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

Lan Family Manor.

The person in bed now has many more spots on their body, and the marks on their collarbone are faintly visible under their white, soft, and silky pajamas as they lie down.

The man was shirtless, his head half-resting against the headboard, while the girl leaned against his smooth chest, which was covered in staggered paintings—horizontal and vertical lines of varying thickness.

The girl stretched out her arm in front of the man, looked at her palms and then at her fingernails, and finally glanced at the man's chest. With a hint of heartache, she said, "Brother Yue, how about I cut my nails?"

Han Yue licked the corner of his mouth; his lips were a little dry. He reached out and grabbed the girl's hand to look at it. It was very pretty. The nail polish was light green, and the edges of the nails were inlaid with sparkling diamonds. The diamonds were transparent and reflected the light under the bedside lamp.

Han Yue gently touched the smooth surface of his nails and said cheerfully, "No need, it doesn't hurt."

Lan Yunxi: Doesn't it hurt? It feels like you've scratched really deep.

As she spoke, she bent down and reached out to touch the wounds on Han Yue's body, "This one has scabbed over a bit."

He was a little thirsty and needed to get a drink of water. As he prepared to put his clothes back on, the little girl kept touching her wound and tattoo, which was quite unsettling. He changed the subject, "Um, is Xiaoxi thirsty?"

Lan Yunxi: "I want to drink juice, orange juice, please."

Han Yue gently placed her head on the pillow, then went to put on his pajamas. "I'll go get it now. Is there anything else you'd like to eat?"

"there is none left."

"it is good."

Watching Han Yue's departing figure, Lan Yunxi smiled. Actually, Han Yue didn't plan to touch her that night; it was she who provoked him first. Lan Yunxi knew that Han Yue didn't have much time left in Lan City, and she wanted to do her best to satisfy his desires.

including yourself.

Downstairs, Han Yue, dressed in pajamas and slippers, came down to find Shen Muyun in the kitchen, which made him a little embarrassed.

Feeling inexplicably guilty, perhaps because of what I had done to the young girl, I felt a little guilty facing my mother-in-law, but I still politely greeted her, "Auntie."

Shen Muyun was stewing bird's nest and white fungus soup in the kitchen when she saw Han Yue walking over in his pajamas. She smiled and asked, "Are you hungry?"

Han Yue stood politely outside the door without going into the kitchen. "Xiao Xi is a little thirsty and wants some orange juice, so I came down to make it for her."

At this moment, Shen Muyun was wearing a silk nightgown with jasmine print, her hair was pinned up at the back of her head, and she answered elegantly, without revealing any other meaning, "Bring the bird's nest soup up for her to drink. Drinking so much sour orange soup at night is not good for her stomach. If she is thirsty, let her drink water. This bowl is for you."

Han Yue smiled and replied, "Okay, Auntie."

I always felt that my mother-in-law had come down specifically to prepare this for us, but I didn't expose her. I took two bowls of bird's nest, placed them on a tray, and served them to them.

Lan Yunxi had already sat up. Seeing that Han Yue hadn't brought in oranges, and since she couldn't see what it was from the bed, she asked curiously, "Brother Yue, what is it?"

Han Yue placed the bird's nest on a table to the side, walked to the bedside, and replied, "Auntie made bird's nest. Get up and eat. Do you want me to hold you?"

"No need, you're very gentle, I can get down by myself."

Han Yue: ".............." Does this mean he's too gentle? He felt a little insulted by the girl's unintentional words.

Lan Yunxi, completely oblivious to the hurt her words had caused Han Yue, walked barefoot to the table, sat down on the floor, and moved swiftly.

Seeing this, Han Yue was certain that the little girl was right; it was too light, indeed too light.

"Bird's nest and white fungus soup, why did Mom think of making this? She always made this when I had a sore throat, saying it's good for the throat."

Since Shen Muyun cooked this so late at night, Lan Yunxi couldn't help but feel puzzled. This sentence further confirmed Han Yue's guess. She smiled and said without changing her expression, "It's the change of seasons. Auntie is afraid your throat will be uncomfortable."

Lan Yunxi didn't think about the deeper meaning; she just realized that summer was coming soon and it was indeed time to change seasons.

"Hmm, summer's almost here. Yue-ge, do you like Blue City?"

Han Yue sipped his mother-in-law's bird's nest soup, feeling quite pleased with himself, and replied, "I like it."

Because there are young girls in Blue City.

"I also like the capital city, and I like many other people, but I like you the most."

The unexpected confession almost made Han Yue choke. He swallowed and said, "Eat quickly, and brush your teeth after you finish."

That evening, Lan Yunxi persisted in bringing up this topic, a cute smile playing on her lips, "Oh, okay, do you like me?"

Han Yue wasn't good at constantly saying "I like you" or "I love you," but the girl still wanted to hear him say it: "I like you."

Lan Yunxi laughed happily like a child, "Hahaha, I received it."

Han Yue shook his head helplessly, then reached out and couldn't help but pinch her cheek. "Eat quickly."

"oh."

Han Yue, who had already finished eating, took a tissue to wipe Lan Yunxi's mouth. A text message came in on his phone, sent by Lu Jinnan: You fucking married into the family and aren't coming back.

Upon seeing this message, Han Yue's face turned cold again. He lowered his head and replied: "Are you fucking in love with me? You can't live without me messaging you for a day, can you?"

Lu Jinnan: Mainly because I miss you.

Han Yue: Get lost, go somewhere else and be disgusting.

Lu Jinnan: Let me tell you when. You're not going to skip my wedding, are you? I'm short of best men these days, so you're very important to me.

Han Yue: Remember to send the money.

Lu Jinnan: Didn't you come to Cheng Ge's wedding for free? Now you want money from me? Do you think I have a lot of money?

