Chapter 491 - 183 Harmony_2
Tingzheng nodded vigorously, "Rest assured, my word is my bond."
Mingzhu hadn’t spoken to Yueyao for two days and was feeling suffocated. She wanted to make up with Yueyao, but the thought of Yueyao criticizing her Brother Xuan as utterly worthless made her choke with anger.
Mingzhu softly said to Bai Yi that as long as Yueyao apologized to her and never spoke ill of Brother Xuan again, she would forgive Yueyao’s rudeness. However, Yueyao completely ignored her and went about her business as usual, infuriating Mingzhu so much that she felt a lump of blood stuck in her chest.
Early one morning, Bai Yi smiled and said, "My lord, Miss Yueyao’s brother, Young Master Tingzheng, will arrive at noon. I have already instructed the Kitchen Maid to prepare additional dishes." It was obvious that Tingzheng’s visit to the villa meant he had something to discuss with the hostess, Mingzhu.
Mingzhu snorted but said nothing else.
Tingzheng arrived at noon. He looked at Yueyao and called out loudly, "Sister." It had been two months since he had last seen his sister.
Yueyao led Tingzheng into the courtyard. The sun had tanned Yueyao, while Tingzheng’s skin was fair and tender, resembling a freshly peeled egg, creating a stark contrast between them.
Mingzhu couldn’t help snickering at the clearly distinct brother and sister. She saw Yueyao every day and felt nothing special, but now, with such a strong contrast, it was hard not to notice.
Laughing heartily, Mingzhu said, "Yueyao, compared to your brother, you look like a piece of charcoal!" Although Mingzhu also sunbathed, she didn’t run up and down the mountains as often as Yueyao, so she wasn’t as tanned.
