Chapter 476 - 226: Confession

This guy, how is he so good at guessing?

I just casually asked a question, and he guessed the truth. Ugh, I don’t want to talk to him anymore.

"Tsk, just by looking at you, I know I guessed right. So, what exactly are you guilty about?"

Yun Wanye snorted, squinting as he scrutinized her.

Yun Wanyao: "..."

What could I be guilty about?

It’s naturally about the Emperor visiting her chamber at night.

This matter was caught by my little sister, and she’s quite perceptive. So, when she woke up early, she couldn’t help but start overthinking, wondering if our parents know about it.

If they do know, what would their reaction be?

The more she thought about it, the more anxious and uneasy she became, reluctant to step out.

But she knew clearly that since things had come to this, there was no way to avoid it. So she plucked up the courage and, with trepidation and guilt, came to Wan’an Garden.

She was ready to face the consequences, yet the anticipated scenario did not occur.

Of course, that’s only because the little sister hasn’t woken up yet and doesn’t mean she won’t have to face it.

Sigh...

Yun Wanyao sighed silently, filled with melancholy. It would be great if her little sister could forget about that matter.

"Boring."

Snapping back to reality, Yun Wanyao rolled her eyes indecently, ignored Yun Wanye, and sidled up to Lady Yun, quietly whispering in her ear.

"Mom, what exactly is the mission this time? Have you asked Yun Wanye?"

Lady Yun: "..."

Uh, she forgot.

"I haven’t asked yet."

She replied softly, and Yun Wanyao was slightly stunned, her eyes showing some disbelief.

Such an important thing, and Mom hasn’t asked?

Alright then!!!!!

She looked at Yun Wanye and said, "Come here, I have something to ask you."

Yun Wanye chuckled and said, "You don’t answer my questions, so what makes you think you’re entitled to ask me?"

Yun Wanyao: "..."

She gritted her teeth, then walked over and unceremoniously grabbed him by the shoulder.

"I have something important to ask."

"Don’t ask, even if you do, I won’t tell you."

Yun Wanye replied with a fake smile, raising an eyebrow and lazily looking at her.

Isn’t she just trying to ask about the mission?

Does she really think I can’t guess it?

His refusal was so straightforward that Yun Wanyao was stunned, glaring at him angrily.

"Yun Wanye, why are you like this? Can’t we get along?"

"Shh, keep your voice down. Little sister is tired, don’t disturb her sleep, or don’t blame me for hitting you."

He curled his lips, smilingly warning, looking like a wolf in sheep’s clothing, making Yun Wanyao so angry she wanted to burst.

Yet she had to admit, he made a valid point.

Little sister doesn’t lack sleep; on regular days, she’d already be up and about. But today, despite all the commotion she made, little sister still slept soundly. It showed that entering the dream last night really wore her out.

Yun Wanyao silently closed her mouth.

In the afternoon, the sun was warm.

Yun Wanqing finally woke up, but she looked wilted like a frost-hit eggplant.

As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw three heads of varying heights, all gathered around her, blocking her vision completely.

Yun Wanqing blinked and lazily looked at them.

"Little sister, you’re finally awake..."

Yun Wanyao lowered her head, happily kissed her face, and then called for a maid to bring milk over.

While she instructed the maid, Yun Wanye also came over, lying by the pillow, his refined handsome face shoved in front of Yun Wanqing.

"Little sister, you’re finally awake. Where do you feel uncomfortable? Quickly tell your second brother."

Yun Wanqing blinked and, upon reacting, mustered the energy to push his face away, her dark, clear eyes showing a hint of disdain.

Her voice was still soft, yet it was filled with a lack of energy.

[Stay away from me, you’re so close, I can’t breathe fresh air.]

Yun Wanye: "..."

"Ooh, second brother loves you so much, how can little sister dislike second brother? Second brother is really heartbroken."

He pretended to be sad, deliberately clowning to amuse her. Yun Wanqing, having exhausted her spiritual power, wasn’t in high spirits and felt his voice was just noise, exceedingly annoying.

She frowned, showing discomfort in her expression.

[Second brother, let me have some peace. My head hurts, it’s so uncomfortable.]

Upon hearing this, Yun Wanye’s expression changed sharply, just about to say something, before Yun Wanchen beside him grabbed him by the collar and pulled him off the bed.

"Stop it, I can see little sister isn’t feeling well. Let her have some quiet time."

"Okay, I understand, big brother."

Yun Wanye obediently got off the bed, feeling deeply guilty.

Sigh, he knew little sister wasn’t well, why didn’t he think that she couldn’t stand the noise?

Considering Yun Wanqing’s current condition, Yun Wanye didn’t intend to reveal the matter of hearing inner voices just yet.

This is something extraordinary, and if she knows, her emotions surely won’t be calm. And in her current lackluster state, it’s not suitable for her to know this.

He thought it’d be better to talk about it once she’s recovered.

However, Yun Wanqing couldn’t wait.

After having some milk, she forced herself to focus, gazing at Yun Wanye.

[Second brother, didn’t I already tell you the mission in the dream? How come you don’t seem to care at all?]

[This mission’s level of difficulty is so high, how can you still be so at ease? Don’t you care about the system and props at all?]

[Or do you really not believe those missions are real?]

[I’ve sacrificed so much, don’t let my effort go to waste!!!]

[...]

Seeing her unwell yet so worried about this, Yun Wanye turned to Yun Wanchen for guidance, Yun Wanchen pursed his lips, thought for a moment, then slowly nodded.

From an unnoticed angle by the two, Yun Wanyao’s eyes rested on Yun Wanye with confusion and discontent.

Indeed, little sister had already told him the mission, so why wasn’t he busy deploying, but instead staying at home?

"Little sister, second brother isn’t indifferent, nor does he disbelieve those things are real. Second brother has already sent people to keep an eye on things, and second brother definitely won’t let your effort be wasted."

With Yun Wanchen’s approval, Yun Wanye gently touched Yun Wanqing’s head, his eyes warm and smiling at her.

Boom...

It was like several claps of thunder bursting open.

Yun Wanyao and Yun Wanqing widened their eyes in shock, looking at him.

This this this...

Is there something wrong with her ears?

How did she hear Yun Wanye openly responding to little sister’s words?

Isn’t this the same as directly telling little sister that he can hear her thoughts?

For such a big deal, how did Yun Wanye dare to do it?

Who told him to do this?

Do mom and dad know?

Isn’t he afraid that once dad finds out about this, he’d flay him out of anger?

Yun Wanyao was flabbergasted, her mind in a mess, unable to recover for a long time.
