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

The day after Han Yue was imprisoned.

Tang Junyao and Ji Hancheng returned to the Ji residence because Grandpa Ji missed Xiaoyouzi and also asked her to stay at the Ji residence for a few days.

She naturally wouldn't object; Old Master Ji treated her like his own granddaughter.

Ji Hancheng personally drove her to work, the man holding her hand affectionately, driving with one hand and turning the steering wheel. His phone rang at an inopportune moment; it was Lan Yunxi calling, and it was a video call.

Xi Xi woke up so early this morning. Tang Junyao remembered that Lan Yunxi had said there were no classes in the morning when she came back. Tang Junyao answered the phone with one hand and smiled slightly, "Xi Xi, you're up so early. Didn't you say there were no classes this morning...?"

Before Tang Junyao could finish speaking, Lan Yunxi interrupted her rudely for the first time, her tone very anxious, "Sister, have you seen Yue-ge these past two days? I can't contact him. Could you ask my brother-in-law if something happened to him?"

Han Yue did mention not receiving any messages the night he got off the plane, but it's impossible for him to not reply to any messages all day long. This made Lan Yunxi, who was far away in Lan City, very uneasy. She felt that Han Yue had returned in a hurry and was now missing. Could something have happened to him? Lan Yunxi, who usually had a good sleep, had insomnia last night and stayed up until this time to ask Tang Junyao for confirmation.

She didn't choose to make a phone call because she was afraid her sister wouldn't tell the truth; a video call would allow her to see clearly whether someone's eyes were evasive.

Tang Junyao turned to look at the man who was driving intently with a slight smile on his lips. It was hard to hide it now. She cleared her throat and said, "Ahem... Xixi, Han Yue has run into a little trouble, but it's not a big problem and it will be resolved soon. Don't worry. He probably didn't tell you because he was afraid you would be anxious. Your brother-in-law said he'll be fine in a few days."

After receiving confirmation on the video call, Lan Yunxi's beautiful eyes welled up with tears as she struggled to hold them back. "I understand, sister."

"Sleep a little longer, I have to go to work. Don't overthink it, you'll be fine soon."

Tang Junyao repeatedly tried to comfort her, fearing that she might overthink things.

Lan Yunxi, who was in low spirits, mumbled, "Mm."

After hanging up the phone, Tang Junyao was also worried. She turned to Ji Hancheng and asked, "Will Han Yue be able to come out today? Xi Xi is getting anxious. I'm afraid if Han Yue doesn't come out soon, Xi Xi will fly over."

Ji Hancheng chuckled lightly, "Don't worry, do you think Han Yue's personality would make Xixi worry for so long? If he doesn't come out today, the Han family will take action, at most 48 hours."

Hearing him say that, Tang Junyao felt relieved. Soon the car arrived at the hospital entrance. Ji Hancheng unbuckled his seatbelt and kissed Tang Junyao on the lips. "Wife, I'll pick you up after get off work."

Tang Junyao was used to the lingering affection at parting, and returned a kiss, saying, "Goodbye, Mr. Ji."

As Han Yue and Ji Hancheng had predicted, the rich second-generation who had initially insisted that the white powder was leaked from Tiss changed his story. There was no threat from anyone; he just suddenly changed his story. Han Yue stayed inside quietly for two days.

The rich second-generation claimed that he had used the substance before entering Tissot and that he had always had this habit, but lied because he was afraid of being investigated.

Han Yue's composure puzzled many people, because he did not use any underhanded tactics.

At 3:30 p.m., Han Yue strode out of the police station. A black Maybach was parked in front of the station. The man inside did not get out of the car, but rolled down the window and shouted at Han Yue, who had just come out, "Pretty fast."

Without a word, Han Yue opened the passenger door and got in, as if it were his own car. "The information was pretty accurate. How many minutes have we been waiting?"

With a bluish stubble on his chin and no signs of fatigue in his eyes, he calmly asked Ji Hancheng for a cigarette, "Do you have any?"

Ji Hancheng glanced sideways at Han Yue, who had a roguish air about him, and said softly, "You had some stock in front of you, so you've been sleeping quite well these past two days."

Han Yue took a pack of cigarettes from where Ji Hancheng had indicated, tore open the packaging, tapped out a cigarette with his fingers, lit it with a snap between his slender fingers, took a deep drag, and slowly exhaled. The swirling smoke filled the carriage before disappearing out of the window.

