My older sister is a villainous rich girl.

In the end, Wayne bought the ugly brown bear.

I don't know if it's because the world's design and aesthetic standards haven't developed yet, but most of those handmade gifts aren't very attractive.

Ge Li clapped her hands lightly, and an unassuming bald man emerged from the crowd and bowed to her.

"Send this doll to the Duke of Winchester's mansion."

"Yes."

Without saying a word, the big man picked up the packed gifts and ran away in a flash.

Seeing Wayne staring blankly at the retreating figure of the giant, Ge Li explained, "Actually, this shop offers delivery services, but my entourage is faster."

However, despite this, she did not help out of kindness.

Ge Li also had her own little thoughts that she didn't want to share with outsiders. She really wanted to see what kind of expression Chris would have when she saw that Wayne's gift was delivered by her own servant.

She must be furious, feeling like she's lost to me, right? Given her spoiled nature, she might even throw a huge tantrum.

Thinking of something amusing, her thick, long eyelashes narrowed slightly, like a little fox secretly laughing.

"No, I was just a little surprised that the big man was hiding in the crowd."

Wayne was completely unaware of Goth's sinister intentions.

"I am the daughter of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and my family is very wealthy, so naturally I have to be careful." Ge Li rolled her eyes at him.

The gift was ready. After a long pause, Ge Li said in a low voice, "As for the musical instrument, that's easy. Our club has a custom-made manufacturer we work with, so I'll pay for one for you. In exchange—"

"Don't worry." Wayne gave her an "OK" sign. "In exchange, I will definitely find out His Highness's preferences."

"Of course, if you need any advice in the future, you can come to me privately. No one would ever guess that I, from the Winchester family, would be acting as your love strategist." Wayne sold out the prince without hesitation.

This was the first time he had encountered such a gullible and naive sheep, so he had to make the most of it.

It's good to be rich; if you have money, you won't feel guilty about asking for exorbitant sums.

"I was actually thinking about how to work part-time to save up some money on my own, but I never imagined a rich woman was right next to me. I was so stupid."

To be honest, in that instant he had already thought of at least seven or eight plans for how to spend money when he had it in the future.

With time to spare, the two, each with their own ulterior motives, strolled through the market streets, touching this item and looking at that decoration.

Wayne keenly observed that although Ge Li had previously seemed to disdain those handmade trinkets and toys, he actually adored them, even lingering on them for a while when his gaze swept over them unintentionally.

He realized after a moment's thought that she was just being stubborn in front of Chris.

It's unclear what grudge or grudge exists between these two. They seem to be at each other's throats, but their methods of confrontation are rather low-level and ineffective. At first glance, they seem to have a bit of a bickering couple dynamic.

Ge Li felt a chill run down his spine at the sight of Wayne's benevolent, fatherly expression. He glared at him and threatened, "You better not try anything funny. If your methods don't work, I'll make you pay!"

"...Even a god can't guarantee that the prince will fall in love with you 100%!" Wayne protested righteously. "Relationships between people are a long and arduous battle. As long as there's even the slightest positive change, that's a victory, understand?"

Perhaps it struck a nerve, for the girl nodded with a somber expression: "That's true."

They really are surprisingly gullible.

These feel-good stories are so utterly meaningless; anyone who believes them is doomed. In his heart, Wayne silently lit a candle for the doomed love of Ge Li.

No, no, no, you still need to have confidence. If you don't believe in yourself, how can you convince others to believe?

Wayne tried his best to think positively.

Perhaps, that prince wasn't a normal person?

He's definitely not normal. Who would fall hopelessly in love with someone just because they think, "You're an interesting woman, you've successfully caught my attention!"

And His Highness, who seems to be the epitome of perfection, is precisely that kind of person.

When Wayne saw this, he almost wanted to vomit blood.

However, that's not important. The first prince doesn't have much screen time in the animation. Instead, Wayne is really into Chris's "sincere bond" with the original female lead. He can't help but press the pause button every ten minutes or so, then lie on the bed and curl up like a caterpillar.

We'll definitely meet again someday, Tasia.

While Wayne strolled along, lost in thought, on the other side, Ge Li stopped in front of a medium-sized theater and couldn't move.

[A love story between a prince and a noblewoman—written by the up-and-coming playwright Pokran—will premiere tonight in the capital!]

Seeing Ge Li staring at the poster on the billboard, the maid who had been silent until now suddenly stepped forward and subtly reminded him:

"Miss, you have a tea ceremony class scheduled for tonight, so you may not have much time."

……

The Duke of Winchester's House.

Chris sat in her study, staring intently at the plain white paper on the table, as if trying to see a flower bloom in it.

Although it was just a rough sketch, the meaning it conveyed was very clear, and the words her two henchmen had said not long ago came to mind.

"Money and hoe: represent the desire to save money; cute big doll: represents a gift for a girl; heart pierced by an arrow: represents love at first sight."

"In short: I need to work hard to save money to buy a gift for the girl I fell in love with at first sight."

"Smack!" Chris shoved the note under her fingers.

"Calm down, Chris!" she muttered to herself. "Sometimes what you see isn't necessarily the truth, and we're all still young. You never know what the future holds."

Perhaps one day Geli will stop liking Prince Richard? Perhaps one day Wayne will stop liking Geli?

Even if we take a step back, don't we still have ourselves as time travelers? We must fully trust the initiative of this butterfly within us!

Inhale, exhale.

Chris tried her best to calm her turbulent emotions.

"Young Miss," a maid gently knocked on the door, "Miss Gothley of the Edgeworth family has sent a gift, supposedly from Young Master Wayne. Would you like to take a look?"

This...this...

Let's organize our thoughts now:

Wayne wanted to give Golly a gift → Wayne went out with Golly → Golly sent someone to return Wayne's gift to the Duke of Wincher's mansion.

Chris covered her eyes, unable to bear reading any longer, as if she were seeing a soul howling in anguish upon learning the truth.

"Hide the gift," she said firmly.

"……what?"

The maid outside the door looked bewildered.

"Do it right now! And absolutely do not tell Wayne; just pretend it never happened!"
