The bigger fetus seemed to sense something. He moved his arms as his brows furrowed with doubt, feeling that he was being watched by something…

Helian Wei Wei also noticed His Highness’ gaze. Not only that, she felt that the baby in her womb was more active every time His Highness was here.

It was as if His Highness and the baby were interacting.

However… their interaction was a little unfriendly.

Helian Wei Wei stroked her womb laughingly. She believed Baili Jia Jue’s words now, the baby in her womb must be a boy.

If he was not a boy, he would not disagree with His Highness even before he was born.

This pair of father and son was really…

“Are you not going to the South Chancery today?” Even though Helian Wei Wei loved to lay in His Highness’ arms, she knew that the imperial court was very hectic lately.

Baili Jia Jue fed her another red date and drank the tea, before replying, “I’m not needed at the South Chancery yet.”

“Huh?” Helian Wei Wei was confused. As the Retired Emperor had slowly handed over all the trivial matters nowadays, this should be the busiest time for His Highness.

Baili Jia Jue was calm and collected, a.s.suring her, “We need to know how to utilize human resources well, especially at times like this.”

Meanwhile, an intellectual was sitting in front of a heap of memorials and stamping them ceaselessly with thunderous fury, “Baili Jia Jue, how can you screw your brother over? Ahh!”

“Young Master Lie, please calm down. Don’t tear the doc.u.ments!” The little eunuchs felt greatly anxious when they saw his state.

As he helplessly gazed at the mountain of doc.u.ments before him, Nangong Lie grieved furiously in his heart.

Helian Wei Wei had heard that Nangong Lie was helping to relieve some of His Highness’ workload. When she thought of that uninhibited man and imagined the situation at the South Chancery, she chuckled and asked, “Are you referring to Young Master Lie?”

“His temper is quite bad lately. He needs to read more doc.u.ments to cultivate his character and train his patience.” Baili Jia Jue said without feeling apologetic, as if the one who delegated all these jobs was not him. He smiled and took Helian Wei Wei’s hands, looking at her translucent and beautiful nails, saying, “It’s time to cut the nails.”

Helian Wei Wei did not notice her nails, but she felt that His Highness had become more sly. With his personality, Nangong Lie would not simply promise to help with His Highness’ workload. There must be a deal between them.

Nevertheless, this drama was fun and interesting.

Helian Wei Wei did not mind watching it for a few more days. However, she wanted to take the scissors and trim her nails, as she saw that they had become longer.

Baili Jia Jue’s actions were faster as he took away the scissors from her hands and lay her in his arms. Then, he trimmed her nails while looking at it sideways. He had a fair, handsome face and a straight nose bridge. As he smiled gently at her, he seemed extremely good-looking.

Helian Wei Wei thought this was the best view possible.

She had always known His Highness was handsome.

Every close-up would make her heart flutter and her soul jump.

Now that she had seen more of him, although the sudden feeling of being mesmerized had lessened, it became harder for her to look away from his face.
