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

Inside Yan Na's room.

Lan Yunchen felt perfectly at ease staying in Yan Na's boudoir for the first time. He naturally lifted the covers and got into bed, just like at home, without feeling awkward or uncomfortable at all.

The two were discussing something, shoulder to shoulder.

The three people's intermittent interruptions dampened their enthusiasm, and Lan Yunchen decided to talk to Yan Na about something serious. "Nana, have you seen the list of betrothal gifts my father brought?"

"Yes, I've seen it." Yan Na straightened the blankets, sat up a little, and then handed the things her father had given her to Lan Yunchen from the bedside table.

Lan Yunchen accepted the gifts. He didn't know what kind of betrothal gifts his father had prepared, and he was curious. He looked at them and found them quite generous, consisting mostly of shares and a small portion of the Lan family's assets. "Do you think it's too little?"

Yan Na tilted her head and leaned on Lan Yunchen's shoulder like a little woman. She spoke very seriously, pointing to a column on the list and saying, "Yunchen, I don't like our marriage being bound by these things. You know, I especially hate those TV dramas where people demand to add their names to the deed as soon as they get married, and those who are already red-faced and talking about dowry before they're even married. I hope our feelings are pure. If we really have to accept something, we can exchange 10% of the company shares, and that's it."

It can be considered as each other establishing a foothold in the other's company.

Yan Na is not young, but her requirements for relationships are very simple. Although these things can show the Lan family's goodwill, she still does not intend to accept them. She can accept the business she will build with Lan Yunchen in the future, but she cannot accept the business that Lan Yunchen's parents have worked hard for all their lives.

What's the point of suddenly trying to get a piece of the pie?

Yan Na's ideas are different from others; she likes the things she works hard for and feels a sense of accomplishment.

Hearing this, Lan Yunchen understood. He pointed to the list and said, "These are not my father's properties, they are mine. You can accept them without any guilt."

He pulled her into his arms and kissed Yan Na on the forehead. If it were any other woman, she would probably be overjoyed, but this woman didn't want any of that and even asked to switch places.

"Keep these away and explain to your uncle." Yan Na still didn't intend to accept them. "I'll explain to my dad that I can only accept a 10% share swap."

The Yan family is not short of money, and her parents can understand her actions.

Noticing the emotions and naked thoughts in the man's eyes, Yan Na quickly stopped herself, "Stop, let's have a truce tonight, can you let me recover my energy?" It was like something out of a ghost story, she was almost drained dry.

Yan Na had reason to suspect that the man was a fox spirit in disguise.

Lan Yunchen saw a hint of panic in Yan Na's eyes, which amused him. Was he really that scary? It was just that he took a little longer. "Nana, let's go running together tomorrow." He needed to work on his stamina.

"We'll talk about it tomorrow." She has a habit of running occasionally, mainly depending on her mood.

"Go to sleep, I won't touch you, let you conserve your energy, and we'll get our marriage certificate after the New Year, okay? Do you want to get it in Beijing or Shanghai?"

The wedding arrangements were all settled, and Yan Na lay down next to him, snuggling into his arms. "It's fine either way. Where would you like Mr. Lan to go? If you think the capital city is more meaningful, we'll go there. If you're more satisfied with Lancheng, I'll arrange everything perfectly for you."

Lan Yunchen smiled. This is what it feels like to have a capable fiancée. "Lan Cheng, I want you to become a member of the Lan family."

"In the capital, you're mine; in Blue City, I'm yours. Isn't that fair?" Yan Na looked up at him, a smile playing on her lips as she answered.

"Yes, that's perfectly fair."

Noon the next day.

The parking lot of the Emperor Hotel was lined with several luxury cars, clearly belonging to the wealthy and powerful.

Inside the private room sat four families: the Ji family, the Han family, the Lan family, and the Yan family.

There were 13 people sitting at the round table. Ji Hancheng and Tang Junyao were invited by Shen Muyun. Yaoyao and Ji Hancheng are from the Lan family, so it was natural to invite them when discussing marriage in the capital.

The only one missing from the Yan family was Yan Zhun. The reason was simple: Yan Zhun disliked these kinds of occasions, and he was afraid that he would become the main character of the day while the conversation was going on. His sister was getting married, and he would definitely be next.

Yan Zhun was able to predict with 100% certainty that his mother's next target would be him. If he couldn't afford to offend her, he could always avoid her.

Seated in order were the Yan family couple, Lan Yunchen and Yan Na, the Lan family couple, the Han family couple, then Han Yue, Lan Yunxi, Yan Feifei, Tang Junyao, and Ji Hancheng at the back.

Ji Hancheng was wearing a dark gray double-sided cashmere coat, his hair neatly combed, just like today was when he was discussing marriage. In contrast, Lan Yunchen was dressed much more casually, in a sweater and a down jacket, except that the down jacket was the same style as Yan Na's, one black and the other white.

Defined as a couple's outfit, Ji Hancheng smiled knowingly when no one could see it. "He's so old and still doing this."

Until she saw her sister-in-law Lan Yunxi and Han Yue's outfits, she realized she had made a mistake. They were both there to show off their love, because Han Yue and Lan Yunxi were also wearing matching outfits: sweatshirts of the same color underneath and down vests of the same color on top.

Ji Hancheng: "............"

Mr. Han always believed that he deserved credit for the two young men's success, and he was quite proud of himself. He always wanted his strict father to thank him, and then he realized that someone was missing: "Where's your son?"

