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

I waited for a long time.

Lan Yunchen spoke gently again, "Come in and sit down. Is there anything you find so hard to say in front of your brother? Did Xixi attack someone else's computer again last night? Don't hide it from me, I can tell just by looking at her little eyes."

He deliberately brought up Xixi's situation to ease the tension.

As expected, Tang Junyao laughed awkwardly and scratched her neck sheepishly, "She just played around for a little while, she didn't do anything."

Lan Yunchen led Tang Junyao inside, then poured her a cup of hot water to warm her up. "Go ahead and speak. We're family. There's nothing you need to overthink before you speak."

Tang Junyao sat down on the sofa, holding the water her brother had poured, and took a deep breath. "I want to talk to you about Lele's father."

Lan Yunchen adjusted his newly put-on gold-rimmed glasses, adding a touch of refined elegance to his already handsome features. He looked approachable and easy to get along with. He crossed his legs and smiled slightly. "The Ji family of the capital, Ji Hancheng?"

After learning that Ji Hancheng had visited Blue City 175 times without seeing her, she had guessed this possibility. However, hearing it with her own ears was still slightly shocking. "Brother, when did you find out?"

Lan Yunchen lifted his eyelids slightly, as if thinking, "The second week after I recognized you."

Yes, Lan Yunchen was right. When they recognized their younger sister, the whole family was very excited and took great care of her, afraid that they would scare her away if they were too excited. At that time, Tang Junyao did not open her heart to them, nor did she tell them about her pregnancy immediately.

It was the second week after they recognized each other when Tang Junyao felt nauseous one morning. Shen Muyun discovered this and learned that she was pregnant.

Tang Junyao didn't expect it to happen so soon. More than two years had passed, and her brothers hadn't even asked about Lele's father.

Back in Lancheng, her aunt and uncle took great care of her after they found out she and Xiaoxue were pregnant. They even went to the capital to bring her two godmothers over to take care of her.

I was afraid she wouldn't be used to it or feel comfortable.

The only thing I didn't ask about was Ji Hancheng.

Lan Yunchen pushed up his glasses again, put his legs down, sat up straight, and slowly said, "Yaoyao, as long as you don't say anything, I won't ask. You have your own considerations. Neither your uncle nor your brother can interfere with your feelings. But if someone wants to marry you, they must get the consent of our Lan family."

"Whether it's Xixi or you, even if neither of you wants to get married, the Lan family can afford to support you. But if you truly like someone, I won't stop you. However, there's one condition: he has to show us his sincerity in marrying you. Our Lan family's daughters have enough confidence to stand up for themselves, understand?"

Tang Junyao broke down again. Her brother always spoiled her so much, to the point of having no limits. She cried a lot today, and was also very moved. With a nasal voice, she said, "Brother, I understand."

Lan Yunchen sat down next to her, ruffled her hair, and naturally handed her a tissue. "You two are together." It was a statement, not a question.

Tang Junyao no longer hid anything and nodded.

Lan Yunchen recalled the bodyguard saying that Ji the scoundrel had bought a helmet a few days ago, which showed that he was quite generous when it came to spending money. "If he has any bad habits, don't indulge him. You have the Lan family behind you, so you don't need to suffer any grievances."

The matter of feelings is Yao Yao's own business. They are already together, which means that Yao Yao has feelings for this jerk. He can't just forcibly break them up, nor can he make things difficult for Yao Yao, after all, he is Lele's biological father. But things can't be left so simply.

Tang Junyao wanted to confirm this matter 175 times. Although her grandfather and Lu Jinnan had both said so, she still wanted to confirm it with her brother, "Has Brother Ji Hancheng come to Blue City to look for me?"

Lan Yunchen knew that his sister would find out about this sooner or later. Ji was quite punctual every month, and his perseverance was quite good, having persisted for more than two years. This was one of the reasons why Lan Yunchen didn't make things difficult for him.

He admitted truthfully, "Yes, I did look for them, but I stopped them."

This at least shows that Ji the Scoundrel does care about his sister.

Tang Junyao understood, but she didn't blame her brother; in fact, she was grateful to him.

"Strange brother?"

Tang Junyao immediately shook her head, "It's no trouble, thank you, brother." Then she smiled at Lan Yunchen.

They chatted in Lan Yunchen's room for another 10 minutes before coming out. When they came out, they felt refreshed and invigorated, as if all their meridians were open and they were incredibly relaxed. They could finally let go of the things that had been weighing on their minds for so long.

