After her ex-husband became a Hong Kong entertainment circle tycoon, he put his arm around her waist

Nan Shu brought Enen back to the Qi family home. It was almost noon, and neither Qi Yuye nor Lin Xi were home.

This relieved her.

Qi Yuye has just returned to China and inherited the Qi family business, and he is very busy every day.

If it weren't for this, Nan Shu wouldn't have agreed to let Qi Yuye move into the Qi family home.

After a quick lunch and settling Enen in, Nan Shu threw herself back into her work.

As dusk settled, Nan Shu, who had been working hard all day, rubbed her shoulders and was about to take a break when she turned around and found the door to her room slightly ajar.

A pair of large eyes darted around through the crack in the door, reflecting a gleam in the lamplight.

Nan Shu was startled, but then she realized what was happening.

A slight smile played on her lips as she strode to the door, pulled it open, and knelt down to look affectionately at the little figure standing in the doorway.

"Nuomi? What brings you here?"

Looking at the adorable glutinous rice in front of her, Nan Shu always felt a sense of warmth and affection.

Nuomi tilted her head back, blinking her big eyes.

"My mom and dad aren't home, and I'm so bored. Can I come play with you?"

Nuomi's gaze passed over Nan Shu, her eyes revealing longing.

Nan Shu smiled and nodded.

"Of course!"

Nan Shu turned aside to let Nuomi into the room.

Nuomi laboriously pulled the small box behind her inside, then quickly walked to Enen.

"Okay, I brought my toys, shall we play together?"

Because of my illness, I haven't had much contact with other children lately.

Now that a pretty older sister was finally willing to play with him, he was naturally very happy. He immediately nodded and quickly climbed off the bed.

Laughter filled the room, and seeing the children like this, Nan Shu felt all her weariness vanish.

Seeing Nan Shu standing to the side, Nuomi ran over, hugged Nan Shu's leg, and said in a coquettish tone.

"Sister, come play with us!"

"Nuomi, you're about the same age as Enen, so just call me Auntie."

Nan Shu reached out and touched Nuomi's head, then reached out as if to take Nuomi's hand.

Nuomi was also very proactive, directly extending her hand to hold Nan Shu's finger.

Nan Shu's gaze inadvertently swept over Nuomi's arm, and she was immediately stunned.

Nuomi had quite a few bruises on her arms, which had faded but were still visible.

She immediately squatted down with concern to check the condition of Nuomi's arms, only to find that there were similar marks not only on her arms, but also on her calves.

It's common for children to bump and bruise themselves while playing outside, but it's rare to see so many bruises.

She stared into Nuomi's eyes and asked with a serious expression.

"Nuomi, can you tell Auntie how you got those wounds?"

Upon hearing Nan Shu's words, Nuomi shrank back and withdrew her hand, looking as if she was unwilling to speak.

Seeing Nuomi's state, Nan Shu realized something was wrong and continued to press for answers.

"Nuomi, don't be scared. Tell Auntie what happened?"

Perhaps it was because Nan Shu's concern was too obvious, or perhaps it was because Nan Shu made Nuomi feel close to her, but under Nan Shu's repeated questioning, Nuomi suddenly started to sob softly.

"They're kindergarten kids. They won't play with me and they bully me..."

"What?"

Nan Shu was taken aback, but seeing Nuomi crying, she couldn't help but feel sorry for her.

She reached out to wipe away Nuomi's tears, but was afraid of hurting such a delicate child, so she didn't dare to use too much force.

"Didn't your mother see these injuries on your body? Did you tell your mother about them?"

"And what about your father? Doesn't he know either?"

Nuomi shook her head and cried even harder.

"I talked to my mom about it, but she said that since the other kids don't want to play with me, there must be something wrong with me, and she told me to look for the reason within myself..."

"Mom said Dad is very busy and she doesn't want him to be distracted by my affairs..."

Hearing Nuomi's words, Nan Shu felt extremely heartbroken.

Why is such a young child so sensible, at an age when he should be well cared for?

Moreover, as Nuomi's mother, Lin Xi didn't protect Nuomi when her own child was bullied; instead, she blamed Nuomi.

This is not something a mother would do.

Nan Shu frowned. Seeing Nuomi's sad expression, she quickly comforted her in a low voice.

With Nan Shu's comforting words, Nuomi's crying finally subsided.

Just then, the door was pushed open with great force.

Lin Xi heard Nuomi crying as soon as she got home. Without thinking twice, she followed the sound and came over, only to find that Nuomi was with Nan Shu.

Looking at the glutinous rice that Nan Shu was holding in her arms, Lin Qi felt a surge of anger.

"Nan Shu, what happened? Why is Nuomi crying? Did you do something to her?"

As she spoke, Lin Xi grabbed Nuomi and pulled her to her side.

Nan Shu stood up and looked at Lin Xi, whose face was full of anger. She gripped Nuomi's arm tightly, seemingly not caring whether Nuomi was in pain or not.

"You know Nuomi is being bullied, why don't you help her?"

As a mother, Nan Shu couldn't help but ask the question that had been bothering her.

Lin Xi froze, looked at the doubt in Nan Shu's eyes, and snorted coldly.

"Nan Shu, I'm warning you, Nuomi is my daughter, and what I do is none of your business!"

"Your past with Qi Yuye has already made me very uncomfortable. Now that you're living in our house, you should be aware that you're living under someone else's roof."

Seeing that Lin Xi had finally revealed her true feelings, Nan Shu no longer wanted to be polite with Lin Xi and said coldly.

"Do you think I wanted to live here? Instead of wasting your time criticizing me, you should advise Qi Yuye to let me leave sooner!"

"Also, I'm talking to you about glutinous rice now, so you don't need to change the subject."

As soon as Nan Shu finished speaking, Wang Ma's deliberately amplified voice suddenly came from the direction of the living room.

"Sir is back? He's home so early today?"

Qi Yuye glanced at Wang Ma with a puzzled look in his eyes, but still nodded.

My gaze swept across the living room, but I didn't see Nan Shu anywhere.

Nuomi usually plays in the living room for a while, but she's not here today.

"Where's the glutinous rice?"

"Nuomi...Nuomi is playing in Miss Nan's room."

Wang Ma hesitated for a moment, but under Qi Yuye's gaze, she finally spoke.

As the footsteps drew closer, Lin Xi looked at Nan Shu, who was standing right in front of her, and then glanced down at Nuomi beside her.

If Nan Shu brings up the matter of Nuomi being bullied in front of him, Qi Yuye will definitely ask for clarification, and then it will be difficult to explain.

Before Qi Yuye could walk over, Lin Xi's expression suddenly changed.

She stepped forward and took Nan Shu's hand.

"Nan Shu, that's not what I meant. I just came to see if you needed anything."

"Please don't take your anger out on Nuomi because of what happened between me and Qi Yuye, okay?"

"What are you doing?"

Seeing Lin Xi so close and holding her hand, Nan Shu felt a little resistant. She frowned slightly and subconsciously tried to shake off Lin Xi's hand.

"Don't grab me."

With a slight exertion, Lin Qi in front of Nan Shu suddenly cried out and fell to the ground.
