”Daddy, you came to see me!”

Su Xiaobei hugged Xiao Luo's thigh, then lifting her head, she looked at Xiao Luo gleefully with her big eyes. Her face lit with a smile full of joy and excitement.

”Bei Bei! Haha, yeah, we made a promise, didn't we?”

Xiao Luo gave her a warm smile as he reached out and rubbed her little head.

”My daddy, give me a hug! I want a hug!”

Su Xiaobei stretched her little arms toward Xiao Luo, waiting for him to pick her up.

Xiao Luo simply could not resist, and he was beaming from ear to ear as he bent down and lifted Su Xiaobei into his arms. There was something magical about this little girl, she had an innate charm that somehow compelled him to love and protect her like his own.

As they watched how the two got along, Luo Pingxiang and Aunt Lee were both dumbfounded. They very familiar with Su Xiaobei's introverted personality, she was usually wary of strangers, and aside from Su Li, they had never seen her being so attached to anyone else before. What they witnessed right now came as a big surprise to them.

Su Li came hurrying down the stairs, elegant in the way she carried herself, but she did not seem pleasant at all. Instead, she appeared agitated, and her expression was cold.

”Su Xiaobei, if you dare run down from upstairs again, I'll ground you from watching cartoons for a week.”

Su Xiaobei clung on to Xiao Luo's neck tightly and buried her face in Xiao Luo's chest as if seeking his protection. ”I won't do that again,” she said, almost in a whisper.

Seeing her pout her little lips, Su Li couldn't bring herself to remain angry. She softened her tone and said, ”Get down now. Hurry up and let Aunt Lee bath you. I have important things to discuss with him.”

”I don't want to leave daddy.” Su Xiaobei held on tightly to Xiao Luo's neck.

”Listen to me!” Su Li said, raising her voice.

”Bei Bei, listen to your mummy and be a good girl, alright. I won't leave ever again. I'll be staying by your side now.” Xiao Luo coaxed the little girl, speaking with a kind, gentle voice.

”Really?”

”Yes.”

Xiao Luo nodded and gently put Su Xiaobei down.

”Bei Bei, let's go for a shower.”

Aunt Lee came forward to take Su Xiaobei by the hand and brought her upstairs for a bath.

Su Li glanced at Xiao Luo and said, ”Have a seat.”

Xiao Luo did not act any differently in the presence of such a celebrity, and he casually took a seat on the leather sofa in the living room.

Luo Pingxiang brought them a pot of hot tea, served them both a glass each, then stepped away to a corner and left them to discuss matters.

”Xiao Luo…”

”Miss Su, before we get into the main topic, may I ask you a question?” Xiao Luo interjected before Su Li could complete her sentence.

”What question?” Su Li responded, her eyebrows slightly knitted.

Su Li sat looking poised and composed. ”It's the apartment opposite this one,” she said.

”Opposite this one?”

”It has a built-up area of 130 square meters, and it's luxuriously furnished. For your information, it is worth more than 30 million—which is probably several hundred times better than that house you rented in Jiangcheng City,” Su Li said.

Xiao Luo was surprised by her condescending tone, but he ignored it. Was the 30-million-dollar apartment really for him? Wasn't she too generous in spending a fortune on him?
