Xuan Di felt something was wrong as soon as his hand was pulled over, but the little bundle of joy, despite her small size, was surprisingly strong. For at least a moment, Xuan Di couldn't pull her back from the position where he was holding her with one hand.
So, in a moment of carelessness on Xuandi's part, the little dumpling took a big bite and put all its strength into it.
Immediately, Xuandi was in so much pain that he started cursing loudly.
Huo Chengche was originally thinking of kicking him, and then this guy not only didn't coax Niannian but also took the opportunity to laugh at him. However, seeing Xuandi's face contorted in pain, it was clear how much force the little dumpling had used to bite him.
Even Huo Chengche couldn't bear to add fuel to the fire.
The little dumpling's two tiny, milky-white teeth are quite impressive. After Xuandi's initial rough and tumble, his attitude immediately softened.
"Niannian! Niannian!" Xuandi gasped in pain, feeling like he was about to jump up. "Niannian, be good, be good, be good, Niannian is the best, Niannian is the bravest, Fifth Brother was wrong, okay! Let go, let go!"
The little dumpling was getting a bit tired of biting, and when it heard its fifth brother finally say something nice, it hummed and then pouted its little face proudly before letting go. Then it tossed its little head up, looking very smug.
Xuan Di gritted his teeth and flung his hand away, giving the ingrate a few sidelong glances at him.
If she weren't his own sister, he would have thrown her out! She was sitting in his lap, and she was biting him like that! Is she even his sister?!
Huo Chengche looked at Xuan Di with a cold smile, seeing her angry but resentful expression. He sneered and said coolly, "Why is Fifth Young Master looking at Nian Nian like that? You deserve it. Where can you go to complain?"
Xuan Di, his face dark with anger, glared at Huo Chengche, who was adding fuel to the fire. His eyes clearly said: If you don't speak, no one will think you're mute!
Huo Chengche sneered. After Xuan Di's antics, the tense atmosphere from before had vanished in an instant.
Seeing that Xuan Di was angrily shaking his hand, which had a small tooth mark on it, but was still holding the little baby steadily with his other hand, he stopped fussing with the food box and only warned in a deep voice, "Hold Niannian well. If you can't hold her well, you'd better hold the food box properly."
He couldn't believe anyone would choose the warm, soft, sweet little milk bun over the hard, square, and hot food box!
Sure enough, Xuan Di immediately snorted coldly, turned around with a dark face, and glared at the little rascal in his arms. However, when he saw the tear stains on her little face that were still wet, he felt sorry for her and became even angrier at the little girl.
"Alright, Niannian, don't be angry anymore. Listen to your fifth brother. If anything dares to scare you again, you can go back down!" Xuandi raised his hand, his long, slender index finger with distinct knuckles bent, and rubbed it twice on her chubby, pink cheeks.
The gesture was much gentler, and although the words still carried a hint of wildness and unruliness, the domineering aura in them acted like a protective layer, enveloping the little boy's heart.
Huo Chengche glanced at Xuandi, who happened to sense it as well. Xuandi looked back and saw... relief in Huo Chengche's eyes, like the look of a father who had seen his son finally become sensible.
Xuan Di: ...
"What kind of eyes do you have—"
"Heh, now that's more like an older brother."
Xuan Di: ...
Even his tone is exactly the same as his father's!
Xuan Di felt a lump in his throat, "Huo Chengche! We're equals!"
