Since using another person's body to spy would cause irreversible consequences, Anya had to get out of bed and open the door herself to reveal the truth.

The moment the door opened, the black-haired girl was horrified, perhaps because she didn't realize how quickly and quietly the room owner opened the door. The girl looked around and pretended to be a passing waiter, and then she dared to look at Anya. With her exquisite dress and flawless face, she didn't look like a waiter at all.

When Anya was still Young Master An in the past, and of course he still is now... he often saw all kinds of women, and there were countless beauties who took the initiative to show their courtesy to him, but this was the first time he had seen a girl as small and charming as the one in front of him.

The girl was completely different from the adult lolita girls like Xu Sinuo and Luo Ni. She looked like a minor, but she was inexplicably mature. She smiled at Anya implicitly, as if she was about to jump up and down at any time, and took the initiative to hold Anya's soft hand.

"You are my sister, right?"

Anya, who was about to greet her politely, was startled. She looked at the girl who called her sister with suspicion and was surprised to find that she had a little resemblance to herself. Although the resemblance was not so much that she could not be called the childhood version of Naya, it was enough to be shocking.

When did I have a younger sister? Anya pulled out her hand that was tightly held by the girl, feeling a little suspicious.

The girl burst out laughing, "Sister, you are so cute."

"Wait, don't call me sister yet."

Anya turned and glanced at Anxin, making sure her sister was asleep, then she stepped forward, walked out of the room and gently closed the door before looking at the girl again.

"You must be mistaken. I don't have any other sisters."

"Yes, your name is Anya, and you are the daughter of An Moshu." The girl stated her identity and shook her finger as if to remind her.

"Think about it,"

Anya then remembered her identity in the outside world. Anya was An Moshu's daughter, and An Moshu's interpersonal relationships in District 1 were still a mystery. That woman was actually her father's true identity. She could hide it from everyone, and it wouldn't be excessive to add one more thing, such as having an illegitimate daughter.

She looked at the girl who was suspected to be her father's illegitimate daughter and frowned.

“I’ve never heard of a mother having a daughter.”

"Can't I call you sister?" The girl showed a sly smile, like a little fox's conspiracy, "I have no blood relationship with Madam An Moshu. If we really want to talk about blood relationship, I really have the blood of the An family."

After saying that, she took out her phone and flipped through the photo album with some pride. Anya saw the photo on it, a girl with black hair and contact lenses sitting at the dining table, with a dim candlelight and endless darkness behind her. This was actually the last family dinner, and the woman in the photo next to her was actually Nuolu.

The girl proved her identity with just a photo. Anya also vaguely remembered that there was indeed such a girl at the last family dinner. When she was paying attention to Nuolu's every move, she accidentally glanced at the girl, but did not pay much attention to it. Now she thinks that she should be a child from a family in the first district.

There is a resemblance between him and me...

"Sister, my name is Nuo, just one word." The girl introduced herself enthusiastically, opening her watery black eyes wide, "I came here specifically to see you, but I don't want to disturb your rest. But I may have come at the wrong time, you..."

Nuo's gaze moved down. Anya was only wrapped in a blanket with nothing on.

Anya lowered her head and was silent for a while, then opened the door and went in. Her sister was still unconscious. She changed her clothes and went out again to face this child who might have a close relationship with An Moshu.

Chapter 146: Promise (IV)

The restaurant on the first floor of the mansion was almost empty. Apart from some yawning waiters, there was no other person in sight.

When Anya walked towards the girl, she was stuffing dessert into her mouth. The breakfast did not seem to be pre-made. Although the ingredients were prepared in advance, they had to be cooked on the spot. Nuo watched Anya sit down with his beautiful eyes and poured her a glass of juice attentively.

"Good morning, sister. I don't know if I disturbed your rest just now."

Nuo was still upset about what had just happened and thought that his sneaky behavior had woken up his sister.

She seemed to be a very sensitive girl, and she always felt that if it weren't for her, Anya would still be resting in her room. The nobles were used to staying up late and having wild parties, so they all dreamed and slept in the morning.

"It's okay. I woke up anyway. I went to bed early yesterday."

