Zhang Ran also sensed that Taylor seemed to have something to discuss with him; Taylor must have had a reason for seeking him out this time.

It was only delayed because of Yu Qingyu's wedding, so after Zhang Ran finished dealing with Yu Qingyu's affairs, the whole family went over.

They drove for a while, and it wasn't until the four little ones were all sleepy that they arrived at Taylor's manor.

This place is quite far from the city center, but the scenery is excellent, and the manor covers a vast area.

Looking at the manor, Lin Mei couldn't help but exclaim, "This manor is truly wonderful."

She has seen many super-luxurious manors, so being able to give such an evaluation was already very high praise.

Taylor happened to hurry over and laughed upon hearing this: "Thank you for the compliment, Princess."

"Mr. Taylor, just call me Lin Mei; there's no need to be so formal," Lin Mei said.

In fact, her impression of Taylor had never been very good in the past, or rather, most women did not have a very good impression of Taylor.

After all, who could have a good impression of such a Playboy? Especially a woman like Lin Mei, who holds traditional Huaxia values.

However, during this period, Lin Mei had temporarily cast aside her identity as a princess to relax and travel with Zhang Ran's family, and having had some contact with Taylor, she discovered that this person was actually quite decent.

Although Taylor likes to play, he never forces anyone; it is always a matter of mutual need.

Taylor was slightly stunned by her words, but he immediately climbed up the pole and said: "Alright, you can just call me Taylor as well."

His relationship with Prince Haiman had always been good, but because Lin Mei, the princess, had a poor impression of him, he rarely interacted with her in the past, and every time he did, it was quite formulaic.

Taylor then led Zhang Ran and the others inside, introducing his super manor as they walked.

"It is indeed nice. I can't say much for your other traits, but when it comes to enjoyment, I truly have never seen anyone who knows how to enjoy life better than you," Zhang Ran remarked.

Taylor said quite proudly upon hearing this: "That's for sure. I've done specialized research on personal enjoyment."

"Seriously, Zhang Ran, you should really enjoy yourself now too. With so much money in your hands, not enjoying it is simply a waste."

No sooner had he finished speaking than he felt several unfriendly gazes—one from Siyan, and the other from Zhiyuan.

Siyan did not want her father to become a Playboy like Taylor; although she hoped her father could find someone new, she did not want him to become a Playboy.

She wouldn't mind an extra younger brother or sister or two, but she would mind a whole crowd of them!

As for Zhiyuan, there is even less need to say more.

Feeling these two unfriendly gazes, Taylor said somewhat sheepishly: "I was just joking."

Zhang Ran acted as if he knew nothing and said with a smile: "Who says I don't enjoy life? It's just that my way of enjoying it is different from yours."

"You like to enjoy yourself amidst money, beauties, and wild parties; you like that feeling of decadence."

"But I like a leisurely and carefree life."

"Just think, if I were to spend my time surrounded by women and had to clean up after these things every day, my head would ache just thinking about it."

Zhang Ran is not a moral saint; on the contrary, his thinking is quite ordinary.

He likes beauties too, but it's just that he doesn't have the personality of a scumbag.

And who says that Zhang Ran's way isn't enjoyment?

A calm and stable life, coupled with a harmonious and warm family—this is actually what Zhang Ran pursues.

"That's true, everyone's pursuits are different," Taylor hurriedly changed the subject.

However, he was no longer lecturing Zhang Ran; instead, Zhang Ran wanted to lecture him.

"Actually, Taylor, you should also consider your lifelong affairs. Don't wait until you die and have no one to see you off; surely you aren't counting on me to handle your funeral arrangements?" Zhang Ran and Taylor are very good friends, so he had no reservations in his speech.

Regardless, the servants in the manor nearby were all stunned hearing Zhang Ran's words—was he cursing their boss to die?

Taylor did not mind these words from Zhang Ran; he knew Zhang Ran meant well.

"Don't worry, I don't need you to handle it. I have a candidate, and that is exactly why I asked you to come over this time," Taylor said with a smile.

Zhang Ran's body is very healthy right now, and Taylor is very clear about this; after all, if it weren't good, there would always be some news or other situations leaking out.

Based on the current situation, it is inevitable that Zhang Ran will outlive him.

"Oh, right, I almost forgot, you are also a man with children," Zhang Ran said, suddenly realizing.

He remembered Taylor telling him that he had children, only they hadn't been exposed due to certain relationships.

Of course, it is a fact that Taylor is not married.

"Yes, I want to ask you to be the godfather to my two children," Taylor did not hide anything.

This was an idea he had long ago, but the timing hadn't been right before.

Now that Zhang Ran had come here, and his relationship with Zhang Ran had returned to being as good as before—with the period of disappearance not affecting their friendship—Taylor finally made this decision.

Zhang Ran did not immediately agree; this "godfather" role is a special culture in Europe and America, and basically, most children have a godfather.

In fact, it is quite similar to the meaning of a "godfather" in Huaxia, though of course, this godfather is a godfather in the true sense.

"Taylor, why do you have this idea?" Zhang Ran asked.

Taylor began: "I have actually been considering the choice of a godfather for my children ever since they were born, but because of some things, it kept getting dragged out."

"And I didn't know who to choose; to be honest, I don't really trust anyone else."

"It's not that I couldn't let others be the godfather, but most of those are combinations of interests, and they would just be tools; I don't want them to become tools for my career."

Taylor spoke very sincerely because he knew that lying about this matter was unnecessary, and most importantly, he couldn't hide it from Zhang Ran.

"You are different. I know you treat me as a true friend, and I feel the same. To put it bluntly, you are actually my only true friend; even Haiman is mixed with many interest-based relationships." Taylor was being heart-to-heart by saying this, especially since Lin Mei was still right there.

But this was actually the truth; don't look at how good his relationship with Prince Haiman is, there is still a significant amount of interest-based connection there.

However, in his friendship with Zhang Ran, they basically had none of that mixed in, and his own affairs had developed because of Zhang Ran, so Zhang Ran was the best choice.
