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

11 o'clock noon.

There was a knock on Lan Yunxi's door. Han Yue, still half asleep, went to open it. When he opened the door, he saw Lan Yunchen, who rubbed his messy hair, yawned, and asked in a slightly hoarse voice, "What's wrong?"

There was a drawing on Han Yue's chest, a little girl's masterpiece. Lan Yunchen noticed it with his sharp eyes but ignored it.

"Still not awake?" Lan Yunchen raised his hand to look at his watch. It had been almost 9 hours, so he must have slept for at least 7 hours.

"Almost, something's up." Han Yue opened his eyes with difficulty and yawned again.

"Go to the airport to pick up Yao Yao and the others. They should arrive around 12 o'clock." Lan Yunchen gave the order without caring whether Han Yue was awake or not.

Han Yue didn't refuse, pinched his brow, and replied, "Okay."

After speaking, Lan Yunchen carefully closed the door again. Han Yue stood at the door for a while, then went straight to the bedside. The little girl was sleeping soundly, and he couldn't bear to wake her.

He planned to pick her up himself, went into the bathroom to wash up, and 10 minutes later, he picked out a simple outfit from the closet. He still liked to wear jeans, a white t-shirt, and a black cardigan.

She took a sticky note from the table, wrote a line on it, and placed it on another pillow. The sticky note was for the little girl to use for making notes while studying, and it would come in handy now.

When Shen Muyun saw her son-in-law come downstairs, already dressed, she asked softly, "Why didn't you sleep a little longer?"

"I'll go pick up... my sister and brother-in-law." Han Yue seemed to have never called Tang Junyao "sister" to her face before, and for some reason, he felt a little unaccustomed to it, and it even felt a bit of a tongue twister.

Shen Muyun smiled and said, "It's okay. If you're not used to calling me by my name, just call me by my name. Have something to eat before you go." As she spoke, she told the maid to bring up the breakfast that was kept warm in the pot.

Han Yue picked out soy milk and a hard-boiled egg from the plate. "That's enough, thank you, Mom."

Upon hearing this, Shen Muyun was taken aback, but quickly recovered and, with a smile, instructed, "Drive slowly, let Black Tiger come along."

Han Yue took a sip of soy milk, feeling a warm sensation in his stomach. He didn't think he had made a mistake in calling out the name and declined, saying, "No need, it's not far."

After Han Yue left, Shen Muyun still instructed people to follow behind and protect him, "Black Tiger, take a few men and follow the young master to ensure his safety."

Black Tiger replied respectfully, "Yes, Madam."

Seeing Han Yue leave, Yan's mother went into the living room and asked Shen Muyun, "Has Xiao Yue gone back yet?"

"No, I went to pick up my niece and Hancheng and the others."

Shen Muyun always had a smile on her face, giving people a very comfortable feeling. She wore a white, fitted silk dress with a long, hazy blue cardigan over it, and stood upright, looking incredibly elegant.

Strict Mother: If she were a man, she would probably fall for such a gentle woman. Yuan Shu has a good temperament, but she is obviously not easy to control.

Not long after Han Yue left, Lan Yunxi woke up and subconsciously reached out to touch the person next to her, only to find nothing there. She immediately opened her eyes and searched for Han Yue's shadow.

She turned her head and saw the sticky note Han Yue had left on her pillow. She lay down again, picked it up, and read it while lying on her side: I'm going to pick someone up from the airport.

After reading it, Lan Yunxi smiled, thinking that Han Yue had left again without a word. The sense of loss she had just felt was instantly filled by Han Yue's few words. She picked up her phone and glanced at the time. It was already 11:30. It was about time to get up and have lunch.

I quickly got up and washed up, because my sister and the others would be here soon.

She skipped downstairs with cheerful steps, calling out loudly, "Hello, Mom! Hello, Auntie!" She looked around but couldn't find Feifei. When she reached the middle of the stairs, she realized she hadn't greeted the little one, so she turned back.

Before Yan's mother could even greet her, Lan Yunxi rushed upstairs again, and asked in bewilderment, "Why did you go back again?"

"I forgot to go to Nana's room to see my nephew. Xixi goes to see the baby every day before going to school."

Shen Muyun explained softly.

Strict mother: This family atmosphere is amazing.

Lan Yunxi, who had returned, knocked on Yan Na's door. "Sister-in-law, are you up? May I come in?"

Lan Yunchen opened the door. The baby had just finished his bath and was getting dressed. The room was at a comfortable temperature. The little guy was kicking his legs quietly and was very well-behaved.

"Oh, you've finished your little bath. Mmm, you're so cute! I need to kiss you before I can go downstairs, mwah." She said, giving the little one a kiss on the cheek and then a kiss on the little hand.

"Brother, I think Xiaoyu's personality is a lot like yours. Sister-in-law, do you think so too? She's incredibly emotionally stable."

Lan Yunxi looked at her nephew, who was so quiet on the bed that he couldn't be quieter. His little eyes kept darting around as he played by himself, without crying or making a fuss at all.

"They look quite alike." Indeed, they really do look alike. Lan Yunchen named the child Lan Zhiyu, meaning that he would meet Nana.

Lan Yunchen looked at Yan Na, a slight smile playing on his lips. He patted his sister's head and said, "Go down and get something to eat. We might have lunch together when Yao Yao and the others arrive. There's still some time, so hurry up."

"oh."

Blue City Airport.

An hour later, a plane swooped down from the clouds, taxied for a distance before coming to a slow stop, and the roar faded away.

Han Yue didn't go into the airport; he just waited in the parking lot, leisurely leaning against the car door smoking. The cigarette between his fingers was already half-burned, and a thin mist surrounded his face, creating a hazy effect.

