Xi Ning probably felt emboldened with her parents present and her aunt backing her up.
She became somewhat unrestrained.
Struggling to get off the bed, she made a move to push and shove Mu Wantang.
Bo Shiyue’s gaze had already turned gloomy and dark upon hearing her words, and as she approached, he directly kicked her away.
“The Xi family certainly knows how to raise their children!”
How dare someone insult the little girl he held in the palm of his hand!
President Xi, standing nearby, hadn’t even reacted before his adopted daughter was sent flying by the kick.
Xi Ning’s back hit the hospital bed, and she fell to the floor, lying there for a long while without being able to get up.
Madam Xi walked over to help her up, but before her hand could even touch her.
Xi Ning began wailing and sobbing, “Wuwuwu, it hurts so much, Mommy, my body hurts so much!”
Her pitiful appearance made Mu Wantang’s delicate facial features scrunch up as if she could physically feel how much pain Xi Ning was in.
Then, she rested her little head against Bo Shiyue’s back.
She also pouted, her other hand covering her chest.
“Uncle~ I, I’m in so much pain~”
Hearing this soft, coquettish whine, Bo Shiyue instantly panicked. He quickly pulled the little girl into his arms and asked anxiously,
“Where does it hurt?”
As he spoke, he didn’t forget to instruct his Special Assistant, “Hurry and find a doctor!”
Mu Wantang’s little nose twitched slightly, probably because she had just been crying in the car not long ago.
Now, just pretending to be in pain made her eyes glisten with moisture.
She looked exactly like an injured little deer, her lips puckering repeatedly as she pulled Bo Shiyue’s hand and placed it over her chest. “Here, it hurts so much~”
The man’s large palm touched that softness.
Even through her clothes, he could faintly feel the beating of her heart.
This was the first time the little girl had been so forward in front of others. For a moment, he couldn’t get enough of it, yet he was also a bit angry.
He turned his back, firmly shielding the little girl in his embrace.
Unwilling to let anyone see the little enchantress who was so obedient and alluring at this moment.
“Don’t cry, Tangtang is the bravest. The doctor will be here soon, so don’t cry.”
Bo Shiyue patiently coaxed the little girl in his arms, afraid she might shed tears again.
Her tears were more precious than gold beans. Except in bed, he couldn’t bear to see her cry.
Xi Ning was helped by President Xi and Madam Xi to sit on the edge of the bed, leaning into Madam Xi’s arms as she cried, gasping for breath.
When she turned her head and saw this scene, she cried even more hysterically.
Bo Shiyue felt his ears buzzing with the noise. He grabbed a nearby vase and threw it over.
“Shut up!”
Couldn’t they see he was busy comforting their little girl?
Xi Ning was startled by his outburst and shrank back in fear.
Mu Wantang didn’t forget to deliberately provoke her, “Uncle, it’s because she insulted Tangtang that Tangtang’s heart hurts~”
Bo Shiyue unlocked the handcuffs and casually placed them in his coat pocket.
He held the little girl even tighter and whispered comfortingly, “Shall we wait for the doctor somewhere else?”
Mu Wantang stubbornly shook her head, “No!” She wanted to stay right there and provoke her!
Bo Shiyue covered the little girl’s ears, not wanting her to hear those harsh words again!
He glanced sideways at the family of three, “Please, get out!”
President Xi: “…I’m your biological uncle!”
“Bo Shiyue, you’re becoming more and more lawless. This is Ningning’s hospital room. Why should we—”
Before the voice faded, it met Bo Shiyue’s dangerous, bloodthirsty gaze.
Immediately silenced by fear.
He hurriedly led Xi Ning away.
Already suffering from a head injury and mild concussion from being struck earlier, now kicked by Bo Shiyue.
Xi Ning felt dizzy and disoriented, unable to walk properly.
Weeping pitifully, “Dad, why are we—” Fearing she might say something else to provoke Bo Shiyue, President Xi covered her mouth and dragged her away.
After the doctor examined Mu Wantang, she was found to be fine.
Bo Shiyue knew the young girl was deliberately acting cute.
He was pleased!
The little girl had been wronged and needed comforting.
Thus, Mu Wantang found herself holding a giant lollipop.
Her small tongue lightly licked it—sweet and delicious!
Sitting on the bench in the corridor, she happily stomped her feet.
“Thank you, uncle~”
Usually, the small cakes she ate were low-sugar and fat-free. Bo Shiyue was very strict about her diet, worried she might gain weight.
He rarely let her eat candy directly.
Especially such a large lollipop—this was her first time trying one.
Seeing the girl so happy, watching her nimble little tongue occasionally lick the giant lollipop.
Bo Shiyue leaned closer to tease her.
“Can I have a taste?”
The girl hugged the lollipop and turned away—no way!
Rejected, Bo Shiyue merely chuckled softly and reached out to ruffle her fluffy hair.
Taking advantage of the sparse crowd in the hospital garden, Bo Shiyue turned and wrapped his arms around the girl’s waist, resting his chin on her shoulder.
“Is the lollipop delicious?”
Mu Wantang nodded earnestly.
A playful glint flashed in Bo Shiyue’s eyes. “Then what about me?”
Mu Wantang froze for a moment, then couldn’t help rubbing her slightly sore cheeks.
Shyly nodding, she avoided looking directly at Bo Shiyue.
She focused on nibbling the lollipop by herself.
The girl’s reaction pleased Bo Shiyue immensely. His heart swelled with joy, though his expression remained mostly unchanged.
He stood up and walked to the end of the corridor, leaning slightly against the wall as he lit a cigarette.
This time, the girl didn’t fuss with him, happily munching on her lollipop.
He watched her intently, not daring to let her leave his sight.
When the Special Assistant arrived, this was the scene he witnessed.
Mu Wantang sitting under the corridor, nibbling on candy, while Mr. Bo watched from a distance, a barely concealed smile in the corners of his eyes and brows.
Uh…
Was he being fed dog food again?
Approaching Bo Shiyue, he said softly, “She was slapped twenty times.”
He took out his phone and played a video, having recorded it specifically in case Bo Shiyue felt the punishment was insufficient.
In the video, Xi Ning knelt in the hospital room, crying and cursing herself, “I’m a bitch, I’m a bitch, I’m a bitch.”
Bo Shiyue couldn’t be bothered to watch. He stood and walked toward Mu Wantang.
She had only managed to eat a small portion of the giant lollipop, trying hard, with candy smeared around her lips.
Bo Shiyue took a wet wipe from the Special Assistant and gently cleaned her mouth.
He also took the lollipop away. “Be good~ no more.”
Just as the girl was about to pout, he added, “Shall I take you for a big meal?”
Mu Wantang immediately nodded like a pecking chick, stretching out her arms for Bo Shiyue to carry her.
Her arms circled his neck, her body soft and delicate. As she drew near, the milky sweet fragrance of her skin wafted around them.
Bo Shiyue greedily inhaled her scent several times at the nape of her neck.
Lowering his gaze, he noticed the concealed strawberry marks beneath the girl’s turtleneck sweater and let out a soft chuckle.
He scooped her up horizontally and strode purposefully toward the parking lot.
Mu Wantang happily planted a smacking kiss on his jawline. “Tangtang likes Uncle the most~”
