My older sister is a villainous rich girl

"Lord Songli..."

Upon hearing the name, Wayne's heart skipped a beat, and his heart seemed to freeze for a few moments.

His movement as he pressed against Chris froze.

A moment later, two more girls emerged from around the corner.

It was Geli, and her follower Yuna.

Upon suddenly seeing Wayne and Chris, Ge Li stopped in her tracks, and Yuna, who was closely following behind her, also stopped.

In this small space, even the air seemed to become thick and viscous under the overly heavy atmosphere, making it difficult to breathe.

From the direction Wayne was facing, he could see the hem of Gothel's skirt and a glimpse of her bare calves out of the corner of his eye.

However, he dared not turn around even a little bit to see her current gaze and expression.

She did not speak.

Chris didn't have any either.

It was only a brief moment, yet it felt like an eternity.

In the end, it was Yuna who broke the calm that was now turbulent undercurrents.

"Oh, Miss Chris, what a refined taste you have! You couldn't even hold back at the office door?"

As she spoke, her gaze deliberately lingered on Wayne.

The almost frozen atmosphere in the corridor was broken by her flippant words.

Wayne felt a great sense of relief.

He casually released Chris, took a step back, and stood beside her, assuming a stance of fighting alongside her.

That's when I saw what Ge Li looked like.

She was wearing a well-made school uniform, with the collar and hem neatly arranged, and she was holding a stack of documents in her hands.

It seems he has something important to discuss with the teachers.

The moment his gaze fell upon her, Ge Li immediately looked away, seemingly unwilling to meet his eyes.

However, Yuna was not willing to let go of the opportunity to mock the Winche family to their faces so easily.

"Wow—what's that?!" Yuna exclaimed dramatically, even attracting the attention of students chatting at the other end of the corridor.

They all looked over with curious eyes.

Wayne was startled and covered the area below his neck with one hand.

He then immediately took out the bow tie he had taken off earlier because it was too hot and tried to tie it back on.

"Could it be..."

Yuna was excited and wanted to loudly proclaim her amazing discovery, but was forcefully interrupted by Ge Li.

"enough!"

“We have a lot of things to do, and we don’t have that much free time to waste on irrelevant people,” she said, frowning.

After saying that, she didn't want to look at the two people in this direction at all, and planned to walk straight past them.

The incident was about to disappear without a trace.

however--

As she brushed past Golly, Chris suddenly smiled.

"Whether it's at the office door, at home, or anywhere else..." she drawled, "my man, I can do whatever I want with him."

!!!

Wayne's current mood is like he's been traversed from the equator to the poles and back in a single second, a scene of utter chaos.

Danger! Danger!

Seeing Wayne standing there, his bow tie hanging on either side of his neck, looking completely bewildered, Chris smiled sweetly.

She raised her hand, stood on tiptoe, and gently tied his bow tie into a cute bow.

Then smooth it out, touching it all the way down to the chest.

When Chris openly and without any hesitation showered Yuna with a wave of PDA, Yuna couldn't help but feel a pang of jealousy.

"A pair of despicable people," she muttered under her breath, intending to leave with Ge Li first.

but--

Ge Li, however, seemed to have been stimulated by something and couldn't take a single step.

She gripped the documents tightly in her hand, her body trembling slightly.

"Hmm? Lord Gere?" Yuna asked, sounding puzzled.

The situation was about to spiral out of control when Wayne, seeing the danger, quickly stepped forward and pushed Chris to the other side.

“Georgie Edgeworth!” he shouted without turning his head. “You’d better stay home and practice more! Otherwise, after this competition, you’ll be Chris’s maid all day long!”

He pretended to make some harsh remarks, trying to divert her attention elsewhere.

Although it was unclear whether it would have any effect, she did not erupt until Wayne successfully pushed Chris away.

Only after he was far away from the high-risk area and the surrounding situation had stabilized did Wayne secretly relax a little.

...That was close.

The job is so dangerous, it's like constantly teetering on the brink of disaster. It's practically inhuman.

He felt he needed to be more careful about his words and actions in public from now on. Such a critical situation couldn't always be avoided so luckily.

but.

He had just relaxed his guard a little when Chris's aggrieved voice rang in his ears.

“Why are you speaking up for Gothic Edgeworth?” she demanded.

"Huh?" Wayne said, bewildered. "I didn't speak up for her."

