Fortunately, the benefits have also caught up.

"By the way, a large compound has been built in Nanshi. When we move in, we'll be provided with guards and a nanny, so you won't have to work so hard. We can also apply for a special train; it's very fast, non-stop, and goes directly to Yanjing, making it convenient to travel back and forth," Huo Zhekun said, hoping these conveniences would make his wife feel more at ease.

"That's great," Jiang Lifang said with a smile. "Then I can enjoy it too."

"I just hope you're doing well, that we can support and care for each other, and grow old together," Huo Zhekun said, holding his wife's hand.

"Okay!" Jiang Lifang smiled. They had made it a promise of a lifetime of being one person and one love.

Huo Zhekun is unlike those men who act recklessly just because they hold a high position of power.

For her, for her family, for their children, for their love of her, and for their support of her work, that's enough.

For a woman, these are enough in a lifetime.

Huo Zhekun and Jiang Lifang were about to leave when Bai Qiongyu returned with He Jingyu, Wang Shuping, and He Doudou.

They decided to stay for two more days to spend time with their in-laws.

"Shuping, the environment outside really does make you look younger. I think you look even younger than before!" Jiang Lifang looked at Wang Shuping with envy. She was two years older than Wang Shuping, but she looked several years older.

Wang Shuping smiled and said, "It's not the local water and soil. It seems there are many beauty salons there. My mother-in-law and I went there a few times and it was quite nice. I don't usually go to work; I just stay at home taking care of the children and tending to the greenhouse at home."

"Oh my, you're so lucky," Jiang Lifang said, full of envy.

“If you want a more relaxed life, that’s fine too, but you just love being a doctor,” Wang Shuping said with a smile. “And it’s very responsible, so it’s bound to be tiring. You’ll have to be careful in the future.”

“Yes, I will.” Jiang Lifang smiled. “I’m about to retire, and even if I’m rehired, it will be more relaxed than it is now. But you’re right, I love being a doctor, and I can’t stand being idle.”

"Two years have passed in the blink of an eye," Jiang Lifang said. "Every time I see the letters and photos you wrote to me, I feel so envious. But I guess I'll never have the chance to go out and see the world in my lifetime."

“Hehe, actually the scenery in China is quite nice too,” Wang Shuping said. “It’s just that you don’t have long holidays, so you don’t really know the scenery around you.”

“Yes,” Jiang Lifang said, “especially after getting older, I don’t want to move around anymore.”

Wang Shuping smiled and said, "Yes, once we're back, we don't want to leave, but we can't leave the place behind. Fortunately, Yingjie is a good person, so we can rest assured about Tiantian and the children."

"If anyone should be at ease, it's us," Jiang Lifang said with a smile. "Since Tiantian married into the family, Lao Huo and I haven't had to worry about anything. Tiantian and Yingjie, that young couple, have handled everything perfectly. Now she's pregnant with her third child, and Lao Huo and I are even happier."

“When I received the letter, I was also surprised and found it unbelievable. They had never wanted to have children before, and I thought they didn’t want any more since they already had two,” Wang Shuping said. “I usually read some Chinese newspapers, and they have some information about new policies introduced by various countries. It just so happens that the one-child policy came into effect. Sure enough, it was true. Fortunately, you handled it well, otherwise it would have caused too much trouble.”

"Hehe, now that we're pregnant, we have to protect it no matter what," Jiang Lifang said. "I heard that Yingjie and Tiantian actually ran to a Taoist temple to hide at first, which was hilarious. Luckily, my sister-in-law stepped in and took care of things. Now that I think about it, I'm a bad mother-in-law. If I were with Tiantian, I wouldn't have had to trouble my sister-in-law."

Wang Shuping understood Jiang Lifang, so she didn't think Jiang Lifang was wrong. She couldn't just abandon her husband and leave Huo Zhekun alone in Nanshi.

Huo Zhekun is good-looking, maintains his physique well, and is now mature, steady, and has an extraordinary demeanor. It would be quite unpleasant if he were to have some romantic escapades.

“Hehe, Aunt Wang is by Tian Tian’s side now. She has bodyguards, a nanny, and someone to do housework. Tian Tian doesn’t have to do anything herself,” Wang Shuping said. “You just need to take good care of Brother Huo. Especially now that Brother Huo is in a high position and has great power, it wouldn’t be good if he developed a romantic interest one day.”

"Haha," Jiang Lifang laughed, "Yes, I have to keep a close eye on him. Your Jingyu is the same. Look at him in his suit and tie, so handsome and dashing. Standing next to Yingjie, he doesn't seem old at all."

Wang Shuping covered her mouth and laughed, "You know what, some of those big-breasted foreign women really did try to seduce Jingyu. Luckily, my mother-in-law was there, so those women didn't succeed."

"Oh my god, Jingyu didn't dodge?" Jiang Lifang exclaimed in surprise. "Aren't you angry?"

“He tried to dodge, but he couldn’t escape,” Wang Shuping said with a smile. “He was drunk and ended up running out in a daze with his pants down. Luckily, my mother-in-law’s bodyguard saw him and saved him. After that, all of Jingyu’s secretaries and assistants were replaced by men.”

"Haha!" Jiang Lifang laughed, "It's fortunate that Jingyu is upright. If it were those who lack self-control, they would have already gone astray."

“Yes,” Wang Shuping said. “It’s fortunate we have children. Dou Dou is learning about foreign things now, but Jingyu doesn’t want his son to be ignorant of Chinese culture, so besides being busy with work, he also has to teach the child, leaving him with no free time.”

"That's good," Jiang Lifang said with a smile. "We can't let him be too idle. He needs to keep busy so nothing bad happens. By the way, how long are you staying in China this time?"

"I estimate about three weeks," Wang Shuping said. "After all, it's been two years since I've been back, so I can't just stay a few days and then go back. I miss Tiantian, Ruihua, and Ruimin, and I also want to stay longer. It's just a pity that you're leaving tomorrow."

“We’ve been here for two weeks now,” Jiang Lifang said. “It’s not a holiday, and we still have work to do back home. Luckily, we have so many people at home, and they’re all reliable, so I can leave with peace of mind. Since you’ve come all the way to Beijing, let Yingjie show you around the city.”

"Yes, I will," Wang Shuping said with a smile, continuing to chat with Jiang Lifang about the funny things she encountered abroad.

Huo Zhekun, He Jingyu, and Huo Yingjie were also chatting over there. However, He Jingyu mostly talked about the situation abroad and future development directions, while Huo Zhekun talked about the situation in China, as well as the investment environment and investment projects.

Huo Yingjie could also chime in with his opinions and offer his own insights, which always gave He Jingyu and Huo Zhekun a fresh perspective and provided them with some inspiration and help.

At the same time, as a junior, Huo Yingjie also served tea and water and personally entertained his father and father-in-law.
