That evening, while having dinner, Miranda told Lachlan some news.
"Lachlan, I might have to leave Edoland tomorrow and go to Iylonio for a while."
Upon hearing this, Lachlan was taken aback. Nora's face tightened as she grabbed Miranda's hand and said reluctantly, "Mommy Miranda, why do you have to go to Iylonio?"
Miranda rubbed Nora's head and smiled, "I have a meeting there."
The next second, she explained in detail to Lachlan, "I've been invited by the official authorities of Iylonio to attend a 'National Pharmaceutical Outstanding Contribution Commendation Conference.' This conference is held by the government of Iylonio. It commends outstanding enterprises and individuals in the national pharmaceutical industry while also providing an opportunity for networking within the industry."
"As you know, Lowe's Pharmaceutical's new drugs are significant breakthroughs in medicine. Especially Love Light capsules that treat leukemia have great significance in the pharmaceutical field."
"So this time around, I'm specially invited. It wouldn't be appropriate not going!"
Lachlan nodded understandingly upon hearing this.
Indeed, Love Light capsules' release would undoubtedly cause a huge impact on society; it meant significant progress towards treating leukemia. It wasn't surprising that it caught the attention of national authorities.
As Lowe's Pharmaceutical's leader being invited as part of "Outstanding Contribution Commendation Conference," refusing would be inappropriate.
Moreover, Lachlan knew that Miranda wasn't someone content with being just a housewife who stayed at home all day long; deep down inside her was an ambitious businesswoman who wanted to make achievements within her field.
Lachlan supported her aspirations wholeheartedly.
This nationwide conference was also an opportunity for Miranda; how could Lachlan disagree?
Of course another point was that he himself happened to be going too!
He was thinking about how to talk to Miranda and Nora when Miranda brought up the topic.
"Honey, are you also going to Iylonio? That's perfect!" Lachlan said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Miranda exclaimed, "Huh?" and stared at Lachlan with a hint of annoyance in her beautiful eyes. "What do you mean? Are you hoping that I'll leave?"
"Hmph! Dad, you really don't know how to speak?" Nora pouted and made a face at Lachlan, looking displeased.
Lachlan had a sweatdrop on his forehead and explained with a bitter smile, "That's not what I meant! What I meant was, I'm also going to Iylonio with you. This way, we can go on a trip together with Nora. How about that?"
Upon hearing this, Miranda was momentarily stunned. "You're going too?"
Nora's eyes lit up instantly, and she exclaimed, "Yay! I get to go on a trip with Mom and Dad!"
The goddess CEO glanced deeply at Lachlan, and a hint of joy flashed in her eyes. For some reason, she felt indescribably happy when she heard Lachlan say he wanted to go with her.
That night...
Tonight, Nora would sleep with her dad. After Lachlan and Miranda put Nora to sleep together, Miranda was about to leave Lachlan's bedroom.
As she was about to leave, she gave Lachlan a meaningful look.
Lachlan smiled in response and quietly walked out, closing the bedroom door behind him.
In the corridor outside, the goddess CEO stood there, her exquisite face deliberately stern, but her beautiful eyes seemed to speak, revealing a complex affection as she looked at Lachlan.
This demeanor and expression made her even more captivating, causing Lachlan's heart to skip a beat.
"Hey, why did you decide to go to Iylonio with me? Actually... I have company personnel accompanying me, so you don't have to be with me," Miranda glanced at Lachlan disdainfully and said in a feigned manner.
Her character dictated that she wasn't good at acting cute or saying cheesy things like "Darling, you're so good." But when she heard Lachlan say he wanted to go to Iylonio with her, the goddess CEO's heart was filled with a sweet feeling.
However, at this moment, Lachlan scratched his head and awkwardly smiled, "I'm not specifically accompanying you, I have my own business in Iylonio too! Mr. Ward asked me for a favor."
Lachlan didn't hide anything and quietly explained the situation regarding the Ward family to Miranda, going through it again.
