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

Chapter 703 Don't worry, he's not as good at inflating himself as a pufferfish.

Evening, at the Han family villa.

Han Yue sat on the sofa with his legs slightly apart, one hand on Xiao Xi's waist and the other casually dangling on his leg. Lan Yunxi was helping to treat the injury on her face, while Han Yinuo stood beside her mother, helping out. Her eyes were filled with tears, and she was so heartbroken that she was about to cry.

Her gaze was fixed on her father's dark, bluish-black eyes, making him look like a panda. He pursed his handsome lips, said nothing, and frowned.

Lan Yunxi, who was capable of handling things independently at the company, had already anticipated this day, it was just a little early. She remained calm, just like Sister Lu. Afraid that Han Yue would be in pain, she gently blew on his eyes while treating his wound. The breeze was like a feather brushing past, making Han Yue feel a tingling sensation.

Lan Yunxi bent down slightly, leaned closer, and spoke softly, her hands moving very gently, "Bear with it, it might hurt a little."

Han Yue was quite resilient; this little pain was nothing to him. Back when he broke his hand in a fight, he didn't even utter a sound. "It's okay, it doesn't hurt."

Afraid of worrying his daughter, he turned to her and said, "Daddy is really fine, I'll be alright in a few days."

Han Yichen, sitting alone in the distance, seemed like a stranger, leisurely peeling an orange, stuffing segments into his mouth one by one, a smile playing on his lips.

Han Yue had already noticed these subtle attempts to conceal their true intentions, and even Han's mother, who was standing nearby, saw them. Afraid that her grandson would be scolded, she took the oranges from Han Yichen's hand, saying, "That's enough. You've eaten four already. If you eat any more, you'll get a sore throat. Go upstairs and do your homework."

Han Yichen was about to say he would have another one when he saw his father looking so downcast, like the sun rising in the west. He looked up and met his father's cold gaze.

As expected, the power to exude chill doesn't depend on whether one's eyes are black or not. Even as a second-generation panda, he's still quite intimidating. Feeling the naked intimidation, Han Yichen's back stiffened, and his buttocks felt a little itchy. He quickly stood up and said, "Dad, I'm going to do my homework."

Han's father, sensing the undercurrent between the two, quickly chimed in, "Go ahead, and write it carefully."

Han's mother glared at Han's father, who shrugged and smiled ingratiatingly.

When Han Yichen reached the third step, Han Yue coldly reminded him, "Your monthly exam results last month weren't very good. You're still a long way from your 650. I'm not going to give you a somersault cloud to help you get over there."

"Cough cough cough..." Upon hearing this, Han Yichen choked on his father's sharp words, his saliva stuck in his throat and he couldn't swallow it. He replied helplessly, "I know."

Han Yue could tell from his son's back that the brat wanted to pull out his oxygen tube.

After treating her injuries, Lan Yunxi asked, "Has Brother-in-law Lu calmed down?"

"Don't worry, he's not as good at inflating himself as a pufferfish."

Han's mother glanced at the injury on her son's face and gently reminded him, "Don't let it happen again after the first time. It's easy to hurt feelings."

"Neither Jin Nan nor Han Cheng are planning for a third child, so there won't be a second one." Han Yue slumped onto the sofa, shifted his shoulders, and said seriously.

The Han family, Lan Yunxi, and Han Yinuo: "......."

Han Yinuo sat to her father's left, and Lan Yunxi sat to Han Yue's right.

Seeing everyone staring at him, Han Yue crossed his legs, looking quite dashing, as long as he didn't look at that eye. He changed the subject, asking his father, "Did you deal with the sanitary napkins?"

Han's father responded, "Yes, I've already had Xiaoshuai and Xiaofei distribute them."

Lan Yunxi went to work today. When she left, the 10 boxes of sanitary napkins were still in the yard. When she came back, she started treating her wounds and forgot to ask, "Did you sell them?"

Han Yinuo didn't know what her parents were talking about. When Ji Jiale brought the things over in the morning, she and Han Yichen had already gone to school. When they came back, the sanitary napkins had already been sold.

However, children are not allowed to interrupt when their parents are discussing issues. Han Yinuo has always done well in this regard, as has the case at her maternal grandparents' house, so she simply listens quietly.

Han's mother didn't even bother to explain how to handle it. She shook her head, got up, and walked towards the kitchen to pour herself a glass of water.

Han's father was a little embarrassed to say it, so Han Yue had to say it. Lan Yunxi was also looking at Han Yue, waiting for his answer. He smiled slightly, perhaps thinking that his way of handling things was rather unconventional. He patted the head of his daughter, who was staring at him, and said, "I sent it to the bodyguards."

"They were given to the bodyguards, but they don't need them."

Upon hearing this, Lan Yunxi reflexively raised her voice: How are bodyguards supposed to use this?

