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

Han Family Villa.

As soon as Han Guoguo got off work, she brought her child to the Han family home. In the living room, Su Can was sitting on the robot vacuum cleaner, spinning around and having a great time, clapping and cheering all the while.

Such a beautiful scene made Lan Yunxi too embarrassed to speak. To prevent any slip-ups, she had to spoil the mood a bit. With Yue-ge's keen observation skills, she couldn't keep up the act for long under his nose.

Lan Yunxi was aware of this.

Lan Yunxi concealed her emotions, pretending to be as usual, and affectionately took Han Yue's arm as they sat down on the sofa, a smile on her face.

She glanced at the expressions on everyone's faces in the living room, took a few seconds to mentally prepare herself, and then slightly parted her lips, still smiling sweetly, "Sister Lu, I plan to go back to Blue City tomorrow."

Upon hearing this, everyone in the living room except the little one, who was still excited, turned their attention to Lan Yunxi, trying to ascertain whether it was true or not; the notification had come rather suddenly.

Seeing that no one was speaking, Lan Yunxi continued, "I still have some homework I forgot to bring, so I plan to cram at the last minute when I get back."

After saying that, he shrugged his shoulders sheepishly, looking quite helpless.

The first to react was Han's mother, who instructed, "Han Yue can go to Blue City to get it and bring it here to do."

Han's mother also hoped that her daughter-in-law could stay a few more days. Xi Xi's personality was very likable, and being with her felt like having another lovely daughter.

Han Yue subconsciously squeezed the hand of the girl beside him, puzzled and thoughtful. He wondered why the girl had made this decision so quietly. It shouldn't be like this; the two of them would have discussed it before leaving.

That's a bit unusual.

Afraid that Han Yue would suspect something, Lan Yunxi turned around and said coquettishly, "Oh, I didn't mean to not tell you. I was just afraid that you would miss me. I told my brother that I would go back half a month early before I came. If you don't believe me, you can call my brother."

Lan Yunxi hadn't actually told her brother Lan Yunchen that she was going back this time because of a surprise, and it was a last-minute decision. She was betting that Han Yue wouldn't call her brother to confirm.

Sure enough, Han Yue believed the girl without a doubt, because his girl was honest and well-behaved. He compromised and said, "Okay, I'll take you back."

Seeing Han Yue's mood drop, Lan Yunxi almost couldn't hold back her excitement and wanted to tell him the surprise in advance. She closed her eyes for a moment before saying, "No need. I have Black Tiger and bodyguards with me. If you go, I won't be able to study. I'll have to think about playing again."

Lan Yunxi's words were all reasonable and flawless, making Han Yue reluctant to disturb her studies.

He pursed his lips and remained silent, his eyes revealing deep reluctance, and he gripped the little girl's hand even tighter.

Han Guoguo could see her brother's reluctance and said regretfully, "Ah, I was thinking of going shopping with you tomorrow to buy some clothes for the changing season. Why are you going back already? Why don't you stay a few more days?"

Following the robot vacuum around the sofa, Su Yu noticed the evasive look in Lan Yunxi's eyes. After thinking for a moment, he still couldn't figure out why she had suddenly left. Since Xixi was at the base today, Yaoyao must know the reason.

However, this was not something he could inquire about, nor was it appropriate for him to offer any advice.

Su Can continued playing, not needing anyone to watch over him at all. However, Su Yu was afraid that the child would fall, so he followed closely behind, going around and around with the robot vacuum cleaner.

I almost got dizzy from spinning around.

Lan Yunxi still refused, "No, I won't. If I stay a few more days, I won't want to go back. I'll come back on October 1st." By then, it will have been almost three months, and the surprise should be more certain.

Guoguo wasn't one to force anyone. She winked at her brother, meaning, "I've already helped, it's up to you now." "Okay, we'll see. If it's possible, we can go to Blue City, right, honey?"

Su Yu, who had just circled around to behind Han Guoguo, replied, "Mm."

Ever since Xixi said she was leaving, Han Yue has remained silent, his lips pursed, seemingly lost in thought.

Seeing that her daughter-in-law was determined to return to Lancheng, Han's mother didn't force her. "What do you want to take back? Auntie will go buy it now."

