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

President Han?

He's not called Brother Yue anymore; he's got quite a temper.

Well, it's too late for the girl to say anything now; she must still be holding her breath.

After a moment of silence, Han Yue picked up a drink, his eyes darkening slightly. He clinked glasses with Lan Yunxi across the glass, his tone completely natural, as if it were just a simple greeting, a polite response: "It was nothing, no need to thank me."

Didn't he say he was going to pursue her? Why is he being so cold? Hmph, well, she'll just give him a perfunctory thank you.

After saying that, Lan Yunxi tilted her head back and finished the drink in the glass. She gripped the crystal glass tightly, and because of the force, her fair fingers became even more bloodless. The little girl was not good at hiding her emotions, and she puffed out her cheeks.

Little Yuzi copied the action from her, and it was exactly the same. Han Yue didn't turn to look at the girl next to him, but he knew the answer from Ji Hancheng's son's face, and he curled his lips.

He glanced down at his phone, took it out, and typed two words on a screen: "Worth it."

Lan Yunxi's phone rang. She took it out and saw two words: Worth it? What did that mean? Did it mean she was worth him doing this for?

Ahhhhhh, calm down, calm down, don't panic.

Lan Yunxi's face flushed slightly, and her ears also became hot. She could hear her own heart pounding. She covered her face with her hands to cool it down, and the corners of her mouth turned up. She couldn't help but feel happy. In her heart, she scolded herself for being so weak that she couldn't stay calm.

Tong Xuxu turned her head to get some food and noticed Xixi's flushed face. She asked, puzzled, "Xixi, why is your face so red? Are you hot?"

Tong Xuxu: It shouldn't be hot. There are ice blocks all around, so it's very cool.

One sentence made everyone at the table turn their heads to look in Lan Yunxi's direction, including Xiaoyouzi. She imitated her aunt, placing her hands on the table, covering her face with her hands and patting it, while her little bottom wiggled back and forth on Ji Hancheng's lap.

With a smack, Little Yuzu's bottom was slapped, and her chubby little bottom jiggled a few times. It was very bouncy. "Steady up, either don't move or get down."

He used to sit improperly, but after arriving in Blue City, he found that the little guy had become much more lively and had many more tricks up his sleeve.

Indeed, children raised in different family atmospheres have different personalities. The Lan family is like a peaceful harbor, warm, loving, happy, and full of vitality, just like goldfish in a stream can grow up happily and freely.

It seems the atmosphere in the Ji family needs a change.

Ji Hancheng's action helped distract Lan Yunxi and reduce the awkwardness. For a moment, everyone's attention was on Xiaoyouzi.

Tang Junyao nudged him with her elbow to express her displeasure. Why was she patting her son for no reason? Didn't her son have any dignity? "What are you doing? It's just a child's nature."

After saying that, she rubbed the spot where her son had been hit, feeling heartbroken. The man's hands were so big, the contact area when he slapped him was so large, no wonder it hurt.

Ji Hancheng naturally noticed her distress and gestured to the woman beside him to let her see for herself where her son was swaying.

Tang Junyao looked in the direction he pointed to, and when she did, her face turned slightly red, as if she had been slightly tipsy.

She secretly pinched his thigh under the table, but Ji Hancheng didn't even flinch.

Even the most pleasant atmosphere will eventually come to an end. Isn't the adult world all about saying goodbye?

Han Guoguo stood up, raised her glass, held it level with one hand, and waved a can of beer in front of everyone. "Brothers and sisters, I'm going back to the capital tonight. Come on, let's toast to our friendship, may it last forever and be stronger than gold."

The women all stood up, ignoring the men at the table, and one by one they touched each other, speaking through the boys, "Cheers, may our friendship last forever!"

Several women raised their glasses in unison, clinking them together. The crisp sound of the glasses colliding echoed in the air, like music from glass.

The simple farewell ceremony concluded.

After everyone sat down, Ji Hancheng asked Han Guoguo, "You're so dedicated, should I ask you for a few more days off?"

With Ji Hancheng's abilities, it would indeed be a matter of a word, but Han Guoguo's purpose in coming this time was to cheer for Xixi, and also to drag Han Yue over and boost her popularity. Once the task was completed, she would have to return to her post.

