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

In the end, Han Yue didn't let Lan Yunxi carry the iron bucket; he put the milk tea in the trunk instead.

Lan Yunxi stood at the back of the car, looking at the full metal bucket of milk tea. She wondered what Guoguo's expression would be when she saw it. Yue Ge's actions might make Guoguo never want to drink milk tea again.

In a daze, I felt a light flick on my forehead, and a deep voice entered my eardrums, "Get in the car."

"Oh." Lan Yunxi happily walked towards the passenger seat.

As soon as I got on the bus.

Han Yue asked, "Should we drink it now or wait?"

"Let's drink it when we get back to your place." Otherwise, it would be awkward for Guoguo to drink alone, and she really didn't know how Guoguo would drink it later. She couldn't very well hold the whole cup and drink it all at once.

"Hmm," Han Yue replied casually.

After helping Lan Yunxi fasten her seatbelt, he took the initiative to reach out and hold her small hand tightly.

Lan Yunxi's face flushed again. She awkwardly touched her slightly reddened ear with her free hand, and glanced shyly at the man driving with one hand. For some reason, she found Han Yue very charming.

The car steadily drove towards Deep Water Bay. Inside, the two people held hands tightly, reluctant to part. Unexpected surprises always bring joy.

Han Yue hadn't expected Lan Yunxi's surprise attack. He had originally planned to finish dealing with things before flying to Lan City, but the girl gave him such a surprise. Her decisive actions were truly in line with her personality.

Just like when I confessed my feelings to him in front of so many people.

After finishing her phone call at the Han family home, Han Guoguo changed her clothes. The evening breeze was pleasant, but still slightly chilly. She casually grabbed a tracksuit from the closet, figuring her brother had plenty of clothes for her, so she wouldn't have to worry about not having anything to wear to work tomorrow.

A chain bag dangled from her left shoulder, looking like it was about to fall off at any moment. She opened the door and went downstairs, a cheese stick dangling from her mouth, hopping and skipping down the stairs.

In the living room, Han's mother and father were still talking about something. They had different opinions, as if they were participating in a debate, but Han's father was obviously a little less assertive.

Han Guoguo slung her bag over her shoulder, held onto the chain with one hand, stood behind her parents, tilted her head to look at the documents on the coffee table, and said, "Sister Lu, Brother Yu, I'm going to sleep over there with my brother."

The two turned their heads and looked at Han Guoguo. Han's mother was relatively calm. She just stared at her for a while before leaning back on the sofa with her legs crossed and holding some documents in her hand.

Mr. Han was a little more impatient than Mrs. Han. "Why did you go to your brother's place? Doesn't your brother come home to sleep tonight? Is he staying at Tissot?"

Han Guoguo smiled broadly, deliberately propped her hands on the sofa, leaned closer to them, and whispered, "Because brother has to accompany his future sister-in-law."

These words unsettled the Han couple. However, Han's mother didn't speak first, waiting for Han's father to ask, "Your future sister-in-law? Your brother found a girlfriend? When did this happen? Why hasn't anyone mentioned it?"

Mr. Han felt he had missed out on a fortune; his son had already found a girlfriend, and he, as the eldest son, knew absolutely nothing about it, which was unusual for the well-informed Han family.

Han's father felt very depressed, as if he had lost touch with the information chain.

Han Guoguo wasn't surprised that her parents didn't know her brother was pursuing Xixi. Her brother was a reserved guy, how could he announce his pursuit of a girl so openly? If she hadn't known Xixi, she probably wouldn't have known either. "Don't worry, you'll definitely meet him someday. When the time is right, your brother will bring him."

Han Guoguo said lightly, with a hint of smugness, "You all don't know, but I do."

Mr. Han was very curious about what his future daughter-in-law looked like, so he lowered his voice and gossiped, "My dear daughter, tell Dad about your sister-in-law."

Aside from being a powerful figure and the head of the Han family, he is a father, and it's perfectly normal for a father to be curious about what kind of woman his son has chosen.

Although Han's mother wasn't as gossipy as Han's father, she was still listening intently, her eyes slightly narrowed, waiting for her daughter to speak.

Han Guoguo thought for a moment and began to organize her thoughts, "Well, she has to be beautiful, after all, I'm very picky. Anyway, my future sister-in-law is perfect in terms of family background, intelligence, and education, so you'll definitely be satisfied. It's just that she's a little young, and there's a big age gap between her and my brother."

