The next day, the tax departments in Hong Kong, Rong City, and A City made a surprise entry into the companies under their jurisdiction and began checking the accounts.

...

Huo Jinnan received a call, lit a cigarette, took a drag, and called Qin Shaonan, "Hold the stick high to beat the dog, be ready to hit the drowning dog, including Wei De, this ambitious wolf. Knock out a few bloody teeth at once, and I believe he won’t dare to try the same thing a second time."

Qin Shaonan, "I’ve been preparing for this, looking forward to a successful collaboration. Finally, I want just 20% of the shares from those twenty companies, is that too much?"

Huo Jinnan, "That’s acceptable, not too much."

He hung up the phone, took another drag from his cigarette, flicked the ash, and looked at Qin Huan, who was working seriously beside him.

Half an hour later, seeing her frown and stop typing, Huo Jin stood up, walked over, placed his large hand on Qin Huan’s shoulder, "Stuck?"

Qin Huan looked up at Huo Jinnan, "Mm."

"Let’s go for a walk."

Huo Jinnan gently massaged her shoulder blade with his fingers.

Qin Huan stood up, smiled at Huo Jinnan, and closed her laptop.

They both peeked into the bedroom; the little ones, Ye Bai, and the team leader were taking good care of Xiaoliao and Xiaoqi.

These days, Xiaoliao and Xiaoqi had gotten used to it and weren’t so resistant to the bottle anymore.

Qin Huan turned around to look at Huo Jinnan, "Shall we take Xiaoliao and Xiaoqi with us?"

Huo Jinnan frowned, "Let Xiaowei and Ye Bai take them out for a stroll."

As soon as he finished speaking, he took Qin Huan’s hand and left the bedroom.

Xiaoliao turned his head, rolled over, leaned his neck back, and looked in Qin Huan’s direction several times. As her figure faded away, he babbled a long string of words.

Ye Bai found it amusing, looking at Xiaoliao, "Do you want to be my apprentice?"

Xiaoliao ignored Ye Bai and closed his eyes to sleep.

After a while, he opened them again, turned his head, saw the team leader leaning on the crib’s railing, and smiled slightly at him.

The team leader gave a soft "woof."

Xiaoliao reached out, touched the team leader’s paw gently.

The team leader looked at Xiaoliao, his tail held high, wagging back and forth, looking delighted.

...

Outside Nanyuan Villa, Huo Jinnan held Qin Huan, walking down a shaded path, turned his head, saw the sunlight filtering through the leaves and casting dapples on her face. He gently brushed her short hair with one hand, his thin lips covering hers, kissing her.

Seeing Huo Jinbei and Huo Jinxue returning from a walk in the distance, Qin Huan couldn’t speak and signaled with her eyes.

Huo Jinnan stroked her cheek, paused the kiss, looked back, then returned his gaze, "Just let the idlers detour."

Qin Huan, "..."

Huo Jinbei and Huo Jinxue, "..."

The two did indeed detour around them.

Qin Huan’s gaze fell on Huo Jinnan’s face, sensing his good mood today, she closed her eyes, enjoying the moment.

After a while, the phone rang, Huo Jinnan glanced at Qin Huan, his thin lips moved away, one hand caressing the delicate skin around her earlobe, the other hand reached for the phone, seeing the number, his eyes grew deeper as he answered, "All set?"

—"All set."

Hearing the voice on the other end, Huo Jinnan’s voice turned colder, "A rogue can only be dealt with using even more rogue methods, to see whose limits are lower."

Qin Huan listened on the side, who was he planning to deal with like a rogue?

After a moment, Huo Jinnan hung up, looked at Qin Huan, "No worries, just arranging a little surprise for Wei De. I believe he’ll be quite comfortable in the coming days, even more so than I was recently."
