Chapter 591: Daily Public Displays of Affection
The management companies on both sides found it funny. Other celebrities had to hide their relationships, afraid that the netizens would find out. But in the case of these two, the netizens couldn’t wait for them to show off their love every day, and even more so, wanted them to get married quickly.
All in all, it was a picturesque scene.
Under the countless calls of the netizens, after a year, Su Shengjing and An Yuan finally got married and held a grand wedding. Su Jiu and Han Xiao’s son, Han Siye, took up the role of the flower girl and the flower boy. The live videos and photos of the wedding circulated crazily online.
The fans were filled with sorrow and joy. On one hand, they were happy that the couple had finally gotten married. On the other hand, they felt that they, the fans, had fallen out of love. The male god and goddess that they liked no longer belonged to the fans. Their youth was over!
Su Shengjing and An Yuan had been in a relationship for a whole year, yet they had never married. They didn’t think of that until that time when Su Shengjing’s safety harness broke while he was filming, and he fell. One of his legs had crashed to the ground and was broken. During the two months that he was hospitalized, An Yuan had pushed away her work and took care of him wholeheartedly.
This had moved Su Shengjing. Soon after he was discharged from the hospital, he had brought his daughter along and proposed to An Yuan.
After the couple got married, An Yuan moved in with Su Shengjing.
Su Jiu was overjoyed that her father had found the happiness that belonged to him. On the day of their marriage, she had been so happy that she cried. Su Shengjing got scared due to that. He hugged her and comforted her for a long time, promising her that he would not abandon her just because he had a wife. He would treat her better than before, doting on her with An Yuan.
After her wish to have a complete family was fulfilled, Su Jiu started to look forward to her parents giving birth to a younger sibling. It was not because she felt lonely, but just like what the netizens said, it would be a waste if her parents did not have more children with such good genes!
However, Su Shengjing and An Yuan seemed to have made a promise. In the blink of an eye, six years had passed. Su Jiu was already ten years old, but the two of them never had another child. Su Jiu and their fans felt a little regretful.
From time to time, fans would ask under their Weibo: When are you going to have a second child?
Su Shengjing and An Yuan only smiled and did not take these questions seriously.
They had agreed that Little Jiu was the only child they wanted. Previously, she had been abandoned at the orphanage and had finally returned to her parents by chance. They wanted to give her all their love.
In six years, Su Jiu had gone from being a young kid who was not even at Su Shengjing’s waist to a young lady. She went from kindergarten to primary school and even skipped a few grades. Now, she was in the first year of middle school.
Everyone in the school knew that a genius little girl had come to their school. Su Jiu scored full marks in her schoolwork, and competitions were not a problem for her. The best middle school in the capital had made an exception and accepted her. They even planned to send her to high school.
Su Jiu ate very freely in school. Her grades were good, and she was pretty, cute, and polite. On top of that, she was the youngest in the school. Thus, she became the favorite of the teachers and students. She was doing very well in school.
The only person she found troublesome was Han Siye.
This fellow was actually in the same junior high school as her!
That was going too far.
Han Siye’s family was originally not from this city. They lived in a neighboring city under the care of his grandparents. Most of Han Xiao’s work was in this city, however, and when his studio opened, he had decided to move here and settle down. And he had brought along Han Siye with him.
Now that Han Siye was twelve years old, his face had become even more handsome and he had grown taller. However, his personality had not changed at all. He was still arrogant and unruly as if he were asking for a beating. His bad habit of pulling Su Jiu’s hair had not changed, and he always angered Su Jiu..
Chapter 592: Shortie, Hurry Up
Su Jiu could tolerate Han Siye coming to her classroom after school and insisting on walking home with her, but she could not tolerate this bad habit.
She wondered if he did this because his hands were restless!
***
In the evening, after the school bell rang, the students in the classroom packed their bags one after another.
When they saw a tall and handsome figure appear in the corridor and stop outside the window, many girls blushed and their hearts raced.
This school was a private school. Many of the students here were children of rich and powerful people or celebrities. Moreover, Han Siye was usually quite high-profile and ostentatious. Almost everyone knew him.
He was the little devil who often broke the rules and did not hand in his homework, giving his teacher headaches.
However, he was really handsome and had inherited his parents’ good looks.
Han Siye ignored the girls’ excited or shy gazes and walked straight to the window. After stopping there, he knocked on the window with his finger and said to the person inside, “Shortie, hurry up! I don’t like waiting for people.”
The girl packing her bag glared at him. “Who told you to wait? Get lost!”
