Huo Chengche felt as if his heart had been gripped and squeezed, and he felt extremely distressed. While wiping away the little boy's tears, his usually clear and gentle voice was unusually low and tender today, "Niannian is so brave. Niannian is not afraid anymore. Crown Prince and Fifth Brother are here. No one will dare to bully Niannian anymore."
Knowing he had a powerful backer, the little boy cried even louder. But after being comforted by his older brother, the little boy cried even more pitifully.
Huo Chengche frowned with heartache, holding the little baby and patiently wiping away her tears again and again, determined not to let her tears fall to the ground, while whispering soothing words to her repeatedly.
"Is Niannian hurt?" Huo Chengche held the little baby who was crying and hiccuping on his shoulder, gently patting her back to help her catch her breath, and asked in a gentle voice.
The little dumpling shook its head, then suddenly stood up, sniffed, and looked down to search.
What is Niannian looking for?
Huo Chengche had just finished asking when he saw the little bun's fluffy head stop. He followed her gaze and saw the cage lying on the ground, with the little tiger in its milky-colored fur still pitifully lying inside.
Huo Chengche and Xuan Di were both focused on the little baby and didn't pay attention to it for a moment.
"It smells so good! I... I want to smell it..." The little dumpling slumped his head and twisted his little hands, speaking softly and sweetly, looking like a little baby who had done something wrong.
Huo Chengche smiled faintly, how could he bear to let his little baby suffer?
He quickly pulled her into his arms, letting her little ear rest against his strong chest, gently patting her soft little bottom. His chest trembled slightly as he spoke in a deep, resonant voice, "Yes, Your Highness knows. It wasn't Niannian's fault. Babies like Niannian, when they smell it for the first time, all react this way."
Huo Chengche spoke vaguely because he vaguely sensed that Xuan Di meant that only their children would have this condition, but he didn't want the little one to feel sad and think it was his fault, so he just glossed over it.
Sure enough, upon hearing the Crown Prince's words, the little boy's previously uneasy, misty eyes immediately regained their sparkle, gazing at him with eyes as bright as stars. His dimples deepened, and his soft, sweet voice carried a hint of expectation, "Really? Really?"
Seeing this, Huo Chengche felt extremely distressed. He smiled gently, patted his little wife, and insisted, "Of course it's true!"
The little dumpling immediately laughed happily, then hugged the prince's neck and said, "Prince, please let the white egg out!"
As he spoke, the little boy quickly pointed to the cage on the ground.
Huo Chengche and Xuan Di exchanged a glance, then followed the tiny little finger of the baby boy and saw the little white tiger in the cage.
This time, even Huo Chengche, who usually doted on Huo Chengche without any limits, had a stiff expression.
He coughed, looked down uncertainly at the little bundle in his arms, and asked, "White... Egg?"
Upon closer listening, a hint of schadenfreude could be heard in his tone.
However, the little dumpling didn't listen carefully. She nodded, then her dimples appeared, she showed her little tiger teeth, and gave Huo Chengche a big, bright smile. She was incredibly cute and adorable, and looked quite proud. "Yes! White Egg! The name Nian Nian gave him! Isn't it a nice name?"
"White egg! White egg..."
As if to prove how nice her name was and how much the little tiger liked it, the little girl nestled in Huo Chengche's arms and called out to the little tiger in the cage again and again in her soft, babyish voice.
