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

Ji Jiale lay on his side, wearing dark blue pajamas, watching the woman's retreating figure with a hint of anxiety, yet he inexplicably found her adorable.

A short while later, Lu Yiyue came out. She had already composed herself while in the bathroom, trying her best to appear natural before pulling back the covers and lying down.

Seeing that she was lying down, he still didn't lie down or crawl into bed. He just stared at her blankly, as if she would disappear in the blink of an eye if he didn't look at her.

Her heart pounded under his direct gaze. "What are you doing?"

Ji Jiale replied naturally, "It's up to you."

Lu Yiyue: ".............." There's no need to be so direct.

She had just taken a nap and had urinated, so she was now fully awake.

Seeing that he was still looking at her with eyes full of affection, Lu Yiyue turned over under the covers to face him and began to look at him defiantly.

After staring at each other for an unknown amount of time, facing her burning gaze and the provocative smile that always lingered on her lips, Ji Jiale finally lost.

He turned around and turned off the light on his side. The curtains weren't fully drawn, and the silvery light from outside seeped through the gaps in the window and onto the bed.

The light flickered, illuminating their faces.

The lights went out, and under the covers, Lu Yiyue's fingers nervously twisted together, her heart pounding like a deer's.

Ji Jiale rolled over, threw off the covers, and crawled inside, hugging Lu Yiyue tightly, burying his head in her neck and nuzzling her.

The tingling sensation sent a shiver down Lu Yiyue's spine. She instinctively pushed against his firm chest, her voice soft and tinged with shyness, "No..."

As she spoke, she reached out and touched her itchy neck, but the sensation from Ji Jiale's touch seemed to linger, remaining on her neck, and the blush on her cheeks began to spread.

In the dim light, she looked at him, and he stared at her, his eyes filled with undisguised desire and possessiveness.

Lu Yiyue raised her hand and began to stroke his handsome features, from the inner corner of his eyebrow to the outer corner, and then from the outer corner to his eyelid, continuously drawing this face that was so beautiful it made people fantasize, preparing to engrave it into the deepest part of her heart.

Her fingers were slender, and she drew with gentleness. Each touch felt like a different kind of teasing, like a white feather tickling the sole of her foot.

As she tried to describe it again, the kiss landed as expected. In that instant, she smiled and instinctively wrapped her arms around his neck… breathing in each other's breath…

She didn't know when her nightgown was ruthlessly thrown on the floor, and the next second, a dark blue nightgown was folded on top of the white nightgown.

At this moment, Lu Yiyue's cheeks were like a drop of red ink on rice paper, the red ink spreading wildly to present the most beautiful picture.

Time passed second by second, and Lu Yiyue gradually became dazed, as if she had lost her way in a forest surrounded by clouds and mist. A familiar voice pulled her back to her senses. The voice was deep and hoarse, and the scarlet eyes were staring at her.

She was like a rabbit that had willingly walked into a trap.

"Yueyue, is it okay? If............."

These words made Lu Yiyue laugh in exasperation. After all that trouble, asking "Is it okay?" at the end really showed some respect.

This is just like visiting someone's house to offer New Year's greetings during the Spring Festival, bringing gifts and asking the host if you can come in to pay your respects.

Lu Yiyue didn't discourage him. Instead, she raised her smooth arm and stroked his cheek. Her palm was very warm, so warm that it seemed to raise his body temperature by several degrees. She said softly, "What do you think?"

Upon hearing this, the kiss landed again. To prevent Lu Yiyue from being embarrassed by hearing his voice, Ji Jiale carefully played a popular song on his phone, turning the volume down to 50 to mask the unique music created by Yueyue.

The scenery at dawn is also beautiful, but it pales in comparison to the indoor scenery.

One popular song after another plays on a loop indoors, and your heart will unconsciously follow the rhythm of the music, causing your own music to go out of control and crack.

"It'll be fine in a bit. If you feel uncomfortable, just pinch me..."

Lu Yiyue had gradually lost herself; music filled her ears, but other feelings were becoming more acute. She nodded dazedly, indeed fulfilling Ji Jiale's wish...

As the fish belly began to lighten, the indoor scenery was illuminated. The image of couples, exhausted from over-training, falling asleep in each other's arms formed a stark contrast to the noise outside. Both types of music had stopped, leaving only tranquility.

The man buried his head in the woman's neck like a child, his hands dangling from under the covers over her slender waist. Even in their sleep, both of them had smiles on their lips.

Around 8 o'clock.

In another room, Lu Qingchen and Su Bi were sleeping comfortably when the phone rang incessantly. Lu Qingchen groggily reached out and turned off the screen, and the call was disconnected.

A moment later, the phone rang again. Su Bi, who was sleeping next to her brother, nudged his arm. "Brother, the phone."

If we don't answer, no one can continue sleeping; we're too tired, and it's too noisy.

