The fourth prince just dangled there in the air as Lin Fan held him up by the head.
If any of the fourth prince's followers were here, they would have immediately made a fuss over this matter.
Even though Lin Fa felt a bit strange as he did this, the fourth prince didn't resist at all.
After a while, the fourth prince said, "Brother Lin, can you please let me go now? I promise that I have calmed down."
Lin Fan looked at the fourth prince for a bit before letting him down on the ground.
The fourth prince no longer had the same agitated look as before and looked much calmer, but he looked at Mu Bao Bao with a strange look. Then he said with pouted lips, "Big sister, why didn't you tell me you were my big sister?"
Both Lin Fan and Mu Bao Bao couldn't help revealing strange and complicated expressions when they saw the fourth prince acting this way.
Gone was the serious and calm fourth prince that they knew before, the one that countless girls in this empire had listed as their dream lover. Instead, there was this willful fourth prince who was acting like a spoiled brat in front of them.
Neither of them really knew how to react to this…
Finally, Mu Bao Bao said with a sigh, "I didn't know either until today."
The fourth prince still had an aggrieved look on his face, but he accepted this since he knew that this was indeed the case.
After all, his royal father had already told him everything.
There was a moment of silence before the fourth prince suddenly said, "But it's good that you're back, big sister."
Mu Bao Bao looked at the fourth prince with a complicated look since she really didn't know how to treat him. She had assumed that she would never meet her family again, but here was her blood related little brother in front of her.
He wasn't her half brother, but rather her full brother from the same mother and father, so that gave her a stronger sense of closeness with him.
But she had been afraid that they wouldn't be able to connect since they had lived in different worlds.
After another long silence, she said with a smile, "I'm back."
The fourth prince was about to move forward for a hug again, but Lin Fan's hand was already moving towards his head.
ραΠdαsΝοvel.cοm The fourth prince turned to Lin Fan with a bitter smile before saying, "Brother in law, I'm her little brother. There's no need to be jealous like this."
Both Lin Fan and Mu Bao Bao couldn't help revealing awkward looks when the fourth prince was so blunt like this.
But the fourth prince happily said this since he was very glad that Lin Fan was his brother in law.
He had thought that the relationship between him and Lin Fan had been damaged because of this matter. He had been worried that this would cause Lin Fan to drift away from him and use his abilities for someone else.
So when he found out that Lin Fan was his brother in law, all of his worries had disappeared.
After all, if he was his brother in law, there was no way that he would betray them.
In the beginning, the fourth prince was never interested in the throne. That was because he knew that there was someone else who was destined for it, someone he thought was better than himself even though they had never met them before.
It was his big sister, the crown princess of the Mu Empire, Mu Bao Hua.
He had been told many stories about her and that had formed a perfect image of her in his mind.
To him, his big sister was the perfect person and the best candidate for the throne, so he never even thought about taking it for himself.
Then there was the fact that Lin Fan was now his brother in law.
Lin Fan was the only man that had impressed him this much, so that helped build up the perfect image of his big sister in his mind.
Together with Lin Fan, the two of them seemed like the perfect couple.
After the long silence, the fourth prince suddenly said, "Since you don't want me to hug big sister, how about I hug you instead brother in law?"
Lin Fan was caught off guard by this and didn't know how to react.
The fourth prince took advantage of this daze to move forward towards Lin Fan with his arms spread, but before he could grab him…Mu Bao Bao made her move.
She covered the distance between them in an instant and appeared in front of Lin Fan.
But the fourth prince wasn't able to grab her as his head…was grabbed again by an iron clamp of a claw.
However, this time, it wasn't Lin Fan who grabbed him by the face.
Instead, it was Mu Bao Bao who had grabbed him and lifted him off the ground.
The fourth prince was caught off guard, but then he asked with a bitter smile, "Big sister, what's wrong? Why are you grabbing my head like this?"
Mu Bao Bao didn't say anything at first, but then she said, "Stop playing around and act seriously."
When the fourth prince heard this, his eyes instantly lit up.
This was exactly like the big sister that he had fantasized about, so he was very happy to see it in real life like this.
But for Mu Bao Bao, she let out a secret sigh of relief.
That was because she still thought that the fourth prince played for the other team…so she thought that he was just using this as a chance to get closer to Lin Fan.
She was fine with him having other women, but her own little brother…she didn't want to see that happen.
The rest of the time spent with the fourth prince wasn't easy either since he kept playing all kinds of tricks on them.
This was his way of making up for the fact that he wasn't able to grow up with his big sister. So he wanted to act like a child with her and Lin Fan who he considered his brother in law.
But since they were mistaken about the fourth prince's…preference, they thought that this was his way of showing his affection which led to even more misunderstandings.
By the time that the fourth prince left, both Lin Fan and Mu Bao Bao let out exhausted sighs.
But at the same time, both of them didn't seem to mind this.
It was as if they had suddenly gained a new little brother, even if they thought that his preferences were a bit skewed.
However, there really wasn't anything for them to do during this time.
Three days passed for them and they were just left on their own.
Since they had nothing to do, they explored the town that they were staying in while waiting for a response from Emperor Mu. It was just that this town was a very normal town and there was nothing special about it.
So they had finished exploring it in just a single day and they were left bored in the residence the rest of the time.
On the fourth day, the fourth prince finally came to them and said, "Shall we head back then?"
When they heard this, they couldn't help revealing confused and surprised looks.
The fourth prince saw this and said, "Didn't you know that royal father left on the first day? I saw that you were having fun, so I had been waiting to suggest that we head back the entire time."
When they heard this, both of them looked like they wanted to strangle the fourth prince.
After all, they had thought that Emperor Mu would still contact them for something during this time.
Emperor Mu had said that they needed to work together to take care of the other princes, but he had never told them any of the specifics which had made them think that he was waiting to speak to them again.
But it turned out that he just thought that it wasn't the time for that yet and he had left this place.
They had their own city to take care of, so staying here wasn't a good thing for them.
The sooner they went back to the city, the sooner that they would be able to get back to their jobs.
But the fourth prince had thought that they were having fun and had wasted two, no three days counting today delaying this news. So it was hard for them not to feel like wanting to strangle the fourth prince.
With a sigh, Lin Fan said, "Let's go then."
The fourth prince gave a nod before saying, "I've already prepared carriages for everyone that you'll be bringing with you, so you can use those."
When they heard this, they looked at the fourth prince with a grateful look.
They had actually forgotten about the aides and tutors that Emperor Mu had left Mu Bao Bao, so there wouldn't have been any carriages for them. If the fourth prince didn't prepare this, they would have had to stay for another day looking for carriages for them.
It seemed that at the very least, he was capable of some things.
So without wasting any time, they headed back to Dungeon City.
The maids of the residence didn't come with them since they were left here to maintain the residence, even though it was very unlikely that Mu Bao Bao would ever use this place again.
Still, they were being paid by Emperor Mu and he had also left a lot of money to maintain the residence, so they just couldn't sell it.
In the end, they decided to leave it here…most likely to forget about this place.
