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

Lan Yunxi hadn't come out of the bathroom when there was a knock on the door. Han Yue didn't say anything more and went to open the door.

Lan Yunchen, standing outside the door, handed over a cup of brown sugar water and instructed, "Make sure Xiaoxi drinks it. Don't walk barefoot on the ground. If you have time, look up some information on how to do it."

Han Yue took the warm cup and replied, "Mmm."

Lan Yunchen gracefully withdrew and went to the tea room, where the Lan family couple and the Han family couple were chatting and playing chess.

A moment later, Lan Yunxi came out, her little hands still adjusting her clothes. "I think I just heard my brother's voice."

Han Yue placed the brown sugar water on the bedside table, went to help the little girl, and asked, "Hmm, are you feeling unwell? Drink this cup of brown sugar water first."

Lan Yunxi sat down on the edge of the bed, picked up the brown sugar water and started drinking it, while Han Yue went to the dressing room.

"Brother Yue, what are you looking for?" Lan Yunxi asked, puzzled. She was wearing pajamas, and Han Yue had just finished showering and left. Han Yue's pajamas were still on the bed.

With the heating on in the room, you don't need to wear anything too thick; it's almost like springtime. You could say the whole villa is kept at a springtime temperature.

Just as Lan Yunxi was wondering what was going on, Han Yue handed her a set of pajamas, saying, "Change out of your dress and into this, so you don't catch a cold."

Although he didn't have in-depth knowledge in this area, he knew that it was necessary to keep warm.

"Be good, listen to me, if you catch a cold you can't go anywhere."

"Okay, here's the cup. I'm going to change." Lan Yunxi obediently handed the cup to Han Yue, picked up her pajama pants and put them on. Han Yue left the room. Actually, Lan Yunxi wasn't shy anymore and could change clothes with the lights on.

It's been so long, my skin has already gotten thicker.

Han Yue waited for the girl to come out from outside the door, holding a cup in one hand and leaning against the door. He naturally assumed that she would be shy and dislike it if she turned on the light to change clothes.

The door opened, and Lan Yunxi wanted to say she wasn't shy anymore, but she leaned close to Han Yue's ear and said something else: "You can change it for me next time."

After saying that, she withdrew her toes, grinned, and even gave a playful wink. Han Yue's eyes darkened; he was completely helpless and could only sigh in resignation. He could only take the girl's hand and lead her downstairs. "Let's go, let's go to the tea room."

Having successfully flirted with him, Lan Yunxi's face was full of smugness. "Okay."

The Yan family.

When Yan Na received Lan Yunchen's message, she was already prepared to be interrogated by her mother, and she was currently working overtime on her computer.

The timing of the scene was quite precise. Yan Na had just turned on her computer when her mother knocked on the door. Yan Na said, "Come in."

When Yan's mother came in, Yan Na was still busy typing on the keyboard, looking very focused. She slightly raised her head and asked, "Mom, is something the matter?"

Yan's mother pulled up a small chair and sat down. "Nana, is your foreign friend really not in the capital? I think I saw him today."

Did you see it?

"It can't be that coincidental, can it?" Yan Na told herself to stay calm and not panic.

At the same time, Yan Na also knew that Lan Yunchen's actions in the capital could not be kept secret. The capital was neither big nor small, but some things would happen the more you didn't want them to. So she chose to say something that was half true and half false, "Yes, I'm here. I arrived this afternoon. You told me that I was busy today so I didn't go out."

Then, feigning surprise, she asked, "Mom, where did you see him?"

Yan's mother carefully observed her daughter's eyes, trying to discern the truth from her face. "The supermarket, he's with the Han family boy."

His gaze never left his daughter's face.

Yan Na: ".............." What a coincidence! Oh well, I'll just make it up wherever it leads.

"As for Han Yue, he didn't tell me about this. Mom, you don't need to look at me like that. We're not boyfriend and girlfriend yet. I can't be so impolite as to ask about all of his social interactions."

Fearing her own mother might call Han Yue's mother directly, she gave her a heads-up: "Also, don't call Han Yue or Aunt Han randomly. It's very impolite to ask around like that."

Strict Mother: "Am I that gossipy? It's because you're always hiding things. If you told the truth, would I have to be watching you every day?"

"Mom, I'm being completely open and honest with you now. I've told you everything I can, and I always report truthfully whenever I go out. If you still don't like it, just sit down next to us and be open with us."

The strict mother glared at her daughter, "You never do anything right. Alright, now that you're in the capital, get along well with others and stop spending all your time glued to your computer."

"I know, but it also depends on whether they have the time or not."

Yan's mother remained seated, her bottom firmly in her chair, and asked with concern, "Xiao Na, what does the young man do? He can't be idle. He doesn't necessarily have to be rich, but he must have a proper job. We can't accept someone who's hopeless."

There are too many good-looking people who make a living off their looks these days, some of whom are even morally reprehensible. Yan's mother looks down on these people.

Yan Na put down her computer, ready to face her mother's interrogation with a straight face. "Mom, he's a university professor, he has a proper job." That should be true, he didn't deny it when she asked him on the mountain last time.

Well, even if it's not, it has to be. I can't just pick any profession.

A university professor—he seems quite well-educated. But what business could that profession possibly have with the Han family's son? It can't be his fiancée's university teacher, can it?

