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

The next morning, Lan Yunxi waited for Tong Xuxu at the school gate. Tong Xuxu hurriedly rode his little donkey into the school gate, wearing a black short-sleeved shirt and loose blue jeans, looking like a tomboy.

She was dressed even more masculinely than Han Yue. Han Yue took the initiative to greet her and nodded. He never took the initiative to speak to girls other than Xi Xi.

Tong Xuxu followed the couple on one side of the road, using his feet to slide along at the same speed as them, moving at a snail's pace. "Why did you come so early? Today is just for registration, no classes, so you can sleep for five more minutes. I live too far away and I'm in a hurry."

"Do you live in a very remote area? How long will it take?"

Tong Xuxu calculated, "It would take about 40 minutes by electric scooter, which is not bad." The main reason is that the houses there are cheaper.

"It's so far."

"It's not far, isn't this a good place to lose weight? Dude, should I go with Xixi to register first, or do you want to come with her?" Tong Xuxu noticed that there was a girl with a ponytail standing straight behind Xixi, looking very cool.

Han Yue: "I'll do it."

"OK, I'll be going now, see you later." With that, Tong Xuxu twisted the accelerator and headed towards the teaching building.

Han Yue accompanied the girl to register and fill out the relevant information. The bodyguard accompanied her to the restroom, taking turns to protect her and staying by her side at all times. For her safety, Lan Yunxi did not refuse and thought it was quite good.

Around noon.

Inside the library, a handsome man was sitting with a cute girl, reading a book. He would occasionally massage the girl's waist, and his thoughtful actions attracted the attention of many students around them.

The man, seemingly oblivious to the intense stares around him, lowered his voice and asked, "Does your back hurt?"

The girl shook her head. "It's not sour. Do you want to read a book?"

The sound was very soft, only two people could hear it, just like a primary school student daydreaming in class.

Han Yue gently massaged her lower back with one hand, trying to relieve her fatigue. "I don't want to look." Just looking at her is enough; why bother reading?

Suddenly, Han Yue's phone in his pocket started vibrating incessantly, as if it had malfunctioned. The phone was probably almost out of battery from all the vibrations, and his legs were numb. Han Yue cursed inwardly, "What a useless person!"

I freed one hand to check my phone and saw that it was from Lu Jinnan. He'd probably recovered from his concussion and was just bored, sending one message after another.

Lu Jinnan: Xiao Yueyue, you've been over there for half a month. When are you coming back to prepare for the wedding? Didn't Brother Cheng say that you two would be having the wedding in two months?

Lu Jinnan: Are you planning a bare-bones wedding? Are you not even going to come back to prepare? You can bring your little princess to the capital. A day apart feels like three autumns. I miss you so much.

Lu Jinnan: Is your little princess a twin or a singleton?

Lu Jinnan: Is your wedding Chinese or Western style?

Lu Jinnan: What's the exact date of the wedding?

After reading all the messages, Han Yue really wanted to reach through the phone and beat the guy up. He sighed inwardly and replied: Are you sure your concussion has been treated? Why don't you have your wife's best friend get another brain CT scan?

Han Yue: I'll pay for it.

Lu Jinnan: Get lost! It's not wrong for me to miss you. You're only fit to be alone.

Han Yue: You can forget about my existence for now. I thank your whole family.

Lu Jinnan: ".............." Actually, he was really bored because Su Xue was afraid he would have aftereffects, so she didn't let him go to work and kept him at home every day. He was practically growing hair on his body.

Han Yue ignored Lu Jinnan's incessant rambling and immediately switched to Do Not Disturb mode.

No matter how crazy Lu Jinnan went on, it wouldn't bother him.

As they left the library, Han Yue held Lan Yunxi's hand, while Tong Xuxu stood on the other side, followed by bodyguards.

"XiXi, I'm not going to have lunch with you guys. I'm going to be late. I have a part-time job starting this afternoon. Bye-bye, buddy. Take care of our XiXi."

After saying that, Tong Xuxu stepped down the stairs, heading towards the parking lot. Han Yue had a pretty good impression of this boyish Tong Xuxu. "Goodbye, buddy, thanks."

Lan Yunxi had already told Han Yue that Tong Xuxu had also helped her come to her senses, and she had relayed what Tong Xuxu had told her to Han Yue, for which Han Yue was quite grateful.

