Chapter 47: Charming Sister-in-Law

During the kiss, Chi Yingyu deliberately made a “mua” sound. It wasn’t loud, but between the two of them, it was unmistakably clear.

Even if Jiang Lai was slow to catch on, she couldn’t ignore that her little sister-in-law was blatantly taking advantage of her.

Jiang Lai, feeling a slight sense of crisis, covered her head and quietly shifted to the other side of the sofa.

She recalled all the strange things she’d noticed before, and in an instant, everything clicked together in her mind.

Jiang Lai lowered her hand from her head and pulled her little sister-in-law, who was still standing dazedly in front of her, down to sit beside her.

Next, she wanted to have a private talk with her little sister-in-law.

“Yingyu, there are some things I’ve never told you, because I always thought we were equals. You’re my little sister-in-law, my wife’s younger sister, so I never placed myself in the position of an Elder.”

Jiang Lai had never seen herself as any kind of authority figure.

Even when her daughter was disobedient, she always tried to persuade her with words, never putting on an annoying air.

So when the time really came for an Elder to guide those around her, Jiang Lai was experienced enough with others.

But the one before her was her own family, her wife’s younger sister, the little sister-in-law she’d relied on for years.

All Jiang Lai could do was try her best to take on a gentle image, recalling her mother’s demeanor in her mind and slowly learning bit by bit.

“This time, Yingyu, just treat what I’m about to say as advice from an Elder, all right?”

Chi Yingyu could feel that, at this moment, her brother-in-law was radiating a motherly warmth, gentle and comforting, like winter sunlight shining down on her, making her feel so cozy.

Inwardly, the little sister-in-law couldn’t help but notice how soft her brother-in-law’s small hand was. Smiling, she looked at her brother-in-law in this new, gentle state.

“Brother-in-law, go ahead… I’ve always listened to you.”

“It’s just… do you like girls?”

Jiang Lai didn’t know how long she’d been mulling over this question before finally saying it.

\Once she did, before Chi Yingyu could even react, Jiang Lai herself already felt embarrassed.

Her little sister-in-law was such a perfect woman—surely she had plenty of admirers. Yet, from what she knew, Chi Yingyu had almost no suitors.

Other than herself, there wasn’t a single man around her little sister-in-law.

And a few days ago, the only man around had already turned into a woman, so now, everyone around her little sister-in-law was female.

Considering how, after she became a woman, her little sister-in-law had been so indulgent and affectionate toward her, especially with ambiguous behavior like just now, Jiang Lai couldn’t help but wonder.

She’d already come up with a reasonable explanation for her little sister-in-law’s actions in her mind.

It might sound a bit conceited, but after decades without a relationship, her little sister-in-law must have been holding back for a long time.

Now that she’d become such a beautiful woman, it was like being a walking temptation, constantly swaying in front of her little sister-in-law. That was a dangerous thing.

But as her little sister-in-law’s brother-in-law, Jiang Lai had to show maturity and stability in this wavering situation.

“I’ve watched you grow up since you were little, but you’ve never dated anyone, and you don’t have many friends. I’ve seen all of this.”

As she spoke, Jiang Lai’s voice grew hoarse, and a thin mist appeared in her eyes again.

“I know that all these years, because of me, you’ve been delayed, and you’ve put in so much effort because of my shortcomings.”

It was the first time Chi Yingyu had heard her brother-in-law say such things. Was this what her brother-in-law had been thinking all these years?

“This was my own choice, and it’s what I wanted to do. It’s not like you delayed me in any way, brother-in-law.”

“But if I had been a little more capable, I wouldn’t have let you shoulder so much.”

Jiang Lai said these words out of heartache for Chi Yingyu. Back then, she was just an underage girl, even younger than Jiang Lai’s daughter was now.

At that time, Jiang Lai herself was only in her twenties, still a young man, so she hadn’t thought much of it.

But looking back now, her little sister-in-law had taken on so much at such a young age.

“I want your happiness more than anyone. So, no matter what you want to do, no matter who you like, I’ll support you.

Don’t think I’m some old-fashioned fossil who doesn’t understand anything.

I do go online, and I’m actually pretty open-minded about this.

If you like girls, you don’t need to worry about my opinion. Just go after whoever you like.”

“Rather than whether I like girls, I’m more curious about what you actually understand, brother-in-law?”

For over ten years, Chi Yingyu had watched her brother-in-law day after day, observing everything about her.

But in the end, she didn’t have mind-reading powers—she couldn’t tell what her brother-in-law was really thinking.

Everyone is their own person, with a thousand thoughts in their hearts. Chi Yingyu was greedy; she wanted to know what her brother-in-law was thinking every single moment.

Jiang Lai had always behaved so properly, as if she’d never be involved in anything out of the ordinary. But now, it turned out her brother-in-law had a side she’d never discovered.

Maybe Jiang Lai was even more perverted than she imagined, lonelier and more empty inside.

After all, her brother-in-law was a normal person. Any normal person would have physical needs.

Over these ten years, when her brother-in-law couldn’t help herself, how did she deal with those urges?

Chi Yingyu felt herself growing more and more twisted, even fantasizing about which hand Jiang Lai would use, what props she might use, or whether she just held it in and ended up having some kind of spring dream.

“That’s not the point…”

Jiang Lai really thought her little sister-in-law’s focus was strange. Why was she so concerned about how she knew all this?

Meeting her little sister-in-law’s gaze for just a moment, Jiang Lai looked down, her fingers unconsciously tucking a few strands of long hair behind her ear to hide her blushing face, and hurriedly explained, “It’s just… so many videos pop up by chance, that’s how I know. So there’s not really a big gap or generation difference between us. If there’s anything you want to talk about, you can always come to me.”

“So that’s how it is～”

Of course, Chi Yingyu didn’t believe her. With such a flustered look, how could she possibly be telling the truth?

She couldn’t help but part her lips, moving closer. In her eyes, there was a shimmering light, her emotions unclear—whether it was desire or affection, at this moment, it didn’t really matter.

The little sister-in-law gently took Jiang Lai’s hand, placed it against her own cheek, and planted a flirtatious kiss in Jiang Lai’s palm.

Her voice was so soft and intimate it could melt someone’s bones, as she pitifully pleaded.

“Brother-in-law, you’re so beautiful like this, so beautiful that I want to do you.”
