Huo Chengche snapped out of his daze, followed her little hand, and couldn't help but frown. "Niannian, that's the area under the stage, where the actors rest. The children there are all school children who have to work, they don't have time to play with you."
The little boy tilted his head curiously, pricked up his little ears and listened carefully, then said, "No, they were clearly playing hide-and-seek! I heard it all, one of the older boys said, 'My dad will definitely find me.'"
Huo Chengche listened to the little girl's words, his eyes flashed, and his deep eyes narrowed almost imperceptibly. He looked down and asked her, "Did Niannian hear anything else?"
“Yes,” the little boy immediately told Huo Chengche everything he had just heard.
"Brother Crown Prince, can Niannian go play with them now?" the little boy asked, looking up.
Huo Chengche's dark eyes were deep as he said to the little boy, "Niannian, can you wait a little longer? Your Crown Prince brother will take you to play with them. After you're done playing, I'll send someone to take them home so that their families can rest easy."
The little boy pouted, "It's okay, Prince Brother will come find us in a bit. Besides, with Sister Zhuangyou with Nian Nian, Prince Brother doesn't need to worry about Nian Nian getting lost."
The little boy's words reminded Huo Chengche that Zhuang You was also with them.
So, looking at the bored little girl, he could only smile helplessly, "Alright, then go play. If anyone tries to bully or even hurt you, remember to call Pang Tuantuan. Although Pang Tuantuan is cute and lovable, bad guys are most afraid of it."
"Okay!" the little boy happily agreed, then skipped and hopped towards the backstage area.
Zhuangyou immediately followed, and as she passed Huo Chengche, she glanced at the slight worry in the boy's eyes, and stopped as if possessed. She whispered in his ear, "Your Highness need not worry. Besides this servant, our Fifth Young Master has also returned and will protect our little princess."
After saying that, Zhuangyou immediately caught up with the little girl, following her at a distance that was neither too close nor too far, so as not to disturb her from exploring new places on her own, nor to prevent her from going forward to save people.
After hearing Zhuang You's words, Huo Chengche's last bit of worry disappeared. Xuan Di was quite reliable when it came to protecting his younger sister. Besides, this little bundle of joy was no ordinary child.
The boy smiled faintly, thinking to himself that he wondered which group of unlucky human traffickers would run into this little devil.
Meanwhile, a little dumpling, who was about to strike fear into the hearts of human traffickers, was happily toddling around backstage with its short legs, making a "clattering" sound.
From afar, the round little figure looked adorable and pink, with a pair of butterfly bell pendants swaying with her two little buns. Paired with her bright, clear, dark eyes, she looked curiously left and right, just like a little fairy who had mistakenly wandered into the mortal world.
This exquisitely crafted little bun immediately attracted a greedy and delighted gaze.
The next moment, the little boy seemed to sense something and turned around, meeting that gaze precisely.
The man clearly hadn't expected the little girl to be so perceptive. After a moment of surprise, he straightened his clothes, smiled kindly, nodded at her, and asked, "Little girl, whose daughter are you? Are you here with an adult to watch the play?"
The little boy nodded, looking at the uncle with a strange expression. Although the uncle had a kind smile on his face, the little boy wasn't buying it. He took a small step back and asked in a childish voice, "Uncle, who are you?"
