Jiang Liyue, on the day she became a shadow queen, was pulled into an infinite-loop novel and turned into the fake heiress who starved to death because she refused to enter the game. Good news: she...
Chapter 276 Covering Up Makes It Even More Exciting
Jiang Liyue knew that Herlo was shameless, but she didn't expect him to be this shameless.
Her lips twitched: "Does Hermer know if you say that?"
“He’ll find out sooner or later,” Herlo said, becoming increasingly self-righteous. “He didn’t tell me he’d met such a lovely darling like you in the castle, did he?”
"Hmph, do you think I don't know what he's up to? He just wants to have you all to himself, doesn't he?" Herlo said, his expression becoming even more displeased.
They are brothers, but also different individuals from the same soul, and that is why they understand each other.
So the moment Hero saw Jiang Liyue, he knew that Hermo, like him, had fallen in love with her at first sight.
Therefore, Hermer knew that he would also fall in love with her, which is why he deliberately did not tell her about Jiang Liyue's existence.
However, Herlo will eventually return to Terence Castle, which is why Hermer deliberately preemptively appointed Jiang Liyue as the Duchess.
"Baby, don't be fooled by that hypocritical, cold-faced Hermer. He's really wicked." Hermer raised his hand and touched Jiang Liyue's soft cheek.
Sure enough, Herloh, a hundred years ago, still enjoyed relentlessly slandering his brother.
Jiang Liyue glared at him, ignoring his rambling words: "What nonsense are you talking about? I don't understand. All I know is that Hermes is a duke."
“No, I am a duke too.” Herlo smiled slightly. “Are you aware of the rumors about vampire twins?”
Jiang Liyue shook her head.
Herlo told her about the curse of twins and why, in everyone's eyes, there was only one duke in Terence Castle.
Finally, he slowly said, "In everyone's eyes, Hermer and I are the same person."
"Therefore, you should be mine too."
“I don’t care,” Jiang Liyue insisted. “Anyway, all I know is that the Duke’s name is Hermès, and everyone thinks that the Duke is Hermès.”
Because of these words, Herlo's face twisted for a moment, and in that instant, he was insanely jealous of Hermer.
Why should he be the only one? He was only born a few minutes earlier than me, and he only met my baby a dozen days earlier.
Why is the Duke's name his? Why are the treasures he loves his?
At this moment, his desire to kill Hermer reached its peak.
He completely forgot that he didn't want to be a duke, which was why he had so eagerly pushed the title onto Hermer in the first place.
Even the reason I didn't want to return to the castle early this time was because I found it boring there, so I deliberately stayed outside for more than ten days.
Anyway, it's all Hermer's fault.
As long as he's dead, as long as he's dead...
Herlo stared intently at Jiang Liyue, a twisted glee on his face, as if he was already fantasizing about how he would monopolize the treasure after Hermo died.
Even though he had only known Jiang Liyue for less than half an hour, and even though he didn't know Jiang Liyue's name, he was already planning to kill his own brother for her sake.
Herme: 6.
Jiang Liyue sensed a dangerous glint in his eyes. She blinked and emphasized earnestly, "I don't belong to anyone. I am just myself."
Herlo was much happier because of these words. Although his darling didn't approve of him, it seemed that she didn't approve of Hermer either.
Herlo nodded: "That's right, that's right, but baby, I can be yours."
Jiang Liyue: ...
Herlo didn't want to discuss Hermer's affairs with her much.
That bastard isn't even here; he should be spending his time sweetly nurturing his relationship with his sweetheart right now.
He smiled and changed the subject: "By the way, honey, I still don't know your name."
"Jiang Liyue." She only replied with her name indifferently after seeing that his expression had returned to normal.
Herlo didn't care about her attitude, and instead repeated her name: "Jiang Liyue, Yueyue, what a lovely name."
“My darling Yueyue, shall we have a chat?” Herlo raised an eyebrow at her playfully.
Jiang Liyue: ...
She gestured for him to look at the surroundings: "As my future husband's younger brother, is it appropriate for you to be chatting with me in my room so late at night?"
"Yueyue, you called me husband." Herlo seemed to have automatically ignored that long paragraph and only heard the word "husband".
His eyes lit up with excitement: "Baby, I knew you liked me."
"That Hermer guy is nothing but an imposter who uses the same face as me."
Jiang Liyue: ?
She couldn't take it anymore and slapped Herlo across the face: "Can you please stop this now!"
Herlo seized the opportunity to grab her hand that was covering his face and turned his head to kiss her soft palm.
It seemed as if Jiang Liyue wasn't hitting him, but rather rewarding him.
Jiang Liyue: ...This pervert!
He kissed it twice, completely absorbed, and then even stuck out his tongue to lick it like a puppy.
It reminded Jiang Liyue of what he would look like as a puppy a hundred years from now.
Indeed, some people's dogs are born that way.
Seeing that someone was going too far and even trying to bite her fingertips, Jiang Liyue felt herself pulling her hand back: "Watch your behavior, I'm your future sister-in-law."
Herlo insisted on denying it: "You are my future wife, I am just exercising my rights in advance."
Jiang Liyue: "No, I am your sister-in-law."
Herlo: "Wife."
Jiang Liyue: "Sister-in-law, sister-in-law."
Herlo: "Wife, wife."
The two of them argued back and forth like elementary school kids.
Jiang Liyue thought that Herlo couldn't understand human language, while Herlo thought that the more he looked at his wife's puffed-up cheeks, the cuter she became.
Finally, Jiang Liyue put her hands on her hips and said, "When Hermer comes back, I'll have him beat you up."
The next moment, Herlo simply put one arm around her waist and lifted her up like a child.
The sudden lift made Jiang Liyue feel weightless, so she quickly put her hands on his shoulders to keep her balance.
Then she reached out and punched him, saying, "Put me down right now!"
Herlo remained unmoved, picked her up and carried her to the bedside, then threw her down.
Hermer prepared an extremely soft bed for her, and Herlo deliberately used less force when throwing it.
So when Jiang Liyue was thrown onto the bed, she didn't feel any pain. She just bounced up and down a couple of times before sinking into the soft bed.
"Herlo, what are you doing..."
Before she could finish speaking, Herlo loomed over her, casting a large shadow over her.
The room wasn't brightly lit, and with Herlo backlit, Jiang Liyue couldn't see his expression from that angle; she could only see his burning, predatory gaze.
And his approaching, chilling aura, carrying a sense of danger.
"What are you doing?" Jiang Liyue's voice was lower, like a small animal sensing danger, trying to avoid its predator by curling up into a ball.
Herlo just stared at her: "Yueyue, you think you're my sister-in-law, right?"
Jiang Liyue was still stubbornly insisting: "That's exactly right..."
“It’s alright.” Herlo looked intently at her and said softly, “Sister-in-law.”
Jiang Liyue's eyes widened suddenly: Huh?
Then, the next moment, he heard Herlo's ambiguous voice coming from above him: "Yueyue, don't you think that sounds like having an affair?"
"So since Yueyue likes to be my sister-in-law, I can grant your wish."
“I just didn’t expect it,” Herlo glanced at her lightly, “that Yueyue would like to play this kind of game.”
Jiang Liyue's pupils dilated in shock: What? That kind? Who likes that?
Herlo didn't care about her feelings, he just lowered his head and got closer and closer to her until his lips touched her earlobe.
He then slowly said, "Actually, I quite like it too. Doesn't Yueyue think it's exciting?"
"Right?"
Jiang Liyue: ...It's really exciting! ///A\\\
