Chapter 1667: Unwilling To Leave

They played for almost two hours until Auntie Lan called. Jing Xi had to tell Little Grape, “Your Highness, time to go now. I’ll have to bring you back.”

Little Grape found this place to be not so bad. He enjoyed playing with sand and eating their snacks, and did not want to go home.

As huge as the palace was, he had no fun and no friends to play with.

Little Grape tried to stay longer. “Auntie Xiaoxi, I’m not going home, I don’t want to go!”

Jing Xi knew he had great fun here and was unwilling to leave. But she could not let him stay overnight.

“I know you don’t want to go home. But Grandma Lan is waiting for you. If you stay too long, when your daddy finds out, you will never be able to come and play again.”

Upon hearing that, the little boy stood up unwillingly. He pouted and seemed pretty sad.

“Don’t be sad. You go back and be a good boy today, and you can come back tomorrow!”

“Really? Can I come tomorrow?”

“Of course you can.”

With her permission, Little Grape felt much better. Jing Xi helped him wash his hands and got him a bag of yummy snacks. Then she took him back to the car.

She sent him back to Auntie Lan.

Auntie Lan told the boy, “Your Highness, it’s time to say goodbye to Auntie Xiaoxi!”

But Little Grape held his snacks tightly and said solemnly, “I’m not saying goodbye. I’m coming again tomorrow!”

Jing Xi and Auntie Lan both laughed. Let’s talk about it tomorrow!

In the following days, whenever they had time, Auntie Lan would bright the boy to Jing Xi.

Little Grape got used to the new way of meeting with Auntie Xiaoxi and no longer played grumpy when he was back in the palace.

After a while, Huo Yunshen came back to the palace and asked about the boy. “I’ve been too busy to check on Hengheng. How has he been doing lately?”

“His Highness is doing great. He behaves well and no longer asks for his nanny.”

“That’s good.”

Hearing that his boy had been doing great, Huo Yushen felt very satisfied.

He reasoned that he was right to keep the boy away from Jin Xiaoxi. Now he had gotten used to it and no longer asked for her.

What he did not know was that his son had been seeing Jin Xiaoxi all the time secretly.

Knowing that his daughter Ying Bao was coming back tomorrow, Huo Yunshen added, “Auntie Lan, Cherry is coming back tomorrow. Third sister is coming for lunch too. Let’s get well prepared.”

“No problem, Your Highness,” Auntie Lan answered. But she wondered how she could tell the little prince since they had already made an appointment with Jin Xiaoxi for tomorrow.

On the following morning, Princess Cherry finally returned to Triumph Palace. Upon seeing her, Auntie Lan asked, “Your Highness, did you have fun in the Northland?”

“Yes, I did,” Ying Bao answered briefly. Actually, only she knew how much fun she had there.

It was about lunchtime and Huo Sanyan came to see her niece and nephew. She brought them great gifts.

Ying Bao got a pretty dress and thanked her. Little Grape got a huge box of new toys and thanked her too. He was already thinking of bringing them to play with Niuniu.

The lunch was served. Huo Yunshen managed to join them in time.

During lunch, he asked about his third sister. “How are you doing with Ye Xun? When are you getting married?”

“What…”

Huo Sanyan almost choked on her soup…
