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

In the middle of the night, Tang Junyao was half asleep. She always slept very well and wouldn't be woken up unless there was a loud noise. Her lips were covered, then her cheeks, earlobes, neck... slowly moving down.

I lingered at each scenic spot, reluctant to leave, wanting more.

She was so sleepy that she could barely keep her eyelids open. The feeling of dampness forced her to wake up. With all her might, she opened her eyes slightly, tilted her head and looked up. A huge black shadow completely enveloped her, and she was hiding in the middle of the shadow.

In the darkness, a pair of deep, ocean-like eyes, burning with fiery intensity, stared intently at her, as if they were about to tear her apart and devour her at any moment.

The meaning behind that look is so clear it's instantly understandable.

Most of his drowsiness had dissipated, and knowing what was about to happen, he didn't stop her from continuing her antics. She closed her eyes, lay down, and asked, "Where have you been? Why are you so late?"

Ji Hancheng didn't stop flirting. She asked her questions, and he did his. It didn't bother him. After a moment, he replied, "My brother asked me to talk about something. We got along well and finished our conversation."

Once she heard about matters between men, she stopped asking questions.

Besides, the other party is the older brother.

But she still wanted to ask about Han Yue for Xi Xi. It couldn't be that Han Yue hadn't done anything all day; he should have contacted her by now.

Lost in thought, before she could even ask a question, she exclaimed, "Um...you..."

In the darkness, even the faint light revealed Ji Hancheng's amused smile and the flame in his eyes. He lowered his voice, his tone hoarse, "Wife, you're sleeping so soundly. I've already undressed you and you still haven't woken up at all. If I had been any gentler, would you still be asleep after we were done?"

Tang Junyao raised her hand and slapped his bare shoulder. It would have been better if she hadn't slapped him, because once she did, the man was unstoppable, like a rocket that had entered orbit and was heading straight for the moon.

The speed was extremely fast, completely out of control. After about an hour, the pace slowed down, and a hoarse voice asked, "Is there that in the room?"

Tang Junyao's eyes were misty and tearful, sparkling like stars. Her cheeks were flushed, making her look adorable and irresistible, so much so that one couldn't help but want to continue picking her.

Hearing this, she snapped out of her reverie and replied in a soft, sweet voice, "What do you think?"

Ji Hancheng paused, leaned down, half-lying on top of her, and kissed her lips. He stopped abruptly halfway and tentatively asked, "Yaoyao."

She was really annoyed when the flirting suddenly stopped; she didn't seem happy about it. "What?"

A lower, more subdued voice came from beside him, "Let's have a daughter, and I'll take care of you."

He wasn't by her side when she gave birth to their son, and he really wanted to make up for that regret and accompany her through the process of nurturing life again.

The video of Lu Jinnan giving birth that he sent him back then is still saved on his phone.

Tang Junyao finally came to her senses. She didn't mind, but sometimes she felt that Xiaoyouzi was lonely, always alone. Although her great-grandfather and grandparents followed her around, there were no other children to play with.

When she was in Blue City, she played with Little Strawberry. Little Grapefruit wasn't as aloof and didn't talk much. But now she seems to be getting more and more aloof. Sometimes she just says "hmm" to end all her questions.

The chat killer.

Ji Hancheng could actually let his emotions flow naturally when they reached a deep level, but he still chose to discuss it, which was a form of respect—something he had just learned.

A moment later, as his desire was about to dissipate, he got the answer he wanted.

"Okay." Tang Junyao smiled slightly and said to him with a firm look in her eyes.

A single word encapsulated all the emotions, completely unsettling Ji Hancheng.

Having obtained the pass, it would be foolish not to go in.

The pattering rain outside the window pattered against the courtyard, and every sound clearly reached Tang Junyao's ears, who was immersed in another world. It blended into Ji Hancheng's movements, moving in the same rhythm.

She didn't know when the rain outside the window would stop; it sounded like the prelude to a storm.

Early the next morning.

Lan Yunchen personally went to the airport to send a private jet to take Yuan Shu and Ji Hang onto the plane, and also arranged for a group of bodyguards to accompany them.

Yuan Shu disliked overly sentimental farewell scenes, so she called Ji Hancheng to tell him that they had already left and that they were already on the plane waiting for takeoff when she called.

Last night we agreed to go back at 10 pm, but Yuan Shu and Ji Hang moved the time up because they didn't want to take up the young people's time. The plane took off at 8 pm, while Tang Junyao was still sleeping.

Ji Hancheng secretly turned off Tang Junyao's phone alarm. He went too far last night; it was hard on Yaoyao because of planting that little cotton-padded jacket.

As they went downstairs, Shen Muyun, Lan Chumu, Lan Yunchen, Lan Yunxi, and Xiaoyouzi were already sitting in the restaurant, chatting animatedly at the table.

When Lan Chumu saw him come down, he showed no airs of a billionaire, just like an ordinary family getting up early. He warmly greeted him, "Come, come, Hancheng, come and try our Lancheng breakfast."

The Lan family has always had a very good family atmosphere, and since the betrothal gifts and dowry were already given yesterday, there's nothing to be shy about.

Ji Hancheng strode towards the restaurant and greeted them politely, "Uncle, Aunt, Big Brother, good morning, Xixi."

The act of calling out to him made Lan Yunchen look up at him, and he couldn't help but marvel at the great power of love.

