Dongfang Huai Zhu hadn't expected her little sister's appetite to be so big. She wanted a gift as incredible as the Fire Phoenix's, too. Wasn't that asking the impossible?
Worried that Wang Yue might misunderstand her, she didn't bother holding back and immediately protested, "A divine creature like the Fire Phoenix is hardly easy to find! Don't make things difficult for your brother-in-law!"
Only after she'd said it did she realize what had slipped out. Blushing, she quickly turned away and hurried off toward Divine Fire Villa.
Dongfang Qin Lan hadn't expected Wang Yue to refuse her. Instead, her sister had objected first. She pouted and complained, "Sis, could you two have made such quick progress without me? You can't just cross the river and tear down the bridge!"
After saying that, she turned to Wang Yue and asked excitedly, "Brother-in-law..."
Dongfang Guyue, of course, understood what his daughter wanted to say. He grabbed Dongfang Qin Lan by the collar and carried her off.
He felt that his younger daughter needed a proper lesson. How could she just ask someone for things like that? Dongfang Huai Zhu wasn't even married to Wang Yue yet.
If word got out, Divine Fire Villa would be utterly disgraced.
Even after her father caught her, Dongfang Qin Lan still wasn't satisfied. She forcibly twisted her little head around, her two cowlicks bobbing as she shouted excitedly, "Brother-in-law, don't forget!"
Wang Yue couldn't help but laugh at his future sister-in-law's antics. Still, the Fire Phoenix was incredibly appealing, especially to a child like Dongfang Qin Lan. It was only natural.
Seeing the excitement in her eyes, he smiled and nodded. "Don't worry. I'll find you something fun later."
Only then did Dongfang Qin Lan contentedly cling to Dongfang Guyue's arm as he took her away