Anya took a sip of juice, put down the cup and continued:

"I just opened the door to have breakfast, not because of you. But I'm curious how you knew I lived in that bedroom."

Anya and Anxin had separate rooms, and outsiders would not have thought that she had been sleeping in her sister's room, and her own room had always been occupied by her younger sister Anxiao. She looked at the girl curiously, trying to observe some suspicious points. Unless someone told Nuo, she would not come to her door accurately.

In this mansion, not only the An family members lived, but also the heirs from other branches of the third district. Hundreds of people gathered together, which was simply the base of the An family and the nest of monsters. However, none of these people knew about her relationship with her sister, and Ling didn't seem like a person who would tell secrets.

Nuo rolled his eyes, as if thinking, and spoke hesitantly, "I saw you enter that room last night."

Anya was stunned, she had never thought about this.

"Did you see it? Did you see anything else?" Anya asked as if nothing had happened, hoping that a little girl wouldn't think too much.

"I saw you, sister, enter the room with an older sister."

Although Nuo was a girl, she was not harmless at all, and had a mature soul hidden in her body. She smiled cunningly and raised her eyebrows.

"That should be Sister An Xin, the future heir of our family."

"Don't get me wrong. I was just discussing some issues with her at night." Anya said with a dignified demeanor and a very firm aura.

She lowered her eyes and took a sip of juice. "That's all."

"I know, I know. Sister Anya was discussing academic matters with Sister Anxin. I heard it all while standing in the corridor. It should be about academic knowledge on biology." The girl nodded quickly, "and it was quite intense."⑶

Anya hesitated for a moment, "You... heard it? In the corridor?"

"The room is well soundproofed, ordinary people can't hear it. But Sister Anya, do you think that we who have the blood of white butterflies can be ordinary people?" Nuo took a bite of the dessert nonchalantly, "You know that we have a strong sense of hearing. In fact, we have known for several days..." Jiu

"Don't talk about that." Anya interrupted the topic quickly, still without changing her expression.

"Just pretend you didn't hear anything."

"Oh."

Nuo raised his head and clapped his hands, "Waiter, why hasn't breakfast arrived yet?"

The waiter came over with a dining cart, wearing a waiter's uniform but a chef's hat. He placed breakfast on the table with a smile and collected the desserts carefully.

"Wow, today's breakfast has finally changed. There are grilled sausages, bacon bread, and milk and cereal." Nuo's eyes lit up.

Anya only took a bite of the chopped pork elbow and watched the girl eating frantically. She frowned and felt something was wrong, but couldn't tell where it was. When she went back to her room to get dressed, she investigated Nuo's identity. It turned out that Nuo was from the family and was with An Moshu.

An Mochen is An Moshu, this is a clear fact, but in the past An Moshu never said that there was such a girl around her, nor did she let her appear in public.

"Nuo, you said your name is Nuo."

She looked at the girl and slowly told her the results of her investigation.

"Nuo, born on September 2029, 9 in Sadbelya Port, District 27, female. Your mother is from the side branch of the Bernie family and has one-eighth of the An family's bloodline, and your father is just a crew member of a transoceanic fishing boat. On the seventh day after you were born, your parents were killed by aliens, and you were adopted by the head and his wife of the Bernie family. Three years later, due to the bankruptcy of the Bernie family and the imprisonment of its core members, you were finally brought into the family by my mother, An Moshu, the head wife of the An family."

"Hey, hey!" Nuo stared, "Why are you checking so much!"

Anya continued:

"My mother was only responsible for taking you into the family. After that, you were left alone. Few people knew of your existence. You were like a secret."

"Your real name should be No. Ann Rebalco, or No. Ann Bernie." She looked straight into the girl's eyes.

"Perhaps my investigation is not thorough. After all, time is limited. I am very curious about why you were able to enter the last family dinner. According to the current investigation, you have no outstanding qualities. You are ordinary. You will only turn 18 in a few months. You are neither an executive nor have you inherited the family business and carried it forward. Your experience so far is too blank. It's as if you are just a stay-at-home girl hidden by my mother."

"Your mother never told me that she had a daughter." Nuo hummed and took a bite of the sausage, chewed it and said, "Sister, are you doubting me?"

