The little boy asked again, "Does Niannian have to dress like them to play with them? Like today, if I dress like this, won't they play with me?"
“Of course not,” Huo Chengche’s dark eyes deepened, a cold glint flashing in them.
However, when explaining to the little baby in her arms, her voice remained gentle and clear, "True friends won't care what clothes you wear. Niannian did the right thing today. By not telling them your identity, you can see whether they are truly friends with you."
The little boy nestled in Huo Chengche's arms and nodded as if he understood.
Huo Chengche looked at the silly little baby in his arms and smiled faintly. When he looked up, he could already see Old Madam Qin's courtyard.
"In a little while, Niannian will call Grandma together with her Crown Prince brother," Huo Chengche subtly diverted the little boy's attention.
The little boy nodded obediently, then looked up and asked, "What's Changyin's name? Isn't her maternal grandmother the Empress Dowager?"
The young man smiled faintly, "She's not going. Neither she nor Wenlian are going. Only Niannian will go in with me."
The little boy tilted his head in confusion, "Why?"
The smile on Huo Chengche's thin lips deepened. "Because... she's been wanting to see you for a long time."
"Why? But Niannian has never seen her before, so why would she want to see Niannian?" The little boy was even more puzzled.
Huo Chengche's smile deepened.
Even Zhuangyou couldn't understand that smile.
Soon, Huo Chengche carried the little baby into the old lady's room.
The guests had all been sent away, and only an old woman was serving Old Mrs. Qin.
"Che'er's here? Come quickly, come quickly! Your grandma has prepared your favorite fruit. Oh, and a few sets of clothes, all everyday clothes. Come and see if they fit. Your uncle said you've grown taller?"
As Huo Chengche entered the room carrying the little baby, a kind and smiling voice came from the inner room.
The little girl's ears twitched. Listening to that kind voice, she had already pictured a kind-faced old lady in her mind.
Sure enough, as she turned the screen, she saw a kind old woman sitting on a low kang (a heated brick bed), her eyes narrowed in a loving smile, gazing longingly at them, waiting for them to appear.
"Grandmother, how are you?" The young man turned around the screen and saw the kind old lady. He smiled gently, his voice clear and melodious, with a rare hint of obedience.
"Good, good, good!" Grandma Qin was finally able to see her beloved grandson, whom she had been longing to see. Just as she was about to take a good look at him, she was surprised to find that he was holding a tiny, adorable little dumpling in his arms!
This adorable little bundle, with its pair of bright, dark eyes sparkling with curiosity, blinking as it gazes at her, its delicate nose and pink lips, complemented by two chubby dimples at the corners of its mouth, makes it incredibly cute, like a little fairy.
When the little boy heard his older brother, the Crown Prince, call out to someone, he immediately followed suit in his childish voice, "Hello, Grandmother!"
"Oh, oh ...!" Who wouldn't love such a cute and adorable little baby?
Grandma Qin immediately beamed with joy and clapped her hands, "Oh my, whose little baby is this? She looks so blessed! Come here, let this old woman hold her!"
Huo Chengche rarely agreed to give away the little baby. After listening to Grandma Qin's words, he actually put her in the old lady's arms as instructed. "Grandma, please be careful. Niannian looks small, but she's so chubby."
The little boy immediately pouted and emphasized, "Niannian won't get fat!"
As she spoke, the little dumpling whimpered, turned her little bottom towards her naughty prince brother, then her little body went limp, and she snuggled into Grandma Qin's arms, giggling softly as she clung to her.
