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

Lan Yunxi had a computer in front of her, her legs crossed, and her head bowed as she earnestly replied to messages.

With a smile of blessing on her lips, inside the Fairy Fortress, Su Xue used the same method to save all the photos from Han Guoguo's WeChat Moments and send them to the group.

Fearing that everyone might miss out on this sweet treat, they always maintained the spirit of sharing joy rather than keeping it to themselves.

Good things should be shared; this is a principle that Su Xue has always adhered to.

Lan Yunxi smiled as she scrolled through the photos Su Xue had sent, one by one. She nudged Han Yue's arm with her elbow, her gaze still fixed on the phone screen. "Brother Yue, look! Sister Guoguo is on vacation!"

Upon hearing this, Han Yue narrowed his eyes and turned his gaze to Lan Yunxi's phone. He was speechless because the order of the photos Su Xue posted was exactly the same as that of Lu Jinnan.

These two are truly blessed; they're a perfect match.

Their ideas are exactly the same.

He responded with a faint "Mm".

After looking at the photos, Lan Yunxi scrolled down and could feel Su Xue's excitement from the captions: Guoguo, are you moving closer to my family's household registration?

Su Xue: Ahhhhh, my future sister-in-law!

Tang Junyao: Be mindful of yourself, you're pregnant, so behave yourself.

Su Xue: Can you understand how it feels when there's an older single man in the family who finally gets married? I wish him well with tears in my eyes.

Han Guoguo: Stop, tone down your performance, I'm afraid I can't take it anymore.

Su Xue: I love you, little sister-in-law.

Tang Junyao: He's obsessed.

Lan Yunxi found the messages amusing. She looked up at Han Yue and saw that his face had darkened, his long fingers constantly twirling his phone as if he were considering something. "Should I reply?"

Seeing Han Yue's dark expression, Lan Yunxi lost the will to reply to the message. She pushed the computer away a little, turned around and straddled Han Yue's lap, threw her phone on the ground, wrapped one arm around his neck, and gently stroked his brow with the other. "Don't frown. Look how happy Guoguo looks in the photo."

After saying that, she pecked Han Yue on the lips. Han Yue didn't move, his dark and deep eyes darkened, and the gloom in his heart was dispelled by the girl's kiss. "Mmm."

Han Yue held her with one arm; Lan Yunxi's waist was slender, easily encircled by one hand, completely under his control.

Lan Yunxi wasn't in a hurry to lean on his shoulder like a child. She put all her weight on him, playing with his back with her hands, completely unaware that their posture was inappropriate.

Suppressing his emotions, Han Yue picked up his phone and texted Guo Guo: Are you planning to become a professional internet celebrity, or are you preparing to be a target?

Han Guoguo was clearly playing on her phone at the moment, and quickly replied: Speak like a human.

After reading the message, Han Yuemei felt sorry for him and her forehead throbbed: "Could you have posted more on your WeChat Moments?"

Han Guoguo understood: I'm not stupid. Others can't see us. I set the access permissions so that only you few can see us. This time, I also added Sister Lu and the others. Aren't I smart?

Han Guoguo has no intention of making it official in public. She's in a normal, legitimate relationship, not a reality show romance. It doesn't need to generate traffic or hype, so why would she want to ruin it by letting others know?

It's enough for the people she cares about and those who can wish her well to know.

That's what Han Guoguo thought anyway.

The two siblings share the same idea; it's rare to find someone on the same wavelength.

After reading Han Guoguo's message, Han Yue breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that his younger sister was quite smart and hadn't let herself get too caught up in love.

However, Han Yue didn't intend to praise his sister in the subtitles, lest it become irrelevant: Why don't you change your name to Screen-Spapping King?

Han Guoguo: That's too much! I don't smoke or drink, and you're going to take away my little hobby of scrolling through social media.

Finally, Han Yue recalled Han Guoguo's radiant smile and relented: Be careful.

Han Guoguo: I understand. I hope you and your sister-in-law Xixi will be happy.

At least this girl has a conscience; Su Yu will suffer for it.

Su Yu, who always acts according to procedure, actually abandoned his work to accompany this girl in her crazy antics, which was an exception.

Put your phone away.

The little girl was still playing behind him, fiddling with her hair and earlobes. He wasn't someone whose mind was filled with desire, but he couldn't resist the little girl's teasing. Coupled with her posture, a surge of restlessness rose within him. "Xiao Xi, come down and play on the computer."

Lan Yunxi didn't back away or get down. She wrapped her arms around his neck, their eyes meeting, her delicate face slightly smiling. "Are you done?"

"Um."

Han Yue responded indifferently, unsure of what else to say at this moment.

Lan Yunxi got off him and sat down next to him, ready for the competition. "Okay, let's begin."

The little girl didn't seem to have done anything wrong, which made Han Yue even more helpless. It was as if she wasn't the one who had just teased him. "Let's begin."

Night has fallen.

Inside a villa in country A.

The living room is filled with a dazzling array of snacks, fruits, and drinks.

Han Guoguo doesn't drink, so naturally she wouldn't prepare anything. She likes Su Yu, but she's not so desperate as to offer herself to him. Occasionally kissing him to change the melancholy prince's personality is still acceptable.

