A childhood sweetheart was no match for a sudden arrival? Huyan Lan became the losing heroine at last!

"Brother, you... you... you..." Jiang Sui snatched the marriage certificate, looked down, and her almond-shaped eyes widened. "You married Sister Liuli?"

"Holy crap? It really is!" Yin Long leaned closer to look, his eyes widening in disbelief, his jaw dropping to the floor. "Captain, you and Liuli are only eighteen, how can you get a marriage certificate?"

"The marriage certificate was issued in Hong Kong." Hu Xiao slapped his forehead, his face full of shock. "Damn it! In Hong Kong, as long as the parents agree, you can get married at eighteen."

In other words, it was the Hong Kong Home Affairs Bureau that helped with the marriage registration, which is why Su Xiao and Liuli were able to successfully obtain their marriage certificate!

Su Hang nodded with a smile, "That's right."

" Su Hang... Su Hang and Liuli registered their marriage." Huyan Lan released her hands in a daze, the anger in her beautiful eyes vanishing completely, replaced by intense shock and a hint of desolation. "So that's how it is."

Su Hang clenched his fist and said, "With the protection of our Huaxia marriage law, plus the surrender letter from the Yugong Family, Liuli is absolutely safe."

"Am I dreaming? My brother married Liuli." Jiang Sui suddenly pinched her arm, puzzled. "Huh? Why doesn't it hurt? Am I really dreaming?"

"Nonsense! Of course you're not in pain." Yin Long's eyes welled up with tears. "You're pinching my arm, let go!"

"Oh, if it hurts, then it proves I'm not dreaming." Jiang Sui chuckled as she looked at the marriage certificate. "The marriage certificate photos are really beautiful. Sister Liuli is as beautiful as an angel, and my brother looks quite human too."

Su Hang: "..."

"That's great! Sister Liuli is my sister-in-law! We're now inseparable family!" Jiang Sui's face lit up with anticipation and excitement. "Then I can legitimately ask her for pocket money!"

Su Hang said sternly, "You dare ask me to break your legs?"

"Beep!" Jiang Sui made a face, "I want it, I want it!"

"Damn it, the nationality and name on this marriage certificate are wrong." Tiger Roar Watson noticed the mistake and asked in confusion, "Shouldn't it be Japanese Amamiya Ruri? How did it become Chinese Su Liuli?"

"I requested the change of nationality so that Liuli could become Huaxia citizen and forever break free from the control of the Yugong Family."

Su Hang's expression softened as he said, "As for the name, it's a custom in Liuli. They say that after marriage, the bride takes her husband's surname, which means she'll take my surname."

"I'm so envious." Yin Long was green with envy. " Liuli is a true heiress, her family is incredibly wealthy. Captain, you've really Dayun! Seeing this makes me want to get married too."

Su Hang, his face darkening, said, "What the hell is this Dayun ' nonsense?"

Hu Xiao Roar slammed his fist on the table and exclaimed excitedly, "Damn it! Brother Su has returned home safely, and on top of that, he's gotten married to Sister Liuli. Today is a double celebration! I suggest we have a proper celebration!"

" Uncle Hu is right," Jiang Sui said with a beaming smile. "One happy event after another today! I'll cook a feast right away, and we'll have a good time."

"Long live!" Yin Long exclaimed happily.

"There's none for you." Jiang Sui's expression changed dramatically as she glared at them fiercely. "You only deserve to sit at the table and watch us eat."

"Why should I?" Yin Long said indignantly.

Jiang Sui pouted and said, "If you want to eat, you have to pay me back my coins first."

"Don't even think about it." Yin Long's face was full of stubbornness.

"Hey?" Su Hang called out as he saw a beautiful figure leaving, " Huyan Lan, where are you going?"

Huyan Lan turned around, her face somewhat pale. She stammered, "I suddenly remembered I have something to take care of, so I need to go home first. I'll come back tomorrow."

"What matter absolutely has to be dealt with today?" Su Hang frowned, trying to persuade him to stay. "Can't we deal with it after we eat?"

"I'm sorry." Huyan Lan said apologetically, reaching for the doorknob. Then, as if remembering something, she turned back, forcing a smile, and said, "Congratulations, Su Hang, on getting your marriage certificate with Liuli and winning the heart of your beauty."

Su Hang was slightly taken aback, then smiled and nodded, "Thank you."

Late at night, in the Huxi Manor Villa District.

Inside the bathtub, Huyan Lan wrapped her arms around her rounded knees, water jets spraying from the showerhead above her head. Her dark hair was wet, and her once bright and beautiful eyes had lost their luster, becoming dull and lifeless.

"Sister," Huyan Ya poked half her head in, "Are you alright?"

Huyan Lan looked up and forced a smile, "It's nothing."

" Sui Bao told me everything." Huyan Ya took off her clothes, turned on the tap, stepped into the bathtub, and sat opposite Huyan Lan. " Brother Hang got married to Sister Liuli to protect her safety."

