“Darling, you must have other reasons to be happy.”
Yan Jinyi responded with feigned innocence, “What might you be referring to, Mr. Huo?”
Huo Xishen suddenly rose from his seat, causing a ripple of unease among the others present.
Yan Jinyi, surprisingly calm, watched him approach. She even playfully puffed her cheeks and asked, “What? Are you planning to punish me for sharing hotpot with Bai Moliang?”
Huo Xishen extended his hand, and Yan Jinyi instinctively took a step back.
!!
Huo Zihang, Huo Qingyuan, and Assistant Wen braced themselves, expecting him to strike her. Instead, he gently rested his hand on her head and ruffled her hair.
“Now that your wish has been granted, do you have a moment to assist in selecting a crib?”
Yan Jinyi blinked, her eyes wide with confusion.
“Grandfather intends to convert a guest room on the second floor into a nursery for our child.”
‘A nursery!’
Tan Sangsang, though accustomed to a frugal lifestyle, had always spared no expense for Mumu. She had even meticulously prepared a dedicated nursery, a luxury Yan Jinyi had once envied.
“Who will bear the cost?”
“Certainly not you.”
Yan Jinyi felt a wave of relief, and Huo Xishen managed to win her over with his words.
The expansive study fell into a profound silence.
“Third Young Master, Miss, if there is nothing else, I shall take my leave,” Assistant Wen stated.
Huo Zihang looked on with a touch of envy, also desiring to furnish a nursery for his own son.
“Ah, this is utterly unfair. I wish for a boyfriend too!”
Huo Qingyuan playfully smacked her own cheeks, lamenting her solitary status. Even Mumu had developed a crush.
Huo Zihang quickly retreated to his room to retrieve his keys.

Tan Sangsang had just succeeded in lulling Mumu to sleep. Her publishing house was contemplating the launch of a social media platform dedicated to relationship advice, with a proposal for her to lead the initiative.
Her days were now consumed by information gathering and scheduling appointments.
It was, after all, a reputable publishing house, attracting numerous manuscript submissions. Yet, very few stories managed to resonate with her on a deeper level.
If the stories failed to move her, how could they possibly captivate the readers?
“Sangsang, you’re being far too rigid. You could easily craft a suitable fictional narrative; there aren’t always abundant genuine accounts,” Mrs. Tan reasoned.
A primary reason Tan Sangsang declined most submissions was their inherent lack of authenticity.
“We seek authentic stories. We are perfectly capable of fabricating tales ourselves if needed,” Tan Sangsang insisted.
Observing Tan Sangsang engrossed in her work, Mrs. Tan could only offer a melancholic sigh.
Abruptly, a series of knocks echoed from the door.
“Please, continue assisting me and answer the door,” Tan Sangsang requested nonchalantly, adjusting her glasses. However, the process seemed to be taking an unusually long time.
Just as she was contemplating rising to investigate, she witnessed Mrs. Tan ushering Huo Zihang inside.
“Third Young Master Huo, to what do we owe the pleasure of this visit?”
“I’ve come to see my wife and son, and also to bring some nourishing tonic for Mother,” Huo Zihang declared with unblinking honesty.
“Who exactly do you consider your mother? Choose your words carefully,” Tan Sangsang cautioned.
Disregarding Tan Sangsang’s remark, Huo Zihang placed the tonic on the table. “Mother, please consume this tonic; it is beneficial for your health. Where is Mumu?”
Mrs. Tan held a favorable opinion of Huo Zihang, impressed by his eloquent speech and kind intentions. He demonstrated a clear determination to win over Tan Sangsang, despite her apparent indifference.
“He has just fallen asleep. Would you like me to wake him?”
“No need, let him rest. It’s been a demanding day, and I was hoping to stay the night. May I…”
Tan Sangsang immediately interjected, “Absolutely not. There is no available room here. If you cannot stay at home, a hotel would be your alternative.”
“I inadvertently left my wallet at home in my haste to depart. Sangsang, can you truly be so heartless towards me?” Huo Zihang lamented, his tone full of grievance. Tan Sangsang massaged her temples and inquired, “Have you perhaps forgotten the convenience of mobile payment systems?”
“Why squander funds on a hotel room when he can simply stay here? Zihang, you may occupy Sangsang’s room, and Sangsang can share mine tonight,” Mrs. Tan intervened, offering a solution.
