Chapter 723: 718. Prince Haiman Recognizes God-Kin (Seeking Subscriptions and Monthly Tickets)

Zhang Ran had not stopped observing the two children, but from the looks of it now, both children were doing very well.

They were lively and cheerful, and there was nothing wrong with them.

Perhaps there was one thing: their inner hearts seemed relatively sensitive. Zhang Ran could see this, but he did not mind it much.

For children born into such a family, it was normal for their inner hearts to be a bit sensitive.

It was the same for Zhang Sicheng and Siyan; their inner hearts had actually always been very sensitive.

It was just that they rarely showed it in daily life.

Zhang Ran had always known this, but he just didn't say anything; he would use his own actions to dissolve the sensitivity they felt due to his absence during their childhood.

Zhang Sicheng and Siyan had both felt this, so slowly, they gradually eliminated that sensitivity and sense of inferiority.

However, just as Zhang Ran was still in the middle of his assessment, someone came looking for him again.

"How did you, this guy, run over here without a sound?" Zhang Ran looked at Prince Haiman in front of him, speechless.

The person who arrived was indeed Prince Haiman; this guy had run over without even giving a heads-up.

"I missed you, can't I come over to see you?" Prince Haiman said with a grin.

Zhang Ran said with a look of disgust: "Get lost, your wife is right there, can you stop being so nauseating?"

Who would have thought that Lin Mei would say with a chuckle: "It's fine, you guys can just pretend I don't exist, I don't mind."

Once these words were out, everyone stared at Lin Mei in a daze.

One had to know that Lin Mei had always maintained a dignified and elegant image; even when she was with them and relaxed a little, she was still very proper.

They had never imagined that Lin Mei could say such a joking remark.

Zhang Ran was speechless for a long while before squeezing out a sentence: "Lin Mei, you've learned to be bad."

"It's not like I didn't learn it from you guys," Lin Mei also said with a smile.

It could be seen that Lin Mei had indeed changed a lot after spending time with Zhang Ran and the others; at the very least, she had learned how to joke.

In the past, Lin Mei wouldn't joke, and at the same time, there was no one she could joke with.

Every word and action of hers was under close scrutiny, even within her own home, as they still had servants.

Although they were all very reliable people, no one could guarantee whether these people would go out and talk nonsense.

But there were no such concerns when she was with Zhang Ran and the others, and it was truly relaxed and comfortable.

"Haha, Zhang Ran, my wife has learned to be bad from you, how are you going to compensate me?" Prince Haiman laughed loudly.

Zhang Ran said speechlessly: "Is this my fault?"

"Isn't it?"

"It is not!"

"It is your fault." Prince Haiman seized upon it and wouldn't let go.

Zhang Ran could see it now; this guy definitely had something he needed from him, otherwise he absolutely wouldn't be doing this.

"Alright, if you have something to say, just say it; using your wife as a shield, aren't you ashamed?" Zhang Ran said with disdain.

He then looked at Lin Mei and said seriously: "Lin Mei, look at your husband, treating you like this; when you go back tonight, you must use family law on him."

"Don't sow discord," Prince Haiman looked at the look in Lin Mei's eyes, which seemed to have been provoked by Zhang Ran, and suddenly panicked a little.

"Wife, you know me, I'm not that kind of person." Prince Haiman hurriedly expressed his loyalty.

At this moment, Kaiselin was a bit dazed watching Prince Haiman's performance; was this really the Prince of the UK?

Was this the Prince who had such excellent fame and reputation?

It was just that Prince Haiman's performance here exceeded Kaiselin's understanding.

She had originally regarded Prince Haiman as her idol, but now she discovered that her idol had collapsed.

Taylor, on the other hand, was unfazed, though he also knew that among the three, Zhang Ran's relationship with Prince Haiman was better than his own.

In fact, this was a normal thing; even biological parents have closer or more distant relationships with their biological children, let alone friends.

"Alright, go home to show your affection, tell me what the matter is; if it's something I can help with, I will absolutely not refuse," Zhang Ran said.

Prince Haiman had helped him quite a bit, and had never once said no.

Back then, when he dragged Prince Haiman to play games and do promotions for Zhang Sicheng's company's games, Prince Haiman hadn't said a word of complaint.

Moreover, Prince Haiman had helped with many things afterward without a second word; now that he had something, Zhang Ran would not just stand by and watch.

Upon hearing this, Prince Haiman immediately said with a grin: "You said that yourself, don't go back on your word."

Seeing him like this, Zhang Ran knew it definitely wasn't anything major, and immediately retracted his offer: "Then let's forget it, I feel like you definitely don't have anything good in mind."

"Don't be like that, it really is a good thing, and how can you be someone who goes back on their word?" Prince Haiman was a bit anxious.

Then, without another word, he directly pulled the two little ones, Auston and Arthur, over and said to them: "Call him godfather."

As he said this, he pointed at Zhang Ran.

Auston and Arthur were still in a daze, but their relationship with Zhang Ran was also quite good.

They also liked Zhang Ran very much; if they could, they would be willing to stay at Zhang Ran's house permanently.

So, upon hearing this, they didn't hesitate and said in unison: "Godfather!"

Zhang Ran was even more dazed than them, this...

Actually, last night, after Lin Mei learned of Taylor's purpose, she called Prince Haiman when she returned to her room to rest.

The two of them had long had similar thoughts, but they didn't know the opinions of the children or Zhang Ran, so they had been dragging it out.

Now that Taylor had made the request, the two of them were no longer dragging it out.

After Prince Haiman got up this morning, he rushed over directly, all for the sake of having Zhang Ran accept this god-kin relationship.

Compared to Taylor, they were both very knowledgeable about Huaxia culture; Lin Mei was Huaxia, and Prince Haiman, because of his relationship with Zhang Ran, had also studied Huaxia culture for decades, making him something of a Huaxia expert.

Therefore, they didn't have Zhang Ran act as a godfather to Auston and Arthur in the Western sense, but directly recognized the god-kin relationship.

Although the meaning was similar, in reality, there was still a significant gap; at the very least, the significance of recognizing god-kin in Huaxia was much deeper in terms of emotion than the significance of recognizing a godfather in Europe and America.

As for why Prince Haiman and the others wanted to establish this godparent relationship, there were naturally some ulterior motives; these motives were similar to Taylor's, as after all, Zhang Ran's situation was as it was here, and furthermore, neither of them wished for Auston and Arthur to become puppets of the royal family, wanting them to have lives of their own.

If they had Zhang Ran's help, achieving this would be quite simple.

Of course, the most important reason was actually that Prince Haiman hoped for a better relationship between the two families; he and Zhang Ran had met by chance, and because of Zhang Ran, his own situation had changed significantly.

Therefore, his friendship with Zhang Ran was actually even better, and making their bond closer through kinship was something he hoped to see.
