Huo Chengche immediately understood Zhuang You's meaning—she was after the little boy again.
"What's so special about Niannian? Why are all these people so interested in her? And who brought all these strange medicinal scents here?" Huo Chengche frowned and pressed for an answer.
The young man exuded an aura of immense power, so much so that even Zhuang You couldn't help but feel intimidated.
However, even when the boy was showing his full strength, there was one little cutie who wasn't afraid of him.
Just as the boy was gaining momentum, before he could even force Zhuangyou to reveal the truth, the little boy, who was looking up at the adults talking, pouted unhappily and complained in a childish voice, "Crown Prince! You're not playing games with Niannian seriously!"
That soft, sweet, childlike voice was like a needle pricking Huo Chengche's aura, instantly deflating him.
The boy had lost all his bravado. He looked down and met the little boy's round, puffed-up eyes. He smiled helplessly and quickly said, "Okay, Crown Prince will take you to play hide-and-seek now."
The little dumpling pouted, gave a haughty hum, and made a demand with a righteous air, "Fifth Brother is not allowed to find it!"
"Alright," the boy sighed helplessly, his gaze deep. He glanced at Zhuangyou indifferently before turning around and continuing to walk towards the artificial hill ahead.
A gentle breeze blew through the gaps in the artificial hill, and Zhuangyou suddenly felt a chill. She snapped back to reality and realized that cold sweat had appeared on her back and palms without her noticing.
This young prince, though young, exudes an imposing aura, especially that last look in his eyes…
Suddenly, she was tapped on the shoulder by a folding fan.
...
Having already walked a distance, Huo Chengche, carrying the little baby, found a hollow artificial hill and crawled inside.
He looked at the hollow ceiling above, where a cylindrical column, like a crossbeam, had been designed to support a person sitting on it.
After all, it's hide-and-seek. Although Huo Chengche and Xuan Di are just playing with the little one, they still have to be serious. Otherwise, the clever little devil will definitely fum and say that they are fooling her.
If we make this delicate little baby cry, it would be counterproductive.
Huo Chengche leaped up, only to find that Zhuang You didn't seem to have followed.
The boy frowned slightly.
The little baby in my arms is having a carefree time playing. She nestled in her brother's arms, her bright black eyes peeking out through the gaps in the artificial hill. She immediately tugged at his sleeve and hid in his arms.
Huo Chengche's expression hardened as he noticed the little boy's sudden clinginess.
The next moment, the little baby in her arms said excitedly in a childish voice, "Crown Prince! Look, Fifth Brother is over there! He's come looking for us!"
Huo Chengche's solemn expression gradually gave way to helplessness. Taking advantage of the fact that the little boy had buried his head in his chest and couldn't see him, he secretly pinched the bridge of his nose, his brows furrowed with helplessness, and his gaze shifted to Xuan Di outside the gap.
Immediately afterwards, Xuandi on the other side of the gap seemed to sense something and looked at him.
Huo Chengche raised an eyebrow; this guy was really perceptive.
But since he'd already looked over, he decided to subtly suggest that he come back later!
Xuandi understood his lip movements and rolled his eyes at him speechlessly.
The little girl is unaware that her two older brothers are genuinely "accompanying" (coaxing) her while playing games, and she is thoroughly enjoying it.
