Su Jiu turned around and wrapped her arms around her mother’s waist. “But I don’t want to grow up. I want to be a child forever.”
“Really?” An Yuan smiled meaningfully. “If you don’t grow up, you’ll be unhappy. Of course, someone else will also be unhappy. Little Jiu, don’t you want to marry the boy you like and start your own family? This is something you can do only when you grow up.”
“…” Su Jiu was embarrassed, and her face turned red. “Mommy, why would you talk about something that’s so far away?”
“Far away? From what I see, you can’t wait to get married once you reach the legal age, right?”
The legal age of marriage for girls in this country was twenty, which meant that only two years were left for her. It was not long and would pass quickly.
Speaking of this, An Yuan suddenly felt a little sad. She stared at Su Jiu and pushed a strand of hair behind her ear. With a sigh, she said, “Little Jiu is getting married and has to leave her parents. What can Mommy do if she can’t bear to see Little Jiu leave? So, can you not get married so quickly?”
Hearing what she said, Su Jiu felt bad. Ever since she had found her parents, she had been inseparable from them. If they really wanted to separate, she would be reluctant.
However, when she grew up, she would have to face a realistic problem, this separation.
“Mommy, I won’t get married so soon. Even if I do, I’ll come back often to see you and Daddy. I definitely won’t leave you two behind,” Su Jiu promised seriously.
An Yuan smiled and did not continue. Instead, she changed the topic. “Alright, today is your birthday. Let’s not talk about such depressing things. We have to be happier. Let’s go downstairs together. The guests are all here. They can’t wait to see their little princess.”
An Yuan was wearing a pink fishtail dress today. Although she was no longer young, she still looked dazzling.
Because she had taken good care of herself, she looked like she was in her early thirties. She was comparable to those young and beautiful female celebrities in the industry. She also had an aura and charm that they did not have. As soon as she appeared at the venue, she easily attracted everyone’s attention.
However, when the guests saw Su Jiu appear with her, their gazes instantly turned to her. A sentence suddenly popped up in their minds: The Su family has a daughter who has grown up!
Su Jiu allowed An Yuan to hold her hand. With her other hand, she lifted the hem of her dress and slowly walked down the stairs. The luxurious crystal chandelier in the hall emitted a dazzling light that slanted down from above. The dress on her body glittered, making her seem to be glowing.
When Su Guobang and Su Shengjing saw her, they felt proud.
Many rich girls and female celebrities had come today, but Little Jiu’s appearance seemed to have instantly killed them. She was the most eye-catching existence!
The little girl from many years ago had unknowingly grown into a beautiful girl who people could not take their eyes off.
The guests looked at Su Jiu with admiration. Today, Xiao Wei and Han Sye were both here. Although they were not seeing Su Jiu for the first time, she was so beautiful that it took their souls away.
Han Siye looked at her in a daze for a long time. It was only when she walked downstairs that he came back to his senses and whispered, indignantly and sourly, “Hmph, that brat Rong Si got lucky. Why did Su Jiu like him?”
Hearing this, Xiao Wei also came back to his senses. He also felt a little sour.
