A second chance with my billionaire husband

Chapter 1979: Chapter 478: Utter Defeat and Admitting Respect

Xi Lin pursed her lips. Her father returned home yesterday and didn’t say a word. After that, he locked himself in the study, and she had no idea what he discussed with Mr. Sangque.

Seeing her expression, Anna knew that there was no hope from Mr. Haize, otherwise, they wouldn’t have been caught so off guard without any hint beforehand.

"Now we can only rely on ourselves." Anna patted her shoulder, "Xi Lin, believe in yourself, we can definitely succeed."

Xi Lin’s eyes flashed darkly, and she nodded silently.

On the way home, Anna kept pondering where she had met this Princess. When she got home, her little sister was swooning over a newly famous idol on her phone, dreaming of a love story between a superstar and a little fan. Anna suddenly thought of something and snatched her sister’s phone, causing her sister’s dissatisfaction: "Sis, what are you doing?"

Anna opened her social account and searched through a plethora of gossip news for that familiar face.

Seeing her so anxious, her little sister curiously asked, "Sis, what are you looking for?"

Anna suddenly glanced at her little sister, a middle schooler in her teens, at the height of her fandom craze, knowing all sorts of idol and entertainment gossip by heart. She suddenly went to the room and took out a drawing board and pencil. If the family hadn’t opposed, she might have already become a painter by now; drawing was her forte.

After going through it once in her mind, she picked up the pencil, sketching a few strokes to outline the face: an elegant oval face, a tapering chin, one less is less, one more is more—as if crafted carefully by the hands of God.

Dense, seaweed-like long hair casually draped over her shoulders.

A delicate and pronounced nose, supporting the whole facial structure, petite and exquisite vermilion lips.

Her little sister watched from the side, "You’re drawing a person..."

When it came to drawing the eyes, Anna suddenly paused, those eyes emerged in her mind, but she just couldn’t bring herself to draw.

Such a pair of eyes, no brush could capture.

Brows like distant mountains, eyes like stars, in a gentle smile, there’s an endless flow of elegance and nobility, in lowering her head, exuding a mysterious and gentle charm.

Adding on these eyes, Anna frowned, still feeling it wasn’t right; the drawn eyes were not even a tenth of it, but she managed to capture the essence, making the painting lively.

Her little sister exclaimed, "What a beautiful person, Sis, who is she?"

Anna raised the painting and gazed at it from afar, "Sis’s drawing skills are inadequate, only capturing a tenth of the essence."

"A tenth? Oh my, how beautiful must she be in person, I can’t imagine," her sister admired more and more, "give it to me then, maybe by looking at it every day, I’ll become this beautiful too?"

Anna hit her sister’s reaching hand, "Have you seen this person before?"

Her sister pointed at the painting, then at herself, shocked: "How is that possible? Such a beautiful sister, I wouldn’t forget if I’d seen her once."

"Think carefully again," Anna reminded, "She’s from Country Hua, very young, at most no more than eighteen."

Her sister scratched her head in distress, "But I really don’t have any impression."

Anna sighed, she was too naive. As a nation’s Princess, how could she show herself in public? Maybe she had met someone similar looking before.

Just as she was about to put away the painting, her sister suddenly said, "Wait."

Her sister took the painting and looked at it closely, suddenly frowned, saying: "She looks like..."

"Who?" Anna gazed at her tightly.

"Dr. Nyx."

Her sister slammed the table, "That’s right, it’s Dr. Nyx, I wouldn’t mistake it. A classmate of mine admires Dr. Nyx greatly, and is determined to become an outstanding surgeon like her when grown up. But Dr. Nyx has always been very mysterious. Until not long ago, Dr. Nyx’s identity was revealed, she was not only a young girl but also heir to a prominent family in Country Hua. When my friend found out, he went crazy, idolizing her as a genius among geniuses, achieving honors others can’t attain in a lifetime at just ten-something, and although she could rely on her looks, she’d rather depend on talent—my classmate told me and I revered her too. However, there’ve been no news of her for a long time; the last update my friend got was she might have gone abroad for advanced studies..."

The girl chattered on and finally added, "Sis, have you met her? Tell me where she is? My classmate would be ecstatic."
