Chapter 76

I stared at the radiant beauty before me, wiping away the cold sweat. Perhaps because of the fright from Chi Yeon riding his horse, I was speechless for a moment.

My aunt hurriedly dismounted and came to my side. After making sure I was alright, she glared at Chi Yeon with her beautiful eyes, a hint of anger in her brows: “Chi Yeon, what are you doing?!”

Chi Yeon dismounted and slowly took off her riding clothes, revealing her beautiful figure.

Chi Yeon was wearing only a white sleeveless vest on her upper body, revealing her snow-white shoulders and arms, with delicate and lovely skin.

Chi Yeon smoothed her long hair, which was tied in a ponytail, and said with a slightly nonchalant expression, “A grown man, can you scare him with such a small gesture?”

My aunt frowned, clearly dissatisfied with Chi Yan’s answer. Just as she was about to speak, Chi Yan suddenly looked at me and asked with a smile, “Lin Yuan, did I scare you?”

I calmed my nerves and forced a smile: “No, Sister Chi Yeon.”

I dismounted, grasped my aunt’s hand, and smiled, “Auntie, I’m fine, don’t be angry.”

To be honest, if a horse is galloping towards you at full speed, I doubt many people could ignore it and remain calm.

My aunt glared at me again, but my words silenced her anger, leaving her with nowhere to vent it.

Chi Yan suddenly chuckled and said, “I say, Aunt, although Lin Yuan is your nephew, I am still your niece. Lin Yuan said that everything is fine, so you can’t be too biased.”

Hearing this, the aunt glared angrily at the woman who was only three years younger than her, her voice laced with sarcasm: “Oh, now you know I’m your aunt? How rare! Have you ever treated me like an aunt?”

Ike Yeon tossed me the riding clothes from the horse. I hadn’t expected her to do that, and I caught them in a bit of a panic, but luckily I didn’t drop them on the ground.

Holding the knight’s uniform in my hand, I could faintly smell a pleasant fragrance. The inside of the uniform was slightly warm and damp, still soaked with my cousin Ikeyeon’s body heat and sweat.

Chi Yan laughed and said, “You’re only three years older than me, do you really want me to treat you like an aunt?”

My aunt narrowed her beautiful eyes slightly and said in a domineering tone, “So what if I’m three years older? I’m still your aunt even if I’m three years older!”

I was used to the relationship between the two. My aunt and Chi Yeon were about the same age, and I remember that they often quarreled and fought since they were children.

While the two were bickering, I took a closer look at my cousin Chi Yeon, whom I hadn’t seen in a long time.

Chi Yeon’s appearance and temperament are somewhat cold and aloof, quite different from the girlish fragility she had before going abroad.

She had delicate, crescent-shaped eyebrows, phoenix eyes, and a high, well-proportioned nose. Her exposed, pale skin shone brightly in the sunlight, making her quite pleasing to the eye. Her beautiful eyes always unintentionally revealed a sense of aloofness and detachment, making her already cold and elegant temperament even more aloof.

Cousin Chi Yeon inherited the tall stature of the Chi family. Even though she was wearing flat ankle boots, she still looked to be 1.75 meters tall.

The figure beneath the tank top is alluring and mature, especially those long, straight, slender yet shapely legs, tightly wrapped in skinny jeans, outlining curves that are nothing short of exquisite, making it hard to look away.

I admired the beauty before me with pleasure, feeling fortunate—the women around me, whether related by blood or not, were all impeccably beautiful, and their figures exceeded my aesthetic standards, all being tall with long legs.

Whether it’s my mother, aunt, sister, or Chen Xiao, Chu Ning, Song Yu, and now my cousin Chi Yan, they are all exceptionally beautiful, and none of them are less than 1.7 meters tall, perfectly matching my aesthetic standards.

Chi Yeon, who was bickering with her aunt, turned her beautiful eyes and asked me with a playful expression, “Is it pretty?”

I smiled calmly and said, “She’s beautiful. Are there any women in the Chi family who aren’t beautiful?”

“Um?”

Cousin Chi Yeon raised an eyebrow slightly: “Then who’s prettier, me or your aunt?”

My whole body tensed up. Why is it this deadly question again?

You know, her aunt had just asked her and her mother who was prettier that morning.

I squeezed my aunt’s hand: “Of course they’re all beautiful.”

My cousin Chi Yeon wasn’t about to let me off the hook, and kept pressing me, asking, “There must be one that’s even prettier, tell me.”

My aunt glanced at me lightly, and although she didn’t say anything, the meaning behind it was self-evident.

I gave an awkward smile and changed the subject: “Sister Yeon, when did you come back to China? I didn’t know anything about it.”

“I’ve been back in the country for a few months.” Chi Yan waved to stop the two sparring partners from getting close, and then said to me, “You’re a very busy person, it’s normal that you didn’t know I was back in the country.”

