Chapter 752 What Gift Do You Want?

Su Jiu guiltily whispered, “Daddy, that was a joke. Besides, that champion was supposed to hang onto someone else.”

“No matter what, how can you joke around like this? I think you’re the one who’s counting money for someone else after being sold!”

Su Jiu knew that in the eyes of the elders, that was no different from teasing him. Unable to refute her father, she could only go forward to hug his arm and act shy. “Daddy, don’t be angry. I’ll just not play that hero next time?”

His daughter looked at him pitifully as if she were afraid that he would get angry. Su Shengjing took a deep breath; he suddenly couldn’t be angry at her anymore.

Every time Su Jiu did this, Su Shengjing’s mind was filled with thoughts of why couldn’t he have had a son. If he had a son instead, he would have directly hit him. The key was, what could he do to his daughter?

As long as she acted shy and he gave in, there was nothing he could do.

Su Shengjing was helpless. He stroked her hair and said, “There are many scumbags in this world. Girls have to protect themselves. Don’t be fooled by a few words from a scumbag!”

Su Jiu laughed and hugged Su Shengjing. She said, “With Daddy protecting me, how could I be fooled? If a scumbag wants to lie to me, he has to get past Daddy first.”

Su Shengjing glared at her. “Don’t talk nonsense. I mean it. If you really get fooled, you won’t even have a place to cry. I won’t talk to you.”

Su Jiu slyly smiled. “Really?”

Su Shengjing choked. “No!”

Su Jiu knew that he would say that.

Although her father was a little naggy sometimes and had said the same words dozens of times, she understood that it was because he cared about her; he was doing it for her own good.

Suddenly, Su Shengjing thought of something and lovingly looked at Su Jiu. “Oh yes, baby, your birthday is coming soon. What present do you want this year?”

It was only then that Su Jiu remembered that her sixteenth birthday was in a few days. Her father actually remembered it more clearly than she had.

Her heart warmed, and she hugged Su Shengjing again. She then looked up at him with her fair face and obediently said, “Little Jiu doesn’t want anything. As long as Daddy and Mommy are with me on my birthday.”

Su Shengjing’s gaze softened. He patted her head again. “Of course.”

Not only would he celebrate her birthday with her, but he would also hold a birthday party for her. How could he let his daughter’s birthday be shabby?

***

Two days before Su Jiu’s birthday, Su Shengjing invited an organizer to prepare a birthday party for his precious daughter and started to send out invitations.

At night, Su Jiu lay on the bed and took out her phone to call Rong Si.

Rong Si picked up her call as fast as ever. Su Jiu first asked him about his recent situation as usual and whether his research was going smoothly. Then, she tentatively asked, “Big Brother, do you know what day it will be in two days?”

“I do. It’s your birthday.”

Rong Si had never forgotten her birthday.

He still remembers.

Su Jiu smiled and asked in anticipation, “Then, will you come back?”

Rong Si was silent for a few seconds. “I might not be able to. The professor wants to submit the research report in the next two days. There’s not enough time.”

So he can’t come back?

Su Jiu suddenly felt an indescribable sense of loss in her heart. She didn’t feel excited about her birthday anymore. Pursing her lips, she said, “I see…”
