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

The next room.

Back in her room, Lan Yunxi didn't go to sleep. She said that only because she didn't want to disturb Guoguo and the others' time together. She had taken a nap in the morning and was now awake. She was thinking about piecing together her palace.

She took out the materials kit, and each part was individually packaged. She selected a small bag and poured it on the table. Han Yue sat on the floor next to her to help disassemble the parts and read the blueprints.

Han Yue patiently examined the blueprints, his eyes fixed on them as he pondered. He then pinched the back of the little girl's neck beside him and said, "Xiao Xi, start by assembling the bottom pieces and then work your way up little by little."

"Should we do this first? Okay, I'll find out what we need for this area first, and then we'll assemble it according to the blueprints."

Lan Yunxi looked at the materials and arranged them in an orderly manner. Her fair and slender hands were already rummaging through the parts on the table, searching for something.

This was the first time Han Yue had ever done such delicate work since he was born. Only Lan Yunxi could order him around. He never handed in his homework for labor or art classes when he was in school.

He patiently picked up the blueprints and helped Lan Yunxi find the parts one by one, saying, "You are only allowed to assemble it for one hour. When the time is up, you can rest."

Han Yue visually assessed these delicate tasks and realized they were harmful to the eyes and cervical spine, and couldn't be done with the head down for extended periods.

After a while, Lan Yunxi couldn't take it anymore. She had already been helping Guoguo for an hour, and obediently replied, "Okay."

The two cooperated silently, neither of them speaking. Lan Yunxi lowered her head, her eyes fixed on the shard in her hand, afraid of making a mistake, while Han Yue held the shard in his hand and made a handing motion, his eyes fixed on her face.

After finishing one, Lan Yunxi looked up and her eyes met Han Yue's. She wasn't embarrassed and smiled, saying, "Do I look prettier?"

Han Yue didn't look away, staring openly at her, and smiled faintly, "It always has been."

Lan Yunxi smiled genuinely. Her Yue-ge had learned to say sweet nothings! Haha, she changed the subject, "I think Su... brother-in-law treats Guoguo really well, Yue-ge, what do you think?"

Han Yue did not give a definite affirmation, saying, "It's still okay for now."

Lan Yunxi nodded. Goodness isn't something that happens only temporarily. Like a father's love for his mother, or a brother-in-law's love for his sister, true goodness comes from consistent kindness. A short-term relationship can't be used to make a definitive judgment. As it stands, Su Yu is quite good to Guoguo.

Naturally, Lan Yunxi hoped that Su Yu would continue to treat Guoguo this well and that they would continue to be happy together.

"Brother Yue, are you envious of them getting their marriage certificate? If you are, we can get ours here too."

Everyone around Han Yue is already married—Brother-in-law Lu, Brother-in-law Lu, and now Guo Guo is married too. Lan Yunxi feels that their relationship is actually the same as marriage, just a matter of a marriage certificate. If only Han Yue falls behind, he can be replaced.

Han Yue didn't think so. "Don't worry about others. I'm not in a hurry until you graduate."

"Okay." As he spoke, Han Yue affectionately patted Lan Yunxi's head to comfort her and to show that she was really alright.

At worst, we can have another child later, so the little girl will suffer less.

Besides, he's willing to wait and wants to take the girl back to the capital to get their marriage certificate.

That evening, the four of them sat on a ship in country H and enjoyed a seafood feast. Fishermen were fishing for seafood in front of the huge ship.

On the lake, colorful lights alternated frequently, obscuring the original color of the lake and leaving only the colors.

The two men were carefully peeling shellfish, while the woman was enjoying herself. Han Guoguo felt that such a wonderful moment had to be shared. "No, I think we should take a group photo and tell Xiaoxue and the others that we are very happy."

For two people still in their postpartum period, this move was a bit enviable. Han Yue reminded them, "Behave yourself late at night."

"How am I being a bad person? I'm just sharing my joy. Can I share it?" The last question was directed at Su Yu.

"Okay, but I still suggest you post it on your WeChat Moments." Su Xue might send a message to scold you, or call you directly, but posting it on WeChat Moments is standard practice and won't cause too much public outrage.

However, if it's sent privately, it carries an element of showing off, since people with travel restrictions would still feel envious.

Lan Yunxi nodded repeatedly and suggested, "Why don't we keep a low profile and hide our joy?"

Three to one, a complete defeat. "Okay, then I'll just keep quiet and not post it, to avoid them arguing."

Han Yue: Ji Hancheng would never argue with his wife; he would spoil her rotten. But Lu Jinnan and his wife are a different story.

During the meal, after Han Yue had peeled all the shellfish, he leaned back lazily in his chair, glanced at the boundless sea, and asked casually, "Are you planning to move to a different location after we get back?"

Han Guoguo looked completely bewildered, not understanding at all. "Huh... what?"

Lan Yunxi didn't interrupt and ate quietly the whole time. She knew that her Yue-ge was actually reluctant to part with Guoguo.

Su Yu understood Han Yue's words. Smart people understand each other in a second. He spoke before Guo Guo could, "After we return to the capital, I will go to propose marriage. Only after your parents approve will Guo Guo come with me."

With this explanation, Guoguo understood. Her brother was asking her when she was going to move out; he probably didn't want to see her go.

She was secretly delighted, but she was also sensible. Her relationship with her parents used to be bad, but it has only recently improved. To be honest, she was also reluctant to not see Sister Lu or Brother Yu for a week or a month.