I smiled wryly and said, “Sister Yeon, please stop teasing me.”

Chi Yeon said, “I wouldn’t dare make fun of you, after all, you’re our family’s top student~”

I laughed it off and said, “No, no, compared to you, a top student who studied abroad, I’m nothing.”

Chi Yan glanced past her aunt and came to stand in front of me. Her beautiful eyes looked me up and down for a long time before she suddenly reached out her slender, fair hand and patted my cheek. She chuckled and said, “As expected of your aunt’s son, you’re quite handsome.”

I smiled faintly and said, “Although my surname is Lin, I still have half of your Chi family’s genes. Besides, my Lin family’s genes are also excellent, okay…”

Upon hearing this, Chi Yeon raised her long eyebrows and joked with her aunt, “When are you going to have a son as handsome as him?”

My aunt rolled her eyes and said impatiently, “Get lost!”

Chi Yeon shrugged: “You’re really boring.”

Her aunt glared at her: “You were being mean!”

“Alright, alright, stop arguing.”

I mediated: “Isn’t there a banquet tonight? Let’s hurry up and get ready to leave.”

Okay then~

Chi Yan responded and said to her aunt, “You’re the star of the night, so you’d better dress up nicely.”

“I’m beautiful even without makeup!”

Chi Yan’s eyes held a hint of provocation: “Even Lin Yuan doesn’t admit you’re the most beautiful, how dare you say you are?”

I felt as if dark clouds were gathering overhead, and I had a premonition of impending doom.

Cousin Chi Yeon walked ahead, continuing to stir things up: “There can only be one truly beautiful woman, but unfortunately, in Lin Yuan’s eyes, we both seem equally beautiful. Tell me, are you the most beautiful?”

My vision went black, and I was speechless.

Sure enough, the next second my aunt glared at me and pinched the soft flesh on my waist, twisting it hard all the way around.

Ah~

I cried out, “Sister Chi Yeon, please stop talking! You’re making Auntie angry, but I’m the one who’s going to suffer!”

…

Arriving at the parking lot, I gazed at the black G63, which resembled a steel behemoth, and then at the aloof and tall Chi Yeon, and couldn’t help but ask, “Chi Yeon-nee, is this your car?”

Chi Yeon patted the car body: “What, is it not allowed?”

Looking at the G63’s imposing and rugged appearance and its wild and unrestrained style, I suddenly felt that the car’s style matched Ike Yeon quite well.

But I can’t quite put my finger on where it’s paired.

“Get in the car!”

I went to the back seat, and my aunt sat down right next to me.

Chi Yan put on sunglasses and patted the steering wheel: “Qing Qiu, aren’t you going to sit in the front?”

My aunt grabbed my arm: “I’m not going to sit with a stinky woman like you.”

“Tch~”

With the roar of the engine, like the howl of a beast, the steel behemoth beneath him galloped out.

I looked at my cousin Chi Yeon, who was driving, and remembered the way she had just ridden her horse at full gallop.

A beautiful woman riding a fine horse and a pretty girl driving a Mercedes-Benz G-Class seem to have the same appeal…

Chi Yeon’s voice was clear: “I’ll go back and change my clothes first.”

My aunt yawned, resting her head on my shoulder: “No rush.”

As the car drove along the roads of Wanghai City, I put my arm around my aunt’s soft waist and looked out the window at the passing vehicles. A great sense of satisfaction welled up inside me.

Men, what they pursue is nothing more than luxury cars and beautiful women.

I gently smoothed the stray strands of hair from my aunt’s forehead and asked softly, “Are you tired?”

My aunt slightly opened her beautiful eyes, looking languid. She stretched one of her fair, lotus-root-like arms out of the window, and on that slender, fair wrist, she wore a warm-colored, crystal-clear white jade bracelet, which complemented her smooth and delicate wrist.

I held my aunt’s other slender hand, our fingers intertwined, and whispered, “The bracelet is beautiful, and it suits you perfectly.”

My aunt’s eyes crinkled slightly at my words. She raised her pretty face, kissed the corner of my lips, and said softly, “Everything you gave me is beautiful.”

My aunt’s actions made my heart tighten. I glanced at Chi Yeon, thankfully she didn’t notice.

I lowered my voice: “Don’t you even know who sent it?”

Chi Yan’s voice suddenly rang out: “You two are really mushy.”

I glanced at her nervously, feeling cold sweat trickling down my forehead, worried that she might have seen my aunt kiss me.

But after saying that, Chi Yeon stopped talking and her expression behind her sunglasses was not visible.

The aunt in her arms had a calm expression, her eyes were slightly hazy, and she seemed to be sleepy. She seemed not to have heard what Chi Yan had just said.
