Chapter 725: 720. Four Little Crafty Ones (Please Subscribe and Vote for Monthly Tickets)

Zhang Ran did not know about the situation on Taylor's side, though he could actually guess most of it.

The reason Taylor made such a choice, and said so much to Zhang Ran, was actually in large part because he himself had plans to get married.

It was just that he couldn't get past that hurdle in his own heart.

Zhang Ran and the others first returned to the hotel to rest for a while, and didn't leave until the next day.

When it was time to leave, the four little ones were extremely reluctant to part.

Auston and Arthur had been having such a great time during this period; there was no homework, no strict etiquette teachers, and no need to maintain proper manners at all times.

This made them feel incredibly relaxed and at ease.

But this life had to end starting today, because they still needed to go back; it was impossible for them to truly live with Zhang Ran.

"Godfather, when can I come find you to play? I will miss you," Arthur said, looking at Zhang Ran with longing eyes and acting like a spoiled child.

Zhang Ran was truly speechless looking at this crafty little fellow; was he really missing him?

Obviously not, but when a little one says something like that, anyone would feel warm inside.

Auston looked at Zhang Ran in exactly the same way; he knew that he was far inferior to his younger brother when it came to saying flattering things, so he left these matters to his brother to handle.

Prince Haiman and Lin Mei looked at each other, both feeling a bit helpless.

In the past, Arthur was also quite articulate, but not like this; they really didn't know who he had learned it from.

"As long as you want to come, you can come anytime. Godfather always welcomes you to visit," Zhang Ran said with a smile, then looked at Prince Haiman triumphantly.

Upon hearing this, Arthur was overjoyed, "Then we want to go right now..."

"Ahem." Before Arthur could finish his sentence, he heard two dry coughs; the sound came from their mother.

Arthur's little face immediately turned bitter, and he changed his tune, "Godfather, then I will definitely come over to play when I have time."

"Haha, good, I'll come pick you up when you're on vacation," Zhang Ran said amusedly; this little fellow was truly one of a kind when it came to acting.

Zhang Xiaotao cleverly ran over to Lin Mei, "Grandma Lin, you must also come visit us often. I will miss you very much too."

Susu nodded her little head along with him, as if she would really miss Lin Mei very much.

Lin Mei was truly helpless; how had these four little ones all turned into this now?

"Alright, alright, alright, Grandma will definitely come to see you when I have time." Lin Mei was also very fond of the two little ones, Zhang Xiaotao and Susu.

"What about me? Don't Susu and Taotao miss me?" Prince Haiman said, feeling a bit jealous.

Susu immediately said, "Of course we miss you, but Grandpa said you are always very busy, and Grandpa said not to disturb your work."

Zhang Ran looked at Susu; he had never actually said this, because Susu had never taken the initiative to ask to chat with Prince Haiman either.

Prince Haiman glared at Zhang Ran, "Susu, don't listen to your grandpa. I'm not busy; Susu can call me anytime."

"Mm-hmm, then can you come to our house to play now?" Susu's big eyes were full of anticipation.

Prince Haiman immediately began to cough dryly; he really couldn't go right now, and it wasn't as if he truly had nothing to do on his end.

Moreover, Prince Haiman still had some self-awareness; Susu wasn't sincerely inviting him to go, but was mainly doing it for Auston and Arthur.

Zhang Ran looked at Prince Haiman with amusement; let you show off! How is it now?

"Well, Susu, Auston and the others need to go to school; if they don't go, their teachers will beat them," Prince Haiman said helplessly.

"Then... alright." Susu's little face was full of disappointment.

Prince Haiman was speechless; I haven't even said whether I can go or not, do you have to be so obvious about it?

"Alright, the time has come, we'll be heading off first," Zhang Ran said.

Prince Haiman said, "Alright then, we are leaving too."

After saying their goodbyes, they parted ways. This time, Prince Haiman's private jet was returning with him, but Zhang Ran had also chartered a plane to go back; after all, there were quite a few people, and Zhang Ran couldn't be bothered to go to extra trouble. Besides, he really wasn't short on money, and this was more comfortable.

After boarding the plane, Zhang Ran really couldn't hold back and quietly asked Susu, who was beside him, "Susu, who taught you those things from before?"

He truly didn't believe that such a tiny child could have such worldly wisdom.

Susu had no guile at all and immediately sold the person out.

"It was Auntie Xiaoting who told us to say that. She said this would let Auston and the others come back with us to play. Auntie Xiaoting lied to us." As she spoke, Susu pouted her little mouth, very dissatisfied.

Zhang Ran looked at Qi Xiaoting, who was pricking up her ears nearby, and said to Gong Nan speechlessly, "Your little girl is really quite proficient in worldly ways."

Gong Nan had actually heard Zhang Ran's words, and instead of being angry, he said quite proudly, "That's right, my Xiaoting is completely hopeless when it comes to her studies, but she doesn't need anyone to teach her these crooked ways."

"What is there to be proud of about that?" Zhang Ran said irritably.

"This is also a skill, you know; I'm the one who lacks these things," Gong Nan said, and he was very serious.

Gong Nan, or rather, children who come out of welfare homes, are basically relatively introverted people.

Even after entering society and starting their careers, they are still somewhat introverted in their personalities.

They don't know how to flatter others, don't know how to talk, and so on.

But now that his daughter was self-taught in this area, he was actually quite happy.

Qi Xiaoting saw that her dad didn't seem angry, so she let out a huge sigh of relief, then gave Susu a big eye-roll; this little girl had sold her out directly.

In fact, the four little ones had known for several days that they were going to part ways, so they were all a bit worried.

And Qi Xiaoting had been following the four little ones all these days, so she had been offering them advice and strategies.

However, it wasn't without gain for Qi Xiaoting to spend so much time with the four little ones; she had plenty of designer clothes, brand-name bags, and all sorts of luxury goods.

These were all bought with money from Huo Zhiyuan.

At first, Qi Xiaoting was very embarrassed, but after Zhang Ran said it twice, she wasn't embarrassed anymore.

Along the way, everyone chatted and laughed, and when they were tired, they slept; time passed quite quickly.

After all, it was just their group, and there were no major constraints, so they could even shout loudly while chatting.

The plane landed directly at Modu Jichang. Zhang Ran asked Gong Nan and the others to go to their place, but was refused by Gong Nan.

"I still want to go back and accompany my wife; what's there to stay with you for?" Gong Nan said.

Zhang Ran was speechless and immediately chased him away, though Qi Xiaoting was a bit reluctant; she didn't want to go home, but she had no say in this matter.
