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

Yan Na wasn't in a hurry. She remained calm and composed, sitting on the sofa drinking her wine. Her long, slender, white fingers held the wine glass, making her look charming and sexy.

She has excellent body proportions, and her slender waist is so small that you could wrap your hand around it.

She neither urged Lan Yunchen nor interfered, but quietly waited for Lan Yunchen to speak on his own.

After a while.

Lan Yunchen put away the documents, spread her legs, placed the documents on the table, and looked up at the woman who remained calm, as if she didn't care about anything and had everything under control. "I can barely accept the money, but I want to add a few conditions."

Yan Na didn't object. Negotiating terms requires both parties to state their conditions before deciding whether to cooperate and whether they can accept them. She parted her red lips and said, "Go ahead."

Lan Yunchen observed everything about her, including her subtle movements and eyes. "If something unexpected happens outside of the agreement, how do you plan to handle it?"

Yan Na wasn't nervous; she simply replied calmly, "For example?"

"Feelings." These two words were spoken by Lan Yunchen while looking at Yan Na. After speaking, he did not look away, wanting to see her reaction and whether she could remain so calm.

Sure enough, Yan Na paused for a moment when she heard those two words, but she quickly recovered after a few seconds, showing her impressive composure.

They also have a good ability to learn.

Yan Na's lips curled into a slight smile, alluring and captivating. "Are you afraid of falling in love with me? Or are you afraid I'll fall in love with you?"

After putting the documents away, Lan Yunchen wasn't in a hurry. He crossed his legs again, placed his hands on his lap, and asked, "Are they all here?"

"You might be overthinking it. Even if something like this happens, it's a one-way street; it can't happen in both directions. But since you've brought it up, let me explain beforehand."

Lan Yunchen pressed on, "Then I'll trouble President Yan to explain."

Mr. Yan?

Yan Na wasn't surprised. At the banquet today, her father kept urging her to find a man, and it was clear that the man in front of her had heard him and knew about her situation.

There's nothing to hide. The initial intention of wanting to cooperate was to solve the endless pressure from her parents to get married. Some of her classmates even rented girlfriends to take the fall for their parents.

Compared to Yan Na's attempt to deceive her parents using Lan Yunchen's photos, this was a relatively minor matter. This idea actually originated from a fleeting thought she had back in H country.

Unbeknownst to Lan Yunchen, Yan Na had already used her computer skills to draw a portrait of Lan Yunchen that was seven-tenths like him, and had taken the blame for herself once.

One day, Yan's mother asked Yan Na to meet her good friend's son. At that time, Yan Na was thinking about how to refuse, so she handed her mother a photo of Lan Yunchen, who looked about 70% like him, and lied: "Mom, I have someone pursuing me. This is my client. He is abroad."

At the time, Yan's mother was looking at her phone with some doubt. Yan Na assured her that she was still considering it and would be together when the time was right. Only then did Yan's mother believe her and let Yan Na go.

A month has passed, and there's still no word from Yan Na. When asked, she only gives perfunctory answers, which makes the Yan couple anxious again.

Yan Na wants to use Lan Yunchen's photos from now on. Although they only look 7% like him, he is the real person. If the person himself finds out in the future, he will be sued. As someone who is always careful, Yan Na must take precautions to prevent future troubles.

Yan Na has always believed in Murphy's Law, which states that the more you try to cover something up, the more likely it is to be discovered, even though what Yan Na does contradicts this law.

However, there is also the risk of being discovered, because since this man is not from the capital, the probability of being discovered is greatly reduced.

So she decided to rent the photos in advance. Anything that can be solved with money is a minor matter. Besides, it's not like she's dragging him to get married; she's just using the photos.

It's not that the prototype is only 7/10 of the prototype.

At that time, any intimate photos can be easily photoshopped, and she can avoid many disasters.

For Yan Na, as long as she can solve her mother's various ways of pressuring her to get married, her various blind dates, and her various phone calls, she just wants to focus on her work.

Yan Na gave the initiative to Lan Yunchen, "So how do you want to resolve this? I can't keep setting the conditions. Although this cooperation is different from business cooperation, I also adhere to the principle of equality between the two parties. You can speak. I said from the beginning that you can put forward your conditions. Once the cooperation is reached, I don't want too many problems to follow. I don't have that much time to solve them. I hope you understand."

