Chapter 116: Chapter 111 - Love Has No Boundaries (First Update)

Tong Aino patted Mi Chenxuan’s shoulder, "Stop for now and let him finish."

Mi Chenxuan halted, squinting at Mai Zekai, "Hurry up and say it!"

Mai Zekai let out a long sigh, "I accidentally let slip a single sentence, and Uncle kept pressing me. I couldn’t handle it and ended up telling the truth. But I swear to the heavens, I didn’t say anything to hurt you all, really! Otherwise, would Uncle let you sit here casually and play like this?"

"At least you’ve got a shred of conscience!" Mi Chenxuan used the elder-relief stick to jab at Mai Zekai’s foot, "How many days has it been since you washed your feet?!"

"I had a shower right after my surgery before coming over today." Mai Zekai squirmed a bit, "I already explained everything, and you still won’t let me go?"

"Tickle him for five more minutes." Tong Aini grabbed the elder-relief stick from Mi Chenxuan and smacked Mai Zekai’s sole, "This is for running your mouth! Watch how I deal with you! Of all things you could’ve mentioned, why talk about me staying at the hotel?"

"Sixth Sis, you’re framing me! I was trying to plead on your behalf with You Jia, but... It’s all because of my clumsy tongue."

Tong Aini glanced at him, then used the elder-relief stick to shove aside the hands of the third and fifth brothers, "Let him get up and speak."

Tong Aino and Mi Chenshuo exchanged a look, then simultaneously released their grips.

Mai Zekai sprang up and looked at Tong Airui, saying, "Even if you beat me to death today, I must say this: you’ve found your happiness, and someday each of us will find our better halves. But Sixth Sis and You Jia are too exhausted! They clearly love each other, yet we’re conspiring together to keep them apart. That’s just too cruel!"

Tong Airui raised his chin slightly, signaling him to continue.

Standing on the bed, Mai Zekai looked down at the others from above, "Love knows no borders. Uncle and Aunt had an intercultural romance too; we’ve all seen how happy they are. Sure, Aunt has had a tough time, constantly traveling between three countries whenever she has a moment to spare, but that’s no reason to stop Sixth Sis and You Jia from being together. Sixth Sis can do the same in the future—when she misses us, she can just come back and visit!"

"If things were really as simple as you say, we wouldn’t even need to discuss it!" Tong Aino kicked him lightly, "Sit down!"

"I won’t sit!"

"From now on, Seventh Brother is my man. Anyone who dares to mess with him is my enemy!" Tong Aini picked up the elder-relief stick and smacked Fifth Brother on the thigh.

"Brother, Sixth Sis hit me!" Tong Aino puffed up his cheeks and glared at Tong Airui.

Tong Airui furrowed his brow slightly, "Let’s not fight for now! Seventh Brother’s words aren’t entirely unreasonable. Given how things are between Sixth Sis and You Jia, who else could she possibly love other than him?"

"Even if she fell for someone else, that guy might not dare to marry her. Who’d be so oblivious as to steal a woman from the Crown Prince?" Mai Zekai said while thrusting his foot toward Mi Chenxuan’s nose, "Put my socks on! I’m officially Sixth Sis’s man now!"

Mi Chenxuan slapped his foot away. Seeing Tong Aini raise the elder-relief stick to hit him, he quickly hid behind Mi Chenshuo.

Yi Luowa watched them with a smile, genuinely envying their bond.

Tong Airui turned his head toward her, "Wife, for now, you’re still considered an outsider here. What’s your take on Aini and You Jia’s situation?"

Yi Luowa glanced at You Jia and Aini’s tightly clasped hands, "Do you really want my opinion?"

Tong Airui nodded, "I’d like to hear your thoughts."

"If you ask me, the only thing you should do now is support them! Sister Aini is so exceptional that it seems like only Prince You Jia is worthy of her. I’ve just figured it out—you guys are only hesitating because you’re worried about her marrying far away, and afraid you won’t stay as close as you are now. But as far as I know, flying from S Country to Xiawu takes about five to six hours. If everyone plans their time well, you can still gather frequently."

When Yi Luowa finished speaking, You Jia tightened his grip on Tong Aini’s hand and addressed Tong Airui and the others, "Let me make a promise to everyone: I will give Aini enough freedom. I’ll ensure she’s even freer than my aunt."

"You may give Aini freedom, but what about your parents and your people—how will you explain it to them?" Tong Airui asked with a furrowed brow.

"I’ll handle all of that. As a man, if I can’t take care of these things for the woman I love, then I’m not worthy to claim I love Aini. In the past, I never discussed these matters with you all—not because I don’t love Aini or because I’m indifferent to these concerns, but because I wanted to give Aini time. I didn’t want to put her in a difficult position between me and her family. Today, Aini has already taken the first step; the rest of the journey will be mine to walk."

Tong Airui smiled faintly, "Then take your time walking it yourself!"

The astute You Jia immediately caught the hidden meaning within Tong Airui’s smile, "Brother, my strength alone is limited. Since we all love Aini, I need your help."

"You really have a nerve! You’re trying to take our sister away, and now you’re asking us to help you?" Tong Aino stood up with a roguish grin, "I’m starting to wonder if you even have a brain in your head."

You Jia, unperturbed, smiled gently, "I’ll make you another promise: if I can marry Aini, I’ll wear cartoon-printed underwear designed by her—for all of you, no exceptions."

Tong Aino glanced at Tong Airui, "Brother, this actually sounds kind of convincing?"

Just as Tong Airui was about to reply, Tong Aini chimed in first, "No way! That’s my one true hobby..."
