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

After finishing his round, Mr. Han happily stepped back, resting one hand on the club with a broad smile on his face.

Yan Na nodded politely, picked up the pole on one side, touched it, then stood in front of it, squinted her beautiful eyes, aimed at the target, and looked very serious. Yan Na's movements were very standard and impeccable.

The movements were coordinated and perfectly executed; they were clearly those of a professional.

The moment she swung the club, her supple waist was on full display. Lan Yunchen glanced at her movements and noticed that she had subtly reduced her strength. As expected, the ball didn't go into the hole, missing by only a few millimeters.

Lan Yunchen smiled and looked at the woman again with a special gaze. She had let him off the hook very quietly, showing that she had mastered the art of negotiation.

Lan Yunchen could already picture the usual patterns and scenarios of Yan Na's discussions with clients.

Mr. Han laughed heartily, and Yan Na retracted her pole, indicating that she was no match for him, "Uncle Han, you're still the better one."

"I know you haven't given it your all, keep going."

Han's mother noticed Lan Yunchen's subtle movements twice. "That's enough for you. Let the young people have a match. Xiao Na, Yunchen plays golf quite well too. You two can have a friendly competition. Your uncle's old arms and legs aren't strong enough to compete."

Fearing that Yan Na would feel embarrassed, Han Yue, unusually, stirred things up, "Tomboy, how about we have a match? I can be the host."

Yan Na felt like she had been set up on a blind date. It seemed that without her realizing it, everyone had paired her up with Lan Yunchen, and they were just short of openly saying, "Give it a try!"

She escaped her family's pressure to get married, but even in a different place, she was still indirectly pressured to marry. Yan Na smiled to herself. It's true what they say, you can't escape something you can't hide from forever. No wonder Lan Yunchen said it was indirect; it really was indirect.

You're being subtly pressured to get married by a group of elders, and you have no evidence whatsoever; you can only appreciate their good intentions.

Han Yue was also involved, acting as a gossip engine, stirring things up quite a bit. I hadn't realized before that this guy was so enthusiastic about gossip and pimping. Did he change his ways after getting engaged?

However, Yan Na was not a spoilsport and remained poised and generous, smiling as she said, "Alright, let's see how big Mr. Han's bet is so I can see how I play. Lan Yunchen, how about we cooperate again and see how the stakes play out?"

Lan Yunchen scoffed. "Not bad. If one side bets too much and wins, the bookmaker will lose everything. Yan Na is planning to cheat openly, and she even said it out loud."

Everyone laughed at these words, especially Han's father, who praised, "Old Yan is so lucky! Xiao Na, Uncle Han is voting for you, Yun Chen, you don't have any objections, do you?"

Lan Yunchen smiled, rolled up the sleeves of his hoodie, revealing his tanned arms in the air, "Uncle, do as you please, as long as everyone is happy."

Yan Na glanced at Lan Yunchen out of the corner of her eye and affirmed his good looks once again. He was indeed handsome, and it was worth the courage she had taken to choose him as a model. It was just a bit pricey, but you get what you pay for. If he were extremely ugly, her mother wouldn't have believed it.

Lan Yunxi is torn about who to bet on. If she bets on the pretty older sister, will she gain some favor? Her brother probably won't mind, right?

Han Yue: "A little gambling is fun, but excessive gambling is harmful. My family never gambles. You're quite the tough girl. The first time I was the bookmaker, I set up the casino for you."

Yan Na smiled charmingly, showing no sign of being moved. It wasn't that she couldn't understand the meaning behind Han Yue's words, but rather, "Then I am honored."

Lan Yunxi was afraid that Yan Na would be offended, so she didn't touch her. She just stood next to Han Yue and asked, "Brother Yue, how much is the starting price?"

"Starting price 1000, maximum 5000, no more."

Han Yue set the price.

"Then I'll bet on the pretty lady, hmm, 5000. I'm going to abandon you a little bit, okay?"

This girl has a playful and cute personality. It was unexpected for Yan Na that Han Yue liked this kind of cute girl, but Han Yue has good taste.

Yan Na also likes this type. She looks comfortable and youthful, with clear, bright eyes. She's easy to get along with, unlike the girls in Tiss, whose eyes are full of scheming. You have to consider their intentions before you can get along with them.

In the end, Shen Muyun, Lan Chumu, and Han's mother bet on Lan Yunchen, each betting 5000, while Lan Yunxi and Han's father bet on Yan Na, 5000,5000 each.

The competition began, and both sides agreed on the rules: ladies first. Lan Yunchen gentlemanly extended his hand to let Yan Na go first, and Yan Na did not refuse. It didn't matter who went first; each person got one turn.

Meeting Lan Yunxi's expectant and encouraging gaze, Yan Na wanted to laugh, feeling that her older brother had been abandoned. She smiled helplessly, then picked up the pole and began to get serious, not wanting to disappoint the young girl.

If you've done your best in everything, and even if you lose, you've done right by others and by yourself, and you have a clear conscience.

Yan Na made a perfect shot into the hole on her first attempt, while Lan Yunchen's ball hovered at the edge of the hole, unable to go in no matter what he tried, and finally remained there.

Yan Na won, and the game continued. She set her own rules: best two out of three games would be considered a win. Yan Na lost the second shot because she used too much force, and the ball was a few centimeters away from the hole, perfectly missing the opportunity to go in.

With a stylish swing, Lan Yunchen effortlessly slotted the ball into the hole, then smiled politely and said, "Thank you for the favor."

