After several train changes along the way, we finally arrived in Yanjing.

Xie Wu and Zhang Ning had received the news and came out from the team early to meet Huo Yingjie.

Since Huo Yingjie’s unit was of a very high rank, Xie Wu and Zhang Ning were not qualified to follow, so they had to remain on standby at the institute.

When they received Huo Yingjie’s call, they were somewhat surprised, but more so, they were happy.

However, Huo Yingjie instructed them not to tell his family, to wait until he got home, to avoid worrying them.

Thinking about traveling through so many places, and having spent five or six days to finally return home, Huo Yingjie was very glad he hadn’t told He Tiantian, otherwise, she would have had to wait several more days at home.

"Boss, you’ve finally come back." Xie Wu stepped forward to help Huo Yingjie with his luggage, somewhat excited.

Huo Yingjie smiled and said, "How is everything at home?"

"Everything is fine at home!" Xie Wu said, "The kids are well-behaved, the elderly are healthy, and sister-in-law is preparing for a competition, training intensely every day."

"Good." Huo Yingjie nodded, feeling relieved.

They got into the car, with Zhang Ning driving.

Passing by the commercial area, Huo Yingjie spoke softly, "Zhang Ning, find a place to park, I need to buy some things. When I left, I was supposed to buy gifts for the kids. Having disappeared for so long, it would be awkward if I don’t bring gifts and the kids look at me with eager eyes!"

Also, he needed to prepare a gift for He Tiantian.

"Yes, Boss." Zhang Ning said. The boss has always been this thoughtful and caring towards the children and family. Therefore, he found a place to park and accompanied Huo Yingjie shopping.

Entering the trade center, Huo Yingjie went straight to the women’s clothing store and bought a dress for He Tiantian.

It was summer, and dresses were the most appropriate and good-looking.

This was a light green dress with ruffled edges, fitted and should suit He Tiantian.

Then they headed to the children’s and teenagers’ area.

"Do you guys know how tall the kids are and how much they weigh now?" Huo Yingjie asked. Unlike He Tiantian, whose height and weight were stable—as long as she didn’t binge eat, there wouldn’t be such significant fluctuations, and He Tiantian took care of these things, so Huo Yingjie had a good idea.

However, the children were growing rapidly during their growth spurts, and if he didn’t ask clearly, he was likely to buy the wrong sizes.

Xie Wu and Zhang Ning scratched their heads, thought for a while, then said, "Boss, the children have plenty of clothes at home, so there’s no need to buy more. Didn’t you promise to buy a football for Xiaosan? He’s still grumbling about your football promise. As for Ruihua and Ruimin, they’re older and like some teenage things."

Huo Yingjie listened and fully agreed, nodding, "Right, what you said makes sense, so let’s not buy clothes."

"Also, Boss, you’ve got another daughter now, so you can’t just buy three gifts, you need to buy four." Zhang Ning reminded him as they also knew that He Tiantian had adopted a girl.

Last month, He Tiantian went to the police station and civil affairs department to complete the adoption process; now Huo Xuanxuan was officially He Tiantian and Huo Yingjie’s daughter, with the same rights as a biological child under the law.

"Ah?" Huo Yingjie was startled, "When was she born? How do I not know about this?"

Huo Yingjie thought He Tiantian must have gotten pregnant after he left.

Seeing Huo Yingjie’s misunderstanding, Zhang Ning quickly said, "Boss, it’s not that sister-in-law gave birth, but an adoption. Here’s what happened..."

Hearing this, Huo Yingjie was stunned and then quickly calculated in his mind before he suddenly realized.

So it was Little Rotating Turtle who had transformed, and into a little girl at that—a female!

"Right, I’ll buy an extra gift." Huo Yingjie smiled, eager to see the transformed Little Rotating Turtle, especially now as his daughter, which piqued his curiosity even more.

Thinking about how Little Rotating Turtle had followed him for many years, and had finally transformed, it was indeed a good outcome.

Since Little Rotating Turtle had helped out so much in the past and had now transformed, with He Tiantian adopting her as a daughter, it wasn’t surprising, after all, even Snake King had become her elder cousin.

Huo Yingjie bought four gifts for the children—a harmonica for Huo Ruimin, a jigsaw puzzle for Huo Ruihua, a Barbie doll for Little Rotating Turtle, and a football for Huo Xiaosan.

He had also thought of buying gifts for Grandma Wang, but considering that the house lacked nothing and the elderly lady didn’t care much for those things, he decided not to buy them. Instead, he would look for a piece of jade to warm and benefit her health as a gift.

When Huo Yingjie got back home, only Grandma Wang was there.

Seeing Huo Yingjie return, Grandma Wang was overjoyed and said, "Yingjie, are you hungry? Thirsty? Tired?"

Huo Yingjie smiled and said, "Grandma Wang, I’m not thirsty, hungry, or tired. I had a sleeper berth all the way. How is your health?"

"My health is great," Grandma Wang laughed, "I can still live a few more years!"

"Then please take good care of yourself. I’m going to take a shower and change clothes, then pick up Tiantian from work and the kids from school," Huo Yingjie said cheerfully. He couldn’t wait to see his wife and children.

"Sure, you should do that," Grandma Wang said. "Go ahead, I’ll instruct the house cooks to prepare more dishes so we can properly celebrate tonight."

"Sounds good." Huo Yingjie nodded wholeheartedly.

After showering and changing, Huo Yingjie went to pick up He Tiantian from work, wanting to surprise her.

Grandma Wang had already ordered the cooks to prepare delicious food.

Lu Wanxia, hearing that Huo Yingjie was back, was very happy and immediately promised to prepare a lavish meal.

Old Madam Huo often called Grandma Wang, and Grandma Wang couldn’t help but burst out with the news to Old Madam Huo.

"Instruct the cooks to prepare more; we will all head over later," Old Madam Huo immediately said, as she also hadn’t seen Huo Yingjie for several months and couldn’t wait to see her grandson.

Going on a business trip wasn’t a secret for the grandson, and now that he was back, it was even less of a secret, so Old Madam Huo wasn’t afraid of others hearing.

Upon hearing the news, Old Master Tang was even more envious, saying, "Congratulations."

"Congratulations to us both," Old Master Huo’s smile was so wide his eyes disappeared into it, even his gums were showing.

The Huo family was really on the rise!

And for their grandchildren, it was even more impressive.

Huo Yingjun, still so young, was already the ambassador stationed in Ukraine.

Huo Yingjie, even more outstanding, came from a good background, had high intelligence; otherwise, he couldn’t have become the youngest academician who had succeeded in research and made significant accomplishments.

Old Master Tang’s eyes turned red with envy!
