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

Han Yue drove straight to the Blue City Hotel after leaving the manor.

They bumped into Lu Jinnan and his wife, who were returning from outings. Han Yue's mood was very low inside the elevator, and even Su Xue could feel it.

Su Xue: Could it be that Xi Xi rejected Han Yue? That doesn't seem realistic. Xi Xi really likes him.

Lu Jinnan put his arm around Su Xue's shoulder, nudged Han Yue's elbow, and asked with concern, "What's wrong?"

After all these years of joking around, Han Yue was clearly acting strangely today. Lu Jinnan suspected that something important had happened. Han Yue rarely had such a low mood unless it was something he strongly disliked.

Han Yue said calmly, "I'm going back to the capital."

So that means something's happened. Without hesitation, Lu Jinnan decided, "I'll go back with you."

Lu Jinnan made the decision without asking Su Xue's opinion.

Han Yue refused, "No need, you guys do your thing, you can handle it."

Seeing the serious atmosphere, Su Xue knew something serious must have happened to make Xiao Nan so serious. "Xiao Nan, let's go back together. I miss Yueyue too."

Han Yue understood what the couple meant, so he didn't say anything more. He might stay inside for a few days this time, and if that person insisted that they were selling it, he would be in trouble.

There are ways to resolve this, but it must be handled cleanly, even if it means being detained for a few days for investigation.

As the elevator slowly ascended, Lu Jinnan thought of Lan Yunxi and asked again, "Did you say goodbye to the little princess?"

These two are truly like the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl; they only met for a short time before parting ways, and even the Magpie Bridge didn't disappear so quickly.

Long-distance relationships are quite pitiful.

Han Yue spoke again calmly, "Hmm."

Su Xue: How can you talk to Xi Xi so coldly?

Half an hour later, the three of them bought their plane tickets and arrived in Beijing that evening.

While waiting at the airport, Su Xue sent a message to Tang Junyao and Lan Yunxi: My dears, I have to go back first.

After playing for most of the day, Ji Hancheng and Tang Junyao returned to the manor with their son. In the room, Ji Hancheng had just finished taking a bath, and the little guy was fast asleep, exhausted from playing all day.

Tang Junyao picked up her pajamas to go to the bathroom to take a shower when her phone rang. She picked it up, glanced at it, and frowned slightly as she replied: Why did you suddenly go back today?

Su Xue: I'm telling you, it seems Han Yue is in trouble. Lu Jinnan is worried, so he went over to see if he needs any help. I don't know if Xi Xi knows the specifics.

Tang Junyao didn't reply to the message this time, but turned her gaze to the man who had just finished showering. "Did something happen to Han Yue?"

Ji Hancheng stopped drying his hair, his brows furrowed. "Han Yue didn't tell me."

Tang Junyao immediately thought of Xixi, and without even taking a bath, said worriedly, "I'll go see if Xixi is back yet. It seems that Auntie went to look at custom-made cheongsams today."

Han Yue's sudden departure will surely make Xi Xi sad; I wonder if she's hiding away and crying.

Ji Hancheng strode to the bedside, picked up his phone from the bedside table, and called Han Yue. Han Yue hadn't boarded the plane yet. "What happened?"

He didn't waste any words and asked directly.

Han Yue: "Someone committed a crime in my establishment, insisting that the transaction took place on my premises. They're inviting me for tea. You go do your thing, but ask your wife to do you a favor and go check on her."

The thought of the little girl crying with tears streaming down her face made Han Yue's heart clench with pain.

This time, Ji Hancheng wasn't joking; he solemnly replied, "I've already gone."

For the first time ever, Han Yue said, "Thanks."

Ji Hancheng knew that Han Yue was truly in love; otherwise, he wouldn't have heard words of gratitude from him. He chuckled and said, "Xixi is also my sister-in-law. I'll go back tomorrow."

Han Yue refused, saying, "Let your wife stay with her there for a day. I can handle things here."

"Hmm." That's really thoughtful.

They're probably together now; the little white rabbit can't outmaneuver the big bad wolf.

Tang Junyao pushed open the tightly closed door to Lan Yunxi's room. The room was dark, the curtains were drawn, and the lights were off. She could see a raised body under the blanket.

She sighed, quietly approached, sat down, and patted her through the blanket. "Is our little princess unhappy?"

The person under the blanket reached out and pulled it off, slowly sitting up. Her red and swollen eyes couldn't hide her sadness. Tang Junyao took out a tissue to wipe her sister's tears, sighing inwardly. She knew this day would come, but she didn't expect it to come so soon. "If you're like this, your brother Yue will be worried. Separation is inevitable, but we'll still meet again, as long as it's not a permanent separation."

Lan Yunxi understood the reasoning, but she just couldn't bear to part with him. She couldn't help but sniffle, "Sister, he's gone."

Before Tang Junyao could answer, Lan Yunxi continued, "I kissed him twice."

Seeing the tears welling up in her younger sister's eyes, Tang Junyao understood. She wasn't too shocked, as she had already guessed that Xixi wouldn't be able to hold on for long. Besides, the sudden separation would definitely cause Xixi's mind to be in turmoil, and it was normal for her to give up her pretentious attitude. They liked each other after all.

