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

11pm.

A girl pushing a suitcase stood outside the Han family villa, followed by a bodyguard in a black uniform.

After the bodyguards at the door recognized the person's face, they were about to shout, but were stopped. "Shh, don't talk. I have a surprise for you."

The bodyguard opened his mouth wide and then closed it again, swallowing back the words he was about to say.

A moment later, the villa's gate opened, and Han's mother, dressed in her pajamas, opened the door. Three hours earlier, Lan Yunxi had sent Han's mother a short message: "Sister Lu, I've come to the capital. Don't tell Brother Yue, okay? I want to give her a surprise."

Han's mother replied: Okay, what time will you arrive?

Lan Yunxi: It's around 11 o'clock, which is quite late. I need to stay at my sister's place for a while before coming over. Sister Lu, please leave the door open for me, I'll come in by myself.

Han's mother: I stayed up late waiting for you.

Lan Yunxi was overjoyed to see Han's mother, whom she hadn't seen in a long time. She went over and hugged her for a while before letting go. She then affectionately took Han's mother's arm. Han's mother reached for her suitcase and said, "Xiaoyue should be asleep. Go take a shower in Guoguo's room."

"Is Guoguo asleep?"

Han's mother: "They might be watching a TV series. Let's go."

Lan Yunxi took Han's mother's hand and went upstairs. Han's mother was carrying a suitcase, making sure it didn't hit the steps so as not to make any noise and disrupt her future daughter-in-law's plans.

Arriving at the door of Han Guoguo's room, Lan Yunxi pushed the door open and went in very quietly. Just as Han's mother had expected, Han Guoguo was watching a drama.

Seeing the two people enter through the door, Han Guoguo excitedly tried to jump off the bed, but Lan Yunxi rushed over and covered Guoguo's mouth to prevent her from making a sound. "Don't shout, Brother Yue doesn't know I'm here. Don't shout, please don't shout."

Lan Yunxi reminded her repeatedly, afraid that Han Guoguo would forget again and ruin her plan. That's why she chose to tell Han's mother instead of Han Guoguo.

Han Guoguo was unable to speak with her mouth covered, but kept nodding to indicate that she understood.

Han's mother brought the suitcase into the room and smiled as she looked at the two people on the bed. Han Guoguo was kneeling on the bed with one leg hanging off the edge, looking like she was about to get off. Lan Yunxi was standing on the edge of the bed with both legs, covering Han Guoguo's mouth with one hand and holding Guoguo's head in place with the other.

The scene was so cute that I couldn't help but remind her, "Get some rest. Xixi is taking a bath in your room, so keep your voice down."

Han Guoguo didn't dare to speak anymore. She nodded, and Lan Yunxi's hand was still on hers. She said to Han's mother, who was about to step away, "Good night, Sister Lu."

Han's mother said calmly, "Good night, get some rest."

The door closed gently. Han Guoguo whimpered, pried open Lan Yunxi's pale hand, and whispered, "When did you get here? Why didn't you tell me? Were you doing this to check if my brother was seeing someone else?"

Lan Yunxi was amused. Her Yue-ge didn't need to be investigated, how could he possibly be having an affair? "What kind of thinking is that? You have a huge misunderstanding about Yue-ge."

The two spoke in hushed tones, each one lower than the other, as if the walls were not soundproof at all. It was like two children plotting something naughty, whispering cautiously to each other.

Han Guoguo pointed to the phone that was thrown on the bed. The screen was still frozen on the scene of the main wife grabbing the third head of hair. "Look, isn't that how TV dramas are portrayed? The male and female leads in this drama also had a long-distance relationship. After a while, the man found a mistress. He was caught red-handed by his girlfriend. But Xixi, my brother is not that kind of person."

"After you went back to Blue City, my brother has been very well-behaved. He goes to get off work and comes home on time every day. He's a complete homebody. I guarantee he hasn't even gone to Tiss."

Having just watched the TV series, Han Guoguo was still shaken and felt a strong sense of empathy. She was afraid that her future sister-in-law would misunderstand, which would put her brother in danger. So she did her best to prove her brother's innocence and even acted as a witness.

To gain Lan Yunxi's trust, Han Guoguo even raised her hand and swore an oath after speaking, all in a very serious manner.

Lan Yunxi took her hand away as she made her vow. "You're overthinking it. I'm not here to ambush Yue-ge. I trust him. I'm here to surprise him. Life can't be so mundane. We need a little surprise now and then to spice up our love."

"Holy crap, did my brother save the entire galaxy in his past life? How did he find such a treasure like you?"

It's her fault for overthinking.

Han Guoguo shook her head with a click of her tongue, repeatedly praising Xixi's goodness.

"Can I use your bathroom for a bit? I'm going to take a shower, and we can watch TV together afterward." Lan Yunxi opened her suitcase and took out her pajamas.

Han Guoguo sat back on the bed with her legs crossed, picked up her phone, and prepared to watch a drama. "Aren't you going to find my brother? Do you want to sleep with me?"

That's not appropriate. If her brother finds out tomorrow that she stole the little princess, he'll beat her up.

"No, I plan to wait until Yue-ge is more sound asleep. I'm afraid he might not be asleep or not sound asleep if I go now."

Lan Yunxi had already entered the bathroom while they were talking.

Han Guoguo, left in a daze, pondered on the bed, her thoughts in disarray. Was Xixi preparing to do something big that night?

That's so exciting!