"You guys probably don't mind this kind of story where an older man dotes on a younger woman, right?"

Han Guoguo asked tentatively.

Mr. Han waved his hand, afraid his daughter wouldn't believe him, and said confidently, "No, no, as long as your brother can bring him back, it's fine even if he hasn't graduated, right, Sister Lu?"

After saying that, Han's father gestured with his chin towards his wife, signaling her to relent.

Mrs. Han fiddled with the documents in her hand and said calmly, "The Han family doesn't have that many rules; good character is the most important thing."

"Dad, I think you're amazing! How did you know my future sister-in-law hadn't graduated?" Han Guoguo asked, feigning surprise.

Han's father: ".............." I just said it offhand.

Coming to his senses, Mr. Han asked, "So, how old is this future sister-in-law you're talking about?"

"I think she was 22. She's a graduate student now, and she's 7 years younger than me, yes, 7 years."

Han Guoguo went through it in her mind and finally said with certainty.

Han's father murmured, "It is a little young, but as for Sister Lu, Xiao Yue can choose whoever he likes."

Han's father bewitched Han's mother, fearing that his wife would mind, and thus cut off his son's romantic relationships.

"Okay, I'll take you." This was what Han's mother said to Han Guoguo, and the "okay" meant she didn't object.

Upon hearing this, Han's father almost leaned down to kiss his wife; he was so enthusiastic.

"No need, you guys go ahead with your work. I'll have that guy, oh, that handsome guy, take me. Bye-bye, you guys carry on, carry on." Han Guoguo slung her bag over her shoulder and waved.

Han Guoguo always has bodyguards around her, and even Xiao Shuai is very good at fighting, so her mother and the others are not too worried about her going out.

After Han Guoguo left, Han's father sighed, "You weren't thinking of seeing your daughter off because you wanted to go see your future daughter-in-law, were you?"

"You're overthinking it. I'm not as gossipy as you. Whether he likes it or not is his own business," Han's mother said formally.

Han's father continued curiously, "Sister Lu, you still haven't told me how Xiao Yue asked you for the defense map last time? What was he going to do with it? How did you convince him? Tell me about it."

Han's mother gave Han's father a cold look, slapped the documents in her hand into his arms, picked up the coffee on the coffee table and took a sip, "Your son's got guts, threatening me."

Mr. Han's eyes widened. Over the years, no matter how impatient his son was, he never dared to threaten his wife. This must mean he was truly in love with her. He inherited this trait from him. Mr. Han felt a surge of joy.

"How did Xiaoyue threaten you? I'll have a good talk with him when he gets back. He's been so lawless. I don't know who's in charge of this family." Father Han hid his thoughts, his face showing only concern.

Han's mother was too embarrassed to watch her son's clumsy acting and didn't bother to expose him. Recalling the day her son asked her for the defense map, she said, "The day before we went to Blue City, your son came to ask me for the defense map of the capital's covert operations. I asked him for a reason, and he actually made me choose: either give me half of the defense map in exchange for a daughter-in-law, or let Guoguo inherit the family business and find a son-in-law who will live with us. Is that all you've got?"

"You compromised just like that? That's not like his wife at all. Wouldn't they have to talk about it three, five, or even more times?" "And then what? His initial reason for asking you for this was to pursue his girlfriend. You couldn't hold back because of the word 'daughter-in-law,' right?"

"I'm afraid that keeping this picture will affect the continuation of your Han family line," Han's mother said casually.

After so many years of marriage, how could Han's father not understand his wife? She was just stubborn but soft-hearted. He smiled and said, "How could that be? You're just being stubborn. You just didn't want to make things difficult for your son because he rarely likes someone and keeps asking you for this. You actually trust Xiaoyue's judgment, but you're afraid he might act impulsively. Xiaoyue is quite sensible; he only asked for half of it instead of the whole thing."

Han's mother glared at Han's father again, "Shut up, are you still going to talk or not?"

"Let's talk, let's talk, let's talk, Sister Lu, you go first." Mr. Han was in a good mood; his daughter had returned, and now his son had found a girlfriend.

Han Guoguo arrived at Han Yue's Deep Water Bay villa, but forgot the password. She had been playing in Blue City for a few days, and had been staying at the Han family's house recently, so she couldn't remember what the password to her brother's villa was. It was a bit like her bank card password.

