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

at this time.

The long table in the courtyard of the Han family villa was already full of people.

Ji Hancheng, Tang Junyao, Lan Yunxi, and Han Yue were sitting on one side, while Lu Jinnan, Su Xue, Han Guoguo, and Su Yu were sitting opposite them.

From the moment his buttocks were glued to the stool, Ji Hancheng had been taking care of Tang Junyao. "Wife, what do you want to eat? I'll get it for you. Let's eat less barbecue, it's too spicy. Do you want some kiwi?"

Constipation is a common problem in late pregnancy, which is a major concern for Ji Hancheng.

So he didn't dare let Tang Junyao eat too much barbecue, and Tang Junyao didn't plan to eat much either, lest the man become overly nervous. "Get me a can of yogurt, and that little cake, I want something sweet."

Ji Hancheng reached out and placed all the food Tang Junyao wanted in front of her. "Okay."

In contrast, Lan Yunxi was completely different. She didn't need Han Yue to lift a finger when she wanted to eat anything; she would reach out and get it herself, even asking Han Yue, "Brother Yue, what do you want to eat? I'll get it for you."

Han Yue can't always be the one taking care of her; she should also learn to take care of Han Yue in the future, and they should work together.

Hearing this, Han Yue was taken aback by the sudden offer of help, but after a few seconds he smiled and said, "Anything is fine, you decide."

Su Xue didn't act like a pregnant woman at all. She stood up and sat down easily, taking care of herself. Lu Jinnan, who was standing next to her, felt his forehead throb. "Grandma, give me a chance to show off. You should sit down."

"I'm just giving you face in public. Fine, you can do it. Get me a glass of lemonade, it looks pretty good."

Han Guoguo was also taking care of Su Yu, but Su Yu was obviously taking care of her as well. It could be said that they were taking care of each other. Han Guoguo was taking care of Su Yu because, after all, it was the Han family. Apart from being his girlfriend, she was also the hostess.

Su Yu takes care of Han Guoguo because he has a deep-rooted male chauvinism and believes that boys should take care of girls.

The responsibility should also be borne by the boys.

"It's rare for us all to get together, so we can't just sit here eating and drinking. We have to use our strengths, like singing or dancing."

This suggestion came from Lu Jinnan, who glanced at everyone at the table.

Su Xue thought her husband was right, so she picked up a grape and put it into Lu Jinnan's mouth as a sign of praise, "That makes sense."

"Thank you, honey, mwah!"

"Mwah!"

Ji Hancheng looked at Lu Jinnan across from him with disdain, "How about we let you use Han Yue's room for a bit?"

Han Yue objected, saying, "It's priceless, so I won't rent it out."

This is her and Xiao Xi's room. What are you thinking? Going to his room to show off your love? You're overthinking it.

Tang Junyao: "Luckily, Yan Feifei said she was busy today, otherwise I would have had to hold on until I got back."

There was plenty of dog food (a Chinese slang term for public displays of affection), and everyone present was in pairs. If Yan Feifei were here, she would be single, with no one to pair up with. The only person beside her was Hei Hu.

Xu Mingkai has recently been sidelined and has been unemployed as a driver for a long time. He is currently working overtime at the company, a truly miserable worker.

Since she became pregnant, Xu Mingkai's life has been shrouded in darkness, with no light at the end of the tunnel and endless overtime work. The only consolation for him is that his overtime pay has increased.

As soon as the topic of playing games came up, Han Guoguo and Lu Jinnan were on the same page. Under the table, Su Yu held Han Guoguo's hand and said, "Tell me what games you want to play. I'll arrange everything perfectly for you, and I guarantee you'll be satisfied."

Han Yue looked up at his sister, whose face was beaming with a bright smile. He could tell she was genuinely happy. Meanwhile, Su Yu, who was busy taking care of his oblivious sister with one hand, didn't seem to notice Guo Guo's quirky personality at all.

She smiled faintly.

