Xuandi met the little boy's bright, round eyes and shrugged helplessly. "Go ask your Crown Prince brother. He's the mastermind behind all this trouble today. We're just accomplices, so we'll just go along with it."
As he spoke, he winked slyly at the little boy and whispered, "Go ahead and cause as much trouble as you want! Anyway, this time it won't be on our side, so don't hold back!"
The little boy's watery eyes immediately lit up, dimples appeared, and he blinked his bright eyes, nodding vigorously, "Mmm!"
Huo Chengche glanced at Xuan Di and coldly reminded him, "Fifth Young Master, I'm not deaf."
Xuandi pretended to scratch his ear, then casually looked at the sky and said leisurely, "Oh dear, now that you mention it, Your Highness, I suddenly realize that I seem to be a little deaf."
Looking at Xuan Di's nonchalant demeanor, Huo Chengche realized that he really did seem to be just there to cause trouble.
"Crown Prince Brother!" The little dumpling saw her two brothers exchanging glances and forgetting about her presence. Suddenly, she felt her whole body glow. She puffed out her cheeks angrily and fiercely asserted her presence, "Crown Prince Brother, aren't we going to follow them?"
Huo Chengche quickly looked at the little dumpling, squatted down and hugged his unhappy wife, giving Xuan Di a cold sidelong glance—the guy who was delaying him from spending time with his little dumpling! Look, this is what made the little dumpling unhappy!
Xuan Di looked at Huo Chengche's eyes and was speechless, almost laughing. "No, what kind of look is that? Instead of comforting Niannian first, you're arguing with me. Is that my fault?"
The little boy, seeing the two exchanging glances in this short time, pouted even more, his round eyes glistening with tears as he glared angrily at his two big bad brothers.
Upon seeing this, Huo Chengche immediately lost interest in Xuandi's rambling.
He quickly and gently took the soft little baby into his arms, stroked her little face, and soothed her softly.
"Good girl, Niannian. It's all because your fifth brother kept diverting my attention, so I didn't have time to reply to you. I couldn't resist this time, but I won't let him succeed next time. I'll definitely prioritize Niannian!"
Xuan Di was so angry that his liver ached when he heard Huo Chengche's words of false accusation.
"What do you mean..."
"Fifth Brother is so mean! He's bullying Niannian again! He won't even let Crown Prince Brother speak to Niannian. Niannian is going to tell Father!"
Xuan Di had barely uttered his rebuttal through gritted teeth when the little dumpling immediately glared at him with fierce eyes, her muffled little voice sounding utterly aggrieved.
However, when Xuandi saw the little boy's angry look, he felt a lump in his throat and almost fainted.
In all his life, he's always been the one tricking others. But now, with just a few words from Huo Chengche, he's dumped a huge pot on his head, leaving a gap for him to crawl into!
Xuandi had never been tricked like this before, nor had he ever felt so aggrieved.
Looking at his silly little sister's aggrieved little face, his head was buzzing. He took a deep breath and silently recited three sentences in his mind, "I won't argue with a three-year-old silly girl!"
Then, he forced a smile through gritted teeth and said in a forcedly friendly tone, "Don't be angry anymore, Fifth Brother won't disturb you talking to 'Young Master' anymore. Fifth Brother will go ahead and see that fierce uncle."
When Xuandi said the words "Crown Prince," the force with which he ground his teeth was as if he wanted to chew someone's flesh and blood to pieces.
As for that "someone," he was smiling quite smugly.
