Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress novel Chapter 83

Chapter 83: Penny, fighting!

If Penny was drinking water, she would have spat it out already. If she was eating, she would’ve choked.

"Penny, can I woo you?"

Where in the world did that question come from?

Penny’s mouth fell open while the crowd felt their jaws fall to the ground. For a moment, every single soul within the vicinity forgot to breathe as they tried to process five words: Penny, can I woo you?

Penny even felt her guardian angel hum a holy song to cleanse her ears.

Looking at Ray from head to toe, Penny opened her mouth, but then she closed them again. This guy was clearly around seventeen or maybe eighteen! She’s thirteen. At least, that was what her birth certificate said, but this body? Some students from higher grades wanted to tickle her, mistaking her for a kindergartener!

But this guy...

Wasn’t this a crime?

Worse. Why were other students carrying a look of envy as if they wanted to be asked that question?!

Penny blinked many times and looked at Ginnie. "Ginnie, I’m leaving."

"Ah? Huh?" Ginnie turned her head, but her eyes remained on Ray. "What — what — Penny?"

"Penny, you hadn’t answered my —"

Penny looked up at Ray and her answer was a cold and ruthless, "No."

Yet, her refusal only made Ray smile. "You sure?"

Hearing that question, Penny felt her entire core shudder. Why did that question sound more like an omen?

"Is it because of the age gap?" Ray cocked his head to the side, eyes squinting as his smile remained. "Don’t worry, once you’ve turned eighteen, I’m already twenty-two. It’s not a huge gap if you think like that, right? By then, we can get married and no one will criticize it."

"..."

The crowd’s disbelief jumped to the highest level, looking at Ray with widened eyes. Some were just shocked that a boy from a higher grade — from the star section at that — would show an interest in a thirteen-year-old bonsai.

Others, who were very active in such things as relationships and puppy love, couldn’t help but feel heartbroken. Many of them admired the star students; they were the celebrity of the school, after all. Thus, this felt like a rich man falling for the poor girl concept.

Some found it like a fairytale and romantic, others saw this as an abomination. The opinions were equally split.

But what Penny said next threw them all in more disbelief.

"Big brother, it’s not the age gap I am concerned about." Penny sported a disgusted look and made it as obvious as possible so Ray would stop this madness.

"Then, what?" Ray’s face brightened up, putting on his most charming smile.

"You..." she trailed off and assessed his face. "... are not my type."

"???"

"..."

Ray felt like a block of concrete fell on top of his head while the crowd’s mouth gaped wide.

What did she say?

The crowd studied Penny’s figure and were in even more dismay. Compared to the stunning Ray, Penny was short and wide! She was probably the shortest student in the building. Although she was cute because of her smooth complexion and naturally pinkish cheeks, how dare she?!

’This is not the trouble I thought that guy would give me,’ thought Penny, her face scrunching up even more.
