"Over there, over there!" The little dumpling pointed with his chubby little hand and called out in his babyish voice. A large army of adventurers (or troublemakers) set off "mightily" toward the backyard.
Since it was an adventure, the little one shouldn't stay nestled in her brother's arms. She kicked her short legs, let Huo Chengche put her down, and then ran off on her little legs.
The tiny ball is adorable as it runs, with a pair of dimples that make it look sweet and charming. It is adorned with two pink butterfly pendants that sway back and forth, making it look incredibly cute.
Huo Chengche looked at the lively and adorable girl in front of him, a faint smile playing on his thin lips, his eyes full of doting affection, and leisurely followed behind her.
Xuan Di glanced at Huo Chengche's lecherous eyes, raised an eyebrow coldly, stepped forward, and directly cut between the two, blocking Huo Chengche's view.
Huo Chengche looked at Xuan Di, who had suddenly cut in front of him, his deep eyes turned cold, and he gave him a sharp look, implying a warning.
Xuan Di chuckled wickedly, feigning ignorance as he asked, "Your Highness, look at today's matter. I didn't start it. I'm at most an accomplice. If this gets to your father's ears..."
Huo Chengche glanced at Xuan Di, who had a sly smile on his face, and coldly curled his lips in sarcasm, "Fifth Young Master really knows his place. He knows that Father Emperor doesn't like you and is just waiting for an opportunity to throw you back to the Prince of Hengchang."
Xuandi choked, realizing perfectly well that the young prince was threatening him!
Huo Chengche looked at Xuan Di's dark face, and in a good mood, he raised his eyebrows slightly. Under Xuan Di's deep gaze, he glanced to the side, his meaning clear.
Xuan Di's handsome face was gloomy as he glared at Huo Chengche through gritted teeth.
However, when he thought of his own father, his spirits immediately sank.
In the end, he could only grit his teeth and snort coldly, his face darkening, but he still reluctantly took a step to the side to give Huo Chengche a chance to see him.
The latter smiled wryly, a hint of pride in his eyes, as he looked with doting affection at the adorable little baby running around in front of him.
At this moment, the silly little baby was unaware that she had been sold to the big bad wolf by her own brother again. She was hopping around, craning her neck to look left and right, her watery eyes sparkling with curiosity.
Huo Chengche curled his lips, met Xuan Di's deep and indignant gaze, and said with a smile, "Fifth Young Master, rest assured, since I took the lead in this matter, I will naturally take full responsibility and will not implicate you in anything."
As he spoke, the young man smiled easily under Xuan Di's gaze, exuding a wicked and arrogant air.
Seeing this look, Xuan Di was stunned for a moment, and then his handsome face darkened immediately—he had been tricked! Huo Chengche was already certain that Emperor Chongjin would not be angry about this matter.
But before he could angrily retaliate, the little boy who had been running ahead came running back, jumped onto his two older brothers' laps, and looked up at them, saying:
"Crown Prince! Fifth Brother! That fierce-looking uncle is up ahead!"
Hearing the little boy's soft, sweet voice, the two of them looked in the direction he had run back. They saw a brown-clad servant in the distance, who was rather thin, but judging from his gait, he must be skilled in martial arts.
Immediately afterwards, the brown-clad servant in front turned a corner and disappeared from everyone's sight.
Huo Chengche narrowed his deep eyes slightly.
The little boy looked up at his two older brothers and asked in his childish voice, "Aren't we going to follow?"
The little boy first glanced at his older brother, the Crown Prince, and seeing that the Crown Prince seemed to be thinking about something, he immediately rolled his big, dark eyes and looked at his fifth brother.
