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

The sky was clear and blue, with cotton-like clouds spread out like a satin, covering the entire sky, clean, pure, and gentle.

The weather is fine, perfect for long journeys and sightseeing, but not for parting, which doesn't quite match today's sunshine.

That's too sad.

2 PM, Beijing Airport.

A large group of people saw Lan Yunchen and Lan Yunxi off, and everyone's expression revealed their reluctance to part.

Ji Hancheng, dressed in a black suit, stood beside Lan Yunchen holding Xiaoyouzi and said reassuringly, "I will arrange things at the research base."

Lan Yunchen trusted Ji Hancheng's abilities and wasn't worried at all. What he was more concerned about was Yao Yao's situation, since she had a criminal record. "Remember what you said when you were playing chess."

Without a second's hesitation, he immediately replied, "I remember, I'll let my older brother know so he can come to the wedding."

Lan Yunchen smiled faintly and remained silent, ignoring Ji Hancheng's words. He patted Xiaoyouzi and whispered to him, "Uncle is gone. Remember to miss Uncle."

The adorable little pomelo opened her arms in Ji Hancheng's arms, letting Lan Yunchen hold her.

Seeing this, Lan Yunchen smiled and kept praising, "Our Lele is so smart. Next time your uncle comes, he'll bring you a fun gift."

"it is good."

Lan Yunxi glanced at her phone every now and then. It was already 2:11. She looked down at her phone, her hand gripping it slightly tighter. Tang Junyao naturally knew what she was waiting for. She went over and hugged her, whispering in her ear, "It's okay. There are plenty of people who love our Xixi. When she returns to Lan City, she will still be that proud and confident little princess."

After speaking, she stepped back and helped her tidy her hair. Today, all three of them were wearing the same dress that Xi Xi had bought, except for Han Guoguo, who was wearing casual ripped jeans and a short black t-shirt.

Su Xue went over and hugged Xi Xi. "Goodbye, little princess. Next time you come, I'll take a day off to be with you. Don't be sad."

Parting always comes too quickly. Although there is a lot of reluctance and many unfinished things, we still have to politely say goodbye.

Lan Yunxi's eyes were slightly red, but she held back her tears and said in a muffled voice, "Goodbye."

This goodbye wasn't just for Su Xue, but also for the capital city, and for Han Yue, who stood silently behind Han Guoguo.

He didn't say a word or reply to any messages from beginning to end, not even a single word of gratitude. Lan Yunxi smiled faintly, as if she were saying her final goodbye.

Han Yue stood quietly behind Han Guoguo, pursing his lips without saying a word. However, the smile seemed extremely irritating to him, and he glanced at it before looking away.

Lu Jinnan, standing next to Han Yue, couldn't stand it anymore. What a blessing it must be for him to have a young girl chasing after him like this, and yet he's still acting all high and mighty. She angrily bumped into him, "Give me some reaction, she's about to leave."

Surprisingly, Han Yue didn't confront Lu Jinnan. Instead, he gave him a sharp look, signaling him to stop his provocation.

Lu Jinnan had been with Han Yue for so long, so of course he knew that Han Yue's expression was unhappy. He didn't want to provoke him, but he was secretly happy. Serves him right for putting on airs. Now the person who likes you is about to fly away. Let's see what you do now.

Han Guoguo suddenly changed her tone and said to Lan Yunxi, who was shrouded in a thin mist, "Xixi, if you find any handsome guys back in Lan City, remember to share them with me. Send them all to the group chat, and we'll find you a good one."

Lan Yunchen, who was talking to Ji Hancheng, suddenly chimed in, glanced at Han Yue who remained silent, and said to Han Guoguo, "Miss Han is joking. We are going back this time because someone in Lancheng has proposed marriage. We want to go back and let Xixi meet him."

Everyone was shocked upon hearing this, unsure whether it was true or false. Even Tang Junyao was unaware of it. She cast a questioning glance at Lan Yunchen, squinting as if to ask, "Brother, how come I didn't know?"

Lan Yunchen only blinked, but eyes can't make a sound, so Tang Junyao couldn't tell the difference between what was real and what wasn't.

Tang Junyao, Han Guoguo, and Su Xue all cast questioning glances at Xixi. Lan Yunxi calmly hid her phone in her pocket, smiled slightly, and said, "What my brother said is true, just like a blind date."

Tang Junyao frowned, feeling that things had suddenly become a bit illogical. She had just sent a confession message that morning, and now she was being asked to go on a blind date?

Knowing Xixi as she does, she wouldn't do such a thing, nor would she go on blind dates. Even her aunt and uncle wouldn't force Xixi to go on blind dates.

So the truth of the matter is...

The next moment, she suddenly realized and said in agreement, "That's fine too. After all, it's in Blue City. If it's a good fit, you can try dating them."

Lan Yunxi and Tang Junyao's eyes met, and they smiled slightly at the same time. Their eyes seemed to say, "Okay."

Han Yue, who was standing at the back, suddenly spoke up, "You can take a taxi home later. I have to go."

These words were naturally spoken to Han Guoguo. Then, he nodded slightly to Lan Yunchen, put on his sunglasses, and walked away with one hand in his pocket.

Lan Yunxi clenched her fists, exhaled, and said to everyone, "Goodbye, brother and sister."

It was already 2:40, past the scheduled time. Lan Yunchen handed Xiaoyouzi to Ji Hancheng and instructed again, "Take good care of Yaoyao. I won't say it a second time. Remember, the Lan family will always be her support."

