Huo Chengche coldly stared at Cheng Yilan, who was forcing a smile. Although he didn't know what the father and daughter were up to, he wasn't going to risk his little one's life.
"No need." Her voice was calm and cold, still an unquestionable refusal.
Even so, Cheng Yilan seemed determined, and when she saw Huo Chengche about to leave, she quickly continued to block his way.
Meeting Huo Chengche's sharp gaze, her face paled, but she still forced herself to say, "The little princess is so adorable, I love her dearly. Seeing her unhappy, I really can't bear it. Your Highness, please allow me to try and coax her, it wouldn't hurt, would it?"
Huo Chengche frowned, and coldly and impatiently shouted, "Fu Man!"
The latter immediately bowed in response and was about to instruct the eunuch to "remove" Cheng Yilan when he suddenly heard a little boy nestled in Huo Chengche's arms say in a childish voice, "Sister is lying, you don't like Niannian at all."
The soft, sweet little voice hummed as it stated a fact.
After saying that, the little dumpling pouted angrily, looking both wronged and proud. Ke Bao was furious.
Huo Chengche patted the little bundle of joy in his arms with a smile, but compared to this little girl, there must be someone in a worse mood than her, such as... Cheng Yilan.
Huo Chengche looked at Cheng Yilan with a cold smile and saw her stiff expression.
Ha, there are always blind people who think his little dumpling is stupid.
"No, no..." Cheng Yilan was stunned by the little boy's sudden words. After regaining her senses, she quickly forced a smile and said, "What are you saying, little princess? How could I not like the little princess? Which heartless bastard is talking nonsense?"
When the little boy saw that the older sister was not lying but actually scolding her, his little mouth pouted even more.
Eager to prove that the lying little devil wasn't her, but Cheng Yilan, the little dumpling huffed, her soft voice sounding fierce, "Niannian isn't lying! Niannian isn't blind, of course she can see that sister doesn't like Niannian. It's clearly sister who's lying! Hmph!"
Cheng Yilan's face turned a deep purplish-red.
Huo Chengche glanced at it indifferently and knew that the little boy had indeed guessed correctly.
In fact, Cheng Yilan would never be so foolish as to actually show her dislike on her face.
On the contrary, although her smile was stiff, as the eldest daughter of the main wife who had attended palace banquets and gatherings with her elders since childhood, she knew very well how to smile gently and kindly.
A man like Huo Chengche, who had barely seen any female rabbits, couldn't possibly tell the difference. However, through analysis and guesswork, he managed to see through Cheng Yilan's little scheme.
In reality, Cheng Yilan didn't exactly "dislike" the little boy; she just didn't pay much attention to him and was somewhat perfunctory with him.
After all, she will be the Crown Prince's wife in the future. Among her sisters-in-law, apart from the Crown Princess, she is the most honored. No matter how noble Cha Nian's status is, she is only three years old. She has no hope of becoming the Crown Princess. Even if she marries into the royal family in the future, she will still be her younger brother's sister-in-law. Can she surpass her?
Moreover, a three-year-old baby is the easiest to coax.
Therefore, Cheng Yilan never expected to run into a wall with the little boy.
But the little dumpling doesn't care about being "perfunctory" or "not taking it seriously." He categorizes everything except "likes" as "dislikes."
The little dumpling spoke with such conviction, his little face raised, his little mouth pouting, whimpering as if he were utterly aggrieved!
That older sister is really wicked; she lied herself and then framed her!
Cheng Yilan looked at the difficult little girl, biting her lip and twisting her handkerchief, feeling like she had tried to steal a chicken but lost the rice instead—this little thing was really troublesome, how could she be so difficult to coax!
