“I won’t get married. I got late stage cancer.” Xiao Mingyuan sighs heavily and reluctantly at Xiao Mingluo.
Xiao Mingluo’s face changes and smiles. “Ge, are you kidding me?”
With forced footsteps, Xiao Mingyuan moves forward and reaches out to touch his hair. His thick hair is a wig, and once he removes it, the only thing exposed is his bald head. Xiao Mingluo’s heart tightens. His lips move, but no words spill.
Mingyuan smiles wanly. “I have been jealous of you for more than 20 years. You have been given the inheritance by doing nothing. That’s what I thought until now. Now, I understand that you deserve it because your heart is in the right place. This is probably what the elders saw and understood.”
“Gege… .” Xiao Mingluo shakes his head, a tear slides down his perfect face.
“The doctor said I’m running out of time. I just hoped to say “I’m sorry” to you who has been constantly supporting me. Will you forgive me, Mingluo?” He laughs, yet tears start falling simultaneously.
Mingyuan used to be completely blinded by power. But now, he can finally let go of everything. If this is his fate, then no one should be blamed, let alone his younger brother. He can only blame himself.
“Gege!!!” Xiao Mingluo steps forward and hugs Mingyuan. He has never been so close to his brother’s heart.
Time passes so quickly… .

Inside the black Bentley
“Sure enough, my An Chuxia is the most beautiful!” Jiang Yuan looks at An Chuxia with satisfaction. Her big eyes are rimmed with eyeliner, and her green eyeshadow matches her low-cut evening dress. The white gold necklace sparkles on her neck, making her look so noble.
Even Jiang Yuan can’t help but notice.
“Mommy, don’t say it. I’m self-conscious as it is.” An Chuxia says calmly, despite being surprised at her own reflection.
“I’m being honest!” Jiang Yuan’s voice falls as the car stops.
They both get out of the car outside the establishment. A red carpet leads them in. Trying to ignore the looks shot their way, An Chuxia and Jiang Yuan walk to the party, and onto the dance floor.
“Madam, it’s our pleasure to have you here.” The headmaster reaches out and shakes hands with Jiang Yuan. After a beat, the topic turns to An Chuxia.
“I wonder if the news on the paper a few days ago is true? The newspaper stated that the future Han matriarch will be someone else other than… .”
“Paradoxes. We are the Hans, and the only future matriarch is Chuxia,” Jiang Yuan quickly interrupts the headmaster. “Is it almost time? I will go and prepare my speech and take care of things in the process.”
“Please… .” The headmaster naturally doesn’t dare contradict her as he walks Jiang Yuan to the center of the dance floor. The spotlight is adjusted, and the noisy room quickly becomes quiet.
“Good evening, everyone. I am Stein College’s director… .”
Jiang Yuan introduces herself and takes charge of the microphone. With her Han persona, she is completely different. An Chuxia is rendered speechless.
“An Chuxia.” Nangong Zifei’s voice comes from behind…