"No need, I still have two bags of the snacks you bought for me. I'll just take them to Blue City. It's not like I won't come next time."

Han's mother nodded, glanced at her son, and urged, "Alright, Xiaoyue, you go with Xixi to pack her luggage. It's past 9 o'clock, get some rest."

Han Yue responded casually, "Mm."

Watching her son and daughter-in-law walk upstairs, Han's mother felt a little strange. She narrowed her eyes. Han's father was working overtime at night and was still working hard at this hour.

Han Guoguo sighed as she watched her brother's retreating figure, feeling deep sympathy. "Oh, poor brother, the Magpie Bridge is going to disappear again."

Inside the room, Lan Yunxi lowered her head, not daring to look Han Yue in the eye. With a normal expression, she picked up a suitcase and began to pack her things. Once the suitcase was opened, she rested her chin on her hand, unsure of where to begin.

Han Yue put his hands in his pockets, glanced at the little girl who had been squatting on the ground for a long time without doing anything, and helplessly squatted down to help, "I'll do it."

Lan Yunxi was naturally willing. She continued to rest her chin on her hand and squatted to the side watching her Yue-ge help her organize her things. Seeing that she was squatting, Han Yue was afraid that her legs would go numb, so he helped her up, pressed her down on the bed, and instructed, "Sit properly."

He took clothes out of the closet, placed them on the bed, folded them neatly for the little girl, and then put them one by one into the suitcase. After saying "Sit still," Han Yue didn't say anything more.

Lan Yunxi didn't want to leave either, but she wanted to prepare a foolproof surprise. What if she didn't settle down? Wouldn't that just turn into a shock?

Especially Sister Lu and Brother Yu, who were always working overtime. Since she came, Han Yue has not been so busy. He always leaves work on time in the evening to accompany her. She can guess that a lot of work has piled up on Sister Lu and the others.

If she told them now, the whole family would probably fawn over her, and she felt a little reluctant, since Sister Lu and Brother Yu had already worked so hard.

Occasionally, when I go downstairs for a late-night snack, I can see that the study light is still on.

"Brother Yue," Lan Yunxi called softly.

Han Yue looked up and met the little girl's bright smile. "Hmm, what's wrong?"

"No, I just wanted to call you. Don't be upset. I'm graduating next year, and I'll be living in the capital every day from now on. Does that make you feel a little happier?" Lan Yunxi coaxed.

Han Yue always works very quickly. He helped organize everything in no time. When one box couldn't hold everything, Han Yue took out his own suitcase to help pack it, including snacks and skincare products.

"Go take a shower first." Han Yue got up, put the packed suitcase in a corner, walked to Lan Yunxi's side, affectionately ruffled the girl's hair, and then turned around to help her get her pajamas.

"Oh, okay." Lan Yunxi took her pajamas and walked carefully, feeling a little nervous. In the past, if she left tomorrow, there would definitely be a three-hundred-round battle that night. Although the analogy was a bit exaggerated, that was pretty much the idea.

Now that she has a child, she absolutely has to behave herself at night. What excuse could she possibly make? As Han Yue entered the bathroom, he saw the young girl frowning and deep in thought.

Lan Yunxi was thinking about what excuse she could use to avoid a deep conversation that night.

In the end, Lan Yunxi underestimated Han Yue. He did not call Lan Yunchen, but he was all too familiar with the girl's every move. He took out his phone, stood on the balcony, and lit a cigarette. The scarlet sparks stood out starkly in the night.

He dialed Ji Hancheng's number, and heard the sounds of three children playing on the other end of the line. The loudest voices came from his two daughters, Xiao Youzi, who was calling for her younger sister to go to sleep. After listening for a while, he spoke up, "I have a question for your wife."

Ji Hancheng guessed it was about Xixi, but he wasn't particularly interested and said indifferently, "Go ahead."

Han Yue took a drag of his cigarette, exhaled a smoke ring, and a gentle breeze dispersed the smoke. "What did Xixi say to your wife this afternoon?"

"What's wrong with Xixi?" Ji Hancheng asked with concern.

"She's going back to Blue City tomorrow." Han Yue's tone was indifferent, without much emotion, but Ji Hancheng could still sense his frustration.

