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

Tang Junyao carefully placed the items into the box. Han Guoguo was very thoughtful; she bought a pretty little box for everyone and put the items she bought inside as gifts.

"Actually, Guoguo isn't as carefree and thoughtless as she seems. She's very perceptive. If you say something unintentionally, she might remember it and secretly help you solve the problem."

"With such high praise for her, how about you give me your evaluation?" Ji Hancheng stared intently ahead, a slight smile playing on his lips, though it was just a joke.

Tang Junyao searched her mind for a word in the dictionary and said with slight difficulty, "There are no good words in my dictionary to describe you now. Let me think of a good way to praise you, Mr. Ji."

"It seems you think it's highly regarded. Is it because it's from heaven?" Ji Hancheng was very pleased with Tang Junyao's playfulness.

"That's one way to put it. It's just because I, Tang Junyao, have it." Her face was beaming with a happy smile, genuine joy from the bottom of her heart.

"I like this explanation." He took her hand, intertwined their fingers, and kissed the back of her hand with satisfaction.

After leaving the hotel, Han Guoguo got into her car, driven by Xiao Shuai.

"Young Miss," Xiao Shuai called out to Han Guoguo with a grin.

"What's making you so happy? Did you win the lottery?"

"How is that possible? If I could win the lottery, money would rain down from the sky." Xiao Shuai didn't believe in such unrealistic things.

Han Guoguo, looking like a promising young man, nodded in satisfaction. After getting into the car, she suddenly asked Xiao Shuai a question that made him lose his composure.

"Handsome, have you ever been in a relationship?" She asked casually, while fiddling with her phone and scrolling through her WeChat Moments.

Su Yu's WeChat Moments is practically empty; there's nothing there. Does this person not know how to share happiness? Why register for WeChat if you don't even post anything? Is it just for chatting?

Xiao Shuai, who hadn't even started the car yet, stared wide-eyed at Han Guoguo. "Miss, are you kidding me? How could any girl like me looking like this? Even though my name is Xiao Shuai, I'm really not handsome at all."

After saying that, he scratched his head sheepishly.

Being handsome and having good character are two different things. Lin Sheng may look decent enough, but he's a scumbag. "That's no reason to define you as single. Not every girl in the world looks like me, right?"

The young man was speechless. First, the young lady was indeed beautiful, and second, there were very few people who could compare to her.

Xiao Shuai started the car and slowly drove towards the Han family's residence. Mustering his courage, he asked, "Miss...did you have a fight with Young Master Su?"

Upon hearing this, Han Guoguo was dumbfounded, "What the heck............?"

When did she argue with Su Yu? With his personality, it's impossible for him to have a gentle and mild argument. He'd probably be done with it in a second. Only someone like Han the Liar could really get into an argument and drive people crazy.

Han Guoguo's voice suddenly rose a few decibels as she looked at Xiao Shuai with a puzzled expression, "Pull the car over later, and we'll talk about this."

There seems to be a huge misunderstanding here.

Xiao Shuai turned on her right turn signal and pulled over to the side. After parking, she spoke in a daze, but she was also smart enough not to mention that someone was following her. "I saw that Young Master Su was very nice to you, so I thought you two were a couple."

It turned out to be the case.

I thought it was some kind of misunderstanding.

"Put away your assumptions. He and I are just buddies, friends. How could we be lovers?" He's got someone else in his heart. Don't fill in the gaps, don't fill in the gaps, don't fill in the gaps. I'll repeat the important things to myself three times.

"Oh, I see. I thought you two were a couple. I'm sorry, Miss, I misunderstood." Xiao Shuai apologized sincerely.

"It's okay. Don't be so presumptuous in the future. I didn't make this up with my brother, did I?" Her brother always reminded her to keep her distance from Su Yu. Now that she thinks about it, she really should keep her distance, otherwise it could easily cause problems.

Xiao Shuai hurriedly shook his head, indicating that he had not reported to Han Yue.

Han Guoguo thought to herself, "Brainwashed by beauty, let's go. Don't tell my brother any nonsense, we're really just buddies."

Xiao Shuai nodded with some doubt, "Understood, Miss."

Han Guoguo lay back in her chair and continued to casually scroll through her WeChat Moments. She soon came across Xixi's post about her daytime outing. The photo showed Han Yue sitting in the back and Xixi sitting in the front, with Han Yue holding her as they rode a jet ski.

"Damn it, Han Duidui is such a jerk, he's having so much fun but didn't include me."

Xiao Shuai thought to himself: Only the young lady dares to scold Brother Yue like this.

Scrolling down further, I found photos of Xixi and Han Yue shooting at the shooting range. It was a nine-grid photo, taken from every angle, and they looked really good and cool.

He really put in a lot of effort; Han Yue was constantly showcasing his abilities to deceive Xi Xi, this innocent little rabbit. What a cunning man!

Han Guoguo: "............." That's too much. They just bought her a random ticket and sent her to country A. They were having such a thrilling time.

Although country A is also quite fun, and there are coincidental romantic encounters, it's not as exciting as what they do there.

She scolded him like that, but Han Guoguo still felt sorry for her brother and Xixi's long-distance relationship. She forgave him the next second and even saved the photos and sent them to Sister Lu and the others.

Su Yu went straight to the Su Group as soon as he got off the plane. Qin Kai followed closely behind as he entered his office.

Before Su Yu could even sit down, Qin Kai asked, "What happened? You went to Country A and only stayed in the store for one minute during its opening."

