"Okay, mom."
Qiao Ning seemed to see the flames of anger burning behind Qiao Nuan. He nodded obediently, then quickly ran to the front desk of the hotel.
The lady at the front desk carried Qiao Ning up and placed him on a chair. Beside Qiao Ning was a little boy with curly hair.
The little boy was wearing a mask, and he was curiously sizing up Qiao Ning. Qiao Ning also stared at the little boy for a long time before she suddenly realized, "You're the little brother in the car next to us!"
Gu An nodded and was a little happy. "You recognize me? I'm still wearing a mask."
"Of course, I recognize you. We look the same." Qiao Ning proudly shook his head. "Little brother, why are you wearing a mask? Are you sick?"
"Two days ago, I was taken away by a bad guy. The doctor said that I caught a cold because I was scared." Gu An coughed twice and looked a little depressed. "I'm not a coward. Why would I catch a cold because I was scared?"
"That's normal. I heard that some people were scared to death..." Qiao Ning patted Gu An's arm to comfort him.
However, Gu An didn't seem comforted. Instead, he became even more depressed.
The two children were enjoying themselves while Qiao Nuan's side was not as friendly.
Seeing Qiao Nuan chase Qiao Ning away, Su He was obviously thrilled.
"Nuan Nuan, that burden won't disturb our date this time." Su He had no idea that he had already pissed Qiao Nuan off. He was still talking non-stop, "You shouldn't be bound by the child. How can you have your own life if you're always with the child? Speaking of your child, why don't you..."
Qiao Nuan wanted to see how shameless Su He could be, but she couldn't stop now. "Why don't I what about my child?"
Su He realized that Qiao Nuan was staring at him without any tenderness. There was only coldness and suppressed anger in her eyes. He couldn't help but cower.
"Nuan Nuan, I don't want you to send the child away. I just wanted to convince you to treat yourself better..."
"Thank you for your advice. I will consider my own feelings a little more." Qiao Nuan sneered at Su He and moved her right wrist. "For example, right now, I want to clean up the trash that makes me feel disgusted!"
Then, without waiting for Su He's reaction, Qiao Nuan used all her strength and hit his chin with an uppercut. Su He only felt his feet leave the ground. Before he could react to what had happened, his back hit the neatly arranged bouquet of roses. A sharp pain came from his back and chin at the same time.
"Ahh..."
Su He curled up on the ground. His back had been pierced by rose thorns, revealing little traces of blood. Tears flowed uncontrollably all over his face. His specially-groomed hair was also messed up, making him look particularly disheveled.
The people around him were in an uproar. Some took out their phones to take photos or videos, while others hurriedly called for an ambulance.
In the chaotic scene, Qiao Nuan bent down and grabbed Su He's collar, slightly pulling his upper body up. She stared at his tearful face and threatened him coldly.
"I advise you to cancel the engagement quickly. If you marry me, your miserable state today will be your treatment after marriage! Also, if I hear you call my son a burden again, I'll beat you up every time I see you!"
At the hotel's front desk, Gu An and Qiao Ning stood on the chairs, leaning against the table and poking their heads out. Their mouths were wide open as they watched Qiao Nuan send a grown man flying with one punch.
After a long time, Gu An asked Qiao Ning in a trembling voice, "Qiao Ning, is that really your mother?"
Qiao Ning's face was pale. He nodded and answered, "Yes, this is my mother. She can use violence to suppress all those who oppose her!"
"You... you haven't been beaten before, have you?" Gu An asked carefully.
Qiao Ning gave Gu An a sorrowful look. "Please don't bring up such depressing matters."
Gu An was a very kind child. He immediately felt a little embarrassed and quickly comforted his little friend. "This is very normal. I've also been spanked by my father. Adults always like to vent their anger on children."
"That's right. Adults are too much." Qiao Ning suddenly felt that he had found a soulmate, "Sometimes, even if I admit my mistakes, my mother will still hit me. But I know that my mother loves me. When she hits me, she never really uses force..."
"Little rascal, you still experienced getting beaten up, right?" Qiao Nuan, who had walked over out of nowhere, reached out to rub Qiao Ning's head and looked at Gu An with a smile, "Little boy, thank you for playing with my naughty monkey."
"Ma'am, Qiao Ning, and I are already good friends."Gu An was in a small suit and was very gentlemanly. He even bowed to Qiao Nuan. "Two days ago, you saved me, but I still haven't gone to thank you personally. How rude of me."
So this was the child who had been taken away by the bad guys two days ago. Although he was wearing a mask, his eyes and brows were indeed very similar to Qiao Ning's. No wonder she had mistaken him for Qiao Ning that day.
Qiao Nuan waved her hand in embarrassment. "Actually, I mistook you for Qiao Ning that day, so you don't have to thank me."
