If he could, Huo Chengche would absolutely want to kick Xuandi out right now!
How did this guy survive until now? It's a miracle he hasn't been beaten to death by the Prince of Hengchang after all this time!
Huo Chengche's face turned as black as ink. He took a deep breath and barely managed to suppress the urge to beat up Xuan Di.
Out of sight, out of mind, he simply turned around, picked up the little baby, and walked outside. He gently coaxed the baby again, but the poor little baby was upset, aggrieved, and scared again because of Xuandi's words. The baby cried miserably, hiccuping and gasping for breath.
Huo Chengche frowned with heartache, his desire to beat that bastard Xuandi to death growing stronger.
But now, that bastard is getting off easy. He doesn't have time right now; he's patiently and firmly telling the little one again and again that her daddy would never abandon her.
Inside the house, Xuandi was dumbfounded.
Wasn't this trick quite effective before?
Every time this little rascal opens her mouth to wail, he threatens her and then casually offers some benefits, such as taking her to her mother's house to steal two small snacks that the adults usually forbid her to eat.
This little girl will definitely behave herself; after pouting and whining a few increasingly demanding requests, she'll stop crying.
Why isn't it working today?
Emperor Chongjin coldly looked at the bewildered, scratching-headed boy in front of him and sneered. His own son called him a stupid older brother, and he was right. His own sister had grown up so much, and he still couldn't tell the difference between real and fake crying.
Looking again at the yard, at the gentle figure of my son soothing the little crybaby Qingrun, a sense of pride welled up inside me: Look, my son is such a good older brother!
The thought that this kid had actually intimidated him made Emperor Chongjin's face darken. He glanced at Xuandi and sneered, "What did the Fifth Young Master just say? Tell Nian Nian to cry. What happened?"
"..." Xuan Di choked, his handsome face stiffened, and he wondered to himself, could this be a case of lifting a rock only to drop it on his own foot?
However, Xuandi was always thick-skinned, so he pretended nothing had happened and ignored Emperor Chongjin's sarcastic remarks.
Seeing Xuandi's discomfiture and recalling his earlier intimidation, Emperor Chongjin felt a surge of smug satisfaction. He chuckled and proudly pointed to his son's figure, continuing:
"Fifth Young Master, look! This is what a proper older brother should do. You should learn from him. Don't be like those brothers who make their younger sister cry and all they do is scare everyone else to tears. What good is that? Hmm?"
Xuan Di was already furious that Huo Chengche had so blatantly snatched his sister from his arms, and now, hearing Emperor Chongjin's words, he was even angrier.
However, he had already withdrawn his previous momentum and was now just an angry young man, gritting his teeth. Upon hearing this, he only gave a cold "heh" and looked at Emperor Chongjin with sarcasm, coldly chewing on the word "brother," his coldness unspoken.
When Emperor Chongjin heard Xuandi sarcastically mutter the word "brother," his eyelids twitched, and he couldn't help but think that his son might have feelings for that little girl.
No matter what, when it comes to kidnapping someone's precious little girl, the kidnapper always feels inexplicably frustrated.
Especially since her own son has his eye on that three-year-old baby, it seems a bit unethical to say it out loud.
