"Cough, cough!" Xia Ningxing put away the brick-size phone and was twisting her little hands. After meeting her mother's gaze, she couldn't help but bite her lip and timidly explained, "Mom, actually, I'm not only strong but also skilled in martial arts."
"I'm sorry I didn't come out right away, scaring you all."
Originally, she wanted to come out after seeing Xia Jiehao's true colors, but just then, her mother had poured her heart out, so she thought to wait a little longer. She wasn't worried about her stepfather or mother getting hurt, as she knew restraint.
However, Ningxing wasn't allowed to speak these words, otherwise, the previous sequence would seem too scheming, and this part would embarrass her mother.