This question lingered in the mother's mind, but the shrewd woman didn't voice it. "Get some rest. You're letting Xiaozhun learn about the company's business?"

"Well, you've been urging me to date, haven't you? I need to find someone to replace Dad. Who else can we rely on besides Xiao Zhun?" Besides, it's this brat's responsibility to bear it.

The strict mother nodded in agreement. As for Feifei, she didn't have high hopes for her; she just wanted her to have a regular job.

After the conversation ended, it was time for Yan's mother to resolve her doubts. She left her daughter's room and returned to her own master bedroom.

She took out her phone and called Han's mother. The call wasn't answered immediately; it rang for a long time before being picked up. "What are you busy with, Han Lu?"

Han's mother answered the phone: "What brings you to call me today?"

Mother Yan chuckled, "I was just worried you'd be too busy. Your husband, Mr. Han, called my husband, Mr. Yan, to brag about how your future daughter-in-law is in the capital. He was so smug. I was just afraid of bothering you."

Han's mother shook her head helplessly, "That's just how he is. He can't live without showing off to your husband, Lao Yan."

Getting back to the point, Yan's mother steered the conversation to the main topic, "By the way, Han Lu, I saw Xiao Yue with a university professor. Is he a guest of your family? This child is very sensible. He seems aloof, but he's very warm. He insisted on carrying my things to the parking lot."

The words "university professor" and "guest" made Han's mother frown and think quickly. If there were guests, it would only be the Lan family. The only ones who went out at night were Yunchen and Xiaoyue. How did a university professor end up with Yunchen?

Is this Yunchen's side job?

Han's mother: "Did you see Xiaoyue at the supermarket last night?"

"Oh, right, your Xiaoyue really loves his fiancée, going out to buy sanitary napkins so late at night." Mother Yan praised Han Yue again.

There was no doubt that the university professor was Lan Yunchen. Guessing what Yan's mother wanted to ask, Han's mother smiled and said, "He went out with his brother-in-law last night."

Han's mother was incredibly clever. Although Yan's mother didn't explicitly say the word "inquire," she was subtly inquiring about everything, probably about Yan Na and Lan Yunchen.

"Xiao Yue's brother-in-law?"

A surprised voice came from the phone's receiver. Han's mother subconsciously moved the phone a few centimeters away. After Yan's mother calmed down, she put the phone back to her ear. "Yes, it's my daughter-in-law's brother."

It would have been better if she hadn't asked, because once she did, the truth came out. Xiao Na was indeed hiding something from her. Yan's mother continued to probe, "Yesterday Xiao Na said that you all invited her to dinner together."

Following up on the topic, Han's mother said, "Yes, she won a game against us, so we had a meal together."

Before Yan's mother could speak, Han's mother accepted the invitation, "Come over and play if you have nothing to do during the first month of the lunar year."

"Okay, okay, I'll hang up now." Knowing the situation, Yan's mother hurriedly hung up the phone. Yesterday, her daughter clearly didn't mention her brother, but she kept this person, who was the most important person, a secret from her.

Han's mother responded calmly, "Okay."

Shen Muyun, who had been sitting beside her, naturally heard everything and guessed the gist of it. She said softly, "Are you inquiring about Yunchen?"

Han's mother guessed, "He probably didn't know Yunchen was from our family. I guess Xiaona didn't tell him when she got home."

Shen Muyun nodded. She could understand, otherwise she wouldn't have been surprised that she could hear the sound even sitting next to her, which was enough to show that she didn't know at all.

The next morning, a black sedan was parked in front of the Han family villa.

A couple got out of the car, carrying large and small bags. The man was wearing a navy blue wool coat, and the woman was wearing a brown wool coat. The two walked hand in hand into the villa.

The Han couple and the Lan couple were already seated in the living room. Some were reading newspapers, some were reading books, and some were looking at documents. Everyone was doing their own thing, without disturbing each other, creating a harmonious atmosphere.

They have an incredible understanding.

The sound at the door made all four people on the sofa turn their heads and look at the two people who came in. When Han's father saw the people who came in, he hurriedly stood up to greet them. "Old Yan, did you come in as a surprise? Why didn't you say anything before you came? It's a good thing we didn't go out. You didn't install a surveillance camera in my house, did you?"

Strict father: Isn't this just accompanying my wife to carry out a surprise attack?

Upon seeing two unfamiliar faces in the living room, the stern father nodded and exchanged pleasantries.

As soon as I woke up in the morning, my wife hurriedly dragged me to the Han family home. I wasn't prepared at all, and she wouldn't let me call Old Han.

Like a commando, the stern father put the gifts on the ground and said, "I've finished paying my New Year's respects and come to see you." He mainly came to see your in-laws.

Han's mother didn't expect that Yan's mother would come to the door so quietly. This speed is really Yan's mother in her true colors.

Just as Mr. Han was about to say something, he was stopped by Mrs. Han's gaze. Mr. Han swallowed back what he wanted to say about Yunchen and began to entertain them, teasing them, "Don't stand there, no need to be so polite, sit down. It's really not my habit for you to come to my door with things."

Strict father: "If I don't give you something during the New Year, I'm afraid you'll remember it for the rest of your life."

"Hahaha, am I that kind of person?" Han's father laughed heartily.

Strict father: Of course it is! He'll probably nag me every time he sees me.

Han's mother introduced them: "These are my daughter-in-law's father and mother, and these are Yan Na's father and mother."
