Before he died, my grandfather forced me to marry the richest man in the capital.

Lu Jinnan stayed in Ji Hancheng's hospital room and didn't leave. He and Han Yue stayed on the sofa, one sleeping and the other playing King of Glory. Ji Hancheng had a terrible headache. Xu Mingkai was squeezed to sit on the other side of the sofa.

Lu's mother rushed to the hospital to bring chicken soup, but when she opened the door, she found that her son was not in the ward. A little puzzled, she went to the front desk and asked, "I want to ask where the patient in this ward is."

The nurse smiled and said politely, "Auntie, it's in room 1314." Lu Jinnan's room was 1313.

Lu's mother: They're having a great time living in this courtyard; they've all come to visit each other.

With a puzzled look, Lu's mother pushed open the door and saw several people lying on the sofa in twos and threes. This didn't look like a hospital room at all; it looked more like a party.

She also really liked these children, and said with a smile, "Han Yue is here too."

Because Lu Jinnan knew the patients in ward 1314, the nurses didn't stop his mother from going to the next ward.

Hearing the sound, Han Yue, who was not fast asleep, sat up and politely greeted, "Auntie is here."

Lu's mother turned around and glanced at Ji Hancheng lying on the hospital bed. Her expression showed obvious surprise, and her voice rose significantly. "Oh dear, Hancheng, why are you in the hospital too? What happened? Did you hit a tree too?"

Han Yue placed a fist to his lips, hiding a smile.

Ji Hancheng felt a little awkward about Lu's mother's concern and didn't know how to explain, "Auntie, I accidentally got hurt."

Lu's mother wanted to know more about how she got injured, so she sat down on the edge of the bed without any hesitation, ready to nag, "What illness did you have that led you to be admitted here? My Xiao Nan has a concussion."

Ji Hancheng: "..."

Unable to withstand Lu's mother's repeated questions, Ji Hancheng, who was not a talkative person to begin with, gestured to Lu Jinnan with his eyes.

Upon receiving the signal, Lu Jinnan put away his phone. "Mom, what delicious food did you bring me? I'm starving! Stop arguing and go eat. If I starve to death, you can forget about ever having a grandson." As he spoke, he pushed his mother out the door.

Lu's mother was still reluctant to leave, muttering, "What's wrong with you, child? I'm still chatting with you. You're going to send some to Young Master Ji later. Why haven't I seen any members of the Ji family?"

As Lu Jinnan sipped his chicken soup, he said, "Young Master Ji didn't ask anyone to notify us, probably because he was worried about his family. Don't be nosy."

Lu's mother said, "Do you think I'm so loose-lipped? Your mother is very tight-lipped."

"That's fine then. You can go back now. I'll stay for two more days."

Lu's mother, being a bit gossipy, said, "Son, has Xiaoxue come to see you these past few days? I ran into her the other day, and I'm telling you, that girl is even prettier now. Don't tell anyone that Xiaoxue doesn't fit your aesthetic standards."

Lu Jinnan's mind conjured up Su Xue's face. He hadn't looked closely that day because he was busy arguing, but now he realized she was much prettier and more womanly than before, exuding a mature woman's allure. However, he seemed uninterested. "Oh, Mom, stop worrying about this stuff. Your son won't stay single. I guarantee I'll bring you a wife next year, okay? Can you leave me alone? Go take your afternoon nap and hurry back. Also, don't bring me chicken soup tomorrow; I'll eat with Young Master Ji."

He was almost throwing up from drinking.

Lu's mother stood up. "You said it yourself, don't try to fool me. Fine, then stay a few more days. Whether it's Dr. Tang or Su Xue, hurry up and choose one." She grabbed her bag from the sofa, put on her high heels, and left, giving Lu Jinnan a glare at the door.

Receiving a piercing look, Lu Jinnan said, "I know, I know."

Tang Junyao and Su Xue were having lunch in the hospital ward cafeteria.

Su Xue couldn't help but sigh, "Why is the food in the inpatient ward better than what we get in the outpatient department?"

Tang Junyao shoveled rice into her mouth. "Isn't that because you're tired of the outpatient cafeteria food? Even the best food gets boring after a while. You know, the importance of novelty?"

She picked up another bite of food and put it in her mouth. "Let's go earlier tomorrow. I checked the weather and it looks pretty good, around 18 degrees Celsius. Let's drive together. I'll get up early to pick you up. The little ones like to be together too."

Su Xue agreed, "Okay, the dean is pretty good to us. We're in the same class, and you're in the inpatient department and I'm in the inpatient department too. We're stuck together for life."

Tang Junyao chuckled softly, a genuine smile of happiness.

Tang Junyao: "My sisters have all been placed in the inpatient ward recently."

Su Xue, picking up some food, asked疑惑地问道, "Why? Aren't we all on the same shift?"