"Wait a minute." There was silence on the other end of the phone. Ji Hancheng had obviously gone to ask his wife. Han Yue waited impatiently. He could have just asked the girl directly, but seeing that she didn't want to say, Han Yue wanted to respect her wishes. However, he also secretly wanted to know.

It's a dilemma. I'm afraid the girl might be upset about something, and I want to find out secretly.

If you encounter trouble, he can secretly help you solve it; there's no need to frown and think about it.

Tang Junyao was covering her daughter with a blanket when she naturally heard Han Yue's words. This was because Ji Hancheng had the phone on speakerphone. He's been acting strangely lately; whenever he gets a call, he wants to share it with Tang Junyao, so he always listens on speakerphone together.

She never expected that Xixi's idea of ​​having a solution was actually desertion? Or that she would simply take the ball back to Blue City? How was she supposed to answer that? How was she supposed to lie?

Ji Hancheng, holding his phone, gestured for Tang Junyao to come back to her senses, then turned off the speakerphone and asked in a low voice, "What happened?"

Tang Junyao paused for a few seconds, quickly thinking in her mind. Xixi just wanted to give Han Yue a stable surprise. She had been explaining too much science to herself, and she was so nervous that she couldn't tell Han Yue about it on Xixi's behalf.

After pondering for a while, he sighed heavily, told a lie, and included a hint, asking Ji Hancheng to pass it on to Han Yue.

About two minutes later, Ji Hancheng's voice came through the phone screen again, "Yaoyao said Xixi is fine, so you don't need to worry. She just didn't finish her homework and wants to go back. Let Xixi get a good night's sleep, and you can figure it out by calculating the date."

After listening, Han Yue simply said thank you and hung up the phone.

Tang Junyao's lie, by sheer chance, turned out to be the same excuse Lan Yunxi had given her that night, which put Han Yue's suspicions at ease.

If you count the days, tomorrow is the girl's due date. Could it be that the girl's back is aching? Has she been asking for too much lately?

A moment later, Lan Yunxi came out of the bathroom, rubbing her wet hair with a towel. Han Yue quickly threw away his cigarette and stepped into the room. "Is your back starting to ache?"

Lan Yunxi didn't react for a moment. She was just thinking about what to do if Yue-ge wanted to do it that night, and how to refuse. Suddenly, she thought this excuse was good, so she went along with it and said, "Well, it's probably because I'm getting my period tomorrow. My back is a little sore today."

After saying that, I felt a little guilty and embarrassed.

Han Yue didn't doubt it. "Okay, sit down, and get some rest after you've dried your hair."

After drying his hair, Han Yue went to the bathroom to take a shower, leaving Lan Yunxi alone in bed waiting. She subconsciously touched her stomach, savoring the surprise, a smile playing on her lips, full of anticipation.

I wonder what Yue-ge's expression will be when he finds out. Will he jump for joy, or will he blame her for being immature?

Lost in thought, the bathroom door opened, and Han Yue came out with his hair dried. As he pulled back the covers and lay down, he saw the girl lost in thought and asked, "What are you thinking about?"

Lan Yunxi smiled playfully, in a good mood, "I was thinking, what if I miss you? Will you miss me?"

Han Yue: They don't even want to let you go back, how could they not want to?

"Yes, lie down. Doesn't your back hurt? Lie down and I'll massage it for you."

After a moment of silence, she immediately refused, "No need, just hold me and then touch me."

Han Yue looked at the girl suspiciously. "Can I use it if my back aches? Didn't you want me to rub it?" he asked. He replied, "Mmm."

Lan Yunxi knew Han Yue wouldn't touch her that night, so she found a comfortable spot to curl up and sleep. "Brother Yue, I love you, I love you so much." She was growing up; she was about to become a mother, and Brother Yue would soon become a father.

The girl was using Han Yue's arm as a pillow, and he was massaging her waist with one hand. He paused for a moment upon hearing this, and then replied slowly, "I love you too. I'll marry you after you graduate."

As they talked, the little girl fell asleep, while Han Yue woke up, constantly rubbing his lower back with one hand. He genuinely thought that Xi Xi's back was sore.

Even when she was asleep, he was still rubbing her, and he dared not move his arm that was being used as a pillow, for fear of waking her up.
