Su Luo was a head taller than Su Jiani, so he could only squat down, gently hold Su Jiani's small hand, look at her pale face, and speak in a tone that was gentler than ever before.
“Nini, I admit that at first, it was because of the promise, but it’s not like that anymore.”
"Just because you are you, I want to raise you well. You are my only family. I'm so angry because it hurts me to see you hurt."
“I’ll feel like I haven’t taken good care of you, that I haven’t fulfilled my responsibilities as a good father, so please don’t do such dangerous things again, okay?”
Su Jiani burst into laughter through her tears and threw herself into Su Luo's arms.
"I'm so happy."
Su Luo was being choked by Su Jiani and could hardly breathe, so she said helplessly.
"Hey, don't change the subject. You have to listen to what I'm telling you, okay?"
Su Jianni released Su Luo, sniffed, and pouted.
"I won't listen! I told you, I'm just not skilled enough. I won't get hurt next time I cook. I'm so smart, you're just looking down on me!"
Su Luo was completely baffled by Su Jiani's thought process and said with embarrassment.
"Who looks down on you? You're only twelve years old, what are you doing learning to cook?"
Su Jianni sat down at the table, picked up a piece of cola chicken wing and put it in Su Luo's bowl, smiling as she spoke.
"Eat quickly and try my cooking!"
Su Luo glanced at the chicken wings and knew roughly what they would taste like—it must be incredibly bitter.
The chicken wings were dark and looked like they were covered in a layer of coal. How could anyone eat them?
Su Jiani was extremely confident and urged.
"Try it. It's so dark because it was overcooked. I saw a food blogger say that it tastes better when it's overcooked, otherwise it won't be cooked through and you might get bird flu."
"Okay, I'll eat..."
Su Luo frowned, picked up a chicken wing, put it in her mouth, and took a small bite.
Sure enough, it was bitter, fishy, sweet, and had a medicinal taste.
He forced himself to swallow it, saying something he didn't mean: "It's...it's quite delicious."
"Hehe, I knew it would taste good."
Su Jianni picked up a piece herself, put it in her mouth triumphantly, chewed it only once, and then put on the mask of pain.
He bent down, hurriedly grabbed the trash can, and vomited.
I vomited for a while, then started coughing, and tears came out with my cough.
Su Luo handed over a tissue and couldn't help but laugh.
Su Jiani took the tissue and looked at Su Luo with a resentful expression.
"You're lying! It tastes awful, but you said it was delicious! Humph!"
"It's good that you know it tastes bad; don't make it again next time."
God knows how much courage it took to swallow that charcoal-like piece of chicken.
Su Jianni, not to be outdone, served Su Luo another bowl of soup, saying, "The soup should be fine."
Su Luo didn't have much hope, but after taking a small sip from the bowl, her eyes lit up.
Wow, this tomato and egg soup is really good!
Su Jianni was afraid that Su Luo was acting, so she took a spoonful and licked it lightly with the tip of her tongue.
Huh?
It tastes great!
She really has a talent for cooking, though not much.
After dinner, Su Luo helped Su Jiani with her homework for a while before returning to her room and climbing into bed.
I'm taking her shopping for clothes tomorrow, so I should go to bed early tonight.
Perhaps he was too tired, Su Luo had intended to get up early, but he slept until dawn, and Su Jiani did not wake him up.
After the two had a quick bite to eat, Su Luo rode his electric scooter with Su Jiani on the back and headed straight for the mall.
There were many people as soon as I entered the mall.
Su Jianni immediately gripped Su Luo's hand tightly, afraid that she would get separated from her father.
Su Luo gently squeezed it back, a happy smile spreading across her face.
The happiest thing for me is taking Su Jiani shopping after I get paid.
Whenever Su Jiani received a gift, her eyes would be filled with adoration as she looked at him, which greatly satisfied his vanity.
Su Luo led Su Jiani up the escalator.
When we reached the clothing section on the fifth floor, I chose a branded children's clothing store, let go of her hand, and said generously.
"Choose one, no need to look at the price."
I just received a salary of over ten thousand, which is enough to buy clothes for my daughter. Also, I have a private photoshoot with Nami Ozawa scheduled for tomorrow, which will earn me a reward of one hundred thousand.
Su Jiani blinked excitedly.
"real?"
Su Luo had taken him shopping many times and was almost always willing to grant his requests, but she had never said that she didn't need to look at the prices.
Su Luo curled her lips into a smug smile, "More real than pearls!"
"Yay!"
Su Jiani excitedly rushed into the new products section of the counter.
The sales clerk overheard their conversation and eagerly followed them.
"Hey beautiful, feel free to pick anything you like. These are all our newest styles. If you find anything you like, you can try them on in the fitting room."
Su Jiani was overjoyed by the saleswoman's compliments and pointed with her little hand: "I want this, and this too."
"Alright!"
The sales clerk deftly took down the two outfits that Su Jiani had chosen and led her to the fitting room.
Another salesperson walked up to Su Luo and smiled.
"Hey beautiful, don't just focus on your daughter! Is there anything you like that you'd like to try on? The brand has a promotion today; buy three items and get a 5% discount."
Su Luo was extremely embarrassed. "No, no need. Um, I'm her father."
The sales clerk apologized repeatedly: "I'm sorry, I really didn't notice... Why don't you take a break and have some water?"
He then handed over a cup of tea.
"Thanks."
Su Luo accepted the tea and sat down on a bench in the rest area.
A moment later, the fitting room door opened from the inside, and the daughter walked in confidently.
Is it pretty?
Su Luo's eyes lit up.
The double ponytail hairstyle I styled for Su Jianni today suits her light pink Lolita tutu dress so well!
The cinched waist design accentuated the girl's slender waist, making her legs appear long and straight, and she wore white platform high heels.
It's like a fairy tale princess come to life.
"Let's take a look around."
