"The Reborn Sister’s Escape" Chapter 30
"The exact millisecond your physical form completes its exit out of the mansion borders, my palm will distribute a digital text message over to the coordinator device of Assistant Liang, directing his line to launch a formal phone call over to my device. Following that maneuver, the two of us can successfully execute a secret romantic convergence directly outside the exterior parameters of the residential community gates, how do you evaluate the parameters?"
I trained a steady, flat gaze to evaluate this thoroughly dim-witted, wealthy young master asset occupying my immediate space.
For a prolonged block of moments, my mind was entirely stranded as to the premium syllables to return to his face.
"For what specific reason are your eyes evaluating my features down this trajectory? Does this specific operational methodology lack premium quality?"
"Julian, my lips harbor an explicit piece of structural data destined for your ears."
"What is the exact nature of the data?"
Discerning that the central living room environment was entirely vacant of alternative human silhouettes, Julian slyly and stealthily closed the physical distance, habitually extending his palms to gently cradle the contours of my jawline.
"To what exact geographical coordinates did your presence migrate during the evening hours? My digital text messages were left entirely devoid of a reply, and my phone calls were systematically met with zero percentage of a response."
"My footsteps flatly refrained from migrating to any complex coordinates."
"Precious angel, permit my lips to plant a gentle kiss across your features, would that suffice? My entire existence spent the absolute entirety of the evening launching a relentless campaign to track down your silhouette."
Concluding the murmur, Julian weaponized lightning-fast velocity to plant a swift, affectionate kiss squarely against the surface of my cheek.
Catching sight of the reality that my facial features were entirely anchored by a frozen, blank expression of complete disorientation.
He let out a soft, melodious chuckle:
"For what earthly reason are your eyes evaluating my features down this specific track? My precious baby functions as the absolute definition of cute; allow my lips to plant a secondary kiss."
His physical form closed the physical distance to approach my lips a secondary time.
During this specific milestone, his choreography directly bypassed basic parameters to pry open the boundaries of my lips and tongue, aggressively launching a total campaign to conquer the interior territory of my mouth.
Evaluating the trajectory of his movements, it was completely clear that his systems were actively mobilizing to subject my frame to the rhythm of an intense, full-scale French kiss production.
I frantically exerted physical force to push his massive torso away from my skin.
"Auntie J."
This exact milestone witnessed the total transition of the dim-witted disorientation over to Julian’s face.
His head subtly pivoted to the side to track the environmental variables.
Within a single microsecond, his pupils locked straight onto the silhouettes of Auntie J and Auntie Zhang, who were idling directly opposite our position.

Auntie J’s eyelids were stretched profoundly wide, her palm tightly clamped over the borders of her mouth.
Even assuming the reality that her theatrical acting skills projected an appearance that was exceptionally awkward and mechanical, she remained relentlessly dedicated to fulfilling her operational duty, aggressively performing a state of monumental, apocalyptic disorientation and profound shock.
"Oh my... the two of you... what exact variation of choreography is actively unfolding before my eyes?"
Catching sight of the reality that Auntie J had already escalated her performance to this caliber, Auntie Zhang instantaneously catalyzed her systems to enter a corresponding theatrical state.
Initializing her choreography by executing a succession of retrograding steps backward, her eye sockets stretching to a circumference that easily bypassed the dimensions of copper bells, she subsequently manufactured a presentation of absolute psychological collapse.
"Good heavens! Good heavens! What exact category of imagery has just penetrated my biological vision? Young Master Julian, Clara, the two of you are actively engaged in..."
To be perfectly candid with the world.
The sheer volume of absolute, suffocating social embarrassment choking my soul had reached a caliber where my toes were actively on the verge of excavating a massive medieval fortress asset clean through the floorboards.
Julian forced his mind through the intense friction to manufacture a stubborn explanation:
"Mother, I explicitly request that the collective systems of your group check your impulses to refrain from manifesting this scale of exaggerated surprise; Clara and my person have officially locked in a formal romantic relationship."
Auntie J systematically retracted the cartoonishly exaggerated facial features she had deployed a microsecond prior, smoothly transitioning the emotional current to hit a baseline of minor, casual surprise.
"What did you say? The two of you have formally unified as a couple? Oh, if that is the baseline... for what earthly reason did your lips refrain from communicating that fact over to our ears ahead of schedule?"
Auntie Zhang perfectly mirrored the structural transition, patting her chest area with a presentation that simulated a lingering wave of intense panic.
"Ah? The underlying reality is that the two of you are actively navigating a romantic courtship? No wonder, the sheer surprise almost completely snuffed out my vital spark, almost completely snuffed out my vital spark."
Julian...
His internal processing networks registered a subtle sensation that something within the environment was profoundly weird.
Yet his intellect flatly lacked the capacity to pinpoint the exact variable driving the anomaly.
My soul genuinely harbored an intense desire to question Auntie Zhang directly to her face.
Regarding the exact geographical location where her persona had successfully acquired this highly dramatic, explosive style of theatrical acting methodology.

