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

Han Yue was standing on the balcony, smoking heavily. He couldn't believe that the girl could do this right under his nose. He finished one cigarette and started smoking another.

He tried to clear his head and sort out his thoughts. If he weren't trembling while holding the cigarette, he might have been able to convince himself that he was calm.

Looking back at the little girl's state before she left, there were some clues. In the past, she would always stick to him when she left, but this time she didn't. Instead, she said her back hurt.

He never experienced lower back pain before his period, but he trusted the girl too much and didn't suspect anything.

I feel very guilty and annoyed right now; I'm pretty sure this is the case.

He was both excited and heartbroken. He wished he were Sun Wukong so he could fly to the Lan family manor in a single somersault.

After finishing his last cigarette, he found that his mouth had no taste left. Bored, he threw the cigarette pack into the trash can, turned around and left the room, then stood at his mother's door and knocked.

After knocking a few times, the door was opened. Han's mother was a light sleeper and could wake up at the slightest noise. Hearing the knocking, she knew it was her son. She opened the door and said, "What's wrong? Why aren't you sleeping so late? You even have stubble on your chin."

Looking at her slightly tired son, Han's mother frowned and asked, covering her mouth as she yawned.

Perhaps it was the noise at the door, or perhaps it was because Han's mother wasn't sleeping beside him, but Han's father also got up and came out, standing side by side with Han's mother. "Xiaoyue, did you just come back from outside?"

Han Yue's heart was already in Blue City. He didn't answer anyone's questions and didn't want to waste time, so he said directly, "Xiao Xi might be pregnant. I'm planning to go to Blue City. My project might keep you busy for a while."

Han's father was so excited he could hardly contain himself, his jaw dropped in astonishment, and he completely ignored the word "maybe" his son had said.

Unlike Han's mother, who was full of doubt, Han's mother frowned and asked, "Didn't you say you wouldn't let Xixi get pregnant during her university years? Didn't she add an extra year to her studies? What happened?" She didn't get a double degree, or did she not plan to continue her studies?

Han Yue didn't know how to explain the little girl poking a hole in the umbrella. After thinking about it, he decided not to explain and to take the blame himself to save face for the little girl. "Well, it was a mistake."

Han's mother didn't know what to say to her son's simple explanation. She could only criticize him a few times and urge him, "Go quickly. Xixi must be quite nervous since she's just gotten pregnant. Go and keep her company so she feels more secure. Girls tend to overthink when they're alone."

Han Yue thought so too, "Yes, thank you for your hard work."

"What's so hard about it? I wouldn't mind if you stayed there for a whole year." Mr. Han was secretly delighted. He had finally been looking forward to his grandchildren and had already seen the light at the end of the tunnel. However, his daughter-in-law was eager to learn and wanted to get a double degree, which added another year to the graduation time. The title of "Grandpa" had to be put on hold for a year.

He had already calmed down when his daughter-in-law surprised him again by getting pregnant on the spot. What a wonderful daughter-in-law!

Let alone one year, I'd manage it for n years.

After saying goodbye to his parents, Han Yue turned around and went back to his room. He grabbed a few things casually, not intending to waste time organizing them. While stuffing his things in, he took out his phone to call the private jet pilot.

After her son left, Han's mother closed the door with slight worry, while Han's father began to talk incessantly, "Don't worry, you look so worried. Xixi must have thought this through before making this decision. At worst, Xiaoyue can go to university with Xixi. What's done is done."

Despite his happiness, Mr. Han noticed his wife's worry, and she responded with a faint "Mm."

I feel quite guilty. Why didn't Xixi notice anything unusual about the child when they were in the capital?

Beijing Capital International Airport.

The pilot was already waiting for Han Yue with a cup of coffee in his hand, and there were many bodyguards on the plane yawning, obviously having gotten out of bed.

The bodyguards were also carrying coffee, one cup each, their movements synchronized. Han Yue saw this and said, "Sorry, thank you for your hard work."

The bodyguards replied in unison, "It's not hard work."

Han Yue instructed the driver, "Let's go." It was 2:30 a.m., and the sky was dark, with only a few stars in the background.

The next day, Lu's mother rushed to the ward early in the morning with chicken soup. The whole hospital was very quiet, and only a few nurses on duty were walking around on the floor where Lu Jinnan was staying.

Lu Jinnan was still fast asleep on the bed, sleeping comfortably. To keep Lu Jinnan's head from moving around, Su Xue chose to sleep on the cot.

Lu's mother gently pushed open the door, looked around, and found her daughter-in-law sleeping on the cot. She quietly walked into the cot, held her son's head, and examined him from head to toe.

Even if Lu Jinnan was sleeping soundly, he would wake up. When he opened his eyes, he was greeted by his mother's smiling face, which startled him so much that he sat up immediately. Lu's mother was afraid that her son would disturb his wife, so she covered his mouth.

"What are you doing? Sit down and be quiet. Xiaoxue is still asleep," Lu's mother scolded in a low voice.

Seeing how nimble her son was, she guessed that there was nothing seriously wrong. Apart from the bandage on his head, she scanned her son's entire body and found that he was unharmed, so she was relieved.

Lu Jinnan stammered, gesturing for his mother to let go. He was about to speak when his mother reminded him before letting go, "Please be gentle when I let go. Your wife won't know anything about this tomorrow at work."

