My older sister is a villainous rich girl

Her expression was a mix of shyness and nervousness.

“I’ll take you back to test your magic,” Wayne said casually.

"..."

Chris looked annoyed. "Didn't I say I wasn't going?"

“The more you care about this, the more likely people are to gossip about it,” Wayne advised.

"You already possess a magical genius like me, what are their little magical powers compared to that?"

Even if the make-up test is conducted after class, it will still be known when the data from each class is compiled.

It would be better to just state your position directly and openly.

Walk your own path and let others talk.

"Well, that's still better than running away for so long and then having to slink back in the end," Chris said, somewhat unwillingly.

“I won’t let you go back with your tail between your legs,” Wayne said meaningfully.

"Eh?"

Without saying a word, Wayne carried her away from the shade of the tree in a princess carry.

"Hello, hello!"

Realizing his intention, she buried her face in his chest, overcome with shyness, and whispered, "I can walk back by myself, please put me down!"

"Do you remember that lame joke you told?" Wayne laughed.

"—By creating a more eye-catching topic, you can blur out the key information you don't want people to notice."

Chapter 184 Now, things are very bad.

"Hey, did you hear? Lady Chris wasn't feeling well during her practical class today, and Lady Wayne had to carry her back to the group."

In the orchestral section, a first-year girl couldn't help but spread gossip she had gotten from other classes.

"Wow~" Exclamations of envy could be heard from time to time.

The other girls nearby also perked up their ears.

“Wow… Lady Chris is so enviable. I also want a handsome boy like Lord Wayne to take care of me~” a girl exclaimed. “I thought Lord Wayne would join the orchestra like he did in elementary school.”

"Huh? You actually like Lord Wayne?" someone nearby exclaimed in surprise. "Aren't you afraid of Lady Chris's revenge?"

"Oh, it's not that I like him... it's just that I wish I could catch a glimpse of such a handsome young man once in a while."

The girl who had spoken earlier seemed to realize that her words were unreasonable, and she and her friends laughed awkwardly.

On the other side, Ge Li paused as he flipped through the sheet music.

Seeing that Chris had taken over the center of attention in the orchestra, Yuna, Gore's follower, couldn't help but make sarcastic remarks.

"Hmph, she clearly doesn't have much magic power, yet she still managed to win Lord Wayne's favor. How lucky she is."

Although her first meeting with Wayne wasn't pleasant, she had long forgotten about that little incident.

As a staunch supporter of the Edgeworth family, she is diligently fulfilling her duties.

That is, to try to oppose the Winchester family.

Ge Li didn't really like this girl, but since Yuna's father was her father's capable subordinate, she wouldn't shut her out.

After all, the value of a follower lies in using them wherever they can be used.

After several years of practice, she can now handle these interpersonal relationships very well and no longer hides in the stairwell and cries when she encounters a little setback, just like when she was a child.

Thinking back to that time, when Wayne told her about those "tricks" and "cute points," Ge Li couldn't help but drift off into thought.

"Karei-sama! Karei-sama!"

Yuna called her name several times, puzzled.

"Oh...oh!" Ge Li suddenly came to his senses.

But she didn't respond further and instead changed the subject.

"Yuna, have you memorized your new sheet music?" she said. "This time, you have to follow Karaman's instructions."

When asked about serious matters, Yuna's expression visibly stiffened for a moment.

She stammered for a long time before complaining, "That Miss Karaman is no match for you, Lord Ge Li. Why should we listen to her arrangements?"

Ge Li said calmly, "This time she requested to be in charge of the planning herself. Now that she has made the decision, we will do whatever she arranges."

...that way, she'll be able to accept her defeat wholeheartedly.

The current head of the orchestral club is a fourth-year student and will be involved in an internship next semester, so the management authority of the club has been largely delegated to the lower-year students.

Normally, Deputy Minister Karaman should automatically take over after the minister leaves office.

Originally, Ge Li hadn't intended to run for minister as a first-year student. To her, starting as vice minister wouldn't make much difference.

Unfortunately, Senior Karaman didn't think so.

Perhaps feeling too much pressure from comparing herself to others, Karaman was very hostile towards her.

