My older sister is a villainous rich girl

He paused, taken aback.

Then, she reached out and rubbed her cheeks.

Since you made the choice yourself, you can't look too upset.

...The fact that things turned out this way was something we had anticipated from the very beginning.

He used this reason to convince himself to suppress his frustration.

But when he came out, he glanced casually at the other side of the pool and didn't see a particularly tragic scene of carnage.

Chris stood resentfully beside the wicker chair, holding up an exquisite fan to fan Goli, who was reclining on the chair with his eyes closed, taking a nap.

There was no physical contact between the two.

For some reason, Wayne breathed a sigh of relief, and his mood lightened considerably.

He still didn't go over, but instead jumped into the pool.

Beautiful splashes of water rose from his side, their translucent color shimmering in the sunlight.

The cool pool water temporarily banished his chaotic thoughts, and he stayed far away on the other side of the pool, entertaining himself.

He would only glance at Chris occasionally when he looked up.

Chris, dressed in a very revealing maid outfit, fanned Gore for a full hour.

Ge Li kept his eyes closed the entire time, as if he were asleep.

An exceptionally long hour passed.

Wayne dried himself off, changed back into his old clothes, and walked over to remind them at just the right moment.

"Time is up."

Upon hearing this, Chris didn't want to linger for a second longer. She immediately threw the fan in her hand onto the table and rushed towards the dressing room without looking back.

Wayne looked away from her and glanced at Goli.

Ge Li, who seemed to be asleep, suddenly opened his eyes.

She looked at him with a cold gaze.

Wayne felt he should say something now.

"I'll be going back soon."

He regretted it as soon as he said it.

Because he saw that Ge Li's eyes suddenly reddened.

He clutched the towel in his hand, somewhat at a loss.

—Well, we've already come this far.

"I'll come see you again tonight," he whispered.

However, this statement seemed to provoke Ge Li.

She suddenly sat up, grabbed Wayne's hand, and pulled him down.

Wayne frantically braced himself against the sides of the recliner, barely managing to maintain his balance, but her neck was hooked around his, and her soft lips pressed against his.

On the recliner, the two were making out in a very indecent position.

……no.

If you stay here, Chris will see you.

He tried to break free, but Ge Li clung to him desperately, and he couldn't bear to hurt her by moving too hard.

already.

There's no going back now.

However, just as he was bracing himself for Chris's cleaver and began to cooperate, Ge Li released him.

“Take your Chris and get out of here,” she gasped.

Fortunately, the black slip dress, which was already quite revealing, was made of a soft material, so even if it got messed up, the marks weren't very noticeable after some tidying up.

Wayne stared at her silently for a while, then quietly got up and moved a little distance away.

Once their breathing had calmed down, Chris happened to come out of the dressing room.

The timing was perfect.

If it had been any earlier, we probably would have witnessed the worst possible scene.

Wayne turned his head to look at her face and gave a bitter smile.

Seeing Wayne waiting obediently outside, Chris suddenly felt very wronged.

"let's go."

She ignored Ge Li and pulled Wayne away.

The two left the Edgeworth family's private pool and returned to the Duke's mansion in a Wincher family carriage.

Chris kept rubbing her wrist the whole way.

However, instead of launching a scathing attack on Gothias as Wayne had anticipated, she simply turned her head to look out the window on the other side of the carriage, seemingly lost in thought.

Wayne leaned over, took her hand, and gently massaged it.

"What are you thinking about?" he asked.

Chris was slightly taken aback.

"I was thinking about that painting..."

After a long pause, she finally spoke up: "Indeed, I still can't believe that the painting was done by her."

Wayne's hands moved without any hesitation.

"I feel so too."

With Wayne's approval, Chris became a little more cheerful.

"Right? Without accumulation, even the greatest talent cannot make a qualitative leap in such a short period of time."

Over the past decade or so, there has never been any indication of any merit in Ge Li's painting skills.

She even had the audacity to say something like: she disdains to show her true strength at ordinary times.

Even I have never been this arrogant.

"...No, I have to find a chance to have her draw another one on short notice."

Chapter 244 Wayne will not fail at such a trivial matter!

This Saturday, Chris suffered an extremely crushing defeat.

Furthermore, they kept their promise and carried out the punishment that losers deserved.

Even so, she still seemed unwilling to accept the final outcome, rubbing her hands together, ready to launch a counterattack at any moment.

Sensing something amiss in her tone, Wayne's brain immediately went on high alert.

At that time, once Chris discovers that Ge Li's actual painting skills are not as high as they seem...

She couldn't help but wonder if her plans had been precisely leaked.

Danger Zone Warning!

Wayne quickly changed the subject: "By the way, Chris... Mr. Modric sent someone to inform us that the publishing house has been renovated and preparations are almost complete, and asked when we would be free to go and take a look."

When it came to serious business, Chris, just as he had expected, couldn't care less about Ge Li.

"Great!" she exclaimed excitedly, slapping Wayne's thigh.

Startled by the sudden attack, Wayne instinctively flinched.

Let's go tomorrow!

She turned to face Wayne directly, her eyes sparkling as she looked at him.

Chris had high hopes for this matter.

The enormous amount of money she invested in the early stages was an expense that most aristocratic families could not afford.

If Chris hadn't used her family's business association to start a high-end toy brand and accumulated a considerable fortune over the years, she probably wouldn't be able to manage things so effortlessly.

Realizing there was a slight questioning tone in her eyes, Wayne smiled and said:

"If you want to go, then let's go together."

"—No matter where you go, I will go with you."

Chris pursed her lips, as if she was suppressing a laugh or looking a little disgusted.

She turned her back and leaned back into Wayne's arms.

I don't know if she's being awkwardly coquettish.

Wayne casually put his arm around her slender waist and gently wrapped his arms around her soft belly.

“Remember this forever,” Chris said.

"Ah."

"If you break your promise, I'll kill you." She said this in a very casual tone, as if it were something very serious.

So cruel!

But at times like these, you absolutely cannot hesitate!

"……Um."

He agreed.

……

Back home, the two fooled Mrs. Ashville by saying they were going out to play in the water.

As expected, Chris was once again given a stern lecture by her mother.

"Chris!"

Look at yourself now—

Ashville's expression was cold.

"You have absolutely no ladylike manners! If you continue like this, how will any young nobleman ever like you?"

However, Chris remained sprawled on the sofa like a salted fish, completely lacking in decorum.

She dismissed her mother's alarmist remarks, saying, "It's okay! I have Wayne."

Wayne, who was sitting next to her, was taken aback at first, but then couldn't help but laugh.

Does this mean their official status is completely confirmed?

Hearing her shameless remark, Ashville's words, which she hadn't yet managed to utter, all stuck in her throat.

After holding it in for a long time, she finally said, sounding quite speechless, "Even if you're married, you can't be so willful and reckless!"

"Oh dear, Mom... what are we having for dinner tonight?"

Chris clearly didn't listen.

She got up, grabbed Ashville's arm, and used her charm to forcibly pull her away.

Watching Chris drag Ashville away, Wayne shook his head.

Although her mother appeared strict, her influence on Chris was negligible.

Every time he gets angry, it's all bark and no bite.

Chris only needs to act cute a little to soften her heart.

That's true...

If it weren't for her parents' unconditional pampering, Chris might not have had such a notorious reputation for being "lawless."

Thinking about this, Wayne fell into deep thought.
