Su Shengjing stood at the door and confusedly looked at his daughter. “Baby, what are you doing? Why did you take so long to open the door?”
Su Jiu was nervous, but she pretended to rub her eyes as if nothing had happened. “I just woke up.”
“Really? Then why did I hear voices in your room?”
“There are no voices. It’s just that I just looked at my phone for a while and played some videos.”
“How many times have I told you not to look at your phone when you sleep? It’s not good for your eyes.” Su Shengjing did not seem to suspect anything. He glanced into her room. “Can Daddy go in? What gifts did you receive last night?”
“I received many gifts! Do you want to come in and take a look, Daddy?” Su Jiu was even more nervous, but she couldn’t outright refuse her father.
Su Shengjing did not enter the room all the way. He only took a few steps in and looked around.
Su Jiu was so nervous that her palms were sweating. She was afraid that her father would walk to the bathroom on a whim. That would be terrible.
Not noticing anything amiss, Su Shengjing retracted his gaze and looked at the pile of gifts in the corner. The collection looked like a small mountain. He asked curiously, “Baby, did you have any special favorites out of the gifts you received last night?”
Special favorites?
Su Jiu immediately thought of the candlelight cake Rong Si had given her last night and the little kitten, but she didn’t say it out loud. Instead, she casually pointed to a new backpack in the corner of the pile. “This… I heard that this bag is a global limited edition. It’s so expensive. I’ll look good carrying it out!”
Su Shengjing found this funny. “As expected, Baby has grown up and knows how to appreciate luxury goods. If you want other bags like this, just tell Daddy. Daddy will buy it for you.”
Su Jiu shook her head. “It’s enough. Daddy, I haven’t used the bags you bought me before. You don’t have to spend any more on me.”
Su Shengjing glared at her. “Why are you so polite to me? What do you mean, I don’t have to spend any more on you? You’re my only daughter. If I don’t spend money on you, who will? Hmph, the old man even thinks that I bought too few gifts for you.”
“It’s really enough, Daddy. I’ll tell you when I want to buy something.”
“It’s good that you know.” Su Shengjing reached out and scratched her nose affectionately. “Alright, since you’re awake, hurry up and come down for breakfast. The food won’t taste as nice when it gets cold.”
“Got it, Daddy,” Su Jiu replied obediently.
Seeing that Su Shengjing had turned around to leave, she was about to heave a sigh of relief. However, at that moment, she heard a bang. It seemed to have come from the bathroom. Her heart trembled, and she froze!
N-no way!
Su Shengjing heard that voice too. He immediately turned around and frowned in surprise. “What’s that sound?”
“Was there a sound?” Su Jiu looked confused.
“I heard it.” Su Shengjing narrowed his eyes and stared at the bathroom door.
A cold sweat broke out on Su Jiu’s back as she laughed dryly. “Something might have fallen. It’s fine. Daddy, I’m going to wash up first. We’ll have breakfast together later.”
As she spoke, Su Shengjing had already walked past her as if he was about to enter the bathroom.
Shocked, Su Jiu instinctively pulled him back. “Daddy, what are you doing?”
Su Shengjing turned around and suspiciously looked at her. “Baby, are you sure that it was just something that fell on its own and not because there’s someone inside?”
“Someone? Dad, what are you talking about? Why would there be someone in my room?”
“That’s why I’m asking. Is there or isn’t there?”
“Of course, no one is there!” Su Jiu quickly denied it. “Daddy, you’re overthinking it. There’s no one there!”
“I’m overthinking? I’ll see for myself.”
Su Jiu could not bear to look at her father as he walked toward the bathroom. Her heart was in her throat.
She could imagine her father’s expression when he would see the little villain. Would he be so angry that he would break his legs?!
Su Shengjing walked decisively to the bathroom and grabbed the door handle.
If anyone is really inside, it’ll most likely be that brat Rong Si. And it seems that this brat has a death wish. He sneaked into Little Jiu’s room when we were not paying attention?!
How dare he?
I would teach that brat a lesson!
With a click, Su Shengjing opened the door.
Su Jiu’s heart was about to jump out of her chest as she hurriedly followed him to the bathroom. She had originally planned to plead for the little villain no matter what, even if her father beat and scolded her. However, when she saw that the bathroom was empty, she froze.
Huh?!
Where has the little villain gone?
Wasn’t he just in the bathroom? Why is he gone?
At this moment, the kitten meowed and ran to the door. It stuck its head out and stared at Su Shengjing curiously. Its fur was snow-white, and its blue eyes were especially big and beautiful.
Su Shengjing was stunned. Where did this cat come from?
Seeing the little kitten, Su Jiu suddenly heaved a sigh of relief!
Thank God! The kitten had gone into the bathroom. How timely!
Su Shengjing frowned and could not help but ask, “Why is there a cat? Who gave you a gift?”
Su Jiu laughed dryly. “I don’t know. There were so many gifts, I’ve lost track of who gave them.”
Su Shengjing bent down and tentatively reached out his hand to the little kitten. The little kitten took two steps back timidly and observed him for a few seconds. When it realized that he wouldn’t attack it, it didn’t escape. Instead, it let him carry it.
