Huo Shen widened his eyes. He looked at his son, stunned and in disbelief.
"Liang Zou, who runs his business in Paris?" He was still unable to process what Huo Liwei just said.
"Yes. Apparently, the Liang family is back because Liang Zou's son, Liang Shin, is here for a dical case. Since they are back after so long and his birthday is coincidentally falling at the sa ti, Liang Zou is celebrating a banquet."
Huo Shen was quiet. His expression turned grim and serious.
Huo Liwei frowned. He was puzzled.
"Dad, do you know Liang Zou or the Liang family?"
Huo Shen didn't speak for a long ti.
"Yes."
"How? I never heard about him from you."
Huo Shen took a deep breath. "Can you leave alone for a while?"
Huo Liwei was stunned.
Is it that serious?
"Dad"
"It's okay, Liwei. I'm fine."
He reluctantly nodded and left. Huo Shen quietly looked out of the window. It was pleasant weather outside. The branches of the tall trees were gently swaying as the soft wind brushed past them.
It reminded him of the ti when they were in the University together. Xiao Fan, Xiao Dan, Liang Zou, and himself. And then that stormy night.
Xiao FanWhere are you now? How are you? I miss you. Do you know that Liang Zou is back? If you know, then how must you be feeling now? Iwant to be by your side but...
He leaned back and closed his eyes.

Liu villa.
Jinhai was busy in a video conference while Nana was bored, reading a book. Then her phone buzzed. It was iling from Natsukashi.
"iling." Her face brightened.
"Hello, Mam. How are you?"
Nana sighed. "I'm good but really bored."
"Then, mam, I have the perfect opportunity for you to cure your boredom."
Nana was intrigued. "Really!? What? Tell !"
She realized that she spoke a little loudly in eagerness. Jinhai raised her brow and smiled. The associates from the other end of the video call were dumbfounded.
They heard a woman, most probably his wife squealing in excitent. But Jinhai didn't seem to mind it. Their mouths were wide open to see him smiling.
If it was so other person who had interrupted the conference, then God knows what Jinhai would have done.
Nana sheepishly smiled. "Sorry"
Jinhai shook his head. He went back to his conference.
Nana spoke a little quieter now. "What is it, iling?"
iling replied. "Mam, we have got a catering order from a custor. It's the Liang family. There is one birthday banquet, and they want Natsukashi to cater. I told them that the owner that is you are on maternity leave. But they still hope if it's possible. They really want to contract Natsukashi. So I thought to ask you."
Nana was actually quite happy with the offer. She really wanted to do this job. Otherwise, she felt as if she would die of boredom. But she looked at Jinhai and pursed her lips.
Jinhai had strictly prohibited her from doing any work. He would surely not allow taking this contract.
Nana said, "I will have to talk to Jinhai. You know how he is, right?"
iling giggled. "Such a loving and caring husband. Ah, I'm so jealous, Mam! I also want a husband like Mr. Liu Jinhai."
Nana rolled her eyes. "That is not the problem. He won't let work."
"Mam, why don't you use your beauty trap?"
Nana's eyebrow twitched.
"Beauty trap?"
"Yes! Why don't you sweet talk and seduce him? And then strike while the iron is hot! While you would completely smite him, you tell him that you want to do the job. I'm sure that Mr. Liu will not be able to reject you. Just show your cute face and act spoiled. He dotes on you so much. He won't say no."
"ilingJust what kind of ideas cook in your head?" Nana asked dryly.
iling pouted from the other side. "Whaaat? It's the perfect plan. It will not fail; trust . Try it and then call back. Hahaha. I know it would be yes."
"But I don't know how to do that"
""
iling was dumbfounded. "Mam, haven't you ever initiated anything? Like being romantic or flirting or a kiss?"
Nana's face turned red. "iling!" She quietly chided her.
"So, it was always Mr. Liu? That is not right, Mam. You should also step ahead and act boldly. That will give the spice in your marriage."
Nana coughed lightly.
Jinhai jerked his head in her direction and looked concerned.
