My Inner Thought is Exposed! The Villain Family Defy Their Fate!-Chapter 21: Little Sister Seems Quite Happy to Meet Her Brother-in-Law

Chapter 21: Chapter 21: Little Sister Seems Quite Happy to Meet Her Brother-in-Law

Lady Yun quickly avoided Yun Zheng’s gaze, blushing as she nodded.

"Alright, then let’s wait for Chen’er to return first. I’ve already written a letter to Seventh, and by the time Xiao Si’s full month banquet comes around, they should have returned."

In the afternoon, Mo Yuanhao visited again.

As before, it was at the Huajian Pavilion where Yun Wanyao met him with a complicated mind.

In the bedroom, Lady Yun leaned on the chaise by the window, watching Yun Wanye playing with Yun Wanqing in his arms.

"Little sister, King Qi is here. You surely don’t know him. Let your second brother tell you, he is Yao’er’s fiancé and will be your brother-in-law in the future. When your full month banquet comes, second brother will take you to meet him."

"Even though you’re still little and can’t understand what second brother is saying, it doesn’t matter, second brother just loves talking to you."

Yun Wanqing looked at him with disdain.

[Who doesn’t understand the conversation? I can understand, I can understand.]

[And as for that King Qi, how could I not know him? He’s the male protagonist of this world, definitely not my brother-in-law. Second brother, let’s not mix up relations.]

[Alas, poor sister, still being tormented by him. But since the proposal hasn’t succeeded, it would prevent many future troubles.]

"Oh, little sister seems very happy to hear about meeting the brother-in-law. Our little sister is so adorable that King Qi will surely like you."

[Not happy at all, second brother, can you not put labels on me? You can’t just misinterpret me because I can’t talk.]

[Moreover, I don’t care for King Qi’s affection, for he is a foe to the Yun Family.]

Looking at the little bundle’s angry eyes, Yun Wanye could barely contain his laughter, though he tried to hold it back on his face.

Oh no, oh no, little sister is indeed so interesting.

If she knew that many in their family could hear her inner voice, what would she think?

Yun Wanye suddenly felt very expectant.

"Yao’er, how did that matter I spoke with you last time turn out?"

In the back garden.

After a bout of affectionate gazes, Mo Yuanhao cut straight to the point with a smile.

This matter couldn’t tolerate any muddling through, Yun Wanyao’s eyes flickered slightly, a faint guilt appearing on her face.

"Yuanhao, I’m sorry."

Upon hearing this, Mo Yuanhao’s eyes flashed with brief surprise. He raised an eyebrow and scrutinized her, pondering for a moment before speaking in a deep voice, "What do you mean by that, Yao’er?"

He never expected issues to arise with the proposal he initiated with her.

"Big brother’s legs haven’t healed, and the Su Family has other thoughts; there may be changes in the marriage."

"And I’m still young, haven’t undergone the coming-of-age ceremony, so my mother hopes we can wait until my brother returns this time, settle his marriage first, and then discuss ours."

Yun Wanyao lifted her head, her beautiful eyes filled with apology and anxiety as she looked at him.

"Yuanhao, I’m sorry, it’s all my fault; I couldn’t convince my mother."

Mo Yuanhao understood and sighed a little relief, the next moment, the corners of his lips curled into a handsome smile.

"I see, Lady Yun’s words make sense. Brother Ming Yue’s marriage is indeed more pressing than ours. This was my lack of consideration; Yao’er, you needn’t blame yourself."

It was his eagerness to marry her that overlooked other issues, not her fault.

However, this also means his marriage might be delayed. But since Lady Yun said so, he couldn’t be too forceful, which was a headache.

"Yuanhao, you’re so good~"

Yun Wanyao’s eyes shone brightly as she looked at him, filled with undisguisable admiration and delight as if she were looking at the finest man in the world.

This look pleased Mo Yuanhao, causing his troubled mood to improve significantly.

"Since I’m so good, why do I not see any gesture from Yao’er? Could it be Yao’er is just saying it?"

His gaze was warm upon her, a hint of darkness flowing within, making Yun Wanyao blush. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

After a moment of hesitation and with a heart filled with nerves, she glanced around, realizing they were alone, then shyly threw herself into his arms, gently wrapping her arms around him.

"Yao’er being so forthcoming is too much for me to refuse."

Mo Yuanhao laughed softly, embracing her, pretending to be humble while feeling a great sense of satisfaction.

Little did he know that as soon as the girl in his arms embraced him, her face immediately lost its shyness and joy.

She pursed her lips, her beautiful eyes sadly downcast, with a touch of sorrow on her face.

They had reached a point where they needed to act.

She played weak, acted innocent, played troubled, all for the sake of delaying the proposal.

Even now, she didn’t believe he would soon fall for another woman and grow tired of her, but she dared not gamble, and couldn’t afford to.

The price of her little sister’s inner truth was too hefty; she couldn’t bear to fall to such a pitiful end herself nor drag the Yun Family down with her.

Thus, she could no longer interact with him as purely and innocently as before.

Seeing off Mo Yuanhao, Yun Wanyao, weighed down by worries, returned to Wan’an Garden.

"Has King Qi left?"

Seeing her return, Yun Wanye poured a cup of tea, pushing it over with his fingers.

"Mm."

Yun Wanyao nodded in response, walked over, and sat beside him, unceremoniously drinking the tea he poured.

Seeing her unrefined demeanor, Yun Wanye’s lip twitched hard.

Who could have thought the Duke Ning Mansion’s eldest daughter, King Qi’s betrothed by the late Emperor’s decree, would disregard her image in private, lacking any grace of a noble lady.

"Where’s little sister?"

Yun Wanyao placed the teacup down, indifferent to his disdainful, speechless gaze.

After all, having grown up together, she had long been used to it.

"Asleep, mother is with her."

Pouring another cup of tea for her, Yun Wanye suddenly recalled something, lowering his voice with meaningful intent.

"By the way, though you and King Qi are engaged, you two haven’t married. Meeting so frequently like this isn’t very appropriate, is it?"

"If word gets out, your reputation would be completely ruined; then, what would people think of you?"

He couldn’t fathom what Yun Wanyao was thinking.

Based on his observations, she surely could hear little sister’s inner voice, aware of the so-called ’plot,’ knowing her and King Qi were doomed for no good end, yet she showed no aversion in distancing herself from King Qi.

Could it be, she didn’t believe in little sister’s inner voice?

But he had personally verified it; little sister’s voice was spot on, unquestionably correct.

And her last time’s delay was also because little sister was right, which planted concerns in her heart, wasn’t it?

Then what’s going on now?

Unable to grasp Yun Wanyao’s thoughts, Yun Wanye felt inexplicably irritated.

If she indeed had her heart set on King Qi, at least tell him, so he could make comprehensive plans, eliminate any potential mishaps, and secure her marriage.

Yet he still felt the King Qi in little sister’s inner voice was utterly rotten, unworthy of marrying a daughter of the Yun Family.
