Chapter 13: The Little Bun Really Is a Little Glutton

He could only seek Yun Wanyao’s consent.

But how could Yun Wanyao agree?

The entire Da Wu Country knew she was going to be Princess Qi, and now suddenly she’s asked to step aside—how could she bear this shame?

Besides, King Qi’s new love is her elder brother’s fiancée, even if she didn’t care about her face, the Duke Mansion certainly did.

She had to consider the Duke Mansion.

So, Yun Wanyao stubbornly refused to call off the engagement and began to blacken, madly targeting the heroine, embarking on the path of a malicious supporting female character, successfully causing her own downfall.

But now, she actually hasn’t agreed to King Qi’s proposal.

How could this not shock Yun Wanqing?

Yun Wanyao: "..."

The Book Traveler must be like a little sister, an outsider who knows everyone’s fate, but what is reincarnation?

Just what kind of strange words are stuffed into my little sister’s head?

How can she spend all day with such wild thoughts?

Lady Yun glanced at Yun Wanyao, her eyes flickering slightly.

According to Xiao Si, Yao’er was supposed to agree to King Qi’s proposal, but now her behavior has deviated from ’the storyline.’

Thinking of her own experience, she instantly thought of a possibility.

Could it be that Yao’er can also hear Xiao Si’s heart?

If that’s the case, then it’s much easier to handle.

"Hmm, Yao’er handled this well. Although you were betrothed to King Qi by the late emperor, marriage is ultimately a major life event that should be discussed with your parents."

Yun Wanyao nodded, extremely well-behaved, saying, "Mother is right, that’s what I thought too."

"Good, your mother will discuss it with your father."

Seeing her daughter being so obedient, Lady Yun smiled with satisfaction. She lightly grasped Yun Wanyao’s hand, her expression instantly filled with reluctance.

"However, Yao’er, since Chen’er hasn’t married yet and you’re still young and not an adult, your mother’s intention was to keep you for a while longer. After your coming-of-age ceremony, we can then discuss the proposal with King Qi. What do you think?"

The best plan she could think of, as mentioned in Xiao Si’s Heart, was to delay since the heroine would have an encounter with King Qi in seven days.

Since Chen’er was still away for treatment and hadn’t returned for a long-time, using Chen’er as an excuse should help extend the time by a few months.

"Yao’er will listen to her mother. Whatever mother arranges, Yao’er will do accordingly."

Since Mother could hear the little sister’s heart, today she deviated from the ’storyline,’ and her mother must have also guessed that she could hear the little sister’s heart.

So Yun Wanyao wasn’t planning to keep pretending in front of her mother; between mother and daughter, there’s no need to disguise and deceive each other.

It’s just that this layer of glass hasn’t been shattered yet.

[Not bad, not bad, this direction is very nice.]

[Sister broke the plot, and with Mother’s arrangement, the proposal matter can be completely avoided.]

[Her marriage with King Qi also won’t be hotly discussed again because of the extravagant betrothal gifts.]

[Even if the male lead changes his heart and wants to break the engagement with Sister in the future, it won’t be blamed on Sister or our Yun Family. Sister can just quietly be a beautiful and innocent victim.]

With a creak, the door opened, and Yun Zheng strode in.

"Father."

Yun Wanyao quickly stood up, smiling at him.

"Has King Qi left?"

Mentioning this person, Yun Zheng’s mood, which had just been improved by Lady Yun, worsened again.

Yun Wanyao acknowledged with a hum and asked curiously, "Did something happen? Why do I feel like Father is in a bad mood?"

She astutely sensed that when Father mentioned ’King Qi,’ his face darkened visibly, with a hint of gritting his teeth.

Could it be that King Qi angered Father?

Or is it that Father can also hear the little sister’s heart like them?

"It’s nothing, just some vexing matters in the barracks, not worth mentioning."

Yun Zheng quickly forced a couple of laughs, a smile on his face. If Yao’er could hear the little sister’s heart too, she’d probably already be suspicious of him.

Alas, sometimes having clever kids in the family isn’t always a good thing.

He walked over to the beauty couch by the window in large strides, bent down and picked up the little baby who was making bubbles unintentionally.

"Xiao Si, let Daddy hold you; I haven’t held Xiao Si today. Tell Daddy, did you miss him?"

"Yiya~"

[I did, I did. Daddy’s embrace is so comfy; remember to hold me every day, okay?]

[Hmm, it’d be best if you told me about interesting things outside; eating and sleeping all day is making me so bored.]

[When will I finally grow up?]

[I want to go to the night market, eat lots of delicious food; drinking milk every day is bland to the point of boredom.]

[Sob, I want to eat spicy hot pot, grilled skewers, spicy crayfish...]

As Yun Wanqing thought more and more about food, she couldn’t help but swallow, and before she knew it, drool slipped out again, amusing Yun Zheng.

Pfft, the little baby is not only a money-grubber but also a little foodie, listen to that long list of dishes.

But then again, apart from the lamb and duck necks, he, the great Duke Ning of Da Wu Country, hasn’t heard of any of those dishes.

Still, they sound delicious, and it’s no wonder the little baby was drooling; he almost started drooling himself.

At the side, Lady Yun and Yun Wanyao were also amused by her. The little baby truly was a little glutton, but unfortunately, she could only drink milk now, such a hard time for her.

In the afternoon.

Several young servants banded together to the Duke Mansion to deliver messages from their masters, seeking an audience with Second Young Master Yun.

"Father, Mother, I’m going out for a while, don’t wait for me for dinner."

Yun Wanye chuckled and greeted his parents, then dashed to the bedside to scoop up the little baby, planting a big kiss on her cheek.

The young man wore a dark blue robe, his long black hair like ink, brows and eyes like a painting, features delicate and stunning, practically bewitching.

Yun Wanqing, a sucker for good looks, instantly had eyes shining with admiration, staring straight at her brother, screaming praises wildly in her heart.

[Ahhh, what a peerless beauty is this?]

[Second Brother is so handsome, too bad there’s no internet here, otherwise I’d definitely open a livestream for him, let all the sisters around the world feast their eyes.]

[No, no, no, Second Brother is this handsome, being the dream guy of both men and women—his popularity shouldn’t be limited to just us girls.]

[Quick, quick, give me some internet, I want to benefit all humanity.]

Next to her, Yun Wanyao curled her lips as she looked at Yun Wanye, seriously doubting this guy dressed up like that on purpose to show off in front of little sister for compliments.

What a show-off.

Yun Wanye didn’t understand what the internet, livestreaming, or dream guy meant, but he understood the compliment about his unparalleled beauty from the little sister.

Flattered, he curled his lips, happily saying, "Little sister, Brother is going out to play, I’ll bring you something fun when I get back."

[Wait, how did I get so caught up in admiring Second Brother’s looks that I forgot such an important thing.]

[Upon receiving the news of Mother going into labor, Second Brother took leave from the barracks to be with her, and once his group of fox friends and dog friends found out, they arranged to take him out today.]

[Second Brother has always loved to play, but the problem is Second Brother isn’t having a lucky day today.]
