Although both the boys were handsome, she would feel guilty if they developed feelings for each other.
Therefore, they couldn’t go further than friendship.

Half an hour later, the car arrived at a European-styled villa in the wealthy district. Su Shengjing and An Yuan had bought this villa when they got married. The family of three stayed together here.
When Su Jiu returned home, her nanny, Auntie Zhang, welcomed her with a smile. “Miss, you’re home?”
“Yes!” Su Jiu replied. Suddenly, she smelled a familiar fragrance coming from the kitchen. She immediately knew that her father was cooking today.
Although her family had hired Auntie Zhang, an exceptionally good cook, Su Shengjing would take charge of the cooking whenever he was at home. Furthermore, his culinary skills were improving, and both Su Jiu and her mother loved his food.
Su Jiu ran to the kitchen. Unsurprisingly, she found her father’s tall figure inside.
Dressed in light gray loungewear, Su Shengjing looked as handsome as ever. Although he was no longer a young man, he looked no different than how he was a few years ago. However, he seemed more mature, more handsome, and more manly.
“Daddy!” Su Jiu called softly.
Upon hearing Su Jiu’s voice, Su Shengjing immediately turned his head. The corners of his lips could not help but curl up. “Baby is back? Daddy misses you so much. Come, give me a hug.”
Su Jiu ran toward him and jumped into his arms like a koala bear.
Su Shengjing hugged her tightly to prevent her from falling, just like how he used to carry her when she was young.
Although the little girl had grown up, she was still his darling.
He still enjoyed hugging her.
However, Su Jiu was now ten years old. In a few years, she would be a big girl. When that time came, he worried that he would not be as close to her as he was now.
Su Jiu hugged Su Shengjing’s neck and looked at his well-defined face up close. She dazedly said, “Daddy is so handsome. Why is he becoming more and more handsome?”
Su Shengjing laughed.
Even though the girl had said this countless times, he did not get sick of it. Every time he heard it, his mood would improve.
Even as the years had passed, Su Shengjing’s career had remained smooth sailing. More and more people had tried to get close to him, buttering him up with bullsh*t. However, his daughter’s words were still pleasant to his ears.
He loved it when she called him Daddy. He could never get tired of hearing that sweet, soft voice.
Su Shengjing loved it so much that he would wish for a longer life just so he could listen to her for a few more years.
Su Jiu continued with a troubled expression, “Daddy, you have raised my standards for choosing a spouse in the future. What should I do?”
Choosing a spouse?
Su Shengjing became unhappy when he heard that. He snorted and replied, “You’ve grown up well, but don’t let other brats lure you away!”
Su Jiu hugged him tighter and giggled. “Daddy, with you around, who would dare make a move on me? Also, my standards have risen. I won’t like boys who aren’t as handsome as Daddy!”
“That’s right. You have to have high standards when it comes to men. You have to be strict. You can’t let just any brat fall in love with you. That will only lower your worth. I won’t accept it either.”
Su Shengjing then patted the back of her hand. “Alright, hurry up and wash your hands. Daddy made your favorite sweet and sour pork ribs and braised fish..”
