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

The manor was bustling with activity in the afternoon, with servants coming and going in droves.

Several bodyguards in uniforms were setting up a sunshade in the yard. The weather today was lovely, with bright sunshine.

However, spending an afternoon in the sun would still result in a tan, and since they were all girls who cared about their appearance, Lan Yunchen naturally wouldn't allow it.

After arranging things at the company, Lan Yunchen went straight back to the manor in the afternoon. Wearing gray sweatpants and a white short-sleeved shirt, he directed operations in an open space in front of the yard, making arrangements in an orderly and efficient manner.

The little girl, wearing slippers and a beige bucket hat, skipped out of the villa, holding a phone in her hand. She walked towards Lan Yunchen and asked, "Brother, why are you back?"

Upon hearing this, Lan Yunchen turned around and replied with a doting look in his eyes, "This is Xixi's first time having a party at home. Mom said we can't let you have any regrets, so we have to do it right the first time. Can your brother not come back to supervise the work?"

Lan Yunxi squinted her eyes happily, playfully stuck out her tongue, walked closer to her brother, took his arm, and praised him generously, "Brother is the best."

"Whatever makes you happy. Your classmate's brother has already sent someone to pick her up, but when you get off the bus later, you'll have to explain why you blindfolded her," Lan Yunchen said.

Lan Yunxi nodded in understanding. This was the first time she had brought a classmate to her home. She had never brought classmates to the manor before. "I know she will understand."

A man wearing a white polo shirt and light-colored jeans leaned lazily against the entrance of the villa, watching the busy scene in the yard. He showed no intention of helping out, chewing gum and with his hands in his pockets, looking as relaxed as could be.

The courtyard was bustling with activity, while he was bored out of his mind.

Tang Junyao walked down the stairs and immediately saw the man leaning lazily against the door. The man, who was originally dressed in a suit and tie, was now exuding youthful vigor.

"What are you doing leaning against here?" She glanced towards the door and saw her brother busy at work. She glared at him and slapped his smooth arm. "You just stand there watching? You really are..."

Ji Hancheng turned around, still chewing lemon-flavored gum, and put his arm around her waist, giving her a quick peck on the lips. The maid quickly lowered her head as if she hadn't seen it.

He glanced down at her clothes, then at the sun outside, and suggested, "Honey, the sun is really strong today. I suggest you change into something else. White, beige, blue, or even a floral print would be fine. Black absorbs heat."

He was afraid of deflecting the topic of not helping, so when he said that, Tang Junyao peeked outside and saw that it seemed quite hot. "I'll go change my clothes. You go and see if your brother needs any help. Don't just stand there, you're being a bit awkward."

"I understand." He watched Tang Junyao's retreating figure for a while until she was out of sight before turning his gaze away and walking outside.

Ji Hancheng casually strolled over to Lan Yunchen's side, asking without much sincerity, "Need a hand?"

Lan Yunchen turned his head and said, "Son-in-law, you can stay here. If you're really embarrassed, you can go to the door to greet people."

Ji Hancheng: Am I a greeter? He said he'd stay put, but he still assigned me a task.

At the manor's main gate, a man leaned lazily against the car door, waiting to greet guests. His legs were crossed and slightly bent, and he was playing with his phone, looking relaxed, indifferent, and showing no sincerity in picking up people.

A few moments later, three cars arrived at the entrance and parked side by side. After the group got out, two of the cars drove off without stopping for even half a second.

Lu Jinnan and Su Xue always like to wear the same color scheme. Today's theme is light blue. Su Xue is wearing a light blue Korean-style dress and white sneakers, while Lu Jinnan is wearing white pants and a light blue short-sleeved shirt. They are a perfect match.

It's as if you wouldn't know they're a couple if they weren't wearing the same color; they use color to determine the authenticity of their marriage.

Tong Xuxu was blindfolded after getting out of the car. Ji Hancheng first instructed the bodyguards to take her inside, since the others knew where the entrance was.

Upon seeing Ji Hancheng standing by the car door to greet them, Lu Jinnan grinned happily and began to stammer, "Brother Cheng, you're being so sincere! You didn't come out to greet us personally, did you?"

Ji Hancheng gave him a cold look. "There's nothing I can do. Yao Yao ordered it."

It means I listen to my wife; I won't come unless Yao Yao tells me to. It also means I didn't want to come pick you up.

