Huo Chengche scoffed, "With such a commotion, do you think no one will come to watch? I'm afraid their master would be eager to recall everyone in the mansion right now, and would he send more people over?"

Upon hearing this, Xuan Di immediately understood why Huo Chengche had made such a fuss. His eyes flashed with a dark light, and he adopted a nonchalant, detached attitude, as if watching a show.

The little baby lay on her older brother's shoulder, looking confused. She tilted her head left and right, but because Huo Chengche was holding her down, she couldn't turn her head around. So her head could only turn so much, and that's how much she could see.

The little dumpling puffed out his cheeks angrily, tilted his head back fiercely, and said, "You naughty prince! Niannian wants to see too!"

Without a word, Huo Chengche raised his hand and pressed the little baby's head back onto his shoulder, saying casually, "Hmm, I'll show it to Niannian in a bit!" I'll clean this yard until it's completely bare, then I'll show it to you.

The little girl whimpered and wiggled her little bottom and kicked her short legs, clearly unwilling. However, Huo Chengche's strength was not weak. Normally, even a big man couldn't control the little girl, but now, no matter how much she struggled, the boy held her firmly in his arms.

Xuandi also noticed the commotion. Looking at the little baby who was struggling to move, he was slightly taken aback, his eyes filled with surprise.

"Fifth Brother!" the little boy called out in a accusing, childish voice, but when he tilted his head, he found that his fifth brother was actually lost in thought!

Immediately, the little boy said angrily, "Fifth Brother only has eyes for Crown Prince, he doesn't even care about Niannian! Fifth Brother only looks at Crown Prince, he doesn't care about Niannian anymore! Niannian is going to tell Daddy!"

This little jealous baby even wants to eat her own fifth brother's vinegar.

Xuandi: ...?

The more I listen to this, the more something seems off!

Xuan Di choked, listening to his silly little girl's ramblings, and suddenly seemed to realize something, his handsome face turning dark.

However, those two words, "telling a complaint," spoken in a childish voice, were enough to make Xuan Di furious but unable to speak out. He could only suppress his anger and forced a smile, gritting his teeth, "What nonsense are you talking about, Niannian? Fifth Brother only has eyes for Niannian. How could there be any other messy, dirty things?"

Huo Chengche glanced at Xuandi coldly as he listened to Xuandi's veiled insults.

The latter snorted and then said to the little boy, "Is the Crown Prince uncomfortable being held? Come here, Niannian, let Fifth Brother hold Niannian. The Crown Prince has things to do anyway, so let's not keep him up!"

As he spoke, Xuandi reached out his hand to the little boy.

The silly little dumpling didn't catch the hidden meaning in his fifth brother's words, but thinking that he could watch the show later, the little dumpling immediately wagged his little tail and happily tried to climb onto Huo Chengche's shoulder and snuggle into Xuandi's arms.

However, Huo Chengche turned to the side, reached out and pulled the little baby who was about to run away back into his arms, and then looked at Xuan Di with a cool expression, saying, "What I have to do is stand here. Fifth Young Master, I'll trouble you to be my guard for a while."

Upon hearing this, Xuan Di chuckled and scoffed, "Your Highness, although I am not as noble as you, I..."

“Aren’t the masterminds supposed to be standing in the courtyard giving orders? Accomplices are just errand boys. Does Fifth Young Master want to be the mastermind? If so, I don’t mind. I’ll give it to you.”
