An Yuan did not mind. She smiled and asked, “Why? I just want to treat Little Jiu to a meal. Can’t I do that?”
Just as she said that, a stern female voice replied to her, “It’s best not to.”
An Yuan and the others turned their heads and saw a woman dressed in a beige business suit and wearing exquisite makeup walking over in high heels of the same color. It was Han Jiani.
Su Jiu’s eyes lit up. “Pretty Auntie!”
She successfully attracted Han Jiani’s attention. The little girl had worn a white tutu skirt, a pink knitted jacket, and a yellow duck hat. She looked adorable.
Han Jiani’s eyes flickered, but her expression remained aloof. She calmly replied, “Yes.”
Isn’t this reaction too cold?
Su Jiu puffed up her cheeks. Even though this lady had such a severe personality, Su Jiu was still confident that she could win her heart!
Han Jiani’s gaze fell on An Yuan, and she reminded her again. “It’s best if you don’t eat together with them. Rumors about you and Su Shengjing are already floating now because Little Jiu said before that she wanted you to be her stepmother. Once the media spreads the news, it’ll be hard for the netizens not to think about it.”
An Yuan took a look at Su Shengjing. She was as embarrassed as he was. “It’s just a casual remark. Don’t take it seriously.”
“Of course, I won’t, but what about the netizens?”
Han Jiani replied with a question. She then coldly glanced at Su Shengjing and said, “Su Shengjing, a lot of people are scolding you online now. You can even go and see what they are scolding you about. You’d better keep your distance from women. Don’t get into trouble like before. I don’t want to help you deal with these unnecessary issues, so don’t let it happen again!”
Su Shengjing nodded.
When he had been framed in the past, the mastermind behind the scenes had found a few women to deliberately approach him. The paparazzi had then taken photos of him from a tricky angle. In the eyes of those unaware, it seemed like he really had an affair with those women. Thus, Su Shengjing had ended up being scolded by netizens.
If he had a scandal with An Yuan, it was obvious how much the netizens would scold him. They would definitely scold him even worse than before.
No matter what, An Yuan was the goddess in many people’s hearts. How could they tolerate someone like him, who was covered in scandals?
Seeing that Han Jiani was about to leave, Su Jiu stopped her and softly said, “Pretty Auntie, aren’t you going to eat with us?”
Han Jiani turned around and met the little girl’s clear eyes and expectant gaze. A ripple appeared in the depths of her heart. “No. Auntie still has something to do. You guys can eat.”
“Next time when you’re free, let’s eat together!”
Faced with the little girl’s expectant eyes, Han Jiani couldn’t say no. She nodded and continued walking away.
An Yuan looked at her back and couldn’t help but say to Su Shengjing, “Your manager is a little fierce. Of course, mine isn’t any better. It’s a pity that my contract hasn’t expired yet.”
Thinking of Xue Zhen, Su Shengjing sneered. “You’re not wrong.”
He would never forget how Xue Zhen had treated the little girl. The less he saw of Xue Zhen, the better it would be.
An Yuan pulled a chair and sat down beside the table. She placed a plate of food in front of Su Jiu and smiled. “Little Jiu, eat while the food is still hot and see if it’s delicious. Also, ask your father to eat it too.”
Ahhh, this woman is so good. I love her.
Su Jiu immediately turned to look at Su Shengjing. “Daddy, you also have to eat.”