Her family was pressuring her to get married, and since she was the eldest in the family, both her younger brother and sister were targeting her. If this issue wasn't resolved, it would affect her work.

"If you don't want to be conscripted, that's fine too. I don't force people to do things against their will."

Lan Yunchen seemed to agree with her. From the woman's words, one could see her previous negotiating principles: "My opinion is that I have no opinion. Subsequent developments will depend on the situation, how about that?"

Who knows what will happen next?

In Lan Yunchen's opinion, this woman was very interesting. At least she was independent and had unique ideas. He had heard of people faking marriages, but he had never heard of needing to rent photos and edit them.

Yan Na didn't object. "Okay, the agreement is for two years. If you get a girlfriend during that time, you can terminate the lease early. Don't worry, I won't cause you any inconvenience, and you won't need to pay any penalty."

"The agreement is for two years. If any unforeseen events occur during this period, your photos will be removed from the agreement, and I will pay the penalty for early termination of the cooperation." For example, if your mother finds out, it's clear that the agreement has already been broken up.

Lan Yunchen laughed at her generosity, saying she really was a staunch non-marriage advocate. "No objection. One million for a photo, I'm still making a pretty good profit."

Hearing him say he had no objections, Yan Na deftly picked up the pen, signed her name, and pressed her fingerprint. Looking at her neat and efficient manner, Lan Yunchen felt like he was being kept, which seemed rather amusing.

If others knew that Lan Yunchen was making extra money by selling his good looks, they would probably think that there was a financial problem within the Lan Clan.

This woman is quite bold; she only sought to cooperate with him because he had saved her life, without even fearing he might be a fraudster.

Lan Yunchen also picked up the documents, signed them, and pressed his fingerprint. Yan Na picked up the documents, glanced at them, and her gaze settled on his name. "Lan Yunchen, nice name, beautiful handwriting. It'll be a pleasure working with you."

Yan Na stood up first and shook hands with Lan Yunchen. "I will make the payment to you on time every time I request the photos. Is there an error in the account information on the contract?"

Lan Yunchen: "No problem, Mr. Yan will arrange it."

The two shook hands briefly before parting ways. She didn't linger any longer, taking one of the agreements with her and leaving without stopping.

After Yan Na left, Lan Yunchen's phone rang. It was Yan Na calling. Without any opening remarks, she said, "Your WeChat ID is my phone number with an 'h' in front of it. Contact me if you need anything. I'll reply when I see it. That's all. Send me a single photo of yourself, one that I can edit."

Lan Yunchen replied, "Okay."

After hanging up the phone, Lan Yunchen added Yan Na's contact information and saved her as "h".

The Han family was filled with cheers at this moment.

The kitchen was like a battlefield, with a bunch of people crammed together, fiddling with their favorite things, and everyone had a smile on their face.

Shen Muyun was teaching Han's mother how to make pastries. Han's mother had taken off her coat and was now only wearing a casual shirt with the sleeves rolled up to the top and an apron around her neck.

Han Yue put his arm around Lan Yunxi's shoulder, and Lan Yunxi wrapped her arms around his waist from behind. The two leaned against the bar and watched them work on the new products.

Han Guoguo's face was covered in flour. Someone who had only cooked rice but never made noodles would only make a mess of flour everywhere when handling it, it was a complete disaster.

Seeing this, Han Yue's expression was indescribable, and he couldn't bear to speak, "Those who know you would think you're learning from your aunt, but those who don't would think you have some deep-seated grudge against flour."

"Shut up! Are you even my brother? Hurry up and wipe my face. There's flour on my eyelashes, hurry up!"

Han Guoguo glared at Han Yue with dissatisfaction and spoke up.

Han Yue used his free hand to grab a tissue and wiped Han Guoguo's face haphazardly, almost like wiping a table.

Lan Yunxi took out her phone and said with a grin, "Let me take a picture for you so you can post it on social media later."

How could a queen of social media posts be without any content? Han Guoguo thought this was a good idea, and it would also let Su Yu see how virtuous she was, even if it was just for show.

