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

Pushing open the villa's door, Han Guoguo saw the Su couple still sitting on the sofa. She glanced at her watch; it was almost one o'clock.

Seeing the two elders get up to greet them, Guoguo apologized slightly, "Dad, Mom, why aren't you asleep yet?" Were they waiting for them?

If so, I'm really sorry. I told them I'd be back late before I went to the Han family's house, and that they should go to sleep first.

Mother Su wiped her hands on her waist and handed over the red envelope with a smile, saying, "I haven't given you red envelopes yet, so take them quickly for good luck."

Father Su: "Take it. It's not much, it's just a lucky number. The New Year is all about good fortune."

"Thank you, Dad. Thank you, Mom."

Su Yu: "You guys go to sleep, it's quite late."

Just as she was about to step up the stairs, Su's mother pulled her foot back, almost forgetting that Guoguo was pregnant. "Guoguo, are you hungry? If you are, Mom will cook you some late-night snacks."

Han Guoguo waved her hand, her throat tightening with emotion. "Mom, no need, I've already eaten. You and Dad go to sleep. I'll tell Su Yu if I get hungry, right?"

"Yes, I'll take good care of her." Meeting his mother's worried gaze, Su Yu said again, "Go to sleep, we need to sleep too."

The Su couple were in front, followed by Han Guoguo and Su Yu.

Back in her room, Han Guoguo felt a little guilty. That's how kind girls are; if they cause even the slightest trouble for someone, they'll look for the cause within themselves and wish they could turn back time. "I should have come back earlier. I made Mom and Dad wait in the living room for so long."

He sighed, filled with guilt.

Su Xue and Lu Jinnan probably left so late because their parents were lonely.

Su Yu patiently comforted her, speaking softly, "Guoguo, don't think like that. Your parents are already very happy that you can spend the New Year here. Actually, you can spend the New Year at the Han family's house; your parents won't have any objections."

Han Guoguo touched the soft hair of Su Yu, who was squatting in front of her. She dug one hand into the hair and pulled it out, then dug it into the hair again, very restless. "That won't do. If I spend the New Year at the Han family's house and Su Xue spends the New Year at the Su family's house, how lonely will Mom and Dad be? It's like their son is marrying into the family, but it's like he's marrying into the family."

"Thank you. Let me get your clothes for you. You can go take a shower first, and I'll adjust the room temperature."

"All right."

Early the next morning.

At the capital airport, a plane swooped down from the clouds, taxied for a distance, and came to a stop. The deafening roar gradually faded away.

A group of people disembarked from the plane. Leading them was a man dressed in a black double-faced cashmere coat over a gray high-waisted jacket. His long legs were encased in dark jeans, and the warm winter sun shone on him, making him look both noble and handsome. He strode forward carrying a suitcase, followed by two bodyguards carrying four suitcases each.

Then a woman wearing a light blue long down jacket came down, her curly hair casually draped over her shoulders. Beside her was a man wearing a black down jacket, who was holding the woman's waist as they walked down.

He urged, "Xixi, come down quickly."

A sweet, clear voice came from inside the cabin, "Coming, coming right away."

Immediately afterwards, Lan Yunxi walked down slowly, wearing a long yellow down jacket over a long white sweater, leggings, and casual sneakers, looking relaxed and youthful.

Lan Yunchen, who was waiting beside her, asked his sister, "Are you really not planning to let Han Yue pick you up?"

Lan Yunxi, with her bag slung over her shoulder and her arm linked with her brother's, said, "Let's not notify them. We'll go ourselves. It's too much trouble to keep having them pick us up. Besides, we can find our way, right? By the way, brother, are you staying at the Han family's place tonight?"

Lan Yunchen: "Yes, let's not leave the organization. Let's go see Yao Yao first."

"Okay, I miss my two little nieces too. Brother, let me tell you, my sister's two little babies are absolutely adorable. Maybe if you see them, you'll change your mind about not wanting to get married."

Lan Yunxi tempted her, because she genuinely loved children; they were so cute and could melt away any bad mood she had in the day.

The weather is nice today, the sun is shining brightly, and it makes me feel relaxed and happy.

Lan Yunchen smiled, not giving his sister a definite answer, but simply said, "It's all up to fate. You should worry about yourself. How much have you saved?"

Lan Yunchen knew that his younger sister had been saving money and also had her own small website. Lan Yunxi did not hide it from her brother and even asked him for advice.

"This is my secret stash of money, but I can't tell you yet. If you get married, I'll give it all to you."

This girl kept trying to entice him to get married, but Shen Muyun and Lan Chumu, who were following behind, just smiled and didn't say anything. They didn't interfere with their child's marriage. As long as the child was happy, that was fine. As long as the person was of good character, they would accept it.

Whether it's good or bad, only the child knows. How many parents can go against their child's wishes? If they do, the relationship is damaged, and regrets arise, the kind that can't be erased.

Ji Residence.

Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year.

According to the old man, the new year should have a good start. Today, you can't swear, you can't scold the children, you can't do anything wrong, you have to be happy, you have to endure any dissatisfaction, you can't quarrel or argue.

To give the new year a good start, the whole family is sitting in the living room chatting happily. Little Yuzu is playing with her two younger sisters. She takes the toys in her hand into the cradle, then gently pries open her sister's hand and puts it in, then gently presses her sister's hand back in so that she can hold on tightly.

A burst of laughter at the door interrupted the cheerful conversation inside. "Happy New Year, Grandpa!"

