Nobody's going to hit her!
Lu Meng, who was snacking on chips nearby, was stunned.
Mu Jingxi had taken leave of his senses—his sister-in-law was disciplining her child, and he'd rushed out to intervene. Really, it was not his business.
Wasn't he afraid his sister-in-law would knock him out?
Little Nuomi wore a serious expression, echoing Mu Jingxi, "Right, you can't hit Little Nuomi!"
If Qiao An hadn't known that Mu Jingxi was still unaware Little Nuomi was his daughter, she'd have thought he was a father doting on his child.
She stretched out her hand, "Qiao Xiaonuo, come here."
Little Nuomi shrank back fearfully, asking timidly, "Mommy, can you tell Little Nuomi if you still want to hit me when I come over?"
"Come here first."
Little Nuomi cocked her head and thought about it before shaking her head at last.
She wouldn't go over.
She was scared.
Burying her head in Mu Jingxi's neck, she said, "Uncle, Little Nuomi is scared."
