Chapter 102: Nuonuo Wants to Protect Mommy

“Get in the car!”

The cold tone startled Song Qingtian.

She turned around and looked at Qin Xiaotian—what had she done?

Qin Xiaotian was agitated, recalling how, earlier, Song Qingtian had joked about needing a golden toilet and warm spring breezes just to feel like going to the bathroom.

So what was this now?

Had she lost her parents’ protection and become as humble as mud?

“I said get in the car.”

Qin Xiaotian glanced at the people around them, and they quickly lowered their heads.

Song Qingtian had originally wanted to use the restroom, but Qin Xiaotian’s scolding had made her forget all about it.

Back in the car, Song Qingtian worried that the Mysterious Big Shot might snap her neck.

It was better to just obey.

Amidst countless shocked stares, Qin Xiaotian got in the car and drove off.

Song Qingtian sat in the back, even more cautious and careful.

Until Qin Xiaotian brought her to a private residence—quite a luxurious one, at that.

As they got out of the car, Qin Xiaotian shot Song Qingtian a displeased look with his dark eyes. “Go ahead.”

Song Qingtian was surprised: “Huh?”

“You’re not going to the bathroom?”

Song Qingtian seemed to be talking to a complete idiot—driving for dozens of kilometers just to use the restroom here?

Truly, every kind of idiot has their own peculiar ways.

To save her life, Song Qingtian went to the restroom.

When she came out, she saw Qin Xiaotian sitting on the sofa, lying back with his eyes closed, resting.

“Um…”

Song Qingtian stood to one side, carefully avoiding disturbing him.

Qin Xiaotian opened his eyes—their dark pupils were filled with endless coldness.

Song Qingtian couldn’t help but try to defend herself again.

“My daughter is at home; she might wake up. If she can’t see me, she’ll be scared. Lately, kids at school have been bullying her, so I want to get back early—before dawn would be best.”

“Is this some new trick?”

Qin Xiaotian sounded impatient.

He was rather tired!

“Think whatever you want, but the fact is I saved your life—you can’t repay kindness with enmity. That’s unbecoming of a big shot!”

Qin Xiaotian stared at Song Qingtian with heavy, dark eyes: “I’m tired and need some rest.”

“I’ll drive.”

Qin Xiaotian stood up, and Song Qingtian immediately grabbed the keys and followed him.

Once in the car, Qin Xiaotian sat in the back and told her, “Don’t go too fast!”

“I’m not speeding!”

Song Qingtian had worked as a designated driver before—this was no problem for her.

She’d set the navigation; since she’d fallen asleep on the way here, she needed to know the road conditions and sections to take to get back to City A.

After confirming everything, Song Qingtian smoothly drove off.

Before 4:30, she left the city and entered the highway.

That way, she wouldn’t run into the morning rush-hour traffic.

Once on the highway, everything flowed smoothly.

Her speed stayed around 140 miles per hour.

Qin Xiaotian squinted for a bit, then drifted off to sleep.

He slept straight through until late at night.

But the Imperial Night Hotel was under renovation.

When the car stopped, people were passing by outside, making a lot of noise, and Qin Xiaotian finally woke up.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Song Qingtian quickly getting out of the car.

Qin Xiaotian rolled down the window and looked out at Song Qingtian.

“I’m heading back first.”

With that, Song Qingtian ran off.

She hailed a taxi and disappeared.

Qin Xiaotian glanced around and felt refreshed.

He raised his wrist to check the time.

He’d actually slept for three hours without waking up?

Qin Xiaotian turned to watch Song Qingtian leave—had he really slept so deeply?

Song Qingtian returned to the villa, utterly exhausted and with a headache.

Yet she still rushed back.

Aunt Chen saw Song Qingtian and said, “Miss hasn’t woken up yet.”

“Thank you, Aunt Chen.”

Song Qingtian hurried to the Bedroom.

As soon as she walked in, she saw her daughter still sleeping and breathed a sigh of relief.

Song Qingtian quietly took a shower, then slipped under the covers.

She hugged her daughter and kissed her.

Ling Nuonuo opened her beautiful big eyes and wrapped her arms around Song Qingtian: “Mommy, I knew you’d come back!”

Song Qingtian’s heart sank as she looked at her adorable little daughter, who looked like a tiny steamed bun.

Turns out she’d been pretending to sleep.

Song Qingtian felt mixed emotions as she hugged her daughter’s soft little body and gently patted her: “Last night, Mommy went out to settle accounts with someone. She even encouraged others to bully Nuonuo. Mommy was so angry that I ran off.”

“Wow, Mommy’s so brave!”

Ling Nuonuo quickly sat up, her beautiful big eyes sparkling with admiration and excitement.

Song Qingtian attributed all this to being fully awake now!

“But now that I think about it, I was too impulsive. There were so many people, and it was so dark—Mommy almost got caught. I was really too reckless. I won’t do it again!”

“I won’t!”

Ling Nuonuo agreed wholeheartedly, hugging Song Qingtian and patting her.

“Mommy won’t!”

“Mm-hmm!”

Song Qingtian soon fell asleep, and Ling Nuonuo watched her.

Mommy was so tired—she had to protect Mommy!
