Upon hearing this, Huo Chengche's face darkened even more. He quickly picked up the little boy, held him tightly in his arms like a treasure, gently bounced him around, and comforted him tenderly, "Fifth brother bullied Niannian again? Crown Prince brother will scold him for you!"
Xuan Di looked at the little dumpling who immediately started badmouthing him, his face darkening with anger. He reached out and poked her on the forehead, "You little ingrate! Why don't you mention how you extorted me? That seafood feast at Chun Chang Lou was so expensive, ugh!"
Before Xuandi could finish speaking, Huo Chengche whipped his hand back as he reached out to poke the little boy. Luckily, he pulled back quickly, or he would have been left with a red welt!
"Huo Chengche! You hit me?" Xuan Di looked up at Huo Chengche in disbelief, but when he looked up, he met Huo Chengche's dark face, which was like that of the King of Hell. His cold and icy eyes seemed to be about to tear him apart.
This guy...
When Xuandi met that gaze, he felt a little intimidated.
"What are you looking at! This is my sister!" Xuan Di said, but he still withdrew his hand. For some reason, he felt inexplicably scared when he met Huo Chengche's gaze.
Huo Chengche looked at Xuan Di and gave a cold, sinister smile; it would have been better if he hadn't smiled at all.
The little dumpling glanced at her fierce-looking older brother, the Crown Prince, then at her obviously weak fifth brother, and happily wagged her invisible little tail, laughing like a little fox.
She nestled in her elder brother's arms, happily watching her fifth brother get scolded—Hmph! If her fifth brother bullies her again, she'll think she's a little fool. Does he think she can't understand and doesn't know that her naughty fifth brother is deliberately playing tricks on her?! Hmph!
Seeing his little sister's happy and cheerful appearance, Xuandi would have thought that her crown prince brother was helping her teach a lesson to the bad guys!
Xuan Di was so angry that his teeth ached. He glanced at the ungrateful little brat, then met Huo Chengche's piercing gaze, which felt as heavy as a thousand pounds. He snorted coldly and said, "Don't act like I've done something heinous. Which little sister wasn't played with as she grew up?"
Xuan Di spoke with conviction, though his eyes darted around. This wasn't out of fear of Huo Chengche, but rather because there was only one person who could make Xuan Di tremble—
"Fifth Young Master, do you dare to tell your father what you said?" Huo Chengche gently patted the back of the little baby in his arms. The gentler the gesture, the sharper his gaze was as he stared at Xuan Di.
Xuandi certainly wouldn't dare say this to the Prince of Hengchang; he wasn't ready to die yet. But he dared to say it to Huo Chengche!
"I didn't bully her. This is how I raise my younger sister. If you don't like it, go hug your own sister! What kind of nonsense is it to try and take my sister away from me!"
Hearing Xuan Di's words, Huo Chengche's handsome face darkened, and his arm around the little baby tightened slightly—as expected, he had to cherish his own little wife himself! Brothers were completely unreliable! He needed to get his little wife as soon as possible, as soon as possible!
He took a deep breath, turned around, and carried the little baby towards the market, where there happened to be an inn.
Seeing that he was about to leave with his sister in his arms, Xuandi quickly stepped forward and grabbed him, "What do you think you're doing!"
"Change your clothes."
Huo Chengche sidestepped Xuandi's outstretched hand, then struck him hard on the wrist with his palm, causing him to pull his hand back in pain.
Last night he noticed that the back of the little boy's neck was slightly red. That spot must have been chafed by the rough and stiff fabric of the clothes!
Therefore, early this morning, he sent Fuman directly to Consort Chen to retrieve the little Taoist robe that the baby had changed out of at her place yesterday, and burned it.
But to my surprise, Xuandi made an exact replica of it today!
