What! The Wives in My Dreams Are Real?

【Ye Yu looked ahead and saw a tall man with a resolute face standing not far away, a faint smile on his lips.】

【Ye Yu found him unfamiliar, so he asked curiously, “And you are?”】

【The man smiled. “I forgot to introduce myself. I am Cui Hongyuan of Plum Blossom Peak from the Cui family. I’ve seen your image on a recording stone before, so I recognized you right away, brother-in-law.”】

【Ye Yu smiled and nodded in response.】

【Yesterday afternoon, the Cui family steward Cui Fu had briefly introduced him to the basic structure of the Cui family.】

【The Cui family had countless branches, but the ones with real power were the upper three houses.】

【They were the first house led by Cui Yanshui, along with two others.】

【Aside from these three houses, the rest could only be considered dependents. They didn’t even have the qualification to compete for the position of family head.】

【They could only devote themselves fully to assisting the upper three houses.】

【There was no need to think this was unfair—because in the Six Realms, absolute fairness had never existed!】

【One’s bloodline at birth had already determined the resources one would have in the future.】

【That was reality.】

【Direct descendants of the Cui family would always introduce themselves internally as belonging to the first, second, or third house.】

【Only those from branch bloodlines would refer to themselves by specific peaks.】

【This was a strict hierarchy.】

【Someone like Cui Hongyuan was clearly from a branch line and could only attach himself to one of the three main houses.】

【However, judging from his enthusiastic demeanor, it wasn’t hard to guess that he belonged to a branch aligned with the first house.】

【Under normal circumstances, when two people met for the first time, exchanging greetings and becoming somewhat familiar was enough.】

【Even if there was something to discuss, it would be saved for the next meeting to avoid being abrupt—this was basic social etiquette.】

【So Ye Yu prepared to leave directly.】

【But unexpectedly, Cui Hongyuan stepped forward to stop him.】

【He placed a recording stone into Ye Yu’s hand and said softly, “I heard you were coming, brother-in-law. The second and third houses should arrive this afternoon. They’re not on good terms with the first house. This contains some basic information about them—it should be helpful to you.”】

【After saying this, Cui Hongyuan quickly left, wearing a meaningful smile as he departed.】

【This behavior left Ye Yu quite puzzled.】

【What was that supposed to mean?】

【Ye Yu didn’t immediately open the recording stone. Instead, he went to find Cui Yanshui and told her everything that had happened.】

【Her reaction was calm.】

【“Since he gave it to you, just keep it. He’s one of ours. The first house and the second and third houses have always been at odds. He’s worried they might make things difficult for you this afternoon, so he’s showing goodwill in advance.”】

【Hearing this, Ye Yu put away the recording stone, planning to study it later.】

【But then, upon further thought, something felt off.】

【“We’re only pretending to be engaged. We agreed from the start that it was just for appearances. Why do I have to get involved in your family’s internal disputes now? If the second and third houses don’t get along with you and might target me, I can just not attend this afternoon, right?”】

【“There’s no need to study their information at all.”】

【Cui Yanshui nodded in agreement.】

【“That makes sense. Although they’re coming under the pretense of seeing you, you can claim you’re unwell and skip the meeting. But then you won’t receive their gifts.”】

【The words “gifts” made Ye Yu’s eyes light up instantly!】

【The Cui family was famously wealthy!】

【In the God Realm, they could practically be described as outrageously rich!】

【This was evident just from the lavish dowry they had prepared!】

【Even though the second and third houses were not on good terms with the first, they still had to give gifts out of courtesy.】

【Considering their status, those gifts would definitely be substantial!】

【After thinking this through, Ye Yu immediately changed his mind.】

【“A man can’t say he’s unwell. I’m in excellent condition. So of course I’ll attend. After all, we’re all family!”】

【The corners of Cui Yanshui’s lips curved slightly upward as she silently sipped her tea.】

【Afternoon arrived.】

【Hundreds of God Clan members approached the Cui family’s main peak from both the east and west directions.】

【The heads of the second and third houses did not come personally.】

【Instead, each sent a direct heir to offer congratulations.】

【After all, this was the first visit following the engagement between Xuanji Hall and the Cui family’s direct daughter. Every side naturally needed to display sincerity.】

【Even if it was merely for appearances, it had to be done perfectly.】

【In addition to the second and third houses, various branch leaders of the Cui family also sent gifts.】

【This made the smile on Ye Yu’s face never fade.】

【He even began to think that the most correct decision he had made in this dream might have been entering into an engagement with the Cui family.】

【Too rich!】

【This was just the treatment for a first visit as a future son-in-law.】

【If it came to the actual wedding day, wouldn’t it be absolute madness?】

【Thinking of this, Ye Yu couldn’t help but glance at Cui Yanshui beside him as they welcomed guests together.】

【Honestly, she looked quite good now. She wasn’t clingy or talkative either. Considering the resources involved, a business-style marriage might not be such a bad idea after all!】

【Cui Yanshui immediately noticed his small movement.】

【So she transmitted her voice directly into his mind.】

【“When a man starts looking at a woman unconsciously, it’s the prelude to falling in love.”】

【As a master of romantic affairs, Ye Yu wouldn’t be thrown off balance by such a simple remark.】

【To regain the initiative, he replied with something unrelated.】

【“You seem very confident?”】

【Cui Yanshui met his gaze and said seriously, “I am very confident in myself.”】

【At that moment, a faint glow seemed to radiate from her!】

【A confident person is always the most dazzling!】

【“You two seem very affectionate.”】

【A sweet voice suddenly sounded.】

【Ye Yu turned his head and saw a petite woman already standing before them.】

【From the information in the recording stone given earlier by Cui Hongyuan, it was clear that she was Cui Rui, the direct daughter of the second house!】

【She was also a strong contender for the position of the next Cui family head—and Cui Yanshui’s greatest rival!】

【Her arrival caused Cui Yanshui’s originally cool expression to grow even colder.】

【She didn’t even greet her, only straightened her posture, making her already tall figure appear even taller.】

【At the very least, in terms of height, she could completely crush Cui Rui!】

【This action made Cui Rui extremely displeased.】

【“You’re just as annoying as ever. Even after getting engaged, you’re still the same!”】

【Cui Yanshui said calmly, “People who are disliked are usually just too outstanding, and are resented out of jealousy.”】

【With a single sentence, Cui Rui was left speechless.】

【Ye Yu couldn’t help but give a thumbs-up from the side!】
