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

Time flies by, and New Year's Day is here in the blink of an eye.

Since sharing a bed with Ji Hancheng at the Ji residence, they haven't had much contact, as if nothing had ever happened.

He seems to be quite busy lately. I haven't seen him in the mornings, and he comes home very late at night. By the time he gets home, I've already closed the door and gone to sleep.

Just as I was drifting off to sleep, my phone rang on the bedside table. It wasn't an alarm or WeChat, but a phone call.

She reached out her fair arm to retrieve her phone, and upon seeing the caller ID on the screen, her early morning smile returned.

"Hey, Su Yu."

A gentle, soft-spoken voice came from the other end of the line, "Yaoyao, are you awake? Did I disturb you?"

"No, I was already awake and getting ready. I'll wash up and then meet up with Xiaoxue to pick you up. Shouldn't you be on the plane at this time?" She suddenly realized why she was being called now.

Su Yu chuckled across from her. This girl only realized it now. "The matter was completed ahead of schedule. I changed my flight last night."

"Oh, why didn't you text me last night? I even set my alarm wrong. What time will you arrive? Is it too late for us to come over now?" She took her phone off her ear and saw that it was already 2 a.m. The original plan was to arrive around 3 p.m., so this would be just in time.

But now it seems it's not just right, it's definitely 100% late.

The alarm is set for 2:10 AM.

Su Yu's tone remained gentle and unhurried as he asked, "I've arrived. Are you awake?"

"Wait for me, I'll come pick you up right now."

"You..." The unfinished words were left only as a silent echo. This girl was always so hasty, and she never broke her promises.

In the airport terminal, in a coffee shop, a man wearing light gold-rimmed glasses exuded a refined gentleness, and within that gentleness lay a calm composure.

"Mr. Su, are we waiting for someone?" Assistant Qin Kai was puzzled. It had been more than an hour since they got off the plane, and Young Master Su had been sitting here drinking leisurely.

"Okay, it'll be soon. Go to the company first and arrange what you need to do tomorrow."

"Okay, Ms. Su, then you..."

"I'll wait for someone to pick me up." Su Yu didn't look up, but kept glancing at the light blue watch face on his wrist.

Qin Kai couldn't figure out what his boss was thinking. Although Master Su had asked him to go to the company to hand over the work today, his boss had postponed it and insisted on arranging it for tomorrow without telling him the reason. He just told him to go to the company to make arrangements in advance.

After Qin Kai left, Su Yu calmly sipped his coffee and waited patiently.

Tang Junyao rode her bike to a spot outside the Royal Garden Villa where it would be easier to hail a taxi.

Once inside the taxi, she called Su Xue, "Miss, where are you?"

"I'm sleeping, the alarm hasn't gone off yet," Su Xue said, rubbing her eyes open as she answered the phone.

"Your brother called me, he's already at the airport, so you have 10 minutes to get out. If you're later than me, you know what happens?"

Su Xue suddenly woke up. Was her brother really that cunning? Pulling this trick at her, she threw her phone on the bed, and without even putting on her slippers, went straight into the bathroom to wash up.

She checked the time before leaving, and it took her 8 minutes. This was the shortest time she had ever spent washing up. She didn't even have time to put on makeup. Being bare-faced was better than getting beaten up.

Two minutes later.

The two arrived at the airport entrance at the same time.

When Su Xue saw Tang Junyao about to get off the bus, she immediately threw down 100 yuan and said, "Keep the change." She hurriedly ran inside, afraid that Tang Junyao would snatch it first.

Upon seeing this scene, Tang Junyao covered her mouth with laughter.

I remember when we were kids, every time the three of us agreed on where to go to play, Su Xue would be severely punished if she lagged behind.

This left a deep shadow on Su Xue.

I remember once when we went hiking, Su Xue overslept. Su Yu and Tang Junyao waited for her at the foot of the mountain for a full hour. When they arrived, Su Yu said, "Su Xiaoxue, I've been waiting for you for one hour and seven minutes. Now you're climbing up by yourself, waiting for us for two hours and fourteen minutes."

Su Xue panicked, "Brother, why do I have to climb up alone? What about you and Yao Yao?"

"Let's go buy some food and experience what it's like to wait for someone."

Su Xue: "............."

Then Su Yu actually did it, insisting on dragging Tang Junyao to the city to buy milk tea and cake, claiming that climbing mountains would burn energy.

They really made Su Xue wait for several hours before they reached the top of the mountain.

Recalling her childhood memories with the three of them, she couldn't help but laugh. She was very happy and joyful, and being with them was the most relaxing time for her.

Su Yu truly treated her like a younger sister and always took special care of her; you could say he took care of her even more than he took care of Su Xue.

Many times, Su Xue said she suspected that she was adopted and that Tang Junyao was Su Yu's sister.

My thoughts drifted a little far away. After snapping back to reality, I quickly walked into the airport.

Su Yu is the kind of person who stands out in a crowd; even if he tries to keep a low profile, he can still be spotted in a crowd at a glance.

When Tang Junyao walked through the gate, Su Yu was already dragging his suitcase and walking out.

We haven't seen each other for several years.

His features remained as gentle and refined as ever, exuding an air of scholarly elegance and composure. After several years apart, he had gained a newfound calmness and maturity.

Seeing Tang Junyao's stunned expression, he chuckled and teased, "Don't you recognize me?"

Su Xue linked her arm with his and laughed, "Yao Yao, are you amazed by my brother's good looks?"

Su Yu did not speak, but gazed tenderly at Tang Junyao with a smile on his lips.

Tang Junyao hadn't expected Su Yu to become so handsome. Her momentary daze wasn't due to attraction between a man and a woman, but rather because she used to be young and could play without restraint, but now she realized she had grown up and was a little reserved.

She adopted the relaxed tone she usually used when they played together, "Yeah, if Su Yu isn't handsome, who is? Right, bro?" After saying that, she looked up and smiled at Su Yu.

Su Yu's eyes held a hint of doting and indulgence. "Yes, Yao Yao is right."

Then she immediately turned to her younger sister and said, "Don't be so smug just because you didn't come later than Yao Yao today. You know the real situation."

Su Xue pouted, "Brother, can you please stop scolding me as soon as you come back? You're making me stupid."

Tang Junyao smiled and reached out to take the luggage from Su Yu's hand.

"Let Su Xiaoxue take it. I think she's gained weight recently, so she needs to burn some calories," Su Yu said seriously.

Su Xue: ".............." Do I still want to take this guy home?

Tang Junyao couldn't stop smiling. She felt that with Su Yu back, Su Xue's good days were coming to an end, and she'd probably be under his control every day. "Brother Su Yu, let me do it. Xiao Xue isn't awake yet."

As he spoke, he took the suitcase and pushed it in front of him.

Su Yu didn't stop her this time, and was a little dazed as he watched the woman pushing her suitcase.

Su Xue's cheerful voice rang in his ears, "Yao Yao is still the best to me, hmph. Today, I'm treating you to dinner at the Tihou Hotel. Let me tell you, a new chef there cooks dishes exactly like Yao Yao's. Don't you always say Yao Yao's cooking is delicious?"
