Xin Moyan quickly tugged at Hua Buyu's sleeve. With her younger brother here, it wasn't appropriate to say such unpleasant things. Besides, she wasn't familiar with these princes and didn't want to offend anyone.

"Ahem! I didn't expect this young lady to be such a sentimental person. Marriage between men and women is all about mutual affection. Since my third brother and the princess have no feelings for each other, then let's not delay each other's future."

Yuan Huaize sighed silently in his heart. He didn't know if his third brother was blind or not, but he still had to protect his brother's reputation.

Hua Buyu merely snorted coldly and said with utter disdain, "What do you mean by 'not delaying each other'? My Yan Yan is so beautiful and charming, it's as if the Prince Lie has no eyes to admire her!"

"No... no more words. That's enough, you can't say any more."

Xin Moyan felt a little embarrassed. Anyone who didn't know better would think that she always complained about Yuan Huailie in front of Bu Yu!

Yuan Huaize rubbed his nose. Anyway, it was Third Brother who was being scolded, which had nothing to do with him. But these two women were quite interesting!

Seeing Yuan Huaize sit down gracefully and naturally to the side, Xin Moling raised her eyebrows and spoke in a somewhat cold tone.

"Fifth Prince, what are you doing?"

"Since it is such a fine time and beautiful scenery, and I have such a lovely lady by my side, I am naturally reluctant to leave. Brother Ling, you wouldn't be so stingy as to refuse to let me sit with you, would you?"

Normally, Xin Moling wouldn't refuse to sit with him, but just now, his words about having a beauty by her side—could he be referring to Yan'er? She also remembered the day they broke off their engagement, when he said he admired Yan'er. This wouldn't do!

“Your Highness, the seats I have reserved tonight are rather small and may not be enough. I would like to invite Your Highness to join me another day by reserving a private room.”

Yuan Huaize's lips twitched slightly. He really didn't expect Xin Moling to be so disrespectful to him. At least when he had a conflict with his third brother, he only remained neutral and did not offend Xin Moling. He was really petty!

"Alright! Xin Moling, don't be so stingy. That person... what was that prince again? This prince is quite polite. Besides, isn't this table big enough for four or five people to sit at?"

Hua Buyu waved his hand at him, signaling him to be more magnanimous. Xin Moling was so angry that he didn't say anything more.

"Lou Xiaobao, aren't you going to say hello when you see me?"

Yuan Huaize, separated from Lou Shenghan, saw the little guy staring at him with his chubby face and couldn't help but reach out and rub his little head.

Lou Xiaobao instantly revealed two adorable little tiger teeth and said cutely, "Hello, Uncle Zhe!"

"Xiao Bao, I've said it so many times, I'm Uncle Ze."

"Uncle Zhe~"

"Ze~"

"Fold~"

"..."

Yuan Huaize, who was always gentle and refined, couldn't help but show a hint of chapping on his face at this moment.

After a long while, he turned his head and asked Lou Shenghan with a puzzled look, "Lou Xiang has always been eloquent and persuasive in court, so how come Lou Xiaobao is so...naive and innocent?"

"Are you doubting that Xiao Bao is not Ben Xiang's bloodline?"

Lou Shenghan stared at his face with a sinister look. Xiao Bao was only three years old. It was normal for him to mispronounce words occasionally. How dare he doubt the blood relationship between father and son!

"No, no, no! I just think that Prime Minister Lou should pay more attention to his child's upbringing. After all, you only have one son, so you really need to put more effort into him."

“No need for Your Highness to trouble yourself. Your Highness has never raised children, so you naturally do not know how to teach children’s minds.”

"..."

Yuan Huaize knew he was being sarcastic about not having children, and his face immediately darkened; he was so angry he didn't want to talk to anyone.

"Haha~ Little Lou, just stay cute and be yourself. Uncle Zhe is Uncle Zhe, I like you like this little treasure."

Seeing the two arguing about Lou Xiaobao's education, Hua Buyu burst out laughing without any restraint. After speaking, she didn't forget to kiss Lou Xiaobao's face several times, making him extremely happy.

"Baby loves your sister's porridge~"

"Sister likes Xiaobao too!"

Xin Moyan poured a small glass of water and gently coaxed Lou Xiaobao, "Xiaobao, you ate quite a few pastries just now, you can't eat anymore. Let's drink some water, okay?"

"Mmm, Mommy~"

"Mother?"

Yuan Huaize looked at Lou Shenghan in disbelief. How did Xin Moyan become Lou Xiaobao's mother?

Lou Shenghan rolled her eyes and said irritably, "Why are you looking at me? You know that Xiao Bao always loves to claim his mother. He got lost on the street just now and was found by the princess by chance. But this kid keeps pestering the princess."

"I see. It seems the princess is quite popular with children!"

Xin Moyan smiled politely but did not respond. She asked Cailian about the situation. The people who used to bully her were led by the Sixth Prince. Lou Shenghan would make sarcastic remarks whenever he saw her, while Yuan Huaize would just watch the show from the sidelines, never stopping or intervening. That's why she didn't want to pay attention to these people!

"Third Brother, it's so lively over there. Why hasn't Xin Moyan turned around to look at you even once since then? Has she really forgotten you and let you go?"

Yuan Huaiyu spoke with utter boredom, chatting with these people about the same old topics. Looking at the lively atmosphere over there, and with his strong curiosity about Xin Moyan, he really wanted to go and take a look!

Yuan Huailie listened to these words, but his expression remained unchanged. He simply said, "Sixth Prince, I have never had any extra feelings for Xin Moyan. Now that the marriage is dissolved, we should each go our own way. You don't need to mention this person to me all the time. I don't want Wu'er to misunderstand."

Qin Wu suddenly looked up, her eyes filled with love and emotion as she looked at Yuan Huailie, and she smiled at him with great tenderness and beauty.

Yuan Huaiyu pursed his lips. What Third Brother said was right, but Xin Moyan was so devoted in the past. After losing her memory, did she really have no feelings for Third Brother at all?

"boom!"

"Mommy~ Flower~"

Lou Xiaobao shouted excitedly, pointing to the bright fireworks in the distance.

Xin Moyan quickly picked up the child and stood at the bow of the boat. The fireworks were so beautiful; she loved watching them too.

"Xiao Bao, do you like watching fireworks?"

"Mmm, Mommy, baby loves to eat!"

Lou Xiaobao hugged her neck and spoke in a soft voice, then gave her a kiss on the cheek.

"Hehehe~ Xiao Bao is so good and cute. If I have the chance in the future, I'll ask my brother to take me to play with Xiao Bao, okay?"

"Yes, Mommy! Let's play! Mommy's great!"

"I would be even happier if Xiaobao called me 'sister'."

"Mother~"

Even though she felt helpless, she couldn't bear to take Lou Xiaobao too seriously. After all, it was the first time she had seen such a cute child. Maybe Xiaobao would call someone else "Mom" when he woke up tomorrow!

Looking at the fireworks, she smiled brightly. Perhaps she could live her life to the fullest here!

In the distance, some people stared at her smiling face, their thoughts varied.
