My older sister is a villainous rich girl

Upon closer examination, it's not impossible. His Majesty the King's wariness of the Wincher family is nothing new, and it's no secret to many.

However, no matter what method is used, a huge price must be paid to completely bring down the Winchester family.

the most important is--

The Winchester family tree cannot fall now.

However, Bulwer shook his head.

“I just don’t think so,” he said in a low voice. “Precisely because the hostility is so obvious, it’s actually less likely. Otherwise, wouldn’t it be a blatant reminder to the other party to be careful?”

"Moreover, the method used is very unnatural."

The three of them discussed it for a long time, but still couldn't guess what the other was thinking.

However, now that we have anticipated further actions from the other side, all we need to do is prepare and be ready to launch a counterattack at any time.

Chapter 475 Final Exam

The original plan was further improved, and the tasks assigned to each person were clearly defined. The discussion among the three came to an end.

"By the way, the children of the Duke of Winchester recently invited me to be a judge for some kind of art magazine they're starting..."

Mrs. Cherry brought up the matter out of a desire to share intelligence with her allies.

"Although I haven't agreed yet, I'm already a little tempted," she said. "I hope it won't conflict with your plans?"

Norman remained noncommittal, but Bulwer couldn't help but remind him, "Before agreeing, His Majesty should know about this matter first."

Mrs. Cherry glared at him: "Do I need you to tell me this?"

Seeing that the conversation had almost ended, Mrs. Cherry picked up her bag, stood up, and took her leave.

Bulwer put his hood back on and prepared to leave.

"Oh, and if you have any plans, remember to let me know first," Bulwer specifically instructed Norman before leaving.

This person's ideas are unpredictable, and I don't want to be tricked by him again.

Norman picked up his cup of black tea with disdain and took a sip.

……

The final exams at Seiki Academy arrived as scheduled.

Tasia was able to take the exam on time because her mother's condition had stabilized. However, given how much her studies had been affected, it was uncertain whether she could maintain her first-place ranking.

Wayne silently submitted his exam paper and left the examination room.

Because of a serious accident that occurred during the midterm exam for the practical course, the school's security measures were significantly strengthened this time, and the course was completed much earlier than originally planned, catching many people off guard.

But magical strength isn't something that can be improved in just a few days. So, after the initial complaints subsided, everyone quickly accepted the harsh reality: those who wanted to cling to powerful figures did so, while those who wanted to give up did so.

Wayne once again carried the entire group to victory.

It's worth mentioning that this time, Tasia finally met some classmates who were eager to team up with her.

Everyone could see Tasia's great strength and gentle personality; in fact, not many people were willing to be blind.

After sitting in the shade of a tree outside the exam hall for a while, Wayne saw Tasia come out of the classroom next door.

When Tasia saw Wayne sitting outside, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.

But she immediately smiled and went up to greet Wayne.

“Wayne, thank you so much for your notes, they’ve been a great help,” she said.

Wayne pretended to be unhappy. "How many times has she thanked me already? If Tasia says 'thank you' too often, it'll make our relationship seem distant."

"Eh?"

Tasia didn't know how to answer that question and pondered for a long time.

"But I really want to express my gratitude..."

Then, as if she had found the answer, she clapped her hands and said, "How about I call you by your name as a way of thanking you?"

"Yes, [Wien] equals [thank you]."

As she spoke, she nodded in strong agreement.

Hey, how am I supposed to look at my own name now?

"...Never mind, don't tease me anymore."

Faced with Tasia's swift and decisive counterattack, Wayne was forced to retreat.

"By the way, how did you feel about the exam?" He also smiled. "I didn't hold back at all, you know? Don't cry if I take first place."

“She definitely won’t cry.” Tasia was speechless.

"...I always felt like I was being looked down upon."

In such a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere, even the rustling sound of leaves seems to have become gentle.

The breeze seemed to carry the scent of sunshine, making one want to prolong the moment and savor the comfort of the feeling.

However, beautiful things are always fleeting.

Tasia only stood under the shade of the tree and chatted with him for a few more minutes. Not long after, she apologized and said that she was worried about her mother and had to leave.

Faced with such a reasonable request, Wayne couldn't bring himself to say that he wanted her to spend more time with him.

So he could only watch her figure gradually disappear into the distance, his heart filled with complicated emotions.

"Sigh..." he sighed softly.

