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

Half an hour later.

Lan Yunxi came down the stairs in her slippers and comfortable tracksuit, feeling quite cheerful.

A crescent moon hung at the corner of her mouth as she hopped along, and with each step she skipped, Han Yue, who was following behind, felt his heart clench, fearing she might fall down the stairs.

I couldn't help but remind you, but my tone was gentle: "Take care."

Lan Yunxi looked around but didn't see Shen Muyun, so she obediently replied, "Oh, where's Mom?"

Han Yue was still worried, so he quickly walked to the stairwell, took her hand, and led her downstairs, answering casually, "In the greenhouse."

I just saw the bodyguard move a lot of orchids and many other flowers he didn't recognize into the greenhouse; he must be organizing and studying them.

Han Yue wasn't surprised that his mother-in-law liked tending to flowers and plants. He could tell from Shen Muyun's personality and temperament that she was an extremely patient person who loved life and knew how to understand and empathize.

Han Yue had heard that people who like growing flowers also have certain requirements for their clothing and appearance.

Because of the love of beauty.

This statement might make sense when applied to mothers-in-law, because no matter what, they are always dressed appropriately, clean and elegant yet retaining a sense of understated luxury.

This statement doesn't apply to Han Guoguo, because Guoguo likes flowers but doesn't like growing them. Even cacti don't escape death in Han Guoguo's hands. However, she loves beauty and is always chasing after fashion trends.

Upon hearing Han Yue mention that Shen Muyun was in the greenhouse, Lan Yunxi habitually replied, "Okay, I thought Mom was practicing yoga. By the way, does Aunt Yue practice yoga?"

In an instant, Lan Yunxi thought of her future mother-in-law.

Han Yue led her towards the restaurant, not answering the question immediately, but instead showing more concern for the little girl's stomach, "What would you like to eat?"

Lan Yunxi thought for a moment and decided, "Let's have a glass of hot milk. It's getting late, and we'll have lunch soon. Let's have something to eat first."

Upon hearing this, the servant immediately went to prepare.

Han Yue then answered the question from before, "Sister Lu doesn't do yoga; she usually practices Sanda and boxing."

Lu Jie would absolutely not like this kind of exercise that cultivates temperament and maintains a beautiful figure.

They could twist Sister Lu to death.

Han Yue was very certain.

Upon hearing this, Lan Yunxi thought it was incredibly cool and handsome. Everyone who heard it perked up, and she sat up straight, listening intently to Han Yue's words, afraid of missing any important information. She eagerly asked, "What else? I think Auntie is so cool, so incredibly handsome! Do you have any videos of Auntie exercising?"

Definitely not, who would dare to film Sister Lu's videos?

Han Yue glanced at the curious girl and replied, "No, you can come along to watch Sister Lu practice in the capital."

The milk was brought out and placed on the table while they were talking. Han Yue reached out to test the temperature and said it was fine. "Drink it quickly."

From the expectant look in the little girl's eyes, it was clear that she liked Sister Lu very much and wanted to see Sister Lu box. As for the age-old issue of the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationship, Han Yue was really not worried at all.

After Lan Yunxi finished her milk, Shen Muyun patted her cheongsam and came in. She glanced at the two people in the dining room and instructed the maid, "Prepare lunch."

Shen Muyun strolled in slowly, her tone gentle, "Xiaoyue, what do you like to eat?"

"Auntie, I'm fine with anything."

"Okay, I'm going to change my clothes. I accidentally got some mud on them. For lunch, cook some sweet and sour fish, steamed pork with rice flour, and baked shrimp."

The following words were spoken to the maid.

As soon as she finished speaking, Shen Muyun picked up her cheongsam, put on her slippers, and went upstairs. She smiled as she turned around, but it was at Lan Yunxi.

These are all dishes that Han Yue likes to eat. He remembers that when he was with the girl, he was always casual and didn't show that he particularly liked any particular food.

