Huo Junyu was somewhat surprised.
Looking back, it seems Qin Yu had been out of contact for three or four months; it turns out he was searching for someone.
Do you know who you're looking for?
"What, are you interested, brother?" Huo Junyang chuckled.
"I have no interest in that!" Huo Junyu straightened up, looking very serious.
"So you just want to gossip?" Huo Junyang looked at him. "I didn't expect you to like gossip too!"
Huo Junyu raised his hand to hit him, but he was quick-witted and stuffed the bear head mask into his arms.
"You, go pretend to be a bear!" Huo Junyang said confidently. "Pretend to be a bear to coax your daughter, and I'll gossip about it with you!"
Huo Junyu rolled his eyes several times, but finally obediently put on the headgear and clothes, ran up to Xiao Yuanyuan, raised his "paws" and roared.

After returning home, Huo Junyu told Jiang Mianmian about the matter.
"What? They're looking for... an illegitimate daughter?" Jiang Mianmian was utterly astonished.
“Yes.” Huo Junyu took off his suit jacket, rubbed his neck, and leaned back on the sofa. “I heard from Yangyang that she is the illegitimate daughter of the Qin family, that is, Qin Yu’s half-sister.”
"Qin Yu actually has a younger sister!"
"Yes, I was also shocked when I heard it, but it's absolutely true. It's no secret in the Qin family that Old Master Qin has an illegitimate child, but for so many years, the Qin family has always said it was a son, when it was actually a daughter."
Jiang Mianmian frowned. "What's the use of finding this daughter? The Qin family is now under Qin Yu's control, and the situation is very stable. Isn't Qin Yu just asking for trouble by looking for someone now?"
Huo Junyu shrugged, agreeing with the statement.
After finding that illegitimate daughter, are we going to give her a share of the family property?
"But I heard from Niannian that... Qin Yu is on vacation abroad with his wife and children!"
"Um?"
Jiang Mianmian continued, "Niannian has been helping to manage the charity school project during this time, and hasn't seen Qin Yu for a long time. Qin Yu only called her once, saying that he wanted to make up for neglecting his wife and daughter in the past and take them abroad for a while."
Huo Junyu's eyes darkened slightly. This was indeed strange. It seemed that Qin Yu really did have some secret, and his purpose in looking for someone was not so simple.
"Honey, didn't you go to Mom and Dad's today? Yuan Yuan still won't come back with you?"
"Don't even mention it..." Huo Junyu really didn't want to describe his embarrassing moment of dressing up as Xiong Da to Jiang Mianmian again. After a moment of silence, he simply said, "This little girl is definitely spoiled by her parents!"
"Sigh, my parents are the same." Jiang Mianmian changed into her pajamas, sat on the bed, propped one leg up, rested her chin on her knee, and murmured, "As soon as they see their precious granddaughter, they forget about me, their daughter..."
Huo Junyu leaned over and hugged her.
Both of them were people who had fallen on hard times, both of them "abandoned" by their parents.
"The moment Yuan Yuan was born, our status in the family plummeted!"
"Um."
"Don't you think we should think of a way to share her affections?"
"Fool!" Jiang Mianmian was both amused and exasperated. "That's your own daughter, how can you be so partial to her?"
"Honey, I have a suggestion!"
"What?"
Huo Junyu gazed intently at her. Although she was now a mother, Jiang Mianmian had become even more alluring than before. The faint fragrance emanating from her body kept wafting into his nose, making him restless and distracted.
The man's large hands began to wander restlessly over her waist.
"Wife," he chuckled in a deep voice, "how about... we create another alt account? To share the pampering!"
"ah?"
Before Jiang Mianmian could react, Huo Junyu pinned her to the bed, pulled the covers over her head, and began practicing his trumpet...

Huo Jingnan bought groceries and came to Pei Nian's house early in the morning.
It was finally a weekend, and Pei Nian was sleeping in late, not getting out of bed yet. Huo Jingnan stood at the bedroom door and saw the sunlight shining through the window onto her. The fine downy hairs on the tip of her nose looked like they were edged with gold, and her well-defined lips parted slightly, as if she were talking in her sleep.
Huo Jingnan smiled, put the vegetables in the kitchen, walked over and gently kissed her forehead.
Pei Nian slowly opened her eyes and snuggled into his arms like a kitten.
"Why are you here so early?"
"Isn't Ding Cheng coming over for lunch? I'll buy the ingredients early."
"What?" Pei Nian laughed, "Are you planning to show him your skills?"
"Of course! He needs to know how powerful his brother-in-law is!"
Pei Nian smiled, her eyes sparkling with happiness.
The gloomy days are finally over, just like the sunshine outside right now; today is a new day.
The warm, soft body in his arms made Huo Jingnan lose control. He held her tightly, his hands starting to wander, but he didn't dare to be too blatant, only swaying them up and down around her waist.
This tickled Pei Nian so much that she laughed and pushed him away, her face involuntarily turning red.
"Niannian," Huo Jingnan leaned closer, "How about... I stay here from now on?"
"ah?"
"I'm not trying to take advantage of you," Huo Jingnan said seriously. "I just think you're not very good at taking care of yourself, so it would be easier for me to take care of you if I lived with you. Besides, Ding Cheng comes over for meals from time to time, so I can cook for you guys!"
The excuse was so clumsy that Pei Nian blushed and laughed.
“Speaking of Ding Cheng…” Huo Jingnan said softly, “This little guy folded a lot of paper cranes, wanting to give them to Nuannuan.”
“Qin Yu sent me a message a couple of days ago,” Pei Nian stretched, “saying that he won’t be back for a while.”
"That doesn't make sense." Huo Jingnan frowned. "Jun Yu and Jun Yang both told me that Qin Yu didn't take his wife and children out at all. He's been staying in Yangcheng, as if he's looking for someone!"
Pei Nian opened her eyes wide, and after a long while, she couldn't react and was very puzzled.
"Looking for someone? Even if you were looking for someone, you wouldn't hide it from us and avoid us! There's no need to lie and say you were out having fun!"
"That's the strange thing." Huo Jingnan couldn't figure out the reason either, and could only sigh softly, "Perhaps... he has some difficulties?"
Just then, the doorbell suddenly rang, one after another, very urgently.
Huo Jingnan hurriedly went to open the door, where Ding Cheng, panting heavily, stood.
"Why are you here? You said you were coming at noon..."
Ding Cheng didn't answer him, and suddenly ran inside.
Seeing his flustered state, Pei Nian worried that something had happened to him. "Ding Cheng, what's wrong?"
"I..." Ding Cheng gasped for breath, "I saw Nuan Nuan!"
Huo Jingnan and Pei Nian were both taken aback.
“It really is… Nuan Nuan!” Ding Cheng’s clear eyes were filled with sorrow. “She… she’s in the hospital room, her hair is very short, and her whole face is pale!”
Huo Jingnan realized something was wrong and grabbed his shoulder, "How did you know? Have you seen her?"
“Yes.” Ding Cheng nodded vigorously. “I saw her…at the hospital!”
