Chapter 228 - 98: Arm Binding Gold

With those words, she didn’t even glance at Pei Yu’s expression and turned to leave.

Just as she stepped out of the door, she saw Yun Wanyao in the corridor. Housekeeper Liu hurriedly approached to greet her.

"Miss has arrived."

"Hmm, Uncle Liu, is Brother Pei inside?"

"Yes, he is~"

The housekeeper smiled, then suddenly thought of something and curbed his smile to move closer to Yun Wanyao, intending to give a reminder.

However, before he could speak, a man’s delighted voice came from behind.

"Yao, you’re here."

The housekeeper sighed, could only swallow his words, and shook his head saying, "Miss, this old servant has other things to attend to, so I’ll take my leave."

"Alright."

Yun Wanyao responded, lifting her head to see the fervent gaze of the man, his eyes unblinkingly fixed on her.

Tsk, he makes his affection so obvious, yet she hadn’t noticed at all before.

How foolish she was.

If not for her little sister’s telepathic hints, she might never have realized it.

After all, they each had marriage engagements. How could she have imagined that he, knowing she was destined for Prince Qi Mansion, would still like her?

"Brother Pei."

Yun Wanyao’s expression suddenly changed, filled with delight as she looked at him, a touch of a young girl’s shy bashfulness gracing her face.

This demeanor made Pei Yu’s blood surge instantly, his throat dry, and he nearly couldn’t speak, his eyes wishing they could glue themselves to her.

Could Yao looking at him like this mean she likes him too?

[Ah, indeed, my spiritual power can currently only extend two miles outward, can’t even manage half a mile.]

[But two miles is about enough, just enough to see the show here.]

[Is the guy in front of sister Pei Yu?]

[Look at that guy’s demeanor, his eyes practically glued to my sister, tsk, really an eyesore.]

Yun Wanyao: "???"

Are these the thoughts of her little sister?

Has her little sister arrived?

She instinctively turned to look around, only to see the surroundings sparsely populated except for a few busy servants, without the sight of Yun Wanqing.

What’s going on? Her little sister isn’t nearby. Why can she hear her little sister’s thoughts?

"Yao, what are you looking for?"

Pei Yu took a step forward, looking at her curiously. Yun Wanyao frowned, about to speak, when Yun Wanqing’s thoughts continued to echo.

[Yeah, what is sister looking for?]

[Could it be that her system sensed my spiritual power?]

[Should I continue watching?]

[Whatever, let’s gamble, after all, I’m already here.]

[If sister’s system can truly sense my spiritual power, it might have sensed it long ago. Retracting now is too late, might as well keep watching.]

[I want to see how sister, having been reborn, will deal with this guy.]

[This guy brought a gift for my sister this time.]

[He led troops to break through a city in Xuan Country, capturing many items. Among them, he kept an exquisitely crafted pair of Arm Binding Gold to gift sister, claiming it’s an early coming-of-age gift.]

[The gift seemed justified, so sister accepted it, not expecting it would become a blade against her in the future.]

[At the start of collaborating with the female lead, to separate sister from King Qi, he flaunted to King Qi, claiming sister accepted his affection long ago.]

[King Qi was not entirely disheartened with sister then. Provoked by him, King Qi almost hated sister for her disloyalty and betrayal.]

[Subsequently, when he consorted with Su Qianxue, he felt justified, his last bit of guilt towards sister completely erased by this guy.]

[...]

Listening to the childish inner voice, Yun Wanyao frowned, a myriad of speculations rising in her heart.

Her little sister should be in the nanny’s room, but even from this distance, she can hear her thoughts. Could it be that whenever her little sister’s spiritual power touches them, they can hear her thoughts, no matter the distance?

This is just too incredible.

"Yao, what’s wrong with you?"

Pei Yu frowned, looking at her with concern.

Earlier, she was looking around as if searching for something, and didn’t answer when asked. Now she’s even quieter, not saying a word, something is clearly amiss.

What happened?

Why did she suddenly change?

When he saw her just now, she was bashful and delighted.

Yun Wanyao came back to her senses, slightly shaking her head, and softly said, "It’s nothing, Brother Pei, when did you return to the capital?"