After thinking for a while, he realized that there was only one reason why his mother-in-law knew his preferences so well: Sister Lu.

She smiled unconsciously.

During lunch, there were only three people at the table. Lan Chumu wouldn't be coming back for lunch, as Lan Yunchen's business trip this time was a bit long.

Because of the meal prepared by his mother-in-law, Han Yue ate two bowls of rice and a lot of vegetables at noon to save face. Seeing how much Han Yue enjoyed his meal, Lan Yunxi also ate a lot of vegetables.

Shen Muyun always understands the space of young people. She automatically disappeared and went to the study after lunch. Xixi said that her mother has a habit of reading in the afternoon and practicing yoga and planting flowers in the morning.

A person's innate scholarly air is not something that can be faked. Someone like Shen Muyun has truly cultivated such an air over many years; it's a quality etched into her very being.

Inside the piano room.

The curtains were drawn back, and sparse sunlight streamed onto the piano, illuminating the entire space. A black piano stood in the center, with a long bench placed in front of it.

Under the sunlight, the piano keys shone brightly, dazzling like starlight.

Even though Lan Yunxi was wearing sportswear and sitting on a stool, her slender fingers casually pressing two notes on the piano keys was still beautiful.

Han Yue didn't sit down; he simply crossed his arms and leaned lazily against the side of the zither, looking somewhat nonchalant.

His gaze remained fixed on Lan Yunxi. "Xiao Xi, play a piece."

"You want to hear it."

Han Yue had never heard Lan Yunxi play the piano before, and the atmosphere today was perfect for listening. "Hmm."

"Alright then, what kind of music would you like to hear? Something beautiful, sad, or cheerful?"

Zuo Youhan Yue didn't understand this thing either; he just wanted to see how the little girl played the piano. "Anything is fine."

Finally, Lan Yunxi rested her chin on her hand and thought for a moment, searching her mind for a suitable melody. "Valentine's Day, Yue-ge, I think this song is perfect for us. We should celebrate Valentine's Day every day."

After she finished speaking, she began to play the music according to the score in her mind, her fingers dancing nimbly on the piano keys. A beautiful melody filled the room, the notes drifting in every corner, from the windowsill to the treetops.

The melody was gentle and delicate, captivating the listener. Han Yue stood quietly to the side, watching the self-absorbed girl with a smile on her face. She was beautiful, just like the melody itself.

Han Yue was ultimately marrying above his station with Lan Yunxi. He only knew how to box and at most had some computer skills, while the young lady was proficient in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. In ancient times, she would have been a young lady, while he was not even a person with an official position.

I've found a treasure; I'll cherish it for the rest of my life.

When the piece ended, Han Yue got up and sat down next to her, knowing that the little girl was about to give him a lesson, because Lan Yunxi had asked him more than once if he could play the piano.

It was as if he didn't seem to regret it much.

Sure enough, the next second Lan Yunxi asked, "Brother Yue, can you read musical notes?"

Han Yue answered honestly that he didn't know what this thing was, and that he always slept through music class when he was in school. "No."

This is a bit of a problem; how do you teach someone who can't read musical notes?

Just when Lan Yunxi didn't know how to teach, Han Yue came up with a great idea: "You play and I'll remember."

Rote memorization? That was the first word that popped into Lan Yunxi's mind.

Can the piano be played like this?

At this moment, Lan Yunxi regretted making her Yue-ge learn something he wasn't good at, but looking at Han Yue, who seemed very eager to learn, she couldn't just say he didn't need to learn anymore, as that would definitely be discouraging. "Do you want to remember the order? This is a bit difficult."

Han Yue has a good memory for most things, but it depends on whether he wants to learn. He really doesn't want to learn those scribbled characters; his head is a little foggy looking at them. "You play them and I'll follow along."

"Then I'll play it. I'll choose an easy one. It's okay, Yue-ge. It's okay if you can't play it either. We'll just play it to pass the time. I still love you very much."