Noticing the surprise on Xiao Xi's face, Han Yue smiled and answered seriously, as if it were routine, "I told Xiao Shuai and Xiao Fei that those with girlfriends should take more, and those without girlfriends should take less."

Seeing his daughter's bewildered expression, Han Yue explained, affectionately tidying her ponytail, "Your brother brought sanitary napkins this morning, and Dad gave them to the bodyguard."

Han Yinuo: "............"

After listening, Lan Yunxi knew that this was Yue Ge's usual practice. In the past, when he delivered milk tea or fruit to the bodyguards, Yue Ge would also say to drink as much as you could and eat as much as you could. But sanitary napkins were different. It wouldn't be good to do it this way. "Yue Ge, isn't this a bit inappropriate?"

Han Yue thought it was alright, and his father agreed, "It's great. This can also enhance the relationship between couples. It shows that the boy is thoughtful, and he might even get praise from his girlfriend if he takes the things back."

Lan Yunxi: What about those who don't have girlfriends? Are they keeping them for themselves?

Han Yinuo neither commented nor interrupted. Her father had his own way of handling things, which was beyond the understanding of a child like her. She just needed to focus on her studies.

Ji Jiale returned at 2 a.m. He was already quite busy, and now that his father said he needed to take a break for a few days, he was even busier.

As soon as he pushed open the bedroom door, the study door opened as well. Ji Hancheng had been forced to go home and take a nap by Yao Yao that afternoon, and now he couldn't sleep. As a side effect, his eyes and the corners of his mouth hurt. He could only wait until Yao Yao fell asleep before coming to the study to help his son with some of the work.

Hearing a sound behind him, Ji Jiale slowly turned his head. When he saw his father walking towards him, Ji Jiale's expression changed. In just a few seconds, he knew how his father had gotten injured.

As Ji Hancheng approached, Ji Jiale, after a moment of silence, uttered three words with mixed emotions, "Dad, thank you."

Upon hearing this, Ji Hancheng stopped in his tracks and stood in front of his son. The two were the same height, only differing in age, and had similar temperaments. "I am your father. If I don't help you today, I'm afraid even my grandfather will wake me up and move me to another place when I'm in my coffin."

Seeing the guilt in his son's eyes, Ji Hancheng patted his son's shoulder and said in a relaxed tone, "What's with the pretense? There are no pretentious men in the Ji family. Hanhan and Xiaoyu are not as pretentious as you. Alright, go to sleep."

Ji Jiale stood still, her gaze fixed on Ji Hancheng's face. "Dad, let me apply the medicine again for you. There's blood at the corner of your mouth."

Ji Hancheng initially wanted to refuse, but seeing in his son's eyes that he wanted to do something for him, he finally agreed, appearing very casual, "Alright, I can't sleep anyway, let's go to the study."

"Hmm." The father and son, one after the other, with Ji Hancheng in front and Ji Jiale behind, re-entered the study.

Inside the study.

Ji Hancheng sat in the seat where the old man had been sitting. Ji Jiale found a first-aid kit and treated his wounds. She held cotton swabs in her hand and treated them very carefully and gently. Just after she finished treating his eyes, Ji Hancheng said, "Men don't need to be so gentle to men. From now on, you only need to be gentle to Yueyue, your grandma, your mother, and your sister."

As Ji Jiale spoke, he increased the pressure. Ji Hancheng's lips twitched as the cotton swab was applied. He looked up and stared straight ahead, as if nothing was wrong, as if he had only increased the pressure because he was listening to Ji Jiale.

Unable to say anything even though he wanted to, Ji Hancheng finally smiled silently, cursing the brat in his heart.

It was rare for the father and son to be together, and the atmosphere was quite pleasant. Ji Hancheng thought it would be good to say a few more words, "It's normal for your godfather to be angry. Just go along with him. Yueyue is a good girl, so treat her well."

"Okay, I know, all done." After the wound was treated again, Ji Jiale threw the cotton swab into the trash can, bent down to pack up the first-aid kit, and put it back in its original place.

Ji Hancheng raised his hand and gently touched the wound that his son had helped treat with his fingertips, and said in a deep voice, "You lead the meeting, and I'll handle some emails for you."

"Okay, sure."

The next morning, at the Lu family residence.

Lu Yiyue got up early and sat in the restaurant to eat breakfast, only to find that her usually hardworking mother hadn't gotten up yet.

Looking around, then walking down the stairs, the energetic father asked, "Dad, did Mom oversleep? It's already 7:30. If she doesn't get up soon, she might be late."

Lu Jinnan, wearing a gray suit made by his daughter, fastened his cufflinks with one hand and walked slowly, as if he were injured. He casually asked, "Did your mother take the day off today?"

"Oh, are you sick? I'll go see her." As she spoke, Lu Yiyue prepared to go upstairs to see her mother, but she was pulled back by her father after only taking one step, and they went back down the stairs.