"Come on, let's get things arranged. It's rare to come to Han Yue's villa, rare for everyone to get together, and rare for little Princess Xixi to be on summer vacation. It's all rare, so let's have some fun!" Lu Jinnan said with a smile.

Ji Hancheng offered a lukewarm compliment, though his tone betrayed no genuine appreciation: "Your level of education has improved, and you use parallel sentences quite well."

Lu Jinnan: The key point is this, it's the feeling, okay?

As soon as she finished speaking, Han Guoguo let go of Su Yu's hand. "I'm going to get something." She then stood up and ran into the villa.

Everyone at the table was dumbfounded. Han Guoguo was so fast that she was already out of sight. Ji Hancheng raised his drink to Su Yu across the table and said, "Not bad."

Su Yu did not answer that question, but he knew what Ji Hancheng meant. He meant that Guoguo was prone to problems, like how she suddenly left without anyone knowing what she was doing.

But Su Yu wasn't in a hurry.

A moment later, Han Guoguo returned with an unopened delivery box. She placed it on the ground, and Su Yu was about to go over to help when Han Guoguo stopped him, saying, "No need, you can sit down."

But Su Yu still stood up, walked to her side, and helped her dismantle it.

When it comes to unpacking packages, Han Guoguo is a pro. She just grabs the bottle opener from the table and cuts the tape with one stroke.

Su Yu opened the box, took out the contents, and placed them on the ground.

Han Guoguo was taking it apart right next to Su Xue. Su Xue was the first to speak up, her face full of surprise, her voice suddenly rising, "Acupressure mat..."

"Big sister, are you planning to have Yao Yao and me give birth to our child in your Han family?"

"Oh dear, pregnant women get special treatment; if they lose the game, their husbands will take their place," Han Guoguo solemnly arranged for her to take the blame.

Lu Jinnan: "So, this thing is just a product exclusively for us men, specially prepared for us?"

"You should be grateful. I haven't even used it yet, but I'm giving it to you to use. It's still warm."

Tang Junyao and Lan Yunxi were both laughing. Lan Yunxi was curious why she would buy herself acupressure mat. "How do you plan to use it? To massage the soles of your feet?"

Doesn't it hurt? When she watched a variety show, she saw other people stepping on it and their faces were contorted in pain. You could feel how much pain they were in just by looking at the screen.

Han Guoguo laid the acupressure mat behind Lu Jinnan, and Su Yu helped her. It was as if it was tailor-made for Lu Jinnan. After laying it out, she stood up and said, "Yeah, when I watched TV, I felt that the pain they felt was really intense. I wanted to buy it and try it. I didn't expect to be able to use it today. Good things should be shared, right? Let's all try it together."

Han Yue pinched his brow. He thought his sister had already reached her limit by buying all sorts of weird toys, but now she was even using a pressure point mat, just to feel the soreness. He felt sorry for Su Yu for a few seconds and said, "Eat more."

These words were spoken to Su Yu, but Su Yu did not think there was anything wrong with Han Guoguo's behavior; instead, he laughed.

Han Guoguo laid out the acupressure mat and sat down again, beginning to explain the rules, "We're going to play a game that really tests your brainpower, something like a 180-degree turn..."

Han Yue: "As long as you're sure you can play it."

Han Guoguo: I feel like my brother looks down on me.

He rolled his eyes at Han Yue and continued, "This game is played in reverse. For example, if the first person says 'left hand,' the next person has to raise their right hand. Or, if someone stands up, they have to stay still. The loser walks from one end of the pressure point mat to the other."

Han Guoguo hadn't measured the room's dimensions or understood square footage, but the acupressure mats that arrived today were perfect for the gathering—the size was just right, and there were plenty of them.

Ten pieces, 40 by 60, pieced together, require no endurance to reach the finish line.

Games start.

Ji Hancheng was the first to start. Long before Han Guoguo had set up the game, the couple had cheated for a while. "Wife, when I say stand up, you don't need to move while sitting."

