“Okay.” Rong Si agreed.
He inwardly decided that aside from his mother, she would be the only other person he would smile for.

After returning home, Su Shengjing closed the door and lowered his head to look at the little girl. He awkwardly asked, “Baby, what were you saying to that little brother earlier?”
Ever since Su Jiu had left the hospital, she had been by that brat’s side as if she had completely forgotten about her old father. Su Shengjing’s heart was full of jealousy right now like he had been hurt ten thousand times over.
This is terrible. My daughter was just holding hands with another boy and talking to him. When she grows up and gets married, I’m sure I’ll cry from sadness every day.
Su Shengjing could already imagine it. It would be just like his old life. He would be all alone at home. Whenever he missed his daughter, he would look at her photo and cry…
How tragic is that?
The little girl lifted her head and looked at him. She chuckled. “Earlier, Big Brother asked me who my favorite person was.”
Su Shengjing was speechless.
That brat really asked her that. No one would believe him if he says that he’s not after Su Jiu!
“And how did Baby answer?”
Su Shengjing did not want to hear her say that she liked the brat. Unexpectedly, the little girl suddenly hugged his leg and blinked her large, clear eyes. She loudly declared, “The person Little Jiu likes the most is Daddy, of course. I like Daddy the most!”
These words instantly dispelled the jealousy in Su Shengjing’s heart. His mood took a sudden joyful turn.
He was on cloud nine.
Picking up the little girl, he affectionately rubbed her forehead against his.
However, when he recalled what happened today, Su Shengjing felt a lingering fear. He could not help but hug her tightly.
“Baby, it’s great that you’re back at Daddy’s side. From now on, Daddy will definitely protect you well and not let anyone hurt you again.” His voice was slightly hoarse, filled with guilt and self-loathing.
Su Jiu’s heart warmed. She reached out to hold Su Shengjing’s face and seriously said, “Daddy, you can’t get hurt too. I also want to protect Daddy.”
So that you no longer have to endure so much hate, so that you can return to your peak one day.
The child’s innocent words pierced right into Su Shengjing’s heart.
Tears welled up in his eyes, and his throat bobbed. He rubbed his forehead against the little girl’s forehead and forced a smile. “Mmm. Baby is the best. You’ll protect Daddy.”
Even though he said that, he was thinking: Should I hire a bodyguard for my little girl?
However, before he could think about it further, bodyguards came to him instead.
The next morning, Su Shengjing carried Su Jiu downstairs. Just as he was about to drive her to kindergarten, he noticed a limited edition luxury car parked outside his apartment.
Several bodyguards, both men and women, dressed in black suits, black pants, and sunglasses stood beside the car. Those who didn’t know better would think that they were actors on a movie set.
When Su Shengjing saw that it was Su Guobang’s car, his expression darkened.
At this moment, the butler walked over to him and respectfully said, “Young Master, please get in the car. Old Master has something to tell you.”
Su Shengjing did not want to, but since Su Guobang had helped him a lot the previous day, he carried the child into the car.
Su Guobang was sitting at the back of the car. Even when he saw Su Shengjing, there was no change in his expression. However, when he spotted Su Jiu, his gaze became gentler.
He cut straight to the chase. “See those people outside? From now on, they are Little Jiu’s bodyguards!”