With one hand in his pocket, Han Siye casually leaned against the window. He looked down at her, a mischievous smile on his lips. “Tsk! If you don’t want me to wait, I’ll wait! I’ll annoy you to death.”
Su Jiu was speechless.
Childish brat!
She packed her bag and walked out of the classroom. She didn’t wait for Han Siye, but he followed her.
The two of them were eye-catching, and everyone in school knew them. Hence, when they walked together, they became the center of attention.
Many students even suspected that they were already dating at such a young age.
Su Jiu carried her bag and stomped down the stairs while Han Siye leisurely walked behind her. He did not forget to annoy her. “Your legs are so short. What are you walking so fast for?”
Su Jiu stopped in her tracks and turned back to glare at him. “You’re the one with short legs. Your whole family has short legs!”
After saying that, she silently said in her heart, “Ahhh, Uncle Han, I’m sorry for scolding you. Your legs aren’t short!”
Her words didn’t have any impact on Han Siye at all. Instead, he even seemed to find it funny.
The young man could not help but smile. He reached out and pulled the ponytail at the back of Su Jiu’s head. “Who are you calling short? Open your eyes and take a good look. My legs are short? Don’t lie to yourself.”
“You— I told you not to pull my hair!” Su Jiu furiously reached out as if she wanted to hit him.
Han Siye immediately ran to the front and annoyingly said, “Come and hit me if you can catch me!”
Su Jiu was speechless.
What a brat!
Unwilling to be bullied by a brat, she angrily chased after him. “Don’t run, coward!”
As she ran out of the school building, she bumped into Xiao Wei. Xiao Wei was also a student of this school and was in his second year of junior high school.
Wearing a neat school uniform, Xiao Wei walked in front, carrying his school bag on one shoulder and reading a book.
He was the top student in the second year of junior high school.
Upon seeing him, Han Siye patted his shoulder and stopped. He turned around to look at Su Jiu, who was chasing after him, and grinned again.
That grin was especially unrestrained in the sunset.
Su Jiu only wanted to punch his annoying face. See if he’s still smiling after that!
Xiao Wei looked at her and then at Han Siye. He knew what had happened. His handsome brows furrowed slightly.. “Don’t bully Little Jiu.”
Chapter 593: The Reputation of Men Has Been Ruined
Su Jiu hid behind Xiao Wei but still glared at Han Siye. “That’s right! You’re a boy. Bullying girls is shameful!”
Seeing her standing so close to Xiao Wei, Han Siye felt very uncomfortable. It was just like when he used to see her being close to other boys when he was young. He just wanted to pull her back and make her stay by his side.
He snorted. “If you come over, I won’t bully you.”
Su Jiu made a face at him. “I won’t. All men do is lie. I don’t believe you.”
Xiao Wei felt a little helpless and looked at Han Siye. “Look! Because of you, the reputation of men has been ruined.”
Han Siye scoffed and did not answer. His attention was still on Su Jiu. “Are you coming over?”
Su Jiu looked determined. “No.”
“Idiot, since you say that men are liars, why are you still so close to other men?” Han Siye complained and directly reached out to pull her over. “Come to my side!”
Su Jiu was speechless. “Aren’t I getting closer to you now? Aren’t you a man?”
Han Siye confidently said, “I’m still a boy now. I’ll be a man in the future!”
Su Jiu was speechless.
D*mn! Why is this person so shameless?
Xiao Wei, who was standing at the side, got a headache. However, his relationship with Han Siye was average. At most, he was just an ordinary friend and wasn’t in a position to criticize Han Siye. Xiao Wei could only follow by his side and guard against him at all times to prevent him from bullying Little Jiu again.
Han Siye carried his school bag with one hand and had the other hand in his pocket. He walked side by side with Su Jiu. Along the way, many girls looked at him, their faces red.
Han Siye was really handsome. He was even more handsome than those young hunks on TV. Xiao Wei was handsome too. Moreover, Xiao Wei could play the piano; he was truly a piano prince.
After looking at Han Siye, the girls looked at Su Jiu, who was beside him. Their eyes were filled with envy and jealousy.
Han Siye still ignored those gazes and glanced sideways at Su Jiu. Pretending to be nonchalant, he said, “How about I get my driver to drive you back tonight?”
He wanted to send her back, but his tone made it seem like he was giving her charity.
Of course, Su Jiu rolled his eyes at him. At that moment, they had already reached the school gate. The chauffeur, who had arrived early, saw Su Jiu and immediately walked up to help her carry her school bag.
