"Ah..." Little Nuomi was about to scream but remembered her earlier promise and immediately used her small hands to cover her mouth tightly.
Her watery eyes widened in fear; she was truly frightened.
"Scared?"
Mu Jingxi smiled and tapped her brow with his finger, "Who wanted to listen just now, hmm?"
Little Nuomi whimpered and twisted her body, wanting to leap into Qiao An's arms. Just as she turned halfway, Jingxi pulled her back.
"Daddy is bad!"
"Do you still want to hear it?" Mu Jingxi teased the little one in his arms, with a grin.
Little Nuomi covered her ears, "No, no, Little Nuomi doesn't want to listen anymore."
Mu Jingxi lowered his head and kissed her forehead gently, "Then be a good girl and sleep."
The fear of snakes and mice made Little Nuomi exceptionally obedient; as soon as she heard the word "sleep," she immediately closed her eyes.
Soon, she fell soundly asleep.
