"Okay..." Qin Zhouli glanced timidly at the aloof young man, and the words that were about to come out immediately turned into a weak agreement.
The little dumpling clung to Huo Chengche's neck, rubbing her soft little face against his neck affectionately, her sweet, soft voice saying, "Crown Prince, can Niannian bring Pang Tuantuan along? Pang Tuantuan won't bite anyone!"
"Awoo..." Upon hearing this, Zhan Yu immediately chimed in softly, his head bowed pitifully, his sly little eyes looking completely innocent.
Every time Huo Chengche saw this fat tiger, he could see the shadow of Xuandi in it.
The boy narrowed his icy eyes, emanating a chilling aura that immediately startled Zhan Yu, who let out a soft whimper and quickly bent down to dig into the sand.
"Crown Prince Brother~" When the little boy saw that Huo Chengche disagreed, he immediately clung to him in his chubby little way, whimpering even more sweetly, like a cheeky little koala.
Could Huo Chengche resist his little one's sweet pleading and whining?
"Fine, I agree." Completely without principle.
"Yay! Crown Prince is the best! Niannian loves Crown Prince the most!" The little dumpling happily gave the boy a kiss on the cheek and snuggled against him affectionately.
Huo Chengche looked at the little dumpling who was acting cute so skillfully. It was clear that she had figured out his temper. As long as it wasn't a huge deal, everything was easy to talk to. Even if it was a huge deal, it was still negotiable.
The boy sighed and gently patted the little dumpling's chubby bottom. "You little rascal, are you even being so perfunctory with your sweet talk now? You used to come up with all sorts of different phrases, but now it's just the same old thing over and over again? Just now, this little rascal who got what he wanted even said that he liked Duke Zhongwu?"
As he spoke, Huo Chengche glanced at the Duke of Zhongwu indifferently, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.
Duke Zhongwu shuddered, quickly giving the boy an awkward smile, secretly thinking: This little prince, how come his aura is becoming more and more terrifying after just a few days...
The little dumpling wasn't scared by the "good-tempered" prince brother. She smiled sweetly and said in her childish voice, "I like everyone, but I like the prince brother the most!"
The young man's thin lips curled almost imperceptibly, and he gave a cold snort, which was taken as agreement with this reason.
"Let's go." Huo Chengche glanced at the fat dog on the ground, picked up the little baby, and walked towards the table first.
As soon as they turned around the screen, everyone immediately stood up and knelt to welcome them.
Huo Chengche stepped forward and helped Old Madam Qin up before she could bend over. "Today I am here to celebrate my maternal grandmother's birthday. Please treat me as an ordinary grandson. There is no need for formalities. Please take your seat."
"Alright, alright," Grandma Qin smiled kindly, and seeing the little baby in Huo Chengche's arms, she gently scratched her soft, chubby chin. "Niannian must be hungry. Many of the cooks at Grandma's house are from Hengchang. Eat more later."
Upon hearing that it was the family's cook, the little dumpling's two bright eyes lit up, and he clapped his hands happily, "Yay!"
"Hahaha..." The old lady's smile became even brighter as she looked at the little baby's adorable appearance.
Huo Chengche concealed his arrogance and humbly helped the old lady to her seat.
As Grandma Qin walked, she quietly said to her grandson, "Che'er, you only woke up yesterday. We thought you would need to rest for a couple of days and wouldn't be able to attend the birthday banquet, so we didn't put much effort into the banquet arrangements..."
What are the seating arrangements?
Huo Chengche was puzzled, but when he looked up and saw the banquet in the courtyard, with all sorts of lights flashing in everyone's eyes, he immediately understood what the old lady meant.
"It's alright, Grandmother, don't worry. They certainly won't dare to bother me today." The young man smiled coldly, glancing at the little baby in his arms who was sniffing left and right, a playful glint flashing in his eyes.
