"I actually didn't want to tell you. But the main reason was because a brazen idea came to my mind after I saw that mural."
"What idea?"
"I wanted to use your hair sample to get a DNA test done. I wanted to verify if we were related by blood."
"Psht." An Xiaoning had never expected that to be his reason.
"That's why I didn't tell you. I was afraid that you would be repulsed."
"Why would I be?"
As soon as she finished her sentence, Xiao Lu reported, "Young Madam, the people from the Donggong family are here. They're right outside the entrance."
She had long expected that they would come for her, just not so soon.
"Let them in."
"Alright."
"Should I… hide?" he asked.
"No, what for? Are you afraid of them?"
"Of course not."
An Xiaoning waved at the servant and said, "Make me another cup of coffee."
"Alright, Young Madam."
