He hadn’t changed much from ten years ago, but there was a more mature aura around him, which was a little scary.

Anna was very quiet when she walked. She didn’t make any sound, and no one noticed her.

But at this moment, someone spoke to Pei Huai.

Pei Huai looked over and replied to that person.

If he looked further in that direction, he would be able to see Anna.

Anna didn’t have time to react at all. As if it was a conditioned reflex, she quickly retreated into the corridor.

Her heart was beating so fast that it was about to jump out.

However, her back almost hit something. She was so scared that she almost made a sound. Fortunately, she covered her mouth in time.

“Miss Anna,” the waiter politely held her. “How can I help you? Your brother is looking for you. Do you need me to bring you back?”

“I, I, I…” Anna’s heart suddenly palpitated, and she could not say anything.

The waiter did not reveal anything on his face, but he was muttering in his heart.

Wasn’t she cured of her stutter?

Anna couldn’t refuse, so she was brought back to the room.

Miyazawa Ta stared at her porcelain face from a very close distance. The lotion on her body smelled nice, the kind used by aristocratic children in Continent M.

He was very concerned. “Anna, what took you so long? Were you lost?”

“Your face is so red. Did you bump into someone…or did you drink? It’s not good for someone so young to drink.”

Anna was shaking violently. She was afraid as the duke was not there.

Miyazawa Rei coughed lightly and gave her son a look.

He smiled wickedly. “You told me to protect my sister.”

“Alright.” Rei stood up with a glass of wine in her hand. “Come with me to meet a few people.”

“Yes, mom.”

After the mother and son left, Anna frantically took a pill.

When her heartbeat finally calmed down, she left the room again.

However, when she returned to the corridor, Pei Huai was no longer there.

She clenched her fist and pressed it against her chest. She did not dare to ask the waiter.

Later, in a quiet place on the other side, she finally saw him again.

However, this time, he was standing with another man. The atmosphere was far less relaxed.

The window was open, so she couldn’t hear what they were saying, but she didn’t go any closer.

Pei Huai stood against the light. His tall figure was like a pine tree, but the smile on his lips was sarcastic and cold.

Both of their expressions were very calm.

However, Anna saw that a wine glass had shattered less than ten centimeters away from Pei Huai’s feet. It seemed like something had happened here just now.

Anna’s heart clenched.

She still remembered that day. Ten years ago, Pei Huai had just come to State M to study, and her father had welcomed him very warmly.

At that time, her father had not remarried, and she had no other siblings at the age of eight.

Anna, with her curly hair, hid in a corner with her doll in her arms. She secretly looked at him.

At that time, she still had a stutter. When she spoke, people would always laugh at her, so she didn’t like to talk.

She knew that the servants were talking about her behind her back, saying that she was as beautiful as a doll, but unfortunately, she was a doll that could not speak.

At that time, Pei Huai was younger, but his height was the same as now. His figure was no different, and he already looked like a man. To her, he was like a big brother.

Later, her father often sent her to him as he liked him very much. Anna had been afraid of her strict father since she was young. She had never seen her father like anyone so much.

He was always courteous but cold towards others, even if they were important people. Perhaps it was this aura that made her feel close to him, or perhaps it was something else that attracted her. Anyway, she began to look forward to seeing him..

He would put his hand on her wrist, take her pulse, and even prescribe medicine for her.

At first, she did not want to take it because the medicine was very bitter.

He patted her head and fed her a mouthful. The medicine he gave her was actually sweet.

Sometimes, he was very gentle, and sometimes, he was strict. She did not like to talk, but he often asked her to talk.

“If you don’t tell me, I won’t know what you want.” That’s what he used to say.

Just like that, Anna was asked to speak more and more.

Pei Huai would slowly correct her pronunciation when she did not pronounce it properly.

He spoke foreign languages very well, even better than many locals.

Most of the time, Anna would listen to him very carefully, but occasionally she would be distracted because his lips were very beautiful.

He was very patient in everything he did, except towards girls his age.

Many attractive girls in school would talk to Anna in order to get close to him, praise her for being cute, and buy her toys.

Anna used to be a little messenger to help those college students send love letters to him, but she had never seen him read any of them.

Anna still blushed when she thought about it. She somehow found the courage to ask him one day, “will you stay here forever?”

“No.” Pei Huai’s face was calm when he answered. He was emotionless.

He said that he would go to other countries, but even he didn’t know what he was looking for.

Anna remembered this vividly.

Perhaps to attract his attention, Anna said, “I can see the future. I can see that the person you’re looking for is a girl. A very beautiful girl!” Actually, the girl she was talking about was herself.

Pei Huai looked at her and smiled. “I see.”

That smile was so beautiful.

The eight-year-old girl’s heart was quietly sprouting.

The sound of footsteps pulled Anna back to reality. She looked up with fear. Pei Huai had already finished talking to the man opposite her, and the two of them were walking in different directions.

She followed behind.

She watched as he said something to the beautiful Asian woman before leaving the venue early.

The entrance of the venue was heavily guarded, and it was as if Anna was isolated inside.

She hesitated.

If she went out, her father would be furious if he couldn’t find her.

She hadn’t seen him for ten years and had been following him online every day. Now that she finally saw him, she didn’t even dare to talk to him…

A warm breeze blew, and Anna’s naturally curly light blonde hair was messed up by the wind.

She clenched her fists, mustered her courage, and rushed out..