Following the formal milestone of executing a total public announcement to clarify our romance, Julian finalized a decisive strategy to move our operations out of the main estate to reside solo.
The J family network historically held total legal ownership over a massive, premium real estate plot physically established within the eastern sectors of the municipality.

An asset acquired during the early eras of their corporate expansion, the territory was flawlessly bounded by a pristine natural lake and a sweeping mountain range.
Tracking the timeline back to a milestone three years ago, Julian had independently retained a professional construction engineering collective, initializing the structural fabrication of a custom residence.
In the current landscape, the interior decoration and furnishing protocols defining the grand villa had arrived at a state of near-total completion.
Julian articulated that this specific geographical asset would officially function to accommodate our future marital residence.
"Does the articulation of these specific sentences translate to your person officially initializing a formal marriage proposal targeting my hand?"
"My soul has actively endured an absolute span of two lifetimes waiting for your existence to arrive at this milestone; my internal metrics generate a psychological sensation that my masculine form is rapidly approaching old age. Consequently, we must accelerate our timeline to lock in a formal marriage ceremony at the absolute earliest opportunity, moving rapidly to enjoy the unbridled luxury of an exclusive two-person universe."
Huh?
By what earthly metric had the structural thickness of this specific individual's facial skin expanded to attain this staggering caliber?
A brief block of moments drifted past the timeline.
Sera placed a digital communications link over to my line to update my consciousness regarding a specific development.
Chloe’s abdominal wall had been violently penetrated by a savage knife strike orchestrated by an external entity, a trauma so severe it necessitated the complete surgical excision of one of her biological kidneys.
The specific individual who had driven the blade into her flesh was none other than the yellow-haired thug asset who had historically attempted to launch a campaign of physical violation targeting Sera’s person.
As it turned out, following the milestone of the yellow-haired thug's historical arrest, the legal core backing the J family had deployed an aggressive campaign of formal prosecution targeting his head.
The inaugural judicial trial had successfully yielded a definitive prison sentence spanning a block of three years.
The yellow-haired thug was completely consumed by an absolute storm of lethal, suffocating fury.
Both major milestones directing his physical form to enter the iron gates of the municipal penitentiary had been exclusively catalyzed by Chloe’s calculations.
His internal cognitive framework evaluated the reality to dictate that she was intentionally and maliciously organizing a targeted campaign to completely destroy his life, consequently retaining an associate to drive a blade clean into Chloe’s abdomen.
Permitting the cosmic wheel to execute a secondary revolution.
Chloe’s ultimate structural conclusion in this life appeared to share an absolute zero-percent variance separating her fate from the horrors defining her past life.
Except during this specific iteration of the timeline, the C mother and Christian had completely and unconditionally severed every single thread of domestic connection anchoring her care, leaving her physical form to entirely navigate a path of self-destruction and survival out in the elements.
51
Three years down the line.
Sera had finally arrived at the absolute eve of completing her academic graduation milestones.