"It's not suspicion. I completely believe that you are a member of the An family. I'm just curious why mother wants to hide your existence. In this family, everyone has value. If they don't have value, they will be abandoned. The value of the main family is innate and exists from birth, while the value of the branch families depends on whether they can gain enough benefits for the family."

Anya casually cut the sausage and dipped it in the salty and spicy sauce.

"So you must have value, hiding your value from everyone else. Your presence at the last family dinner is enough to prove it. Although your seat is not high, lower than Nuolu, at least Nuolu is the head of a family and the general secretary of the FACA branch. You can sit at the same table with her, I'm afraid you are not simple."

"I understand what you mean, sister."

Nuo nodded, quite well behaved.

"You are just feeling uneasy because of me. You feel that your mother suddenly has a sister hiding next to her, and this sister is likely to be as valuable as Miss Nuolu, especially since she suddenly meets you. Don't worry, sister, I won't compete with you for Madam An Moshu's inheritance or anything like that."

"I'm not saying that you will threaten my inheritance rights." Anya was stunned. She had never thought of this. "I'm just curious about you."

"It's nothing. The reason I was able to appear at the last family dinner was actually because I asked for it."

"Begging... for it?"

"I want to meet the heirs of our family. This is also the wish of many people, isn't it?" Nuo stuck out his tongue. "Sister An Xin, brother An Ran, or sister An Xiao, it's a pity that I didn't have the chance to meet them last time. Madam An Moshu generously gave me a place. The right to speak in the family is completely equal to that of the wife of the head of the family."

"This is also an opportunity, they are all here." Anya seized the loophole. They had been in the first area for half a month, but Nuo had not said hello.

I just found out about this girl today.

"I just came here from another place four days ago, and I couldn't find the three of them." The girl was quite emotional. "Sister An Xin is too cold, I don't dare to approach her. Brother An Ran is nowhere to be seen all day. I have met Sister An Xiao a few times, but she doesn't pay much attention to me."

"My cousin..." Anya tapped the table and thought for a moment, "He is very busy."

"Tsk, it's none of my business whether he's busy or not. I don't want them to know me anyway." Nuo stirred the milk cereal and supported his chin with his left hand. "I don't care about these heirs. In fact, I just want to see you, sister. I'm very curious about Madam An Moshu's daughter."

"Now that you've had enough of the contact, what do you think of me?" Anya's eyes twitched, wanting to know how others viewed her.

Nuo bit the spoon and thought for a while, "You lack a sense of security. The first thing you do when you meet a stranger is to investigate his background. You regard everything around you as a potential enemy."

Chapter 147: Promise (V)

Anya wanted to refute, but was slightly stunned when she thought about this sentence carefully. This was indeed a habit she had developed in the past, and there was really nothing to deny.

She looked at the girl for a while. Then she drank the juice. Nuo stood up immediately like a strict housekeeper and filled her glass with juice again. This seemed to be a harmonious breakfast. The other party was a distant relative with a weak family bloodline. The girl looked at Anya with her eyes open, and seemed a little nervous.

"You've got it right. This is indeed me." Anya stroked the rim of the cup with her fingers, smiled and shook her head, "Are you surprised? I'm actually a very insecure person."

"Me too, so I prefer to stay in a more closed place. My room is very small, so small that there is only a bed and no extra space for a cabinet."

Nuo cut the sausage carefully. She was very cautious at first, afraid of cutting her fingers accidentally. Soon she became proficient in the process and followed Anya's example to cut the sausage into four sections, pick up a piece with a fork and put it into her mouth.

She is a quick learner, even if she is clumsy at first.

Anya noticed this, but thought of another level, for example, the girl Nuo had not received professional training from the family.

The An family is not only a family of executives and chaebol, but also a top-level aristocracy. The women in the family will more or less receive ladylike guidance in order to shine in future social occasions, but Nuo obviously did not do that. She ate very voraciously and was very sturdy, and her behavior did not show any sign of being well-trained.

This is a child brought into the family by An Moshu. His father is not a philanthropist who likes to adopt orphans. His seemingly neurotic appearance is actually an extreme profit speculator. The An family is also not an orphanage, which is enough to show that this child has an unusual and special value.

