The little baby pouts, her lips pursed high, staring at him with a huffy look, as if to say, "You naughty little prince."
That look in his eyes... why does it look so familiar?
Huo Chengche suddenly realized that every time his little wife angrily accused her bad fifth brother, wasn't she always making this little face?
Thinking of Xuan Di, Huo Chengche frowned and immediately coaxed the chubby little boy, "Niannian is right!"
The little girl immediately knew that her prince brother was indeed naughty and was just being perfunctory with her.
The pouty little baby immediately pounced on him, hugging his neck and pressing her little face against his, saying loudly in her childish voice, "Niannian isn't afraid of them! They all listen to Niannian and won't hurt her!"
At this moment, a dark figure suddenly appeared out of nowhere and arrived in front of Huo Chengche in the blink of an eye.
Huo Chengche glanced around and saw that the person who had come was Gu Ran, a guard he had chosen. "Is there news from the palace?"
Liang Sheng had met Gu Ran several times. Although they hadn't exchanged many words, he had gotten used to Gu Ran's elusive nature and his sudden appearances.
Tong Youlin had never seen such a scene before. He was so frightened that he almost mistook Gu Ran for an assassin and rushed over to knock him aside.
Fortunately, Huo Chengche spoke first. Seeing that no one present even raised their eyelids, Tong Youlin had no choice but to slightly restrain his eyes, which were about to pop out.
Gu Ran lowered his gaze respectfully, his cold and solemn voice steady and unwavering, “Yes, when His Majesty learned of the giant python in the mountain, he immediately summoned the people of the Beast Taming Bureau. However, there was no one in the Beast Taming Bureau who could drive away or kill such a giant python.”
"There's no one in the Beast Taming Bureau either?" Huo Chengche frowned, quite doubtful.
Clearly, he also looked down on the giant python on the mountain.
To outsiders, this kind of imposing aura appears intimidating.
Liang Sheng's legs trembled at the mere mention of the word "python." Hearing the disdain in Huo Chengche's tone, he couldn't help but say:
"Your Highness, you heard it. It's not that I'm timid, but I've never seen such a large python, not even in the capital or in the miasma-ridden lands of Sichuan."
"Hmph!" That proud and soft little baby voice could be heard coming from a certain little dumpling.
Upon hearing the adults' words, the little dumpling immediately raised its head proudly, pouting, which made the little dumpling incredibly smug.
Huo Chengche frowned, glancing down at the spoiled little baby in his arms with a headache. He was both amused and helpless, his thin lips pressed tightly together, his deep eyes filled with complex emotions.
In the silence, Gu Ran continued, "Furthermore, news came from the palace that Fifth Young Master Wei has returned. Hearing that you found the little princess here, he brought Zhan Yu here to find you."
Battlefield?
When Tong Youlin heard the name, he didn't suspect anything, assuming it was someone like the elusive Gu Ran, another young master from a prominent family who was always by his side. Until...
"Fat Tuantuan!" The little dumpling, nestled in the boy's arms, immediately perked up when he heard that Fat Tuantuan was coming. He kicked his little legs happily, pricked up his little ears to listen carefully, and then shouted happily in his baby voice, "Fat Tuantuan! Niannian is here! Come here!"
She just wants to be chubby! Not like her naughty fifth brother!
The little dumpling pouted, thinking this with a proud and aloof air.