Looking up at Han Yue, she arranged, "Don't worry, I know you'll miss me. After I get back to the capital, I'll first take my new husband home to see my parents. We'll stay at the Han family's house for one night, and then we'll go to the Su family's house for another night. Is that fair?"

Han Guoguo continued making arrangements, and Su Yu didn't interfere. She thought it was quite suitable and said that she would make the decisions at home. "From now on, I plan to stay at home on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, and at the Su family home on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays. As for Sundays... I haven't decided on Sundays yet, but the first few days are fair, so this way you can see me three times a week."

Han Yue glanced at his sister with feigned disdain, but in his heart he thought Guo Guo had made a good arrangement. He thought the girl had a conscience. "You're not that important."

Just as Guoguo was about to refute her brother's stubbornness, Su Yu spoke up, "We'll stay on our own on Sundays, and from Monday to Saturday, we'll follow your arrangements."

"Where will we live on our own?" Han Guoguo asked, puzzled, turning to look at Su Yu with a confused expression.

Fearing that Han Yue might misunderstand that he would arrange for Guo Guo to stay at Yixinyuan, Su Yu took the initiative to explain, "I bought another villa next to the Su family villa. It's already renovated. I'll take you to see it when we get back to the capital. We'll stay there on Sundays."

Lan Yunxi: This is too meticulous. It was premeditated and planned long ago.

Indeed, Han Yue's expression softened upon hearing Su Yu's answer, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly. He was quite organized; if that's the case, the villa had already been bought and the renovations were complete, meaning he had long thought that Guo Guo would marry him.

After hearing what Su Yu said, Guo Guo, who was usually very outgoing, blushed—a blush of happiness. She leaned close to Su Yu's ear and whispered in a very feminine voice, "Was this prepared for us?"

Su Yu explained without hesitation, not hiding his little scheme, "Yes, that's right, the wedding room."

Han Guoguo's face turned even redder, while Lan Yunxi smiled, resting her chin on her hands as she watched their happy expression.

The younger sister's appearance was unbearable to look at. Han Yue said, "If you want to laugh, then laugh." A house made this girl happy.

Her family's villa is so big that it can't even accommodate her anymore.

Han Guoguo actually knew that her brother was happy too, but he just didn't say it. She clearly saw her brother smile just now, but he quickly put on this deadpan expression again. "I'm happy. If you prepare a new house for Xixi, Xixi will be happy too, right, Xixi?"

Lan Yunxi rested her chin on her hand and shook her head, "We won't buy a new house. We'll live at the Han family's house from now on."

Guoguo is now married and away from home, and she's away four days a week. If they also buy a house and move out, the house will only be left with the bodyguard, the nanny, Sister Lu, and Brother Yu. It will be very deserted. This big villa shouldn't be deserted.

Lan Yunxi's words even made Su Yu look up at her. Being young doesn't mean being immature. For example, this little girl thinks a lot.

Han Guoguo gave Lan Yunxi a thumbs up, and then said to her brother, "I really don't know what good deeds you did to find such a wonderful girl as your sister-in-law, Xixi."

Lan Yunxi: "Because Yue-ge is also very good."

"Su Yu, how about I call you Brother Yu too...?"

"Cough cough cough, it's nothing, I just choked." Su Yu was drinking a beverage when he was caught off guard by the sudden "Brother Yu" and got goosebumps all over his body. He was completely unprepared.

Han Yue was amused by his sister's antics. He looked at Su Yu with a smile, knowing he was in for a rough time. His sister was always coming up with novel ideas and was much more unconventional than Xiao Xi. Xiao Xi had matured a lot in the past.

Lan Yunxi: Something sounds a bit strange, but they seem to get along really well. One of them is being mischievous while the other is spoiling them.

Han Guoguo: Sigh, she's still so easily teased. Looks like I'll have to train her more in private from now on, otherwise it's not easy to take her out like this.

It was past midnight when we got back to the hotel, and the four of us waved goodbye in the hotel corridor.

"Bye-bye, Yue-ge and I are going back to Lan City tomorrow. We won't disturb your newlywed bliss." Lan Yunxi felt that their presence would be like two very bright third wheels, which wasn't appropriate.

"No, why did you go back? Why don't you stay a few more days?" Han Guoguo completely forgot that Xixi was on a normal holiday.

Han Yue thought his sister had gone mad by getting married. "Xiao Xi is on vacation, not a wedding leave," he said.

"Oh dear, I'm sorry, I forgot. Okay then, bye-bye, we'll come visit you in Blue City next time."

Han Guoguo slapped her forehead.

Lan Yunxi will leave first thing tomorrow morning. She plans to stay at the Lan family manor with Han Yue for a day. She will politely say goodbye to Su Yu, "Goodbye, have a pleasant journey."

Su Yu: "Thank you, bye-bye."

Han Yue wasn't the type to say goodbye so often; he was too tired, so he pushed Lan Yunxi directly into the room.

Han Guoguo was also led into the room by Su Yu, looking regretful. "Oh, what a pity, they're leaving tomorrow. It would be so much better if we could play together. It would be more fun with more people."

Su Yu: "Isn't it lively enough with me around?"

"It's lively, it's different, it's like, how should I put it, it's the kind of fun that can get you hyped up. I'm sure you'll be happy with me, don't overthink it, I definitely can't live without you, you're very important." After saying that, Guoguo patted Su Yu's shoulder to comfort him, afraid that he was overthinking things.

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

For every one sentence he says, Guoguo offers ten explanations to appease him.
