Chapter 724: 719. Preparing for a Heavy Loss (Seeking Subscriptions and Monthly Tickets)

Taylor looked at Prince Haiman, somewhat speechless; he truly had not expected Prince Haiman to pull such a move.

He had not yet made a real decision after listening to those words from Zhang Ran, although in his heart he was still very inclined to let his children take Zhang Ran as their godfather.

But those words of Zhang Ran still made him feel some hesitation; after all, he truly did not know what kind of people the two children would grow up to be in the end.

Meanwhile, Zhang Ran looked at Prince Haiman and the wide-eyed Auston and the others with helplessness and amusement.

"You're presenting me with a fait accompli," Zhang Ran said, annoyed.

Prince Haiman said triumphantly, "That's exactly the point—to not give you a chance to think it over."

"Does your family agree to this? It won't end up causing some kind of trouble, will it? Actually, there's no need for our two families to be like this," Zhang Ran said.

Prince Haiman's expression turned slightly serious, and he said earnestly, "Don't worry, it's no problem. I will convince them, and I also don't want Auston and the others to end up as tools for those people to use.

They should have their own lives; everything I have done, and everything their older brother has shouldered, is already enough."

Hearing this, Zhang Ran said no more and asked directly, "Then what about the gift?"

"What gift?" Prince Haiman asked, stunned.

"Don't play dumb with me," Zhang Ran glanced at him and said, annoyed.

"Haha, this came a bit too suddenly, so I didn't bring it for now. Next time, I'll make up for it next time," Prince Haiman said, laughing it off.

It wasn't that he hadn't thought about the gift, but rather that it wasn't ready; he was preparing a big surprise for Zhang Ran, and since time was too tight, he could only stall for time.

Zhang Ran was truly helpless with Prince Haiman, and looking at Auston and the others, he said, "Why don't you just come live with your godfather? Your dad is so unreliable."

The moment Zhang Ran said this, it meant he had agreed.

This was also normal, because the relationship between their two families was truly excellent, so it was only natural for Zhang Ran to agree.

Moreover, the two little ones, Auston and his brother, had spent a long time with Zhang Ran's family, and all things considered, they were really like Zhang Ran's own children.

Zhang Ran knew the temperaments of the two little ones like the back of his hand, and he liked them very much.

Before Prince Haiman could speak, Arthur immediately said happily, "Really? Godfather, can I go to your house?"

Looking at his surprised expression, one could not doubt that as long as the adults agreed, he would run to Zhang Ran's house without hesitation.

Prince Haiman's previously happy face suddenly darkened, and he glared at Arthur; was he really that eager?

Lin Mei said with a "gentle face," "Does Arthur dislike Mommy that much?"

Arthur shivered subconsciously, and seeing his mother's "gentle" gaze, a flash of inspiration hit him, "Arthur loves Mommy the most; Arthur wants to be with Mommy forever."

Don't look at how Lin Mei usually doted on them and acted quite kindly; when she really disciplined them, she was truly capable of being harsh.

Lin Mei nodded with satisfaction.

Auston looked at his twin brother with some admiration; in these little clever tricks, he was far behind Arthur.

Zhang Ran thought for a moment, took off the two bracelets on his wrists, and handed them to the two little ones.

"This is a gift from Godfather to you," Zhang Ran said with a smile.

Arthur did not stand on ceremony with Zhang Ran, immediately took them, and then said sweetly, "Thank you, Godfather."

Auston's little mouth was also very sweet, "Thank you, Godfather."

Prince Haiman took a look, his expression changed slightly, and he said, "Zhang Ran, there's no need. Just give them something small; this is a bit too valuable."

Of course he knew what these two bracelets were—they were so-called Dzi beads, and they had been consecrated by high monks; just that alone was worth a fortune.

Of course, the main thing was that these two strings of Dzi beads had been worn on Zhang Ran's wrists, which meant they had actually gone through a journey through time and space.

That made them even more priceless!

Zhang Ran sneered, "Haven't you been eyeing them for a long time? It's meaningless to be hypocritical now."

Hearing him say this, Prince Haiman sighed and said, "Sigh, you really want me to bleed heavily once. It seems I have to properly prepare their gifts."

Prince Haiman also saw that Zhang Ran had no intention of being polite and was serious, so he said no more.

Furthermore, he believed the gift he was preparing was no less valuable than these two strings of Dzi beads.

After they resolved this, Taylor said with a wry smile, "Haiman, you make it very difficult for me to act like this."

Prince Haiman said with a grin, "It's fine, anyway I'm having my son recognize a godfather, not a godparent, it doesn't conflict with you."

What else could Taylor say? In fact, this also showed that his relationship with Zhang Ran was still not as close as Prince Haiman's.

Then everyone started chatting among themselves; since Prince Haiman had come, he was in no rush to leave immediately.

Zhang Ran and the others didn't say much about the four little ones, although now Auston and Arthur were the little uncles of Zhang Xiaotao and Susu.

But they were all the same age, so there was no need to emphasize this; it didn't matter if they just called each other by their names.

Of course, this was because Zhang Ran and the others didn't care much about these things.

In places where etiquette was heavy, let alone being of similar age, even an old man meeting a little brat would have to call him uncle or little grandfather, and they also believed this was a rule that must be followed.

Zhang Ran and the others stayed at Taylor's place for a total of three days!

Originally, Zhang Ran had planned to leave early, but one thing after another happened, leaving him no time to leave at all.

And when they finally left, Taylor and Zhang Ran had also made up their minds.

Taylor's two children also successively recognized Zhang Ran as their godfather.

Zhang Ran accepted it, but at the same time, he urged Taylor not to neglect their upbringing; everything he had said before was serious.

Of course, if Taylor was dissatisfied, such a relationship could be rescinded at any time.

After Zhang Ran left, Taylor stood at the gate of the courtyard, looking at the two children who were somewhat reluctant to part, and suddenly said to Kaiselin, "Let's get married."

Kaiselin was stunned, then somewhat pleasantly surprised, but quickly calmed down, "Don't force yourself. I also don't want marriage to be just in name only; you understand what I mean."

Taylor took a deep breath and said, "I understand. After we get married, I won't go out messing around."

"Are you serious?" Kaiselin looked at Taylor with a surprised expression.

What was wrong with Taylor?

"Serious. Otherwise, I wouldn't say such things," Taylor said very seriously.

"Why?"

"For no reason, I have fallen for you, and at the same time, I hope that my child can appear before the public in an upright and honorable manner."