It's not suitable for children. How could she know this without paying for VIP? Actually, it's not bad to know the follow-up information for free.

A dozen minutes later, Lan Yunxi came out of the bathroom, wearing a spaghetti strap nightgown. She took off her shoes and climbed into Han Guoguo's bed. "Are you going to sleep?"

Han Guoguo: My future sister-in-law is definitely going to do something big; she's dressed so sexily.

Han Guoguo's direct gaze was too blatant, making Lan Yunxi feel uneasy and weak. She covered her chest with one hand, saying, "Hey, don't look." Her face turned slightly red.

Han Guoguo smiled and looked away, glancing at the time on her phone screen: 12:08. Not bad. "I'll stay with you for another half hour. I have to go to work tomorrow. Su Yu arrived early, and I can't keep him waiting outside. I need to bring him breakfast."

"Can't we invite them in to eat? Haven't Sister Lu and Brother Yu already met them?" Lan Yunxi asked curiously, "Don't Sister Lu and the others agree?"

"No, they've only met once before, and it would be too much for our young master Su to come in and eat."

Lan Yunxi: Then wouldn't it be about the same if you took your breakfast out every day?

Han Guoguo: "Have you been to the Ji residence?"

"We've gone. Mom and Dad live over there." Lan Yunxi sat upright with her legs crossed, just like Han Guoguo.

The two sat side by side and chatted for more than half an hour. During this time, Han Guoguo asked Lan Yunxi what gifts she had given to the two little ones. Lan Yunxi said she had given them pink crystals, and Han Guoguo praised them again.

Because Han Yue gave a pink diamond, the two of them acted in perfect unison without prior consultation.

I wonder if she and Su Yu will have this tacit understanding in the future.

It wasn't until Han Guoguo started yawning that Lan Yunxi, now fully awake, tiptoed out of Han Guoguo's room and headed towards Han Yue's room, the door slowly opening.

The person on the bed didn't wake up. Lan Yunxi held her breath, not daring to breathe too loudly, for fear that the person on the bed would wake up. She wondered if it was because he lived in the Han family's house, but Han Yue was sleeping very soundly, or perhaps he was really tired.

Lan Yunxi took off her shoes and slowly walked to the bedside, taking small steps. She gently pinched a corner of the blanket with her index finger and thumb and quickly slipped inside.

The next second, alert Han Yue grabbed her wrist with one hand, preparing to turn on the light, when a soft, sweet voice rang out, "Brother Yue."

Upon hearing this, Han Yue was taken aback. He thought it was Han Guoguo causing trouble again, trying to find a way to mess with him. After all, no one else could enter the Han family, and only Han Guoguo in the whole family could do such a thing. But he never expected it to be his little girl.

As she spoke, Lan Yunxi hugged Han Yue's waist tightly under the covers, rubbing her face against his chest, "Brother Yue, did you miss me? Don't turn on the light."

Han Yue withdrew his hand from the light switch, put it back under the covers, and put his arm around the girl's shoulder. He noticed her shoulder was smooth and, suppressing a certain emotion, asked, "When did you get here?"

Lan Yunxi didn't answer this question, skipping over it entirely. Too many people had asked her that today, "Surprised?"

How could you not be overjoyed to wake up in the middle of the night and find the person you've been longing for sleeping next to you?

Han Yue hugged her tightly and kissed her forehead, as if he wanted to embed Lan Yunxi deep into his body. "I'm so surprised."

For a moment, no one spoke. In the darkness, two pairs of eyes, shining like stars, stared at each other, as if they knew what was about to happen.

I do know that.

Han Yue lowered his head slightly, and Lan Yunxi tilted her head back to cooperate. Her small hands slowly moved from her waist to her neck and hugged her. The temperature in the room continued to rise, and her emotions were gradually getting out of control. Han Yue rolled over and placed his hands on either side of her.

The lingering kiss continued, but Han Yue was no longer captivated by the beauty of their lips. Her fragrant shoulders became a new option, and little by little, he moved towards where he wanted to be.

Creating a painting requires a lot of effort in the early stages, and Han Yue is currently working hard to prepare for the pre-painting process.

People who are serious about their work have exceptionally sensitive and keen senses of touch and hearing. In the yard, the larks and parrots that Han's father had collected were constantly singing.

There's a sense of a hundred birds singing in unison. The trees outside the window rustle, and in the quiet night, a gentle breeze tugs at the branches, causing the leaves to sway and fall, colliding and chatting as if in a unique exchange.

The moonlight slumbered, a faint, cold light covering the courtyard, gilding it with silver, making it feel a few degrees colder than the temperature inside the room.

An hour and a half later, Lan Yunxi was more awake. Han Yue lay beside her and said, "I'll carry you to take a shower. Are you tired?"

"Okay, sure." I'm tired, but also clear-headed. I just don't want to move. I've gone too far.

The bathtub was filled with warm water. Han Yue tested the temperature with his hand; it was just right. He then placed the little girl inside. Instantly, warmth spread through every cell of her body, even her toes felt comfortable. She warmly invited him to move into the bathtub. The bathtub was large enough for two people to lie down. "Brother Yue, let's go together."

Afraid of losing control, Han Yue coughed lightly, "I'll go take a shower, and I'll come and hug you after you're done."

Lan Yunxi pouted and looked at Han Yue. After a few seconds of eye contact, Han Yue finally gave in, "Just soak for a while, it's late."

Lan Yunxi: Then why did you take so long?
