Chapter 378 - 378: Plus Jeune Frère (2/2)

”Good comprehension,” Lillie compliments.

This made Li Yifei fl.u.s.tered. What is this fluttering feeling in her chest? White Bird just complimented her, and it made her...giddy?

Li Yifei doesn't get fl.u.s.tered easily. But if she did, it was usually because someone important to her said things that made her happy.

Like her idol, sister-in-law Lillie, and big bro—and secretly her overbearingly snarky, tsundere boyfriend—for example.

After that, silence has once again prevailed. The two younger siblings didn't let their guards down but allowed themselves to relax and soak in the warmth of the car's heater and each other's presence.

Li Yifei scooted closer to her boyfriend. In return, Gabriel planted his palm over her dainty hand.

Unfortunately, tranquility didn't last long when they noticed that the road Silver Dragon was taking was distinctly familiar.

That's right, they realize it just now...they didn't tell them where they'll be dropped off.

Due to their bewildered state earlier, Gabriel and Li Yifei forgot to mention the location of their base—though, they doubt that White Bird doesn't know where it was.

But why would they bring them here? And how did they know this place in a short period?

”White Bird, what are we doing here? This isn't our base.” Gabriel tested the water. It could be a coincidence, for all he knows.

An impossible, absurd coincidence.

”We're taking you two home.” Lillie said, busy clicking something on the infotainment.

”But this is nowhere near our houses,” Li Yifei retorted, internally panicking at the unpleasant possibilities of why they're heading towards the direction she's assuming.

Oh no, it wasn't an assumption or a terrible coincidence.

Silver Dragon entered Peach Town with no trouble. The guards by the gates saw his car, and just saluted upon recognizing it.

He didn't even need to roll his tinted window down.

”I know.” She replied.

”Then what's the meaning of this—” Gabriel's eyes widen, appalled as they approached the familiar villa.

The car halted in front of the gates.

His shoulders hunched, alarm bells ringing even louder in his ears and his heart was practically pounding out of his chest.

Tranquil Villa's gates opened with a resounding creak.

The car stopped by the villa's grand main doors.

Then, they heard two simultaneous clicks that indicated that seatbelts had been unbuckled.

”Remove your masks before you get off.”

Gabriel snapped his head towards White Bird's direction so fast that he nearly had a whiplash. ”What are we doing here, White Bird?” He snarled. His heated glare practically boring holes in the back of her seat.

”What are we doing here?” Lillie echoed as she unhurriedly peeled off her mask. ”That's a silly question, plus jeune frère [1].”

Gabriel's breath hitched, his throat suddenly felt dry.

White Bird's voice...changed. It sounded like...like...

His eyes then drifted down when he saw the two esteemed Demons place something down on the armrest's compartment.

It was their masks.

”It's already late, we'll scold you two later in the morning.” Ethan turned the car off.

On the rear-view mirror, the younger siblings met their elder siblings' unsettling eyes.

”Big sis?!”

”Elder bro?!”
