“Why?” Su Shengjing was surprised.
Previously, he had wanted to sleep in the same room as Su Jiu because he was worried about leaving her alone. However, the little girl had said that she was a big child, and she was not afraid of the dark. Thus, he had allowed her to sleep alone.
Why does she want to sleep with me now?
Su Jiu climbed onto the bed and burrowed into his embrace. Then, she lifted her head from his chest, and her large eyes became as clear and bright as a little deer’s. “Because… because Little Jiu thinks that Daddy will be very busy in the future and won’t have time to spend with me. Therefore, I want to spend more time with Daddy right now.”
After this incident, her father’s popularity had reached its peak. Moreover, his image was slowly turning around. He would definitely get many advertisements or television drama and movie offers. It would make him extremely busy. He would not have so much time to spend with her.
However, she was happy for him!
Hearing her words, Su Shengjing was stunned.
His heart suddenly felt bitter.
That was right. He was completely and utterly popular right now, and this was all thanks to the little girl. However, he knew that he would not have much time left to spend with her.
Su Shengjing suddenly thought of Han Siye, that little brat. His relationship with Han Xiao had always been average, and the father and son pair were not close.
Su Shengjing did not want his relationship with Su Jiu to become like that.
Looking at his daughter in his arms, Su Shengjing suddenly felt a little upset. Indeed, success always comes with a price. It’s impossible for everything to be perfect.
He placed the little girl on his lap and faced her. Then, he forced out a smile and said, “Alright, then you’ll sleep with Daddy today.”
“Mm!” Su Jiu rubbed her head against his chest and giggled. “With me around, will Daddy be able to sleep better?”
The smile on Su Shengjing’s face deepened as he stroked her little head. “That’s right. I’ll sleep well tonight. Ever since you appeared, Daddy has changed for the better. You’re Daddy’s lucky charm, do you know that?”
As he spoke, his expression turned serious. “Baby, Daddy might really get very busy and spend less time with you. If you don’t like it, then Daddy will stop working. We don’t need the money now anyway. Daddy will take good care of you as you grow up.”
Previously, he had wanted to enter the entertainment industry and make a name for himself to prove to that old man that even without the Su family’s backing, he could be successful.
But now, that desire seemed to have become less intense. After all, the thing most important to him had already changed.
This little girl that had suddenly appeared in his life had already become his everything. Everything that he had done was for her, not for himself.
When Su Jiu heard that, she immediately shook her head. “Daddy, I’ve grown up! I don’t have to stick to you all the time. Daddy, don’t forget your dream because of Little Jiu. You can’t give it up!”
As she spoke, she clenched her fists and spoke with a righteous tone.
Although her words were childish and simple, they warmed Su Shengjing’s heart and made him feel even more bitter.
He gently pinched Su Jiu’s cheeks and chuckled. “Are you old enough to say that you’ve grown up? Do you know what dreams are?”
“I know!” She seriously nodded. “The orphanage director auntie said that dreams are what you want to achieve the most!”
Su Shengjing was speechless.
This omnipotent orphanage director auntie is really a great teacher.