One was acting, and the other was pretending to be blind. How could someone as insightful as Han Yue not see that Xi Xi still liked him? He was just playing along with Xi Xi's little tantrum.

She wiped away Xixi's tears again, "You're very brave, I believe in your decision."

Han Yue will cherish Xi Xi, right?

Tang Junyao deliberately changed the subject from Han Yue's departure to a more pleasant one, asking, "You kissed him, did he kiss you back?"

Lan Yunxi smiled, a sweet and satisfied smile. "He kissed me, but only on the forehead. Sister, do you think he thinks I'm still too young to kiss me?"

Han Yue really knows his limits. He originally thought that two people who understand each other would kiss passionately goodbye, so why did he just kiss her forehead?

Can he hold back? Well, Ji Hancheng certainly can't.

"No, he might be afraid of scaring you. Who knows how he might kiss you later? Don't be upset. You can come to the capital during your Qingming Festival holiday, or during May Day, or during summer vacation. There are many other holidays. Besides, Han Yue can come anytime after he finishes his business. This distance can't stop your Yue-ge from missing you," Tang Junyao comforted her.

Distance can't stop two people in love. It can overcome any distance, even mountains and rivers.

The only difference is whether one has a heart or not.

As they spoke, the chain on Lan Yunxi's wrist dazzled Tang Junyao. She grabbed her sister's wrist and looked at it closely. It was beautiful and suited Yunxi perfectly, resembling a star. "Did Han Yue give this to you?"

Lan Yunxi nodded happily, pulled her hand back, raised it in the air, and squinted at it. "He said it's Gemini. I'm a Gemini, and I told him that the day I went to pick up Guoguo."

Tang Junyao was surprised again. It turned out that Han Yue remembered everything Xi Xi said. She shook her head helplessly. She didn't expect that such a cold person could be so meticulous. Indeed, you can't judge a book by its cover.

After comforting Lan Yunxi for half an hour, she felt much better. She took out her phone and changed the nickname of Han Yue's main WeChat account to "Prince Consort".

Tang Junyao looked at this title and instantly thought of the title "Ji Meiren," and inexplicably wanted to laugh.

Then Lan Yunxi sent a message to Han Yue. Tang Junyao left the room. This was not something she could see. Her main goal was to make sure that Xixi wasn't sad anymore. The little girl wasn't as fragile as she thought.

Lan Yunxi typed a message in the chat: "Have a safe journey."

Tears welled up again and spread across the screen with a soft patter.

Prince Consort: Okay, little princess, don't cry.

Lan Yunxi, suppressing her tears, replied with sore eyes: Oh.

As soon as I finished replying to the message, tears still silently and uncontrollably streamed down my face, dripping onto the light green sheets and eventually staining them a deep green.

The door to the walk-in closet was open not far away, and two black hats, both belonging to Han Yue, were hanging there.

The plane took off 15 minutes later. Han Yue's air pressure dropped to negative numbers the whole way, and Lu Jinnan and Su Xue didn't dare to talk to him.

Han Guoguo stretched as she walked to the entrance of the Imperial Capital Clinic. Today, without her brother's supervision, she had driven here by herself using the navigation.

A familiar figure walked past her. Han Guoguo turned her head to look and then peered closely. Who else could that figure be but Su Xue's brother?

My savior!

Judging from his back, it seemed that Su Xue's brother was not feeling well. Well, considering he was her benefactor, she decided to check on him. Overwhelmed with kindness, Han Guoguo turned and followed the man in front of her.

Seeing him preparing to enter the emergency room, walking unsteadily and seemingly struggling, Han Guoguo approached, waving her car keys, and asked, "Hi, Young Master Su, long time no see. Are you... feeling unwell?"

Han Guoguo glanced down at the spot Su Yu was pressing on—his stomach. There was also a strong smell of alcohol around him. It seemed he had drunk too much and his stomach was hurting. Why wasn't there an assistant?

Su Yu wasn't cold; he was quite warm. He remembered Han Guoguo. Aside from the time he saved her, he'd also seen her at the hot pot restaurant. This was the third time. His narrow eyes darkened, and his brows furrowed, but he still patiently and politely asked, "Miss Han, are you not feeling well either?"

Han Guoguo stopped shaking the keys and put them in her bag. She kindly reached out to help Su Yu, but Su Yu stepped back and dodged her, saying, "No need, I can manage by myself."

Han Guoguo didn't mind. Firstly, she wanted to express her gratitude, and secondly, out of consideration for Su Xue, she wouldn't expose him since he did a good deed anonymously. "You can call me Dr. Han, or you can call me Han Guoguo. Xiaoxue and I are friends, and I'm also a doctor here. If you feel unwell, I'll take you to see a doctor. You don't need to be so wary of me. I don't intend to flirt with you."

She's not some kind of female hooligan who pounces on every handsome guy she sees.

Besides, he likes Yao Yao and has no intention of making amends; he just wants to thank his benefactor.

Hearing this, Su Yu felt he had overreacted and apologized, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean anything by it."

Han Guoguo accompanied Su Yu to see the doctor and even helped him get the medicine. She acted as if she had come to repay a debt of gratitude. Su Yu expressed his thanks, but the girl was too enthusiastic. It felt like he would be committing a crime to refuse her. Oh well, he probably wouldn't meet her again.
