Li Shengming was a good friend of Jin Hong's, and although Sui Zhi had met him a few times before, he didn't know him very well. However, in his previous life, Li Shengming had helped Sui Zhi many times.
Jin Hong bounced the little one in his arms, and Sui Yan tugged at his clothes, "Dad, I can walk by myself."
Jin Hong tried to scare her, "Ah Yan, if you walk by yourself, someone will snatch you away."
The little girl pouted, "Dad, you're lying."
Sui Zhi advised his sister, "Ah Yan, you won't be able to keep up with us if you walk by yourself."
Sui Yan blinked and accepted the reason, "Oh, alright then."
Li Shengming mercilessly mocked Jin Hong, "You don't even know how to coax your daughter."
Jin Hong's face was cold, "At least I have a daughter."
Li Shengming: "..."
Sui Zhi almost laughed out loud but suppressed it into a cough, "Uncle Li, can we go see the costumes and shooting location first?"
Li Shengming was too lazy to bicker with Jin Hong. As he led the way, he said, "I was planning to take you guys there anyway...I wanted your brother to come along too earlier, but he's in 8th grade and I didn't want to disturb his studies."
Sui Zhi was not surprised at all. He nodded without saying anything. He knew even if Li Shengming had invited Sui Yu as a consultant, he probably wouldn't have come. Sui Yu had always only been interested in business.
As for being a model, he could probably forget about it.
Jin Hong held Sui Yan in his arms as she looked around curiously. He couldn't help but pinch her cheeks, "What are you looking at, Ah Yan?"
The little girl said seriously, "Dad, will we see many pretty older sisters later like that one just now?"
The receptionist wasn't actually very good looking, but she had an exceptional temperament.
Li Shengming found the little girl's words amusing, "There might be more handsome older brothers."
Sui Yan thought about it seriously, "More good-looking than my brother?"
Li Shengming glanced at Sui Zhi, "...Probably not." The Sui family genes were truly powerful!
Sui Yan sighed a little disappointedly, "Oh."
Li Shengming casually said, "Little one, every older brother is good looking in different ways too."
The little girl said solemnly, "That's not true!" Her filter was quite thick, aimed specifically at pretty older sisters.
In short...it was obvious the little girl really liked playing with older sisters.
So...she was a fan of beauty after all.
Sui Yan still didn't realize her true nature was exposed. By the time they arrived at the costume department, her eyes were shining brightly.
Jin Hong looked around to make sure Sui Yan couldn't run off by herself before putting her down.
The moment the little girl's feet touched the ground, she tried to run off. Sui Zhi grabbed her by the collar, "Ah Yan, no running around."
The little girl obediently stood still, "I won't run around!"
Sui Zhi: "Oh." A child's words really couldn't be trusted.
He didn't let go, only held the little girl's hand as they walked instead.
The siblings' exceptional looks attracted many glances.
Soon, a woman in professional attire walked towards them.
Sui Yan noticed her instantly, and her eyes lit up.
The little girl tugged at Sui Zhi's sleeve, signaling for him to bend down. She then whispered, "Brother, that older sister is so pretty."
Sui Zhi was baffled, "What?"
Sui Yan was a little excited, "She's coming over!"
Sui Zhi was still confused, just as he was about to ask further, the woman had arrived before them, smiling brightly as she asked, "Are you two little ones here for a photoshoot?"
Sui Zhi frowned, "I'm not a little one."
Sui Yan's eyes were round and shining like a fawn's, "Sister, my brother is here for the photoshoot!"
Sui Zhi: "..." Why does this kid tell everyone everything?
The woman's smile grew wider as she stroked the little girl's head, "What an adorable little girl, and your brother is so handsome too."
Sui Yan's eyes curved happily, "Thank you, sister. You're super, super pretty too!"
Sui Zhi was exasperated. He asked, "Excuse me, but who are you?"
The woman pointed behind her, "We work over there, would you like to take a look?"
Sui Zhi understood vaguely. He looked down at the little girl, "Ah Yan, do you want to go take a look?"
Though Sui Yan talked boldly, when faced with crowds she didn't actually dare to. "Brother, I don't dare to."
Sui Zhi chuckled lightly, "It's alright, brother will go with you."
The little girl hiding behind her brother nodded, "Okay."
Zhou Lin's eyes shone brightly, she almost couldn't resist reaching out to squeeze the little girl's chubby cheeks.
She brought the two children to the costume department where even more people wanted to squeeze Sui Yan's round little face.
Sui Yan looked at the flashy clothes around her in astonishment and tugged at Sui Zhi, "Brother, these clothes are so pretty!"
Just then, another girl who looked fresh out of college came over gracefully holding a carton of milk. She handed it to Sui Yan demurely, "Little one, would you like some milk?"
Sui Yan blinked, not knowing what to do. Sui Zhi took the milk and put it in the little girl's hands, then gently asked her, "Ah Yan, what do you say when you receive a gift?"
Sui Yan's little face flushed, "Thank you, sister. You're so pretty."
Sui Zhi: "..." Something feels off?
But the girl's heart melted from Sui Yan's cuteness. "Such an adorable little girl, what's your name?"
Sui Yan answered carefully, "Sister, I'm called Sui Yan. This is my brother Sui Zhi, and this is Ti Zi."
She pointed at the little white dog Sui Zhi had been holding. With each word, the light in that girl's eyes grew brighter.
Afraid she would frighten the little one, Zhou Lin walked over and jokingly scolded, "What are you doing? Don't scare the child."
The girl also awkwardly laughed and ran off.
Zhou Lin patted the little girl's head, "Little one, would you like to take pictures with your brother?"
Sui Yan was confused and looked towards Sui Zhi, "Brother?"
Just as Sui Zhi was about to say something, Jin Hong's voice rang out.
"Ah Yan, Little Zhi, you've come this far already?" The man strode over.
He came with Li Shengming. Zhou Lin politely greeted them the moment she saw them.
"Director Li, President Sui."
