"Niannian is such a good girl." The triumphant boy grinned like a wolf, looking at the adorable little girl in his arms, feeling no guilt whatsoever for deceiving a child.
Huo Chengche held the little baby and gently patted her to sleep, his smile deep and his soft melody soothing. He soon lulled the little baby to sleep.
The sleeping baby opened and closed its little mouth, a pink and tender little bundle, soft and fluffy in his arms, and the boy smiled again.
Sure enough, he knew he had to raise his little wife from a young age. He could patiently wait for her to grow up, but some "good habits" had to be cultivated from childhood, such as sleeping in his arms.
The boy, at this age, looked at the little bundle of milk without any other thoughts, and soon fell asleep hugging the soft little bundle.
When I woke up, as expected, there was a huge commotion outside.
Huo Chengche shifted his body and looked down to see the little baby in his arms sleeping soundly with his belly turned up.
Waking up early in the morning and seeing this adorable little creature, Huo Chengche hadn't felt this good feeling upon waking up in a long time.
He was reluctant to get up, but the commotion outside was so intense that if he didn't get up by the time Emperor Chongjin arrived, his plan to abduct the little boy would be ruined.
Huo Chengche sighed helplessly, raised his hand and gently stroked the little baby's tender face. After listening to her soft, babyish whimpering, he reluctantly lifted her warm, soft little body, gently pulled his arm out, and placed a pillow under her.
He got up to wash up, but he didn't call anyone. No one outside heard the noise and came into the room, just like last night. A dim candle burned in his room for half the night, and the little boy talked to him for so long, but he still didn't disturb the servants.
When Huo Chengche left, Emperor Chongjin had just received the news and hurriedly went to Qinghua Tower.
Meanwhile, Qinghua Tower was in complete chaos—the little princess was missing?!
"What happened? What do you mean Niannian is missing! Where could she have gone so early in the morning? Did some bastard kidnap her in the middle of the night?" Emperor Chongjin's expression was stern and displeased as he glanced at Dejiang. "Has Xuandi sent anyone to check?"
Before Dejiang could speak, Huo Chengche stepped forward and said, "Father, Niannian is with me."
Emperor Chongjin was taken aback. He turned around and looked at Huo Chengche walking towards him, frowning as he asked, "How did Niannian end up with you? When did you take her there? Why didn't you say anything?"
Huo Chengche shrugged and said indifferently, "Your subject used a piece of candy to trick Niannian yesterday."
They tricked me with sugar...
Zhuangyou and Jiang Nainiang, who were sweating profusely from their anxiety, were speechless. They looked at each other and saw deep exasperation in each other's eyes.
Emperor Chongjin also raised his hand and pressed his temple, feeling relieved but also a little annoyed.
However, before Emperor Chongjin could speak, Huo Chengche said, "It was my presumption. I just thought Niannian was cute and wanted to tease her, but I didn't expect that Niannian had fallen asleep and no one came to look for her. The palace lanterns in Xiaochen Palace were lit for most of the night."
Huo Chengche made up a story without batting an eye. Did he really expect someone to come looking for him? As soon as he got his hands on the little baby, he couldn't wait to turn off the lights.
Emperor Chongjin naturally wouldn't doubt his usually aloof son's words, but he knew very well that Huo Chengche's behavior of using candy to deceive Niannian was not just a simple act of fooling around.