"Mom, your daughter-in-law has to go to work, and I'm still a patient. What time is it that you've arrived?" As he spoke, Lu Jinnan reached for his phone to check.

Lu's mother stopped him, saying, "Stop looking. It's exactly 6 o'clock in the capital right now. There's only the doctor on duty outside. Get up and have some chicken soup when you wake up."

Looking at his mother, Lu Jinnan was a little doubtful about life. Who was it that had a concussion? Does anyone deliver chicken soup to patients at 6 a.m.? Or was he forced to wake up?

Does drinking this chicken soup make you an immortal or something?

"Mom, is it a tradition passed down from our ancestors to bring me chicken soup at 6 o'clock?" Lu Jinnan irritably touched his face, fully waking up.

"I made a rule. There are two kids in the family. If I don't come early, Xiaochen will wake up soon. You should be grateful. I took time out of my busy schedule to bring you chicken soup. Don't you even think about what time I got up to make it? If you weren't my own child, I wouldn't bother with you."

As Lu's mother continued her rambling, she turned to ladle out chicken soup, but Lu Jinnan stopped her. Knowing that his mother cared about him, he softened his tone, "Mom, you should rest for a while. I don't want to drink it now. I haven't brushed my teeth or washed my face. You brought a thermos, so I'll drink it with Xiaoxue when she wakes up."

Seeing that her son said that, she thought it was a good idea, since the chicken soup wouldn't get cold anytime soon.

I sat down on the edge of the bed and said softly, "You really have a concussion problem. I'll take you to a fortune teller to find out how many more concussions you'll get in your life. If you keep getting these, you'll become stupid even if you're not."

Lu Jinnan's temples were throbbing. "Mom, did you come to see me?"

"What do you think? If you didn't have a concussion, why would I be in this hospital? Do you think I'm just bored?"

Seeing her son remain silent and look helpless, Lu's mother continued, "You've forgotten what your father always told you: to be peaceful and make money. Who did you offend recently that would try to kill you? Your father has been in business his whole life and has never been attacked before."

Lu Jinnan sighed helplessly. If his mother didn't leave soon, it wouldn't be as simple as a mild concussion. "Mom, I know. I'll be more careful in the future. Yueyue and Xiaochen are still at home. They'll be awake by the time you get back. Thank you for your hard work. You can go home now."

"Alright, I'm leaving now. Don't forget to give Xiaoxue chicken soup when she wakes up later. I've been simmering it for a long time," Lu's mother instructed.

"Okay, okay, I've got it."

Lu Jinnan couldn't fall back asleep, so he picked up his phone and played King of Glory, playing game after game, only to lose repeatedly and drop to Bronze rank. Finally, in a fit of anger, he threw his phone on his pillow.

My neck is a little sore from looking up at my phone.

Su Xue slowly woke up on the cot, not getting up immediately, trying to wake herself up. "Why are you awake so early? Xiao Nan, what do you want for breakfast? I'll go buy it for you."

"Honey, no need to buy any more. Mom already brought it over; it's on the table."

Su Xue got up, looking for breakfast and her mother-in-law. "Mom brought it over. Why didn't you call me earlier?"

Lu Jinnan: "It's 6 o'clock. No need to look anymore, Mom has already left."

"So early?" The mother must be very tired, having to leave home around 5 a.m. "I need to tell her that she doesn't need to take me tomorrow, it's too tiring for her."

Su Xue thought that breakfast was delivered at six o'clock, and it was almost seven o'clock now, so she got up to wash up.

Looking at the breakfast spread on the table, Su Xue placed it on Lu Jinnan's table and asked, "Are you feeling dizzy or nauseous today?"

"No, everything's fine. How about my wife is discharged this afternoon?" Lu Jinnan looked up and asked for permission. While he was in the hospital, the whole family was busy with him. Xiaoxue had to stay with him at the hospital, and even his own mother, though stubborn, would run back and forth.

"No, stay a few more days until your dizziness subsides and you're sure you're alright. Otherwise, what if you just fall asleep and suddenly pass out?"

Lu Jinnan: "Grandma, what are you thinking? I just have a mild concussion, not terminal cancer."

The couple spent the whole morning talking about terminal illnesses and death, a topic that was really devoid of any substance. In the end, Su Xue felt it was an ominous sign and changed the subject, saying, "Xiao Nan, you should still have bodyguards with you every day from now on, for the sake of our happy life and safety."

The ward fell silent in an instant. Fear flickered in the eyes of the usually carefree Su Xue. Lu Jinnan noticed it and, recalling how she had cried yesterday, put away his nonchalant attitude and solemnly assured her, "Don't worry, this won't happen again. Eat quickly, then go to work."

"Hmm." Su Xue replied listlessly. Lu Jinnan couldn't stand seeing this woman so sad; he preferred to see his auntie being unreliable.

He put down his chopsticks, reached out and kissed Su Xue on the back of the head, giving her no chance to react. All her distracting thoughts and unpleasant feelings were dispelled by this long, sweet kiss in the early morning.

"Damn, playing this big game so early in the morning." The door was opened and then closed again.

The two kissed passionately until they finally parted. Lu Jinnan saw a blush on Su Xue's face and smiled mischievously with satisfaction. "Don't worry, your husband can give you this kind of happiness for a lifetime."
