1216 Can’t Wait to Call You Husband
The mention of marriage surprised Su Jiu. Her heart suddenly beat very fast, and she got a little embarrassed. “He often tells me that he can’t wait to marry me. But, will Daddy agree?”

An Yuan lowered her voice even more. “Your father hasn’t been sleeping well for the past few months. Sometimes, he’s inexplicably dejected and depressed. I asked him what was wrong, and he said that as long as he thinks that you’ve grown up and will leave him one day, he won’t feel good.”

An Yuan knew very well what Little Jiu meant to Su Shengjing. She was the one who had given him confidence and hope in life and led him out of his depression and darkness. She was the apple of his eye.

Su Jiu stole a glance at Su Shengjing, who was sitting opposite her. He was still talking to Rong Si about investments. She could see admiration for Rong Si in his eyes.

It had been a long time since Rong Si had proposed. His father hadn’t relented. He really couldn’t bear to part with her.

Su Jiu’s heart ached.

She loved her father so much that she couldn’t bear to leave him and her mother. However, she also loved Rong Si and really wanted to start a small family with him.

Perhaps this was the dilemma she had to face as a grown-up.

After having breakfast, Rong Si had to go to the office.

Su Jiu walked him out of the villa and saw him open his arms to her. His eyes were gentle and doting. “Let me hug you again.”

Su Jiu smiled at him and plunged into his arms.

Rong Si immediately hugged her tightly and buried his face in her neck.

If he could, he really wanted to be with her all the time. The time he spent with her didn’t seem to be enough.

Now, just hugging her again made him feel satisfied as if his entire heart was full.

Su Jiu also leaned against his warm and firm chest and reached out to hug his waist. She deliberately asked him, “Mommy just told me that Daddy doesn’t want me to get married. What should I do?”

Rong Si helplessly smiled. “If he doesn’t agree, I can only let him down. I have to get married.”

This was something he had dreamed of ever since he was young. Even if he had to resort to any means, he would marry Little Jiu.

Su Jiu blinked and burst into laughter. “Why? Are you saying you want to elope?”

“Yes,” he said seriously. “Anyway, if I can’t marry you, I’ll go crazy.”

He wasn’t joking.

Rong Si stiffened from head to toe. He let go of her and locked his deep eyes on her. His gaze was one of surprise, but it mostly contained controlled excitement. “Are you serious?”

Husband…

Rong Si was stunned again. Then, his ears turned visibly red.

He suddenly felt that this word sounded so pleasant when it came out of her mouth.

So much so that his heart surged with intense anticipation, and his breathing became a little unstable. “Call me that again.”

Su Jiu did not expect him to make such a request. She pursed her lips and was too embarrassed to look at his passionate and expectant eyes. Tiptoeing, she quickly whispered into his ear, “Husband.”
