Philadelphia, maple-lined waterfront.
"Guoguo, be good, eat some vegetables, they're good for your health~" Xia Bingqing patiently picked up a piece of vegetable salad with a fork and held it to Guoguo's mouth.
Little Guoguo turned her head away and refused, "Baby doesn't want to, baby doesn't want to eat vegetables."
"Sweetie, your dad will be angry if he sees you haven't eaten any vegetables again." Xia Bingqing was losing her patience.
This little thing, just like her mother, is a worthless wretch! The older one died, and the younger one still expects her to smile at her every day, and she never gets any appreciation for it!
Upon hearing this, Guoguo thought for a moment and replied, "Then Aunt Xia, please help me find my mommy. As long as my mommy is there, I'll eat lots and lots of vegetables."
Xia Bingqing's long-suppressed anger finally erupted, and she slammed her fork onto the table with a bang, her eyes flashing with malice.
"You little brat, don't push your luck! You're just like your mother, a worthless slut. Do you really think you're some kind of noblewoman from the Mu family? Let me tell you, eat your food properly, or I'll make sure you're dead, just like your mother!"
Guoguo was frightened by Xia Bingqing's fierceness and stood there stunned for a long time before bursting into tears. She used all her strength to hit Xia Bingqing with her soft little hands.
"You're bad, you bad person. Mommy's not dead, Mommy's not dead! Get out of here, you bastard, you big bad guy..."
"Stop it, you little brat!" Xia Bingqing grabbed Guoguo's hand fiercely and cursed, "Listen up, your slutty mother died a long time ago, and she didn't even have a proper corpse when she died..."
"Shut up!" A cold, stern rebuke rang out from behind.
Xia Bingqing was stunned. Taking advantage of the moment, Guoguo broke free from her grasp, ran and jumped into Mu Nanxun's arms, her face streaked with tears of grievance.
"Daddy, bad woman, bad woman said baby's mommy is dead, waaaaah... She's bad, baby's mommy isn't dead, right?"
Mu Nanxun glared at Xia Bingqing with his icy eyes. If looks could kill, Xia Bingqing would be riddled with holes and pierced by a thousand arrows.
Xia Bingqing felt a chill run down her spine from his glare, and she could barely stand, shivering uncontrollably.
She was so angry just now that she spoke without thinking, and she didn't know how much of what Mu Nanxun heard. Although what she said about Yi Yi's death was true, in Mu Nanxun's heart, Yi Yi had never left. She had a feeling that if he really heard what she had just said, then all her efforts over the past three years would have been in vain.
In an instant, Mu Nanxun's gaze softened when he saw Guoguo's face streaked with tears. He patted her little head and gently comforted her, "Guoguo, your mother is not dead. Daddy will find her, Daddy promises."
"Really? Really?"
Hearing him say that, Xiao Guoguo stopped crying, blinked, and looked at Mu Nanxun uncertainly.
Dad wouldn't lie to her. If Dad said Mom wasn't dead, then she definitely wasn't dead. If Dad said he would find Mom, then he definitely would.
“Of course it’s true,” Mu Nanxun replied confidently. “As long as you behave well, Mom will definitely come back to us.”
"Mmm," Xiao Guoguo nodded repeatedly, "Baby will be good and eat vegetables every day, waiting for Mommy to come back."
After playing around for a while, Guoguo snuggled up in Mu Nanxun's arms and fell asleep.
Xia Bingqing hesitated, unsure whether she should defend herself in any way.