When they returned to the room, Lan Yunxi, Xiaoyouzi, and Xiaocaomei were playing games, and Lan Yunxi's laughter could be heard from inside from time to time.

Hearing the door open, Su Xue quietly walked into the living room. "You didn't go and confess to your brother, did you?"

"Yes, you guessed right."

Su Xue was both worried and curious, "How did it go? Has Brother Yunchen accepted Young Master Ji yet?"

Tang Junyao recalled her brother's words and said while changing her shoes, "It shouldn't be. My brother said that it's not easy to marry a daughter of the Lan family; you need to show sincerity."

Su Xue shook her head repeatedly upon hearing this, "Tsk tsk tsk, I need to sympathize with Young Master Ji for three minutes. It's going to be difficult for him to remarry you."

If I can't win over my brother-in-law, I probably won't be able to remarry.

restaurant.

At the dining table, Lan Chumu smiled and said, "Yaoyao's uncle is going back tomorrow."

Tang Junyao paused, her hand holding the chopsticks still, and asked in confusion, "Didn't you say you'd stay a few more days? I haven't taken you out to play yet."

Lan Yunxi got anxious and put down her chopsticks. "Dad, you lied to me again. You said I could stay in the capital for half a month. Today is only the second day. I've already arranged all my classes. You're so annoying."

Not only Tang Junyao, but even Su Xue was surprised; this decision was somewhat sudden.

Shen Muyun patted her husband's hand, then looked at her sulking daughter and explained, "Dad didn't ask you to go back. When have we ever broken our promises to you? It's just that Mom and Dad went back first. The company can't be left without anyone. Let your brother stay here with you."

Upon hearing this, Lan Yunxi's previously dim eyes instantly lit up, her little head bobbed incessantly, and her previously upturned lips now curved to the sides.

But Tang Junyao was still reluctant to let her uncle and his family leave.

But the Lan family is a large company. They can afford to be without a leader for a day, but not for half a month. Tang Junyao tried to persuade him to stay a few more days, "Uncle, can't you stay a few more days?"

Lan Chumu's main purpose in coming this time was to visit his sister's grave. The most important thing had been done, and the rest was up to Yunchen. "Next time, Uncle, please arrange everything in advance and then come and stay for a while longer."

Since her uncle had said so, Tang Junyao couldn't refuse. "Alright, then I'll take you to the airport tomorrow."

Shen Muyun refused, saying, "Don't bother seeing them off. Lele and Yueyue need to sleep, so don't make a fuss. It's not like they've disappeared. We can come over anytime we want."

Lan Yunchen spoke up, "Don't worry, I'll deliver it tomorrow."

After dinner, Tang Junyao asked Baihu for the car keys. Baihu had driven the car when they arrived, so they were naturally with him.

She went to a specialty products market in the capital and bought a lot of things.

Shen Muyun and Lan Chumu went to Tang Junyao's room to give their daughter some instructions, and the couple stood at the door and rang the doorbell.

Xixi opened the door. She skipped over, tilting her head, and said, "Daddy, Mommy."

Shen Muyun affectionately pinched her daughter's cheek, glanced around, and asked, "Where's your sister? Did she go out?"

Xi Xi kept nodding, "My sister said there are a lot of delicious local specialties here, she'll go pick some out for you to take back and try."

Shen Muyun was touched but also reproachful, "This child never says a word, and is always in such a hurry to do anything."

Lan Chumu nodded in agreement, "Yaoyao is a thoughtful child, and you are clearly very happy."

Shen Muyun said softly, "How could I not be happy? I just feel sorry for this child running out so late at night."

Lan Chumu: "Don't worry, someone is with you. Yao Yao is an adult now, she has her own opinions."

Neither of them continued the topic. Lan Chumu picked up Xiaoyouzi first, saying, "Lele, give your great-uncle a kiss. Your great-uncle is leaving tomorrow."

After saying that, Xiaoyouzi cooperated by giving Lan Chumu a quick kiss on the left cheek.

Lan Yunxi wanted a kiss too, "Auntie wants one too, Lele, hurry up and give Auntie a kiss."

Another smack, and the whole suite was filled with smacks. There was Xiaoyouzi kissing Xixi, Xixi kissing Xiaoyouzi and Xiaocaomei, and Shen Muyun kissing Xiaoyouzi and the others. The atmosphere was warm and harmonious, with a hint of reluctance mixed in.