"Yes," Huyan Lan said with a bitter smile, "I never expected Su Hang to come up with the idea of getting a marriage certificate. Now, Liuli's safety can be guaranteed forever."

Huyan Ya lowered her eyes and said, "Sister, perhaps I couldn't understand your feelings before, but today I can empathize with you."

"Is something on your mind?" Despite feeling utterly miserable, Huyan Lan forced a smile and asked gently.

Huyan Ya said softly, "I used to think that only I was willing to risk my life to protect Sui Bao, but after that person named Kanzaki Sakurazō appeared, I realized that it was just wishful thinking on my part."

Huyan Lan laughed and said, "You sensed the danger?"

Huyan Ya nodded her little head. "To be honest, I'm super afraid that Sui Bao will Kanzaki Sakurazō. No matter his illustrious family background or his stunning looks, he can make me look like trash. The most important thing is that he's a boy."

Huyan Lan's body trembled, and he slowly lowered his head.

"But I understand that being afraid is useless," Huyan Ya laughed. "If one day Sui Bao really falls in love with Kanzaki Sakurazō, I'll definitely be heartbroken and cry my eyes out."

Huyan Lan's body trembled uncontrollably, and tears welled up in her eyes.

Huyan Ya continued, "But after I finish crying, I will bless Sui Bao and him and Kanzaki Sakurazō, because I know that the man who looks like a sissy is actually a very courageous man."

"He can protect Sui Bao for me."

Huyan Lan's body trembled violently, and crystal-clear tears streamed down her cheeks.

Huyan Ya whispered, "Sister, you've always liked Brother Hang, haven't you?"

"How could I possibly like Su Hang?" Huyan Lan's voice trembled, tears welling up in her eyes, blurring her vision. "I only considered him a close friend, a good buddy, as..."

Tears flowed like a burst dam, surging and raging.

Huyan Ya said with heartache, "Sister, you're just too proud. So proud that you won't confess first, waiting for Brother Hang to make the first move. But how could that clueless guy Brother Hang possibly confess to you?"

Huyan Lan bit her lip, blood seeping from it. " Yaya, the person I like is Captain of the Imperial Crown of the Imperial Emperor. I don't like Su Hang."

"Then why are you clinging to Brother Hang so desperately?" Huyan Ya questioned. "If you don't like him, why did you risk your life to help Brother Hang save Sister Liuli?"

Warm water submerged the snow-white Mount Everest.

Huyan Lan was already in tears, but stubbornly refused to cry out loud. "I just don't want to see Su Hang go to his death, that's all."

"Sister, you're just too proud, so proud that you're unwilling to admit you like Brother Hang," Huyan Ya said, exasperated. "You clearly had a winning hand, but because of your pride, you've ruined it."

"Perhaps it's true, as you say, that you like Captain of the Imperial Crown Imperial Emperor Clan, but you like Brother Hang more than Imperial Emperor, because those who are loved are fearless."

"You take advantage of Brother Hang's affection and act recklessly, thinking that he will always love you and always wait for you, even if one day you are dumped by Imperial Emperor, Brother Hang will still open his arms and embrace you."

Huyan Lan's body trembled violently as if it were a leaf.

Huyan Ya continued coldly, "But you never imagined that Brother Hang would meet Sister Liuli, fall in love with her, and even be willing to Brother Hang the rest of his life to save her."

Huyan Lan as if a sharp blade was cutting through her throat, the pain making it hard to breathe. " Yaya, stop talking."

Huyan Ya gritted her teeth and shouted, "Sis, you've already won! Why are you so arrogant? As long as you bow your head and confess first, you'll definitely be the one marrying Brother Hang, not Yugong Liuli!"

"Stop talking!" Huyan Lan burst into tears.

Huyan Ya clenched her fists. Sui Bao liked Huyan Lan, Sui Bao's grandfather liked Huyan Lan, and even the emotionally oblivious Brother Hang actually liked Huyan Lan. The whole family liked Huyan Lan.

In this game called love, Huyan Lan has no chance of losing.

But Huyan Lan still lost because she was too proud, like a giraffe with its neck held high, refusing to bow its head.

"I was here first."

Unable to contain her emotions any longer, Huyan Lan broke down in tears, burying her face in her hands. "Why is it Yugong Liuli who married Su Hang?"

Huyan Ya hugged her older sister Huyan Lan tightly, "Cry, sister, cry it all out, it'll make you feel better."

"Why?" Huyan Lan's eyes were red and swollen, tears streaming down her face, her voice choked with sobs. " Su Hang and I grew up together, we know each other inside and out, we like each other, we're childhood sweethearts approved by our family, friends, and teachers."

Why would someone like Yugong Liuli, who had no connection with Su Hang at all and suddenly barged into his life, skip over romance and become his devoted wife?

"That's not fair."

At this moment, Huyan Lan, who had been proud for ten years, finally bowed her head deeply. She had won the world, but lost love.