She's a career-minded young woman. Although she could quit her job and live the life of a pampered rich girl, lying in bed doing nothing, she didn't want to ruin herself. She refused, saying, "No need. I'm a very professional woman. Besides, it's already an exception for me to take four days off right after starting this job. The hospital wouldn't have approved it if I hadn't pleaded with them. I want to go back to work."

Lan Yunxi was touched, but also naive and curious. Could someone who had just started working really take so many days off? It might be possible with the Han family's power, but based on her understanding of Guoguo, she wouldn't do that.

"Sister Guoguo, what excuse did you use to ask for so many days off?"

Lan Yunxi felt embarrassed, after all, he had taken so many days off to watch her match, and now he hadn't even taken her out for a late-night getaway.

I'll probably get back to Beijing around midnight, and I have to go to work tomorrow, so I'm in a rush.

Lan Yunxi felt a deep sense of guilt.

Han Guoguo, who was drinking beer, sprayed it out. Han Yue, sitting next to her, was innocently caught in the crossfire. He casually pulled back the empty chair next to him, and his own chair naturally moved to the side. He then grabbed several tissues to wipe the beer off his arm.

"Even if the manor doesn't have a fountain, it's not your place to perform for entertainment."

Han Yue said with dissatisfaction.

Lan Yunxi kept staring at Han Guoguo and didn't notice that the man next to her had already sat down. The two were only a few centimeters apart. Completely unaware, her small eyes were still waiting for an answer, "Are you alright?"

Han Guoguo waved her hand, beer still dripping from her chin. She grabbed four tissues to wipe it off. Feeling guilty, she didn't argue with Han Yue, but just glared at him with dissatisfaction.

If she hadn't used him as an excuse to ask for leave, she definitely would have drunk another glass without stopping and sprayed it directly in Han Duidui's face.

Han Guoguo imagined the scene in her mind, and felt a sense of relief...

Imagining that she would start lying later, she casually ran her fingers through her hair and said, "Well, I just made up a reason. The HR people at our hospital are really nice."

Su Xue and Tang Junyao, who knew the inside story, were both suppressing their laughter. They had even come up with an excuse together, but Han Guoguo was determined to do it her own way. Out of the corner of her eye, she glanced at Han Yue and saw him squinting as if he suspected Han Guoguo.

Changing the subject, she said to Xixi, "Xixi, I'm waiting for you in the capital."

I hope that next time I pick you up from the airport, you'll call me "sister-in-law" instead of "Xi Xi," and you won't call me "sister." It's rare for Han Yue to fall for a girl. If I can't bring her home, I'm afraid he'll become a monk. This is what Han Guoguo is thinking as she looks at Lan Yunxi.

Lan Yunxi smiled gently, a beam of light shining on her, her smile captivating. "Okay."

Han Guoguo then said to Tong Xuxu, "Sister, welcome to the capital! I really like your personality."

Tong Xuxu made an extremely cool OK sign and held it in the air.

To lighten the mood, Lu Jinnan suggested playing cards, partly to avenge the humiliation he suffered on the plane, where he had been frustrated for several hours and was determined to turn the tables today.

Ji Hancheng and his friends were still playing Double Deduction, a game of four people per round.

Tong Xuxu glanced at the remaining people, secretly counted, and found there were four of them. She suggested, "They're playing cards, let's play cards too. Xixi, want to join?"

Seeing that no one objected, Tong Xuxu continued to make arrangements, "I'll team up with Sister Guoguo, and Xixi, you can team up with the expert."

"Ah... Oh." Lan Yunxi replied with her eyes downcast, her heart pounding erratically all night.

Little Yuzi picked up the cards they threw out and folded them back and forth. They were the Big Joker and the Little Joker. All eight Jokers from the four decks were in Little Yuzi's hands, and he was having a lot of fun.

He also occasionally caused trouble, participating in the game and playing his own King of Spades.

Lu Jinnan shrugged with a smile, "If you show up in front of your father more often, you'll be like a king."

Little Pomelo: My hand is a royal flush, isn't that awesome?

Han Guoguo felt that just playing cards was not interesting; there had to be a stake, and an unknown stake was more imaginative, just like when Han Yue lent her his phone last time—she could ask for anything.

