The woman had tried to drown the little villain twice. When Rong Si had come back in the car, he had been very pale. Su Jiu was worried that something had happened to him.

Su Shengjing frowned. His eyes were still filled with worry, and his voice was exceptionally gentle. “Are you really alright now?”

Su Jiu vigorously nodded and patted her chest. “Yes! I feel that I can eat two bowls of rice now!”

Su Shengjing laughed, but his worries didn’t go away completely.

Everything that had happened today was like a nightmare. Fortunately, he had managed to locate the little girl, and he was able to awaken from this nightmare.

Otherwise, he would have been scared to death.

He once again realized how important his daughter was to him. Even if he had to exchange his life for hers, he was willing to do it!

As Su Shengjing thought about this, he stroked Su Jiu’s hair and said, “Baby, can you really eat two bowls of rice? Then how about I bring you out to have a meal? I’ll let you order some dishes today. You can order whatever you want.”

“Okay, but I want to invite Big Brother too!”

Su Jiu spoke and jumped down from the sofa. She could not wait to see the little villain.

This time, Su Shengjing did not think much of it. That brat had been accidentally involved in this incident. In fact, he was extremely unlucky and had almost lost his life.

He must’ve suffered a huge shock too. It’s only right for us to see if he’s fine.

Su Shengjing carried Su Jiu out and knocked on the door across their house.

The one who opened the door was Song Wanqiu. She looked a bit upset as if she was worried about something.

When she saw Su Jiu, she revealed a faint smile. “Little Jiu, are you here to look for Ah Si?”

Su Jiu nodded and looked inside with her big eyes. When she did not see the little villain, she was a little surprised. “Where’s Big Brother?”

Song Wanqiu pursed her lips. “He’s sick, so he’s resting in his room. Little Jiu, your big brother probably can’t play with you right now. When he recovers, Auntie will ask him to go look for you, okay?”

Sick?

Su Jiu quickly asked, “What illness does Big Brother have?”

Did he catch a cold from falling into the lake?

Su Shengjing also asked, “Is it serious? Should we send him to a hospital?”

Song Wanqiu lowered her eyes. “He’s running a fever. This illness came quite suddenly, and his temperature immediately rose to 39 degrees. I gave him some fever medicine, and he’s asleep now.”

Su Jiu’s heart skipped a beat. “Auntie, can I go in and see him?”

Song Wanqiu smiled. “Of course, you can, but he’s sick with a fever. It won’t be good if you catch his sickness.”

“I’m not afraid!” Su Jiu said as she wriggled in Su Shengjing’s arms. “Daddy, put me down. I want to see my big brother.”

Su Shengjing did not put her down. He only rubbed his forehead against hers and gently said, “Keep still. Daddy will take you there.”

Sheng Tianci, who was behind them, shook his head when he saw Su Shengjing carrying Su Jiu.

Sheng Jing must’ve been frightened. It seems like he hasn’t walked alone ever since he came back. He has been carrying her.

It seemed like Su Shengjing would not let Little Jiu leave his sight anytime soon.

As Sheng Tianci thought that, he unintentionally met Song Wanqiu’s gaze. She smiled at him. “Do you want to come in and have a seat?”

Her smile was very soft, and it washed over him like a spring breeze. He felt as if all the unhappiness from today had been blown away.

Sheng Tianci’s ears turned red. Embarrassed, he said, “Then, then I’ll come in and sit for a while.”

He was a little nervous as he came in. “I’m going to check on the kids too.”

Su Jiu came to the door of the room and saw the little villain, who was sleeping on the bed.