Hearing Han Siye’s words, the chauffeur put on a fake smile and said, “Little Miss, Old Master and Young Master have said that you’re not allowed to ride in someone else’s car, especially with a boy.”
As he spoke, he glared at Han Siye.
This chauffeur was originally Su Guobang’s bodyguard. He was tall and strong, with a scar on his face, which added a hint of murderous intent to him. When he glanced at Han Siye, the young boy suddenly felt a chill run down his spine as if something dangerous was targeting him.
However, Han Siye would not admit defeat so easily. He pretended to not have seen it and said to Su Jiu, “Ride with me! I’ll buy you something delicious.”
Little brother, do you think I lack delicious food?
Su Jiu also felt a headache. “Well, since my chauffeur is here, I’ll be leaving now. Goodbye!”
Han Siye’s and Xiao Wei’s lips moved as if they wanted to say something, but Su Jiu ran away after saying that and entered her car. The two boys could only stand there and watch her.
Sitting in the car, Su Jiu looked at the passing scenery outside the car window and held her forehead in distress.
Sigh! Although she knew that Han Siye and Xiao Wei liked her, in her eyes, they were just kids, the kind that she had watched grow up..
Chapter 594: The Standards for A Spouse Have Risen
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..”
Chapter 595: We Love You
“Daddy is so nice!” Su Jiu sweetly smiled. Then, she thought of something and asked, “When is Mommy coming back? I miss her.”
Su Shengjing paused before saying, “I miss her too.”
The scandal with the intimate photos that year had not affected An Yuan’s career. On the contrary, after An Yuan participated in that dating variety show with Su Shengjing, her popularity rose even higher. She received endless offers from producers. Currently, she was the most popular female celebrity in the industry.
And she had the work ethic to back it up. No other female celebrity in the entertainment industry could shake her position as the top female celebrity.
The only unfortunate thing was that An Yuan was extremely busy; as a strong career woman, she rarely had time to spend with her family.
Recently, she had accepted a new role and had not returned home for a month.
“Can we video call Mommy tonight?”
Su Shengjing smiled. “Of course.”
After showering at night, Su Jiu used her phone to video call An Yuan. Soon, An Yuan picked up the call. “Little Jiu, did you behave well in school today?”
“Of course, I did well.” Su Jiu focused on An Yuan on her phone. “Mommy, when are you coming back? I miss you.”
An Yuan’s gaze suddenly became gentle. “Mommy misses you too.”
She glanced at Su Shengjing and continued, “And your father.”
Su Shengjing looked a little uncomfortable. “Ahem, we’ve been married for so long, yet you’re still so forward about this in front of the kid.”
Su Jiu immediately added, “If you want to say it, just say it! I don’t mind. If Mommy and Daddy have a good relationship, Little Jiu will be happy!”
“Did you hear that?” An Yuan glanced at Su Shengjing.
Su Shengjing was still a little embarrassed. “Some things are better kept between the two of us.”
Deliberately, Su Jiu asked, “Mommy, Daddy, when you’re alone together, do you discuss giving me a younger sibling?”
Su Shengjing’s ears turned red.
“Can’t we dote on only you? Why do you need a sibling?”
Su Jiu puffed up her cheeks. “You’re wasting your good genes!”
“How is that a waste? Didn’t I pass them on to you?” Su Shengjing lightly cuffed her head.
As Little Jiu grew up, she became more beautiful. She was just as cute as she had been as a child. All the netizens said that she had inherited both her parents’ good looks.
Su Shengjing would always feel proud and happy to have a daughter like Su Jiu. Let everyone else be envious, sure. After all, they wouldn’t be able to give birth to a child as beautiful, cute, and smart as Little Jiu.
In his eyes, Little Jiu was the best child in the world. No one else could compare to her.
After the video call with An Yuan ended, Su Jiu was in a good mood. When she returned to her room, she saw that it was still early. Since she wasn’t sleepy, she simply rolled around on her bed before calling the little villain.
The little villain was the same age as Han Siye this year. However, he had skipped grades much more than Su Jiu. He was already in his first year of high school this year, and in another two years, he would go to university. He was a true genius.
The call was picked up very quickly. The little villain’s low and pleasant voice came from the other end. “Hello?”
When Su Jiu heard her baby’s voice, her mood rose. She smiled and said, “Big Brother, what are you doing? Did I disturb your rest?”
Rong Si seriously listened to her. “You didn’t.”
“So what are you doing?”
“Reading.”
Su Jiu was speechless.
His answer is always so concise.. However, on account of his pleasant voice, I forgive him!