After saying that, she kissed Han Yue on the cheek as encouragement.

Caught off guard by the sudden teasing and confession, Han Yue stiffened, a smile playing on his lips. He reached out and ruffled her hair, saying, "I love you too."

Lan Yunxi was delighted and leaned in to kiss him on the cheek again. Han Yue squinted helplessly and uttered his most unsure warning, "Xiao Xi, are you sure?"

If they keep kissing like this, they won't be able to leave the music room later.

Lan Yunxi quickly shook her head, her mind already filled with the embarrassing scene from the previous night. Han Yue had said it in the same tone and with the same expression, grinning as he said, "Let's begin, haha."

Han Yue felt helpless and powerless, with absolutely no solutions.

Some people don't know how to learn, not because they're bad at it, but because they don't want to. Anyone who wants to learn learns faster than many others.

Han Yue is like that at this moment.

To make things easier, Lan Yunxi taught Han Yue to play a children's song, starting with "The Painter".

The spacious music room echoed with cheerful melodies, and notes darted about everywhere.

Han Yue felt insulted, but there was nothing he could do because he really didn't know how to play the song, and besides, it was a young girl who had chosen the piece, so he could only indulge her.

Lan Yunxi felt sorry for Han Yue. Even though his hands were beautiful, playing the piano was very difficult for someone who didn't know how to play. Memorizing by rote was also tiring. She couldn't force Han Yue to learn the piano just because she thought his hands were beautiful.

That would make her feel bad.

in the afternoon.

Lan Yunxi chose a skill that both of them were good at: computers, and prepared to attack each other.

Their story began with hacking each other's computers, which is a good way to refresh one's memory and learn something new.

Each person sat on the carpet with a computer on the floor.

Lan Yunxi excitedly turned on her computer, and Han Yue did the same at the same time. Just as the two were about to start their battle, Lan Yunxi's phone rang, and a few seconds later Han Yue's phone also rang.

They turned to look at each other in tacit understanding, and Han Yue raised his hand to pat Lan Yunxi's head. "No rush, look at your phone first."

"Oh, then you should take a look too."

"Um."

Han Yue picked up his phone, unlocked it, and opened WeChat. He found that Lu Jinnan from the three-person group had called him. The first thing he saw was a photo of Han Guoguo holding hands with a man. Although Su Yu's face was not shown, Han Yue knew it was him.

Then, Lu Jinnan, seemingly bored out of his mind, sent one picture after another: Han Guoguo and Su Yu doing pottery, Han Guoguo feeding pigeons while Su Yu was seen in the background, Han Guoguo blowing bubbles in the square while Su Yu helped her carry things...

Han Yue: ".............." Is this girl planning to make her relationship with the capital city official?

They had a lot of fun.

There really isn't a single day that's easy for me.

Han Yue pinched his brow in annoyance, not intending to reply, but Lu Jinnan, that cheeky guy, kept pressing him: Han Yue, damn it, at this rate, won't I have to call Wild Fruit Sister-in-law? Won't my seniority drop?

Ji Hancheng has been quite free lately, and he even gossiped: If you don't like the title "sister-in-law," you can try calling yourself "ex-husband."

The entire Su family is now hoping that Han Guoguo can marry into the family. If Lu Jinnan is not satisfied with the title of "sister-in-law" in front of Su Xue, Ji Hancheng can guess that Su Xue will make Lu Jinnan her ex-husband.

Lu Jinnan: Can you wish me something good?

Ji Hancheng: No.

Lu Jinnan childishly sent a 40-meter-long sword to the group chat, pointing it directly at Ji Hancheng.

Han Yue: Can I pretend I'm dead?

Lu Jinnan: Don't be angry, don't think too much about it. You've finally gotten to eat meat, why are you thinking about dying every day? You'll still be important on Ye Guo's wedding day.

Han Yue: Get lost.

Ji Hancheng: There's some truth to that. We could consider living.

Han Yue: ".............." Are you all just killing time?
