After the Special Assistant parked the car, he opened the rear door.
Bo Shiyue, holding a food box in one hand and leading the little girl with the other, walked toward the car.
Enticed by the delicious food, the little girl stared longingly at the food box, unable to resist licking her lips. The moistened corners of her mouth looked utterly tempting.
Bo Shiyue couldn’t help but give her a light peck.
The little girl looked up, her big eyes blinking twice, her face full of innocence. She didn’t dare resist Bo Shiyue’s “tyranny” in the slightest.
Once seated in the car, Bo Shiyue placed the food box to the side and gestured for the little girl to sit properly in her seat.
The Special Assistant driving in the front silently raised the partition in the middle.
Out of sight, out of mind!
Eating dog food first thing in the morning would surely cause indigestion!
Unable to get any food, Mu Wantang was visibly unhappy. Even when Bo Shiyue leaned in to kiss her, she refused.
Though she still sat obediently, with her hands resting on her knees, looking every bit the well-behaved student.
Her slightly pouted lips and the occasional eye-rolling, however, betrayed her true feelings.
Bo Shiyue loved teasing her, treating her like a little girl who never grew up, so adorable every single day.
He opened the food box, took out a small cake, and waved it in front of her.
Mu Wantang excitedly reached for it, only to watch as the cake was merely dangled before her before moving toward the man’s mouth, where he took a bite.
Frustrated and angry, Mu Wantang tried to hit him with her hand, but her right wrist was firmly handcuffed to his.
She could only use her left hand to give a symbolic tap on his shoulder.
“Give it to me!”
The little girl was both haughty and adorably fierce.
She curled one hand into a claw-like gesture and even let out a playful “Grrr~” at him.
Bo Shiyue crossed his legs, leaning back against the leather seat. His entire demeanor exuded a lazy yet innate nobility and dominance. He glanced sideways at the little girl, a faint smile curling his lips.
“Then coax me a little.”
He could tell she was in high spirits, clearly up to no good!
Just two days ago, she had tried to sneak away, and after two days of punishment, she hadn’t learned her lesson at all.
No wonder he was upset!
Mu Wantang knew right away he was doing it on purpose. He was a big bad guy, the worst of the worst!
Stomping her foot in anger, she began counting old grievances on her fingers. “That night after you punished me, you clearly said you wouldn’t touch me for a week!”
“But the very next day, you still…”
Bo Shiyue raised an eyebrow, resting his elbow on the armrest between the two seats. His long, slender fingers lightly supported his forehead as he gazed at her.
A meaningful, sly glint flashed in his eyes.
“Hmm, which night?”
“There have been many punishments. You’ll have to be more specific!”
His voice was cool and utterly languid. When facing the little girl, even his usual aloof and distant aura softened considerably.
Mu Wantang grew shy from his teasing, her pretty face flushing pink.
He poked her puffed-up cheek, and she let out a dissatisfied whimper.
“It’s hot! The car is too hot!”
Bo Shiyue nodded in agreement, not exposing the little girl’s true thoughts.
But his intense gaze remained fixed on her, waiting for her explanation. A long moment later, the car stopped in the parking lot next to the hospital’s inpatient building. The Special Assistant quickly opened the door and left.
He was afraid that if he stayed any longer, he’d turn into a different color!
No wonder Miss Mu kept trying to run away every few days.
Lord Bo is absolutely a cunning big bad wolf who only knows how to bully the innocent white rabbit!
Seeing the Special Assistant get out of the car, Mu Wantang also insisted on getting out, but the handcuffs on their wrists restricted her movement.
Mu Wantang lowered her head, nervously rubbing her small hands as she spoke.
“It, it was the night before last, the day I ran away!”
She stammered as she spoke.
Bo Shiyue narrowed his eyes, his lips curling as he uttered, “So you do remember it was the day you ran away!”
As soon as his words fell, the young girl pouted with grievance, sobbed twice, and large teardrops plopped onto the back of her hand.
Soon, her face was covered in tears.
Her small shoulders trembled with each sob as she choked out an accusation.
“You yelled at me! How could you yell at me!”
Bo Shiyue: “……..”
He had to clean up his own mess.
Bo Shiyue quickly handed her the small cake and immediately began humbly coaxing his little girl.
“I was wrong, it’s all my fault. I shouldn’t have yelled at you. I’m a big bad guy!”
Mu Wantang took the cake while still managing to kick him.
The perfectly pressed suit trousers now bore half a shoeprint from her kick.
While wiping the girl’s tears, Bo Shiyue cautiously asked, “Still angry?”
Mu Wantang continued eating her cake between sobs. When she turned her gaze, tears had already gathered and were swirling in her eyes.
As if warning that if he dared say another harsh word, she would immediately burst into tears.
Bo Shiyue, who was decisive in business and ruthless in the Bo family, whom everyone in Xia Country respectfully addressed as “Lord Bo”, was completely helpless against this young girl.
Especially when he saw her cry.
Her brief crying session felt like someone was slowly carving his heart with a knife. The piercing pain made him want to slap himself twice.
He kept coaxing until the girl finally laughed twice and happily gave him a loud kiss on the cheek.
“Uncle, let’s hurry up and go!”
Bo Shiyue was quite pleased. Usually the girl called him directly by name.
Only when she was acting spoiled to get something, or afraid of punishment after doing something wrong, would she reluctantly call him “Uncle, Oppa, Darling!”
As for “Husband” – in three years, she had only said it a handful of times.
Though young, Mu Wantang always kept her promises.
She had promised Madam Bo yesterday that she would visit Xi Ning at the hospital today, and she was determined to come.
Bo Shiyue held the girl’s hand, occasionally using a handkerchief to wipe the corners of her mouth, while the Special Assistant followed behind carrying gifts, getting fed endless dog food.
When they reached the hospital room door,
Mu Wantang had just finished her cake and let out a soft burp.
Pursing her lips, she looked at Bo Shiyue helplessly.
In a soft voice she said, “So… unladylike~”
Bo Shiyue wiped the cream from her lips while gently pinching her small nose. “Nonsense, our Tangtang is the most ladylike and gentle!”
The Special Assistant behind them couldn’t help but twitch his mouth.
Lord Bo, do you even believe your own words?
This isn’t like when Miss Mu was chasing you while throwing vases!
The hospital room door opened, and the Special Assistant placed the gifts on a nearby table.
Xi Ning, lying on the hospital bed, immediately exclaimed excitedly, “Cousin, I knew you would come to see me!”
Before she could finish speaking, she spotted Mu Wantang standing behind Bo Shiyue, peeking out with just half of her small head visible.
Xi Ning’s previously good mood instantly vanished.
She blurted out without thinking, “What are you doing here, you bitch?”
