Furrowing his brows, Nan Chen asked, “How is this scaring them? I'm just asking them a question. It's no reason for them to be scared.”
Ning Ran looked at Erbao. “Are you sure? Look at Erbao. She doesn't even dare to show her face now.”
Hearing that, Erbao played along. “That's right! I'm so scared that I don't even dare to speak. I'm really scared!”
Nan Chen was rendered speechless. Isn't it enough that you're an actress already? And now you want to turn your child into a drama queen?
“Come out here and talk properly! If you do, I won't give you a hard time,” Nan Chen uttered.
Only then did Erbao poke out her head fearfully from behind Dabao and glance at Nan Chen.
Then again, anyone who saw the pitiful look on her face would not have the heart to punish her, even if she did make an unforgivable mistake.
“Okay. I'm going to ask you one more time. Who had answered my phone?”
To their surprise, both Dabao and Erbao raised their hands and answered in unison, “Me!”
Ning Ran was pleased by their response. Such united siblings. They're willing to take responsibility for what they've done. As expected of my children.
“So both of you are taking responsibility? Okay, then. Both of you shall be punished,” Nan Chen said furiously.
Hearing that, the children lowered their heads, remaining silent.
“Don't frighten them!” Ning Ran interjected, her protective instincts rising in her heart.
“But they're lying. How could both of them have answered the phone? How can children tell lies? Are you condoning their actions? Do you think this is the right way of educating them?” Nan Chen questioned while glaring at the woman.
“Okay. Wait here.” Ning Ran got to her feet and walked to the other room before reappearing with a feather duster.
“How dare you two lie! I'm going to beat both of you up!” she yelled, charging toward the children furiously. However, the children did not run away. Instead, they looked at Nan Chen with pleading looks.
Of course, Nan Chen would not let Ning Ran hit them. Hence, he quickly pulled the children into his embrace and shouted, “Don't frighten them!”
As soon as those words left his mouth, he froze. Wasn't this Ning Ran's line earlier? How did our roles get switched? Now I'm the one protecting the children while she's the one scaring them. Did she set me up?