Lu Yiyue looked up at her father in confusion, wanting to ask what was wrong. Lu Jinnan coughed and said, "Your mother stayed up too late watching dramas last night, until 4:30 in the morning. I only found out when I went to the bathroom, and now she can't get up."

"Huh?.............." How could this be so unreliable? Given that there had been similar situations before, the entire Lu family did not question Lu Jinnan's words.

In the end, they all went to a restaurant for dinner.

Madam Lu was meticulous and instructed the servants, "Xiaoxue is sleeping, so please keep your voices down today and don't disturb her nap."

The maid replied respectfully, "Yes, madam."

Mr. Lu had already finished his breakfast and was sitting on the sofa reading the newspaper. Seeing that his granddaughter and son had come downstairs, he put away the newspaper, stood up, and said, "Yueyue, Grandpa is going to the company now."

Lu Yiyue, who was already seated in the restaurant, immediately replied, "Okay, Grandpa, drive carefully."

Every day before leaving, Mr. Lu would tell his granddaughter, "Hey, eat your breakfast and go to the company. You have a meeting this morning, don't be late."

These words were spoken to Lu Jinnan. The Lu family already knew about their granddaughter and Lele. Like Xiaoxue, Lu's mother liked Lele very much and felt at ease with her granddaughter being with Lele, as the two had grown up together since childhood.

In addition, they knew each other well, and Yueyue wouldn't suffer if she married into the family, nor would there be any scandals or troubles in a wealthy family. The two little princesses of the Ji family were also very polite and easy to get along with. After careful consideration, Lu's mother felt that it was a good match.

Unlike his father, Mr. Lu did not interfere in his children's marriages. He believed in the freedom of love and thought that as long as his granddaughter and grandson felt they had found true love and were happy, it didn't matter whether they were rich or poor.

"Okay, I understand," Lu Jinnan replied casually as he peeled eggs for his daughter.

"Eat quickly. After you finish eating, will Dad take you to work, or will you drive yourself?"

"Dad, I'm fine with anything."

"Isn't that brat coming to pick you up?" That's so unprofessional. Su Yu has been Guo Guo's chauffeur ever since he started pursuing her. We still need to keep an eye on him.

Lu Yiyue looked at her father and smiled, a happy smile. "Dad, you actually want Lele to pick me up every day, right? Like Uncle."

"That's what he should do as a prospective boyfriend." Unless he doesn't want to advance.

After breakfast, Lu Jinnan took his daughter to her studio. As for what he did after dropping her off, Lu Jinnan said he wouldn't pick her up that evening, but only that if she wanted her father to pick her up, she should call him in advance.

Lu Yiyue nodded and reminded her father to drive carefully.

At noon, Tang Junyao was worried that Su Xue and Xiao Nan might quarrel. Last night, Ji Hancheng refused to take pictures no matter what. Looking at his face full of injuries, it was indeed not suitable as a screensaver, as it had the function of warding off evil spirits. After thinking about it, she decided to let it go and told Xiao Xue about it today.

As a result, after making more than a dozen calls, the other party seemed to be dead, and the messages sent were like stones sinking into the sea, not even making a ripple.

When the nurse came in, she saw that Tang Junyao's phone was constantly ringing, but the other party was not answering. Tang Junyao mechanically dialed again and put it on speakerphone. She did this 16 times before she gave up.

"Dr. Tang, is it urgent?"

"No, I called my best friend, she's probably busy." That's what she said, but she was suspicious. Xiaoxue was at work today, she wouldn't be fast asleep, and this woman never leaves her phone.

The nurse nodded, placed the case on the table, and left. Tang Junyao still felt uneasy looking at the closed door, worried that Lu Jinnan and Su Xue had gotten into a fight. She called Guoguo anxiously, since they hadn't started work yet and should be having lunch in the cafeteria.

The phone rang for a few seconds before being answered, and Han Guoguo's cheerful voice came through the receiver, "Hi, Mishi Mishi, Yaoyao, are you going to treat me to dinner?"

"Didn't you go to the cafeteria for lunch with Xiaoxue?"

Han Guoguo didn't know why Su Xue had taken the day off. She called her countless times in the morning but Su Xue didn't answer any of them. When she asked Lu Jinnan, he said that Su Xue had been watching too much drama and couldn't get up.

Guoguo was skeptical of this, even though Su Xue had a history of such behavior. "Xiao Xue took leave. I kept trying to call her but couldn't get through. Jin Nan said he was so engrossed in watching a drama that he hadn't gotten up yet and was probably still asleep."

Tang Junyao: "Did you get too caught up in watching the show?"

"I don't know. Don't worry, they won't fight. Jin Nan wouldn't want to hit Xiao Xue. If they did fight, I reckon it would be in a different way. What do you think?"

Tang Junyao: "............" They really are a family.