These words were both an instruction and a threat, and Ji Hancheng understood. "Hmm."

Inside the airport, several people looked up at the sky, each with complicated thoughts. Han Guoguo sighed, hands in his pockets, "Sigh, my sister-in-law is gone. I'll have to stay single and give up."

Lu Jinnan scoffed, "Your brother is just being a jerk; he deserves to be single."

Han Guoguo extended a hand and shook hands with Lu Jinnan, saying, "Soulmate, I suddenly realize you're really smart."

Lu Jinnan shook off her hand in an instant, "Get out."

As they walked out of the airport, Su Xue couldn't help but sigh, "The holiday is over, Yao Yao, when are you planning to go back to work?"

Tang Junyao thought for a moment, "The day after tomorrow."

Su Xue: "Then I'll go back the day after tomorrow. I'm going to Tiss to pack my things first. My mom kept calling me last night to ask when I was going back. My dad said she's lovesick for Yueyue, and I have to go and cure her of this problem."

Tang Junyao chuckled. Her gloomy mood had been somewhat dispelled by Su Xue. Lu Jinnan shamelessly leaned closer, "Didn't Auntie say she missed me? Why don't you take me with you?"

Su Xue thought it was a good idea. "Okay, my brother should be back tomorrow so we can have a good talk."

Lu Jinnan, who had just gotten excited, immediately lost his temper. "Forget it, I'd better think about what gift to bring and come with my parents to propose marriage in a few days."

Ji Hancheng said disdainfully, "What a coward."

Lu Jinnan: Do you think I'm like you, with masochistic tendencies? I value my life.

Lu Jinnan ignored him and said generously to Han Guoguo, "Ye Guo, want to ride in my car?"

Han Guoguo refused, "No need, I have a car."

Lu Jinnan was puzzled. Han Yue had already left, so where did she get the car? "Wild Fruit, let me take you home, so your brother won't come after me."

Han Guoguo refused again, "Thank you so much for insisting on giving me a ride, but I really have a car, so I won't be a third wheel for your family of three. What if the voltage is too low and you stall your car? Take care, and don't bother seeing me off."

Han Guoguo gestured for him to enter, her gesture unusually precise.

Seeing that she insisted, Lu Jinnan didn't press the matter. "Alright, goodbye."

After exchanging a few words, the group got into their respective cars. Before getting into the driver's seat, Ji Hancheng glanced at the Porsche in the corner, a slight smile spreading across his face. He then got into the car expressionlessly, started the engine, and drove away from the airport.

After they left, Han Guoguo walked to a corner, opened the passenger door, sat down, and fastened her seatbelt. "Let's go. No need for the suitcases. Let's go back to Deep Water Bay."

After he finished speaking, the driver still didn't start the car. He still had one hand on the steering wheel and the other hand against the window, smoking. Smoke filled the car. Luckily, Han Guoguo didn't object.

Han Guoguo shook her head. Even the donkey shook its head at this sight, let alone her. "I said, you can't even see the plane anymore, what are you still looking at? Are you waiting for the God of Love to come down and tie your red thread?"

"The Matchmaker is quite busy. He took time out of his busy schedule to set up a thread for you, but you bit it off yourself. You expect the Matchmaker to give you a second chance? Go home, wash up, and go to sleep. Don't count on it."

Han Guoguo continued rummaging through her things, still harboring a grudge. Of course, if Guoguo knew that Lan Yunxi had sent Han Yue that message before leaving, she would definitely smash the car. "Do you think Xixi might have taken a liking to that handsome young man in Lancheng? If she does, I'll have to attend the wedding. Han Duidui, are you coming with me?"

Han Yue finished his last puff of cigarette, threw it away, started the car, and sped off. Han Guoguo swallowed back the last words she wanted to say, "Are you crazy?"

After driving for a while, Han Yue finally calmed down. "I'll take you back to Deep Water Bay. I'm going home."

Han Guoguo had calmed down and, catching her breath, turned to the person in the driver's seat and asked, "Why are you going home?"

Han Yue lied without batting an eye, "Mom wants to arrange a blind date for you, I'll take care of it for you, no need to thank me."

Han Guoguo instantly became furious. "Damn it, did she even get my permission? She hasn't changed at all in all these years. Go back this afternoon and tell her that if she's too free, let her get a dog. I guarantee it'll be able to hit anything you point at."

"What era is this? She still wants to be empress. Does she really think she's a time traveler? If she still wants to be empress, let her find a way to go back in time. This is really too much."

Han Yue turned his head. "What you said makes a lot of sense. Do it yourself."

Han Guoguo slammed herself heavily against the back of the chair, her eyes filled with rejection. "I don't want to see her."

A moment later, Han Guoguo frowned and turned to Han Yue, her expression unusually complicated, "So you're ignoring the little princess because you're a control freak, right?"

Han Yue focused on driving and didn't answer the question, his expression revealing no emotion. "Be quiet, don't bother me. If you don't want to ride, walk back yourself."

Han Guoguo: "Tch, you're so curious. You'll regret it. Mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationships are never easy to get along with. Besides, you're living with a little princess, not your mother. I really don't know what you're agonizing over. Some things, once missed, are missed forever. There's no going back. I advise you to be a decent human being."

Han Yue said coldly, "Not your mother."

Han Guoguo looked at the receding scenery for a moment before saying, "She apologized, so she's my mom."

Han Yue said nothing more, because saying more would be pointless.