These words were spoken by Lan Chumu, who was the first to enter.

These words were spoken.

Everyone in the living room turned their attention to the doorway, where the Lan family stood with their suitcases, smiling.

Everyone instinctively stood up to greet them, while Ji Hancheng went to pick up his suitcase. "Uncle, Aunt, why didn't you let me go pick you up?"

Shen Muyun stood upright, maintaining her dignified elegance, speaking softly and considerately, "On the first day of the Lunar New Year, who would ask you to pick them up and drop them off? We can find the Ji family's road with our eyes closed."

Supported by Butler Ji, the old man walked over with a cane, saying, "Oh dear, you people." Why don't you ever know how to trouble others?

Lan Yunchen and Lan Yunxi greeted everyone politely, including Yuan Shu, Ji Hang, and Aunt Zhang.

Tang Junyan was flustered, having never met anyone from the Lan family before and not knowing their names. Tang Junyao released her aunt's wrist, returned to the sofa, and patted Tang Junyan's shoulder, "Uncle, Aunt, Big Brother, this is Tang Junyan."

Once the name was mentioned, the Lan family understood immediately. However, out of politeness, they nodded in greeting. For the Lan family, it was already quite kind of them not to hold a grudge. After all, Chen Lan had caused the death of the sister the Lan family had been searching for. If it weren't for Chen Lan, the Lan family would have had a chance of finding their sister.

The Lan family disliked Chen Lan and Tang Xin, but they wouldn't involve a child in the matter; they could only offer a polite, faint smile.

Tang Junyao gently helped Tang Junyan sit down on the sofa, pressing his shoulder. She didn't ask him to greet them, but simply said softly, "These are my mother's family members. Don't feel guilty; they have nothing to do with you, understand?"

"Sis, I understand. I'll go upstairs to get my things."

Tang Junyan walked upstairs alone. Everyone felt heartbroken watching the child's back. Shen Muyun and Lan Chumu sighed.

Lan Chumu also took the old man's hand and sat down on the sofa. Lan Yunchen and Lan Yunxi each held a cradle and looked at it, letting the two little princesses hold their hands.

Lan Yunxi patted Xiaoyouzi's head, "Lele, did you forget to call me?" Now that she has a little sister, she has forgotten to call her aunt.

"Uncle, Auntie," Little Yuzi called out with a grin, her face full of flattery.

Lan Yunchen pinched his little nephew's cheek, picked him up, and asked, "Do you like your little sisters?"

Little Yuzu replied, "I like it."

Looking at the little princesses in the cradle, striking poses and stretching, they were indeed extremely cute and could melt anyone's heart. Lan Yunchen smiled along with them.

Lan Yunxi noticed this and said, "Isn't she cute? Doesn't she look like a little angel? Brother, why don't you find a sister-in-law?"

Lan Yunxi was lightly flicked on the forehead by Lan Yunchen, but she wasn't angry. She pouted and smiled mischievously, determined to change her brother's mind about not getting married.

Tang Junyao and Shen Muyun also stood by the cradle. "Auntie, I want to take care of Xiaoyan in the future and lend a hand wherever I can."

Shen Muyun recalled Tang Junyan's lonely figure from earlier and couldn't bear it. She didn't project her dissatisfaction with his parents onto him. She could understand Yao Yao's kindness; after all, this child was a member of the Tang family. "Auntie understands. Whatever you do, Auntie will support you. Go and let this child down. Tell him not to overthink things. We don't have any other feelings for him; we're just not familiar with him."

"Thank you, Auntie."

Shen Muyun said with a smile, "Go ahead, you should be happy on the first day of the Lunar New Year."

The fact that Yao Yao and Ji Hancheng were able to bring this child to the Ji residence for the New Year shows that the child is a good person.

Tang Junyao knocked on Tang Junyan's door, and a nasal voice came from inside, "Sister." The door was opened immediately.

Tang Junyao smiled as she patted Tang Junyan's head, wondering how the child had managed on his own. "Why are you crying? How old are you? Stop crying. If Lele sees you like this, it'll be a black mark on your life."

As she spoke, she walked into the room, patted her younger brother on the back of the head, and said, "Xiaoyan, I've told you many times, your mother's affairs have nothing to do with you. Your aunt told me to take you downstairs. She doesn't have any other thoughts about you, she's just not familiar with you. She wants you not to overthink things. They are all kind, just like you."

Tang Junyan lowered her head and nodded, "I understand, sister."

Every time she readily and obediently agrees, she never changes. "Is this another empty promise to your sister? Don't do this again next time. New year, new beginnings, you're another year older."

"Come on, let's go downstairs and play. You can call her Aunt, Uncle, Big Brother, and Big Sister just like your sister does."

"it is good."

Upon arriving downstairs, Tang Junyan followed his sister's instructions and politely greeted everyone in the Lan family. The Lan family members responded in unison, creating a harmonious atmosphere.

The laughter continued. Lan Yunxi was a cheerful person by nature. After the little princesses fell asleep, the nanny and Ji Hancheng took the children upstairs.

Lan Yunxi sat down next to Tang Junyan and started chatting, which obviously eased the boy's awkwardness. They also talked enthusiastically about school, with Lan Yunxi telling him about interesting things that happened in college, which made Tang Junyan look forward to college campus life.

The whole family encouraged Tang Junyan, saying that with his grades, he could get into a good university.

Before leaving, Lan Yunchen gave Tang Junyao a belated gift: two gold anklets, symbolizing peace and health.
