After returning to her room, Evelyn accessed the "Genius Babies' Playground" group on Whatsapp and sent a message to Nathan: "Nathan, you need to communicate more with Lanting. He's too young, and you should keep an eye on his thoughts, making sure he doesn't develop any unsuitable ideas. Your two older brothers seem to spoil him, which isn't good. Mom is counting on you now."Nathan: "Mom!"Evelyn: "What's wrong?"Nathan: "I'll come to you. We should talk face to face."Before Evelyn could process his words, Nathan was already at her door, arms full of books.Evelyn: "??"Nathan placed the stack of books on her vanity: "Mom, I also think Lanting is getting out of hand. Since he's our brother and now living with us, I think it's our responsibility to guide him. Look, here's 'Positive Discipline', 'Thompson’s Collections of Psychological Fairy Tales', and 'The Attachment Trilogy', which discusses how to help parents and children establish a secure and healthy attachment."Evelyn: "Oh,

Evelyn couldn't help but think back to the day when Quentin and Adrian were discussing matters in the sunroom upstairs. She sighed lightly, certain they were hiding something from her, but since they wouldn't say, she resolved not to ask.Besides, she had been busy lately. Nathan's studio had been established, and new projects were underway. Taking advantage of this gap, she had also joined a variety show, which was organized by the entertainment company under Hezong Tianxia. Naturally, the best resources were allocated to Evelyn.The variety show she was now involved in required the display of various talents. She was practicing the song Adrian wrote for her even more diligently, aiming to express the song's artistic conception to the fullest. At the same time, she had to catch up on schoolwork she had missed and intensified her training, making her daily schedule extremely tight. There was even a segment in the variety show where she had to learn to manage a restaurant on the brink

Can I really outdo my dad?Nathan was unsure, and so was Lanting.But fortunately, Lanting had an ace up his sleeve—his grandfather.At a young age, Lanting had come to understand a fundamental concept of the world's food chain. For instance, his dad was in charge of him, placing his dad higher up on his food chain. However, his grandfather could manage his dad, and Lanting could influence his grandfather, which, in Lanting's mind, put him above his dad on the chain.Thinking this, Lanting didn't dare relax. He called his grandfather first to discuss the matter, then started calling his dad."Dad, there's something I want to discuss with you," Lanting cut to the chase."I also happen to have something to discuss with you," said Damien Huo directly."What is it?""We've been in Hua country for some time now, and it's time to go home. Your grandfather misses you," Damien Huo said indifferently."My grandfather misses me? He doesn't miss me!""Hmm?""Nothing... What I mean is, grandfathe

On this sunny day, Evelyn had breakfast with her four sons. Afterward, Adrian went off to work on a script he had been researching, and Quentin headed to the company to immerse himself in work, while Lanting buzzed around Evelyn's room, chattering away."Mom, you should dress up a bit prettier, so Lanting can have more face!" he advised."Mom, wear that necklace I bought for you!" he suggested."Mom, remember to spritz on just a little bit of perfume," he reminded.Evelyn was helpless against his childish nagging, but eventually, she chose an outfit she liked from her vast wardrobe and applied light makeup. Donning her coat, handbag in one hand and Lanting in the other, she was ready to leave.Descending to the ground floor, she found Nathan sitting in the hall with an air of elegance, legs crossed, holding a glass of red wine. He wasn't drinking, just idly swirling the wine with his slender fingers.Upon hearing them come downstairs, Nathan looked up, his light brown eyes narrowing s

The e-library upstairs was quite spacious, with an entire wall of large screens and a variety of advanced electronic devices. A few staff members stood by, nodding respectfully as Evelyn and the others entered. With a gesture from Damien Huo, they activated the display screens before he turned to Evelyn and said, "Miss Evelyn, let's start by understanding the current situation of the catering industry.""Okay, sure," Evelyn replied.Damien Huo signaled, and the staff began to work. Soon, a professional-level PowerPoint presentation appeared on the screen, and the staff were ready to explain.Lanting realized something was amiss. What was this? Nathan's dad had brought out PowerPoint and assistants, and now his dad was on the same track?What happened to the romantic tutorial they were promised? Why had it turned into a professional meeting?This was, of course, unacceptable!Lanting decided he had to turn things around and protested, "Dad, this is lazy of you; it's definitely not okay

When Damien Huo mentioned viewing the PowerPoint, Evelyn quickly nodded, eyeing the remote in his hand, "Mr. Huo, may I have the remote? I can flip through it myself, and if there's anything I don't understand, I'll ask you. That way, you can attend to your own matters. Otherwise, it feels like I'm imposing on your time."It seemed inappropriate to make such a busy, important person accompany her to look at a PowerPoint.Damien Huo calmly met her gaze, "I'm not busy."Evelyn: "Then—"Damien Huo handed her the remote, "You go through it, and I'll watch with you."Evelyn had no choice but to accept the remote. As she did, her fingers inadvertently touched his, feeling cool to the touch. She was surprised by the chill of his hands given the warmth of the room.However, she didn't have much time to ponder this as she began to flip through the PowerPoint. It started with an overview of the development and future trends of the catering industry in China, followed by descriptions of profit m

As she pondered, Damien Huo suddenly called out, "Lanting, come in." Evelyn looked towards the door, which was shut, and felt a bit surprised. Was Lanting outside? Just then, the door opened, and Lanting walked in grinning, "Dad, how's mom's lesson going?" Evelyn quickly replied, "Very well, I feel like I've learned a lot. Things I used to see every day have been transformed into business concepts after your dad's analysis!" Lanting's face was filled with pride, "Of course, my dad is awesome. Mom, you probably don't know, but dad has been smart since he was young. He won first place in the American Math Competition, he's skilled at skiing, skydiving, can fly a plane, won equestrian championships, went to an Ivy League school at thirteen with a full scholarship, and at fifteen, during a social practice, he turned a ten million investment into three billion profit in just two months, becoming a classic case study at Harvard..." Lanting continued, but Damien Huo interrupted him, "Do

The winter afternoon sun was warm and comforting, with a brisk scent of grass and wood in the air that refreshed the spirit. Looking out, the yard behind the Huo family villa was not too large, but it was uniquely designed, standing out with its simple, clean lines and structure amidst the withered grass of winter. One could imagine that come spring, when life renews, the yard would take on a whole new charm.Lanting walked in the middle, looking up at his dad and then his mom, unable to suppress his giggles. His chubby little body bounced along, his sneakers cheerfully crunching the fallen leaves spiraling to the ground."Dad, this reminds me of Kimmy. His dad also goes for walks with him!" Lanting blinked, deliberately saying this to his father.Damien Huo was well aware of his son's insinuation. He knew that Lanting was trying to say that Kimmy had both a mom and a dad to accompany him, while in the past, he only had his father.Damien Huo didn't speak; he knew his son was brimming