After smoking half a cigarette, Han Yue casually said, "Someone wants me to rest, so I have to cooperate."

Ji Hancheng complained, "You've had a good rest, but my sister-in-law had insomnia. She called my wife this morning and cried because she couldn't find you."

This guy now calls his wife so naturally, he talks about her all the time, it's 100% about showing off.

Upon hearing this, Han Yue paused, his hand holding the cigarette still, his eyes darkening. "What did your wife say?"

"Tell the truth. We're not liars. You figure out how to explain it yourself," Ji Hancheng said, adopting the demeanor of an honest man.

Finally seeing a worried expression on Han Yue's face, Ji Hancheng was very satisfied and, in a moment of kindness, added, "I didn't say you were framed, I just said you have something to do."

If Han Yue were to go in, Ji Hancheng could easily guess that Xi Xi, with her straightforward personality, would definitely fly to the capital.

Han Yueyan bit her lip, not taking a drag, and took out her phone to send a message to the pinned WeChat profile picture: I'm fine now, you can focus on your studies.

The little girl has classes in the afternoon, and he has memorized all of them; the timetable is also on his phone.

Time ticked by. Knowing Lan Yunxi's personality, he should reply to the message, and class was already over. Han Yue's brow furrowed even more. Ji Hancheng, seeing his friend's slightly out-of-control demeanor, reminded him, "Just call. You won't get an answer by agonizing over it. Don't you like to take direct action?"

Han Yue ignored him, knowing he was just watching the show, and dialed the number directly. The phone was switched off. One call had the same result, two calls had the same result, which panicked Han Yue. He had never been so flustered before. Even the smell of nicotine from the cigarette in his mouth could not calm his inner turmoil.

The more I smoked, the more uncomfortable I felt, so I turned it off and threw it into a trash can some distance away. The parabolic trajectory of the throw landed perfectly in the trash can.

Han Yue turned to Ji Hancheng, who was watching the show, and said, "Call Lan Yunchen and ask if Xiao Xi is home. Her phone is off."

"You two need my wife and I to help you get together and pave the way for you. How are you so capable? We owe you something."

Ji Hancheng grumbled a bit, but still dialed the number. Lan Yunchen answered quickly, "Big brother, is Xixi home?"

Lan Yunchen's gentle voice came from the other end of the phone, "On the plane."

Ji Hancheng: "..............." From the perspective of action-oriented people, Xi Xi's ability to take action is equal to Han Yue's, and they are evenly matched.

After listening to Lan Yunchen's instructions, Ji Hancheng hung up the phone and turned to the anxious Han Yue, saying, "On the plane, it will arrive at 11 pm. Should I pick it up or should you?"

Although Ji Hancheng knew this was a pointless question, he figured it was better to ask anyway.

"I'll pick you up and take you to Tiss. I need to tell you something. Your wife's favor can be reduced when I get married."

Han Yue said shamelessly, his tone very certain, as if he and Xi Xi were definitely going to get married.

"Should I say you're generous or blindly confident?" Ji Hancheng shook his head.

Lan Yunchen didn't say what time Lan Yunxi boarded the plane, and Ji Hancheng didn't ask either; an unspoken understanding formed between the two.

After dropping Han Yue off at Tissot, Ji Hancheng left, claiming he was going to pick up his wife from get off work. Han Yue scoffed dismissively.

At 9 p.m., Tiss opened the door as usual, and the people inside were making preparations. Han Yue had been in the office since the afternoon watching Tiss's surveillance footage. Of course, there were no surveillance cameras in the private room, but he still needed to check some other things. He looked at the time in the lower right corner; the girl was almost there.

I have two hours left, so I need to get to the airport early to wait.

I turned off the computer and walked towards the door.

As he opened the door, he bumped into Wei Ning, who was coming to work. Wei Ning was wearing a tight red dress with a low neckline that revealed her cleavage. She had heavy makeup on her face and wore a pair of eight-centimeter white high heels. She stood next to Han Yue, looking up at him.

He asked with concern, "Mr. Han, I'm sorry I didn't notice the problem in time."

Han Yue was in a hurry to get to the airport and didn't give much of a reply, simply saying, "Mm."

His tone was indifferent and distant, conveying a sense of detachment and a reluctance to engage.

