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

On the table.

The atmosphere was unusually quiet. Han's mother was waiting for Han Guoguo to speak, and Han's father was also waiting for Han Guoguo to speak.

There must be a demon in the abnormal situation.

Han Guoguo looked hesitant, glancing down at her mother who was stirring her bird's nest soup, and then at her father who was drinking plain porridge. The boiled egg in her hand was peeled beyond recognition.

The skin and shell were stuck together, and a large piece was peeled off along with it, leaving a pitted and uneven surface.

Han Guoguo couldn't hold out for more than a few minutes in this atmosphere; it was suffocating. So what if she died? The sooner she died, the sooner she'd be reborn. Deep breaths, deep breaths, deep breaths, try to calm herself.

Han's mother had been watching her daughter's movements out of the corner of her eye, so she naturally noticed these little actions. She stopped stirring with the spoon, crossed her hands on the table, looked up at her daughter who was trying to mentally prepare herself, and said, "Just say what you have to say."

Upon hearing this, Han Guoguo's newly mustered courage deflated like a punctured balloon. Her mother glanced at her watch and reminded her again, "Time is limited."

Sure enough, Han Guoguo mustered her courage again, took a breath, closed her eyes, and said, "Sister Lu, Brother Yu, I'm in love."

The voice just fell.

The entire restaurant was completely silent, and there was none of the questioning or surprise that Han Guoguo had expected; it was as if it had all been anticipated.

Han Guoguo opened one eye and squinted at her parents across from her. She saw that they had started eating again with their heads down. This time, she opened her eyes wide.

It wasn't just that their eyes opened, it widened in confusion and bewilderment. "Did you all know all along?"

Did her brother already tell them? But her brother didn't tell her.

Mr. Han wanted to say he understood, but Mrs. Han's voice came in front of him, calm and showing no surprise, "I didn't know, but I know now."

Han Guoguo: Then why wasn't she surprised as she expected? Is she too resilient? Maybe she's in a relationship.

After finishing her breakfast, Han's mother gently put it down, wiped her lips, and explained why she wasn't confused or surprised. "Guoguo, Mom said she wouldn't interfere with your relationships anymore, and I mean it. As long as you're happy and feel it's right, that's fine. Only you know whether a relationship is good or bad. Just like your brother, to outsiders, Xixi and Han Yue have a big age difference, but only your brother and Xixi know in their hearts that they love each other and are a good match. So it's the same for you. Mom can't tell whether you're happy or not in this relationship."

This was the first time Han's mother had talked to her about relationships since that incident, and she even used her brother as an example. Han Guoguo was very touched. In fact, she no longer cared about her mother's previous promise not to interfere. Now she also wanted her mother to be involved so that her mother wouldn't keep holding onto the past.

Mr. Han also thought that his daughter's sudden confession was out of fear of what had happened before, so he replied in a very understanding tone, "Yes, your mother is right. Your father and I will not interfere in matters of the heart. If you think the other person is good, then go for it. If you don't like them and they bully you, we are your strongest support. Your father and I built this empire for you and your brother."

Han Guoguo felt guilty because her parents were so careful with her feelings. They always tried not to cross her boundaries and put her first. Tears welled up in her eyes, blurring the hard-boiled egg in her hand.

Seeing her daughter on the verge of tears, Han's mother felt a pang of sadness. "Hurry up and go to work after you finish eating. We only have one request: that you and your brother are both alright."

That's all it takes. The couple's motivation for working so hard is their child. Whenever they're tired and want to lie down, they think about how their child doesn't have a support system and they can't give up. Over the years, their child has been the driving force behind their struggles.

Han Guoguo raised her hand and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes with the back of her hand. She smiled and said to her parents, who had been watching her the whole time, "But I want you to be involved! I want to tell you that I'm in a relationship, and I want to tell you who my partner is. I really like our family's principle of honesty. Mom, isn't honesty the principle you and Dad use in your relationship? I really like that principle. I plan to tell you about my happiness and unhappiness from now on, is that okay?"

Upon hearing this, the couple paused, never expecting their daughter to say such a thing. They had always been afraid of crossing Guoguo's bottom line, and even with bodyguards following her, they were not allowed to report on Guoguo's situation. Today, this girl actually said she wanted to be honest and share everything with them in detail.

I'm so touched.

She was definitely moved. This meant that Guoguo had let go of her worries and wanted to share with her parents without any burden. The first one to break down was Han's father, a tear caught in the fine lines at the corner of his eye. "Okay, Dad is willing to listen. I like to hear anything Guoguo wants to say, right, Sister Lu?"

Tears welled up in Han's mother's eyes. She closed them briefly, pursing her lips as if considering something. "Guoguo, you don't have to force yourself to do anything in this family. You and your brother can date freely. When you need your father or me, just say the word, and we'll step in. I..."

