The Empress Dowager felt that her eldest grandson still had hope! She thought Niannian had a bright future!
The Empress Dowager suddenly asked with a smile, "Che'er, I heard that you've been putting Xiao Niannian to sleep these past two nights?"
Huo Chengche raised his head and met the Empress Dowager's exceptionally kind smile. His heart stirred, but he replied calmly, "Yes, I heard that Niannian is not used to sleeping alone at night, and that Xuandi sometimes disappears in the middle of the night, so I went and brought Niannian here."
Pooh!
Zhuangyou and Xuandi listened to the boy's serious words, their faces dark with anger as they stared at him, inwardly spitting out their anger.
They didn't carry it over; they clearly stole it in the middle of the night!
However, the Empress Dowager didn't care how it happened. As soon as she heard this, she was overjoyed and quickly made the decision: "Since that's the case, then from now on you can sleep with Niannian. In this way, your father and I will be at ease, and I'm sure the Prince of Hengchang will be even more at ease, right?"
Don't worry?
They wouldn't feel at ease if Huo Chengche slept with Niannian in his arms!
Upon hearing this, Zhuangyou's eyes widened in anger, and she quickly gave Xuandi a meaningful look.
Xuandi immediately put down his chopsticks; how could he possibly eat anymore?
"How could this be—"
"Grandmother, what should we do? Although Niannian is still young, there is a difference between boys and girls..."
Xuan Di and Huo Chengche spoke almost simultaneously, but Huo Chengche was clearly prepared. He suddenly raised his voice, completely drowning out Xuan Di's words, and even pretended to frown, looking unwilling.
To gain the trust of his grandmother, Huo Chengche's unwilling demeanor was so convincing that he even recalled how he and Xuandi, two grown men, had slept face-to-face in the same bed the previous night.
For a moment, his resistance was so strong that it was impossible to stop him!
However, Huo Chengche forgot that he was still holding a young wife in his arms.
She was still a young wife who could only understand what was being said, but not completely.
When the little dumpling heard that her Crown Prince brother was unwilling, she immediately lost her appetite for the fish soup and egg in her mouth. She pouted, her dark eyes puffed out, and she looked at him with a hurt expression. She said in a cute but fierce tone, "Crown Prince brother doesn't want to sleep with Nian Nian because he wants to cuddle with Fifth Brother!"
A soft, sweet little voice, yet with a fierce, almost childlike questioning.
Xuan Di: ??? When did I ever let him cuddle me while I slept?!
His handsome face darkened, and when he looked up, he met the Empress Dowager's glare, which was so angry she could hardly breathe. He immediately felt a headache coming on and quickly glanced at the little boy, sternly saying, "Little baby, don't talk nonsense!"
What is all this?! Which side is this little rascal on?! This is really hard to explain!
However, Huo Chengche couldn't laugh at this moment.
He might want to use his looks to deceive everyone, but he would never want to deceive his own wife!
The handsome young man, who had been so confident just moments before, froze. He looked down at the little boy's pouty face and immediately realized something was wrong. Had he managed to fool this silly baby after all that fuss?
It's better not to lie at all!
Huo Chengche quickly explained, "Niannian is talking nonsense. Crown Prince Brother never refuses to hold Niannian to sleep! Crown Prince Brother loves to hold Niannian to sleep the most! He doesn't like to cuddle with your Fifth Brother at all!"
The little dumpling pouted, looked into her older brother's sincere eyes, whimpered pitifully, turned her head away angrily, and snuggled into his arm, looking like she was saying, "I'm angry! I need to be coaxed!"
