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

the next day.

Han Yue took his sister to the hospital as usual before going to the dock. His driving skills were better than Xiao Shuai's, which allowed Han Guoguo to stay in bed a few more minutes.

I woke up timing myself with a stopwatch.

Brushing teeth and getting dressed are all completed within the allotted time, and he still manages to be a "time-test king" every day.

Since becoming pregnant, Tang Junyao has had far fewer surgeries. She naturally knows why. Not only has she had fewer surgeries, but Su Xue's have also had very few.

After lunch, the three of them hid in the office and ate pine nuts. Tang Junyao was peeling them with a serious expression. During this time, Ji Hancheng asked her what she was doing, and she replied with a text message telling him that she was eating nuts.

Music was playing in the office.

Of course, the music was played by Han Guoguo, whose reason was to do prenatal education in advance.

Han Guoguo's playlist consists of pretty good songs, and everyone enjoys listening to them.

Just as everyone was peeling away the layers, there was a knock on the door, breaking the quiet and pleasant atmosphere. A doctor walked in; he looked vaguely familiar, but after thinking for a long time, he still couldn't place him.

Tang Junyao suddenly remembered. Wasn't this the golden man in their department? His parents were professors, and he was also a graduate student. "Dr. Chen."

The man wore black glasses, and the thick lenses revealed that he was quite nearsighted. He was about 180 cm tall, neither tall nor thin, and looked like a handsome young man. He was holding a bouquet of flowers in his hands.

He replied, "Dr. Tang, you're here too?"

Tang Junyao nodded politely in response, then watched the man's next move. Ever since he came in, the man's gaze had been fixed on Guoguo, and she felt that he had come with a purpose.

Seeing that he was a little shy, and glancing at the flowers in his arms, Tang Junyao asked, "Should we move aside?"

Han Guoguo smelled something different, squinted at Tang Junyao, shook her head slightly, then turned to the man, "Were you looking for me?"

This consultation room belongs to her; they must be looking for her.

The man strode forward, handed the flowers to Han Guoguo, and said very seriously, "Dr. Han, I've been watching you for a long time. I see you every day. You're always in a rush, but you're very cute. I want to pursue you."

Han Guoguo: "................" After eating pine nuts for a while, she was suddenly confessed to, or was it because of the timing?

Tang Junyao: "................"

Su Xue's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. Her eyes were wide open, darting back and forth between the male doctor and Han Guoguo, looking like she was watching a melon. Now that her brother had someone he liked, she naturally hoped that Guoguo could find someone she liked as well.

Stop eating their dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection).

It took Han Guoguo a while to realize that she had indeed been confessed to. She stood up politely and said, "Ahem, fellow colleague, first of all, thank you for seeing my flaws and turning them into strengths. But I really don't want to be in a relationship right now, sorry."

When Han Guoguo was at Blue City, she often refused people, but she was always quite polite.

The man seemed to have expected this. "It's alright. Nothing is ever accomplished on the first try. I'll keep trying. Here, take these flowers. I'll keep pursuing her."

The man shoved all the flowers into the stunned Han Guoguo's arms, turned and strode away, as if he were just a deliveryman and the person who had just confessed his feelings wasn't him at all.

Su Xue, seeing Han Guoguo's stunned expression, reminded her while continuing to peel pine nuts and stuff them into her mouth. "Are you stupid? She's gone. What are you thinking? You little brat."

Tang Junyao naturally didn't ask; she already knew the outcome. Because Guoguo had fallen for Su Yu, her husband had even fought with Han Yue. She quietly ate her pine nuts. "Keep eating."

These words were said to Han Guoguo.

Han Guoguo sighed and placed the flowers in a corner of the consultation room, making sure they weren't too conspicuous so that people coming for their afternoon appointments wouldn't see them and have a bad impression. "That's why I'm too beautiful. I didn't want to be flashy, but even my flaws get noticed, so I can't help it."

Tang Junyao chuckled. Luckily, she hadn't eaten any pine nuts just a second ago, or she would have choked on them. "If you told the people at the hospital that you're the young lady of the Han family in the capital, that Dr. Chen would probably come and apologize to you."

Helpless, Han Guoguo became serious, "I just wanted to keep a low profile. I didn't get the job at the hospital because my surname is Han. I got the job on my own merit. Otherwise, even if I worked hard, people would say I'm just using the Han family name."

She felt very uncomfortable being judged and judged no matter what she did; she just wanted to be an ordinary girl.

Tang Junyao understood, so she didn't let Ji Hancheng come to the hospital, not even to bring him food. "You're right. I guess Dr. Chen will continue. If you have someone you like, just tell him directly to avoid trouble."

Su Xue immediately seized on this point, "You have someone you like? Who is it?"

"What are you thinking? Yao Yao was just saying it casually. It's a good reason to reject her." Han Guoguo panicked and hurriedly waved her hand, glancing away. She still didn't intend to tell Su Yu that she liked him.