Tong Xuxu didn't know what Han Yuexie meant, so she made a fist-and-palm gesture and replied, "You're too kind, you're too kind."

The two walked hand in hand, their fingers intertwined, along the path of Blue City University. Even on the path, there were students coming and going.

"Xixi, is that your boyfriend?" a girl from the same department asked with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Lan Yunxi raised their clasped hands in the air, smiling brightly, "He's not my boyfriend, he's my husband, I'm married."

Not only was the girl who asked the question taken aback, but even Han Yue, who was standing next to her, was stunned for a moment before he smiled slightly and let out a soft laugh. After a while, the girl came to her senses, offered a few blessings, and then left.

It's not uncommon for girls to get married while pursuing their master's degrees in college, but few are as open about it as Lan Yunxi. Most are secretly married and live together off-campus.

After the girl left, Lan Yunxi smiled again, her smile as beautiful as the stars. In her heart, she was actually thinking, when will her husband be able to call her wife?

It shouldn't be too long.

Honey, haha, that's great.

Han Yue also quite likes it when young girls call him "husband." After all, anyone can call him "Brother Yue." Sometimes Lu Jinnan will call him that when he's feeling silly. Ji Hancheng will call him "Yuezi," and Sister Lu and the others will call him "Xiao Yue." As for Han Guoguo, who knows what she'll call her? But "husband" is definitely a unique term.

What he likes.

Evening, at the Lan Family Manor.

After the person in bed fell asleep, the man quietly got up, took a sticky note, wrote a line of words on it in a flamboyant style, stuck it on his pillow, and left.

In the middle of the night, Lan Yunxi was awakened by the urge to urinate. Instinctively, she snuggled closer to the person next to her and found that the toilet was cold. She opened her eyes with a whoosh, and in the darkness, her bright eyes shone like luminous pearls.

I turned on the light in disbelief and found that the room was indeed empty except for an orange sticky note with a simple sentence: "Xiao Xi, I'm going out for a bit, I'll be right back, don't wait for me, staying up late is bad for the child."

The note didn't say where she went or when she would be back. Holding the orange sticky note, she was confused. After a few minutes, the urge to urinate became obvious.

She quickly went to the restroom, thinking about where Han Yue had gone the whole time, but she didn't call to urge him or ask where he was doing.

Remembering the words on the back of the paper, Lan Yunxi, for the sake of her child, managed to drift back to sleep. It wasn't until after 9 a.m. that Han Yue came in, looking travel-worn.

Looking at her exhausted son-in-law, Shen Muyun said with concern and heartache, "Xiaoyue, why don't you wait until things are settled over there before coming over? It's not good for your health to keep going back and forth like this."

Despite his exhaustion, Han Yue forced his eyes open and replied, "It's nothing, I'll be fine in a few days at most. Mom, I'm going upstairs now."

Shen Muyun frowned. This child was stubborn. Seeing that he wouldn't agree, she could only urge him, "Go and get some sleep."

Han Yue responded faintly, clearly unable to hold on any longer, "Mm."

Although he was very sleepy, so sleepy that his eyelids were practically drooping to the ground, Han Yue still insisted on taking a shower and throwing his clothes into the basket.

As soon as he got into bed, Lan Yunxi instinctively leaned closer, "You're back."

Han Yue hugged her and replied, "Okay, go to sleep."

"Um."

After that, every few nights when she woke up to go to the bathroom, Han Yue was not by her side. Once or twice was fine, but after it happened a lot, Lan Yunxi felt that something was wrong. She initially thought he had gone out or was hiding somewhere working overtime.

That evening, Han Yue was not home as usual. She got up alone, put on a light coat, quietly opened the door, and turned on all the wall lights. She was pregnant now and couldn't be in the dark; it wouldn't be good if something went wrong, especially with two babies in her belly.

It was pitch black downstairs, so Han Yue was obviously not downstairs. Pushing open the door to the study, it was also pitch black inside, which puzzled Lan Yunxi. Where did he go?

He stood at the door for a while, his handsome brows furrowed, staring at one spot for a long time. Then he turned around, went back to his room, turned on the light, took out his phone, and saw that it was 3:30 a.m.

Is her brother Yue at the construction site carrying bricks? He's not here at this hour.

