Oh no!

The duke reacted and turned around to push the door open.

The two people sitting by the window heard the commotion and turned around at the same time.

“Dad,” Anna called out happily.

Next to her, Su Ji called out, “Mr. Duke.”

It was a girl…

Moreover, she was not an ordinary girl..

The Duke took half a minute to react.

Wasn’t this Anna’s love rival?? Pei Huai’s fiancée?

What was his daughter doing?

Did she hit her head?

As he was thinking, his daughter ran towards him. Her little princess dress fluttered. “Daddy, let me introduce you. This is Su Ji. She’s Pei Huai’s future…”

The Duke coughed and interrupted her. He sized Su Ji up and looked away. “I know who she is.”

His attitude was arrogant.

She turned around and was about to leave, but she almost bumped into Pei Huai, who had just entered the room.

Pei Huai said expressionlessly, “Mr. Duke, my fiancée is waiting to shake hands with you. ”

Was she?

Then, just as the duke looked back at Su Ji, Su Ji extended her hand.

The Duke was silent for a few seconds, but he still shook hands with Su Ji.

A group of people came out of the room.

In the kitchen, lunch was ready.

Anna sat next to Su Ji while Pei Huai sat on the other side of Su Ji.

Du Meilan prepared Chinese food today.

Preserved egg, pork intestines, pig trotters…and other Chinese delicacies.

She introduced the dishes to the duke, who was absent-minded. From time to time, he would give her a polite but awkward smile.

Pei Qingshen sat in the main seat with dignity. “Are you not used to eating these?”

The duke sighed. “Not at all.”

After saying that, he took two mouthfuls of rice and pretended to like it.

However, he didn’t know what he was eating.

He was so angry that he didn’t have any appetite!

He did not know what his daughter was thinking about. She had been here for a month and did not build a relationship with Pei Huai. Instead, she was sticking to his fiancée every day.

There was only one prawn left on the plate. The Duke had an idea and winked at Anna.

Anna nodded and put it on Su Ji’s plate.

“Eat this.”

Pei Huai glanced at the prawn on Su Ji’s plate and took it back a few seconds later. He looked at the Duke. “When are you going to pick Anna up?”

Anna:

Her big watery eyes were filled with the desire to win.

The Duke knew that she had to stay longer. “I’m really sorry. I should have picked her up in a month, but recently, something happened to my son. We are really busy…”

Pei Xi whispered into Du Meilan’s ear, “I think they must steal either Pei Huai or Su Ji. Otherwise, they won’t give up.”

However, she spoke in a slightly louder voice, and the Duke seemed to have heard her.

Du Meilan’s eyes met the duke’s and she smiled awkwardly.

The Duke laughed as well, and he was even more embarrassed than she was!!

After lunch, the adults chatted in the living room while Anna and Su Ji drank tea and ate cake on the balcony.

During this time, they also discussed Miyazawa Ta.

Gradually, the adults’ conversation became the background noise.

Su Ji flipped through a page of the magazine. “The Duke thought that your brother saved you.”

Anna’s hand that was holding the teacup paused.

After a few seconds of silence, she said, “my body has recovered, and he has been punished. That’s good enough.”

“This is not the same thing.” Su Ji read the contents of the magazine and used a knife to cut the soft cake into a triangle. “Although he couldn’t get out of bed for a few months, he became a hero.”

She put the cake into her mouth and looked at Anna. “Anna, was this how you used to live at home?”

She was resigned to her fate.

Anna looked away. The voice recording that her stepbrother had tricked her into recording, along with a strong sense of shame, surged into her mind.

“If you don’t fight back, you’ll be trampled on forever.” Su Ji swallowed the cake and looked at the magazine again.

Fight back…

Anna had never thought of this. She was trembling with fear every day, only thinking about how to escape from him.

She had never thought of retaliating.

Anna looked at her father, who was speaking with confidence in the living room. He was so proud when he mentioned Miyazawa Ta, and so doting when he mentioned Miyazawa Rei.

“My father will not believe me…” Anna lowered her eyes and said softly, “my brother won’t admit it. My stepmother will cover it up for him. My father will look at me strangely…” Su Ji raised her eyebrows. “Maybe.”

Anna’s eyes dimmed.

“Unless…” Su Ji’s tone changed. Anna raised her long eyelashes and looked at her.

Su Ji smiled. “Unless you have irrefutable evidence.”

She remembered Anna’s supplementary card.

There was only one supplementary card. Anna had it, but Miyazawa Rei didn’t.

Su Ji pondered for a moment.

“It’s worth a try,” she said.

Anna looked at her, and her clear eyes had a natural calming power. Her eyes gradually lost focus, and her thoughts were pulled away by something.

She seemed to have smelled Su Ji’s natural fragrance again…

The Duke left in the evening. He was too busy with work in Continent O. He only had three days in China, and the round trip took two days. He had to go back to the hospital to see his son before he returned.

At the hospital, Miyazawa Rei was in the ward.

A nurse was cutting fruits for Miyazawa Ta. Miyazawa Rei stared at the nurse’s movements. If the nurse was not careful when peeling the fruit, she would point it out and ask her to do it again.

Miyazawa Ta, who was lying on the hospital bed, had a thick bandage on his face. “Mom, you said that dad went to the Pei family today…”

Miyazawa Rei was also a little worried, but she still patted his hand to comfort him.

As the two of them were thinking about this, footsteps came from outside the corridor. The Duke had returned.

The man’s iron-toed leather shoes made a clattering sound as he stepped on the ground.

Before he entered the room, the two of them were worried.

However, when they saw the Chinese delicacies that the duke had brought back, they looked at each other and felt relieved.

The duke said, “they are all Chinese delicacies. Try it. You might not be used to it the first time, but the more you eat, the better they taste.”

The nurse took the container. Miyazawa Rei smiled and let her take it to the side. “Honey, you forgot that the doctor said he can’t eat a lot of things.” The Duke nodded in realization. “Ah, my bad.”

After saying that, he sat beside the bed and asked Miyazawa Ta how he was.

Miyazawa Ta looked past him and exchanged glances with Miyazawa Rei, who was standing behind him.

At that moment, the two of them revealed a very determined expression at the same time.

He knew that Anna didn’t have the guts.

There was no need to be worried at all..
