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

After dinner at night.

Ji Residence.

The old man was extremely anxious. He called Tang Junyao twice, but no one answered. After asking Butler Ji to check, he found out that she was on the long shift today and probably didn't have her phone with her.

He knew that this girl had a habit of being very serious and responsible towards her patients during consultations. She would never carry her phone with her and would always put it on silent in a drawer.

Old Master Ji instructed Butler Ji to get him his blood pressure medication.

A moment later, Butler Ji brought the medicine and a glass of warm water, looking somewhat worried. "Master, please don't be so anxious. Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. You should relax and take good care of your health. It's not necessarily true that the young master has reconciled with Miss Lu Man, as the internet says. These days, reporters are quite idle; they'll seize on any little thing and spread it online to make money off traffic. Don't believe it so easily. If you're really worried, just call the young master and ask what's going on."

Old Master Ji swallowed the medicine, took a sip of water, sighed, and said helplessly, "Alas, this scoundrel will regret it. I'm more worried than the emperor."

Butler Ji chuckled. "You really know how to use metaphors. Young Master is just too sentimental. He takes his promise to Old Master Lu to heart, which is why he indulges Miss Lu Man in every way. But that doesn't necessarily mean he likes her."

"This kid has a good heart, but he's clueless when it comes to relationships. If his girlfriend saw this, wouldn't she divorce him? Humph, even better, I won't help him get off the trending topics. Let him stay there and let his girlfriend see. I'll wait and see how he wins his wife back."

Butler Ji smiled helplessly; the master really did have a childlike heart.

She's angry with the young master.

Around 11 o'clock, she got up to go to the toilet and had just squatted down.

The sound of two girls talking could be heard coming from the sink outside.

"Did you see the news? It turns out that Master Ji has a girlfriend. No wonder he hasn't been interested in women for so many years. He's waiting for his white moonlight. How devoted he is."

"Yeah, yeah, I saw it too. It's trending high right now. This must be at Master Ji's behest. Otherwise, who would dare to post his news?"

"I think so too. It must be to give Miss Lu a proper status."

"Oh, I really envy Miss Lu. She was adopted as a granddaughter by Old Master Lu and also got involved with Master Ji. It's true that different people have different fates. We're just ordinary people, so why didn't we meet a wealthy family who would take us in as goddaughters?"

"Hurry up and wash your hands before going to work. Stop daydreaming; we're not destined for that. Let's get down to business and get to work."

Having listened to the whole thing, Tang Junyao was at a loss for words. She was now caught up in the gossip about her own husband, and she didn't know how to react.

It turns out there really is a white moonlight; the lipstick from that night was just speculation, but now it's confirmed.

Su Xue initially suspected he was gay, but it's perfectly normal for him not to.

After using the restroom and washing my hands, I took a tissue to dry them and was about to take my phone out of my pocket when I realized I hadn't brought it.

Forget it, there's nothing to see here.

After tidying myself up, I stepped back to work and continue my hard work. There's nothing more reassuring than working and earning money.

at that time.

The Koenigsegg stopped in front of the villa in the Royal Garden.

Xu Mingkai glanced nervously at the man in the back seat who was about to get out of the car. "Young Master Ji, there's a deluge of news about you and Miss Lu Man online. Are you going to take it down?"

Silence. For a moment, the carriage was so quiet you could hear someone breathing.

After a long silence, the man parted his thin lips and uttered a few words: "Hanging."

Xu Mingkai thought he had misheard and stammered, "Hanging...hanging."

Young Master Ji, are you kidding me? Aren't you afraid your wife will misunderstand? You're practically jumping on the edge of divorce. Keep jumping like that.

The man said in a deep, cold voice, "Can't understand Chinese anymore? Want to go to South Africa to learn?"

Xu Mingkai hurriedly replied, "I understand, I understand."

Xu Mingkai: What else can you do besides threatening me with South Africa?

Watching Ji Hancheng's retreating figure as he entered the room, Xu Mingkai shook his head helplessly.

Ji Hancheng did not return to his own room, but went to Tang Junyao's room, knowing that she would not be back that night.

The woman's room remained as clean and simple as ever, with a touch of coldness.

