Su Shengjing paused for a while, then asked, “Does your family like little girls?”
Huh?
Sheng Tianci was a bit surprised. Why did he suddenly ask this?
“Didn’t I say that my parents are looking forward to me marrying and having a daughter? In the past generations, there weren’t any girls in my family. It’s not only my parents. My grandparents also yearn for a little girl. Why? Are you asking me this because you want me to raise your daughter for you?”
“… Yes.”
What?!
Sheng Tianci suspected that he had heard wrongly. “No way! Are you really planning to give your daughter to me?”
Su Shengjing looked down and replied, “If you can be good to her, I can consider it. After all, in my current situation, I can’t take good care of her.”
“Sure!” Sheng Tianci excitedly said, “Don’t worry. If your daughter is willing to live with me, my family will dote on her. I promise that I’ll hire the most professional babysitter for her and give her a life fit for a princess. However, will your daughter agree?”
“She’s just a three-year-old child who’s gullible. Plus, she just met me a while ago. She has not come to the point where she fully relies on me yet. Even if she is unwilling at the start, after joining your family and experiencing a good life, she’ll probably not want to come back.”
“… Alright. Talk to your daughter first and let her be mentally prepared. I’ll come over later.”
After hanging up, Su Shengjing grimly looked at his phone screen. When he thought that he was going to send his daughter away, he felt like he was a bastard.
However, Su Jiu would not have a good life if she stayed with him. Others would criticize her behind her back, which was extremely detrimental to a child’s mental health.
Perhaps, I am really not worthy enough to be a father…
Su Shengjing took a deep breath and calmed himself down. He planned to see if Su Jiu had woken up, but when he turned around, he saw her standing behind the balcony. She had raised her head and was looking at him with reddened eyes.
Su Shengjing’s heart skipped a beat, and he widened his eyes in shock.
Why is she here?
When did she come? Did she hear everything I said?
She must have. Otherwise, she would not be on the brink of tears while staring at me.
Su Jiu hadn’t been asleep. When Su Shengjing was putting her to sleep, she had just cooperated with him and pretended to sleep. That was why she could vaguely hear him on the phone from the bedroom.
After secretly getting up and going to the balcony, she could hear him more clearly.
This bastard wanted to send her away!
Even though their lives were not ideal now, he could just try his best to change their current situation. Why did he want to send his own daughter away?
This could not happen. To protect her life, she knew she must not be adopted as it had been in the novel. Plus, she did not want to leave her father.
Before Su Shengjing could speak anything, Su Jiu pounced over and hugged his leg. She said while sobbing, “Daddy, I’ll be very obedient. Don’t send me away! I don’t want anyone else to be my father!”
She gazed at him with wide eyes, and her bloodshot eyes contained a pleading look. Her pitiful appearance made him feel like that if he even said something harsh to her, he would be a horrible person.
Su Shengjing was speechless.
What should I do? He was losing his resolve again.
He discovered that he could not bear it when Su Jiu cried.
When she cried, he felt like something was tightly gripping his heart, making it ache.
“Daddy, don’t you want me anymore? Are you going to abandon me?” The little girl pouted. Her face flushed, and her eyes brimmed with tears. It looked as if the tears would stream down her face if she blinked.
