An Yuan tightly pursed her lips. These words were compelling.
However, people like Xue Zhen were hard to trust. Who knew if she would go back on her word in the end?
An Yuan knew she had to be prepared for different outcomes. However, given the current situation, she could only agree for now and buy time to investigate later.
As she was thinking, her assistant walked in from outside the office and said, “Sister An Yuan, someone is looking for you outside.”
Looking for me?
Could it be those greasy men from that night?
An Yuan warily asked, “Who?”
“It’s…” The assistant cautiously glanced at Xue Zhen before saying, “Su Shengjing and his daughter.”
An Yuan was stunned. Without seeing Xue Zhen’s reaction, she followed her assistant out.
Xue Zhen rolled her eyes.
What the hell is going on? Alright, so Su Shengjing is just a little more handsome than the average man. Why is An Yuan so obsessed with him?
When An Yuan walked out of the office, she saw the adult and child waiting in the lounge across from her.
“Pretty Sister!” The little girl immediately ran over and hugged An Yuan’s leg when she saw her. Then, she looked up at An Yuan with her fair and cute little face. “Pretty Sister, are you okay? Little Jiu was so worried about you.”
An Yuan lowered her head and looked at the little girl. Her heart was suddenly in a whirl.
If my child is four years old, wouldn’t that be the same age as Little Jiu?
An Yuan had never seen her son before and had never heard him call her “Mommy.” Every time Little Jiu called Su Shengjing “Daddy,” An Yuan felt envious.
An Yuan instantly felt a strong wave of bitterness, and her eyes quickly blurred.
When Su Jiu saw that the beauty’s eyes were suddenly filled with tears that seemed as if they were going to fall in the blink of an eye, she froze. Su Jiu hurriedly asked, “Pretty Sister, why are you crying?”
The little girl didn’t know why, but seeing the great beauty like this made her feel uncomfortable.
An Yuan quickly raised her head to prevent her tears from falling. Then, she looked at Su Jiu again and forced a smile. “Nothing, I just… thought of some unhappy things.”
The little girl blinked and waved her hand. “Pretty Sister, lower your head.”
An Yuan didn’t know what Su Jiu wanted to do, so she followed her instructions and bent down. The little girl reached out her little hand and wiped the tears from the corners of An Yuan’s eyes. “Don’t cry, Pretty Sister. If you’re unhappy, just think of something happy!”
His childish voice made An Yuan’s heart warm and ache, but she could not show this. She could only hold her little hand and say with reddened eyes, “Okay, thank you, Little Jiu!”
Su Shengjing stood at the side and observed the actress. He felt that something was wrong with the way she was looking at the little girl. Her gaze seemed to be even gentler than before. It gave him the impression that she was Su Jiu’s mother.
At this moment, Xue Zhen also came out of the office. She looked at An Yuan with a cold expression. “Little Yuan, what are you doing? I’ve accepted an advertisement for you, so don’t waste your time on unimportant people. Come back.”
After saying that, she glared at Su Jiu.
Not to be outdone, Su Jiu glared back.
Humph, old witch, who’s afraid of who?
An Yuan was very unwilling. She stared at Su Jiu for a long while before caressing her head. Then, she reluctantly said, “Little Jiu, I have to work. Go back with your father first. I’ll play with you another day when I’m free.”
Su Jiu curiously asked, “Pretty Sister, didn’t you end your contract with her? Why are you still talking about work with her?”
An Yuan lowered her gaze and tugged at the corner of her lips. Her smile seemed a little bitter. “No, we didn’t end the contract..”
