My older sister is a villainous rich girl

For example, Richard and Lawrence, Chris and Gothic...

Study tours that often last for several days and nights don't allow for the same freedom to do whatever you want as you would in an activity room.

If conflicts arise among these noble families, without some serious skills, no one can really act as a mediator.

“Yes,” Richard said. “Next year, Raphael will probably be returning to the Kingdom of Stuart.”

"He probably wanted to spend more time with his friends before going back."

Wayne picked up his teacup again, pretending to savor the tea, and listened quietly to their conversation without offering any opinions.

Richard's cousin, Prince Raphael, was arrogant.

However, this only applies to lower-ranking nobles and commoners.

In the Lily Society, President Raphael has always been very considerate and responsible. Even if a member of the Lily Society makes a mistake, he will stand up for the younger generation.

Therefore, within the Lily Club alone, he can be considered a very prestigious senior.

Hmm...that makes sense.

If I didn't have some confidence in my management skills, I wouldn't have rashly proposed organizing a study tour.

"He will solicit opinions publicly later."

After saying that, Richard asked, "What do you think?"

"That's great!" Gavin exclaimed, giving a firm "yes" when he heard about the opportunity to go out and have fun together.

Then the two looked at Wayne.

“Uh… I need to ask Chris what she thinks first.” He feigned hesitation.

"No way? You two aren't even married yet, how did things turn out like this?!" Gavin laughed loudly, seemingly incredulous.

"Hey, keep your voice down!" Wayne's expression changed, and he looked at the girl like a thief.

Fortunately, Chris and Geli each have their own small circles and don't seem to have noticed this.

He secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

His hesitation wasn't because he was "henpecked," but because he didn't want things to go wrong on the spot!

Who can understand my pain?

Clearly, Gavin didn't understand.

"Tsk tsk tsk... Wayne, I feel sorry for your future."

Gavin seemed to recover from the frustration of his failed relationship in an instant, and gained a sense of superiority as a single aristocrat in front of Wayne.

He shook his head and sighed, "Looking at you now is like seeing what you'll be like decades from now."

"Heh." Wayne gave a perfunctory, fake laugh.

"I'm doing this to respect my future wife's opinion, understand?"

He had already made up his mind, but Van Klis showed a hint of reluctance, and he was determined to persuade her to withdraw from the study abroad opportunity.

Life is precious, safety comes first.

Thinking this, Wayne put down his teacup and stood up.

"Excuse me, I'll be there for a moment."

He planned to sound out Chris's opinion before Raphael made his proposal.

At this moment, Chris was sitting around a small round table chatting with several other girls she was close to, including senior Sophia.

In the middle of their seats were also exquisitely designed desserts.

Wayne quietly approached her from behind and overheard her conversation.

Chapter 209 If you don't tell me, I won't know

"Chris and Wayne's relationship is so enviable!"

A girl sitting next to Chris, with her back to her, said this.

"...Actually...it's not that exaggerated." Chris's voice was much shyer than usual, sounding quite embarrassed.

Hearing what they were talking about, Wayne had an urge to turn around and leave.

Unfortunately, his presence alone drew the attention of the girls nearby.

"Wayne, classmate~"

When the girl saw him, she gave him a teasing yet excited look and greeted him loudly.

Chris, who was sitting in the chair, was taken aback at first, and then turned around and looked up.

She saw the handsome young man standing behind her.

"Why are you eavesdropping on us girls?" she scolded.

Wayne's expression was somewhat bitter. "I wasn't eavesdropping, it's just... there's something I want to ask you."

But Chris didn't believe him.

"Whatever it is, we can talk about it when we get back, right?"

She thought Wayne was deliberately trying to show off his relationship with her, and Chris felt very uncomfortable doing it in public.

Seeing that Chris blushed a little, her friends got even more excited and started cheering and making noises.

People in other corners of the activity room were also drawn to the loud commotion coming from there.

Upon seeing that it was Wayne and Chris, many people exchanged knowing smiles.

