Naturally, Su Shengjing could not ask for more. He had complete trust in Song Wanqiu. Little Jiu liked her as well, so he was completely assured that Song Wanqiu would take good care of Little Jiu.
It would have been even better if no one in her family had designs on his daughter.
When Su Shengjing entrusted Su Jiu to Song Wanqiu, the happiest person was Rong Si. He immediately gave up his room for her to sleep in.
Every time Su Jiu slept on his bed, she would think that she was sleeping on the bed of the ruthless man in the novel. She was so bold that she could boast about it for the rest of her life!
Song Wanqiu let the two children watch cartoons, while she went to the kitchen to prepare for the reunion dinner. Su Jiu jumped down from the sofa and ran to her side. She obediently said, “Auntie, Little Jiu will help you!”
Song Wanqiu lowered her head and adorably looked at her. A strong thought emerged in her heart—it’s great to have a daughter like her.
She gently smiled. “Little Jiu, do you really want to help? Cooking is not an easy task.”
The little girl seriously nodded. “Yes! I want to help!”
Since she was here, Rong Si followed her. He entered the kitchen and said to Song Wanqiu, “I’ll help too.”
Song Wanqiu laughed again. “Sure, let’s make dumplings together then?”
After that, the adult and the two children sat together at the dining table and began making dumplings.
Ever since she had been young, Su Jiu had never personally made dumplings. When she was young, she always ate dumplings made by the orphanage’s director and some kind-hearted people. When she grew up, she would always buy frozen dumplings to cook.
Moreover, she ate alone after cooking, so she didn’t like the New Year. While every family was having a reunion dinner, she was alone.
However, it was different now. She had her father, Auntie Song, and the little villain!
It was because of this that she felt a sense of yearning she had never felt before. On top of that was a strange warmth that warmed her heart.
Song Wanqiu was quick-witted, and she quickly and beautifully wrapped the dumpling. Su Jiu exclaimed in surprise and seriously watched this for a while. After trying to wrap a few more dumplings, she grew more skillful at it.
Song Wanqiu looked at the plump dumplings on her plate and praised the little girl with a smile. “Little Jiu is so smart. The dumplings are wrapped really well.”
“I learned it from you, Auntie. Auntie wrapped it the best!” the little girl sweetly said. Then, she pointed to the one she wrapped the best and said to Rong Si, “Big Brother, I made this prettiest one especially for you!”
Rong Si was stunned. She especially made it for me?
He was flattered. “Thank you!”
The little girl chuckled. “You’re welcome!”
Rong Si picked up the dumpling and placed it on the other side of the plate. He said to Song Wanqiu, “Mommy, can I cook this one by itself?”
Seeing the hopeful look on his face, Song Wanqiu chuckled. “Okay, this is the dumpling that Little Jiu specially made for you. You can cook it separately.”
Little Jiu had made dumplings for him, and Rong Si felt that he had to express his gratitude. He was gifted in his studies, but it was difficult for him to make dumplings. He could not even make a few dumplings in a row.
Just as he was feeling a little depressed, a warm hand suddenly touched his face, and some flour scattered across the table.
He looked over in surprise and met the little girl’s sly eyes. She was smiling smugly.
Song Wanqiu laughed again. “Ah Si’s face is like a little kitten’s.”
Before Rong Si could react, the little girl patted his face again and giggled. She jumped off the chair and ran away.