"What? You seem reluctant to part with it?"

A familiar voice suddenly sounded from behind.

Wayne straightened his back instantly and declared righteously, "Absolutely not!"

"I was just worried about my friend's family."

Goece turned around and leaned against the tree trunk next to Wayne.

“Hypocritical,” she commented.

Wayne turned his head to the back at a 45-degree angle to examine Ge Li's little skirt.

“It looks great,” he said.

Ge Li bit her lip. "...You think school uniforms look good?"

"It looks great on you because you're wearing it." He then flashed a very bright smile.

"Humph."

She turned her head away, preferring to look at the fallen leaves on the ground on the other side.

“Don’t smile at me, or I might hit you,” Ge Li said.

"..."

Wayne promptly stopped laughing.

This is too real. Will I have any chance of survival in front of Ge Li in the future?

Neither of them spoke for a moment, and the two spent some quiet time together.

In the end, it was Ge Li who broke this peace.

"Are you very busy lately?" she asked hesitantly.

“I’m really busy,” Wayne stretched. “The kind of person who doesn’t even have time to sleep.”

With various matters converging, he was exhausted both mentally and physically every day.

I wanted to enjoy life in this other world, but it seems like it wasn't any easier than my previous life.

However... in a sense, I've already gotten used to this busy life.

Ge Li seemed lost in thought, and after a long while, he let out a soft "Oh."

Wayne keenly sensed that sense of loss.

"Did you miss me?" he suddenly asked.

"Who, who would want you!" Ge Li suddenly stood up straight from the position of leaning against the tree trunk.

She glared at Wayne without any gentleness and sneered, "Young Master Wayne is a very busy man. He has all sorts of girls waiting to see him every day, and he can't possibly remember someone like me who has long been forgotten by him."

The resentment in his voice was almost overflowing.

With no other option, Wayne got up and pulled her away from the high-risk area where they might be seen by others.

I haven't been pestering Ge Li every day like I used to lately.

It wasn't that he was deliberately ignoring her; it was probably because sometimes he wanted to see her, but he was afraid that seeing her would make her angry.

So before we knew it, we hadn't communicated much for many days.

But such a response would obviously only make her angrier, so it absolutely cannot be said.

Chapter 476 is reliable at times.

The exam is over, so it doesn't really matter if we go back now.

All you need to do is return to the academy in three days for the final ceremony, and then you can happily go out and play.

Wayne led Ge Li to a secluded corner before letting go of her hand.

"I'm really busy, it's not that I'm deliberately avoiding seeing you," he explained earnestly.

Actually, Wayne originally wanted to say something sarcastic—didn't you always complain about me every time I came to your door? Why are you resentful of being ignored now?

But then I thought, given Miss Ge Li's usual arrogant personality, such a strong stimulus might make her so angry that she would explode on the spot.

So he ultimately chose to adopt a proper attitude and explain the situation in a down-to-earth manner.

“What kind of help could you possibly have?” Ge Li seemed unconvinced.

I always felt that... in her mind, I seemed to have left a very wrong impression on her.

Wayne sighed inwardly.

"Behind the seemingly peaceful life, there are actually undercurrents and crises everywhere."

However, since Ge Li was not originally involved in these schemes, Wayne did not want to drag her into it further.

It serves no purpose other than to increase unnecessary anxiety.

"Well, let's just say I've actually been secretly protecting this capital all along." Wayne shamelessly patted himself on the back.

Ge Li was amused by his shamelessness.

"—How interesting. One of the people who used to climb through little girls' windows every night is actually the guardian of the entire capital?"

She retorted sarcastically without any mercy, "Do you think you're Miss Aikos?"

"..." Wayne felt a lump in his throat.

Seeing that he was speechless, Ge Li's mood improved considerably, and he reluctantly let him off the hook, no longer making sarcastic remarks.

“Whatever else you have to do, you must come see me tonight,” she said.

???

Is it really okay to be so proactive?

Wayne couldn't help but move a little closer to her.

"Why must we wait until night?" His voice deepened as he grasped her wrist and forced her against the wall.

"There are no outsiders here, so it's fine—"

"Wait a minute." Ge Li frowned. "You think I only contacted you for that kind of thing?"

Isn't that right?

Wayne paused in his motion of rubbing his nose against her fair neck.

She pushed his head away impatiently, wishing she could pinch his face flat. "I want you to take me out to meet someone."