Tang Junyao didn't want to delve too deeply into it. Since they were both at work anyway, Su Xue didn't ask any further questions. It wasn't a big deal, as long as they were in the same hospital.

Su Xue suddenly remembered the discussion in the office this morning, "Hey, I heard from the girls in our office that there are two really handsome guys living on the 13th floor. Tell me how handsome they are."

Tang Junyao choked on her rice, coughing until tears streamed down her face. "Cough cough cough... Are you sure you want to know?"

Su Xue lowered her voice and said firmly, "I'm just a single mother, that doesn't stop me from appreciating handsome men. Just because I'm a mother doesn't mean you can deprive me of appreciating handsome men for the rest of my life. That's not fair."

Tang Junyao paused for a moment, cleared her throat, and said, "Fine, you're all ears. Sit still and don't make a sound."

Tang Junyao glanced at her best friend, who was sitting upright, and chuckled. "One of them is the guy you had a fight with the other day, the father of my child."

Su Xue's expression instantly turned disgusted and disdainful. "Damn, what kind of eyes do young girls have these days? This kind of scumbag is considered handsome? Look at the caregiver he hired. He needs a beautiful woman to serve him while he's in the hospital. How disgusting! I don't think he can breathe without a woman by his side." She was completely unaware that Lu Jinnan had fired the caregiver the very day they finished their fight.

After complaining about Lu Jinnan, she continued, "And the last one?"

Tang Junyao said calmly, "Ji Hancheng."

Su Xue's voice suddenly rose, "What's going on? Is this a group of people coming to the hospital for a vacation? Could they also have concussions?"

Tang Junyao smiled, took a sip of water, and licked her teeth with her tongue. "You're amazing, it's just a concussion."

Su Xue: "............"

Su Xue has already blacklisted them both. "Yao Yao, remember this: never be soft-hearted and forgive him. He looked down on you back then, and now you're not good enough for him. Humph."

Tang Junyao: "No, I only see him as a patient now."

The sun was shining brightly, its rays streaming through the car windows, and a gentle breeze made it feel very comfortable.

On Saturday morning, Tang Junyao, along with Aunt Zhang, Aunt Wu, and Xiaoyouzi, went to the Su family early to pick up Su Xue.

Upon arriving at the Su family's house, Tang Junyao told the two aunts to hold Xiaoyouzi without getting out of the car. She then turned to her son in the back and said, "Lele, Mommy is going to pick up Xiaocaomei. I'll be right back. You and Grandma can wait for Mommy in the car for a while, okay?"

As soon as we mentioned picking up Little Strawberry, Little Yuzu nodded happily, her little face full of smiles.

A child's happiness is the purest and most direct.

Tang Junyao pushed open the car door and got out. Today she was dressed in a sporty outfit, a white sweatshirt set with a beige vest, thinking it would be convenient to take the child with her.

As soon as they got out of the car, they saw Su's mother carrying Little Strawberry out. Little Strawberry happily called out "Mommy" when she saw Tang Junyao, whom she hadn't seen for several days.

Tang Junyao took Little Strawberry from Su's mother's arms and said with a smile, "Auntie, thank you for your hard work. Has Little Strawberry been well-behaved these past few days?"

Su's mother felt a great sense of accomplishment. "Oh my, this child is so well-behaved. She doesn't cry or fuss at all, and she's very obedient. I love her so much. Yao Yao, if you're busy on Monday, you can bring her back on Sunday. Auntie is very free."

Tang Junyao smiled awkwardly, "Oh, okay, Auntie, thank you for your help."

Su's mother grinned and said it was no trouble at all, which showed that she genuinely liked it.

Of course, Tang Junyao also felt a little guilty, after all, it was a lie. Oh well, she'll go and apologize in person later.

Su Xue was dressed casually in jeans, a sweater, and a short fleece jacket. "Mom, I'm leaving now."

"Be careful, pay attention, don't let Yueyue fall."

"Okay, don't worry."

Back in the car, Tang Junyao fastened her seatbelt and said, "It seems Auntie really likes Little Strawberry. When are you going to tell her?"

Su Xue fastened her seatbelt, turned around and glanced at the two children who were having a great time playing together. They looked very harmonious. "Let's wait a little longer. I'm a little afraid my mom will interrogate the children's father."

The car started and drove at a steady speed toward the Imperial Capital Amusement Park. "That is a problem."

Su Xue turned slightly to the side. "Do you think my mom will force me to marry a man and become a 'second-hand man'? After all, she cares about the Su family's reputation."

Tang Junyao said firmly, "No, I can tell that Auntie likes Little Strawberry very much. She won't easily find her a stepfather. Don't overthink it."

Su Xue thought about it and realized it made sense. Recently, her mother had been treating her daughter exceptionally well, not just a little bit, but like a real granddaughter. She had completely neglected her, and Su Xue felt a little uncomfortable when no one scolded her.

It's true that people can be a little bit perverse sometimes.