Su Yuqi went to his friend's opening ceremony early in the morning, went through the motions, gave a gift, and returned to the hotel without lingering there.

Su Yu took off his glasses, rubbed his temples, and looked tired. He hadn't slept for several hours and had suffered from insomnia last night. "Isn't it enough that I've already given the gift and shown up?"

Qin Kai looked at him with a probing expression. "Is there something you need?"

He spoke with certainty because Su Yu, who had always followed the schedule, had been behaving very strangely lately, which made Qin Kai suspect something was amiss.

"I'm not busy. I'm going to take a nap. I'm afraid I'll die from overwork if I rush back without stopping. Go do what you need to do." Su Yu urged Qin Kai to leave, clearly not wanting to tell him about his budding feelings.

Qin Kai could see the fatigue on his face, so without saying anything more, he took a blanket from the sofa and threw it to him, "Cover yourself up, no one will care if you catch a cold."

The blanket was accurately thrown onto Su Yu's lap. Su Yu got up, intending to sleep on the sofa. "Lock the door for me, don't let anyone in."

Qin Kai was suspicious, but he did as he was told without saying a word of objection. He was just going to attend the opening ceremony. Why did he exhaust himself like this?

It's no use asking again if this young master doesn't want to say.

The underground parking lot of the Blue City Hotel.

Before Han Yue even started the engine, Lan Yunxi was already pouting, because it really was time to say goodbye again, as the May Day holiday was coming to an end.

They needed to get back on track; she needed to attend classes, he needed to work, and the two of them had to separate again.

Seeing the little girl's reluctant expression, as if she was about to cry at any moment, Han Yue felt a slight tightness in his chest. "I'll stay one more day."

Lan Yunxi shook her head rationally, "No need, I'm just a little reluctant."

She leaned against Han Yue's shoulder, hugged his arm tightly, and held back her tears.

No one spoke after that. Lan Yunxi, who had been chattering incessantly, suddenly fell silent, and the atmosphere became cold. After a long while, Han Yue used his other hand to pinch her chin and slowly lifted her face. "Xiao Xi," he said, wanting to suggest that they get engaged.

But as if he owed the little girl a sense of ritual, he swallowed back what he wanted to say.

Lan Yunxi blinked her misty eyes and looked at him with a puzzled expression. "Um, what's wrong?"

"No, I'll take you home. You have class tomorrow morning."

Lan Yunchen had already told him it was too late last time, and since the girl has class tomorrow, it's even more important that she doesn't come late. "Listen to me, I'll be over in a bit."

She didn't ask him which day he was coming. She believed whatever Han Yue said. He said he would come last time, and he did this time. She believed it would be the same next time. He was a man of his word.

To avoid upsetting Han Yue, Lan Yunxi composed herself. "Let's go. After you take me home, get some rest. Is your flight tomorrow morning?"

"I'm fine with anything, it's up to you."

Lan Yunxi rested her chin on her hand by the car window, lost in thought, actually suppressing some kind of emotion—the sadness of parting—which she didn't want Han Yue to see. "I have class tomorrow morning, so I can't be with you. Our Yue-ge still has to focus on his career. Boys who are focused on their careers are the most handsome."

"Okay, I'll pick you up for class tomorrow morning and take you to school."

Han Yue planned to take her to school before leaving.

Lan Yunxi, however, didn't think that way. The farewell that night was already painful enough, and she didn't want to go through it again tomorrow. "No need," she said, "I was driven by my driver this morning. You should sleep a little longer, otherwise we'll be too sad."

After saying this, the thin mist she had been trying to hold back finally gathered into water droplets and trickled down from the corners of her eyes, while she still forced a reassuring smile onto her lips.

When did his little girl learn to hide her emotions? Each tear that fell made Han Yue's heart clench, his eyes slightly reddening. He raised his hand and gently wiped away her tears, little by little, with utmost tenderness. "Xiao Xi, don't cry."

"Don't look at me like that. Hold me for a while. I don't look good right now. I don't want to cry, but the tears just keep falling. It's so annoying." Lan Yunxi was still smiling, but that smile stung Han Yue's eyes and made him feel heartbroken.

"Okay, I won't look." She's always adorable, beautiful, and flawless.

Han Yue pulled Lan Yunxi into his arms, holding her tightly around the waist. The moment Lan Yunxi leaned on his shoulder, tears streamed down her face again, wetting Han Yue's shoulder. Longing and reluctance were etched into his very being.

"Xiao Xi, wait for me for another half month." His voice was hoarse as he controlled his emotions; he didn't dare kiss her now.

Fear of losing control.

Lan Yunxi assumed Han Yue's words meant the time he would visit her again, but only he knew the exact time.

Lan Family Manor.

The car came to a smooth stop at the entrance. Han Yue smiled and gave the little girl a light kiss on the corner of her lips. "Go on, you have class tomorrow."

Lan Yunxi, who was in low spirits, returned the smile and pecked Han Yue on the lips. "Tit for tat, bye-bye, remember to miss me."

"it is good."

Lan Yunchen arrived in the Bugatti from last time. Han Yue got out of the car, opened the passenger door for Lan Yunchen, and nodded to her with mixed emotions.

Lan Yunchen glanced at his sister's swollen eyes in the passenger seat and knew she was reluctant to part with him. He sighed and said, "Have a safe journey."

"Thanks."

Lan Yunxi waved to Han Yue from the passenger seat, and Han Yue, driven by his own instincts, also raised his hand and waved back.

Having witnessed so many such scenes, even the bodyguards who were guarding them felt sorry for them after Han Yue drove away.
