“Miss Lichie, you might not know, I was abandoned by my family and sent to Berren City. The reason I didn’t abandon the surname ‘Roswell’ is for a very practical reason—because this surname can make money.”

Avena said sincerely, “Moreover, Ciel is now a Senior Consultant for Ansu’s largest conglomerate, Deton Group. And I am just a down-and-out noble who is about to go bankrupt. I don’t think status is an issue...”

“As for my family... They have never had the right to restrict me or tell me what to do. It was like this in the past, it is like this now, and it will be like this in the future.”

Lichie felt her eyes spinning like mosquito coils. She was a little dizzy.

And Ciel, at this moment, was also clinging to the edge of the table with her hands, peering out half her head. Her eyes were nervously darting between Avena and Lichie.

Ciel had never expected that Avena, who was so shy and reserved about relationships, would be so bold in this aspect.

Avena wanted to come with her and talk to her sister because she wanted to get her sister’s permission, permission for her marriage proposal!

At this moment, Lichie’s feelings were also very complex.

She found it hard to accept the fact that her sister was suddenly being proposed to. Although she had imagined this countless times in her mind before, she had even truly thought about her sister getting married.

For example, would the other person be a handsome young man, would they be hardworking and capable, would they be considerate and gentle, and how could she verify if the other person truly cared for Ciel...

But she never expected that the “handsome young man” she imagined proposing to her sister wouldn’t appear. Instead, it was a noble, dignified, and beautiful young lady—this strong contrast made her want to pinch her face to see if she was still dreaming.

But after Lichie calmed down, she began to carefully consider her goals and what Avena had said.

Her goal, from beginning to end, was to help her sister escape a life of hardship like her own, to make her happier and live a better life. It was for this that she worked hard.

And now, her sister had also graduated and even found a job that sounded very impressive. And she even had a very, very excellent person who loved her...

Did she want to see her sister live a specific life like getting married and having children? No. She just wanted her sister to be happy.

If this could make her sister happy, then gender actually didn’t seem that important.

Right now, what she was most worried about was actually the issue of status disparity.

Lichie was worried about whether her sister truly loved the other person, and whether that seemingly very strong-willed young lady would bully or let down her sister.

Lichie looked at Ciel and asked softly, “Ciel, I want to know your thoughts... When you are together, does she bully you?”

As long as her sister said she was being bullied, she would not hesitate at all. She would give that young lady a punch and then take her sister away.

And Avena, beside her, listening to Lichie’s words, lightly pursed her lips...

Bully Ciel... me?

I wish I could bully her...

At this moment, Ciel also knew she couldn’t hide anymore. She stood up, walked to Lichie’s side, and said, “Through this period of time, Avena, just like you, Sister, has become my spiritual support. We truly love each other...”

“As for bullying...”

As if to reassure her sister, Ciel said, “Don’t let Avena’s serious appearance fool you. Actually, she is very shy in private. Just a slight touch and her whole body goes soft...”

“Ciel!”

Avena’s face immediately flushed red. She stared fiercely at Ciel, seemingly using her eyes to warn her to stop talking.

She had worked so hard to establish a reliable and steady image in front of Ciel’s sister. Ciel’s single sentence shattered it. This made Avena both ashamed and angry.

How would Sister Lichie see her after this?

Lichie looked left and right at the blushing Avena and the little Ciel suppressing a laugh, and suddenly smiled with relief.

It seemed that her worries were a little unnecessary... Little Ciel wasn’t the type to suffer losses. It seemed that in this relationship, the one in the passive position was actually that noble young lady.

Lichie reached out both hands, holding Ciel’s right hand on the right and Avena’s left hand on the left, placing Avena’s hand gently in Ciel’s palm.

“Since this is Ciel’s wish... I have no objection,”

Lichie looked at Ciel and said seriously, “Little Ciel, don’t bully her in the future, understood?”

Is this... agreeing?

Avena looked at Ciel before her, her heart pounding. Even though she hadn’t had any alcohol since listening to Ciel, she felt as if she was stepping on clouds right now.

“I’ll try my best.”

Ciel smiled and placed her left hand on Lichie’s shoulder, leaning in and kissing her cheek.

Not bullying... Well, that depends on how fiercely Avena resists.

After instructing Ciel, Lichie looked at Avena beside her and said, “Although I support your relationship... even though the legal marriage age is 12... you and Ciel are probably only around 15 years old. I still hope you can spend more time getting to know each other. After all, you haven’t known each other for very long...”

“Don’t worry, Sister Lichie. For nobles, the most suitable age for marriage is 18. Getting married too early will make others feel too rushed... Please be assured. We will date and get to know each other properly for a while.”

Avena also lowered her head and gently pressed her cheek against Lichie’s cheeks.

Lichie released the hands of the two young girls. She looked at Ciel and Avena, her heart filled with emotion. She hadn’t even noticed that her eyes were already wet.

Ciel had a decent job. Her social status had made a leap that could be called “ascension.” She had also found love. For Lichie, all the hardships she had endured before were worth it at this moment.

However, even at this moment, Avena didn’t forget the main business. Moreover, she felt that this was the perfect time to bring it up.

“Sister,”

Avena directly upgraded her address again and said, “Ciel and I both need to move to Ansu City due to work. Ciel wants you to come along as well... This is not only Ciel’s wish, but also mine.”

“Mm-hmm.”

Ciel also nodded, looking at her sister with anticipation.
