C92 Big Sister's Abnormal Behavior!

These are the reminders a mother should give, but as a father, he found it awkward to bring up. Ye Mingyuan wanted to nurture his eldest daughter, hoping exposure to the world would make her more open and confident. He initially thought about sending her abroad for studies, but she had her own ideas. She didn’t want to go to an unfamiliar place and preferred staying close to her sister. Having attended a teacher's college, she wanted to teach.

Ye Mingyuan considered this. In their social circle, families with status rarely encouraged their daughters to become teachers. However, he believed schools, as places of education, offered the best environments. Teachers are dedicated, and students respect them, ensuring a positive atmosphere. With this in mind, he supported his daughter’s decision.

His eldest daughter graduated from a prestigious teacher's college with honors. So, Ye Mingyuan arranged for her to teach literature at the best private girls' school in town. The school was known for its high standards and respectful students. Ye Mingyuan was a thoughtful father, considering his children’s best interests while respecting their choices. He wasn’t authoritarian but rather democratic in his approach.

Ye Mingyuan smiled warmly at his eldest daughter, noticing her delayed response. He was puzzled. “What’s wrong, Nianci? Isn’t your new colleague coming over?” he asked curiously.

Suddenly, the second wife chimed in, “Oh, come on, dear. The kids are grown up. If she wants to invite a friend over, why ask so many questions? Don’t scare Nianci away from bringing friends home.”

The Third Concubine suddenly shot a sidelong glance at the Second Concubine, her eyes shifting as she thought, "Is this ugly woman really being so kind today?"

The Fourth Concubine rarely lifted her eyes but did so to glance at the Second Concubine before lowering them again to continue reading her book.

It was the Fifth Concubine who suddenly spoke up, "Nianci, since you're inviting a friend over, do we need to prepare anything special?"

"Exactly, exactly, Nianci, tell us what we should prepare. What does your friend like to eat or drink? Just let us know, and we'll make sure everything is ready for you. We wouldn't want you to lose face."

The Second Concubine chimed in, moving closer to Ye Mingyuan with a cheerful smile, trying to gently place her hand on his shoulder. However, she was quite unattractive, and to cover her dark complexion, she applied thick layers of white powder daily. As she spoke, the heavy powder couldn't hold up and began to flake off.

Ye Mingyuan, finding it distasteful, shifted away slightly.

The Third Concubine noticed and didn't hesitate to let out a mocking laugh. She maneuvered herself to push the Second Concubine aside and handed Ye Mingyuan a cup of warm ginseng tea that Ye Nianci had brought over, her voice soft and sweet, "Dear, the air is dry this fall. Don't let anything irritate your throat; have some tea to soothe it."

Her words carried a hidden jab, implying that the Second Concubine's heavy makeup was suffocating. The Second Concubine glared at the Third Concubine with malice, wishing she could tear apart this brazenly beautiful woman.

Ye Yuvyuv stood on the staircase, coldly scanning the faces of the concubines, her gaze pausing only on her eldest sister.

She waited for her older sister to continue.

Suddenly, Third Aunt, satisfied after watching Mingyuan take a sip of the tea she offered, spoke up, "Nianci, you didn’t mention earlier if the friend you’re inviting is male or female?"

The atmosphere in the living room shifted instantly.

Mingyuan immediately turned to look at Nianci.

Second Aunt's eyes flashed with a peculiar expression as she was about to interject.

At that moment, Yuvyuv, standing on the stairs, finally spoke up softly, "Big Sis, are you inviting a friend over? Is it a guy or a girl? Do I know them?"

"Yuvyuv!"

Nianci saw her sister appear from upstairs, wearing a red plaid shirt and fitted pants, looking both spirited and elegant. Her expression was slightly tense.

Yuvyuv quickly descended the stairs.

Just as Second Aunt was about to say something, Yuvyuv nudged her aside and approached her sister, teasing with an innocent smile, "Big Sis isn't saying anything. Could it be that you’re inviting a guy?"

Mingyuan immediately became anxious, "Nianci, is what your sister said true? Are you inviting a male friend over?"

Mingyuan wasn’t opposed to his daughter dating. After all, his eldest was already eighteen, an adult.

Talking about marriage was normal.

However, his daughter dating was different from his son.

Especially now, with everyone advocating for modern relationships and marriages, emphasizing freedom and equality over traditional matchmaking.

But regardless of equality, the family should at least know what kind of person she’s seeing.

His eldest daughter was always gentle and graceful, not one to play mind games. She never complained even when wronged.

If she got deceived by a man, it would be terrible.

There are plenty of smooth talkers out there, sweet-talking girls into giving their hearts and money, only to leave them heartbroken.

Ye Mingyuan grew increasingly worried as he focused intently on his eldest daughter, waiting for her response.

Ye Nianci glanced first at Ye Mingyuan and then at her younger sister in front of her. After careful consideration and recalling the conversation she had the previous day, she finally said, "It's a man."

"Really, a man?" Ye Mingyuan's reaction was a bit strong, his voice rising slightly.

Seeing his eldest daughter's shoulders tense up a bit, Ye Mingyuan tried to appear calm, lowering his tone as he asked, "So, what does this man do? An old classmate of yours? No, that can't be right. You went to an all-girls teacher's college, so no male classmates. Then, is he...?"

Unable to guess, Ye Mingyuan looked to Ye Nianci for clarification.

Ye Nianci took a deep breath, glanced once more at her sister, and finally blurted out, "He's a colleague, a male teacher at our school, who just returned from studying in France."