He's handsome, refined, and a true gentleman, but sometimes he's too reserved and overthinks things.

Han Guoguo has obsessive-compulsive disorder. Whenever Su Yu hesitates or overthinks, she kisses him to temporarily short-circuit his brain and make him forget those complicated problems.

Why not live happily and make peace with yourself?

Why do we have to cram so many "whys," "shoulds," and "cannots" into our heads? It's exhausting.

Han Guoguo and Su Yu had both showered and changed into their pajamas in their respective rooms and were sitting on the sofa, facing each other with cards in their hands.

This kind of scene, this kind of leisurely pace, is probably something Su Yu has only experienced once in his life, but it feels great, very relaxing, and very happy. "Do you need me to let you have your way?"

Han Guoguo glared at her with a defiant look, "You look down on me?"

Su Yu was afraid she would be unhappy if she lost, so he asked her beforehand if she wanted to participate in the cheating segment. He was also honest, saying, "That's not what I meant."

He just didn't know whether she wanted to win or lose; she probably wanted to win.

"We'll play by our own strength. Besides, this doesn't require any brainpower; it's just a contest of size and luck. Let me explain the rules: if I bet 10 and you bet 8, I win, and then you have to answer one question for me."

Han Guoguo carefully explained the rules, without feeling that the game was insulting to intelligence. After all, she didn't know how to play cards, or rather, she didn't know how to play any kind of cards.

Su Yu felt his IQ had been lowered, but there was nothing he could do because the young lady was very interested and excited, so he could only accompany her.

"Can."

"Let's begin."

As soon as it started, Han Guoguo played a King, and Su Yu played a Jack. Guoguo won the first round. The two people, who were almost 60 years old combined, were playing a game of comparing cards and had a great time.

If Han Yue found out, he'd probably have to admire Su Yu even more.

Anyway, Han Yue would never play the game of comparing ages with his sister.

Han Guoguo won the first round. Excitedly, she moved her waist, her supple waist swaying like a water snake. Su Yu glanced at her and quickly looked away, waiting for the barrage of questions.

"Then let me ask you this: when we were eating hotpot together, I suspected you were the one who saved me, why didn't you admit it? Were you afraid I'd cling to you?"

Han Guoguo asked the first question that had been on her mind.

Su Yu was stunned for a moment, thinking of the frank conversation they had had last night. "When I saved you, I didn't know who you were, and I didn't expect you to repay me. It was just a small favor."

What he said was true. Su Yu would have helped anyone else too. He couldn't just stand by and watch a girl be kidnapped without doing anything. However, he didn't tell Han Guoguo that he had broken his leg and had been in the hospital for a long time.

Han Guoguo asked again, still somewhat doubtful, "Really? Don't you feel like I want to cling to you?"

"No." Su Yu's tone was very certain.

After the first round of questions, the card game continued, and everyone played their cards politely, exchanging pleasantries.

Su Yu won the second round. He rubbed the back of the card with his fingertip, seemingly pondering what to ask. After a few seconds, he finally asked, "Why did you choose the pediatrician?"

Han Guoguo sat up straight, her legs originally crossed with her right leg over her left, but now she changed position, shifted her bottom, and prepared to speak in detail, "This question, I thought you were going to ask me about my love life, but it's actually a coincidence, you know why I went to Blue City."

As she spoke, Han Guoguo raised her hand—the hand with the scar hidden by her watch—to indicate that this was the reason for going to Blue City.

Su Yu suddenly didn't want to talk anymore. His eyes darkened slightly, and he said gently, "If you don't want to talk, we can change the subject. Let's talk about things that make you happy."

Han Guoguo shook her head. "It's not as sad as you think. Actually, this story started with my act of bravery. My initial motivation for becoming a pediatrician was to be happy."

Hearing this, his previously dim eyes brightened, and he listened intently with a look of inquiry.

"It was probably my first year in Blue City. I was unfamiliar with the place and didn't even know how to take a car. But I had to survive there, so I had to understand the surrounding environment and buildings. I wandered around the area based on the map, but I didn't dare to go too far."

"I happened to come across an artificial lake. I thought it looked pretty and wanted to go see it. But when I got closer, I saw a lot of people gathered around and heard a woman crying. When I got closer, I found out that a child had fallen into the lake. The child had just been pulled out by people nearby, but he was unresponsive and there was no doctor around."

"It was quite a coincidence. Just a week ago, our teacher had taught us first aid techniques. I boldly stepped forward and told the anxious mother that I knew first aid and could help her. Perhaps the mother had no other choice but to believe me. I performed first aid on the child according to the steps the teacher had taught me. After half an hour of effort, the child was saved."

"At that time, I found myself and felt a great sense of accomplishment and excitement. At the same time, when I saw that mother holding her child and crying, I thought of Sister Lu. I wondered if she would be anxious and worried after my suicide."

Looking back, it seems like God was reminding her that she had made a mistake and had arranged it for her.

As she spoke, tears streamed down Han Guoguo's face. There was regret, self-blame for her ignorance, remorse for letting down her mother, and a sense of letting go of the past.

Crystal-clear tears streamed down Han Guoguo's cheeks and fell onto the sofa. Su Yu's chest tightened, and he regretted asking such a question.
