He casually took out a check and handed it to me.

"Here! Her mother passed away early, I just want my daughter to be happy!"

My eyes revealed helplessness.

“Mr. Zhou, no need for money! I promise to spend the day with her.”

I took the clothes and bag and got off the bus.

I thought I'd just accompany her for a day, and then prepare to go back.

—

On the day of the parent-teacher meeting.

I'm wearing head-to-toe designer brands!

A black dress from a high-end luxury brand, five-centimeter high heels, and a crocodile skin bag.

She let her long, black hair fall down her chest.

As Zhou Yifeng slowly descended the stairs, his Alphard was already parked downstairs.

I sat down.

Zhou Xiaojiu ran over and greeted me warmly.

"Sister! You're so beautiful! You have such a great presence!"

I smiled awkwardly.

He looked up at Zhou Yifeng, whose face was gentle but whose demeanor was cold and stern.

He looked at me for two seconds.

Then he looked at Zhou Xiaojiu.

His tone was gentle. "Sit tight! Be careful while driving!"

She sat back down in her child seat.

We arrived at the kindergarten.

The principal and teachers came out to personally greet Zhou Yifeng and warmly greeted him.

Zhou Xiaojiu held my hand and whispered in my ear.

"They all love to flatter my dad."

“That’s normal! It’s just human nature!” I said, holding her hand.

We walked inside.

Zhou Yifeng caught up and walked alongside us.

Upon arriving at school,

The young teacher stood on the stage, praising Zhou Xiaojiu for being smart.

She even winked at Zhou Yifeng twice.

...

On the way back,

She happily sang nursery rhymes the whole time.

"Sister! Would you like to come to my house as a guest?"

"I won't go, I have my own things to do! We'll do it next time!" I replied softly.

“Your sister has been with you all day, she should rest for a while!” Zhou Yifeng said gently to his daughter.

She frowned in displeasure.

She turned to me and asked, "Sister! Don't you like my dad?"

I was incredibly embarrassed. "Xiao Jiu! I actually have a boyfriend. I'm not suitable for your dad! He..."

Before I could even say anything, she burst into tears.

"Waaaaaah..."

"I want my older sister!"

"I won't listen!"

She cried so hard.

I looked at Zhou Yifeng helplessly.

He glared at me.

I couldn't help but feel frustrated. What could I do? I didn't want this either!

I took a piece of candy out of my bag.

"Xiao Jiu, don't cry! Please listen to me."

"I appreciate that you like me, but relationships are a two-way street. Your father is a great man, and he will find you an even better mother in the future!" I reassured you gently.

She shook her head, her eyes filled with tears.

"My dad is great. Why don't you break up with your boyfriend? After all, he's just your boyfriend, and you're not married!"

I figured I'd already offended them anyway.

"Xiao Jiu, I've actually been divorced! I'm really not good enough for your father!"

Zhou Yifeng frowned slightly upon hearing this.

"An excuse! You just don't like my dad!"

"Xiao Jiu! Stop crying!" Zhou Yifeng finally spoke up.

Xiao Jiu started sobbing softly.

"Sister! Would you like to come to my house for a while?"

"Xiao Jiu...I..."

Zhou Yifeng's tone was authoritative. "Dr. Yao, please go!"

I went with him to his house.

A private villa stands in a tranquil and beautiful setting, surrounded by lush greenery and blooming flowers. The villa exudes an air of elegance and serenity.

The villa was heavily guarded, with guards in black suits standing inside and out, their expressions serious.

When I first set foot in this territory

Zhou Xiaojiu's soft little hand was already tightly gripping my sleeve, and she couldn't wait to pull me towards her room.

Upon entering her room, the first thing that catches the eye is a whole row of wardrobes filled with all sorts of princess dresses.

Those dresses, some as pink as the clouds, others as white as snow, each seemed to carry the purest and most beautiful dreams of a little girl.

A radiant smile bloomed on her face.

She exclaimed excitedly, "Sister! Come and see! Which dress do you think looks best on me?"

I gently stroked her soft hair and exclaimed sincerely, "Mmm! Little Jiu is so pretty and adorable. She'd look like a fairy no matter what princess dress she wore!"

Hearing my praise, Xiao Jiu smiled even more happily.

But the next moment, she suddenly blinked her big eyes and asked curiously, "Sister! Is your boyfriend as handsome as my dad?"

I was slightly taken aback, then nodded.

He responded, "Handsome."

However, Xiao Jiu didn't seem satisfied with this answer. She pouted and muttered unhappily, "Hmph, I don't believe it!"

It looked like Xiao Jiu was about to cry again.

I quickly knelt down and gently coaxed, "Little Jiu, be good! Don't be sad, let me finish what I have to say, okay?"

She looked up at me with teary eyes, hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded.

So I took a deep breath.

"Feelings are a private matter between two people. Take your father and me, for example. We don't have a deep emotional foundation between us, and we don't like each other."

"So, if we're forced to live together, we'll both feel miserable and stifled, and it will be very difficult for us to truly find happiness!"

I paused and carefully observed Xiao Jiu's changing expressions.

I saw her blink, as if she was trying to understand what I was saying.