"You still say no!" Chris was furious. "You even said she should practice hard..."

Wayne was completely exasperated. He grabbed Chris's hand, which she was trying to shake off, and explained, "I didn't mean for her to practice properly. I meant to make her talk tough, understand? No matter what, we can't lose in terms of momentum!"

No matter what he said, Chris wouldn't let go of that one sentence.

"You knew perfectly well that I might lose, yet you still said those things..."

Her eyes welled up with tears, and she seemed genuinely sad.

Wayne was speechless.

Holding Chris's hand tightly, he organized his thoughts for a moment, then gave an example:

"Think about it. Even if I didn't say that, but instead begged her for mercy, saying, 'Please, Lady Geli, even if you win, please don't make things difficult for the little maid Chris,' would she soften her heart and let you go?"

After hearing what he said, Chris tried to imagine the scene as he described, and then couldn't help but shudder.

"I'm not going to beg her for mercy."

“That’s the way to go!” Wayne said. “If sweet talk won’t work, why not just assume we’ll win and put psychological pressure on her?”

Although... hearing the actual benefits in her ears might very well relieve stress.

Chapter 208 You two aren't married yet.

Barely persuaded by Wayne's sophistry, Chris's condition stabilized.

But I'm still not very happy.

She glanced at Wayne sullenly, then raised her hands and cupped his cheeks, making him meet her gaze.

"Do you really like me?" she asked.

Why do you keep asking this kind of question?

Although he was inwardly complaining, his expression remained completely unchanged.

"Of course it's true."

Your tone should be firm, and your gaze sincere.

After staring at him for a while, Chris finally released his face.

"No matter what, you must always stand by my side," she said again.

"it is good."

Wayne smiled and looked back.

……

As a result, the sensational rumors about him and Chris spread throughout the entire school before school even ended.

The details are so rich that it's as if someone witnessed them flirting.

However, only Wayne, the person directly involved, truly understands just how outrageous the rumors are.

The entire process was basically fabricated, and the dialogue was extremely cheesy.

What does it look like?

"My dearest baby, mwah~"

"Love you, sweetie~"

some type of.

Just hearing about it from someone else's mouth and seeing the images that come to mind is unbearable to look at.

"Damn it! Wayne, your progress should have been behind mine, but you've managed to overtake me!"

Gavin expressed envy, jealousy, and resentment.

Because of the inexplicable rumors that he was a womanizer, Gavin's recent attempts to confess his feelings have all failed, severely damaging his resolve.

He has now sunk to the point of hiding in a secluded corner, silently cursing other couples to break up as soon as possible.

It was filled with resentment and was extremely terrifying.

Stared at intently by Gavin's predatory gaze, Wayne raised the newspaper on the table to shield his eyes and deliberately sat down a little further away from him.

"Those things, you can tell they're made up just by listening to them."

He said, "How could I possibly talk so mushyly?"

Richard laughed upon hearing this. "Wayne, don't make any promises you can't keep."

If you want to win a girl's heart, it's inevitable that you'll occasionally say some cheesy things like that.

It was free time after today's classes, and the group of them were having afternoon tea in the Lily Club's activity room.

In the quiet afternoon, the warm sunshine and the faint chirping of cicadas make one feel drowsy.

At times like these, if you can take a break from work, chatting with friends and playing games can be a very enjoyable experience.

The only downside is the lack of air conditioning, which is always a bit of a disappointment.

Wayne took a sip of tea and let out a long, contented sigh.

"By the way, President Raphael is thinking of organizing a study tour," Richard casually mentioned.

Gavin was taken aback. "Huh? Only for members of the Lily Society?"

To ensure the holistic development of its students, the academy organizes at least one study tour each year.

However, these were all group trips organized by each class. The preparations required in advance and the expenses for the activities were substantial, often needing to be planned two or three months in advance; they weren't trips that could be taken on a whim.

For members of the Lily Society, although they have many privileges, they generally only hold some banquets and events during holidays.

Larger projects seem too complicated, and as a result, few people are willing to participate.

If it's just for fun, you can easily arrange to go with your close friends privately; there's no need for the Lily Association to organize it.

Planning a group trip for all members of the Lily Society presents a significant safety challenge, but there are even bigger problems involved—

The irreconcilable contradictions between different noble factions.