The mother said with a tone of disappointment, "Where else can this child go but the hospital? There was an emergency surgery, and we rushed to the hospital."

"Why didn't Guoguo and your son-in-law come? They always praise your son-in-law on the phone, why are they hiding him and reluctant to bring him out?" Yan's father wanted to compare, his son-in-law was also excellent, and he wanted to get back at Han's father.

Han's mother explained, "Since Guoguo got pregnant, Su Yu has been very careful. He doesn't wake her up unless she wakes up naturally. She's probably still sleeping right now."

This answer greatly pleased Mr. Han, earning him widespread praise and further solidifying his own position. He secretly gave Mrs. Han a thumbs-up under the table.

Mother Yan praised with a smile, "No wonder your husband Han keeps praising her. Our Nana is so lucky. Even late at night, Yunchen made noodles for Nana."

Yan Na: ".............." The awkward scene from last night resurfaced in her mind. She awkwardly smoothed her hair to hide her embarrassment.

Lan Yunchen, however, acted as if nothing had happened, politely speaking seriously, "I'm glad Nana doesn't mind."

These words made Ji Hancheng, who was sitting at the back, laugh. He also sensed a hint of embarrassment in Yan Na and had a premonition that something must have happened last night.

The three women huddled together and whispered among themselves. Lan Yunxi was the happiest. "Sister, sister, look, don't brother and sister-in-law make a perfect match? I think they're a perfect couple."

The little girl even emphasized the word "special".

Yan Feifei gave her face and said, "It has to be a perfect match, an absolutely perfect match. Just last night, your brother cooked noodles for my sister. On the way here, Mom kept praising him, as if he had won millions in the lottery. She was walking on air."

"My brother is really good. He's very gentle, you'll gradually discover that. He's incredibly gentle with his family, and I believe he'll spoil his sister-in-law terribly."

Just like how her brother Yue dotes on her.

Tang Junyao agreed with what Lan Yunxi said and chimed in, "Xixi is right, my brother will treat your sister very well."

"My sister will definitely be happy."

Tang Junyao smiled and said, "We will all be happy."

While the women were talking, the mother's tone suddenly changed, seemingly encouraging them to have children: "Hancheng, you're a winner in life, having three children all at once, amazing."

Upon hearing this, Ji Hancheng felt proud and satisfied. He poured a glass of water for Tang Junyao beside him, gently placed it in front of her, and then continued speaking as if it were a natural thing, unhurriedly, "With good genes, my older brother also has that chance."

Hearing the man beside her say this in a serious tone, Tang Junyao narrowed her beautiful eyes at him, signaling him to take it easy.

Ji Hancheng smiled and said it was nothing. He even tickled Tang Junyao's palm under the table to make her relax, but Tang Junyao grabbed his mischievous hand and gave him a warning look, telling him to behave.

The topic was immediately shifted to Lan Yunchen.

Similarly, when the criticism was directed at Lan Yunchen, he laughed, "Hancheng was talking about the probability that our Lan family has twin genes. Several of our ancestors were twins, so the probability is relatively high."

Shen Muyun nodded, indicating that her son was not lying. "What Yunchen said is true, indeed."

Han Yue glanced at the little girl beside him, feeling overjoyed. He secretly thought that if the little girl also had multiple pregnancies, the problem would be solved all at once. However, if there was only one, he wouldn't have any more children.

He doesn't want to see the young girl have several children; it's too tiring.

Yan Feifei: "............" Does this gene still exist?

Upon hearing this, Yan's mother was overjoyed. There was still a chance of twins. Their Nana had struck gold. "That's good. It's alright. One is fine too. Yunchen, you can do it!"

Yan Na: "............"

Lan Yunchen didn't know how to respond to his mother-in-law's words, so he could only smile. Actually, he was trying quite hard.

Today's gathering was a bit off-topic, as if they were having a meal together, like a gathering of old friends who have known each other for many years. Yan's mother is a very talkative person with a good personality.

He was extremely satisfied with the son-in-law his daughter had found, so he was definitely all smiles, grinning throughout the entire meal.

Han Yue and Ji Hancheng were talking about the twins across from each other, which made Yan Feifei very awkward. She suddenly felt that her brother was very wise.

Every now and then, Lan Yunxi would bring up more profound topics, resting her head on her hand and praying that she would have twins in the future, which amused Han Yue greatly. However, his face didn't change much, but he was happy inside.

"Yunchen, we're entrusting Nana to you from now on. We hope you'll treat her well. My daughter has a rather strong personality, so please bear with her in the future," the stern father instructed at the dinner table.

The atmosphere instantly turned serious. The stern father took a few sips of wine and was gratified to see Lan Yunchen taking such good care of his daughter at the dinner table. He hoped that things would continue like this.

Lan Yunchen picked up his cup and looked at his stern father; "Uncle, I will, you can rest assured."

Then, he drank it all in one gulp.

Lan Chumu assured his son, "Old Yan, you can rest assured. My son is a man of principle. If he does something wrong in the future, you can criticize him just like you would your own son. I, Lan Chumu, won't say a word against him."

Even the usually taciturn Shen Muyun assured her son, "Yes, once Nana marries into our family, I will treat her the same way I treat Xixi, without any deviation."

The couple's assurances, along with Lan Yunchen's, relieved the father. Looking at his daughter smiling at him, he smiled too, a light shining in the deepest part of his eyes. "Alright, the marriage is settled then. As for when to hold the wedding, the two children can decide for themselves."