Han Guoguo interrupted her mother for the first time, "Mom, but I really admire your relationship with Dad. I want to share this with you. In case I encounter any difficulties in my relationship, wouldn't you be my free analyst?"

With that said, what wouldn't Han's mother understand? A crack finally appeared on her cold and beautiful face. "Then tell me what kind of boy he is. There are still 15 minutes left."

Han's mother didn't say that Han Yue had told the couple everything about Su Yu. Since Guoguo wanted to tell them, they would definitely give her a chance.

Han Guoguo glanced at the time on her watch. Luckily, she had gotten up so early. She started to launch into a long speech. Han's father took the unsightly boiled egg from her hand and handed her a smooth, translucent boiled egg. He then ate the egg that had no nose and no eyes.

She peeled half of the egg and gave it to Han's mother. Han's mother took it and shared it with Han's father. It was an egg that their daughter had peeled, and it smelled delicious.

The couple, in unspoken understanding, quietly ate the eggs that Han Guoguo had peeled.

Watching this scene, Han Guoguo smiled naturally, resting her chin on her hand, and said softly, "He is the eldest young master of the Su family in the capital, the Su family, named Su Yu. He is not only handsome but also refined. Of course, he is definitely not as handsome as Brother Yu. He is very nice to me now and takes good care of me. He is very good at understanding people's thoughts. Whenever I have something I am embarrassed to say or something I don't want to say, he can make a decision for me in the next second or change the subject. He is very warm."

In fact, Han Yue had already thoroughly investigated Su Yu's personality, including her character, romantic history, and methods of doing things, and told the Han couple about it. They listened attentively as if it were the first time they were hearing it, not because the other person was Su Yu, but because it was the first time their daughter was sharing things with them.

This is the most precious thing.

Han's mother: "What you think is good is what truly matters. But it sounds good to you, though. You should observe other aspects more closely."

Father Han: "Yes, what your sister Lu said makes sense. Only by getting to know each other better can we find out if you are really suitable. Guoguo, don't worry about your age. Even if you never get married, our family can still support you."

Afraid of breaking down, Han Guoguo quickly forced a smile and made an OK sign in the air.

After explaining things to her parents, Han Guoguo felt completely relaxed, even her toes felt light. Every cell in her body felt like it was bouncing around. It felt so good. No wonder Brother Yu and Sister Lu have always maintained their relationship by being honest with each other. Good, she'll have to use this principle in the future too.

Su Yu parked his car at the entrance of the Han family villa.

In the car, Han Guoguo happily got in, quickly fastened her seatbelt, and said to Su Yu, who was sitting in the driver's seat, "You don't need to open the passenger door for me anymore. I can open it myself. You can help me when I can't open it in the future."

Han Guoguo is too straightforward. She gets too anxious watching her boyfriend and girlfriend open and close the door. She can open it herself, why is she helping? Wouldn't it be better to save time and rush to work?

Su Yu smiled, "Sure, just tell me what you want in the future, or if you need my help with anything."

Han Guoguo crossed her legs and snapped her fingers. Sister Lu leaned in and said, "OK, this is the right way to do it. Su Yu, from now on, we'll be open about everything. For example, if you suddenly don't like me anymore, you should tell me in advance. Don't make any prelude or anything like that. I'm not that fragile."

Su Yu: "..............." How did the topic turn to breaking up again? Weren't we just talking about how to get along in the future?

"Guoguo, I've never thought about breaking up. I won't bring it up unless you're the one who does it, so can you please stop talking about breaking up all the time?"

Su Yu's expression became more serious, and his brows furrowed.

Han Guoguo didn't actually mean to break up, nor did she mean that. She glanced at Su Yu, whose expression had changed slightly, and hurriedly explained, "No, that's not what I meant. I was just talking about how we should get along in the future. I told my parents about our relationship this morning, so I really didn't mean to break up just now."

After saying that, Han Guoguo nodded affirmatively, afraid that Su Yu would think she was a scumbag.

The car was still moving smoothly, but Su Yu was in shock. She hadn't expected her to tell her parents about their relationship. "You've gone public?"

Han Guoguo nodded, her expression natural and pleasant. "Yes, my family is democratic and supports free love. Does your family support free love?"

Su Yu wanted to say that his family was very supportive. If Guo Guo agreed to get the marriage certificate today, he suspected that his mother would rush to give him the betrothal gifts, hoping that he would get married in the next second and have a child in the next second.

But he didn't say what was on his mind for fear of scaring Guoguo.

He couldn't help but smile, pressing the accelerator a few millimeters higher, increasing the speed steadily. "My family is free too, so I'll pick you up for lunch."

Now that it's all public, there's no need to change cars. The driver must be exhausted; he can protect the vehicle.

"Sure, since Xiaoxue and the others already know, let's just keep our relationship open."