Standing at the door, Han Guoguo pressed the doorbell, and the door opened quickly. Lan Yunxi, dressed in a pure and innocent hoodie, opened the door. As soon as the door opened, Han Guoguo excitedly hugged her.

"Little princess, what brings you here? I didn't send you any messages. Is this a surprise for me? Are you two... together?"

The two seemed to be in a different state; Xi Xi was no longer putting on airs.

Lan Yunxi walked generously to Han Yue's side, took his hand, raised it in the air, and clasped his hands together.

This made Han Guoguo very excited. "Ahhhhhh, oh my god, what did I just see? Brother, you're awesome! Thumbs up!"

Han Guoguo gave Han Yue a thumbs-up from afar and then spun around in place.

Coming to her senses, Han Guoguo realized the problem: "Wait a minute, why did you two get together so quickly? Is there something I don't know?"

What accelerates the development of a relationship?

Han Yue ignored her, "Stop talking nonsense, the milk tea is over there, get it yourself."

Anyway, this gossip won't last overnight, so there's no rush. He casually tossed his bag onto the sofa and started looking for milk tea. Han Yue had already squatted down to help Lan Yunxi insert the straw and handed it to her.

Xi Xi naturally took the milk tea and put it into her delicate little mouth, taking a refreshing sip. She then handed the milk tea to Han Yue, asking, "Do you want some?"

Han Yue hesitated for a few seconds before finally grabbing her wrist, leaning forward to take a sip. The straw still held the warmth of the girl's touch, which could be considered an indirect kiss. After taking a sip, he patted Lan Yunxi's head and said, "I'm going upstairs for a bit. You call home to let them know you're safe."

"I've already sent messages. I sent messages to my parents and brother when I got off the plane."

"Hmm." Han Yue smiled slightly and turned to leave.

Lan Yunxi watched Han Yue's retreating figure as he went upstairs, her heart pounding. The milk tea tasted even better now. Turning around, she saw Han Guoguo looking for something and asked, puzzled, "Sister Guoguo, what are you looking for?"

Han Guoguo looked around the living room but still couldn't find the milk tea. "Milk tea? Didn't I tell Han Duidui to buy me a cup? Did he not buy it for me?"

Before Lan Yunxi could speak, Han Guoguo noticed a metal bucket by the door, wrapped in plastic wrap, making it difficult to see what it was from a distance. "Hey, did my brother buy wild fish?"

Han Guoguo naturally assumed that there were fish in the bucket.

Upon hearing this, Lan Yunxi choked on her milk tea, "Cough cough cough, that, that's not fish, it's... your milk tea."

Lan Yunxi was embarrassed. She couldn't bear to look at the metal bucket of milk tea at the door. Feeling awkward, she squinted and pointed at it with one finger.

The next second came Han Guoguo's scream, "Han Yue, are you crazy? What did you buy for me?"

Han Guoguo: Does her brother have some misunderstanding about her species? She's a human, not a pig.

The deafening noise echoed throughout the spacious living room, so loud that even Han Yue, who was busy upstairs, heard it. He came out and leaned on the railing, one hand resting on the railing, "What's all that howling about in the middle of the night? Is it what you said about adding this and that?"

Han Guoguo stood with her hands on her hips, seething with anger. She looked up at Han Yue on the second floor, who didn't seem to think there was anything wrong with him at all. "I just like more ingredients. Did you really have to get me a whole metal bucket of them? Are you sure you're not crazy?"

Han Yue calmly leaned against the railing. "Do you think you own this milk tea shop? People who don't know you'd think you're there to buy ingredients. Don't wail like a ghost, trying to attract some mischief."

After Han Yue finished speaking, he turned around and went back to his room.

Han Guoguo, who was left downstairs staring blankly at a bucket of milk tea, felt a throbbing in her head. She put her hands on her hips and heard Lan Yunxi's soft and gentle voice behind her, "How about we use a spoon to eat it? This is quite expensive, 300 yuan a bucket."

Lan Yunxi's adorable expression softened Han Guoguo's temper. She figured it was only 300 yuan, and her brother still loved her for the sake of the money.

Han Guoguo took a deep breath and exhaled heavily, speaking in a familiar tone, "Xixi, I have a suggestion for you. You should teach him a lesson in how to deal with his bad habits. Look at what he did to me... this milk tea."

Finally, Han Guoguo went to the kitchen to get a cup and a spoon, scooped a bowl of milk tea from the bucket, and filled it with toppings. She then sat cross-legged on the sofa, ready to listen to the gossip.