At the exit, a man wearing a dark brown trench coat and black sunglasses came out, holding a little boy in a black leather jacket and small black sunglasses in his arms.

A woman wearing a beige trench coat over a floral dress was with the man, holding his arm. Both the man and woman were pushing suitcases. The woman was wearing light purple sunglasses.

Han Yue spotted the flamboyant family at a glance, and the surrounding people were also looking at the good-looking family, turning their heads to look. "Over here."

Ji Hancheng narrowed his eyes slightly behind his glasses and teased, "You've got some sense. Are you genuinely trying to pick someone up? Is this what your elder brother instructed you to do?"

Han Yue scoffed at his teasing, casually took the suitcase from Tang Junyao's hand, and pinched the handsome little boy's cheek. "You're quite handsome. Be content. I sacrificed my sleep to pick you up."

Ji Hancheng smiled slightly, placed the child in Yao Yao's arms, and followed Han Yue to put the suitcase in the trunk. Han Yue was driving his own Porsche, which he parked at the Lan family manor when he was not in Lan City.

Tang Junyao had already opened the back door of the car herself and gotten in. "Lele, what did Mom teach you? You have to greet people, call him Uncle, okay?"

Little Yuzu responded softly, "Mm."

When Han Yue got into the driver's seat and Ji Hancheng sat in the passenger seat, Xiao Youzi, sitting in the back, whispered, "Uncle."

Han Yue, who was about to start the car, stopped, turned around, and smiled, "Hey, you're much more polite than your dad. I'll give you a gift when we get home."

"Don't try to fool my son by acting like Santa Claus, able to pull out presents at will."

Chi Han-cheng reminded people not to fasten their seatbelts carelessly.

"Don't worry, I'm much more trustworthy than you."

Tang Junyao listened to the two of them exchanging barbs, neither willing to back down. She was used to it, so she sat quietly in the back with her son in her arms, not intending to participate in the childish verbal battle.

Because there was a child in the car, Han Yue drove very carefully and at a steady speed, without any sudden braking. Ji Hancheng and Tang Junyao, who both knew how to drive, noticed this action.

As soon as the car arrived at the Lan family manor and stopped, everyone inside came out to greet them, especially the usually calm Shen Muyun, who strode over to them.

Busy opening the back door and taking Xiao Youzi out, Shen Muyun was overjoyed. "Auntie, look at him! He's so handsome! Did you miss me? Who bought these sunglasses? They look so good on him!"

Little Youzi wrapped her arms around Shen Muyun's neck and said, "Daddy bought it." Then she pointed to Ji Hancheng's sunglasses, who had just gotten out of the car, to indicate that they were the same style.

"Auntie, Aunt Yan."

Shen Muyun carried the child inside, saying, "Hey, it's getting a bit sunny outside, let's go inside."

Lan Yunxi followed behind, teasing the child, "You haven't called me yet, and you haven't said you missed me, so I won't give you a present later."

"Auntie."

Hearing Xiaoyouzi call out, Lan Yunxi affectionately patted his little face. "Auntie will give you a present later. Let's go upstairs and peek at it secretly, okay?"

Little Yuzu nodded, then added, "My uncle also said he'd give me a gift."

Are they the same?

In response to her nephew's two consecutive questions, Lan Yunxi subconsciously glanced at Han Yue behind her, asking in an inquiring tone, "Did you promise to give Lele the toy? Is it the airplane in my room?"

Last time, Tang Junyao shared with Lan Yunxi about Ji Hancheng repairing the plane. The next day, Lan Yunxi went to the Blue City Building and bought a limited edition cool plane to take home and keep it hidden.

Han Yue was carrying Tang Junyao's suitcase. "Yes, he calls me uncle."

uncle?

The little one is so sensible. "Okay, then let... Uncle give you another gift, two of them, okay? Aren't you happy?"

Tang Junyao entered with Shen Muyun's arm in arm. Seeing that the living room was suddenly full of people, Yan's mother sat down so as not to disturb everyone's reminiscing.

"He's so happy! He got two toys as soon as he walked in. Xixi always hides gifts for him. This time, he said his aunt would definitely have a gift. He's been looking forward to it for a long time. He's so clever. Yesterday, Grandpa asked him if he was coming, and he said he was."

Lan Yunchen came downstairs and heard the noise from the living room. He saw Han Yue carrying a suitcase upstairs and helped him carry it up. Ji Hancheng went straight upstairs to his and Yao Yao's room as if he were going home.

Downstairs, there was a lively atmosphere filled with laughter and chatter, everyone was smiling, and people would chatter amongst themselves.

Han Yue carried his suitcase upstairs and came downstairs. He didn't sit on the sofa, but instead leaned leisurely against the door, looking at the scene in the living room with a bored expression. Seeing the little girl laughing so happily, he couldn't help but curl his lips into a smile.

You can tell that the little girl really likes children.

The commotion downstairs was so loud that it woke Yan Feifei, who had been sleeping soundly until the world was dark. She rubbed her eyes as she came downstairs, her eyes not even fully open. She had forgotten that she was in the Yan family home.

I went downstairs in my pajamas, still half asleep, and when I finally finished yawning and opened my eyes...

Everyone in the living room was watching Yan Feifei, disheveled and unkempt, on the stairs. Without a second's hesitation, she sped back to her room with rocket speed, slamming the door shut.

The strict mother in the living room downstairs: "............." silently repeating to herself, "My own child, my own child, my own child."

We've embarrassed ourselves internationally; I almost couldn't catch my breath.

Looks like I'll need to bring some nitroglycerin pills with me when I take this girl out in the future.
