The younger sister-in-law’s full name was Luo Yizi.
Her name differed from his wife’s by only one character.
His wife’s full name was Luo Yicheng.
Aside from their names, their appearances and figures were also very similar.
The way to tell them apart was to look for the small mole beside the red lips.
Yet despite looking almost identical, their personalities were completely different.
His wife, Luo Yicheng, had a severe obsession with cleanliness, while Luo Yizi was far more free-spirited and lazy, not caring much about hygiene.
His wife often hid her affection, the classic tsundere type, whereas Luo Yizi would directly speak out her feelings.
Though they were almost opposites, their bond was very deep.
As far as he knew, his wife only appeared to dislike her sister on the surface. In truth, she loved her dearly.
It was only when she learned that her sister had set her sights on him that she became so heartbroken.
He had even once suspected that his wife might not return because she had considered leaving him and giving him up to Luo Yizi.
Luo Yizi did not knock. She pushed the door open and entered directly.
Chen Chang’an stepped out from the room and walked toward her.
Luo Yizi wore a long purple dress. Her hair fell loosely and slightly messy, and her eyes carried a natural laziness.
Her figure was excellent, just like his wife’s, slender yet well-proportioned.
Slim where she should be slim, curvy where she should be curvy, especially the prominent peaks on her chest, standing tall and full.
Her face was flawless, her skin fair and tender, her features delicate and spirited.
“I have matters to attend to outside,” Chen Chang’an spoke first.
He did not blame Luo Yizi. There was nothing wrong with liking someone.
Instead, he felt it was his fault for not noticing her feelings earlier.
If he had sensed it sooner and stopped it in advance, that incident would never have happened.
“You’re avoiding me,” Luo Yizi said.
Chen Chang’an was speechless.
If your sister were here and heard you say that, she would be furious.
“I have no reason to avoid you. I’ve already made it clear. I only see you as a younger sister.”
“I understand. I’m not here because of that. I want to help persuade my sister to come back.”
Luo Yizi let out a sigh.
She knew the trouble she had caused was serious.
When she confessed to Chen Chang’an, it was not because she wanted to compete with her sister for him.
She had only wanted to speak her heart. After saying it, she had originally planned to go somewhere far away and live alone.
But she had not expected her sister to walk in and witness that very scene.
“You know your sister’s temperament better than I do. She said she’ll return in a year. No matter how you persuade her, it won’t work.”
After many days of struggle, Chen Chang’an had already thought it through.
Perhaps it was not a bad thing if his wife did not return.
At least she would not discover that he was going to die.
Even Wu Jianchi had sensed the hidden sorrow within him. Luo Yicheng, who had always been skilled at reading people’s hearts, would find out even more easily.
“You wouldn’t be using this opportunity to separate from my sister, would you?”
Luo Yizi always spoke her mind. She had thought Chen Chang’an would be grateful for her help, but he refused directly. This story is hosted at g.com.
Chen Chang’an’s lips twitched slightly. After looking at her for a moment, he said calmly, “I’m going to die. I don’t want her to know.”
Luo Yizi was a free-spirited person. He knew that even if she learned of his death, she would not drown in excessive sorrow.
So he said it without hesitation.
Besides, she might not even believe him.
Luo Yizi paused for a moment, then said, “A clumsy excuse.”
Chen Chang’an smiled.
As expected, not everyone was like that silly little Huang Jiaojiao.
“Think of it as an excuse if you like. I’m heading out. I don’t know when I’ll return. If anything major happens, contact me through the Sound-Transmission Stone.”
Chen Chang’an started walking out.
But before he had taken two steps, Luo Yizi flashed in front of him, blocking his path.
“When will you die?”
“Half a year. Less than a year.”
“Alright. I’ll see you off then,” Luo Yizi said.
Chen Chang’an was slightly surprised. Did she believe him?
“Good. Is there anything else?”
Luo Yizi hesitated for a moment before saying, “I want to stay here for one day. After tomorrow, I’ll leave for the Azure Nether Minor Realm. I originally thought I would never come back. Since you’re going to die, I’ll naturally return once more.”
