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

Hospital cafeteria.

It was just like an interrogation at the police station, only the treatment was different. A small hot pot was already on the table, and the water in the pot was constantly boiling with the fire underneath.

One woman crossed her arms, while another woman stirred the pot with chopsticks, seemingly indifferent to the situation.

A woman, looking like she'd done something wrong, kept glancing at the pot. Starving, she couldn't hold back any longer and cried out, "Oh dear, I'm sorry, okay? I didn't mean to keep it from you all this time. I just don't know how to turn this situation around."

Speaking of being proven wrong, Su Xue remembered that when she was trying to match Guo Guo with her brother, she said that her brother wasn't her type.

Tang Junyao knew the truth, but she secretly didn't intend to confess, otherwise her sins would be even more serious, and she might be interrogated even more severely. "Are you going to eat or not? The spinach is all yellow. Can we talk while we eat?"

Su Xue glared at her best friend, "Are you even capable? She's been dating someone behind our backs, and the worst part is, the best part is my brother! I was so upset for days because the person my brother likes isn't Guoguo."

Tang Junyao took a bite of spinach, which was very hot. She fanned her mouth with her hand, creating a slight breeze, and swallowed it. "The point is, your brother isn't your Xiao Nan."

Receiving a terrifying eye roll from her best friend, Tang Junyao was genuinely afraid that Su Xue would roll her eyes back.

He continued, "Eat if you want, or don't. So what if Guoguo is dating your brother? Just tell me if you're happy or unhappy right now. Keep your other nonsense to yourself."

Tang Junyao ate earnestly and handed the chopsticks to the two of them, saying, "Hurry up and finish eating before going to sleep."

Seeing Tang Junyao looking like she was starving, Su Xue reminded her, "Big sister, you're pregnant, not in postpartum confinement."

Tang Junyao retorted, "Auntie, I'm a twin, not a singleton. Do you want me to starve to death?"

"No, you eat, you eat, eat more. Come on, start telling me about your situation with my brother, so I know if my expensive plane ticket investment worked."

Su Xue picked up her chopsticks and began to eat.

Han Guoguo was starving. She shoveled a mouthful of rice into her mouth and said, "What do you think? You're the matchmaker who brought us together. To be honest, you can't really blame me. I have feelings for your brother, but I wasn't sure he felt the same way about me. Besides, who kept telling me your brother had someone he liked, and then saying he had a girlfriend? Do I look like someone who would be a homewrecker?"

"Could I break up your brother with the girlfriend you're imagining? Although I later found out that the person your brother wanted to pursue was me, I had no idea before that. Adhering to the Han family's principle of never being a third party, I have to say your brother isn't my type, right?"

Su Xue: What family doesn't have a rule against being a mistress? The Su family has one too, right?

Su Xue was speechless for a moment. Damn it, she almost ruined her sister-in-law's life. Thinking of the stupid things she had done before, she felt ashamed.

Tang Junyao laughed when she heard this. "If your brother hadn't succeeded in getting together with Guoguo, you would have deserve a lot of credit. The ancestors of the Su family would be ecstatic for you."

Su Xue: ".............." My ancestors have been offended. It was really not intentional.

Han Guoguo: "It's nothing, it's nothing, it's a small matter. Didn't you successfully play matchmaker? Besides, I did develop feelings for your brother in Country A. You've done right by the Su family ancestors."

Tang Junyao chuckled softly, her shoulders shaking as she looked at the bewildered Su Xue. "Eat up, stop praying. You're neither a Buddhist nor a Jesus, so don't bother with pre-meal rituals."

Coming to her senses, Su Xue started gossiping, leaning closer to Han Guoguo with a curious look on her face. "Guoguo, how far have things progressed between you and my brother?"

Han Guoguo was speechless. "Big sister, you want us to take a rocket ride right from the start?"

Su Xue made a kissing motion with her hands and whispered, "Have you tried this? How was it?"

Tang Junyao noticed that Han Guoguo's ears were slightly red, clearly indicating that they had already kissed. What couple doesn't kiss? It's not like they were just chatting in the air. "Are you obsessed? If you're not going to, go back tonight and kiss your Xiao Nan to your heart's content."

"Are you going to pick a fight with me today?" Su Xue glanced at her best friend, her meaning clear: you're looking for trouble.

Tang Junyao gave Su Xue a look that said: Guoguo is a little shy, so shut up. If you don't want to let your ancestors down, you can continue, I won't stop you.

Su Xue instantly understood the implication: she got it.

"Eat, eat. Future sister-in-law, please eat more. Look after your little sister from now on."

Han Guoguo generously replied, "Sure, sure, but it depends on whether your brother and I can last. If..."

"Stop, there's no need to say anything more. It'll spoil the mood and affect our appetite. Let's eat." Su Xue immediately cut off the unlucky words that followed. She couldn't let anything happen to her hard-won sister-in-law.

After saying that, she reminded Han Guoguo, "You should say less of these unlucky things in the future. You have a pretty mouth, so you can say things I like to hear, like how many kids you plan to have with my brother, or when you're going to meet my parents, right?"

Han Guoguo: "Am I a stud pig?"

I knew Su Xue would react this way after she found out. Now it seems that it was the right thing to not tell her immediately.

Tang Junyao chuckled to herself, secretly enjoying the moment.

She hopes that everyone she cares about can find the happiness they deserve.

