Su Shengjing had not forgotten what the boy had looked like as a child. At the time, Su Shengjing could tell from that kid’s eyes that the kid had an attitude. He was not a man who would obey others obediently. He was arrogant and full of ambition.
This was just as well. Men were supposed to be ambitious. If Rong Si only had a good-looking face with no opinions and no ambition, he’d be no different from a doll. Su Shengjing would never agree to Little Jiu’s relationship with him.
“Daddy, can I send him off?” Su Jiu looked at Su Shengjing eagerly.
Su Shengjing helplessly waved his hand. “Go ahead. However, you can send him to only the doorstep. Not any further!”

Su Jiu walked Rong Si to the courtyard of the villa and reluctantly held his hand. “Big Brother, come back when you can. I’ll visit you when I’m free.”
“Okay.” Rong Si’s deep eyes looked at her delicate face. He couldn’t help but reach out and hug her. Burying his face in her hair, he breathed in the faint fragrance. “Remember to think about me.”
Su Jiu hugged him too and nestled in his arms. “You have to think of me too!”
“Not a day goes by when I don’t think of you.” Rong Si held her tight. After another moment, he released her and stroked her head. “Go back. Otherwise, Uncle will be upset again.”
Su Jiu looked up at him and pursed her lips, reluctant.
She wanted to stay with the little villain if she could. But that would probably have to wait until after they were married!
Married…
Her heart suddenly pounded, and her ears turned red at the thought. Really, what am I thinking? Even if we were to get married, it would be after several more years. Why am I thinking about it now?
Rong Si noticed her flushed ears and raised an eyebrow. “What are you thinking about?”
Su Jiu immediately shook her head. “N-nothing!”
Rong Si couldn’t help but smile.
Under the dim yellow light of the street lamp, that smile was soul-stirringly beautiful. Su Jiu’s heart beat even faster. She really wanted to pounce on him and play with him!
With that thought in mind, Su Jiu stood on tiptoe and kissed him on the chin.
Rong Si’s eyes darkened. If not for him being uncertain whether Su Shengjing was watching him and Little Jiu or not, he would have kissed her back even more fiercely.
But now, all he could do was suck it up and ruffle her hair again. “I’m going.”
“Yes… you should go. I’ll wait until you’re gone before I go back in.”
Rong Si released her and turned. He looked back almost every three steps before finally getting into the car and leaving Su Jiu’s line of sight.
Su Shengjing stood on the balcony on the second floor and snorted when he saw how reluctant the two of them were to leave each other.
Usually, if he and An Yuan had work to do and needed to travel far, Little Jiu would send them off. However, she wasn’t as reluctant with them as she seemed to be with that kid. She is really fascinated by that kid.

After Rong Si left, Su Jiu returned home and hugged Su Shengjing’s arm. “Daddy, can I send Big Brother to the airport tomorrow?”
“If I said no, will you listen?”
Su Jiu stuck out her tongue. “I won’t.”
“Then why are you asking me?” Su Shengjing flicked her forehead. “Go if you want to, but come back immediately after you’re done. Don’t stay outside.”
“I know. I’m not a child anymore. I can take care of myself.”
The next morning, Su Jiu called Rong Si to pick him up at the hotel and drive him to the airport. As Rong Si got into the car, his phone suddenly rang.
