My older sister is a villainous rich girl

Time always seems to pass faster than we imagine.

It seems like only a blink of an eye, and the end of summer has quietly arrived.

However, despite this, the weather in the capital was still unbearably hot.

Because of its geographical location inland, far from the ocean, the capital's climate is always bizarre, unbearably hot in summer and freezing cold in winter.

The temperature will not gradually cool down until late autumn.

Ge Li was wearing a rather revealing dress and sitting on a wicker lounge chair by the pool.

Above our heads, a huge upright parasol blocked the somewhat scorching sunlight.

She picked up the frozen juice next to her and took a small sip.

A maid hurried in from the entrance of this highly private swimming pool.

"Miss Gothic, everything you requested has been prepared," the maid reported respectfully.

Upon hearing this, Ge Li nodded slightly.

“Very good, go and stand guard at the door. When you see Chris, 'welcome' her over.”

The maid received the instruction, bowed, and took her leave.

Looking at the rippling water in the pool, Ge Li curled the corners of his mouth, revealing a mocking smile.

……

Wayne got off the carriage carrying a black box.

After surveying his surroundings, he turned around and reached out to Chris for a handshake.

"This place is nice," he exclaimed.

There's a flat grassy area outside; it must be really fun to play football there.

After a period of intensive preparation, the pool competition between Chris and Gothic finally arrived.

He glanced at Chris, who seemed confident and composed, standing beside him.

She was completely unaware of what she had done.

Thinking of this, Wayne couldn't help but feel a little guilty.

"It's pretty good."

Chris looked around and nodded, saying, "Next year, I'm definitely going to buy an even bigger private swimming pool than this one!"

Her tone was extremely serious.

Wayne chuckled, "Then you'll have to come swimming more often, or you'll be thinking of slacking off again."

Chris immediately deflated at the mention of this.

Even if I were to become a superhuman Barbie... in the eyes of most magicians, I would still just be a piece of food in their bowl.

Hearing her sentiments, Wayne's mind immediately conjured up the same image—

Chris transforms into a supermodel Barbie.

"Pfft..." He couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Chris, walking beside him, was momentarily confused, but then realized what he was laughing at. She was both embarrassed and angry, and raised her fist to hit him.

Of course, Wayne wouldn't sit idly by and wait to die; seeing that things were going badly, he quickly started running.

His reaction caused Chris's anger level, which was initially at a relatively low level, to rise rapidly.

She also lifted her skirt and followed closely behind Wayne.

The two chased and fled, abandoning all aristocratic decorum as they rushed into the low-rise building that was only two stories high.

The maid, who had been waiting there, was dumbfounded to see the two guests appear before her in such an unexpected manner.

These are... the children of the great noble Duke Winchester?

—It truly lives up to its reputation.

She suppressed the disrespect in her eyes and went to meet her.

"Distinguished guests, Miss Ge Li has been waiting for you. Please follow me inside."

Upon seeing the respectful maid, Chris felt a little embarrassed and made a show of tidying her appearance.

But he didn't forget to glare at Wayne again.

That fierce little look in his eyes seemed to be a warning to him: wait until you get back and settle the score with him.

Therefore, Wayne also suppressed the smile on his lips.

Following the maid through the gilded and dazzling lobby, Wayne suddenly asked, "Do you have any guest rooms here?"

The maid hesitated for a moment, but still answered, "Yes."

Chris wrinkled her nose. "What? You have a home but don't want to live there, so you want to live here?"

After being bluntly rebuked, Wayne awkwardly tried to save face, saying, "I was just... a little curious."

He would never admit that for a split second just now, he actually had that thought—

What would it be like to live here with Ge Li?

A bittersweet feeling welled up inside him, and Wayne's smile faded.

On one hand, I feel sorry for Geli, but on the other hand, I feel sorry for Chris.

He has entered a dilemma, unable to move forward yet unwilling to retreat.

Seemingly noticing that his spirits had suddenly dampened, Chris bit her lower lip and leaned over to take his hand.

Wayne's heart skipped a beat, and he almost instinctively wanted to let go.

—If Ge Li sees her, she will be sad.

However, at this critical moment, he managed to barely retain his basic rationality.

It's not just because we can't hurt Chris... at least we can't hurt her in such a cruel way.

And it's already too late.

