My older sister is a villainous rich girl

Eve rested her chin on her hand, watching her with a leisurely air.

Chris took a small piece of food from the snack box and said helplessly, "We're going to see an art exhibition, not... a honeymoon."

The initial goal was to find some promising individuals, and this goal was barely achieved.

At a banquet hosted by the art exhibition organizers, she and Wayne had already discussed potential collaborations with several painters.

With their help, I believe my pictorial magazine will soon become famous.

"Sigh—" Eve sighed deeply at her lack of any sense of crisis.

Chris felt slightly uneasy under the influence of that look in her eyes, as if she were looking at her own good-for-nothing daughter.

"Wait, what's wrong?"

"No... I just feel that I should make more time to go out and play with Lady Chris in the future," Eve said wistfully.

Without my help, this young lady would be completely helpless!

However, before Chris could react, Molly jumped up excitedly, "Yay! Let's go swimming!"

"On such a hot day, of course you have to go swimming to enjoy life!"

Look at the way she rolled up her sleeves; it seems she couldn't wait to leap into the icy water.

Chris was also somewhat tempted.

"Let's go to the beach again when there's a long holiday," she said.

"The drama department is currently in intense rehearsals, so we can't get distracted."

"Oh right." Molly suddenly realized, "Is Lady Chris confident?"

"Of course!"

Chris was brimming with confidence. "It's a shame this isn't a direct confrontation with Gothic Edgeworth, otherwise I'd definitely teach her a lesson!"

Eve frowned slightly upon hearing that name.

……

At this moment, Wayne was unaware of the hidden worries that were unfolding around him.

He was in a private lounge, impatiently waiting for Ge Li to appear.

Through his tireless efforts over this period of time, his relationship with Ge Li has progressed by leaps and bounds.

Nowadays, she is not too resistant to his closeness, and will even tell him some of the Edgeworth family's affairs and ask for his opinions on how to handle them.

Although none of them are top-secret information, this is still a crucial step forward.

This at least shows that she is gradually letting down her guard and aligning Wayne's position with her own.

congratulations.

The door was opened.

Wayne smiled slightly and immediately picked up the slender figure that had floated in.

"Hey!" Suddenly losing his balance, Ge Li instinctively put his arm around his neck and playfully slapped him.

Wayne placed her beside the bed.

"May I kiss you?"

Ge Li spread her hands and covered his face. "Can I say no?"

"No, you can't."

Although his tone sounded unquestionable, Wayne did not force his way through her flimsy defenses.

He simply pursed his lips without moving his body.

I kissed her palm.

Perhaps because it was too itchy, Ge Li couldn't help but laugh, and she suddenly pulled away the covering in front of Wayne's face.

He took advantage of the situation and pushed her down onto the small single bed behind him.

"Um... um..."

Their lips met, intertwining.

Feeling Miss Ge Li's enthusiastic response, Wayne felt as if he were about to melt into this unreserved warmth.

After a while.

"Okay, okay... don't keep hugging me, it's hot." Ge Li tried to push him away with some disgust.

"I'll help you take off your clothes so you won't be hot anymore," Wayne wanted to continue.

"You...you have no shame!" Ge Li immediately clutched his chest in alarm, fearing that he might unleash his beastly nature.

But when she looked up and saw the smile on his face, she realized she had been deceived again.

Seeing the girl's cute pout, Wayne suddenly felt like taking a cold shower to calm himself down.

“Miss Gothic,” Wayne called out earnestly.

Ge Li paused, a hint of doubt appearing in his pure, watery eyes.

"Could you not be so cute?" he said.

"If you're too cute, I'll... want to tease you whenever I see you."

His overly direct implication caused Miss Ge Li to look away with slight unease.

Wayne sighed inwardly.

When will these torturous days finally end?

Seeing that she turned her face away and refused to speak, he changed the subject.

“Once that Vice Minister Karaman loses the match, the Orchestra will be joining the ranks of traveling societies.” Wayne felt a headache coming on when he thought about Chris’s attitude.

"Later, Chris might find an opportunity to say some harsh words to you."

"She really wants to have a one-on-one match with you. Then, act like you're not satisfied and ask to spar with her again in some other way..."

