Chapter 244: Love Me, Love My Dog

Song Qingtian looked at Shen Conghao with a puzzled expression, clearly confused: “What are you looking at my daughter for?”

“Love me, love my dog!”

Shen Conghao turned to face Song Qingtian, who wore an unhappy look. “If this misunderstanding arose during an assignment, then I’m sorry—but that was just a mission. Don’t mix the two. My husband doesn’t like those kinds of things, and I wouldn’t want my daughter to know about them either. Do you understand?”

“Of course I do!”

Shen Conghao glanced into the Play House and said, “How adorable!”

Song Qingtian didn’t feel like talking; she was in a foul mood. Straightforwardly refusing was the only thing she could do right now. The problem was, Shen Conghao didn’t seem easy to deal with at all. He wasn’t the type to give up easily.

The two of them watched for a while, and Song Qingtian pulled over a chair to sit down and wait. It might take a minute or two for someone to go in and come out, but Song Qingtian was already prepared to wait. Shen Conghao, on the other hand, just stood outside the whole time, staring inside—as if Ling Nuonuo were his own child and he himself hadn’t even glanced back at Song Qingtian.

Song Qingtian was puzzled, not understanding what Shen Conghao was doing. But since her daughter was inside, she didn’t really have much energy to pay attention to him. She watched her daughter, and Ling Nuonuo was playing so hard she was sweating. Because she’d never played before, she got excited and started shouting. Still, there were other kids playing too—some of them liked Ling Nuonuo, especially the little boys, who would form a circle around her.

One little boy even reached out to grab Ling Nuonuo’s hand. Ling Nuonuo didn’t like it at all and quickly pulled her hand away, tucking it behind her back. She took a step back and sat down hard on a pile of small rubber balls.

The little boy was spoiled at home, too—he’d never had anyone dare defy him. When he was rejected, he immediately kicked Ling Nuonuo’s little foot.

Ling Nuonuo burst into tears right away. She wanted to find Song Qingtian, so she got up and headed toward the exit. Song Qingtian hurried after her, ready to go to her daughter’s aid.

But the little boy still wasn’t satisfied. He reached out and shoved Ling Nuonuo. Ling Nuonuo was tiny to begin with, and she immediately fell flat onto the pile of balls.

“Mommy…”

Ling Nuonuo cried even harder, and Song Qingtian called out urgently, “Nuonuo…”

When you’re anxious, you lose your composure. Seeing her daughter being bullied and crying, Song Qingtian suddenly felt dizzy. She couldn’t get in, which only made her more frantic. But the next moment, Shen Conghao yanked open the door and dashed inside.

The staff member in charge hadn’t expected an adult to climb in, and when he saw the kids all crying inside, he didn’t dare stop him. Song Qingtian had been about to go in herself, but when she saw a very stern-looking man walking over, she thought, “What’s going on?”

She wanted to stop the man, but seeing how broad and bulky he was—with a belly bigger than the doorway—she decided against it. Sure enough, the man couldn’t squeeze through and grew increasingly impatient, shouting into the room:

“Xiao Hao, don’t be afraid—Dad’s here!”

Song Qingtian’s face instantly darkened. This guy had just been there a moment ago, yet he hadn’t stopped his son from bullying others, and now he was actually backing him up!

Song Qingtian turned to look at her daughter, who was already being picked up. Ling Nuonuo was safely in Shen Conghao’s arms, and he patted her gently before planting a kiss on her forehead. At that point, Song Qingtian didn’t care about anything else—so long as her daughter was okay.

Holding Ling Nuonuo, Shen Conghao coaxed her for a long while. Ling Nuonuo wrapped her little arms around him, sniffled for a while, and then snuggled right into his embrace, refusing to come out.

With Ling Nuonuo in his arms, Shen Conghao headed toward the exit. As for that little boy, Shen Conghao simply ignored him!

Still, the little boy wasn’t one to be trifled with. He chased after Shen Conghao, ran until he caught up, grabbed hold of Shen Conghao’s pants leg, and punched him hard. Then he suddenly looked up, glaring fiercely at Shen Conghao.

Just as Ling Nuonuo had stopped crying, seeing how fierce the little boy was, she let out another wail and burst into tears again. Shen Conghao, getting angry, jerked his leg—and pushed the little boy right out.

The little boy landed hard on the pile of balls, scrambled to his feet, and tried to get closer again. But Shen Conghao turned around and gave him a single, piercing look. That look alone was enough to make the little boy cry out in fear!

Meanwhile, outside the Play House, the boy’s father was furious and started yelling at the top of his lungs!
