George noticed the faint chill in Si Yuheng’s side glance: "Mr. Huo only invited Miss Liang for a small gathering, didn’t expect Mr. Si would also come along."

Indeed!

Uninvited, shameless!

Kick him out!

A voice roared in Liang Anya’s heart.

Si Yuheng said indifferently, "Hmm, there is also a business matter to discuss with Mr. Huo today, so I came together."

George was momentarily puzzled but didn’t ask further, politely saying, "Alright, please, come in, both of you."

...

In the presidential suite, the crystal chandelier reflected brightly, making the hall shimmer like midday.

Huo Zhenyang dressed in a meticulous and polished suit, which complemented his tall and handsome figure. His eyebrows and deep eyes exuded the demeanor of the dominant figure in China’s business circle.

After shaking hands with Si Yuheng and exchanging basic pleasantries, his gaze fell on Liang Anya, "Anya, long time no see."

"Mr. Huo, where is Xiaoyi?" Liang Anya could barely contain her excitement.

"Upstairs. I’ll have someone accompany you up later."

Xiaoyi is here too. Liang Anya was pleasantly surprised and asked, "Xiaoyi is due soon, right? Is she here with you in A Country to examine business projects?"

"Actually, the main reason we’re in A Country is to accompany her for the delivery. We’ve decided to have the birth here, made arrangements with the hospital and chief surgeon. Completing the ocean renewable energy project is just incidental."

So that’s it. She couldn’t help but smile, as Xiaoyi would give birth in A Country, meaning she could witness the birth of her godsons and goddaughter in person this time.

Si Yuheng looked at the joyful woman beside him, his expression subtly shifting.

As soon as the Huo couple arrived, this woman seemed to see her saviors, unable to sit still.

Feels someone backing her up and ready to return home? Dream on.

He quietly tightened his grip on her hand and pulled her to sit down.

The three sat face to face.

Huo Zhenyang raised his eyebrows, breaking the silence: "Just heard from George that besides accompanying Anya, there’s also a business matter for Hall Master Si’s visit."

"Correct. It’s regarding the Huo Group’s ocean renewable energy project here in A Country."

Huo Zhenyang’s eyes flickered, and he gracefully made a gesture signaling Si Yuheng to elaborate.

"The project relies on Huo Group for funding and soft-hard technical support. But procurement, transportation, integration parts in A Country are handled by the A Country government. I contacted the domestic energy department yesterday and secured the deal. Beiming Hall will replace the government department to manage the business in A Country, meaning I and Mr. Huo will be partners in the ocean renewable energy plan. In a few days, the government document should be issued to Huo Group, and I’m here today to give a heads-up."

Si Yuheng’s voice echoed, neither loud nor soft, in the spacious room.

Liang Anya was stunned, Si Yuheng was about to collaborate in business with Mr. Huo?

If she tells Xiaoyi that she wants to leave Si Yuheng with Xiaoxiao and seeks Xiaoyi’s help, would it break the relationship between Huo and Si and affect their collaboration?

The business Huo Family does cannot be measured by money, like this ocean renewable energy project, which she heard from dad was planned by the Huo Group for years.

It’s said that when Mr. Huo first took over the group and became CEO years ago, he started preparing for this.

If she cries to Xiaoyi, Xiaoyi would definitely help her, but—if under Xiaoyi’s arrangement she really escapes with Xiaoxiao, with Si Yuheng’s nature of flipping faces, he would definitely break ties with Huo Group!

How could she selfishly ruin Huo Group’s business?

Si Yuheng must have known about Huo Family coming to A Country earlier than her—

Si Yuheng must have done it intentionally and arranged everything beforehand.

He knew she might find Xiaoyi for help to return home, so he simply made this move to block her complaint!

Beiming Hall’s relationship with A Country government officials is so strong, taking on this project with Huo Group was too easy!

She glanced at Si Yuheng, who was eloquently speaking beside her and clenched her fists discreetly.

This man is so cunning, a big fox!

Huo Zhenyang listened to Si Yuheng, frowning slightly.

This ocean renewable energy project is abroad, and of course, there will be local partners.

Who the partner is doesn’t matter.

After Beiming Hall’s recent whitewashing, their business in A Country has been thriving, and their close ties with government departments make Huo Zhenyang assured about collaborating.

However, Si Yuheng had never shown interest in ocean renewable energy before, but suddenly wanting to partner with him wasn’t a coincidence...

His deep eyes flashed sharply, glancing at Liang Anya.

No need to say it, Si Yuheng’s drive to cooperate with Huo Group is because of her.

Huo Zhenyang lightly tapped his cigar, ash like snow showered into the ashtray, laughing lightly: "What sparked Hall Master Si’s interest in the ocean renewable energy project?"

Si Yuheng spoke eloquently: "The global ocean energy has a total reserve of approximately 76.6 billion kilowatts, with a usable reserve of about 6.4 billion kilowatts, nearly matching the world’s total installed power generation capacity. A Country surrounded by the sea holds such vast resources, if utilized, who knows how much of the global electricity shortage and expensive fees it could solve. People in mountainous, forested, and impoverished areas could also have access to electricity. This project is profitable and environmentally friendly, benefits in the present and generations to come. Of course, I’m interested."

Liang Anya was so angry that her teeth ached, "Bah! He speaks like a saint!"

Would he care about power shortages in poor mountainous areas?!

However, this man has done quite a bit of homework, indeed seems determined to cooperate with Huo Group—

Si Yuheng shot a sidelong glance at the slightly trembling woman beside him, smirked with pride.

At this moment, the door opened, gentle footsteps accompanied by a joyful female voice drifted in: "Anya!"

Liang Anya excitedly looked at the person in front of her, Jiayi wearing a white maternity shirt standing before her, her slightly plump, charming face filled with the radiance of happiness, aside from her belly more pronounced than a few months ago, nothing else changed much.

Huo Zhenyang immediately extinguished the cigar, stood up, walked over, and lifted a hand to tap her nose: "Didn’t I ask you to wait upstairs? Why are you down here."

The tone was serious yet brimming with unabashed affection.

George received the Boss’s signal, instantly turned on the purifiers, making the room’s air notably fresher.

"I was almost falling asleep while waiting for you all to finish talking." She pouted lightly, her sparkling eyes looked at Liang Anya, arms opening wide.

Liang Anya couldn’t hold it in any longer, and amidst the presence of several men, she threw herself into her embrace, sobbing.

"Was it necessary... it’s only been a few months." Jiayi smiled, patting her back.

But Liang Anya cried even louder.

Si Yuheng frowned deeply, his expression turned bluish.

The tears she shed now felt like a silent accusation against him.