Yan Na: What about sword fighting in ancient times?

"It's normal for a competition to have both wins and losses. If I keep winning, people might question the authenticity of the competition."

Lan Yunchen: "A very insightful observation. As expected of President Yan, you see things very clearly."

At that moment, the way the man in front of her spoke made Yan Na narrow her eyes. He didn't seem like a teacher, but more like a CEO, like... like that guy Ji Hancheng.

Yan Na's direct scrutiny was noticed by Lan Yunchen, whose straight back instantly relaxed. He lied and explained, "I used to work part-time at a golf course."

Lan Yunxi: What did she hear? My brother did part-time work, at a golf course.

Shen Muyun lowered her head, naturally picked up the soda water, opened the cap, and took a sip without making a sound. This child hadn't told anyone his true identity at all; she wondered what he was keeping to himself.

Lan Chumu subconsciously shook his head, while Han's father smiled and turned his gaze to the two people playing ball. He was about to speak when Han's mother stopped him with a look.

Han's mother was afraid that Han's father would get excited and reveal Lan Yunchen's affair. Lan Yunchen hadn't revealed his identity, and since not many people in the capital knew that Xiao Yue was engaged, and the Han family had never publicized anything, it was normal that Yan Na didn't know.

Furthermore, Yan Na has a bottom line: she doesn't inquire or investigate matters that aren't her collaborators' business. This is a matter of courtesy. However, it would be difficult for Yan Na to investigate Lan Yunchen. Unless Lan Yunchen specifically asks you to investigate something, you can only get a superficial understanding.

When Han Yue helped Ji Hancheng investigate, he went to great lengths to find out even a little bit of information. In desperation, Ji Hancheng injured the Lan family's bodyguard in an attempt to lure them out so he could investigate further. Otherwise, Ji Hancheng wouldn't have climbed the wall so many times, which shows that the Lan family has a wide sphere of influence in Lan City, and it's the kind that operates covertly.

Han Yue urged, "Hurry up, there's one more game, let's eat after that." His little girl had only eaten a little breakfast that morning, she should be hungry by now.

The score was now tied at 1-1, and the final point would decide the winner. Ladies first, Yan Na served. She gripped the cue stick, looking serious, her eyes focused on the hole in the distance, her eyes narrowed into slits as she took a shot.

The next second, with a perfect pose, the ball flew into the air and rolled precisely into the hole. Overwhelmed with emotion, Yan Na was as happy as a child, clenching her fist with one hand and muttering, "Yay!"

Han's father praised, "Xiao Na, that was a beautiful shot! No wonder Lao Yan always praises your skills."

Perhaps because her opponent today wasn't a company client, Yan Na relaxed her guard and acted naturally during the Lunar New Year holiday. Realizing her childish behavior, she said somewhat awkwardly, "Uncle Han, you flatter me."

Lan Yunchen glanced at the spot slightly off the edge of the hole, then swung cleanly. The ball missed the hole perfectly, landing on the edge and circling around, unable to go in. It looked like a real pity, and Lan Yunchen himself looked just as disappointed. "So close."

His actions, his attitude, his posture showed no signs of cheating or letting him win; instead, he seemed to be giving it his all. Therefore, Yan Na couldn't see any evidence of him cheating. Even she, a relatively professional person, couldn't tell. So Lan Yunchen probably didn't cheat. She comforted him, "Maybe I was just a little lucky."

Lan Yunchen: You're quite good at talking now, you didn't kill the conversation.

"I'll ask Mr. Yan for advice next time. Part-timers can never compare to professionals; I still need to practice."

Yan Na couldn't refuse a face-to-face invitation; she was a straightforward and unpretentious person. "Sure, we can play again sometime, Uncle..."

Lan Yunxi hurriedly went to the table to count the playing cards, interrupting Yan Na. There was only one deck of cards on the table. Han Yue used the cards to mark the cards. "Brother Yue, did I win? How much can I get?"

The little girl was overjoyed. Han Yue knew she didn't understand gambling or the intricacies of it, let alone how many times the stakes would be multiplied. So he simply gave her all his bets, added a little more for himself to round it up, smiled faintly, and smoothly played with the cards, "50000."

Lan Yunxi stood there blankly, activating the arithmetic function of her brain cells, stretched out her hands, and said in surprise, "10 times! No wonder so many people like gambling. Isn't this like gambling to win big? The temptation is indeed great."

Then Lan Yunxi happily hugged Yan Na, "Sister, you're amazing! Your playing style is so cool!"

Not only is the older sister beautiful, but she's also very polite and can play ball. I wonder if she has many other skills like her.

This was the second girl besides Yan Feifei to come up and hug her directly. Yan Na didn't refuse, and didn't seem to mind. She patted Lan Yunxi's back and replied with a smile, "You're a little luckier than your brother."

Today, Yan Na's speech was not as direct, nor did she kill the conversation with every sentence; she was very tactful.

Han Yue had already heard what Yan Na said earlier, which meant she wanted to leave, and teased, "Tomboy, you won the game, aren't you going to celebrate?"

Yan Na: Isn't your fiancée the biggest winner?

Han Yue mainly realized that the girl really liked this tomboy. His girl liked cool and edgy styles, so since she liked him, he decided to help her keep him around.

The usually generous and poised Lan Yunchen surprisingly did not object, but simply smiled faintly without speaking, as if it were an implicit agreement.
