Hua Nuan couldn’t help but marvel at the strong genes.

The four members of the Gu Family, are all blessed with good looks.

Little Cubao still hasn’t changed his ways. After being held in Hua Nuan’s arms, he excitedly nestles deeper into her embrace, gleefully stealing cuddles, making Huo Zun’s face turn slightly dark.

More often than not, Qin Jin is quietly reading nearby.

Out of the corner of her eye, Hua Nuan sees the book in the young man’s hands; it’s a French version of Les Misérables, entirely in French, with an English translation, but no Chinese.

A wise young man indeed.

Full of knowledge.

Hua Nuan’s beautiful eyes briefly flash with admiration.

Just recently, Jian Ran mentioned that the young man went for special forces training.

Both scholarly and skilled in martial arts.

No wonder Tang Bao likes his brother Qin Jin so much.

...

That night, Tang Bao clamored to sleep with brother Qin Jin.

But Qin Jin was urgently summoned back due to a sudden matter with the Qin Family, leaving the little girl deeply saddened.

The military granted Qin Jin a so-called one-month leave.

In reality, he could probably use only about a week of it.

The last day of leave was reserved for Gu Mochen and Jian Ran’s wedding.

Alone in her room, Tang Bao puckered her lips, secretly counting the days on her drawing paper.

Calculating when brother Qin Jin has to leave.

As she wrote, Tang Bao started to get confused.

Alas, poor math skills and counting are indeed major weaknesses.

...

Hua Nuan and Huo Zun left the Gu Family together, still able to feel the warmth and joy of the big family.

Hua Nuan glanced at Huo Zun driving, with a smile on her lips.

Gu Mochen, such a cold and reserved man, when facing Jian Ran and the children, his smile was so doting, it seemed to drip with sweetness. She couldn’t wait to see Huo Zun’s future demeanor.

Would he also be a doting father?

"If you’re tired, you can take a nap. When we get back, I’ll carry you upstairs."

After a day of flying, along with the jet lag, fatigue was unavoidable.

Listening to Huo Zun’s caring words, Hua Nuan waved her hand and said, "No need, I’ll stay with you."

She just read the latest news of Isabella announcing Huo Si taking over Huo Zun’s business in Europe. The Huo Family’s stocks, initially depressed, immediately rose sharply.

Hua Nuan felt a fire in her heart... 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

But knowing Huo Zun’s heart was probably more troubled.

"Alright."

Huo Zun looked at the woman quietly nestling beside him, her small hand resting on his large one, his thin lips curving into a smile.

Finally driving back to the villa, the once black exterior walls had slowly been replaced by white ones, and the decor had become colorful.

Filled with a bright and sunny ambiance.

Hua Nuan’s eyes lit up, the fact that Huo Zun could do this was enough to show the man was gradually emerging from the shadow of Yang Ruo’s suicide.

"Huo Zun, I want to intern at the lab tomorrow."

"Hmm."

Huo Zun’s thin lips pressed together, responding with a sound, then narrowing his blue eyes.

"I contacted Yuncheng University’s research lab for you. I invested in the medical department there, and all the equipment is top-notch from around the world. You’ll like it."

"Mu Wan and Jian Ran are also at this university, you three can look after each other."

A man’s thoughtfulness is all one could ask for.

Hua Nuan felt deeply touched, excitedly giving Huo Zun a peck on the cheek.

"Alright."

Huo Zun watched as the little lady beamed brightly, with a smile on his lips.

"Meow."

It had been many days since Xiaobai saw Huo Zun and Hua Nuan, upon hearing their movements, it excitedly dashed out, flinging itself directly into Hua Nuan’s arms.

Hua Nuan immediately let go of Huo Zun, hugging Xiaobai excitedly.

"Xiaobai, I missed you so much."

Hua Nuan leaned in and gave Xiaobai a big peck on the cheek and forehead.

Huo Zun: "..."

Huo Zun’s face changed slightly.

Seems... there’s no distinct difference in treatment.

Xiaobai snuggled closer in Hua Nuan’s arms, meowing several times at Huo Zun, but Huo Zun simply ignored it.

Hua Nuan chuckled softly, holding Xiaobai, following Huo Zun’s footsteps to the bedroom.

The servants had already prepared the bedroom ahead of time. Hua Nuan went to wash up, while Huo Zun headed straight to the study.

She knew from early on about the man’s busy schedule.

...

After her bath, Hua Nuan fell asleep in a daze. In the middle of the night, she was pulled into the strong arms of the man by the back of his hand.

With her red lips mumbling, Hua Nuan slept more sweetly in the man’s arms.

Huo Zun watched as Hua Nuan snuggled against him like a kitten, his thin lips curved upwards.

Starting over meant nothing to him.

The point was, as long as the little lady stayed by his side it was enough.
