Despite the topic being revolved around the young man inside her home, Snow Moon didn’t actually realize this until they’ve reached this part. Stunned in the eyes: “Sister Yi Yi, are you saying that Bai Xiao inside is the one you like?”
“You can say that,” Chu Yi Yi rubs her chin before narrowing those eyes in against the young girl, “but you mustn’t tell him this, otherwise…. I won’t let Huang Xiao Ying help you anymore.”
“I see, don’t worry I won’t tell anyone, especially Sir Xiao.” Snow Moon didn’t get frightened by the warning tone, rather got all cherry and made a zipping gesture around the lips to emphasize her will to keep quiet.
Chu Yi Yi had already liked this lovely lass from the start and only stayed distant due to that rude older sister. Now that she’s able to meet her crush as well thanks to this chance meeting, her tone naturally returned to a softer one instead of the displeased version from earlier: “You are a good child. Can you tell me what’s the deal with your family clan? Why is your father forcing him to become your older sister’s husband?”
Snow Moon puckers her lip into a frown at the mention: “My family has a Millennium Ice Lotus in our possession before and it took your friend Sir Xiao as its host by coincidence. Father believes he will become a great individual in the future because of that reasoning, hence his insistence on the marriage arrangement. But my sister Lotus, she…. she has someone else she likes already.”
A Millennium Ice Lotus? What is that? How come I never heard of that before? Chu Yi Yi rubs her chin at the odd name.
“Oh right, the one my older sister like is my big cousin Wen Yi. But I never did like that guy since I was young, I find him far too fake with that pretentious face of his.”
“Are they really cousins?” Chu Yi Yi stares in surprise, “I heard close relatives becoming a couple will have a higher chance of producing defective children!”
At that moment all three eyes fell33 upon her.
“Who told you such nonsense? How come I never heard of such a thing?” Lan Xiaoyun cuts in with her skeptical voice.
“I agree, I’ve never heard of these things either so it mustn’t be true.” Huang Xiao Ying also nodded in agreement. Her tiger clan has plenty of their members partnering with close relatives, if it spread that their offspring are defective for this reasoning then it would be a scandal!
“It’s Bai Yan who told me this.” Chu Yi Yi blandly answers, her voice deadpan and flat.
Without surprise, that causes Lan Xiaoyun to loosen her frowning face: “If it’s my cousin who said it then it must be true! Ms. Moon, you should tell your older sister this, otherwise their children will become defective in some way when born.”
“I agree,” Huang Xiao Ying nods her head proudly for some reason, “out of consideration for your love for the Three Stripe Tiger, I suggest you stay away from that cousin of yours lest he gets funny ideas about you afterwards. I will also tell my father to mandate distancing of close relatives in marriage arrangements.”
“……”
Chu Yi Yi forced a hard look at this tigress due to the quick turn of attitude.
That’s not what you said just now.
Snow Moon also became dumbfounded due to the lack of integrity about where these girls stoo. She’s simply never seen anyone changing their attitudes so quickly!
“No matter who your older sister likes, my cousin Xiao Xiao won’t be marrying her regardless,” Lan Xiaoyun bites down on her lip at the remembrance of the past, “no one can force that guy into anything if he doesn’t will it.”
