With the barrier in place, Granny Ma's cave entrance vanished, turning into an ordinary mountain covered with shrubs, grass, and wildflowers.

Huo Yingjie left the area and searched the surrounding area, but he couldn't find any trace of Xu Weiwei and had to return empty-handed.

Huo Yingjie felt bitter; after all, nothing could be perfect.

Is this the way of Heaven?

However, this is also good, as it will keep Huo Yingjie on high alert and constantly vigilant against external dangers.

Huo Yingjie returned from the southwestern border, and this matter has temporarily come to a close.

He Tiantian returned to Yanjing and spent the next few days happily distributing gifts, visiting relatives and friends.

Late at night, Huo Yingjie returned home and saw his clone Huo Yingjie reading a book.

Huo Yingjie walked directly into the clone's body and automatically acquired the memories of that period.

The work proceeded as planned and was not affected; as for Yanjing, there were no major developments.

Everything was so peaceful!

After He Tiantian finished washing up, she entered the room and saw Huo Yingjie taking off his clothes, preparing to take a shower.

Haha, that clone Huo Yingjie never takes off his clothes at night.

"I'm back," He Tiantian said. "Was it alright?"

"Things went fairly smoothly," Huo Yingjie said. "It's just that Xu Weiwei ran away, and Granny Ma died. That Granny Ma..."

Huo Yingjie recounted what had happened to He Tiantian.

He Tiantian was very surprised when she heard this and said, "Oh my god, a sorcerer? Does that mean Xu Weiwei might become a sorcerer in the future?"

“Yes,” Huo Yingjie said, “but don’t worry, you and the child have my blood in you, so you won’t be affected.”

He Tiantian nodded and said, "That's good, thank you for your hard work."

"It's no trouble at all!" Huo Yingjie said. "You are my wife, so of course I have to protect you from the wind and rain."

"Okay, go take a shower," He Tiantian said. "I'll wait for you..."

When she said the last four words, "I'll wait for you," her voice was melodious, her eyes were alluring, and she exuded tenderness.

Huo Yingjie understood the implied meaning and hurriedly went to wash up.

He Tiantian changed into a silk nightgown, which she bought in Hong Kong; the style was very... very alluring...

We're an old married couple, so naturally we need to find some fun.

That's what makes life interesting and fulfilling.

Huo Yingjie took a quick shower and came out of the bathroom wearing only pajama bottoms.

He walked along, drying his hair with a towel, then reached the bed, threw the towel aside, and pounced on the alluring woman, doing as he pleased...

Absence makes the heart grow fonder, and one night of pleasure is all it takes.

The men were strong and muscular, the women were all charming and alluring, and they were at the age when they were most vigorous and unrestrained at night!

When Huo Yingjie woke up in the morning, he felt refreshed. When he went to the bathroom to wash up, he saw his hair sticking up in the mirror in a very seductive way, which showed how crazy he had been the night before.

He whistled while taking a shower.

As for his wife in bed, she must be tired from the night; let her continue sleeping.

At breakfast, the three children saw their father but not their mother; they were already used to this scene.

"Dad, are you and Mom going to the parent-teacher conference tomorrow?" Huo Ruimin asked. At the previous parent-teacher conferences, his parents were busy, so Aunt Xiaoyan went instead. Many people asked Aunt Xiaoyan for autographs back then, and afterwards, many children really liked playing with her.

Mom is such a good swimmer, she should be even more popular, and her friends will like her even more.

Huo Ruimin was somewhat smug.

Huo Yingjie put down his chopsticks, wiped his mouth, and said, "Mom and Dad will go."

He already felt guilty for not going before, and he will go every time from now on.

"That's great!" Huo Ruimin said with a smile. "I love Dad the most."

Since Huo Ruimin and Huo Ruihua are in the same class, they don't need to be separated anymore; the couple can go directly to their eldest daughter's and eldest son's parent-teacher conferences.

Thinking about my eldest daughter, my eldest son has a parent-teacher conference, but what about my youngest son's?

"Ruifeng, when is your parent-teacher conference?" Huo Yingjie asked, not wanting to only care about the older children and ignore the younger ones.

Huo Ruifeng's eyes flickered slightly. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Dad, our teacher said there won't be a parent-teacher conference. It will be held at the end of the semester."

Huo Ruihua and Huo Ruimin chuckled to themselves, but didn't expose their brother's lie, knowing that their parents would find out anyway.

It must be because of poor grades, or because he misbehaved at school again, and he doesn't want his parents to come so that the teacher won't complain.

Huo Yingjie was taken aback, looked at Huo Ruifeng seriously, and said, "Really?"

Huo Ruifeng, being a reckless fool, stubbornly insisted, "Yes!"

My brother said that those who confess will be treated leniently, while those who resist will be imprisoned for life; at most, they will be sentenced to six months in prison.

Since you've lied, then grit your teeth and refuse to admit it!

Huo Yingjie didn't continue talking. Instead, he ate his meal, sent his three children to school, and then went to work.

To avoid any unforeseen circumstances, the research institute's progress has been somewhat slow recently, but it is still within the stipulated timeframe.

Since Huo Yingjie has come in person, we naturally need to speed things up and not waste any time.

The national team's need for technology is now more urgent than ever before, and will become even more urgent in the future.

Countless people are making silent contributions to the rejuvenation of China.

Huo Yingjie believes he has the ability, so he should put in more effort.

Upon arriving at the research institute, it was another busy morning, and everyone felt that the boss was more eager than before.

The research institute offers good pay and benefits, and I'm willing to work hard alongside my boss.

At noon, Zhou Yuanchao and Huo Yingjie were eating in the cafeteria.

“Boss, our houses are all built, and everyone’s been itching to move in lately. Now that it’s weekends or after get off work, the place we like to go to most is our new staff and family compound,” Zhou Yuanchao said. “Since everything’s already set up, let’s move in as soon as possible. We can renovate and move into our new homes around the New Year.”

Housing is extremely tight now. Some families with several members live in a room of 30 or 40 square meters. It is inconvenient for adults to do anything, and they live a very cramped life.

Upon hearing this, Huo Yingjie laughed and said, "Okay, the houses that have already been allocated according to seniority, achievements, and family circumstances will be handed out over this weekend so that they can move in as soon as possible."

Huo Yingjie didn't have those empty ideas, but Zhou Yuanchou did!

“Boss, this won’t do. Getting a big house is such an exciting moment. How can you just give the keys to the family members directly?” Zhou Yuanchao said. “We must hold a staff meeting and you personally distribute the keys to everyone.”

"Isn't it a bit too much trouble?" Huo Yingjie hesitated. It's just a house, isn't it?

Seeing his boss's expression of being oblivious to the cost of daily necessities, Zhou Yuanchao shook his head and said, "Boss, you don't know how good our house is. When we first established this research institute, many people were not optimistic about it. Most of those who came voluntarily were dissatisfied with their previous jobs. Now, through their efforts, our research institute has made such great progress and development. Of course, most of that is thanks to you, Boss."