When Ge Li saw the two people approaching hand in hand, his gaze paused slightly, lingering for a moment on their intertwined hands before casually looking away.

"You two are really slow," she said coldly.

When the girl stared at him just now, Wayne felt as if he had been pierced through the heart by an extremely sharp arrow.

Why am I such a jerk?

Even he himself was puzzled by this.

I initially just wanted the best outcome, but after all the fuss, I found myself heading in a worse direction step by step.

He released Chris by putting the box down.

Although being late was indeed her fault, Klee showed no weakness in front of the "enemy".

"There's nothing we can do about it; the important people always make their appearance last," she said.

Ge Li sighed, patted her skirt, and stood up.

A black slip dress was very thin, revealing a large expanse of fair and tender skin, which was even more captivating under the reflection of the water.

A gentle breeze blew by, causing the hem of her skirt to flutter slightly, making her appear as light as a feather.

Wayne put down his suitcase and looked up, taking in the beautiful scenery before him.

However, he quickly concealed the look of amazement on his face.

"So—Miss Chris, can you finally tell me the question now?"

Beside the clean and tidy pool, Ge Li walked barefoot to Chris.

The two were very close, like two lotus flowers blooming side by side by the water.

Even though he knew rationally that it was unlikely, Wayne was still a little afraid that the two of them would start fighting on the spot, so he quickly stood in the middle to separate them.

“As per Miss Ge Li’s request, we did not bring anyone else with us,” Wayne said, trying to smooth things over.

"Moreover, the location was indeed as Miss Ge Li requested, at your family's private swimming pool."

"Therefore, Miss Ge Li should also listen to Chris's requirements regarding the competition content."

With his back to Chris, Wayne kept giving Gollie meaningful glances.

Chapter 240 Her love wasn't intense.

In a one-on-one ultimate showdown, Wayne shouldn't have been a third party present.

But... Chris's magic power is too weak.

If you come alone, you probably can't even guarantee your basic personal safety.

After all, the Wincher family and the Edgeworth family do not have a relationship that they can trust each other.

So, after obtaining Goth's consent, Wayne insisted on joining the match—as a spectator.

However, at this moment, he, as an observer, felt more anxious than anyone involved.

He felt like he was being violently pulled in two different directions by two large trucks.

The fact that they've managed to stay in business this long without any mishaps is already a testament to their exceptional luck.

Seeing his guilty look as he kept giving him meaningful glances, Ge Li chuckled and said, "Of course I will keep my promise."

"But, if someone loses later, they shouldn't go back on their word..."

Spurred on by Ge Li, Chris indeed stepped into the trap, confidently saying:

"Of course!"

"This is also what I wanted to say to you."

She still thought her plan was foolproof.

"Well then, let's begin." Ge Li sat back down on the rattan lounge chair with an indifferent expression, crossed one delicate foot and raised it, revealing a considerable section of her fair thigh from under her skirt.

"Tell me your question," said the lady from the Ge Li Hotel, whose robes were unusually revealing today.

Just looking at her alluring appearance, Wayne felt his own body starting to feel hot.

But he quickly looked away.

Staring at the clear water, Wayne tried to imagine just how many ducks could swim in such a large pool at the same time.

—No matter what, there shouldn't be a problem with several thousand, right?

While Wayne was trying to distract himself, Chris, who was completely absorbed, didn't notice much else.

She was immersed in the joy of the impending victory.

Finally, finally this day has come!

Chris's voice was filled with barely suppressed excitement:

My topic is—

“Paint a picture at the bottom of the pool,” she announced.

After speaking, Chris looked at Ge Li's expression with a smug look, trying to see some kind of shock on her face.

Unfortunately, no.

Although Ge Li's first reaction was somewhat different from what she had imagined, her tone of response was indeed as dissatisfied as expected: "Didn't we agree that it would only be limited to water sports?"

"Huh? When did you say that?"

Mentioning this prerequisite, Chris chuckled inwardly. "You must have misremembered!"

"Back then, you just invited me to play in your pool, right?"

She seized on the loophole in Ge Li's statement and argued, "Therefore, you only specified the location as a swimming pool, but you did not specify whether it had to be in the water."

"As for other requirements... naturally, they fall under my purview."

This was the method of confrontation that Chris had carefully considered and chosen.
