He bought her three scoops of ice cream in different colors . Su Yan carried her with a hand while he held the cup for her with the other .
Xiaojiao happily ate the ice cream as they walked in the crowd . In no time, she had smeared her mouth with ice cream .
They took the elevator in the shopping mall since the movie theater was at the top level .
The elevator stopped at every level, and the adults were all anxious . Xiaojiao was focused on her ice cream and was completely in her own world .
“Sorry, the movie slot is full . The next show is at 9:40 p . m . ”
When they reached the ticketing counter, the staff informed them that the next available screening time was nearly two hours away .
Su Yan glanced at his watch and said to Xiaojiao, “If we watch the movie at 9:40 p . m . , it would end at 11:30 p . m . It’s too late for Xiaojiao . ”
He pressed his lips as she waited for the lass to respond .
Xiaojiao heard him and the corners of her mouth sunk . “But I want to watch . ”
She was really excited to watch a movie and now suddenly she couldn’t? It felt as though someone had drenched her in cold water .
“But it’s late . If Xiaojiao doesn’t have enough sleep, you can’t grow taller . ” Su Yan gently stroked her hair to coax her .
Xiaojiao understood so she didn’t whine or protest . But she bowed her head, looking disappointed and sad . Her expression made Su Yan’s heart ache .
Su Yan couldn’t bear to see her in such a state, so he glanced around . Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of a long queue across the theater .
Instinctively, he raised his head and saw a banner . ‘National ice skating champion coach…’
His eyes gleamed as he pointed in the direction ahead . “Xiaojiao, there is an ice skating rink ahead . I’ll bring you there to ice skate alright?”
Xiaojiao followed his finger and turned in that direction . There were throngs of people crowded around the rink and it looked exciting .
She blinked and pouted since she still wanted to watch the movie .
But Uncle said that it was too late to watch a movie . She should ice skate instead, she didn’t want to go home, anyway .
Xiaojiao deliberated for a while before nodding . “Okay, ice skate . ”
As if she was forced to .
Su Yan caressed her chubby cheeks and promised, “During the weekend, I’ll bring you out to watch the movie . ”
Xiaojiao’s eyes sparkled and she offered her little finger to Su Yan . “Promise!”
Su Yan did the same and promised her with his finger as well .
He was wearing a formal suit, and his height and manners already thrust him in the limelight . And to top it off, his gorgeous looks had caused ladies of all ages to cast him additional glances .
When all the ladies saw how he interacted with Xiaojiao, their eyes overflowed with envy .
How they wished that they were the little girl in his arms .
Su Yan had decided to ice skate on an impulse, so naturally, they didn’t bring any equipment along . But that wasn’t a problem for the rich, so he purchased the full set without hesitation .
The storekeeper passed him two complete sets of equipment after he paid .
“Mister, our coaches here are all from the national teams . And we even have a champion coach who specializes in teaching children . ” The storekeeper promoted the lessons that they provided to Su Yan .