Tang Junyao heard this, and Xixi naturally heard it too. She knew that her brother-in-law didn't want her sister to be tired. Lan Yunxi pretended not to know and helped her cheat.

"Stand still."

Tang Junyao didn't move as agreed, instead accelerating the game's progress. "Speak."

Lan Yunxi shut up, and the next second, she cried.

After waiting a while, Han Yue looked at Su Yu with a half-smile, stuck his tongue against his teeth, and said, "Smile."

Upon hearing this, everyone laughed, because Han Yue wanted Su Yu to cry. How could a grown man possibly act like he was crying? Lu Jinnan might be able to, but Su Yu couldn't.

Han Guoguo felt that her brother was doing it on purpose, and his attitude started to turn sour. Before his sister could speak, Han Yue shrugged and said, "You set the rules of the game, and you bought the acupressure mat."

It had nothing to do with him. Han Guoguo never expected that Su Yu would be the first to experience what she bought, and she was speechless.

Fortunately, she even placed the acupressure mat behind Lu Jinnan.

Can't your brother see such an obvious hint?

Su Yu squeezed Han Guoguo's fingers to comfort her, "It's okay, I'll go test the quality of the acupressure mat you bought."

Han Guoguo felt a little sorry for her. "Okay, if you walk a little faster, you'll be done."

Han Yue looked at Su Yu with amusement, while Ji Hancheng calmly continued to take care of Tang Junyao, and Lu Jinnan harbored a gloating thought.

Su Yu took off his shoes, took a deep breath, mentally prepared himself, and began to step on the acupressure mat. A piercing pain shot straight to his brain. He endured it, but his subtle expression was noticed by Ji Hancheng and Han Yue. The two of them grabbed their drinks in unison to cover up their smiles.

With a soft pat, Tang Junyao gently slapped the man beside her, who was trying not to laugh. "Schadenfreude, are you sure you won't go up there later?"

Ji Hancheng replied confidently, "Even if Lu Jinnan went up ten times, I still couldn't get up there."

This kind of game is child's play for him, a piece of cake, it doesn't require any intelligence.

The confidence of the man beside her left Tang Junyao speechless. Su Yu's facial expression looked relaxed, and he didn't seem to be in much pain, but Tang Junyao noticed his deliberate forbearance.

Half a minute later, Su Yu finished the entire process, appearing quite calm. There was none of the heart-wrenching screams Lu Jinnan had expected, which was a bit disappointing. "Wild Fruit, the acupressure mat you bought wasn't a cheap knock-off, was it?"

Han Guoguo: You're the knock-off! I bought this one for a fortune, it's expensive, okay?

Because Su Yu was present, Han Guoguo refrained from scolding Lu Jinnan to maintain her image.

Questioning Han Guoguo's purchasing power is absolutely intolerable. "How could that be? I bought the thicker, harder, upgraded version."

Lu Jinnan: Then why is Su Yu expressionless, as if he feels no pain at all, and his brows aren't even furrowed?

Are the soles of your feet thick?

Or are the socks extra thick?

After Su Yu sat down in the chair, the soles of his feet, hidden inside his shoes, were both itchy and painful. That tingling sensation still lingered, so he secretly rubbed his feet under the table.

Han Yue clenched his fist, watching Su Yu's performance. "Not bad for endurance."

Su Yu smiled politely in response, but only he knew the unpleasant things he was doing under the table.

It's both itchy and painful.

Su Yu's composure made Han Guoguo doubt the quality of the acupressure mat she had bought, and she asked with concern, "Does it hurt?"

Su Yu leaned close to Han Guoguo's ear and whispered, "It hurts quite a bit, you'd better not lose."

Han Guoguo: "............" So Su Yu was pretending that he wasn't in pain just now?

How could you possibly hold back like that?

That's the enhanced version; I bought it specifically for its more intense, tangy flavor.