Lu Qingchen was not sober; her mind was in a daze. She had drunk too much last night, competing with Ji Xinyu in drinking. It was rare that Brother Le didn't stop them from the contest. Her head was still throbbing.

He lay there, fumbling for his phone, then held it to his ear without opening his eyes the entire time, replying in a weak, lifeless voice, "Hello, who is it?"

The person on the other end of the phone was clearly dissatisfied with his answer, speaking in an unfriendly tone, "I'm your father."

Lu Qingchen really wanted to sleep and was too lazy to answer. Out of politeness, he said, "I'm talking to myself. Why are you so loud? I'm not deaf."

The person on the other end of the phone was impatient; you could tell from their voice that the child was still asleep. I couldn't be bothered arguing with them. "Where's your sister?"

Lu Qingchen was already on the verge of sleep, and casually replied, "Sleeping." She stretched her leg and realized she'd kicked it, but before the person on the other end of the phone could ask, she continued, "She's sleeping next to me. It's okay, let's go back to sleep."

Clearly, the other side didn't quite believe it. After all, the two siblings hadn't slept together much since they grew up—practically none at all. You could practically hear the doubt in their voices even through the screen. "You share a room with your sister?"

At that moment, Lu Qingchen just wanted to sleep and didn't pay any attention to the tone of the other person's voice. In a hurry to hang up, he replied perfunctorily, "Yeah, you're so annoying. We're going to sleep."

After his son repeatedly confirmed it, Lu Jinnan hung up the phone with some skepticism, too lazy to continue arguing with his son.

Both Su Bi and Lu Qingchen had completely forgotten about the phone call they had just answered and had fallen asleep again. Lu Qingchen's head was throbbing and all she wanted to do was sleep, while Su Bi had only slept for a little over three hours last night, having watched Han Yichen and Su Can play games until 4:30 in the morning. She was also very tired.

After the game ended, Han Yichen and Su Can went back to their room to sleep.

Meanwhile, abroad.

In the huge hotel restaurant, six people sat at one table. Apart from Ji Hancheng and Tang Junyao, the first thing the others did after getting up was to call home to inquire about their children's condition.

Han Guoguo took the breakfast Su Yu handed her and sweetly said, "My husband, you've worked hard, mwah."

Ji Hancheng, Tang Junyao: "............."

Su Xue and Lu Jinnan were already used to Han Guoguo's antics. Seeing Lu Jinnan hang up the phone, Ji Hancheng teased, "I still suggest you don't come out next year. Or you can just hide Yueyue in your pocket."

After saying that, Lu Jinnan rolled his eyes at Ji Hancheng. This time, Su Xue did not scold Lu Jinnan. For Su Xue, having lost such an excellent son-in-law as Ji Jiale, she really needed to keep a closer eye on her daughter if she were to find another boyfriend.

"Sigh, Lele has already found a girlfriend, so Yueyue will definitely have to look very carefully when she looks for a boyfriend. Sigh."

One sigh after another made it seem like no one was there to have fun, but rather like someone in the room had a terminal illness.

Tang Junyao lowered her head guiltily, unable to bear seeing her best friend looking half-dead. Others might not know how much Xiaoxue liked Lele, but she would always think of Lele when something was good, and would always talk about Lele this and Lele that. "Anything is possible, let's eat."

Upon hearing this, Su Xue's eyes lit up. "You mean, is there still a chance for Lele and Yueyue?"

"I didn't say that. I just said anything is possible. Maybe Yueyue's boyfriend is the one you like."

Lu Jinnan: "Our Yueyue is still young and there's no rush for her to get married. Grandma, please don't always try to push our Yueyue away."

Su Yu didn't intend to interrupt this topic. He quietly served Guo Guo her breakfast. After all, they were four sons and couldn't understand the anxiety and panic of someone about to lose their daughter, like Lu Jinnan.

So it's better to keep quiet.

Han Guoguo was in a good mood, not only was she able to go out and have fun, but Cancan also got into university.

Ji Hancheng glanced meaningfully at Lu Jinnan, who was eating quietly, and thought to himself, "Keeping such a close eye on him, he might become a grandfather next year. Humph."

When Su Yu looked up, he saw Ji Hancheng's calculating eyes. He stared at Ji Hancheng for a few seconds, deep in thought, looking for clues, but after a while he still couldn't figure out what Ji Hancheng was plotting.

Ji Hancheng is a man whose thoughts are often unpredictable. You might find yourself caught off guard and tricked before you even realize it.

Just as Su Yu was about to look away, his eyes met Ji Hancheng's. For the first time ever, Ji Hancheng was in a good mood and gave Su Yu a faint smile.

Tang Junyao naturally knew what the man was smug about, and sighed inwardly.

Su Yu was completely baffled by that look: "..........."
