Rong Si’s eyes flickered. He didn’t tell his mother that he had spent the entire afternoon playing with Little Jiu and instead asked, “Mom, does making a wish during the first snow in winter really make it come true?”
Song Wanqiu was stunned. Who told him that?
However, she felt that it was good to let the child have a little bit of imagination and hope. So, she smiled and said, “Maybe! There are so many magical things in this world. Did you make a wish? What wish did you make? Can you tell me?”
When she said that, she clearly saw that her son’s ears seemed to have turned red. He guiltily looked away. “No.”
Song Wanqiu did not need to think to know that his wish was most likely related to Little Jiu. She saw through it but did not expose him. She just smiled gently. “Since you don’t want to tell me, I won’t ask anymore. However, I hope that your wish will come true.”
Rong Si turned his head to look at the sky as snow still fell outside the window. A hint of determination appeared in his eyes. “It will.”
***
After that first snowfall, the weather grew colder and colder.
In the morning, Su Shengjing helped Su Jiu put on a thick sweater and coat, then a wool cap and a mask before carrying her out of the house.
Since they had already finished filming the drama series, Han Jiani had requested Su Shengjing to head over to the office. She had a new script for him.
If this arrangement became successful, it would increase his popularity even more. An actor that did not act often would be forgotten easily.
Han Jiani treated her position as his manager seriously. She wanted to support him, so she accepted many advertisements for him in a short period.
Now that he could act again, Su Shengjing had to seize this opportunity. He wanted to raise his daughter well and not disappoint her.
When the father daughter duo reached Glory World Entertainment building, Su Shengjing carried Su Jiu into the elevator, toward the office.
In the office, dressed in a high-end white-collar outfit, Han Jiani was already waiting for Su Shengjing. When she saw him bringing the little girl with him, the corners of her mouth twitched.
I told you not to bring the child here, but you just won’t listen.
Can’t you leave behind your daughter?
That was what she thought, but she did not ask Su Shengjing to leave the girl outside the office. Instead, she did not say anything as a tacit agreement.
When Su Shengjing saw Han Jiani stare at the little packrat, he immediately guessed what she was thinking. Embarrassed, he coughed and said, “There’s no one at home. I didn’t want to leave her alone there, so I brought her along. Don’t worry! Little Jiu is very obedient. She won’t make a fuss and cause trouble.”
“Mm! I’m very obedient!” The little girl in his arms earnestly nodded. The way she sat on her father’s lap was indeed incredibly obedient.
The female assistant at the side thought this was extremely adorable. She wanted to marry Su Shengjing so that she could have such a cute daughter too!
“That’s for the best,” Han Jiani indifferently said. Then, she passed a document on the table to Su Shengjing. “This is the script. Take a look. The male lead and second male lead have already been decided. They can’t be replaced. Do you think this role is suitable for you?”
If it were anyone else, they would probably think, Since I’m so popular now, why do I have to act in such a small role?
Do I deserve my popularity?
However, Su Shengjing didn’t say anything. He just agreed and took the script.
In the past, he had suffered because of his overconfidencefather-daughtert that he was popular enough and that he would continue to be popular. Therefore, he hadn’t been on guard against the people with bad intentions. He had thought that they couldn’t do anything to him since he had so many fans. In the end, he suffered greatly for that.