Han Guoguo pushed open the Porsche door, the driver's side window rolled down, and the man wearing dark sunglasses and a white crew neck t-shirt appeared.

Han Yue was patted on the shoulder by a girl in class, and he immediately threw his jacket into the trash can.

"Ji Hancheng, what a great man, absolutely top-notch." Han Guoguo praised him sincerely.

"You look great today," Ji Hancheng returned the compliment.

Su Xue linked arms with Han Guoguo and looked her over for a while. "Tsk tsk tsk, you little rascal, you're quite the hidden gem. You can be so beautiful when you dress up. How about I introduce you to my brother? I'm so excited."

"That's right, sister. I'm a great beauty too, but I'm usually a bit low-key. I can't help it, I'm afraid that if I dress up, too many people will like me and I won't be able to refuse them all. Your brother isn't my type, so don't try to steal the job of matchmaker."

Han Guoguo thought that Su Yu liked Yao Yao, and she didn't want this kind of love that was just filling a void. Who knew when she would have a place in his life?

"Sigh, well, I've lost a beautiful sister-in-law in a flash," Su Xue sighed, feeling regretful.

Lu Jinnan gave Han Guoguo a disdainful look, "Your face is bigger than a plate, and so much thicker..."

After saying that, she gestured to show the thickness. Han Guoguo was in a good mood and not angry at all. She flicked the hair at her collarbone and said, "I'm a lady and I won't argue with you. You're just envious of my beauty right now, I understand. Goodbye, shut up."

Ji Hancheng urged Lu Jinnan and Su Xue, "Get in the car or not? If you don't want to get in, walk in yourself. Just a friendly reminder, it's about 30 kilometers. You can do it if you want to get some exercise."

Upon hearing this, the couple quickly got into the car and sat in the back seat. Who would walk when there's a car? That would be stupid.

After they got into the car, Ji Hancheng gestured with his chin toward the driver's seat of the Porsche and asked, "Turn around or get in?"

"I'll go with you." After saying those three words, he ruthlessly rolled up the car window, not intending to waste any more words with Ji Hancheng.

Han Guoguo understood immediately, quickly opened the passenger door again and got in, licked her lips, and exhaled, "Shouldn't you have told me you were going into the manor when I got out of the car? Did I really have to get out?"

Han Yue, with one hand on the steering wheel and the other elbow resting on the car window, said calmly, "I can't help you with your intelligence. Why don't you ask Ji Hancheng's current wife if she can have brain surgery?"

Han Guoguo endured it; she had to endure it. If she didn't bite him to death before getting off the bus, she wouldn't be a Han.

The car quickly arrived at the yard. Han Yue parked the car, and as soon as he did, Han Guoguo grabbed Han Yue's arm and bit him hard before letting go, feeling relieved.

Twisting her waist, feeling cheerful, Han Yue's arms were covered in lipstick. She took out a lipstick from her bag to touch up her color again.

Let's see how you explain this later. Hmph, I'll torture you to death for your foul mouth.

Stepping out of the car, he walked towards Lan Yunxi and Lan Yunchen, who were setting up a tent. "Xi Xi."

Lan Yunxi turned her head and looked at the stunningly beautiful Guoguo in amazement, saying, "Sister, you're like a completely different person, so beautiful."

Han Guoguo shrugged slightly and smiled, "That's right, hello President Lan."

Lan Yunchen politely replied, "Welcome."

After exchanging polite greetings, Lan Yunchen went about his business, showing no intention of interfering in the girl's conversation.

Han Yue didn't get out of the car. He took out a tissue and wiped his arm. He wiped off the lipstick, but he couldn't remove the teeth marks. He also didn't have a long-sleeved shirt with him.

I wonder if the little girl will be startled by the sudden arrival.

After getting out of the car, Lu Jinnan searched for Han Yue but couldn't find him. He swayed towards Han Guoguo and asked, "Where's your brother? Did he leave?"

Lan Yunxi was taken aback upon hearing this, tightened her grip on Han Guoguo's hand, and held her breath, her heart pounding.

Han Guoguo naturally noticed this subtle movement. After all, her arm wasn't paralyzed, so how could she not feel it gripping so tightly? She patted Lan Yunxi's hands and comforted her, "Don't be nervous. Show your strength. He's the one at fault. Why are you nervous?"