The more I think about it, the better I feel this idea is.

Han Guoguo: "Let's bet something, not money. Betting money hurts feelings, and besides, I'm short on cash."

Su Xue quickly replied, "Big sister, are you serious? Do you have a huge misunderstanding of the word 'shy'?"

Han Yue exposed: "The money was transferred back."

Han Guoguo instinctively clutched her pocket, acting like a rogue. Money that's in your pocket isn't going to leave. "I earned it with my intelligence, why should I give it to you? I won't give it to you."

The 3 million was earned by taking up phone memory. It wasn't the photos he took that allowed him to know Xixi's bedroom, the diamond hanging chair, and the way Xixi held the flowers. It's only because she's generous that he could get away with such a large sum as 3 million. Without 100 million, this young lady wouldn't stand a chance.

Tong Xuxu was worried that they would gamble, since she didn't have any money and had heard that wealthy families often had millions of dollars, which she couldn't afford. This was her first time visiting Xixi's family, and she originally thought that Xixi's family was just "good," but little did she know that the word "wealthy" couldn't even begin to describe it.

This man was able to enter the Lan family, so his family background must be very good. Since they are all in the same circle, a strange sense of inferiority arises.

Seeing that no one spoke up, Han Guoguo quickly said, "Then I'll state my conditions. To appease the loser, I think the winner needs to agree to three conditions proposed by the loser. The winner must agree to all the conditions proposed by the loser. The conditions are to be determined."

Su Xue: "............." Guoguo's imagination runs wild.

Lu Jinnan kicked Han Yue, "Is your sister an alien? Her thoughts are so different from ordinary people?"

Then, turning to Han Guoguo, he said, "Ye Guo, why don't you just treat your brother like a wishing tree and make a wish directly to him? Isn't all this tiring?"

Han Guoguo spread her hands and shrugged, "Is making a wish the same as accepting the consequences of a bet?"

Ji Hancheng sensed a conspiracy, and with a smirk, he started playing cards. Little Yuzi in his arms kicked her legs, using his stomach as leverage to reach the cards on the table.

The little guy was having a great time.

Lan Yunxi was completely bewildered. What kind of conditions were these? She tilted her head and asked seriously, "What if you lose and the conditions you set are ones we can't meet?"

The word "us" made Han Yue's lips twitch with pleasure. "There's nothing we can't do. Come on."

"Ah, but the conditions weren't mentioned. What if..." Lan Yunxi still wanted to know the conditions before starting.

Han Yue gave him a reassuring look and said, "I'll take care of it."

Does "I'll take the fall" mean he'll protect her if they lose?

A slight blush crept onto her face again. Lan Yunxi raised one hand to cover one side of her face. Han Yue was sitting next to her, and it was hard to ignore his presence.

Han Guoguo glanced at the two of them and smiled where they couldn't see. "That's right, if there's any punishment, isn't there a man too? Are we three women supposed to be punished? Let's begin."

Lu Jinnan exposed, "Wild Fruit, you might as well just grab a megaphone and tell your brother you're going to punish him."

These conditions seemed tailor-made for Han Yue: three women, one man, and a card game. For some reason, Han Yue looked a bit like a women's committee member at this moment.

While shuffling the cards, Han Guoguo said, "This won't do, it's too obvious. This kind of thing requires him to be willing and he can't beat me up."

Han Yue couldn't stand watching his sister's clumsy shuffling. He snatched the cards away and quickly pulled the two decks together in his hand, forming a bridge. He then quickly pulled them back and merged them again, his movements fluid and stylish. His already long and well-defined fingers were on full display at that moment.

Lan Yunxi's gaze was immediately drawn to it, and she was stunned. She was amazed that someone could play like this; she rarely did anything like it. Xu Xu had taught her how to play it. "Is this easy to learn?" she asked.

She was involuntarily drawn to this action. The girl looked innocent, but she liked cool things, like computers, like Han Yue, and now this card skill was no exception.

Han Yue's lips twitched. "You can be cool anywhere," he thought. "I'll teach you later."

Lan Yunxi asked, "Oh, will it take a long time?"

Han Yue: "It depends on the teacher's skills."

Han Guoguo: Could you be any more narcissistic?