After thinking about it, I realized something was very wrong, so I dialed the number anyway. All I heard was a female voice from an automated machine saying, "The number you have dialed is temporarily unavailable."

Lan Yunxi: ".............." Instantly lost all sleepiness, her heart began to panic.

Time passed slowly, and Lan Yunxi grew sleepy. She lay sprawled on the blanket and drifted off to sleep again. In her dream, she heard someone calling her, "Xiaoxi, cover yourself with the blanket. Why are you sleeping outside?"

Then someone hugged her. With something on her mind, she opened her eyes instantly, startling Han Yue. "Did I wake you up?"

She wrapped her arms around his neck, and he held her carefully. Her voice was soft and sweet, still hoarse from sleep, "Where did you go?"

Han Yue was stunned for a moment, but quickly recovered and placed her to one side, helped cover her with the blanket, and then lay down himself. She was still asking him questions from under the covers.

Seeing that she was persistent and seemed determined not to go to sleep until he got to the bottom of it, Han Yue reluctantly gave in, letting out a few simple words: "The capital."

The last vestige of sleepiness vanished, and the volume of the voice was so loud it could scare the baby in her belly. "The capital?" she exclaimed in disbelief, staring at the exhausted person before her.

Her heart ached with heartache. It took her a long while to regain her composure. Lately, she'd been completely immersed in Han Yue's doting affection, her brain had gone haywire. Accompanying him to classes, accompanying him to sleep, her IQ had plummeted. Now, considering her previous disappearances, Lan Yunxi guessed, "Did you go back to the capital after I fell asleep at night and then come back to Lan City in the early morning?"

Upon hearing this, Lan Yunxi's eyes shone, her throat tightened, and her eyes stung with tears.

Seeing her emotional turmoil, Han Yue panicked and hurriedly tried to comfort and explain, "Don't cry, I just went to see how Sister Lu's preparations are going. If you don't like them, I won't go back."

He gently pulled her head into his arms, patting her back softly, and said, "I'm sorry."

He was just going to check on how the wedding preparations were going, to see if there was anything else to add, and to keep an eye on the surprise for the young girl, in case the workers made a mistake.

If I don't come back, I'm afraid the little girl will be scared and feel insecure.

Lan Yunxi now realized she was wrong. Her nervousness had created a huge workload for Han Yue, making him travel back and forth between the capital and Lan City. It wasn't just an hour's journey. She felt sorry for him.

How could this person be so stupid?

In the end, she was still being immature. She sniffed and said, "Honey, you can rest for a few days and then go back to the capital. Don't worry, I'm not scared anymore. I'm really not scared anymore. You see, I haven't been overthinking anything lately."

She shook her head frantically, trying to explain that she was really not scared anymore. As she shook her head, a tear fell from the corner of her eye and landed on the back of Han Yue's hand.

A slight chill ran through him. Han Yue glanced down at the back of his hand, then looked up at the little girl, staring blankly at her. He raised his hand and tenderly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, his lips pressed tightly together.

Lan Yunxi stepped out of Han Yue's embrace, then looked at him with a reassuring gaze. Seeing Han Yue's lips part, she spoke first, "I know what you want to say. You want to say it's because you're here. Actually, I've figured it out now. I'm carrying two children, and I'll take good care of myself. I won't overthink things. You can go back to the capital in a few days without worry. If I'm bored, I'll bring Xuxu to the manor to live with me. Of course, I won't let her sleep in this bed. This place is still yours."

As she spoke, she patted the bed.

"I'm very safe at school with Xuxu and the bodyguards my brother assigned me. I'm even protected on both sides when I go to the bathroom, okay? Aren't you going to prepare for my wedding? I won't feel at ease if you don't keep an eye on me." The girl started to whine when she saw him standing there speechless.

She can't be so inconsiderate, letting Han Yue run back and forth like this. If this continues, her health will collapse before the wedding even arrives.

The little girl persisted, as if she would get angry if he didn't agree. Helpless, Han Yue couldn't resist her cuteness and finally agreed, "Okay, then stay a few more days and go back in a few days."

Seeing that Han Yue agreed, Lan Yunxi felt relieved and smiled, "Okay, go to sleep now, you can hold me while you sleep."

Han Yue gently pulled her down to lie down, his movements tender. "Mmm."
