"So, if we just go back like this, it will definitely be dangerous along the way. Why don't we trouble Miss Zhuangyou to hold this little tiger and pretend that you are holding the sleeping Niannian, so as to attract the attention of those with ill intentions, and then I will take Niannian back."
As Huo Chengche spoke, he beckoned to Fu Man, who immediately understood and hurriedly dragged the little tiger basket over with a smile. He squeezed over to Zhuang You's side and very attentively stuffed the basket containing the white eggs into Zhuang You's hands.
Zhuang You looked at the little tiger in her hand, then looked up at Huo Chengche's gentle and faint smiling face, and spat in her heart—after saying so much, he just wanted to send her away and take her little princess away!
Suddenly, Zhuang You had a flash of inspiration and smiled gently, "Your Highness is right. However, as a weak woman, I am really afraid of this tiger cub, and even more afraid of the villains along the way. Your Highness is so wise and powerful, I am not afraid at all!"
As she spoke, Zhuangyou gave a look to a certain little cutie, her eyes sparkling with a gentle threat, a little secret that probably only the two of them knew.
So, just as the little dumpling was about to whine that Sister Zhuangyou was lying, she immediately pouted and curled her fluffy little head up to rest on her older brother's shoulder, pretending to be dead.
Huo Chengche stared dumbfounded at the little thing that was being quiet and whimpering, which was quite unexpected. How come this little rascal really stopped making a sound after being glared at by Zhuang You?
It's the tacit understanding that comes from raising children together since childhood.
In this world, the only person who would dare to blatantly lie to a little cutie without being exposed is Zhuang You.
This realization made the young man very unhappy. He suddenly felt that he should have been reborn a few years earlier, preferably early enough for him to travel from the capital to Hengchang to witness her birth!
Seeing that this sesame-filled little prince had finally gotten his comeuppance, Zhuang You smiled and felt a sense of revenge. Before he could recover, she immediately spoke up, "I'm sure Your Highness wouldn't ask a weak woman like me to do something so dangerous, would you?"
A weak woman? Afraid of tigers?
When Huo Chengche heard these words coming from Zhuang You's mouth, he thought he had heard the biggest joke in the world, and he gave a cold laugh.
He said, "We all come from the same place, so how come this pomelo can remain untainted by the mud?"
It was all an illusion after all!
Huo Chengche took a deep breath, glanced at Zhuang You, snorted coldly, and still gave the soft and warm little wife in his arms to her.
One day, he will push her to the back of his little wife's heart!
Seeing Huo Chengche's sullen face, Zhuangyou hugged her little princess, chuckled, and gave her a kiss on her soft little face. "Your little princess is so good! I'll make you something delicious later!"
"Mmm!" The little dumpling immediately nestled happily into the crook of Zhuangyou's shoulder, rubbing his fluffy little head against her affectionately.
Huo Chengche watched as his little wife nestled into someone's arms without any hesitation, snorted coldly, and turned around to pick up the little tiger, Bai Dandan, who dared not utter a sound.
Fu Man grabbed the baby's coat and threw it on haphazardly, then draped a small cape over its head. Huo Chengche held it in his arms like a baby, pulling the cape's hood over its head.
Unless you get close and pry it open, you can't tell that Huo Chengche is holding a little tiger.
Huo Chengche carried the little tiger out the door and headed towards Gantai Palace. Just as he had expected, it wasn't just Princess Linhuang's group that was active in the palace tonight.
