Crown Prince Mo's heart squeezed, and he hastily walked over to pick up that little one from the stone stool and place her into his arms. "What's wrong?"

Crown Prince Mo immediately panicked, and he quickly hugged her while inquiring gently, "Qiaoqiao, what's wrong? Who bullied our Qiaoqiao? Quickly tell me! I'll help you beat him up!"
"You guys." Qiao Mu pulled her lips into a thin line as she did her utmost to hold back the moistness in her eyes.
