In early spring in Montana, the sunshine becomes less stingy.

Although you still need to wear a thick wool coat in the morning and evening, the warm wind blowing from the south at noon is enough to melt the last stubborn icicle on the eaves.

10:00 AM. Titan Manor's private helipad.

Three black helicopters painted with the Titan Security logo were warming up, their massive rotors swirling up the remaining snow and withered grass on the ground.

This is the moment of parting.

Ava Green changed into a minimalist yet powerful white Tom Ford women's suit.

She will return to the Titan Technology Building in San Francisco to preside over the multi-billion dollar TerraPower restructuring.

"install."

Ava ignored the noise of the propellers and the stares of her bodyguards.

She stepped forward, wrapped her arms around Chen An's neck, and gave him a very aggressive French kiss.

"I really don't want to leave. Last night... I almost thought I was going to die in that bed."

She bit Chen An's lower lip, her eyes revealing a hint of reluctance and allure.

"However, once I've established all the channels on the West Coast, I'll come back to 'report back' to you. Don't forget what you promised me."

"Go, my queen."

Chen An patted her waist. "California is your battlefield. Defend it for me."

On the other side, Irina changed back into her dreadful military green tactical pants and flight jacket.

She's going to the Canadian border to continue being the "Queen of the North."

"Boss." Irina's farewell was much more hardcore. She gave Chen An a bear hug that could break an ordinary person's ribs.

"The second-phase blast furnace at Polaris will be ignited next month. If any trouble arises, I'll take care of it with my gun."

"If there's anything I can't resolve... I'll call you."

"You don't need to shoot yourself." Chen An ruffled her blonde hair.

"Iron Head has assigned you a full-strength squad of twelve. Remember, you're the factory manager, not a thug. Be careful."

Finally, there's Madeleine.

The elegant countess was returning to Napa Valley to oversee the expansion of the Saint Elena winery.

And to brew the first batch of special red wine for the "Titan Club".

"Chen." Madeline gently kissed Chen An's cheek. "The grapevines in California have already sprouted."

"When autumn comes, I will bring you the finest wine."

"I'll be waiting."

Watching his three confidantes board the helicopter, take off, and fly off in three different directions.

Chen An stood there until the helicopter became three small black dots on the horizon before slowly turning his gaze away.

Although I'm a little reluctant to part with it, this is the romance of a mature man.

It's not about keeping all women in cages like canaries.

Instead, they should be given sufficient resources and power to allow them to shine in their respective fields.

And when they are tired, this manor is always their warmest haven.

"The person is gone, but their soul must have flown away with them, right?"

A sour voice came from behind.

Jessica was wearing a short pink down jacket and skinny jeans.

He was wearing a brand new pair of Gucci leather Dr. Martens boots with the double G logo.

She was kicking pebbles on the ground, looking unhappy.

"What's wrong? Are you jealous?"

Chen An turned around and pinched her puffed-up cheeks.

"No, I didn't! I just think... they all have serious jobs, like strong women."

"And me..." Jessica lowered her head dejectedly, "It seems like I'm only good at being your decorative secretary, nothing more."

"Who said you can't do anything?"

Chen An put his arm around her shoulder and walked towards the main house.

"You can eat, you can warm my bed, and you can make me look good on the red carpet, right?"

"Are you praising me or insulting me?!" Jessica exclaimed angrily.

"Of course I'm praising you."

Chen An laughed, "However, since you want to do something serious, then today you'll come with me to 'inspect the territory'."

……

The most distinctive feature of a farm in spring can be summed up in one word—mud.

As the permafrost thawed, the once hard ground turned into a muddy mess.

"Oh no! My shoes!"

As soon as she reached the dirt road leading to the cowshed, Jessica let out a scream.

Her pair of Gucci boots, worth over a thousand dollars, sank deep into a muddy pit mixed with melting snow and a little cow dung.

When it was pulled out, the originally shiny black skin was covered with a layer of yellowish-brown mud.

"This is terrible..." Jessica looked at her shoes with tears welling up in her eyes.

"On a farm, wearing these kinds of shoes is disrespectful to one's intelligence."

Chen An, on the other hand, walked steadily and firmly.

Today he was wearing a pair of high-top rubber rain boots and carrying a wooden stick used for herding cattle.

He looks like a typical old farmer.

"That's what it means to be grounded in reality."

Looking at Jessica's disgusted expression, Chen An said, "Do you know what's in this mud? There are microorganisms, humus, and the hope for our manor's future year."

"If you're afraid of even a little mud, how dare you call yourself one of the mistresses of Titan Manor?"

"The...the lady of the house?"

This word instantly struck a nerve with Jessica.

She glanced at Chen An, gritted her teeth, and said, "Who's afraid! I... I'm just worried about the money!"

After saying that, she stubbornly waded through the mud, following behind Chen An, even deliberately splashing water in her feet.

"That's more like it."

Just as the two were arguing.

"Boss! Boss! Come quick!"

Tie Tou burst out of the five-star cowshed ahead, waving his arms as he ran.

The bald head gleamed blindingly in the sunlight. "Something's wrong!"

Chen An's eyes narrowed, and he immediately quickened his pace.

"What's wrong? Is someone causing trouble?"

"No!" Tie Tou said, panting heavily.

His face, however, wore an extremely rare, even somewhat comical, panic. "It's...it's 'Mary'! She's about to give birth!"

"Mary?" Chen An remembered; she was the best-built of the black Angus cows on the farm.

She was also the first cow to get pregnant after being slept with by the $300,000 stud bull "Black Whirlwind".

"It's a good thing you're about to give birth, why are you panicking? Where's the vet?"

"Veterinarian... Old John went to town to buy medicine today and hasn't come back yet!" Iron Head slapped his thigh anxiously.

"And something seems wrong with Mary. The calf's legs are out, but its body is stuck! It's a difficult birth!"

"A difficult birth?!"

Chen An's expression changed.

This is a purebred descendant of the first generation of "Titan Snowflake Cattle," and the culmination of his meticulous breeding efforts.

If something goes wrong, it will not only be a loss of tens of thousands of dollars, but also an ominous sign.

"Walk!"

Without hesitation, Chen An strode towards the cowshed.
