My older sister is a villainous rich girl

……

Ge Li pursed his lips and didn't say a word. Sitting opposite him, Wayne didn't know what else he could say.

He came to her not to blame her, but simply to clear up the misunderstanding.

Wayne felt that he must have lost his mind.

Because she didn't want to expose her own shameful secrets without any cover, she chose to use the roundabout method of writing letters.

Unexpectedly, she didn't even glance at it.

After going around in circles, we've returned to this state of openness and honesty; perhaps this is what they mean by—

Choosing to take the easy way out will only lead to unsatisfactory results.

“Eve and I really don’t have… anything special,” Wayne said with some difficulty.

"In the past, we only went out together a few times during holidays, and that was always with Chris."

Ge Li lowered his eyelids and sighed softly, "I don't even know which of your words are true and which are false."

“What I’m telling you now is absolutely the truth!” Wayne replied immediately without any hesitation.

Because of his emotional unease, he unconsciously leaned forward a little, wanting to get closer to her.

"If I really had that kind of relationship with her, I couldn't possibly not tell you the truth..."

"But!"

Ge Li interrupted him.

Her hands, which were resting on the table, were clenched into fists, as if she had expended a great deal of energy.

"But you didn't tell Chris about our relationship either, did you?"

Staring blankly at her, Wayne was speechless.

"How can I trust you?" she whispered, a bittersweet smile on her face.

The two sat facing each other, and no subtle change in their expressions could be hidden from each other.

Therefore, Wayne clearly noticed that her eyes were wet.

Sensing the heartache in his eyes, Ge Li turned her head back to the window, unwilling to meet his gaze.

Having already said those words, there seems to be no need to hide those feelings that have been kept hidden for so long.

"If I hadn't...done that first, Wayne wouldn't have liked me, would he?"

This fact has always been like a sharp thorn buried deep in my heart.

Whenever I muster the courage to pull it out, I always end up getting cut and bleeding.

No matter how many sweet words he whispers in your ear, if you actually believe them, you're just numbing yourself.

—If I can be with him this way, then others can too.

All the carefully crafted pretense was torn away, and Wayne was unable to defend himself.

At that time, he appreciated Ge Li, but that was all he appreciated.

My liking for her only went as far as "This little girl is so cute, let me tease her a bit."

That's why he would intentionally or unintentionally devise plans that were destined to fail, just so he could see her cry after she failed, and then... he would comfort her.

Before Ge Li revealed his feelings with actions that he couldn't resist, he hadn't really thought about what it would be like if he were with Ge Li.

That concept never even existed in my mind.

—He is a member of the Winchester family and is destined to be with the female protagonist, Chris.

This idea made him firmly believe it.

"I was the one who told you I liked you first."

Wayne suddenly said.

It's like they're trying to prove something with this.

“But that’s not true…” Ge Li said.

Even a formal confession like "I like you" was only forced upon him when she could no longer tolerate him.

"Back then, even if I didn't say it out loud, didn't you notice?"

Her smile was very sad.

Unfortunately, it's impossible to hide who liked whom first.

"I'm such a loser. I knew I'd lose if I liked someone first, but I still..."

Hearing this, Wayne regretted instilling those nonsensical ideas in her.

He instinctively tried to struggle:

Why must we insist on a first-come, first-served order?

"Now I like you, and you like me too. Isn't it great that we love each other?"

Even though Ge Li took the initiative first, I'm not the kind of person who accepts everyone's offer!

He only wanted to...

He and Chris lived a peaceful and uneventful life together.

however--

Ge Li is so cute.

He couldn't bear to give up what he already had, something he so desperately wanted.

Ge Li protested, "But you like too many people!"

"I only love you, but you love so many others..."

Wayne opened his mouth helplessly.

After a long silence, he said in a low voice:

"It's just you and Chris, there's no one else."

"Eve did that on purpose because she knew about our relationship."

"She...wants to help Chris."

To make his words more convincing, Wayne recounted in detail what had happened between him and Eve.

“That’s basically it,” Wayne said in a low voice.

"That day, she was asking me those questions because she was standing on the side of Chris's good friend."

Ge Li merely sneered, "A follower is just a follower. When did he become qualified to interfere in the affairs of the master's family?"

Wayne felt somewhat troubled by her indifferent attitude.

“She…is a trustworthy friend in the eyes of both Chris and me,” he said.

Perhaps influenced by the views of later generations, neither he nor Chris were particularly concerned about the difference in their social status.

Otherwise, he wouldn't feel any pressure clinging to Tasia's coattails.

Was Chapter 232 fun? Want to play a little longer?

“Yes, you and Chris.” Goece repeated the sentence with a sarcastic tone.

Wayne rested his elbows on the table in frustration, rubbing his temples.

Having lived with Chris for so long, and always being with her, almost all of Chris's friends naturally became his friends as well.

He understood what Ge Li was dissatisfied with.

The friend that she and Chris could trust... was actually her enemy.

Perhaps, he should have been her enemy too.

What should I do now?

“Eve found out about what we were doing and has been trying to stop us,” Wayne said after a long silence.

“She told me before that she was willing to give me one last chance. If I were to be with you again… she would tell Chris.”

Ge Li's expression faltered slightly, then he twitched the corner of his mouth.

“That’s not bad either,” she suddenly said.

"I'm tired of being able to hide in the background and watch you two being so intimate."

Wayne's pupils dilated instantly, and he looked up at her in disbelief.

When she said those words, he instinctively wanted to speak up and stop her.

However, I just couldn't bring myself to say what I wanted to say.

Should we just let her continue to suffer injustice?

But if I don't keep putting up with this, and Chris really finds out—

Will their situation improve?

Will not.

They will only keep moving deeper into the abyss.

“Just…just a little more time, please?” Wayne said.

The voice was faint and elusive. "I'm sure I can find a suitable solution."

—How are you going to solve this?!

Although I really wanted to question him mercilessly.

However, when she saw the fine beads of sweat on his forehead, Ge Li softened and did not expose his last fig leaf.

This isn't the first time I've wanted to give up.

But every time I have to make up my mind, I can't help but feel reluctant to part with him and unwilling to accept it.

Perhaps it was because I indulged his greed that he became so unruly.

So she just smiled faintly.

“Go back,” Ge Li said. “I want to be alone for a while.”

As she spoke, she sighed softly:

“If you stay by my side for too long, someone will inevitably tell on you and ‘accidentally’ let your dearest Chris know what good things you’ve been doing behind her back.”

If we ignore the emotions implied in those words and look at them on the surface, it seems like he's trying to persuade him to leave.

But from that sarcastic tone, Wayne clearly understood that her resentment was far from over.

"This is not a good thing."

Wayne said very seriously.

Ge Li's expression immediately turned ugly.

She silently gazed at his face, wondering what other brilliant ideas he might have.

"This is a terrible, even awful thing."

He offered his own definition of this relationship.

Upon hearing this, Ge Li closed his eyes, seemingly unable to bear it any longer and wanting to get up and leave.

Even if you are fully aware of the mistake you made, it is still extremely embarrassing to have it said to your face like that.

"but--"

Wayne shouted, "I'm going to do it!"

After a moment of surprise, Ge Li frowned and reminded her, "Keep your voice down."

"Snapped!"

Before Ge Li could even stand up, Wayne suddenly slammed his hand on the table and stood up first.