Nana awkwardly smiled and shook her head.
"Okay. I will try it." Nana was still very doubtful.
She put the phone down. She sneakily glanced at Jinhai. After five minutes, his conference was also done.
Nana thought for about a mont.
How to act cutesy?
Jinhai walked towards her and sat down beside her.
Nana nervously smiled. She wrapped her arm around his and leaned in his embrace. Jinhai blinked his eyes, and curiously looked at his little wife.
She circled her finger around his chest and pouted. "Why were you so busy?" She bit her lower lip and stared at him with her big eyes.
Jinhai raised his eyebrow. "I'm sorry." He pinched her nose. "That was the last thing to do. Now my ti is yours."
Nana sweetly smiled, but internally she was sweating buckets. "En. By the way" Nana was a little shy, "Since you are such a good husband who is working from ho for his wife and take so much care of her, this wife wants to award you for that."
"Ho" Jinhai was amused, "And what is my award, Mada?" He addressed her in French.
"Close your eyes."
Jinhai did as told. Nana was nervous and shy and excited, so in short, a mix of all the emotions.
Nana leaned in and gently kissed his lips. She moved back and giggled, "This is your award."
"Tsk. Tsk. This award is too short, Mada." Jinhai cunningly smiled.
"Eh-" Jinhai pulled her and kissed her hard. "Now, that is what you call an award." He chuckled.
Nana pouted and hit him on the chest.
"So, what do you want?"
Nana coughed hard. "Nothing"
Jinhai smiled. "Are you telling , or should I call the one with whom you were talking just now?"
Nana's confidence deflated like a balloon. "ThatIt was iling."
"Hm."
"HeheShe told that we are offered one catering contract and she-"
"No."
Jinhai's answer was pretty much straightforward.
Nana looked at him as if she was wronged. "But, you didn't even fully listen to !"
"I know what it is about. You want to take on the catering contract and do the job. And my answer is no. I cannot let you take any job and tire yourself out."
Nana's mouth twitched. She looked at him and realized that his gaze ant that it was definitely no.
"Jinhai, please!" She clutched his arm tighter.
"No."
"Please!"
"No."
"Only this one pretty please? I'm really bored sitting all day in the villa. I promise I will take care of myself. You can also co with . This way, you won't be worried."
"No."
As she realized that it was fruitless, Nana's mood turned downcast. Her eyelids drooped in sadness, and she turned her face away in the other direction. "Okay. As you say."
For a few minutes, they stayed like that.
Jinhai was firm and resoluteat first. But he saw her saddened gaze, and his heart lted.
Seriously I'm so hopeless.
He sighed. He held her cheek and made her face him. Nana was still looking down.
"I will be coming with you."
Her gaze brightened and looked up at him.
"But! I will decide how much work you will do."
Nana furiously bobbed her head up and down. The lost smile ca back. "Thank you, Jinhai!" She hugged him. "Whatever you say!"
"By the way, who taught you to seduce ?" Jinhai asked.
"Thatiling said to act cute." She sheepishly smiled.
Jinhai sneered. "Stay away from her."
Nana grinned. "My husband is the best."
"En. Now, give my bribe."
Nana blinked her eyes. "What bribe?"
"You didn't think that I would let you work for free, right? Especially when I really don't want you to do any job."
"But you said that you would co with ."
He laughed. "That is not my paynt. I will be supervising you." His gaze darkened in desire as he aningfully looked at her.
Nana instantly understood. She buried her face in his chest. Truthfully she wanted it too, but
"That is notmy tummy" She spoke in a quiet voice that could barely be heard.
Jinhai stood up. He slowly picked her in his arms and laid her on the bed. He bent his knees between her thighs.
"We can still do it. Not a problem. Don't underestimate your husband." He seductively whispered while unbuttoning his shirt.
He bent down and captured her lips, entwining his fingers with hers.
An hour later, when they were finally done, Jinhai hugged her naked back from behind.
"By the way, who is the custor?"
Nana was a little breathless with lovemaking. "It is so Liang family."