At this point, Wayne's tone softened.

"She will most likely agree."

Although the tactic of provocation is overused, it can still be quite effective if used at the right time.

It might even have a surprising effect, especially considering Chris's personality.

He released Ge Li and straightened his somewhat disheveled clothes.

Before leaving, one's appearance must be restored to its original state.

"Are you implying that you're revealing Chris's secret to me?" Ge Li asked softly.

Wayne turned his head and glanced at Miss Geli, who was lying on her side on the single bed.

"This is not a secret, but rather open and well-known information."

Chapter 179 This is a troublesome matter.

Chris is a complete weakling.

Therefore, if the competition could be limited to categories that require physical exertion, Chris would have no chance of winning.

Ge Li also sat up. "Once I've figured out a sure-fire winning strategy, I'm afraid the club that's been turned into a traveling club will end up in your drama club."

Wayne stopped adjusting his cuffs.

"Can't we just win back the orchestra room?" he asked helplessly.

However, Miss Geli showed no intention of understanding his predicament.

"What's the point of comparing things like this? We need to add something else to liven things up."

They were just saying a moment ago that it felt warm to be hugging.

But in the blink of an eye, as if she had completely forgotten, she walked behind Wayne and hugged his waist.

"If only... I could win you over too."

I heard her barely audible whisper behind my ear.

...Or just kill me to entertain Miss Ge Li!

Wayne took her outstretched hand and remained silent.

“Recently, my father has been too busy with political affairs to pay attention to the details, so many tasks have been handed over to me.”

Ge Li said, "For a while, I may not have much free time to see you."

“It’s okay, I’ll come see you tonight!” Wayne said nonchalantly. “Remember to leave the window open.”

Hearing him say that, Ge Li gave a light snort.

"That depends on my mood."

...Geli, you've become cunning.

"So, may I ask, esteemed lady, is your mood pleasant tonight?" Wayne asked.

Without hesitation, she replied, "Between beautiful and not beautiful."

Isn't this tantamount to no answer at all?!

Wayne turned around irritably and stared at her.

Ge Li kept a straight face, looking unmoved.

“Miss Ge Li, you seem to get even more beautiful every day,” he said, feigning surprise.

A slight smile crept onto Ge Li's lips, but he quickly suppressed it.

"Are you saying I wasn't pretty enough before?" she said coldly.

Wayne praised in a serious tone: "You were already the epitome of beauty in the mundane world before, but now you have gradually evolved to the point where even the night is made more beautiful by your presence."

Even though he knew he was lying, Ge Li's face still broke into a smile as if ice and snow were melting.

Seeing her undisguised joy, Wayne inwardly scoffed.

Ah, women.

Although she did not refuse, she still gave Wayne a piece of advice in the end.

"You'd better not get caught, or I won't admit it..."

He leaned closer and pressed, "You won't admit to what?"

“I will not acknowledge your...relationship with me.” Ge Li’s pretty face flushed slightly. “In short, if my father finds out one day, you can expect to face the wrath of the Edgeworth family.”

"What?!" Wayne's eyes widened, as if he couldn't believe it.

"We've already had this kind of relationship, and you still won't give me a proper status?"

Ge Li stood aside, observing his performance with indifference, and said calmly, "If I dare to give it to you, would you dare to take it?"

—I've been ruthlessly checkmated.

Wayne's expression froze for a moment, then he brushed off the sensitive topic with an awkward laugh.

"Minister Franz seems to have some bad rumors circulating lately."

Since the majority of students at the academy are children of nobles, the events that happen around those important figures are not secrets to them.

As the finance minister, Franz controlled the nation's finances, wielding considerable power.

However, this important figure has recently aroused the dissatisfaction of many people.

Wien had heard complaints more than once that His Excellency Franz was narrow-minded and allowed local rebellions to occur in order to fight for power.

Ironically, many of those who complained were nobles who were on good terms with the Winchester family.

When this matter was brought up, Ge Li's expression also turned rather unpleasant.

“Those guys are just trying to pin their own mistakes on others,” she sneered. “Saying my father colluded with the rebels is a joke.”

Wayne was taken aback.