Han Yue replied in a serious tone: Brother-in-law.

Well, Lu Jinnan had no way to reply to that. There was nothing he could do; after all, they were family.

So you're just bullying him because he's an outsider? Wait until your wedding and then you'll be blackmailed to death.

Lu Jinnan was secretly making plans in his heart.

The following evening.

Because Han Guoguo has to go to work tomorrow, she has to reluctantly end this wonderful trip.

Before leaving, she sent Han Yue a message: Dear brother, I'm boarding the plane.

After sending the message, Han Guoguo put her phone away, determined that she had had her fun and would start working seriously tomorrow.

Su Yu seemed to have gotten used to the fact that Han Guoguo would fall asleep as soon as she boarded the plane. As usual, he brought a blanket and waited. As expected, Han Guoguo looked at the scenery for a while and then fell asleep, sleeping very peacefully.

She rested her head on Su Yu's shoulder.

After a two-day trip, their relationship grew even closer, with Su Yu going from having his arm around her waist to hugging her.

Compared to Han Guoguo's usual carefree and playful nature, she is now behaving extremely well-behaved, creating a stark contrast.

After this trip together, Su Yu got to know Guo Guo better. Deep in her heart, there was a scar she had buried: regret for her family.

A few hours later.

Su Yu dropped Han Guoguo off at the fork in the road leading to the Han family villa and switched cars with Xiao Shuai.

Xiao Shuai quickly got out of the car, moved the suitcase to another spot, then quickly closed the trunk, got into the driver's seat, and waited for the young lady to get in the car. He was neither impatient nor anxious.

Quietly be a blind and deaf driver.

in the car.

After saying goodbye, Han Guoguo flicked her hair and said, "I'm leaving now, bye-bye. Drive slowly on your way back."

Su Yu felt reluctant to part with it, but then said greedily, "Okay, go to sleep early."

Han Guoguo nodded and asked with a smile, "Want a goodbye kiss?"

No sooner had he finished speaking than Su Yu grabbed the back of her head and kissed her. What started as a light kiss turned into a deeper kiss, but Su Yu was also very sensible. After a while, he pulled away and said, "Go ahead. Call me if you need anything."

Han Guoguo blushed. How could she get out of the car without feeling embarrassed? Sometimes, even a slow-witted man can be quite direct. She covered her burning cheek with one hand and said, "I'll stay for another 5 minutes."

Wait a minute, it wouldn't be good if Sister Lu and the others saw us when we got back.

Isn't this blatantly telling others that she's doing something wrong?

Seeing her reaction, Su Yu naturally knew the reason. She was the one who teased the bold, and she was the one who was too shy to get out of the car. He helped to change the subject, "I've already had the photos I took of you developed. I'll get them for you tomorrow."

really.

The topic was successfully changed, and Han Guoguo looked at him in surprise, "When did you take a shower?"

He's such a warm guy, he's pretty quick.

Su Yu glanced at her and said, "Before boarding the plane, I made a photo album and frames. You can see if you like them when we get there."

At that moment, Han Guoguo wanted to kiss this warm man again, but she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to get out of the car that night, so she had no choice but to suppress her excitement. Fifteen minutes later, the blush on her face faded, and Han Guoguo got out of the car, waving goodbye to Su Yu inside.

Han Guoguo's car drove further and further away.

Su Yu didn't start the car, but instead changed his phone's ringtone to: Maybe.

This is a song that Han Guoguo likes. Just like Han Guoguo said, there are many possibilities for everything, and the fact that he can date Han Guoguo is one of those many possibilities.

They helped each other, confided in each other, and made promises to each other...

At the Han family villa, the sound of suitcases being dragged across the cobblestones was exceptionally loud, making a continuous thumping sound.

Xiao Shuai reached out to help, but Han Guoguo gestured with her chin to refuse, saying, "No need, I can do it myself. Come pick me up early tomorrow."

Early?

I really have to thank the eldest son of the Su family; at least I don't have to test my driving skills every morning anymore, it's too difficult.

Xiao Shuai: "Okay, Miss."

The Han couple had calculated that their daughter would definitely be back tonight, so they were waiting in the living room, where they were also discussing solutions.

Hearing the noise at the door, he knew it was his daughter returning, because his son definitely wouldn't be back right now. Mr. Han quickly got up and went to the door. "Guoguo's back! Did you have fun?"

He then reached out and took the suitcase from his daughter's hand, pushed it to the top of the stairs, and asked again, "Do you have anything to put downstairs? If not, Dad will help you carry it up."

Han Guoguo took the bag off her neck and placed it on the sofa. "Brother Yu, no need, no need. I didn't buy anything this time. I'll carry it up myself later."

Since Han Guoguo brought back many souvenirs for everyone when she went to Country A last time, she naturally didn't need to buy them again this time since she was going to Country A again.

Upon hearing his daughter's words, Mr. Han understood and carried his suitcase to his daughter's room.

Han Guoguo walked over to the sofa and sat down next to her mother. She glanced at the documents on the table and asked, "Sister Lu, are you working overtime?"

Han's mother turned and glanced at her daughter, who was clinging to her arm, and replied casually, "Hmm, how are things going?"

"It's great. We went to feed the pigeons together, and also went to the embroidery room. There are a lot of fun places to go. Well, how should I put it? It's very comfortable to be with Su Yu. He's also very considerate. So far, I feel good about it."

Han Guoguo summarized her trip to country A with Su Yu.

Han's mother casually crossed her legs, holding documents in her hand, her face expressionless. "Well, spend more time together. It's okay if it doesn't work out. The most important thing is that he's good to you. There's no need to rush into marriage."

Han Guoguo leaned affectionately on her mother's shoulder, while her father stood at the top of the stairs, unwilling to come down and disturb this hard-won moment.
