As for the little baby who was blinking his bright, dark eyes and listening intently to Sister He Wan's story, he was really engrossed in listening and wouldn't be easily dismissed by He Wan's vague "medicine".
The little boy waited and waited, but seeing that Sister He Wan didn't seem to want to continue, and even glanced at her, the precocious little boy immediately understood what He Wan meant.
Instantly, the little boy's bright, sparkling eyes filled with displeasure. He puffed out his cheeks in a fierce expression, kicked his short legs, and grumbled, "Sister He Wan is so mean! She just doesn't want to tell Niannian!"
As she spoke, the little boy threw himself into Huo Chengche's arms with a pitiful expression and wailed, his soft, childish voice filled with sorrow, "Third Brother, Third Brother! Sister He Wan doesn't like Niannian!"
Huo Chengche looked at the little baby nestled in his arms, and the pitiful little voice touched his heart, causing his brows to furrow instantly.
He gently pulled the little girl out of his arms, and just as he was about to wipe her tears, he realized that the little rascal had been wailing in her babyish voice for a long time, but there wasn't a single tear on her face.
Huo Chengche was taken aback. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw the unsurprised helplessness on Zhuang You's face. Only then did he realize that this cute little rascal was actually quite cunning.
The boy chuckled wryly and coaxed gently, "Alright, Niannian, be a good girl. You've heard enough for now. How about your third brother takes you to play with the other older brothers and sisters?"
Are little babies really that easy to please?
Upon hearing Huo Chengche's slightly indulgent tone, Zhuang You knew she was doomed.
Sure enough, upon hearing the gentle tone in the Crown Prince's words, the little dumpling immediately wagged its invisible tail.
Then, the little boy's eyes welled up with tears. He stared longingly at Huo Chengche with his big, watery eyes, wrapped his arms around Huo Chengche's neck, and nuzzled his neck against Huo Chengche's neck, pouting and begging in a sweet, childish voice.
"Crown Prince~ Niannian wants to know, does Third Brother Huo not like Niannian anymore...?"
Even the term "Crown Prince Brother" appeared, and that sweet, childlike voice, with its twists and turns, trickled into Huo Chengche's ears, tickling his heart.
Hearing the child's pitiful voice, Huo Chengche's heart melted instantly. His usually cold expression softened, and he sighed helplessly. He patted the little dumpling's bottom and said, "You little ungrateful thing, slandering me like this. All the love I've given you is for nothing."
The little baby pouted and looked at him expectantly, his dark, watery eyes filled with his reflection.
The boy sighed helplessly again, saying "You little ingrate" but still glanced at He Wan and ordered in a deep voice, "Speak. It's not necessarily a bad thing for Niannian to know more. Girls always need to learn how to protect themselves."
Zhuangyou listened to the prince's baseless words and exchanged a speechless glance with Hewan, feeling extremely troubled—her little darling had found another one to fawn over.
Moreover, since Huo Chengche had spoken, He Wan had no choice but to obey. She looked at Huo Chengche helplessly and said, "Some aphrodisiacs were added to the wine cup, but we haven't found out who added them yet."
"What is a 'Miqing medicine'? Is it something that, after drinking it, allows you to ask the dark clouds that block out the sun for a little bit of sunshine?" the little dumpling asked in a childish voice, tilting his head.
Huo Chengche shook his head helplessly, neither laughing nor crying.
Upon hearing this, Zhuang You immediately stepped forward before Huo Chengche could answer, approached her little princess, nodded sincerely, and smiled gently, "Yes, little princess is so smart!"