Chen Chang’an was unsure whether Luo Yizi truly believed him, but hearing this, he fell silent.
The Azure Cloud Continent was a vast main world, beneath which existed over a hundred small worlds. The Azure Nether Minor Realm was one of them.
“Fine. Stay as you wish.”
Chen Chang’an felt that he absolutely could not live alone with Luo Yizi.
It was too easy for something to happen.
His sister-in-law had a strong personality. Who knew what she might do?
“Stay with me for a day. I don’t want to be alone,” Luo Yizi said seriously.
Chen Chang’an was speechless.
Under her extremely serious gaze, he eventually agreed.
He could actually understand Luo Yizi’s feelings.
When he learned that he was going to die, he had not wanted to be alone either.
The air itself felt cold and empty, unbearably hollow.
However, Chen Chang’an would definitely not spend an entire day alone with Luo Yizi.
He took out the Sound-Transmission Stone and sent a message to Huang Jiaojiao.
Huang Jiaojiao quickly arrived at the courtyard.
“Sister Yizi, you’re here too?” Huang Jiaojiao asked with a smile when she saw Luo Yizi.
Luo Yizi nodded and did not bother with pleasantries.
“Senior Brother, I couldn’t find…” Huang Jiaojiao had gone out and tried again, but she still could not find a man she liked.
Luo Yizi asked, “Find what?”
Huang Jiaojiao, as if finally finding someone to confide in, pitifully explained Chen Chang’an’s requirement to her.
Luo Yizi frowned and looked at Chen Chang’an.
Chen Chang’an glanced at her. After hesitating briefly, he nodded.
Luo Yizi fell silent.
Earlier, she had suspected that Chen Chang’an had lied about dying because of her confession.
But now, seeing that he insisted Huang Jiaojiao find someone to marry within half a year, she began to reconsider.
Chen Chang’an’s love for Huang Jiaojiao was almost no less than what he felt for her sister.
Half a year was far too rushed. If he truly wanted to find a man who would treat Huang Jiaojiao well, the longer the time, the better.
That way, it would better prove whether the man truly loved her.
Luo Yizi stared at Chen Chang’an. In that gaze, she fully confirmed it.
He might really be going to die.
“Do you need me to tell my sister about this?” Luo Yizi asked, her eyes fixed on him.
“No.”
Even without her saying it explicitly, he knew she had understood his situation.
What puzzled him, however, was why she did not ask how he would die.
“That’s unfair to her. Have you thought about what she will be like when everything is over? Regretful? Collapsed? Hating you?”
Chen Chang’an sighed and said, “Honestly, telling her won’t help. If you want, you can try telling her.”
Now it was Luo Yizi’s turn to fall silent.
Based on her understanding of her sister, if she heard such a reason, she probably would not believe it.
In truth, Luo Yizi herself did not know why she believed him.
Perhaps she knew one thing very clearly: Chen Chang’an had no reason to lie to her.
And he would never joke about Huang Jiaojiao’s happiness.
The two of them fell into silence.
Meanwhile, Huang Jiaojiao, sitting at the side, stared at them in confusion.
Tell Sister-in-law about this?
Unfair to Sister-in-law?
The more she listened, the stranger it sounded.
I’m just looking for a man to marry. How is that unfair to Sister-in-law?
If Sister-in-law finds out, she’ll collapse? She’ll hate Senior Brother for helping me find a husband?
The more Huang Jiaojiao thought about it, the more confused she became.
Does that mean Sister-in-law likes me?!!
“S-Senior Brother… w-when did Sister-in-law start liking me? I-I don’t like girls!!”
Huang Jiaojiao’s eyes widened in shock.
Chen Chang’an and Luo Yizi, who had been silent, were both stunned when they heard her words.
Huh?
But very quickly, they realized why Huang Jiaojiao had misunderstood.
This little girl had clearly taken it the wrong way.
She thought they were still talking about finding her a husband.
