Free Web NovelChapter 1980: Chapter 478: Utter Defeat and Genuine Conviction
Watching her little sister clutching her sleeve with a face full of surprise and excitement, Anna’s heart was anything but calm.
She’d heard of Dr. Nyx’s name before, but only in passing. Their lives had never intersected, and no matter how amazing she was, it never caught Anna’s interest. She hadn’t expected that this Princess would actually be the internationally renowned Dr. Nyx from the rumors?
Anna suddenly found it unbelievable. She was only eighteen.
She looked just like a little princess raised in an ivory tower, pampered and cherished, nothing like an Angel in White walking the line between life and death with a scalpel in hand...
"Are you sure it’s her?" Anna pressed, unwilling to give up.
The little sister took another careful look, nodded firmly, and said with her brows dancing, "Yeah, sis, your drawing is actually pretty realistic. She really is super pretty in person, there’s this kind of vibe I can’t describe, anyway she just looks especially wonderful. I’d stan her just for that face alone. It’s just that she’s not from our country, so I have to ’climb the wall’ to see her updates. Lately I’ve been all-in on my male idol, so I haven’t really been following her news." As she spoke, she took out her phone and started searching for her online.
"Huh? What’s going on?" The little sister’s eyes widened in shock.
"What is it?" Anna glanced at the phone screen. In the search bar, typing in "Dr. Nyx" only brought up gibberish.
"Is my phone broken?" the little sister said, looking completely dumbfounded.
Anna took out her own phone, and it was exactly the same.
She tried searching on a computer; it actually showed that the entry didn’t exist. Only then did the two of them realize, a beat late, that this had been wiped from the internet—without leaving the slightest trace.
A world-famous public figure just vanished from the web like that. You could imagine how powerful the people behind this were.
Anna was now certain: this so-called Dr. Nyx was precisely the Princess she had met tonight. Otherwise, there would be no reason for everything about Dr. Nyx to be scrubbed so completely from the internet.
"I know her real name, I’ll try that." Anna switched to another site, entered a Chinese name, and got the same result. She was completely stunned.
"How can this be?"
She hurriedly contacted that classmate of hers, who happened to be frustrated as well. He didn’t know when it had started, but his goddess had been wiped clean from the internet. Everything about Nyx felt as if it had all been just a dream he’d had.
Anna’s expression instantly turned grave. If Dr. Nyx really was this Princess, then with someone that gifted, Xi Lin had truly lost, utterly and completely. But this also provided a clue: starting from the identity of Dr. Nyx, it would be much easier to investigate.
——
Three days later, Sangque officially announced to the public that on July 1st, it would be holding an engagement ceremony for its son Lorde and Country Bauhinia’s Princess Shengxi. Political leaders from many countries had received invitations. Once this news was released, the world was in an uproar.
Lorde was Sangque’s only son. For this son’s marriage, Sangque had always been picky and cautious. No one expected that in the end the bride-to-be would be the Princess of a small country that had suddenly appeared on the scene. What deeper meaning lay behind this? A thousand people had a thousand interpretations, but there was no doubt that the union of these two would be globally eye-catching, and this small, suddenly-rising Country Bauhinia would once again become known to the world because of this political marriage.
"The Sangque President’s son is going to get engaged on July 1st, and his fiancée is a Princess from Country Bauhinia." Reading the front-page headline of the newspaper, Zhuang Xiyue couldn’t help but laugh. "This Country Bauhinia is really strange, huh? Quietly rises out of nowhere, and the moment it appears it’s a huge surprise. What medicine is Sangque selling in that gourd?"
Zhuang Fanxing was lying on the hospital bed. Hearing this, she smiled and said, "These things are too far away from us."
Then she shook her head. "No, they’re not far from you. You and your brother-in-law should receive an invitation when the time comes."
"It’s someone else’s son getting engaged, not my son getting married. Why would I go? I’m staying here with you."
Zhuang Fanxing smiled and patted the back of her hand. Her face was pale, but her spirits were high. "I’m fine on my own. Don’t let me delay things between you and your brother-in-law. Besides, there’s the nanny here too."
"Can a nanny really take care of you wholeheartedly? Say no more, I’m not going anywhere." Zhuang Xiyue said firmly.
"Speaking of engagements, I remember Ah Song and Yun Ya are already engaged, right?"
Zhuang Xiyue nodded with a smile. "Yeah. Once Yun Ya reaches the legal age for marriage, I’ll have them hurry up and get their certificate and tie the knot. Our Yun Ya is way too sought-after, I’m afraid if we drag it out, something might change." That line made Zhuang Fanxing burst out laughing instead. "You girl, what nonsense are you talking? You don’t even have confidence in your own son?"
