"Sister Hua Xiao, you should go back with Niannian. Don't be sad. Niannian will take you to play together from now on!" The little boy with dimples said to Hua Xiao in a childish voice.
However, Hua Xiao was already stunned and stood there in fright.
She looked at the refined young man before her, aloof and noble, with deep, unfathomable eyes that seemed to look down on all living beings with indifference.
"You, you... Your Highness, the Crown Prince?!"
The little boy's words, "Crown Prince Brother," echoed in Hua Xiao's ears again and again, making her face turn pale with fright. She knelt down with a thud and stammered, "This servant...this servant didn't know it was His Highness the Crown Prince. Just...just now, what this servant said..."
“It’s alright,” the young man said calmly, interrupting the girl’s incoherent words. “Although Princess Linhuang is my aunt, she has done such a beastly thing, which is truly despicable. I would not stoop to associating with such scum.”
Hua Xiao's whole body was heaving violently. Her already thin body became even more noticeable as she trembled, making her appear even more frail and weak.
The little girl could sense the despair and fear that had just flashed through Hua Xiao's mind. She quickly ran over, hugged the older girl's thin, trembling body, and comforted her in her childish voice:
"Sister Hua Xiao, what's wrong? Don't be afraid. Crown Prince isn't a bad person. He's a good guy! He's very capable. Whenever bad guys bully Niannian, as soon as Crown Prince arrives, the bad guys are scared to death! Sister Hua Xiao isn't a bad person, so there's no need to be afraid of him!"
The little dumpling spoke in a sweet, arrogant tone, with his hands on his hips and his chin held high—he looked so smug!
Still shaken, Xiao Huaxiao couldn't help but burst out laughing when she saw the little boy's adorable and silly appearance. She quickly stopped laughing and cautiously glanced at the adult's expression.
Huo Chengche looked at the little dumpling's silly and silly appearance, smiled faintly, sighed, raised his hand and rubbed her fluffy little head, his eyes full of doting affection.
Seeing the boy's sudden gentleness, so different from his previous aura that was as majestic and awe-inspiring as a god, Hua Xiao was taken aback.
Turning her head again, she met the gentle and beautiful Zhuang You, whose delicate eyebrows were arched. When she saw her looking over, she gave her a gentle smile, as soft and tender as a spring breeze.
"Don't be afraid. Now that you're by our little princess's side, you can forget all those rules and regulations of the capital. From now on, all you need to do is be happy every day and grow up with our little princess."
Zhuangyou smiled and gently tidied her messy hair as she spoke softly, "As for those things that make you unhappy, we'll help you take care of them."
Zhuangyou's gentleness and friendliness made Huaxiao feel flattered and overwhelmed. Her eyes were like those of a startled deer. She was at a loss at first, and then she carefully accepted this kindness, treating it as a treasure. She became more and more flustered, clearly not knowing how to repay it.
The little boy held Hua Xiao's hand, sensing her unease, and turned to look at his brother, the Crown Prince.
Huo Chengche looked at Xiaohua Xiao's flattered expression and said calmly, "You don't need to be like this. Those people deserved their fate, and you shouldn't have suffered this hardship."
Seeing that the little girl seemed a bit confused by what she heard, Zhuangyou smiled and said, "We're just helping you find what's rightfully yours. Just accept it without hesitation. If you're truly grateful, then quickly cheer yourself up and play happily with the little princess."
"Little...little princess?" Hua Xiao asked tentatively.