Seeing this bed reminded him of that night when he grabbed her waist, wanting more and demanding more. The woman looked at him with her delicate eyes full of tears, begging for mercy. Her soft, slender waist seemed so delicate and soft that he could snap it with a little force. It felt wonderful to the touch.

It was so enchanting that he lingered there, and after it ended, he held her waist and slept soundly.

But this woman is really infuriating. Besides her attractive body, her mouth and thinking are crooked. She actually treats him as a sex worker.

If Ji Hancheng doesn't allow it, who can sleep with him?

Back then, Lu Man wanted to hold his hand but never even touched him. How could she not know? Ji Hancheng became angrier the more he thought about it.

After staying in Tang Junyao's room for a while, he reluctantly returned to his own master bedroom.

The next morning.

After finishing breakfast, Tang Junyao didn't take a shower. She just washed her face and crawled into her bed. The bed wasn't warm in the cold winter, and even the coral fleece duvet cover couldn't warm her body.

The room was unusually warm today, and I didn't feel the slightest bit cold. Without even getting into bed, I drifted off to sleep in no time.

She has always slept very well; once she falls asleep, she sleeps very soundly.

Grandpa used to say that she was like her mother, that her sleep patterns were hereditary. He said that her mother used to be like that too, and once she fell asleep, she would be very deep. Apart from constantly turning over, no matter how noisy it was downstairs, she would not wake up at all and would still sleep quietly.

Genes are a mysterious thing; they are hard to explain.

For example, a child's facial features may resemble the mother's and their personality may resemble the father's. Or, a child's facial features and personality may be completely unlike their parents, which could make their biological parents suspect that the child was adopted.

Tang Junyao woke up groggily at 3 p.m., the sound of pattering rain tapping against the window.

A feeling of irritability arose spontaneously.

What I hate most is rain in the cold winter. It's a real hassle if a heavy coat gets wet. In the summer, even if you're soaked, you can dry off quickly by riding your motorcycle around in the sun.

A notification sound for a text message.

She rubbed her eyes, yawned, slowly sat up, pulled the blanket up, and grabbed her phone to check.

My brows furrowed. I already knew the contents of the message, but seeing it still gave me a jolt and a slight pain in my chest.

She glanced at it briefly, and the gist of the short essay was that Ji Hancheng had a chat history with someone else, in which the other person asked a question, and Ji Hancheng replied that he looked down on her as a scheming woman, unless he was blind.

When he repeatedly said he wasn't interested in her, she knew exactly what he was thinking. But knowing his thoughts was one thing, and seeing him share his thoughts with another person without reservation was quite another.

This is enough to prove how much he finds her annoying.

That's human nature, isn't it? While she was lost in thought, another text message came in, from the same unfamiliar number. She didn't know who this woman was, but she was certain that this person liked Ji Hancheng and her purpose was clear: to make her misunderstand and leave.

The other party invited me to meet in a private room on the second floor of the Sui Xin Cafe to discuss business.

She couldn't help but scoff. It seemed this coffee shop was really popular; both Su Xue's blind date and this negotiation had been held here.

He threw back the covers and opened the curtains. The sight of the rain outside the window only made him more agitated. He wondered if Su Xue was awake yet.

She turned around, walked to the bedside, picked up her phone, and called Su Xue. Surprisingly, the call was answered very quickly. "Hey, get up and come pick me up."

Su Xue was pleased with the timely call. "Okay, I'll be right there. Is it urgent? Okay, okay."

Tang Junyao: Is this person still asleep? Why is she talking to herself? Who is she talking to?

As soon as Su Xue hung up the phone, she said to her mother, "Mom, I can't go to the Lu family to play mahjong with you today. Yao Yao has something urgent to attend to and she's crying over there. Grandpa Tang just passed away, and I can't leave her alone like this."

When Su's mother heard that Tang Junyao was crying, she couldn't help but urge her to go. She hurriedly said, "Hurry up, don't dawdle, find out what happened, and if you need help, then help out. If you can't solve it, ask your brother and comfort him."

After Su Xue left, Su's mother murmured to herself, "This child has really had a hard time, sigh."
