“You! My sister hasn’t held a wedding yet!” Guang Yao stared at Murong Yun, how he wished he could shove Murong Yun away, but he knew he was no match for Murong Yun.
“So what we haven’t held a wedding yet? She is my princess-to-be, you know it, I know it and of course she knows it.”
Luo Qianqian found the conversation between the two so childish, ‘and wait, what does Guang Yao mean I haven’t held a wedding for Murong Yun yet, who is supposed to be the bride?’
Murong Xue, who was being neglected the whole time pounded on the table, “Enough, I’m in this room, too. Someone, talk to me please! I know you are all excited to see my sister-in-law, but can I have some attention as well?”
“One second, Xue.” with that Lin Zimo walked to the drawer at the counter, he pulled the drawer open and withdrew some candied fruits, “Here, this is your favorite, I’ve been keeping them for you.”
Murong Xue still had a crush on Lin Zimo, she averted her gaze because she knew she was about to blush, then she acted as if nothing were on her mind and took the candied fruits, “I know you are the best, Zimo.”
No one was even bothered to correct the way Murong Xue called Lin Zimo, they must have had done that multiple times before but to no avail.
Lin Zimo smiled, “Please enjoy, they are still very fresh.”
‘Does this mean I came in perfect timing?’ Murong Xue couldn’t help but over think every sentence Lin Zimo said.
But soon she regained composure and cast a glimpse at Guang Yao, “You must be Guang Yao, the stray… I mean the little brother my sister-in-law has been talking about?”
Guang Yao pretended he didn’t hear the word ‘stray’ and replied casually, “Yes, I’m Guang Yao.”
With that Guang Yao raised his head and looked at Murong Xue, Murong Xue was dumbstruck when she saw Guang Yao’s face, ‘Why does he look awful lot like my sister-in-law? Is it because they have been referring each other as brother and sister? And… and it’s not just the resemblance between their features, it’s about… it’s about the whole aura, especially their eyes, it seems like their eyes could talk to people!’
The more Murong Xue looked at Guang Yao and Luo Qianqian who was also dressed up as a man, the more she found Guang Yao looked like Luo Qianqian. No one in Luo family bear such striking resemblance to Luo Qianqian than Guang Yao, including Prime Minister Luo.
“Geez, sister-in-law, are you sure Guang Yao isn’t your biological brother?” Murong Xue blurted out.
“Why?” Luo Qianqian was a bit dumbfounded.
Murong Yun and Lin Zimo exchanged a look subtly, both of them had noticed that, but they didn’t mention anything knowingly.
Luo Qianqian took a look at Guang Yao, ‘Why would Xue ask me a question like that? I don’t find us alike, not at all.’
Probably this was just like that the old saying in chess, ‘the spectators see the game better than the players’.
Guang Yao had never thought about it that way before either, there was great difference in their social standing after all.
‘Is it possible? Sister is the Fourth Lady in Prime Minister’s Manor, but I… I’m just s stray boy… …’
‘But how come this lady asks us this question… …’
Seeing Luo Qianqian and Guang Yao’s reaction, Murong Xue tried to smooth this over, “I’m sorry, I’ve just blurted out whatever comes into my head.”
On a second thought, Murong Xue found what she just said ridiculous, ‘No way could this stray boy be sister-in-law’s biological brother unless… unless Prime Minister was cuckolded.’
“Xue, you are always like this.” Luo Qianqian said with affection.
“Please don’t be mad at me, and Guang Yao, do you know who I am.” Murong Xue strode to Guang Yao after she gulped down a few candied fruits.
Guang Yao took a few steps back on reflex.
Murong Xue walked closer to Guang Yao, and Guang Yao took a few more steps back… …
“Why are you running away from me? Am I that scary?” Murong Xue was frustrated seeing how Guang Yao tried to keep a distance from her, ‘I know I’m not as pretty as my brother and my sister-in-law, but no way I’m scary.’
“Do you know who I am!”
“You are Princess Eleventh.” Guang Yao knew Murong Xue was Murong Yun’s sister.
“No no no, call me sister.”
Guang Yao wished to be somewhere else, ‘Why is she asking me to call her sister?’
Murong Xue poked Guang Yao with dissatisfaction, “Call me sister already, do you know how many people out there wish to call me sister?”
Murong Xue tagged along this day to meet this little brother Luo Qianqian had been talking about, ‘hmm, you do look tall for a fourteen-year-old, and of course you should call me sister considering I’m about the same age with my sister-in-law.’
“Call me sister, now!” Murong Xue put on a serious face.
“No, I refuse… …”
Murong Xue whined, “Why! I’m definitely older than you! And your sister is my sister-in-law, I’m asking you to call my sister within reason.”
“But I only have one sister.” Guang Yao replied with composure.
‘I only have one sister and her name is Luo Qianqian, I won’t call anyone else sister, even though she is a princess.’ Guang Yao had made it very clear.
“You!” Murong Xue pouted.
‘A pretty face, but a blockhead!’
Lin Zimo dragged Murong Xue away and comforted her, “Xue, Guang Yao is very young and shy, please leave him alone.”
Murong Xue took the candied fruits Lin Zimo offered her and took one more glimpse at Guang Yao, “Zimo, this Guang Yao isn’t as good as my sister-in-law had described.”
‘Yeah, Guang Yao is nothing like what my sister-in-law has said, absolutely nothing, no sweet temper, no cute personality.’
Lin Zimo showed a faint smile, “You~ Guang Yao is only close to Fourth Lady because he was saved by her. Promised me you won’t pester him like this in the future, all right?”
Murong Xue nodded.
‘I was just teasing him, I don’t want to pester him.’
