Adorably Cute Baby: Mommy's Going Against the Heavens

Situ Jingtian and Situ Jingxuan were also at the auction house. Situ Jingtian came for a Xuan-level immortal artifact, while Situ Jingxuan came to find Shen Yunxi.

Unfortunately, he looked at everyone's face but couldn't find Shen Yunxi or the others.

Situ Jingtian muttered in confusion, "Could she have hidden herself? But that doesn't make sense. Two adults and two children are very conspicuous. Logically, they should be easy to spot. Could it be that she didn't come?"

Hearing this, Situ Jingtian looked at his younger brother speechlessly: "Don't bother Miss Shen. The man beside her is no ordinary person! Don't make a scene again!"

Situ Jingxuan disagreed, saying, "Six years ago, I failed to protect Yunxi. Six years later, when we meet again, I will definitely protect her well. Besides, she and that man are not married yet. If I don't work hard, I will have no chance at all!"

Situ Jingtian rubbed his forehead slightly: "Didn't you notice her attitude towards the man next to her? They might get married soon!"

"Hmph, so what? As long as we're not married, I still have a chance!" Situ Jingxuan said nonchalantly.

"I've never seen anyone so eager to become someone's stepfather!" Situ Jingtian said through gritted teeth.

Next door to them were Xiao Chuhuang, Xiao Chuhuan, and Jiang Shuyue, who was wearing a veil.

Jiang Shuyue coughed softly twice, making her look even more pitiful. She said to Xiao Chuhuan, "Although the thousand-year-old dragon bone can heal my injury, it is too precious. I don't want you to spend money on me."

Xiao Chuhuan said with pity, "As long as you can recover, it doesn't matter how many spirit stones it costs."

He was determined to get the thousand-year-old dragon bone!

It wasn't just for Jiang Shuyue, but also for himself.

The incident a couple of days ago damaged his foundation, and if it is not repaired in time, his status as the heir to the throne may change hands.

He absolutely would not allow this to happen!

Xiao Chuhuang sat listlessly at the table, swinging her legs idly, showing her indifferent mood.

Xiao Chuhuang casually picked up a piece of pastry, took a small bite, and savored it.

However, the taste of the pastries greatly disappointed her. Her brows furrowed slightly involuntarily as a cloyingly sweet taste spread in her mouth, making her feel nauseous.

She quickly spat out the pastry, muttering a complaint, "Disgusting!"

Xiao Chuhuang loosened her slender fingers, and the pastry floated lightly onto the table with a barely audible sound.

She turned her head slightly to look at Jiang Shuyue beside her, her tone casual yet undeniably firm: "Shuyue, would the Beiyuan royal family be short of money for your treatment? This little bit of money is nothing to us."

She paused, then softened her tone, adding with concern, "Don't worry about these trivial matters anymore. Focusing on recovering is the most important thing."

Xiao Chuhuang raised her hand and gently patted Jiang Shuyue's shoulder, encouraging her: "Prepare well for the Star-Picking Pavilion selection, strive to make a name for yourself, and don't let everyone down."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Shuyue obediently lowered her eyes and softly responded, her long eyelashes concealing the fleeting glint in her eyes.

She nestled even deeper into Xiao Chuhuan's arms, her delicate and boneless appearance further arousing the man's protective instincts.

Feeling the warmth emanating from Xiao Chuhuan, Jiang Shuyue sneered inwardly, but her face became even more delicate.

Whether it's the crown prince or the princess, they're all being manipulated by her!
