Just as Huo Chengche had feared, the little brat's dark eyes lit up the moment he saw the snacks in the food box!

Immediately afterwards, her dimples sank in softly and shamelessly, her eyes curved, and with a twitch of her little nose, she swallowed a mouthful of saliva with a greedy look.

"Gao Gao!"

The little bundle of chubby flesh immediately lunged forward, as if it wanted to plunge headfirst into the food box.

Huo Chengche's handsome face darkened, and he scooped her up in his arms. He took a deep breath and coaxed her through gritted teeth, "Niannian, you can't eat random things. Do you want to drink bitter medicine?"

This little glutton, how can she just eat other people's food like that?

In fact, Huo Chengche was overthinking it. If Princess Linhuang really put something in the snacks, or if someone with ulterior motives wanted to drug the little one's snacks in the future, the little one's nose wouldn't be idle.

Princess Linhuang's expression immediately turned displeased when she saw Huo Chengche actually stop someone right in front of her. "Your Highness, what are you saying? Do you suspect that your aunt will harm Nian Nian?"

Since Huo Chengche dared to speak, he wasn't afraid of Princess Linhuang asking questions.

"Aunt, you misunderstand. Niannian has a sore throat and can't eat too many snacks. If I don't keep an eye on her and she eats too much, she'll definitely lose her voice and start coughing again tomorrow. Otherwise, does the palace really need a few plates of snacks from Niannian?"

The boy didn't even lift his eyelids. With a long arm, he scooped up the reluctant little boy and pulled him into his arms. Even when the sulky little rascal bit his palm, he only frowned slightly and didn't let go. His tone was indifferent.

Princess Linhuang had clearly only asked someone to investigate the little boy's preferences, but had not investigated in detail and was unaware of such a thing. She was speechless when Huo Chengche stopped her.

"Well... since Nian Nian likes it so much, I suppose eating a little less won't be a problem," Princess Linhuang said with a dry laugh.

Before Huo Chengche could object, she immediately picked up a small pastry and fed it to the little dumpling's mouth. "Nian Nian, eat a little less. How about I have someone take the rest back for you? The chefs at Aunt Linhuang's house are all top chefs from all over the country. They can make all kinds of pastries."

Can a little cutie resist temptation?

Of course not! Especially since these delicious-smelling snacks were practically being fed to her!

The little baby's nose twitched uncontrollably, and he almost couldn't swallow his saliva.

Huo Chengche watched Princess Linhuang's increasingly audacious actions, his narrow eyes narrowing, a sharp glint appearing in his eyes.

However, just as he raised his hand, Zhuangyou suddenly stepped in to stop him.

"Your Highness, please rest assured. If there is anything wrong with the pastry, our little princess can smell it. Eating only one pastry is indeed fine. As long as the princess is careful, Your Highness does not need to fall out with her for our little princess's sake."

Zhuang You whispered in Huo Chengche's ear that she knew that even if Princess Linhuang's husband was wrong, as long as the matter had nothing to do with Princess Linhuang, her position as princess would still be secure.

In the blink of an eye, the little dumpling opened his mouth and "woof!" took a bite. While Sister Zhuangyou was talking to the Crown Prince, he quickly ate the snack that Princess Linhuang had fed him. His hurried little appearance was like that of a thief.
