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

The snowflakes fell freely in the wind, some clinging to the treetops, some adorning the car body, and some blending into the ground.

Tang Junyao and Su Xue walked out of the hospital's main entrance.

A chilly wind blew fiercely in her face, and Tang Junyao shrank her neck and pulled her scarf tighter around her neck.

Su Xue didn't expect the temperature to drop so much that night, and it even started snowing. She was dressed in thin clothes, and her teeth were chattering from the cold.

She desperately tried to burrow behind Tang Junyao, saying, "Oh my god, this wind is poisonous! I feel like I'm going to freeze to death this winter!"

Tang Junyao looked disgusted but didn't push her away. "Serves you right for prioritizing style over warmth. You deserve to freeze. Just bear with it."

She turned to Su Xue and said, "Let's go have hot pot. Hot pot goes perfectly with snowy weather."

Su Xue suddenly felt more energetic and less cold. "Okay, should we call my brother?"

Su Xue felt that her brother was actually quite pitiful; he didn't have a girlfriend, worked overtime every day, and had a hard life.

"Okay, go ahead and call. I'll drive over first." When I arrived at noon, the sun was shining brightly, so I didn't park the car in the basement. Now the car is covered in snowflakes, a white mess.

She knocked on Su Xue's car window. "Give me a clean cloth."

"Oh, we haven't used this before. My brother said he'll be here in a bit, so we should go ahead."

"Okay, you drive first, but be careful." Tang Junyao instructed with some concern. Su Xue's driving skills weren't great, and with the snow falling, she was a little worried.

"Okay, I'll go 20 km/h, alright?"

The snow was dry snow, and she wasn't wearing a raincoat. She carefully wiped the car body with a rag, and the car body gleamed from the headlights.

She first arrived at the Renlai Renwang Hot Pot Restaurant next to the hospital.

She found a quiet corner to sit down; she prefers peace and quiet and never sits in the main hall.

After waiting for about half an hour, Su Xue hurriedly ran in.

Tang Junyao teased with a smile, "Big sister, I thought you drove to South Africa."

Su Xue said angrily, "You still dare to talk! The roads are so congested in this snowy weather that even a snail can move faster than a four-wheeled vehicle. Now I know why you don't like four-wheeled vehicles. They're so frustrating!"

After saying that, she prepared to take off her coat. The temperature difference between the hot pot restaurant and the outside world was at least 10 degrees Celsius, so wearing short sleeves at this time would not be unreasonable.

The red marks on her neck were clearly exposed.

Tang Junyao immediately glanced outside, took her scarf, and tossed it to her, whispering, "Wrap the scarf around your neck; that thing around your neck is showing."

These words startled Su Xue, who quickly looked towards the door. Thankfully, her brother hadn't arrived. She took out her phone and looked at the area around her neck, pulling down her high collar. Sure enough, there were scattered red marks. Fortunately, she was wearing a high collar today.

She took out concealer from her bag, squeezed out a little bit, applied it thickly, and then put the scarf back on for safety.

After taking protective measures, he looked up at Tang Junyao's neck and found it completely bare. He couldn't help but feel even more disgusted with Lu Jinnan, who had chewed all over her neck. "Your young master Ji still has any humanity, he didn't touch your neck."

Tang Junyao chuckled inwardly, her hand pausing as she prepared the dishes. "You didn't see the red marks on her chest," she thought, "not a single one was unharmed."

Su Yu arrived shortly afterward.

He was wearing a black down jacket, just like Tang Junyao, and he could see the woman with her head down serving dishes at a glance from the doorway.

He smiled, lifted his leg, and walked over. "Sorry, it's getting a bit late."

Tang Junyao looked up and smiled slightly, "It's okay, we just arrived. We made your favorite shrimp balls, beef slices, and spinach. It's almost ready to eat."

Her gentle smile, like the vastness of the stars and the sea, dispelled Su Yu's fatigue from the day.

The corners of her mouth turned up slightly, forming a beautiful arc, and the dimples on both sides of her cheeks were mesmerizing.

A moment of stunned silence.

Su Xue's eyes were fixed on the boiling pot, sparkling. "Brother, hurry up, I want to eat the beef slices and the fried tofu."

Coming to his senses, Su Yu turned around and saw that his younger sister was wearing a scarf in such a hot space. She looked like she wasn't very smart, so he reached out to pull it off.

Like a possessive mother, Su Xue reacted extremely strongly, hiding in the corner of the sofa, clutching her scarf tightly with both hands. "Brother, what are you doing?"

Su Yu's brow twitched. "What are you doing? What's wrong with you? Wearing such a heavy scarf while eating hot pot, take it off right now."

Tang Junyao ate while trying not to laugh; Su Xue's appearance was just too adorable, and she couldn't help but laugh.

"I'm not hot, I... I'm so cold!"

Su Yu felt that something was wrong with her and wanted to find out why. "Take it down right now, don't mess with her brain."

Su Xue pouted and resisted, clutching the scarf tightly, afraid that her brother would pull it off. "I won't, so what if I wear it? If you're embarrassed, then stay away from me."

Su Yu pretended to hit her head with his chopsticks, but Tang Junyao stopped him. "Brother Su Yu, let her wear it. That scarf was a gift from me. She probably likes it because it's new."

Tang Junyao lied without batting an eye, her mind a complete blank.

Su Yu then pointed at her with his chopsticks, "If you do anything bad, see how I deal with you."

"Cough cough cough cough..." Tang Junyao, who had just taken a sip of her drink, choked nervously at the sudden warning.

Now it was Su Xue's turn to gloat, secretly suppressing a laugh.

Su Yu felt that the two girls were acting mysteriously at night, always exchanging glances, but since they had been like this since they were young, he didn't pay much attention to it.

Midway through the meal, Tang Junyao looked up and said, "Today, the head of my department asked me to go abroad."

Su Yu paused, his chopsticks still in his hand, and calmly asked, "Is this training for reserve personnel?"

Su Xue's surprised voice rose several notches, "You're going abroad? Where are you going? When did this happen? Yao Yao, are you abandoning me?"

Tang Junyao: "........." As expected, she attracted the attention of those around her.

"Can you keep your voice down? It's like I'm cheating on you. Shut up and listen."

"Brother Su Yu, do you also know about this talent reserve program?" To be honest, this was the first time she had heard of such a quota in the two years she had worked in the capital, and that there was an opportunity every year.

Su Yu slowly put down his chopsticks, took a tissue to wipe his mouth, leaned back on the sofa, and gazed at the girl's delicate face. Unconsciously, the girl had grown up and become even more beautiful and charming.

"Yes, I've heard from friends in the industry that the capital wants to develop its own medical team, so it wants to send talent abroad to learn and bring back knowledge and technology. Basically, medical staff who go abroad and come back can be promoted directly. They are either hospital directors or vice directors, or department heads or experts. This is equivalent to working diligently in the hospital for many years, or even a lifetime."

He paused for a moment, then asked, "What do you think? Do you want to go?" He clenched his fist on his lap.

Tang Junyao rested her chin on her hand, looking at Su Xue with a slightly confused expression: "I haven't made up my mind yet. I just want to learn more about it first. I have a week to consider it, so there's no rush."

Su Xue: "Oh, what will I do if you really leave? I'll be all alone. Why don't you get me a spot too, so we can go for further studies together?"

Su Yu glared at her with sharp eyes.
