Sister-in-law? What was that supposed to mean? This was getting a bit absurd! But it seemed like his sister really knew something.

However, knowing her personality, he couldn’t directly ask her and expect to get a straight answer. He had to fish for information using her own words.

Taking a deep breath and gritting his teeth, he calmly said, “Yes, I’ve seen her.”

〚 Oh, snap snap! Take a picture and let me see. I want to see what my future sister-in-law looks like! Um… I also want to see you two kissing~ 〛

Chen Ling: ??? I should probably give her a couple of slaps. She’s not learning good things at such a young age.

Though he thought that in his mind, he still said, “Ahem, you want to see, huh? Okay, but I have a condition.”

〚 Hehe? 〛

His sister chuckled lightly, and even without seeing Chen Ling, he could imagine her mischievous expression.

〚 You want to know why we all know except for you, right? 〛

〚 I won’t tell you~ Gee, gee, gee~ 〛

Sigh~ Chen Ling helplessly closed his eyes. He couldn’t help but want to scold her whenever he talked to her. But he held back his temper.

From what she said just now, Chen Ling obtained some information. His sister hadn’t met Sui Li’er, but their mother and father definitely had. That meant she only knew what their parents had told her.

In that case, it made things easier.

Chen Ling sneered and said, “Do you think I’m the only one being kept in the dark? Don’t forget, you can’t escape from their personalities either, so don’t worry.”

〚 Huh? What do you mean? 〛

His sister’s tone changed.

〚 Are you saying that I’ve also been kept in the dark? 〛

Chen Ling smiled and said, “Well, I have a picture of your future husband here. Do you want to see it? Mom and Dad also told me some things about him. Do you want to know?”

Chen Ling was just bluffing his sister. There was no such picture.

〚 You’re lying! I don’t believe you! 〛

Chen Ling sneered and said, “Believe it or not, it’s up to you. Hang up, because once we part ways, there won’t be another chance!”

〚 Daddy! Wah~ Brother said you arranged a husband for me! I don’t want it! I want to be with you! 〛

Chen Ling: ??? You can’t handle this! So you’re going to tattle to Dad!

At that moment, his father, Chen Xing’s voice came from the other end:

〚 NM… Uh! Your mother is really beautiful! 〛

Chen Ling: …

Then his dad, Chen Xing, paused and shouted coldly: 〚 Chen Ling! 〛

“Goodnight.” Chen Ling hung up the call directly. He also enabled message blocking.

His sister’s call kept ringing incessantly. She dialed again and again, and Chen Ling knew it was his old man calling. He absolutely couldn’t answer.

“Sigh~ This girl really annoys me!” Chen Ling was really upset with his sister.

“What’s wrong? Did you have an argument?” Sui Li’er asked with some confusion.

Chen Ling glanced at her and shook his head. “Nothing.”

He then contemplated the conversation he had just had with his three family members, trying to find a trace of information from it.

When he tricked his sister earlier and she went to their dad, she mentioned the word “arrangement.” It was a word that she said unconsciously.

She could have used other vocabulary or sentences to express that statement.

In other words, the word “arrangement” could very well apply to Chen Ling as well.

All of this was orchestrated by his own parents. But no matter how he thought about it, it felt unbelievable. How did they manage to do it? The most outrageous part was his sister directly calling Sui Li’er “sister-in-law.” Were they all prophets or something?

What gave them the right to determine the future and be so certain that he would end up with Sui Li’er? This made Chen Ling curious. Was his future truly predestined? What would he be like in the future? Would he be a god in a dimension, together with Sui Li’er? Or would they travel the world together?

Anyway… Sui Li’er was most likely unable to escape, right?

“Um…” Sui Li’er spoke up suddenly when she noticed Chen Ling seemed lost in thought. “Were you talking about me just now?”

Chen Ling glanced at her and thought to himself: Is she really my future wife?

Ahem, actually, when I think about it, it doesn’t sound too bad…

But Chen Ling brushed off the thought and focused on his own future. Would he become a god in a dimension or a traveler of dimensions? He decided to ask his mother about it when the time was right.

Seeing him lost in thought multiple times, Sui Li’er remained silent this time.

Chen Ling snapped back to reality and asked, “What did you say just now?”

“Oh, I asked if you were talking about me with your sister earlier.”

After considering it for a moment, Chen Ling decided not to tell her about it for now and simply said, “No.” He then continued walking forward.

Sui Li’er quickly caught up and reached out her hand, using the “holding hands” skill.

Chen Ling hesitated for a moment, inwardly questioning: Are you really my wife?

When Sui Li’er saw his lack of response, she shook her small hand and said, “Hey~”

Chen Ling gently held her hand.

She immediately smiled brightly,”Hee~ hee.”

As Chen Ling held her hand again, for some reason, he felt a little embarrassed.

“Oh, Chen Ling, what’s your sister’s name?” Sui Li’er asked.

“Chen Ling.”

“Huh? Chen Ling? Are you two namesakes?”

Chen Ling shook his head and said, “No, I am ‘Ling’ of ‘Lingyun,’ and she is the digit zero in capital form. My father’s name is Chen Xing, and my mother’s name is Zero (Ling) . That’s why we are named Chen Ling and Chen Ling.”

Sui Li’er: ???

“Wait a minute… Let me think…”

Sui Li’er pondered for a moment and asked in confusion, “Then how do your parents usually call you two? Isn’t it easy to get confused?”

Chen Ling smiled and replied, “My mom calls me ‘Chenchen’ and my sister ‘Lingling.’ My dad also calls her ‘Little Ling.'”

Upon hearing this, Sui Li’er chuckled softly and said, “Oh~ that’s interesting.”

“So, what does your dad call you? ‘Little Chenchen’?” she asked.

Chen Ling’s face darkened after hearing that and he shook his head. “You’ll find out later. Uh, no, you don’t need to know what he calls me.”

He couldn’t tell Sui Li’er because his dad called him a derogatory term!

Damn it…

“Okay then~” Sui Li’er said.

Then Chen Ling spotted a children’s clothing store and stopped in his tracks.

“What’s wrong?” Sui Li’er looked at him in confusion and followed his gaze, her hand trembling slightly. Her face immediately turned red and she asked, “Wh-what’s the matter?”

Chen Ling suppressed a laugh and said, “Let’s go inside and take a look.”

“Ah~ I don’t want to!” Sui Li’er quickly held onto Chen Ling’s hand. “I’m an adult, I refuse to go in!”

Chen Ling couldn’t hold back and burst into laughter. “Hahaha…”

“What are you laughing at? Wait a minute! Can you read minds? How else would you know I wanted to go to the children’s store?”

Chen Ling pretended to be calm and said, “No, I guessed. You were too obvious.”

His explanation was likely to be believed by Sui Li’er, especially since she had already tested him a few times before. She confirmed that he couldn’t read minds.

“Then should I go in and buy something for you?”

“No! I don’t want to wear children’s clothes!” Sui Li’er suddenly became stubborn.

Chen Ling chuckled and said, “How about I personally sew one for you?”

Sui Li’er: ??? Why would you know how to sew?

Blushing, she replied, “No, there’s no need.”

Chen Ling chuckled softly and said, “I won’t sew it even if you want me to. Keep dreaming!”

Sui Li’er was rendered speechless by his words.

Chen Ling then tugged her hand and walked straight toward the children’s store.