However, Xi Xi's heart was not as strong as Han Guoguo thought. Before Han Yue came out, she dragged her and Su Xue into the villa to find Tang Junyao.

Ji Hancheng strode to Han Yue's driver's seat, kindly opened the car door for him, spread one hand on the roof, and leaned lazily against the car, teasingly saying, "You're paralyzed, still too scared to get out? My sister-in-law rushed into her room as soon as she heard you were here."

Han Yue paused in wiping his arm, then threw the used tissue at Ji Hancheng, which fell to the ground. "I can't exactly climb walls like you; I don't have your skills."

Even after his scandals were exposed, Ji Hancheng wasn't angry. After all, he had a wife now and was planning for a second child. Han Yue hadn't even caught up with him yet. "I've got my marriage certificate. You can talk about catching up with Xixi later."

Han Yue chuckled and glanced at his smug friend. "If you don't pull me back, I can go even faster. If you want me to call you brother-in-law, don't try anything funny."

Han Yue knew his friend and best buddy too well. He was full of little schemes. It was good enough if he helped but didn't sabotage the relationship. Don't even think about expecting anything from him.

Ji Hancheng felt guilty, realizing he had indeed dragged things down a bit and had also managed to convince Xixi to persevere. He touched his nose, patted Han Yue's shoulder, and said, "Keep it up. I'll wait until you call me brother-in-law. That's a pretty novel way to address you, and it sounds nice. Why don't you call me that in advance?"

"Get lost." He's so arrogant. It's a good thing he didn't have a daughter, otherwise, I'd have something to watch, Han Yue thought.

After Lan Yunchen finished setting up the sunshade, he saw Han Yue standing upright. He did not behave rudely towards this uninvited person. After all, he appreciated Han Yue's efficiency and neatness from their conversation that night.

"President Han, you also have time to visit my humble abode," Lan Yunchen greeted him.

Han Yue twitched his lips into a smile, then looked around the entire estate. It was a paradise, nestled against the mountains and beside the water, with fresh air and birdsong. It was quite similar to his home, though this villa had a slightly more princess-like feel.

"Mr. Lan, you're joking. If your manor is a humble abode, then my home is probably a slum," Han Yue explained.

Lu Jinnan unconsciously glanced at his surroundings. If this was called a humble abode, what would his home be called? A slum in a remote mountain valley, or even a primitive tribe.

After exchanging a few pleasantries with Lan Yunchen and the others, Han Yue pulled Lu Jinnan toward the parking space and opened the trunk.

The moment the trunk was opened, Lu Jinnan was stunned. He shoved the scheming Han Yue aside and cursed, "Damn it, is it appropriate for you to buy so much stuff? You didn't even tell me beforehand. I was empty-handed, and you filled the trunk. We're staying in the same hotel, and you're doing something big behind the scenes."

Han Yue kicked him. "Hurry up, or sew your mouth shut if you don't want to leave empty-handed."

Lu Jinnan reluctantly took the items out of the trunk and placed them on the ground, one by one, muttering, "What did you buy? All these boxes are custom-made. I don't even dare to put them down properly."

Han Yue: "Jewelry, watches, tea, wine............"

Lu Jinnan: You buy whatever is expensive, you're rich and willful, taking advantage of his empty bags.

Han Yue was carrying large and small bags, with Lu Jinnan following behind, grumbling. They bumped into Shen Muyun, who was coming out. She was wearing a modern Chinese-style cheongsam with a champagne-colored wide leaf print.

The cheongsam, made of jacquard satin fabric, features lifelike leaves and champagne-colored silk threads. Her hair is styled in an updo and adorned with a jade hairpin, exuding a gentle, elegant, and dignified charm, full of femininity.

She looked like a classical beauty who had stepped out of a painting. Even Lu Jinnan was taken aback when he saw her. It was no wonder that Xi Xi had such good looks.

Shen Muyun was still holding Xiaoyouzi in her arms. The little guy nodded at Lu Jinnan and Han Yue as if to say hello. It was unclear who he had learned that from.

That's really funny.

Han Yue stopped and greeted her politely, "Hello, Auntie, I'm Han Yue. This is my first time visiting the manor, and I didn't know what you like, so I brought a small gift."

His tone was impeccable, polite, and socially adept.
