The kids are with my husband. With nothing else to do, Jian Ran leisurely sketches and designs, overall feeling quite relaxed.

Although she really wants to be with Little Cubao, Gu Mochen sees Little Cubao snuggling into her arms, and her attention is entirely on Little Cubao, which inevitably makes him a little jealous.

So Gu Mochen adopts an all-inclusive plan.

All aspects of the wedding a month away are personally handled by Gu Mochen.

Sometimes happiness is clear without needing to be expressed in words.

Hua Nuan looks at the happiness between Jian Ran and Mu Wan, smiling warmly.

"Nuannuan, Xiaowan... Strongly demanding a baby, Gu Jinchen was really lonely as a child. He needs a little brother or sister to play with."

Hua Nuan and Mu Wan exchanged glances, everything understood without words.

It’s really stressful.

"Ranran, you could have another one."

Upon hearing Mu Wan say this, Jian Ran immediately waved her hand.

Too tiring...

Furthermore, Gu Mochen doesn’t want her to take risks again.

Although little ones are cute, sometimes their mischief is even more exhausting.

"Xiaowan, there’s a saying about naughty children, even dogs dislike them at seven or eight years old."

Jian Ran’s words made Mu Wan and Hua Nuan burst into laughter.

Hua Nuan laughed until she shed tears; although Little Cubao was only two months old, he was not easy to handle, needing to be held and comforted often, which was exhausting.

Hua Nuan looked at Jian Ran, blinking her almond eyes, believing she was speaking the truth, unable to resist retorting.

"Ranran, if you know that children are mischievous, why encourage us to have them... It’s really not well-intended."

"I am casting a wide net... You all are Little Cubao’s future in-laws... For the happiness of Little Cubao, we need to forge good relationships early on, and also urge you to quickly bring my future daughter-in-law into the world."

Hua Nuan and Mu Wan exchanged knowing glances, secretly thinking that Gu Jinchen perfectly inherited Gu Mochen.

Seems like he won’t lack for wives in the future.

But the idea of Little Cubao marrying Little Wanzi is purely playful.

Mu Wan secretly thought, since Jian Ran said so, if she successfully has a daughter in the future, she will definitely name her Little Wanzi.

...

After lunch, since Mu Wan had to visit the studio, she was the first to say goodbye to Hua Nuan and Jian Ran.

Hua Nuan did not forget her actual task, proactively suggesting: "Ranran, let’s take a walk by the river. I happen to have some company issues to discuss with you."

"Alright."

...

Strolling by the river, Hua Nuan looked at Jian Ran and said, "Ranran, you must have seen the news about Huo Si and Huo Zun recently."

"Hm,"

Since Hua Nuan mentioned it, it showed she did not see Jian Ran as an outsider.

Jian Ran didn’t deny; if her friend talks, she listens. If not, she chooses to respect her.

"I’m really curious why Huo Zun chose to give up the management rights in Europe."

Seeing Hua Nuan hadn’t spoken yet, Jian Ran confidently said: "Whatever the reason, I believe Huo Zun must have his reasons, there must be some predicament involved."

"Hm."

Hua Nuan then explained the situation between Huo Zun and Isabella briefly.

The father always saw the son as a disgrace.

The grandmother kept urging to repay them... to repay the grace of raising him.

Besides the so-called sentimental tricks, kneeling, and so on.

By letting go of the European market, Huo Zun finally removes a thorn from his heart.

But... it doesn’t mean that what they forcibly took can be swallowed.

After all, to swallow something, one should first check if they have the capability.

...

After hearing Hua Nuan’s brief explanation, Jian Ran largely understood the situation, expressing herself seriously, "I understand now."

It seems that Huo Zun still has feelings for Isabella,

She still remembers that in Cologne City, Huo Zun respected Isabella very much.

Maybe... the father didn’t love him, the mother passed away, leaving only that one relative.

It’s still very important in his heart.

"So, I want to ask you, how can we regain control over the European management from the other side?"

Hua Nuan has a wild nature; if someone’s taken from her, she finds it straightforward to beat the person and take it back right away.

Clear and simple.

Really simple.

But when it comes to company matters, outside her expertise, Hua Nuan looks to Jian Ran besides Huo Zun.

Upon hearing this, Jian Ran squinted her almond eyes, thinking it over, then decisively said.

"Nuannuan, I think there’s no need to take it back..."

"Hm?"

"With Huo Zun’s personality, what’s given away, spilled water, doesn’t have a reason to take back, plus, with Huo Zun now using your name to start a new business, he probably wants to fully escape the shadow of the Huo Family."

Listening to Jian Ran’s precise analysis, Hua Nuan agrees strongly.

"So it’s quite simple, since we don’t plan to take the company back, we simply crush the opposition, kill it, retrieve it later, then restructure and rise anew."

Hua Nuan: "..."

Sometimes women are more decisive than men.

Hua Nuan’s eyes filled again with surprise and admiration.

"Understood."

In business matters, after Han Siming previously tried a power grab, Jian Ran knew some details.

Family wealth appears glossy, yet in reality, the brighter it seems on the surface, the more complex it is behind...

Even dirty.

Jian Ran dismissed the strange feeling, smiled, and looked into the shimmering lake, saying.

"Actually, Nuannuan, through this matter, we see two things clearly: firstly, to Huo Zun... interests... aren’t the most important, secondly, you are what matters most to him, most men don’t dare to casually use their wife’s name to register a company, well, it seems Huo Zun intends to sell himself to you."

Listening to Jian Ran’s teasing, Hua Nuan’s cheeks flushed slightly.

But her heart felt warm.

Indeed... having a company opened by her husband, and being the boss herself, feels great.
