Chapter 202: 198. The Arrival of the Fourth and Fifth Little Ones!
A Saturday in mid-April.
In London, England, at eight o'clock in the morning, Auston and Arthur took advantage of a moment when Prince Haiman and Lin Mei were not paying attention and slipped away quietly.
However, they did not realize that Prince Haiman and Lin Mei were actually both watching them, but neither of them said anything.
The two little ones first returned to their room, then each shouldered a large schoolbag, snuck out of the big villa, and quietly arrived at the manor's parking lot.
"When did you say Arthur learned to drive? How come I didn't know?" Prince Haiman watched as Arthur drove away with great proficiency, his jaw dropping in shock.
He had guessed how Arthur and the other might plan to leave the manor, but he never imagined they would actually drive away themselves.
Lin Mei clearly knew the situation and said with some pride: "Arthur is a genius; he only spent a month learning and is already very proficient."
"You aren't worried at all?" Prince Haiman looked at his wife in surprise; after all, Arthur was only a seven-year-old child, and driving was still unsafe.
"Don't you worry, I already had someone modify that car long ago. The top speed can only reach fifty, and all kinds of safety features are prepared. Even if there were an accident, it wouldn't hurt them," Lin Mei said with an air of confidence.
"Alright then." Prince Haiman realized that his wife seemed to have changed a bit too.
"I'll call Taylor right now." In the end, that was all Prince Haiman could say.
In fact, it wasn't just Taylor; there were several other cars quietly following the two little ones, all there to protect them.
At the same time, Prince Haiman had also notified the airline, otherwise, it would have been impossible for the two little ones to leave England.
In the car, Auston and Arthur were both full of excitement; the two little ones felt like adventurers at this moment, so brave!
They were also looking forward to their adventure!
"Quick, quick, quick, start a video call with Taotao and the others, tell them we've already set off," Arthur said excitedly.
At this time, it was five o'clock in the afternoon in Huaxia; Susu and Taotao had clearly received news from their little friends long ago and were quietly hiding in their room.
Upon receiving Auston's video call, Susu and Taotao both asked with concern: "How is it? Have you guys gotten out yet?"
"We've already set off and are about to reach the airport. Remember to come pick us up when we arrive; I don't know the way to your house," Arthur said while driving.
"Mm, don't you worry, Susu and I are already prepared," Taotao also said with excitement.
Susu's usually quiet little face was flushed red at this moment; clearly, participating in such a thing for the first time made the little one feel quite stirred up.
At twelve o'clock noon, Auston and Arthur boarded the plane to Shanghai, Huaxia, right on time, and their success was even a bit surprising to them.
But they were still young after all, and didn't think much of it.
However, the two little ones seemed accustomed to luxury, or rather, they didn't even have the concept of economy class, so they both booked first class.
They looked at the scenery outside the window, their little faces full of the excitement of adventure, and their hearts filled with curiosity and anticipation.
The two little ones sat in first class, but it was tough for Taylor.
Since the two little ones knew him, if he wanted to avoid being discovered, he had no choice but to sit in economy class. Not just him, but everyone who came with him this time also sat in economy class.
"Selina, once we arrive in Huaxia, go home and visit your family; consider it a vacation," Taylor said.
Selina, sitting beside him, had the face of a Huaxia native, though she was used to being expressionless.
Selina said with no expression on her face, "Boss, no need."
"If I give you a vacation, take it. Don't just know how to work all day long. I've always known you don't like this job, and I've never asked you why you insist on doing it, but if you keep suppressing yourself like this, it's not a good thing for your work," Taylor said, waving his hand.
He had one good trait: he never touched the grass around his own nest! Even if they were beautiful, he wouldn't touch them.
He also knew that his secretary, Selina, didn't really like this job, or rather, she had a sense of repulsion toward their company's business.
It was just that Selina had forcibly suppressed all of this herself; relying on her outstanding ability and impeccable professional ethics, her position had risen time and time again.
Hearing Taylor say this, Selina said no more. In her mind, she thought of that home; it seemed she really did need to go back and take a look. Even if she didn't like that home, and even if she chose this job out of so-called rebellion, she still needed to go back and see.
At ten o'clock on Sunday morning, Zhang Ran and He Yong hid together at the entrance of the residential complex, watching the two little ones quietly get into a taxi.
Zhang Ran actually already knew that Auston and the others were coming today; originally, he had even planned to see what method Zhang Xiaotao and the others would use to distract him.
But after he 'accidentally' overheard the childish excuses of the two little ones, he decided not to challenge his own intelligence.
So in the morning, Zhang Ran had already found an excuse to leave on his own; when he left, he was speechless at the surprised look on the two little ones' faces.
"Drive and follow them," Zhang Ran said to He Yong.
No matter what, he wouldn't truly feel at ease letting the two little ones go to the airport to pick people up alone.
On the way, Zhang Ran observed the taxi the two little ones were riding in while chatting with He Yong.
"How is things with Xiao Qing?" Zhang Ran asked casually.
"She's been a bit busy lately, so I rarely disturb her, but I see that she is in good spirits," He Yong said.
"Even if she's busy, you should still show some concern. I can tell that this girl, Xiao Qing, is hiding something in her heart. As her uncle, it's not easy for me to overstep, but you, as her father, need to care more," Zhang Ran was a bit speechless at He Yong; this guy really didn't know how to get along with his daughter.
He Yong listened silently. "Actually, I can roughly guess what Xiao Qing is doing this for," He Yong suddenly said.
Zhang Ran asked curiously: "What is it?"
"It should be related to her mother, but I'm not very clear on the specifics," He Yong said.
He Yong's observational skills were actually quite sharp; He Qing thought she had hidden many things well, but in fact, He Yong had seen it all along.
Zhang Ran said: "I won't interfere much in your affairs, but you must remember, no matter what happens, if you need my help, don't hesitate to say so. If you treat me like a stranger when the time comes, then I'll be angry."
"Thank you, Brother Zhang, I know," He Yong nodded.
