Hua Xiao's eyes flashed, and she quickly said, "No! We can't, we can't let anyone else know!"
"Huh?" The little boy frowned, looking at Hua Xiao with a puzzled expression, tilting his head in confusion, "Why?"
Hua Xiao bit her lip, thought for a moment, and said firmly, "Because I don't want others to know about this. Niannian, this is a little secret between the two of us, okay? And I promise they will find out soon, Niannian doesn't need to deliberately hide it from them."
"Little secrets!" The little cutie loves having little secrets with others, just like she has little secrets with her Prince Brother, Sister Zhuangyou, and Fifth Brother!
"Alright then!" The little dumpling, with his dimples, nodded his head seriously, then whispered in Hua Xiao's ear in his sweet, childish voice, "Don't worry, Sister Hua Xiao, Niannian will protect our little secret! I'll definitely not let anyone else know, hehe!"
Hua Xiao naturally hugged the little baby who had come closer. The soft little body in her arms made her pause for a moment, her eyes flashing with hesitation and complexity.
However, she quickly suppressed these emotions. As if remembering something, excitement welled up in her eyes again, and she couldn't wait to go. She smiled and said, "Okay, let's go quickly!"
The little girl sensed Hua Xiao's complex emotions for a fleeting moment, but it vanished in an instant, quickly replaced by her own excitement and anticipation. So, she didn't dwell on it and obediently let Hua Xiao help her put on her coat and shoes before carrying her outside.
"Is the wet nurse asleep?" The little baby nestled in Sister Hua Xiao's arms, looking at the wet nurse who was sitting on the edge of the bed with her head propped up and breathing steadily, and said curiously.
She had never seen her wet nurse sleeping before. Usually, her wet nurse and Sister Zhuangyou would coax her to sleep. When she woke up, her wet nurse and Sister Zhuangyou would always be awake and watching over her.
When Hua Xiao heard the little boy suddenly mention the wet nurse, she felt a pang of guilt and hurriedly responded, then quickly explained to the little boy as if to cover up her mistake, "The wet nurse has been busy all day and must be tired."
The little boy curiously pulled his head off Hua Xiao's shoulder, tilted his head to look at her slightly flustered profile, and blinked at her.
The more Hua Xiao was stared at by the perceptive little baby, the more guilty she felt. Her heart was pounding. The little girl, who was already struggling to hold the baby, was panting heavily because of her guilt, and her palms and back were covered in cold sweat.
"Is Sister Hua Xiao going to get caught?" the little boy asked in a childish voice after nudging her for a while.
"Huh? Wh-what?" Hua Xiao was caught off guard by the little boy's question and asked nervously.
The little dumpling looked at Hua Xiao's appearance and explained in a soft, sweet voice, "Because every time Fifth Brother secretly takes Niannian out of the manor to play, and Daddy catches him red-handed when they come back, he always looks like this."
Hearing the little boy's words, Hua Xiao suddenly relaxed the breath she had been holding in her throat, and gave a stiff smile, "Is that so? Because I don't want my secret to be known by others, so I feel the same way as your fifth brother, who is afraid of being caught by your father."
As she spoke, Hua Xiao quickened her pace.
Sure enough, the silly little dumpling thought for a moment, then nodded her little head in deep agreement, "Yes! Sister Hua Xiao, you're right!"
Hua Xiao smiled awkwardly, said nothing more, and quickly quickened her pace.
As she stepped out the door, she faintly heard Zhuang You's anxious, soft voice from the side door, "Zhan Yu! Where are you? It's me. Are you hurt? Come out quickly, let me bandage you up!"
