Be Careful, Scum Dad! Mommy Is Back!
Chapter 429: Dad Hits Me and My Brother

Chapter 429: Chapter 429: Dad Hits Me and My Brother

"Your brother wants to see you..."

Ji Muye heard the child softly mumbling and felt his heart tighten.

Little Dumpling’s eyes were red, her face still streaked with the marks left by her golden tears, and she looked at him pitifully.

The sternness in his gaze instinctively softened. He gently wiped his daughter’s tears with his fingertip and spoke calmly, "Nuonuo, even if you want to see daddy, you mustn’t do something so dangerous. You and your two brothers are very important to me."

Lu Nuonuo tilted her little head and stared into his eyes. Mommy said that eyes are little windows and can reveal if someone is speaking the truth.

She could tell that her daddy genuinely cared about her safety.

Even though she was young, she could feel the care and understand that her daddy wasn’t being harsh on purpose. After thinking deeply for a while, she looked up again.

Lu Nuonuo sniffled and said in a muffled voice, "Then... then can I apologize to you too?"

Ji Muye, no matter how angry he was, felt most of his anger dissipate at the sight of her teary face.

"This was the first time, so Daddy will forgive you."

He emphasized, "But promise me—don’t ever let it happen again, understand?"

Little Dumpling obediently nodded her head.

Although the climate in C Country was warm, the wind at night was still cooler than during the daytime.

He took off his suit jacket, draped it over his daughter’s shoulders, carefully fastened the buttons, and placed her on the nearby bench.

When he turned and called Ji Chao and Ji Ze’s names, his tone returned to its earlier strictness.

"The two of you, come here!"

The twins exchanged a glance. Daddy hadn’t spared even their little sister, Little Dumpling, so they knew there was no avoiding a spanking tonight.

"Brother, I’ll go first. I’m more experienced with this sort of thing."

Watching his younger brother’s smug face, as if "practice makes perfect," Ji Chao pursed his lips. Was this something to be proud of?

He began to worry that his brother might be duped into buying dubious health supplements when he grew up.

Ji Ze walked over to Ji Muye, expertly lying across his father’s lap. Taking a deep breath, he said, "Daddy, I’m ready. You can spank me now!"

"..."

Ji Muye looked at his younger son’s expression that resembled someone heroically facing execution. His lips twitched.

Smack, smack! Smack, smack!

Ji Muye’s spanking of his two sons was notably harder than when he had disciplined his daughter.

Lu Nuonuo listened to the sound of her brothers being spanked and scrunched up her little face entirely. She wanted to reach up to cover her eyes but realized her daddy’s suit jackets had wrapped her tightly, making it impossible to lift her arms.

She felt the spanking her daddy gave her brothers seemed harsher than hers. It sounded so painful!

Lu Xining had already arrived nearby but did not intervene while Ji Muye disciplined the three siblings.

Earlier, the bodyguards following the three children had reported the situation to her immediately. In fact, when the three kids were chasing the car, the bodyguards had rushed to stop them and were ready to prevent them at any moment.

When Ji Muye stepped out of the car, he had already seen the bodyguards trailing the siblings. However, the children’s actions were indeed dangerous.

Discipline was necessary.

"Brother, does your butt hurt?" Ji Ze shuffled over to Ji Chao’s side, seizing the moment while their daddy was carrying their sister to ask in a whisper.

Ji Chao thought his brother was expressing concern and was about to say "It’s fine," when he heard the following lines.

Ji Ze rubbed his own butt and pouted, "I feel like Daddy’s spanking was way harder on me than on you."

Ji Chao: "..." That’s the price of experience!

Little Dumpling nestled in Ji Muye’s arms as he pulled the strap of her pink toy car stroller and started walking back.

Ji Chao and Ji Ze each pulled along a toy car as well and obediently followed behind.

Ma Sai started his car and drove slowly behind the group of one adult and three children, heading toward the manor gates. Earlier, he had clearly seen how lightly his boss spanked his daughter compared to his sons.

"Brother, it’s so far from here to the manor! Can we really not drive our toy cars back?"

"If you’re prepared for another spanking, I won’t stop you."

Ji Ze touched his nose and looked at his dad carrying their little sister up ahead. Based on his many years of experience causing trouble, it was best not to poke the tiger right now; otherwise, he’d get spanked again.

"Then I guess I’ll walk back."

Lu Nuonuo snuggled in her daddy’s arms, wearing his tailored suit jacket that looked like an opera costume on her tiny frame.

She hugged Ji Muye’s neck, rested her chin on his shoulder, and looked all wilted and listless.

Her eyes followed her two brothers walking behind them, feeling a pang of guilt. Boo-hoo, it was all her fault they got the "spanking package deal."

They had only gone a few steps when, turning the corner, they saw Lu Xining standing under a tree, the wind lifting her hair.

Ji Ze immediately shouted, "Mom!"

Little Dumpling sharply turned her head toward the direction of Lu Xining, her eyes suddenly reddening. Her tightly pursed lips opened as she burst into tears.

"Boo-hoo, mommy, daddy spanked me and my brothers on our butts!"

What child doesn’t express their grievances when they see their mom? Lu Nuonuo didn’t even realize she had inadvertently blurted out "daddy," nor did she notice the surge of emotions her daddy experienced upon hearing her say those words.

Ji Muye suddenly stopped in his tracks, lowering his gaze to look at the Little Dumpling in his arms, wondering if he had just imagined it.

Hearing this, Lu Xining also halted in her steps.

She could clearly see the emotions flickering in Ji Muye’s eyes: disbelief mixed with joy, creating an indescribable feeling.

Holding the child close, Ji Muye’s voice was hoarse as he said, "Nuonuo, what did you just call me?"

Call you? She hadn’t called him anything.

She had been busy complaining to mommy. Why was her daddy acting so strangely?

Lu Nuonuo stretched her hand toward Lu Xining, wanting to tell her that daddy hit her brothers harder than usual.

But as she extended her little paw, her daddy pulled it back.

She stretched again, and he pulled back again.

Lu Nuonuo: "!!!" So angry!

"What are you doing?" She turned her head, puffing her cheeks angrily at her daddy.

Ji Muye’s gaze at that moment was as gentle as water, shimmering under the night sky with a star-like glow. Carefully, he said, "Nuonuo, can you repeat what you said just now?"

"What are you doing?"

"Not that sentence."

"Mommy, daddy spanked me and my brothers on our butts!"

"Yes, that’s it."

Ji Muye joyfully hugged Lu Nuonuo, unable to resist kissing her cheek. "Nuonuo, you finally called me daddy!"

Confusion clouded Little Dumpling’s eyes until suddenly she realized what had just happened.

Oh no! She fell for it!

She hummed indignantly, placing her hands on her hips. "That doesn’t count! The main point is you spanked me and my brothers!"

"Alright, alright, daddy admits it. I did spank you."

"Huh?" Why admit it so quickly?

Lu Nuonuo’s confused and bewildered gaze seemed to demand an explanation.

Like perhaps...

That she and her brothers had done something wrong to deserve the spanking?