Su Xue secretly planned to go back to the Su family that night to share with her mother, who had been missing her daughter-in-law terribly lately.

Blue City University.

After breakfast, Han Yue took Lan Yunxi to class.

The two walked hand in hand into the school gate. Han Yue nodded to the gatekeeper, who grinned from ear to ear.

When a girl who's always been hard to pursue suddenly walks hand-in-hand with a man into the school gate, it's bound to attract attention. For some girls who have no suitors, seeing other pretty girls with many suitors every day, yet still keeping their distance and rejecting them all, can easily lead them to be perceived as aloof.

However, Lan Yunxi doesn't care much about other people's opinions, and Han Yue cares even less; the two are very similar in this respect.

Whether Lan Yunxi thinks it's good or bad, whether she likes it or not, only she knows. No one else can truly understand her innermost thoughts.

Han Yue treats everyone except those he cares about as air, and doesn't care whether you want to live or die.

The two seemed oblivious to the whispers around them, striding towards the classroom. "Yue-ge, do you know the security guard?"

"We got to know each other after a few visits."

Lan Yunxi leaned against Han Yue, lowered her voice, and whispered, "Brother Yue, tell me honestly, did you give him something?"

Han Yue held her hand tightly, remaining completely serious without showing any sign of unease, and said naturally, "You reap what you sow."

After class.

Han Yue went to the restroom, while Lan Yunxi waited outside in the hallway, head down, hands behind her back, her feet rhythmically tapping on the ground in a cheerful mood.

She patiently waited for her fiancé, Han Yue, to come out.

"Xixi, it's been a long time."

A familiar yet unfamiliar voice came from behind her. Lan Yunxi stopped what she was doing, slowly turned around, and her eyes lit up with curiosity when she saw the man.

Out of basic politeness, Lan Yunxi smiled slightly and said, "Hello, Senior Brother Xiangyang."

The man standing opposite Lan Yunxi thought Lan Yunxi would ask him why he was there. Since she didn't answer, he had to say it himself. "Xixi, I transferred to your Blue City University. After losing the last friendly match, I felt that Blue City University might be more suitable for me in terms of skills."

Lan Yunxi didn't react much, nor did she welcome her; she simply said, "Oh."

The man was disappointed and wanted to say something, but then a handsome, nonchalant man came out of the men's restroom. He looked down on everyone and had an arrogant and unruly demeanor.

When Han Yue came out, he only glanced at the man standing in front of Lan Yunxi. When Lan Yunxi saw Han Yue come out, she was as happy as a child, looking up at him, "Let's go."

The two were oblivious to everyone else, showing their affection. Han Yue casually reached out and tidied Lan Yunxi's ponytail, instantly revealing a hickey hidden on the back of her neck.

The cover was quickly put back on. Han Yue knew the man opposite him had seen it. His originally cold, thin lips curled into a slight smile, and he greeted the stranger with exceptional politeness, "You are Xiao Xi's defeated opponent."

This statement is made with certainty and is not a question.

Men can tell a lot about other men at a glance. Han Yue saw admiration in his eyes, which displeased him, but he couldn't be blamed for being impolite.

In addition, this man publicly confessed his love to his girl last time.

Sure enough, the man opposite him looked a little embarrassed. "There are winners and losers in competitions. It's not certain who will lose next time. Nothing is certain."

Han Yue put his arm around Lan Yunxi's shoulder, tightened it, and chuckled, "Quite cultured, his manners should match."

The man opposite, Xiang Yang, couldn't quite understand Han Yue's words. He just watched quietly, showing disdain for his existence. His family and the Lan family were well-matched, and they should be able to get a marriage proposal if they went to ask.

Han Yue affectionately ruffled Lan Yunxi's hair, tucking a stray strand behind her ear. "I'm in a good mood today, so you won't make a mistake. Let me reintroduce you, my fiancée, Lan Yunxi."

Lan Yunxi had already thought of Xiang Yang's public confession on stage last time. She guessed that her Yue-ge was jealous and was now asserting his ownership, which she was happy to accept.

She stood quietly beside him, pursing her lips without saying a word, a smile playing on her lips. This was the first time she had seen her Yue-ge so jealous in public, and she felt quite pleased.

"fiancée?"

These words were of course spoken by Xiang Yang. He was very surprised, as he had not heard any news of the Lan family's engagement in Lan City. When did they get engaged?

Han Yue was too lazy to waste words with this person, and he could see the other party's shock and doubt. "The Xiang family is a decent family in Blue City. Their character should be good. They shouldn't have the gene for stealing someone else's partner. After all, they are surnamed Xiang, not Qiao."

The man was speechless. He did have his own thoughts, but after seeing what was on Lan Yunxi's neck and hearing about the engagement, he didn't want to break them up or cause any trouble. The Xiang family was no ordinary family, although they weren't as powerful as the Lan family. There were plenty of people who wanted to marry him.

"Naturally, our Xiang family is also a well-known family."

Han Yue didn't respond to that. He had already given her a warning. If anyone dared to make advances towards the young girl, he would deal with the Xiang family and Lancheng as well. "Let's go."

Lan Yunxi cooperated by holding his hand, while simultaneously climbing her other hand onto his arm, a gesture that made Han Yue laugh again.

The man watched their departing figures, his heart heavy with regret. He was too late; he should have proposed marriage sooner.