If you want to be my enemy, then I have no choice but to treat you like one.

She thought to herself.

However, even though this enemy lost the match, he himself did not win.

What awaited him after that was another, weaker, yet stronger... true enemy.

That's really going too far.

I want to stand here and hear from others how close you two are.

Her fingers gripped the sheet music, unconsciously tightening.

"Eh? Lady Kareem!" Yuna cried out in despair, "My sheet music..."

Ge Li was taken aback, then immediately released the paper in his hand.

Sorry! I wasn't paying attention for a moment.

……

Evening, at the Duke of Winchester's residence.

“It’s all your fault~” Chris buried her face in the sofa. “All day today, I’ve been asked about you.”

For example, how far have things progressed in your relationship, when are you planning to get married, etc...

How are you supposed to answer a question like that?!

“Isn’t that great?” Wayne sat to the side, smiling smugly.

At least the results of the magic power test were completely covered up.

Perhaps because Chris was somewhat satisfied with the final result, she simply hummed and stopped pressing the matter.

These days, the drama department's rehearsals are in full swing, and all the costumes and props have been ordered.

As a result, Chris's schedule became much tighter.

In addition, Chris also insisted on completing her daily homework herself, probably because she didn't want to fail.

Wayne had no choice but to help her with her problems while explaining them to her.

—It's a hundred times harder than making two meals by yourself.

By the time I finally finished all the homework for all subjects, it was already very late.

"Good night, go to sleep early," he said.

"understood."

The two parted ways in the hallway, and Wayne yawned as he returned to his bedroom.

He skillfully locked the door, then leaned against the edge of the bed and waited quietly for a while.

After confirming that everyone else in the mansion was asleep, he took out the cloak he had hidden and jumped out of the window.

It was past midnight, and the moon had risen above the treetops.

It seems I'm a little later than usual today. I hope Miss Ge Li won't be angry.

He carefully evaded the Edgeworth family's guards, hiding in the shadows, and sneaked into Gosling's room.

but……

Why are the windows closed?!

Wayne lingered somewhat bewildered downstairs at her apartment building.

Does it mean you don't want to see me today?

After hesitating for a moment, he summoned a shadow that swam up the wall.

In the darkness of night, the window was gently pushed open.

Wayne breathed a sigh of relief.

It turned out it was only partially closed.

Otherwise, he would be torn between whether to use other methods to infiltrate her and whether he had angered her.

He climbed over the open window and went inside.

Upon seeing the familiar figure lying on the bed, covered with a thin blanket, Wayne smiled slightly.

He carefully untied his cloak, took off his shoes, lifted a corner of the thin blanket, and climbed onto her soft bed.

What my palms touched was skin as smooth as silk.

He noticed that Ge Li's breathing became slightly disordered for a moment.

Wayne froze, remaining motionless.

"...You're not wearing a nightgown?" His expression was slightly bewildered.

At this moment, Wayne had already pulled her into his arms.

But the sensation of those large patches of skin made him feel—

Now, things are in a bad state.

Chapter 185 Do you like me the most?

Although Miss Ge Li's nightgown was already quite thin.

But... having and not having are two completely different concepts.

He was at a loss, unsure whether he should make a quick get out of there.

Suddenly, Ge Li turned around in her arms.

"...Wait, wait..."

He frantically tried to get up, but his body, trapped by Goli, was unable to move.

Her slender hand pressed against his chest, and Ge Li flipped over and sat on him, restricting his movements.

The thin blanket slipped to one side, revealing a breathtakingly beautiful view.

Her long, smooth, brown hair was slightly disheveled and draped over her rounded shoulders. In the hazy moonlight, she was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen.

The night was still, and all the lights were asleep.

In this absolutely private space, every inch of the girl's beautiful skin seemed to reflect a fair and cool glow.

It is intoxicating and captivating.

"Is it pretty?" she asked softly.

With his eyes greedily fixed on her body, Wayne was speechless.

Seeing him panting heavily, his chest heaving violently, she seemed curious and lowered her head to listen to his heartbeat.

"Thump-thump—thump-thump—"
