This data in Quick Transmigration has become sentient!

After this question arose, someone quickly revealed the answer for her—

Aldridge pressed his advantage, saying, "I didn't mean anything by it. I just wanted to repay Miss Uma for treating me after I fell from my startled horse and was injured."

Ghost storyline.

What kind of plot is this?!

Sometimes the way your data supplement works is really inexplicable!

Yi Yi screamed inwardly, racking her brains to find all sorts of swear words to complain about the current plot development.

"Then... that's fine."

Uma was so intimidated that she readily agreed, leaving Yi Yi, who was already distracted by her吐槽 (tu cao, a Chinese internet slang term for complaining/criticizing), no time to stop her.

Honey, he wasn't trying to repay a debt of gratitude, he just wanted to hug you!

But what's done is done, and Yi doesn't want Uma to go back on her word. For Uma, who has a strong sense of principle, this might actually become a point of concern for her regarding Aldrich.

In a flash, Yi Yi knew what she had to do.

She exclaimed with a hint of surprise, "Ah! Chris! It's been so long!"

Hearing that Yi Yi had noticed him, Chris scratched his head and replied, "Long time no see, Sister Yi Yi."

“It’s been a long time since I’ve seen you since you became a knight,” Yi said with a smile to Chris, then turned to Aldrich and said, “This is the prince you mentioned before, right? My younger brother and sister thank you for taking care of them recently. I’d like to catch up with them. Your Highness doesn’t mind having me among the flower-viewing party, does he?”

When making decisions for others, the key is to be quick, accurate, and ruthless, leaving the other party no chance to refuse.

"It shouldn't be a problem to bring me along, right? Or were you not originally planning to bring Chris?" Yi took a dramatic breath and feigned surprise. "Could it be that Your Highness originally intended to go out and have fun alone with my unmarried sister?"

Aldridge's words, spoken from the perspective of his older sister who is the elder in the family, completely ruined his original dating plans.

Not to mention that after Chris was secretly reminded by Yi Yi, he agreed with Yi Yi to go along because of the surveillance mission arranged by the church.

Uma was standing next to Yi Yi, nodding her little head in agreement, which made it impossible for Aldrich to refuse. Yi Yi then made the final decision.

But Aldrich is still Aldrich. Even though he was tricked by Yi Yi and had to swallow this bitter pill, he did not lose his gentlemanly manners. He even naturally took over the conversation: "Of course, I was thinking that if you, my sister, were willing to come along, it would be an honor for my humble abode. I imagine the flowers in the garden would bloom even more brightly because of your arrival."

The impeccable disguise amazed Yi Yi.

“Of course, Sir Chris will not be left out,” Aldrich said, being considerate. “I have already ordered a carriage and refreshments for enjoying the flowers to be prepared. Please make your way there.”

"Then I'll trouble Your Highness." Yi Yi gracefully performed a very ladylike curtsy, which Uma, seeing this, also imitated.

Then Aldridge led them to the carriage.

Inside the carriage, Yi Yi and Uma sat side by side, exchanging glances with Aldrich, yet smiling elegantly and heartily.

Seeing Yi Yi's delighted expression, Uma and Chris, who were standing next to Aldridge, assumed that Yi Yi was looking forward to the upcoming flower viewing tea party, and they couldn't help but feel excited as well.

Noticing their high spirits, Yi Yi smiled and exclaimed, "You two are such adorable, innocent kids!"

As she spoke, she pinched Uma's cheek again and exclaimed, "The little girl's face just feels so good!"

Although Uma was completely confused by Yi Yi's words, she still obediently let her older sister, who was overflowing with affection, rub her face.

Aldridge, seeing her obedient appearance, felt a pang of envy, which strengthened his resolve to please this beloved older sister of Uma.

-

The wheels whirred and turned.

As the road gradually became more rugged, it was easy to tell that they were heading towards a more remote area.

But the constant stream of voices around them told them that they were still not far from the noise.

Just like the invisible but clearly perceptible smoke of gunpowder inside the car.

“Miss Uma, look, coming out of the main road, you’ll reach the royal family’s villa in the main city by following this tree-lined path.” Aldrich said, as if he was certain that Uma would like this scenery, and he spoke with a boastful tone, “Speaking of which, this villa was not built for long. When it was being renovated, there were plans to pave this area as well, but I had the opportunity to visit the project and suggested that the villa should retain its natural flavor. That’s how this unique tree-lined path was preserved.”

“It certainly has a unique flavor,” Chris agreed.

The afternoon sun, filtered through the branches, cast dappled shadows that shone on the thin, pure white curtains, creating a series of fantastical paintings. Even on the hottest afternoon of the day, a cool breeze wafted in through the half-open car window.

It certainly has a unique flavor.

But can Yi Yi admit it?

She couldn't; her presence here would only tarnish Aldridge's image and prevent Uma from developing a liking for him.

Just as Uma seemed about to chime in, Yi Yi sighed softly and said in a delicate, almost feigned manner, "Men are so much healthier than me. I'm a woman, and after just a couple of bumps, I'm already exhausted from the journey. My back is even aching."

Yi Yi used the "green tea" tactics she had learned from years of online activities, immediately attracting Uma's attention. Uma hurriedly asked Yi Yi how uncomfortable she was, whether she needed a massage, or whether she needed to rest.

Aldridge instantly resembled a peacock that had spread its tail feathers but was defeated, utterly powerless to resist. He even smiled and showed concern for Yi Yi, the troublemaker, for the sake of his image.

Yi Yi didn't expect to break Aldrich's composure with such a small trick. After all, if he broke his composure like this, she wouldn't need to be so alarmed.

But that doesn't mean Yi Yi can't disgust him!

She rested her elbow on the car window frame, gently touching her forehead with her delicate fingers, and said softly, "It's okay, I can endure it, as long as Uma is happy."

Yi Yi's unusual demeanor caused Chris, who was opposite her, to show a look of horror.

Seeing his dumbfounded expression, Yi Yi gave him a sharp look, signaling him to mind his own business.

Chris swallowed hard, then stiffly looked away, intending to begin acting as someone devoid of all five senses.

As for Uma and Aldridge, Uma was completely blinded by concern.

And what about Aldridge?

He didn't know Yi Yi at all, and even avoided looking at her more than a few times to keep her out of sight, so he naturally didn't notice the interaction between Chris and Yi Yi, and even missed Chris's momentary stiffness.

Aldridge had no intention of arguing with Yi Yi. Having fulfilled his gentlemanly duty, he also gave up and went to rest with his eyes closed.