How could Wei Ning not hear it? His heart ached terribly. Why couldn't he see her devotion to him after all this time? His eyes welled up with tears as he desperately tried to hold back.

An impulse surged through her body; she couldn't hold back any longer. She had to tell him that she liked him.

Silently mustering her courage, she clenched her fist tightly, just as she was about to speak, a clear female voice interrupted her hard-won courage.

"Brother Yue..." A soft, sweet voice came from the corridor.

Wearing a thin beige long sweatshirt, black denim shorts, and white sneakers, her long legs were stretched to the extreme, and her skin looked as white as jade even from a distance. The girl wasn't smiling, and even looked a little angry. Her delicate little face was pouting as if the whole world owed her 500 million.

Carrying a large white suitcase in one hand and a green baseball cap in the other, Lan Yunxi felt the cap was perfect for the occasion and put it on without hesitation.

Light green, the color of spring. Lan Yunxi painted her fingernails on a whim the day before yesterday, feeling that spring should be in season, and now it seems to blend into the atmosphere.

Han Yue was stunned for a moment. Looking at the travel-worn girl in front of him, he couldn't help but laugh. He strode towards her, wanting to give her a big hug, but he was good at reading people and had already noticed that the girl was angry.

The green hat she was holding was glaringly conspicuous.

He pinched the bridge of his nose and raised his hand to try and take off her hat, but Lan Yunxi stopped him. He didn't force her and asked in a gentle tone, "Didn't you say you'd arrive at 11 o'clock, hmm?"

Wei Ning didn't leave. He carefully examined the girl who came in. Both her appearance and her clothes were high-end. Even though she was wearing simple casual clothes, Wei Ning, who frequented this place, could still tell.

It seemed Han Yue had spent a lot of money on this girl; she was decked out in designer brands, Wei Ning thought to herself.

Wei Ning's fingernails dug into her palms with jealousy. Han Yue's eyes were full of indulgence and pampering for this girl. Even his tone of voice was something she had never heard before. How gentle it was! It turned out that this man, who was always so sparing with words, had another side.

It's just not for her.

Lan Yunxi's gaze swept past Han Yue and landed on the woman in the low-cut dress behind him. She said confidently, "I'm doing a surprise inspection. You're going to get points deducted today."

Han Yue chuckled, a laugh that even Wei Ning behind him heard. Wei Ning's face turned ashen, and his eyes reddened slightly.

"Okay, I've already lost points, can I take off my hat now?" Han Yue found the color really glaring and uncomfortable to look at.

What's the little girl's hobby? Buying a green hat.

"Alright, this is an alarm." Even after saying that, Lan Yunxi still didn't take it off.

Actually, Lan Yunxi believes in astrology. She wears her underwear in the color of her zodiac sign every day. Today, she was in a hurry and forgot to bring her green underwear. She bought a green hat at the duty-free shop when she got off the plane.

She hadn't intended to wear it, since the color wasn't really suitable; she was only wearing it for good luck. But seeing this scene, she didn't hesitate at all and put it directly on her head.

Han Yue reached out and gently took off Lan Yunxi's hat, holding it in his hand, and affectionately ruffled her high ponytail with one hand.

Overwhelmed with longing, Lan Yunxi didn't care whether that woman was there or not. She tiptoed, wrapped her slender white arms around Han Yue's neck, and looked up at him.

Han Yue placed the hat on the suitcase, bent down slightly to kiss her forehead, put one arm around her waist, and stroked her hair with the other, displaying their affection as if no one else was around, as if Wei Ning were invisible. "Skipping class?"

Lan Yunxi tiptoed again and gave Han Yue a kiss on the lips. Wei Ning, who was watching the scene from behind in self-torture, felt her heart bleed. The sharp pain in her palms was not enough to bring her to her senses.

Wei Ning absolutely refused to acknowledge the scene he had witnessed.

Han Yue was almost overwhelmed by the girl's initiative, and said in a slightly hoarse voice, "I'll take you to the Ji residence? Hmm?"

Lan Yunxi looked up and thought for a few minutes, her expression very serious as she earnestly refused, "I want to sleep with Sister Guoguo."

Upon hearing this, Han Yue's eyes turned as deep as the bottom of a lake. He remained still as Lan Yunxi embraced him, his waist bent over. Did the little girl even know what he was saying?
