"Ha," Xuan Di couldn't help but chuckle gloatingly at Huo Chengche's face, which froze instantly. His eyebrows danced and playfully twitched at him.
Hey, what's wrong? You were going to spoil her, weren't you? You get all grumpy over me putting a tattered shirt on her! Well, now it's your turn to shine, so hurry up and say something nice?
Huo Chengche's handsome face stiffened, the childish "egg" kept buzzing in his mind.
Although he's long since lost all sense of boundaries with his little one, even with all those boundaries, he still finds it hard to say "it sounds nice" with a smile and without feeling guilty...
However, when he saw the adorable, innocent smile of the little baby in his arms, the "no" that was on the tip of his tongue immediately got stuck in his throat.
For a moment, he was caught in a dilemma, unable to suppress his laughter yet unwilling to stop.
Xuan Di was delighted to see Huo Chengche suffer a setback, his face full of schadenfreude. If he weren't worried about "getting into trouble," he would have laughed three hundred times.
Huo Chengche's face darkened as he looked at Xuan Di's smug, detached expression, and he was truly furious!
It's one thing that he's not worried about his sister's behavior, but he even has the nerve to laugh now?
Huo Chengche lowered his head and said to the little boy, "Your Highness doesn't know much about this, but I see that your Fifth Brother is quite knowledgeable about naming things. Why don't we ask him for his opinion?"
Then, Huo Chengche didn't hold back and spun around halfway, turning the little baby who was originally facing away from Xuandi so that he was right in front of him.
Xuan Di: ...
Isn't it a bit shameless to so skillfully shift the blame?
Huo Chengche met Xuan Di's sinister gaze and gave a cool smile.
The little boy, as expected, stared intently at Xuandi.
Xuandi wiggled his back teeth, his smile stiff, "It sounds good, it sounds good..."
The little dumpling, satisfied with the answer, happily snuggled back into his older brother's arms, continuing to boast about his little white egg in his sweet, childish voice:
"Brother Crown Prince, that cage was so scary! If Bai Dandan hadn't suddenly jumped out of my arms and knocked the cage open, Niannian would definitely have been locked inside! And later, Niannian tried to save Bai Dandan, but she couldn't open the cage no matter what she did!"
The little baby pouted, looking unhappy and still a bit scared. He sniffled, his nose and eyes red and swollen, looking quite pitiful.
Huo Chengche narrowed his eyes, gently patted the little baby's back with heartache, and gave a hoarse "Mmm," his deep voice saying, "Luckily, Niannian is holding it. From now on, your Crown Prince brother promises you that you can keep it in Xiaochen Palace, okay?"
Then he added, "Keep her by Niannian's side."
Upon hearing that she could keep the white egg with her all the time, the little dumpling immediately kicked her short legs happily and burst into laughter through her tears, "Great! Prince Brother is so great! Niannian loves Prince Brother the most!"
Huo Chengche gently curved his thin lips, pulled the little girl to his shoulder, and patted her back soothingly. When his gaze fell on the empty alley entrance, his eyes flashed with murderous intent.
While Huo Chengche was coaxing the little baby, Xuandi quickly moved closer to the cage, pretending to help his sister release the tiger cub. In reality, he used his body as cover, spread his hands into a bowl shape, and tentatively approached the wooden wedges that locked the cage.
As he focused his attention and peered in, his gaze suddenly flashed.
The next moment, he heard Huo Chengche turn around with the little baby in his arms, and immediately he flicked his fingers to gather his strength, and the palm wind quickly swept across the entire cage.