Lan Yunxi smiled gently, her eyes clear as water, and her voice sweet, "Good morning, brother-in-law. Where's my sister? Is she still sleeping?"

Ji Hancheng cleared his throat awkwardly and lied, "Ahem, I guess I was too tired from the flight yesterday."

Little Youzi's little eyes rolled around as she took the spoon back from Shen Muyun's hand and ate by herself. After holding the spoon steadily, she called out to Ji Hancheng, "Daddy."

This behavior is an act, a way of seeking praise.

Ji Hancheng glanced at it and saw through it immediately, simply replying with a faint "Hmm."

Seeing that her father didn't praise her, Xiaoyouzi seemed too lazy to keep up the act and handed the spoon back to Shen Muyun. Shen Muyun was immediately amused. What a little rascal!

Lan Yunxi believed Ji Hancheng's words wholeheartedly, thinking that Tang Junyao was really tired. "Okay, brother-in-law, please tell my sister for me later that our competition has been moved up. I have to go to school after I finish eating, so I might not be able to accompany her today."

"Okay," Ji Hancheng replied.

Lan Yunchen curled his lips, lowered his gaze, and stirred the bird's nest in the bowl with his spoon. He didn't believe Ji Hancheng's lame excuse, and he knew without even thinking why Yao Yao was sleeping in.

Ji Hancheng sat down next to Lan Yunchen. Little Youzi was being taken care of by his aunt. This boy was a treasure wherever he went, both at the Ji residence and now at the Lan family. He was the crown prince.

I glanced at my son and realized that my decision last night was right. Someone had to share the burden of spoiling this brat and teach him to protect others.

Otherwise, things would turn upside down.

Ji Hancheng took the bowl and chopsticks from his aunt and expressed his gratitude, saying, "Thank you, Auntie, I can do it myself."

Shen Muyun smiled gracefully, exuding a friendly aura. She quite liked this nephew-in-law. "Don't be shy, make yourself at home."

"OK.

She picked up her bowl and chopsticks, took a shrimp dumpling, and popped it into her mouth. It was indeed delicious; every place has its own unique flavor. Han Yue was in for a treat. Xi Xi asked, "Why was the competition moved up? Wasn't it supposed to be five days? Now, on which day?"

He knew Yao Yao would definitely ask these questions, and if he asked them now, he could report back later.

Lan Yunxi had finished eating. She put down her chopsticks, picked up her bowl, and scooped the last bite of bird's nest into her mouth with a spoon. "The competition is tomorrow, but I don't know the specific reason why it's been moved up. I'll go to the school to check now."

Ji Hancheng nodded, understanding that there must be a reason for everything, and asked again, "How are your matches conducted? Are they one-on-one?"

Lan Yunxi nodded several times to indicate that she agreed. "Yes, there are three people in our team. It's one-on-one, and whoever takes the least time wins. It's best of three."

Some things are too tiring to talk about over a phone, so Lan Yunxi prefers to ask directly. Therefore, she still plans to go to the school.

After understanding the problem, Ji Hancheng nodded and continued to eat his breakfast quietly without saying anything more.

After they finished speaking, Lan Yunchen asked Xixi what she thought, "Are you really not going to let your brother participate in your competition?"

Shen Muyun and Lan Chumu exchanged questioning glances, quietly waiting for Xixi's answer.

Receiving the three people's direct questioning gazes, Lan Yunxi crossed her hands to indicate no, "No, if you go, my identity will be in jeopardy. There are definitely people at the school who know you. We can't afford that possibility."

"Oh, Dad, Mom, brother, please let me finish my studies in college quietly. I promise I'll call you if I need anything."

The three shook their heads and smiled in unison, ultimately agreeing not to go.

It's a good thing that the little girl wants to improve herself.

After Lan Yunxi left, Ji Hancheng kindly took out his phone and sent a message to Han Yue, "There's a competition tomorrow, and I need to work overtime tonight. Buy some kidney tonics to prepare, so you don't end up like Ji Mingyuan."

The message went unanswered; there was no response from Han Yue, who was undoubtedly still asleep.

Lan Yunxi will definitely be quite busy today because of tomorrow's competition. She will only be free the day after tomorrow. Today is Saturday, tomorrow is Sunday, and she has classes on Monday. She feels a little sorry that she can't play with the older sisters since they came.

On her way to school, she typed a message in Fairy Castle: Sisters, I'm sorry I have a competition tomorrow, so I might be busy today and tomorrow and can't take you out to play.

After thinking for a moment, I typed another message: "After the competition tomorrow, I'll treat you to a party. It's a mask party that our department is organizing. It'll be a lot of fun. I'll go get you some outfits."

Continuing with the last point: I have classes every day lately, sob sob sob, I can only hang out with you guys in the evenings. The professors teaching my classes are all my favorites, I'd get yelled at if I missed one of their classes.

Lan Yunxi is indeed a little princess, but she is very serious about her studies and never takes leave for personal reasons.

The last time she went to Beijing was because she had completed all her credits ahead of time and achieved the required grades, so she graduated early. Now she has also passed the postgraduate entrance examination and is trying her best to shorten her time on campus.

She wants to be in a relationship, but she doesn't want to lose herself because of a boy. Her studies and her ideals shouldn't be abandoned because of a relationship. That's not who Lan Yunxi is.

She can try her best to shorten the study time and complete the credits ahead of schedule, but she cannot stop or give up halfway.
