Chapter 644: 640. The Exploding Social Media Circle (Seeking Subscriptions and Monthly Tickets)

Zhang Ran listened to their account quietly like this, with no intention of interrupting them, and his expression was also very calm.

The middle-aged man was rambling on, and the woman would occasionally say a few words in a low voice; their complexions were relatively peaceful, without much sorrow or complaint, and the restlessness they had shown when first meeting Zhang Ran had completely vanished.

"Little Zhang, I've let you see a joke," the middle-aged man said with a somewhat embarrassed smile after coming back to his senses.

Zhang Ran said softly, "Not at all. Do you two have any plans for the future?"

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man said, "Plans? I want to go and see this world. Actually, thinking about it, this is quite nice. At the very least, she is still by my side, and I want to see this world together with her."

As he spoke, the middle-aged man looked at his wife tenderly, their eyes filled with love.

Right now, they were out of place in this world, but fortunately, they had someone by their side at all times; perhaps they were each other's world.

The middle-aged man did not ask about Zhang Ran's situation either; they knew Zhang Ran was going to propose, but they dared not ask, because a happy ending is hard to come by.

"If you have any needs, you can call this number," Zhang Ran finally stood up, left them a number, and then left the place.

He did not ask for their names, and the two did not volunteer them; perhaps they had subconsciously isolated themselves completely from the world.

"Grandpa," Susu tucked her little hand into her grandfather's large hand; her sensitive little emotions had sensed that her grandfather's mood seemed a bit off.

Zhang Ran held the little one's small hand and said with a smile, "Grandpa is fine."

Zhang Xiaotao did not have thoughts as sensitive as Susu's; he was currently running wild with the two Auston brothers.

However, watching the little ones playing, Zhang Ran's mood also recovered.

Moreover, because of the words of that couple, Zhang Ran also untied some of his inner knots; although the situation was indeed very bad, just as they said, it was not the absolute worst.

At the very least, they still had each other's company, and Zhang Ran also had family accompanying him.

"Susu, do you want to stay here and play with Auston and the others, or go play with me?" After finishing the meal, Zhang Ran asked the two little ones with a smile.

Tomorrow he was going to the United States, and once there, he would have many things to attend to; he reckoned he wouldn't have much time to look after the two children.

However, he still wanted to ask for the two little ones' opinions.

In his view, whether it was Susu or Taotao, they would both stay behind; after all, this was the home of the good friends they had been longing for.

And it had to be said that Prince Haiman's home had many fun things.

Horseback riding, archery, and some other activities.

There was also a game room that Prince Haiman had specially installed for the two little ones, along with various game consoles.

Susu was even provided with a toy room, filled with all kinds of beautiful toys and dolls; it could be said to be very attractive to a little girl's eyes.

And Susu liked it very much too.

So in Zhang Ran's view, this was almost a choice that didn't need to be made; if it were his own true childhood, he would have chosen to stay without hesitation.

Children are always playful, and when they were at home, Liu Lu was very strict with them; now that they could finally run wild and play, naturally they wouldn't want to leave.

But the choice made by Susu and the others exceeded Zhang Ran's expectations.

The two little ones grabbed Zhang Ran's legs without hesitation, "Grandpa, I want to go with you."

"Grandpa, don't leave me behind."

Looking at the little ones' subconscious actions, Zhang Ran was stunned for a moment, then immediately took Susu into his arms and whispered, "Don't worry, Grandpa will never leave Susu behind."

"Mm-hmm." Susu tucked her little head into her grandfather's arms.

After comforting Susu a little, Zhang Ran looked at Zhang Xiaotao and said, "Are you willing to give up so many fun toys? Grandpa is telling you clearly in advance this time: Grandpa will be a bit busy next, and won't have time to play with you."

Zhang Xiaotao looked at the game room with some reluctance, but still nodded firmly; he still wanted to go with Grandpa.

Qi Xiaoting, on the other hand, did not want to leave, but she also knew the gravity of the situation and did not say it out loud.

One had to know that this was Prince Haiman's home.

Two days ago, she had relied on acting cute to take a photo with Prince Haiman, and after obtaining Prince Haiman's consent, she posted it to her social media circle.

That had caused an immense amount of envy; not only that, even her mother, who had never posted photos of her on social media, had reposted her photo.

Of course, Qi Xiaoting also understood her mother's purpose in doing so; she reckoned showing off was secondary.

But this could not diminish the excitement in her heart in the slightest.

Also, during this time, she had often posted photos of herself horseback riding, practicing archery, and hunting to her social media circle.

Her social media circle had almost never been this lively; friends and classmates were all sending messages to ask.

Even the teacher who had been unhappy because she took leave was the same; no longer unhappy, the teacher instead chatted with her often and was even more concerned about her studies.

This was a feeling Qi Xiaoting had never experienced before; even when her family was still doing okay in the past, by comparison, the difference was not just a little bit.

Qi Xiaoting was very reluctant to part with her current life, but she also knew that she had to leave together with them.

If it weren't for her Zhang Shu, Prince Haiman wouldn't know her at all, and she wouldn't have the nerve to stay behind with a thick face.

"Why don't you take Auston and the others with you when the time comes," Prince Haiman suddenly said.

Zhang Ran was stunned, "What are you doing?"

"Nothing much, it's just that Auston and the others also want to go play with Susu and the others; it just so happens you can take them together," Prince Haiman said with an indifferent air.

In fact, he was very expectant in his heart; not for anything else, just to be able to have a few days of leisure.

Their family was different from those aristocratic families; the children were raised by themselves. This had many benefits, of course, but there were also drawbacks, which was that from time to time, some father-son conflicts would arise.

Sometimes, even Prince Haiman's gentle temperament was driven to sparks by the two little ones, and even his fan-sized palms were itching to move.

Prince Haiman missed the time last year when the two little ones ran away from home; at that time, there were only him and his wife Lin Mei in the house, and that was what you called a true world for two.

Zhang Ran looked at him suspiciously; although he didn't know what Prince Haiman was up to, he could feel that it wasn't anything good.

"And Susu and Taotao will have someone to play with, won't they?" Prince Haiman added.

Susu immediately stared at her grandfather with longing eyes, while the Auston brothers rushed over directly.

Prince Haiman now didn't want to stay with them anymore, and how were the two brothers any different?
