His long, narrow eyes narrowed slightly, and his cold, imposing aura descended with overwhelming force, causing everyone to hold their breath and no longer dare to whisper.
In an instant, the once slightly noisy entrance was now empty except for three little babies. Their sweet, childlike conversation drifted from afar, yet still easily reached everyone's ears.
In this oppressive and stagnant atmosphere, Huo Chengche's cold voice rose authoritatively, "Nian Nian will be enrolling in school soon, and I am a little worried. Since we have met today, I will give you all a few words of advice."
Hearing Huo Chengche casually utter the word "admonition," yet the murderous warning in his tone was so menacing that no one dared to ignore it, and everyone felt a chill run down their spines.
"It's quite simple. Anyone who dares to make Niannian even slightly unhappy, I'll make sure they have a very unpleasant life."
The young man's slightly hoarse voice, each word striking a chord in everyone's hearts, yet no one dared to ignore the ruthless decisiveness in that youthful voice.
Huo Chengche, who could decide life and death with a single word, was rarely seen with such sharp and decisive words. No one dared to question the truthfulness of the young man's words, and he had the confidence to say them.
For a moment, all around was deathly silent; everyone in the vast front garden trembled and remained completely still.
"Crown Prince! Crown Prince, please hurry!"
A soft, sweet, childlike voice suddenly rang out, reaching everyone's ears and stirring ripples in their hearts.
The little baby's pink and tender figure suddenly appeared in the sight of the kneeling crowd.
A pair of chubby, fair hands casually grabbed the python robe, instantly creating a bunch of wrinkles on the noble, shimmering silver-patterned robe under the sunlight.
Then, they saw that the aloof and arrogant young man squat down without any warning.
His sharply defined profile remained elegant and dignified, yet there was no trace of the cold sharpness he had displayed when he casually "admonished" her earlier. Instead, his expression was as warm and gentle as the first snow melting, and he gently pulled the little baby into his arms with the utmost tenderness.
"Okay, after you finish talking to these young ladies and their wet nurses, shall we leave?" It was the same slightly hoarse and steady young voice as before, but this time the tone was full of gentle affection, completely different from the sharp words he had spoken just now.
However, unlike the alarm felt by those who had just been warned by Huo Chengche, the little boy was quite emboldened by the fact that his elder brother, the Crown Prince, was a gentle and kind man.
"Alright then." The little dumpling pouted reluctantly, her little hands grabbing the hem of her older brother's clothes possessively, and said in a childish voice, "Hurry up, older brother! Niannian wants to go play with Changyin and Fifth Sister at the rockery outside the Empress Dowager's palace!"
The world is vast, and playing is the ultimate goal!
Huo Chengche looked at the delicate, pink-haired little dumpling, chuckled, and gently pinched her nose, then said in a tender, affectionate voice, "Okay, shall we go now?"
What more could Huo Chengche say? Could he really let these people wrong his little prince?
When he stood up and looked at everyone, the gentle warmth in his long, narrow eyes vanished instantly, replaced by an icy coldness. His gaze seemed to carry a thousand-pound blade, sending chills down everyone's spines, as if a sharp sword was hanging above their heads.
"I hope you will all remember what I said today. Please rise." After saying this, Huo Chengche withdrew his cold gaze and let the little boy tug at his clothes and pull him away.
