes. Once again, his temper had vanished.

Fine, fine. There is really nothing I can do about her!

Seeing that her father’s expression had relaxed, Su Jiu secretly glanced at Rong Si, her eyes as cunning as a deer.

Rong Si’s smile widened, and his eyes became indulgent.

An Yuan, who was beside them, noticed their gazes and suddenly felt like she was the third wheel.

***

In the evening, Rong Si left the hospital, intending to find a hotel to stay in.

Little Jiu was going to be discharged at least the next day. If he found a place to stay nearby for two to three days, he would also have time to visit Song Wanqiu. Unexpectedly, just as he walked out of the hospital, a pink figure ran toward him and shouted excitedly, “Big Brother Rong Si!”

Rong Si stopped in his tracks. When he saw who it was, his expression darkened.

Her again?!

Rong Xi stopped in front of him, smiling. “Big Brother Rong Si, I’ve been waiting for you for a long time. You’re finally out.”

Rong Xi felt a little nervous when he saw his fierce and cold appearance.

She knew he would be angry that she had come to him like this, that she had pulled a few more tricks to get his whereabouts. But she wanted to see him and to make her presence known.

Otherwise, he would forget that he had a sister!
