"Okay!" The little boy was overjoyed.
The more joyfully the little boy laughed, the darker Xuandi's face became.
Huo Chengche smiled and put down the soft, sleeping baby girl in his arms. "Alright, Niannian, go find your brother."
“Okay,” the little dumpling looked at the gentle and good-tempered Crown Prince, but instead of turning around to find his fifth brother, he jumped into Huo Chengche’s arms, wrapped his arms around his neck, stood on tiptoe, and gave him a big kiss.
"Your Highness is so nice, Niannian likes Your Highness!" The little dumpling's pink and tender mouth was sweet.
After a moment of surprise, the boy's eyes filled with affection as he smiled and gently pinched the little boy's nose. "Your Highness also likes Niannian. Niannian, you must grow up quickly!"
"What's the point of growing up so fast?" Xuan Di, hearing Huo Chengche's words, exuded a chilling aura, forcing out each word through gritted teeth, "Does the Crown Prince think I'm just some air here?!"
The little boy nestled in Huo Chengche's arms, turned his head to look at his strange fifth brother, and tilted his head in confusion, "Shouldn't Fifth Brother thank the Crown Prince for ignoring you? Otherwise, if he told Father that you ran here by yourself, Fifth Brother's bottom would be in big trouble."
Xuan Di: ...
Huo Chengche looked at Xuan Di, whose sinister expression froze instantly on his face. His handsome face was now completely black, which was rather comical.
He gently curved his thin lips into a smile, appreciatively ruffled the little baby's head in his arms, and looked at Xuan Di with a half-smile, "Fifth Young Master Wei, now, do you still want this little sister?"
Xuandi glared fiercely at the little fool, gritting his teeth, "I don't want it anymore! You can have it!"
Upon hearing this, the little boy's innocent and bewildered face immediately filled with grievance, his dark eyes welling up with tears. He turned and threw himself into Huo Chengche's arms, sobbing, "Fifth Brother, don't remember me anymore! Fifth Brother is so mean, I'm going to tell Daddy!"
Zhuangyou listened with heartache to the little boy's innocent, tearful voice, her delicate brows furrowing slightly. She kindly reminded Xuandi, "Before leaving, the prince told the little princess how to quickly establish a one-way connection with him."
So, when the little one says he'll tell his dad, he means it.
Xuan Di snorted coldly, stubbornly refusing to go up and coax the person. Upon hearing this, he froze, his handsome face turning from cold to dark, and then, quite shamelessly, a hint of regret surfaced.
Zhuangyou added coolly, "Moreover, to prevent anyone around him from being bribed, the prince spoke to the little princess in secret."
Therefore, they did not know the specifics of how the contact was made, and the little princess was able to make the contact herself without needing their help.
Therefore, it's not something that Xuandi can prevent by simply intimidating the person next to the little boy.
At that one sentence, Xuan Di couldn't hold back any longer. He quickly stepped forward with an embarrassed smile and gently coaxed the aggrieved little boy, "What Fifth Brother was just talking nonsense. How could Fifth Brother bear to abandon such a cute little Niannian!"
He spoke softly and gently, showing tenderness and affection. Anyone who didn't know better would have thought he was a good-natured older brother, but he didn't show any of the fierce look he had just had.
Not only did he not smile, but he also smiled ingratiatingly. Zhuangyou felt ashamed for him and turned her face away, unable to bear watching.
Huo Chengche looked at Xuan Di with a sneer, cradling the little boy in his arms, and said coolly, "Fifth Young Master, the expression on your face is so forced. I wonder which sentence you found hard to say against your will?"
Xuan Di's handsome face darkened. He looked up and glared fiercely at Huo Chengche, who was blatantly lying, and mouthed a threat through gritted teeth: "Do you still want my sister? Believe me or not, I'll take her back tomorrow!"
