When An Yuan walked back, Su Jiu curiously asked, “Big Sister, where are you going to play? I want to go there too!”
The little girl had an expectant look on her face. An Yuan could not help but bitterly laugh in her heart.
How could an ignorant child like her attend such a banquet?
It would only taint her.
Not only could the little girl not go there now, but she should not go there in the future either. An Yuan hoped that Su Jiu would always be so innocent and carefree that she would not be tainted by those dirty things and could grow up peacefully and happily.
An Yuan pretended that nothing had happened and said, “Auntie has an event to attend tonight, so she can’t bring any children there.”
“Why?”
“Because adults have to talk about work and drink. How can children go there?”
The little girl pouted. “B-but I want to be with Big Sister.”
“I can spend some time with you after I’m done with work! But I really can’t tonight,” An Yuan patiently said.
The little girl looked disappointed. “Alright.”
An Yuan smiled and patted her little head. Such a little angel had to be placed in her palm and taken good care of.
However, when she thought of those photos of herself, her heart became heavy again. If she really fought with Xue Zhen until the end and her matter was exposed, she could no longer stay in the entertainment industry; she would not know how to face the little girl. Would she be worthy of Su Jiu’s pure and innocent love?
Even if the little girl didn’t know about it now, the photos would stay on the Internet forever. Once those photos were circulated, An Yuan wouldn’t be able to contain them anymore. After growing up, Su Jiu could still find out about them through various channels.
An Yuan liked Su Jiu from the bottom of her heart. She did not want the little girl to hate her.
After they were almost done eating, An Yuan brought the little girl out. Su Shengjing, who had been watching from the next room, immediately stood up when he saw his daughter.
How could this heartless little girl bear to leave her beloved father here for more than an hour?
“Daddy!” The little girl opened her arms and ran toward him.
Su Shengjing immediately caught her and tightly carried her in his arms as if he were hugging a treasure he had regained after losing.
An Yuan enviously watched them from the side. She wasn’t envious of Su Shengjing. However, she was envious that he had such a daughter.
It seemed that Su Shengjing and this little girl were destined to be father and daughter. They looked so warm and harmonious together.
If it were any other father or little girl, they might not look so compatible.
An Yuan put her thoughts away and said to Su Shengjing, “I have something to do tonight, so I can’t play with Little Jiu anymore. I have to go.”
Su Shengjing looked at her with uncertainty. “Are you really alright?”
An Yuan pulled a strand of hair behind her ear and said with a faint smile, “Yes, don’t worry!”
Su Shengjing stared at her for a few seconds before saying, “It’s good that you’re fine.”
After An Yuan left, Su Jiu immediately said to him, “Daddy, Daddy, should we follow her? Big Sister said that she was going to attend an event tonight, but she was clearly unwilling.”
Su Shengjing knew that if he did not bring Su Jiu along with him, the little girl would definitely be worried. He was also worried, so he said, “Alright, let’s follow her.”

At seven in the evening, An Yuan drove to the agreed-upon hotel by herself. She walked all the way to the most expensive private room and quietly opened the door of the private room a little. She saw a few men in suits and leather shoes sitting at the table, eating and drinking.
The room was filled with the strong smell of alcohol. An Yuan could smell it even from the door, and she couldn’t help but frown.
