189: Doting On Her

Doting On Her

Old Mistress Sheng's heart melted at the thought of Su Jiu. How nice would it be if she were my granddaughter? I would've boasted about her to all my friends. 1

Sheng Tianci replied to his mother, "Of course I want to!"

He really wanted a daughter like Su Jiu.

If he had a daughter like that, he would dote on her as much as possible.

Old Master Sheng snapped. "So what? There's no use thinking about it. You need to take action! If you don't take action, you won't have a daughter no matter how badly you wish for one!"

Old Mistress Sheng chimed in. "That's right. Hurry up! Both your brothers don't want any more children because they're afraid to have another mischievous son. So, you're the only one who can have a daughter for the family. We're pinning all our hopes on you, understand?"

Sheng Tianci was speechless.

This task was too difficult.

After all, the Sheng family did not have any daughters for generations. It was the reason his parents loved Little Jiu so much.

He helplessly said, "I don't have a wife yet. Isn't it too early to talk about having a child?"

Old Mistress Sheng immediately said, "Then find yourself a wife. Stop wasting time! Also, tell me honestly. Were you talking to a girl just now? Are you in a relationship?"

Sheng Tianci felt gloomy. "No, we've only known each other for a short while. A relationship? She'll get scared if I ask her out so suddenly, okay? She might think I'm a lecher."

Huh?

The Sheng couple looked at each other. See? He admitted that he's really chatting with a girl. No matter what, he has taken a big step forward!

Old Mistress Sheng curiously asked, "Who is that girl? Do we know her? What kind of person is she?"

"You guys don't know each other. She…" Song Wanqiu's face appeared in Sheng Tianci's mind. When she smiles, her eyes crinkle and her lips curve into a beautiful shape. She looks very pretty.

"She's beautiful and gentle. She's just… really nice."

"She's a good girl, then! What are you waiting for? Pursue her if you like her!" Old Mistress Sheng was anxious.

It was not that she felt superior to others. However, with the Sheng family's status, many girls were dying to marry into the Sheng family. Moreover, she thought that her youngest son was quite good-looking. He was as handsome as a celebrity. Even amongst the other wealthy heirs of the big families, Sheng Tianci was one of the better-looking ones. Why was it so difficult for him to date someone?

Unable to rebuke them, Sheng Tianci relented. "Alright, alright, I will work hard!"

He did have a good impression of Song Wanqiu. However, he did not know what her thoughts were. Perhaps, she was not interested in him, and he was just overthinking.

If only I had met her earlier… She would not have been together with another man and gotten hurt. She would not have to raise her child alone and lead an impoverished life.

The Sheng couple were delighted to hear such an answer. They looked forward to it as well. Old Mistress Sheng gently patted her son's head and said, "I hope these are not just empty words."

Sheng Tianci looked at his phone, which was still showing his chat with Song Wanqiu. He smiled and replied, "You bet."

The next day, Su Shengjing brought Su Jiu to the kindergarten to submit her homework. Then, he asked the teachers if they could excuse Su Jiu from school as they had to film the third episode of "Daddy, Let's Go!". The teachers agreed without any hesitation.

They had watched the first two episodes multiple times and were looking forward to the third episode. Naturally, they wished that Su Jiu and Su Shengjing could quickly film the episode.
