The person in his arms had quieted down and didn’t speak again. Rong Si could hear only her even breathing. Thinking that she had fallen asleep, he helplessly sighed to himself and tried to compose himself before closing his eyes.
Su Jiu opened her eyes only when she heard low and even breathing above her head. She was so nervous that she did not dare to move. Her body was a little stiff.
Quietly raising her head, she glanced at the young man beside her. The first thing she saw was a devilishly handsome face. His long eyelashes were covered under his eyelids, and under his tall nose bridge, his thin lips were pursed habitually…
He looked so good even when she was sleeping.
The person she liked was lying beside her now. His chest felt so warm, which did not match his cold appearance at all. It was as if as long as she was in his arms, as long as he was by her side, she did not have to worry about anything.
Su Jiu’s heart throbbed. She could not help but reach out to hug Rong Si by the waist and snuggle into his embrace. Only then did she close her eyes again and fall asleep.
***
Su Jiu and Rong Si’s relationship had been trending on Weibo for a few days. Even if the fans of both sides loved their daughter and child very much, they probably did not want them to fall in love.
However, Su Jiu and Rong Si were really compatible. The fans could not find any reason to object to their relationship.
Only some of the more extreme fans or those who were deliberately trying to gain attention online were objecting to the relationship. Most of them dug out the fact that Rong Si lived in the slums of the city when he was young and relied on picking up trash to survive. When he was in university, he had to work part-time and study to support himself.
In terms of family background, he was not worthy of Su Jiu. He was simply a freeloader. How could he have the cheek to seduce the eldest daughter of the Su family?
Now that he had climbed up the social ladder, he was trying to soar into the sky. Wasn’t he reaching above his station?
When Su Jiu saw these comments, she gritted her teeth.
These people… really have too much free time.
Do they understand the little villain? How could they say such things?
At this moment, Rong Si was wearing a light gray housecoat and using a computer to work in the study. His slender and well-defined fingers were typing on the keyboard. From her angle, Su Jiu could see his well-defined side profile.
It was said that focused men were the most handsome. Now, he indeed looked so handsome that it seemed as though he was glowing.
Su Jiu did not know if he had seen the negative comments online. She wanted to comfort him, but when she saw how serious he was, she thought about it and decided not to.
She hoped that he could always be so calm and not be affected by those messy people online.
As if he had sensed Su Jiu’s gaze, Rong Si looked up.
His penetrating gaze met her worried one. When it looked as if she wanted to say something, he raised an eyebrow. “What’s wrong?”
Su Jiu came back to her senses and quickly said, “Nothing, nothing. Continue with your work. I’ll leave first.”
She guiltily tried to leave, but Rong Si put down what he was doing and said to her, “Come here.”
“Huh?”
“Come here first.”
His voice was low and magnetic, as if it had some kind of magic to it. Su Jiu walked toward him. When she was in front of him, he reached out and gently led her to sit on his lap.
Su Jiu was stunned. Such a position… Her ears turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye.
“Something on your mind?” Rong Si looked down at her. “Is there something you want to tell me?”