Chris blushed even more, stood up, and forcefully pushed Wayne aside.

"Don't come any closer."

Wayne opened his mouth, about to say something.

"Don't talk to me!"

She immediately shut him down.

So, Wayne was helplessly pushed away to another corner of the activity room, and watched her back as she left before sitting back down in his original seat without looking back.

Chris, who had previously boasted that she could "do whatever she wanted," has disappeared without a trace.

Sitting in this activity room now is Miss Chris, who is particularly shy and timid.

"Ugh--"

Seeing that she had turned her back to him, determined not to acknowledge him, Wayne sighed deeply.

As soon as he turned around, he saw Miss Ge Li staring at him.

It was such a feeling of injustice... and sadness.

Wayne's heart skipped a beat.

Their eyes met briefly before looking away.

Wayne remained silent for a moment, then quietly left through the back door.

……

"Wayne, why didn't I see you at the Lily Club later?"

On the way back, Chris asked in confusion.

The carriage moved slowly, the slight swaying from the wheels mirroring his wavering emotions.

"My stomach wasn't feeling well, so I went to the toilet," Wayne replied calmly.

Chris immediately looked at him with an expression that suggested he didn't know what to say.

After a long pause, she whispered, "I thought you were angry."

Slightly surprised, Wayne looked up at her and sighed, "I'm not that easily angered."

...Not like you.

Chris gazed at the receding scenery outside the window, and after a long while, she spoke again:

"If you get angry, you must tell me."

"If you don't tell me, I won't know."

Wayne blinked. "I guess... you're not too happy right now, are you?"

Upon hearing his words, she was slightly taken aback at first, then a faint smile appeared on her face.

"I always feel like I don't understand you at all, but you understand me very well."

This tone doesn't sound like praise.

Wayne bent over, supporting himself on his knees, and plopped down next to Chris.

"Want to get to know me?" he asked.

Chris lowered her eyes, then nodded very slightly.

“If you want to understand me, you have to take action,” Wayne said with a smile.

He put his arm around Chris's waist and pulled her into his embrace.

"What you said is also what I wanted to say to you."

He whispered in her ear, "Could you please not make me guess what you're thinking every time? It's exhausting even if I can guess right."

He reached out and hugged her, and Chris relaxed and nestled into his arms.

Just when Wayne felt everything was getting better, Chris suddenly asked:

"Do you find being with me tiring?"

His heart skipped a beat.

His intuition told him that he couldn't hesitate for too long at this moment.

"It's a bit tiring, but I'm also very happy."

He said those words as if he hadn't thought about them at all.

"really?"

"real."

As if afraid she wouldn't believe him, Wayne kept nodding to reinforce his convincing answer while giving an affirmative one.

Looking at him, Chris said in a weak voice, "Don't stop liking me just because you feel tired."

Wayne said firmly, "I will always like you."

She breathed a sigh of relief after receiving his direct and unequivocal answer, as if she had finally put her mind at ease.

Feeling Chris leaning her entire weight against him, Wayne raised his hand and gently stroked the ends of her soft hair.

The little curls are very interesting to touch and feel great.

She lay quietly for a while before continuing to talk about her time in the Lily Society.

"President Raphael said he hopes we can participate in the Lily Society's study tour, which is scheduled to take place after the final exams. I have already agreed."

Wayne paused in his play with her hair.

For me, there is no suitable excuse to refuse this matter from any perspective.

"Then let's go."

If you can counter each move as it comes, you shouldn't die.

As long as Miss Ge Li is properly appeased before that day arrives, there shouldn't be any major problems.

“Because we weren’t in the same class before, our study abroad destinations were never the same,” Chris said with a touch of melancholy.

“It’s good to start now, isn’t it?” Wayne comforted him.

"Besides, don't we always spend every holiday together? We go fishing, catching crabs, horseback riding, hiking, skiing..."

During those few years of easy and leisurely days, he used the guise of accompanying Chris to do many things he had long wanted to do.