"Please take good photos of me, the kind that are aesthetically pleasing and convey a sense of virtuousness."

Han Guoguo stated her requirements.

"How about I set up some lights for you and do a live stream? You're always making a fuss," Han Yue said with a hint of disdain.

Han Guoguo smeared flour on her hands and flung it at Han Yue. Han Yue reacted quickly and pulled Lan Yunxi back a few steps, narrowly avoiding getting flour on her.

"I didn't ask you to take the picture. I asked Sister-in-law Xixi to take the picture. What's it to you? What's it to you?" Han Guoguo tilted her head back and arrogantly retorted to her brother.

Shen Muyun was very skillful, making lotus flowers, rabbits, and all sorts of other patterns. This made Han Guoguo want to give up and prepare to steal the pictures. Why make something when there are ready-made ones?

Han's mother's skills were relatively poor; she only made little rabbits and little dogs.

Xi Xi was very sensible and gave Han's mother a thumbs up, "Sister Lu, you're awesome."

Han's mother laughed, "Your mother is still prettier. It seems I'm not very good at this."

"That's good. The first time I made it, it went into the trash can." Shen Muyun was always so good at comforting people.

A man dressed in casual clothes walked in through the door; who else could it be but Lan Yunchen?

The meaning behind pushing a suitcase is quite clear.

"Brother, are you done with your work?" Lan Yunxi released Han Yue's waist and took his arm, very affectionately.

Lan Yunchen glanced at the mess in the kitchen, then at Han Guoguo covered in flour, and found it difficult to comment. With Shen Muyun's finished product already in the oven, and only Han Guoguo's illegible creation on the counter, it was truly impossible to tell what they were making. "Hmm, what are you guys making?"

Lan Yunxi explained, "Pastries."

Han's mother nodded to Lan Yunchen, and Lan Yunchen spoke first, "Auntie, I'm sorry to bother you."

This means that Lan Yunchen plans to sleep at the Han family's house that night.

"No need to disturb me, the room is ready, you can come anytime."

Lan Yunchen thanked her again, "Thank you, Auntie."

Shen Muyun glanced at her son, still feeling that something was wrong, but after thinking for a moment, she swallowed back the question she wanted to ask.

Han Guoguo had already washed her hands and asked Xixi to send her the pictures. With a serious expression, she began to cheat by posting on her Moments, stealing pictures and posting all the beautiful photos, including one of herself covered in pink, to her Moments: "Let's learn a new skill today. Perfectly done."

After I finished sending it, I went upstairs to change my clothes, ready to wait for the delicious pastries.

Han Yue politely led Lan Yunchen to the room upstairs to check on her, saying, "Just let me know if you need anything, I'll satisfy you in every way."

Thoughtful and impeccable.

Lan Yunchen looked around and was quite satisfied. At least the room layout was the same as his previous room in Lan City. It was a copy, and it felt very homey, without any sense of unfamiliarity.

Seeing that he was satisfied, Han Yue carried the suitcase inside for him. "Okay, if you're not satisfied, let me know in advance. You have to be considerate no matter what."

"I won't leave it empty." Lan Yunchen smiled.

Lan Yunchen has always been a keen observer. Looking at the entire villa, everything is new except for Han Guoguo's room and the master bedroom, which haven't been touched. All the other rooms have been completely renovated.

Lan Yunxi has been very happy these past few days, especially since Han's mother promised to take her to the company, the dock, and boxing tomorrow.

The girl will spend the whole day with Han's mother tomorrow; she really wants to see how her future mother-in-law works.

I'm very curious.

Su Yu was surprised to see Han Guoguo's WeChat Moments post at home. He was amazed that the usually carefree Han Guoguo could make such exquisite pastries.

Checking Han Guoguo's WeChat Moments has become a daily routine for Su Yu.

Su Yu: You did all of this?

Han Guoguo first sent a shy emoji, followed by a series of messages: Where are you asking?

Su Yu sent a question mark in confusion: ?

Han Guoguo replied without batting an eye: "In my WeChat Moments, I'm an all-around home runner, but in real life, I really don't have that skill."

Han Guoguo: I stole the picture, just pretending I'm good at it.

Su Yu: "............."
