Chapter 869: Chapter 869: The Two Little Crown Princes’ Well-Behaved Personas Collapse

Huo Yao and Huo Anqi nodded vigorously, snuggling into Qin Ruan’s arms and acting coy.

Huo Yao’s little head rested on Qin Ruan’s belly, and with a sigh, he said, "Mom, you smell so good——"

Huo Anqi lay in Qin Ruan’s embrace, wrapping his little arms around her neck, blushed as he kissed her, and shyly said, "Mom’s scent is very nice."

Qin Ruan, feeling her heart melt with her children’s affection, still spoke with feigned disdain, "You two little stinkers! Don’t think you can charm me with cuteness now; I know just how naughty you’ve been behind my back."

Huo Yao didn’t like hearing that and raised his little chin, puffing out his cheeks as he said, "I’ve been good!"

Huo Anqi also blinked his big eyes, staring at Qin Ruan, looking every bit as well-behaved as he claimed.

Qin Ruan pinched Huo Yao’s puffed-up cheek with her left hand, and with her right, she touched Huo Anqi’s short black hair, "If you were good, then who ruined all those toys that the servants clean up every day? And there’s more..."

She lifted the clothes on Huo Yao, revealing the purplish bruise on his waist, and with her other hand, she pulled back Huo Anqi’s sleeve to show several small pinch marks, "How did you get these injuries? Don’t tell me the servants are abusing you."

Huo Yao: "..."

Huo Anqi: "..."

Both children fell silent at the same time, bowing their heads, not daring to look at Qin Ruan.

Their demeanor was both guilty and docile.

Of course, if Qin Ruan ignored the aura emanating from them, she might have fallen for their act.

White Spiritual Power surged around Huo Yao’s body, aggressively heading toward Huo Anqi, bringing with it an intimidating pressure.

Huo Anqi, meanwhile, released a dense and fearsome Evil Qi, which collided with Huo Yao’s Spiritual Power, engaging in a fierce struggle.

The air exploded with sound, as a harsh killing intent spread wantonly throughout the room.

Huo Yao and Huo Anqi blamed each other for leaving evidence of their fight on their bodies. Neither would yield to the other as their Spiritual Power and Evil Qi continued to clash.

The smile slowly faded from Qin Ruan’s face, her red lips curling into a cold curve; this time, she was truly angry.

"You both sure have some nerve, fighting right in front of me; it seems you haven’t really been punished before."

The displeasure in her aura spread unrestrained, the room filling with a chilling presence, and her voice was utterly devoid of emotion.

Huo Yao and Huo Anqi both shivered, quickly withdrawing their Spiritual Power and Evil Qi. Goosebumps sprouted all over their bodies.

The children stiffly lifted their heads, seeing their mother’s charming yet unflirtatious face tight with anger; her fox-like eyes slightly raised at the brows, her gaze weighing heavily upon them.

Huo Anqi, abandoning his usual composure, clung to Qin Ruan’s arms with both hands, his tearful eyes blurred with grievance, "Mom, I’m still little, it was Big Brother who bullied me!"

"You, you——" Huo Yao’s eyes widened in disbelief as he looked at Huo Anqi, questioning his whole life.

Was this the same little brother who always turned his nose up at him, who scorned him?

Huo Yao bit his little milk tooth, flipped up the hem of his clothes to reveal the bruise on his waist. He blinked hard, forcing tears out of his eyes and onto his cheeks.

Looking up with a tear-streaked face, he sobbed, "Mom, it’s Little Brother’s fault, he doesn’t listen. All the injuries on my body are because Little Brother hit me."

After Qin Ruan saw the bruise on his waist, he also rolled up his trouser leg, pointing to a red mark on his calf, "And this, this was pinched by Little Brother’s hand."

Huo Anqi’s gaze shifted downward, his deep and brooding eyes narrowing slightly as he watched his brother cry out of apparent grievance, yet he couldn’t hide a smugness deep within.

His little mouth curled into a cold smile, placed Qin Ruan’s hand on top of his head, "Mom, there’s a patch of hair that’s gone bald, Big Brother yanked it out, and the pinch marks on my arm, Big Brother did that too, and he also stole my toys..."

Feeling the bald patch on Huo Anqi’s head, Qin Ruan’s already unpleased expression grew even grimmer.

Huo Yao, noticing his mother was angry, was also enraged, his mouth spewing out curses, "You’re lying!"

This time he was truly wronged.

Indeed, the injuries on his little brother were caused by him, heeded by their father’s warning, they never had visible marks on their faces.

Yet, with each fight, when hadn’t he secretly held back and ended up losing miserably?

Even so, he still had to bear the infamy of bullying his brother, an intolerable injustice!

Huo Yao looked eagerly at Qin Ruan, his small mouth pouted, the picture of aggrievement.

Qin Ruan glanced at Huo Anqi in her arms, then at Huo Yao sitting beside her, who had previously cried with dramatic flair and now truly looked wronged.

She raised an eyebrow, her voice indifferent, "It takes two to tango."

So, stop playing the victim here.

Qin Ruan reached into her pocket and took out her cell phone, tapping on a particular app on the screen.

She smiled and asked Huo Yao and Huo Anqi, "Do you know what this is?"

The brothers shook their heads, a bad feeling rising in their hearts.

Qin Ruan pressed the app icon, and familiar imagery popped up—wasn’t it a live feed of the room they were in now?

Huo Yao and Huo Anqi were both stunned—there was a surveillance camera in their room?

A huge oversight!

Qin Ruan looked amused as she watched the two kids with their mouths slightly open, eyes wide, and faces full of guilt.

She put away her phone, folded her arms across her chest, touched no one, and asked in a gentle, slow tone, "Tell me, why were you fighting?"

Silence. Neither of the brothers spoke up.

Qin Ruan waited patiently and asked again, amused.

Huo Yao sneaked a glance at his younger brother across from him, his mouth contorted in disdain, and took the initiative to confess, "Aqi wouldn’t call me brother."

Huo Anqi’s dark eyes fixed on him, his voice a mix of complaint and resentment, "It’s your fault for kicking me in mom’s belly, taking advantage of my slow reaction to come out first; otherwise, I would have been the older brother!"

Huo Yao’s face beamed with more brilliance than the fierce sun, proudly boasting, "But I was still the first to climb out from mom’s belly."

Far from being ashamed, he was incredibly proud.

Huo Anqi gave him a disparaging look, "That’s because you played dirty."

Huo Yao spread his hands wide, "Blame your own lack of strength."

Huo Anqi’s dark eyes narrowed slightly, "It was you who first said I was the older brother and that you would yield to me, but then you ambushed me."

Huo Yao’s patience slowly wore thin, his tone displeased, "We were conceived together; there’s no such thing as ’older’ or ’younger’ in the belly. Whoever comes out first is the older brother."

Huo Anqi sneered, "As if you act like an older brother."

Huo Yao glared at him, his teeth grinding audibly, "If you weren’t my younger brother, do you think I would lose every fight? I’ve been letting you win!"

Huo Anqi laughed coldly, "Clearly, it’s your lack of true ability!"

Scorned by his younger brother, anger flared in Huo Yao’s heart, "You little brat, are you asking for a beating?!"

Huo Anqi’s little face appeared haughty, "Come on then! Let’s see who can win!"

Huo Yao swiftly stood up, pointing a small finger at Huo Anqi’s nose, issuing a threat, "Bring it on!"

Witnessing the two adorable kids, with their innocent faces full of impending fury, ready to start throwing punches, Qin Ruan coughed to signal her presence, "Ahem—"
