Gu Keke laughed like a child.
This caused Fan Shenglun and Huo Xiao to be in the living room, watching Jiao Jiao and Ke Ke playing with the children.
Huo Xiao patted Gu Keke, who was sitting on the ground, and took out a square gift box from his pocket.
"I don't have any girls at home, so this beautiful bracelet would be perfect for Coco!"
When Gu Keke opened it, Fan Shenglun looked shocked.
"Old Huo, isn't this too expensive!"
This type of jadeite bangle with excellent translucency has appeared at auctions and fetched a price of up to 400 million.
If he hadn't been short of money back then, Fan Shenglun would have wanted to make one too, to keep for Junjun.
Fan Huijun and her father exchanged a glance and immediately understood the meaning of the word "precious".
Who would be willing to spend such a high price if it weren't for giving it to their closest loved ones?
Huo Xiao bypassed the Fan family and gave the gift directly to Gu Keke, making his attitude very clear: it was for Lu Yi, not for the Fan family's sake.
"Coco, quickly thank Uncle Huo!"
Seeing that the little girl's mind was on the lifelike figurines, Fan Huijun quickly reminded her.
Gu Keke stepped forward, hugged Huo Xiao's neck, and kissed him on his aged cheek.
"Thank you, Uncle Huo, I really like it!"
Huo Xiao laughed so hard he couldn't open his eyes.
"Okay, I'm glad you like it. I missed your engagement, so this is a gift to make up for it!"
Fan Huijun said gratefully, "Uncle Huo, your health is the most important thing. We'd like to find some time to visit you in Fengcheng together!"
Huo Xiao fumbled around and took out two more gift boxes from his side.
"Jun Jun, when I met your dad, you weren't even as tall as Coco yet, and now you're all married!"
"These two little gifts aren't as expensive as Coco's, but they are trinkets that I specially asked someone to bring back from an overseas auction. You and Huaibei, please don't mind them!"
Fan Huijun went up and hugged him.
Her eyes were a little moist.
When I met Huo Xiao earlier, he was even cooler and more stylish than Huo Jingxi.
In the blink of an eye, the once high-spirited business tycoon has been sculpted by time into a frail and elderly man.
Compared to his father, he looked much older.
"Alright, alright, you young people can play by yourselves. I'm going to the study with Old Huo!"
Du Guanglong handed the wheelchair to Fan Shenglun, and after watching the two leave, he took out a tin frog with a mechanical spring from his pocket.
"I don't have anything particularly special to offer, just something to keep the kids entertained!"
Fan Huijun accepted it with both hands.
"Thank you, Brother Du. I'm so grateful for your care when I was in Fengcheng. Please come visit us often in the future."
Du Guanglong nodded, then noticed Lu Yi and Huo Jingxi had gone to the backyard, and made up an excuse.
"I'm going outside for a smoke!"
Fan Huijun knew that her father's solemn call for her back was not so simple.
Not seeing Gu Huaibei, she quickly asked the nanny to take care of the child, put on her coat, and went out.
Under the eaves, Gu Huaibei was making a quiet phone call, his brows furrowed, which made Fan Huijun's heart sink.
"Okay, I got it!"
Noticing someone approaching, Gu Huaibei hurriedly hung up the phone.
Seeing that it was Fan Huijun, he reached out to straighten her clothes. "Why are you out here? Where are Dad and the others?"
Fan Huijun's voice was indifferent, "You went to the study. What trouble did you run into?"
Gu Huaibei shook his head.
"It's nothing, just work-related stuff. Talking to you would only make you worry. Go inside!"
Fan Huijun stood still.
Gu Huaibei walked to the door, then turned back.
"What's wrong?"
Fan Huijun's expression darkened, and she sighed, "You need to take care of the child, and I've done that. I've even stopped interfering with the work at Fan's Group. But what about you? You promised to tell me everything, but now..."
Gu Yan was very satisfied with her as his daughter-in-law, and she was in charge of all the affairs of the Gu family.
But married life wasn't as easy as I'd imagined.
Although she doesn't actually need to do anything, people from all walks of life want to get her opinion.
She didn't want to be seen as neglecting her family, but reality was suffocating her.
Not only are there fewer and fewer opportunities to go out, but every time I dress up carefully, it's to attend a social gathering within my circle.
In the stillness of the night, looking at the half-empty bed, she suddenly missed the days before her marriage.
She had just seen Huo Jingxi and Lu Yi exchanging glances, and Huo Jingxi didn't even bother to exchange pleasantries with Gu Huaibei. She guessed that there must be a problem with the company's project.
Just a few days ago, one of the middle-level leaders at Fan's company privately informed her.
It is said that Lu Yi's decisions within the company have been met with considerable skepticism.
Despite the booming real estate market, he showed particular interest in tiny drone companies.
Some even sent Fan Huijun videos of the meeting. While the majority of those supporting Lu Yi did not, there were several veteran figures among the opposition.
Even if Fan Shenglun hadn't asked Uncle Hua to call her today, she still wanted to find an opportunity to meet with her father and subtly ask him for clarification.
Gu Huaibei pulled her into his arms.
“Jun Jun, it’s not that I don’t want to tell you, but those things are too complicated to explain clearly in a short time.”
Smelling the familiar scent of cold water on him, a thought flashed through Fan Huijun's mind.
They couldn't even remember the last time they were intimate.
When a baby reaches the age where they recognize people, they wake up in the middle of the night and no one can soothe them. Sometimes, just as the two of them are getting into a cozy state, they are interrupted by the crying coming from the nursery.
"Then at least tell me about Yi'er's situation. You were there at the time, so why didn't you mention it at all afterward?"
Fan Huijun pressed her face against his burning chest and expressed her displeasure.