"Hey, you got me all excited for nothing. I thought you had someone you liked like my brother." Su Xue's tone was a little disappointed, but it didn't stop her from continuing to eat.

Tang Junyao glanced at Han Guoguo's evasive eyes across from her and asked Su Xue, "Did you ask your brother who he likes?"

Su Xue was helpless about this. She had no way to help her brother. If she knew who her future sister-in-law was, she could at least help her brother make his presence known. But now she didn't even know her surname, so where could she make her presence known, and how could she help?

"You know how reserved my brother is. If he doesn't want to talk about something, you won't get an answer no matter how you ask."

Tang Junyao agreed with this point. After so many years of getting to know Su Yu, he was indeed like that. If he didn't want to talk about something, no matter how much you tried to find out, you wouldn't find the answer, because he was very good at hiding his emotions.

While Tang Junyao was talking to Su Xue, Han Guoguo appeared to be seriously eating pine nuts, but she was actually listening intently, her mind in turmoil. She wanted to hear the other person's name but also didn't want to, feeling conflicted.

Perhaps that's just how women are; when the person they like falls for someone else, they subconsciously want to know who it is, whether they're worse off or better than themselves.

Tang Junyao looked up at Han Guoguo, sighed, and didn't know what to say. Sometimes she really wanted to tell Guoguo that Su Yu liked her, but after taking a step back and thinking about it, she realized that this was not something she could do for her. After all, Su Yu, the main character, hadn't said anything. Although she was quite certain, there was always an unexpected outcome if the words weren't spoken.

That evening, Su Xue returned to the Su family home for dinner. Su Xue would eat at the Su family home two days a week, saying that, as she put it, "This Empress wants to treat everyone equally."

At the dinner table, Su Xue started talking about Han Guoguo while eating, and because she was happy for Guoguo, she said, "Something happened at our hospital today... you could say it was romantic."

As Su's mother carefully fed Xiao Caomei, she casually asked, "Marriage?"

"Mom, what are you thinking? You've been watching too many TV dramas. How can you get married in a hospital? It's a doctor confessing his love to another doctor."

Su Yu was picking fish bones out of Little Strawberry. Because of his slight nearsightedness, he was getting quite close and was being very careful. He didn't say anything.

Lu Jinnan served Su Xue a bowl of chicken soup and, to her face, asked, "Who confessed to whom? Was it premeditated or love at first sight?"

Was it a long-planned scheme or love at first sight?

She needed to think about it. Recalling what Dr. Chen had said, she immediately concluded, "I think both are true, because that doctor said he really likes Guoguo every day..."

Su Yu abruptly looked up, glaring coldly at Su Xue before interrupting her, "Who did you say?"

Startled by the sudden glare, Su Xue was stunned. The whole family stopped what they were doing and looked at Su Yu's strange behavior at the same time.

Lu Jinnan answered for his wife, "Guoguo got confessed to."

Didn't his wife explain it very clearly? Didn't you understand?

The next second, Su Yu placed the fish he had selected in front of Little Strawberry, "I'm full, you guys eat, I'm going to take care of something."

Su Xue finally snapped out of her daze and turned to Lu Jinnan beside her, asking blankly, "Did I say something wrong? Why is my brother so agitated?"

"You're right, have some soup. Mom's soup is really delicious, try some." Lu Jinnan picked up the soup and fed it to Su Xue.

Su's mother: "Alright, let's eat. Your brother probably had a fight with someone he likes. Eat yours."

"Eat, eat. Your older brother has his own considerations. Daughter, just take care of yourself for now." These were the words of Su's father.

Lu Jinnan seemed to smell a hint of gossip. After thinking back on Su Yu's unusual behavior, he felt that something was amiss.

upstairs.

In Su Yu's room, he stood on the balcony smoking, twirling his phone in his hand. He didn't know how many times he twirled it until the cigarette burned out. Finally, he stopped twirling it, picked up his phone, and opened Kaixinguo's contact list: "Are you free now?"

Han Guoguo was sitting on the bed meditating. Five minutes ago, she asked Yao Yao for Dr. Chen's number. Each department has a group chat with each doctor's business card and phone number, so it's convenient to find a doctor in case of emergency.

Just five minutes earlier, she sent a text message to Dr. Chen, saying what could be considered honest: I have someone I like, I'm sorry.

The other person was also educated and knew she liked someone else, so he voluntarily withdrew: It's a pity I wasn't early enough. If we can't be lovers, let's be friends. I really like your personality. I don't mean anything else, just friends. I'm not the kind of person who pesters others.

So Han Guoguo couldn't refuse, and added the other person as a WeChat friend with the nickname "Dr. Chen".

She's a straightforward person; she either likes something or dislikes it. She despises scumbags and those who play games of ambiguity.

The music is ringing.

She did not feel the phone vibrate.