The doubt is that Nuo seems to have not received any training or care from the family. She has been hidden for more than ten years, which means that her value has nothing to do with her social "card". She will not become a white butterfly attending banquets, nor will she join the ranks of the nobles to inherit the family business, but...

Anya narrowed her eyes.

It was rare for her to feel threatened by a seemingly harmless girl. She never believed that her family would do charity and take a child who had lost his parents into the family to be raised freely. This bloodline never believed in any gods, but only in values. As for the value of Nuo...

The phagocytes in Anya's body did not react much. Although there were many suspicious points about the girl, there was no alien aura.

Am I really overthinking it?

"Your room is very small." Anya began to test it step by step, "Is there only one bed?"

"The room the family prepared for me is very small, but it was actually my own request." Nuo told the truth.

She rubbed her nose, but could not hear any complaints:

"If the room is too big, and you're alone looking at the empty space, it's like being alone in the deep sea, reaching out your hand and not being able to touch anything. Whenever the wind blows outside and the curtains sway, you'll wonder if there's someone else in the room... Hey, you won't understand even if I tell you. The sense of security you lack is different from the sense of security I lack."

"If the room is so small that there is only one bed, you will become depressed if you stay there for a long time."

"Who told you that I have to stay in the room for 24 hours?" Nuo rolled her eyes. It turned out that she was not the kind of reserved and timid girl.

"Please... Sister, what I mean is that I'm just afraid of being lonely. A room that's too big will make me feel like an empty-nester. And you imagine everyone around you as an imaginary enemy. You must be suffering from paranoia."

Anya calmly corrected, "You're not an old man, you're a child."

"I'll be 18 in a week!"

"Then you are still underage."

"When I become an adult, I will really be an adult." The girl suddenly said softly.

Anya was stunned and immediately understood what he said.

Some people become adults when they become adults, because no one treats them as children anymore. Children are only children in the eyes of their closest elders. An Xiao has become an adult, but Anya always thinks that her sister is just a child, because she is the closest person to An Xiao in the family, so she instinctively wants to protect her. Anya herself is also a child. In her sister's eyes, she never grew up in that heavy rain.

This reminded her of a photo of an old man and a middle-aged man, a father and son. The man in the photo was obviously taller than the old man, but he was sitting in front, while the old man stood behind the man with his hands on his shoulders. They both smiled at the camera, and the old man's behavior was very natural, and he naturally put his weight on the man, and it was also natural for the man to sit in front.

In the eyes of a father, his son is always a child, always shorter than himself, even when he grows up. As long as his father is alive, he will be the last resort for his child.

Some people remain children when they grow up, while some people become real adults when they become adults.

Anya suddenly understood why Nuo wanted to find her.

Nuo is the daughter of An Moshu. She was brought into the family by An Moshu when she was a few years old, so she instinctively regards An Moshu as the most trustworthy elder. However, since she has been left alone with no one to take care of her, she is very lonely. When she learns that An Moshu has a daughter, she subconsciously regards Anya as her sister. She can't wait to find her sister and meet her. She doesn't want to be lonely. She is also like a child.

A real child.

When she found that Nuo was similar to herself, Nuo also found that Anya was similar to herself. This would undoubtedly make the lonely person who lacks love fall instantly, but Nuo restrained herself very well. At least Anya didn't notice her emotions, but thought that this girl was a little quirky.

Like Naya.

The restaurant clock suddenly rang, it was already eight o'clock.

"Oh my god, it's eight o'clock!" Nuo stopped immediately, looked at the wall clock in astonishment, took off his scarf in a hurry, and looked around.

Anya picked up the nearest wipe and handed it to her, "What's wrong?"

She breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the sudden bell interrupted the topic. She was not good at discussing these emotional topics, so in the past, Director An Ran had always been a straight man with expressionless face. With the blessing of Naya's personality, Anya's identity might be very lively and quirky. Once she came into contact with such topics, she would be speechless and didn't know what to say.

"I'm going back. I came out secretly this time and I have to be back before eight o'clock." Nuo wiped the oil stains on his lips anxiously, took out a lot of wet wipes to wipe his hands, without even raising his head.
