When Lian Han finished washing up, she was quite surprised to see that the brother and sister were already dressed and sitting in the living room.
"Anhe, up so early? Don't you usually sleep in?"
Anhe rolled her eyes at him, annoyed. "I was woken up. He's been away for a while, so I hadn't even told him you were here. I didn't expect him to come back so early."
"I just wanted to give you a surprise," Uncle Amber said, gently patting the girl's head with a doting expression.
"Hmph! Stop touching me like that." Anhe turned her head and broke free from his hand.
Lian Han: ...Why does she feel like something's not quite right?
Anhe coughed lightly at this moment, "Ahem, Xiaohan, let me introduce you, this is my boyfriend."
Lian Han: ?!
"Are you kidding me?"
Anhe's expression became much more serious. She knew, of course, that this might be hard for others to accept, but she had thought it through. "I'm serious."
Lian Han: ...
Lian Han looked at Uncle An, then at An He, his face still showing shock, "When did you two start?"
No wonder they all knew that Anhe had a lover, but didn't know who it was.
“You know, we officially started dating about six months ago,” Anhe replied.
"What about before you started dating? Who started it first?"
Amber said, "It's me. I've liked her for a long time."
Lian Han frowned and looked at An He again, "So you like him too?"
“Mm.” Anhe nodded. Although she was initially resistant and afraid, later on—their feelings had long since transcended those of siblings, she was just oblivious.
"You are siblings."
Anhe frowned immediately. "Lianhan, listen! I'm telling you this not so you can break us up."
Lian Han: "...Amber Lance was adopted, so it's true you don't have the same mother, but you have the same father! Don't you know that?"
Now it was Anhe's turn to be confused. Wasn't Uncle An adopted?
"You really forgot about this? It was during that meeting at Skynet, your mother said it herself, and we even had a fight about it back then."
Anhe frowned, vaguely recalling her meeting with Lian Han and her mother at Tianwang. Her mother said that Uncle An was her father's illegitimate son? But afterwards, well, she was saddened by other things her mother said and just kept being sad, and then she forgot about this matter.
Anhe: ...She just accepted the fact that her brother had become her lover, and now she has to reconfirm that he is her brother? They even did that!
Seeing Anhe's utterly devastated expression, Uncle An glared at Lian Han and quickly grabbed the girl's shoulders. "Don't listen to her nonsense. Her information is outdated. Have you forgotten that your mother also supports it?"
That seems so, otherwise the two of them wouldn't be able to sit here so leisurely.
"What's going on now?" Anhe glared at Anbo. "Tell me. What else are you hiding from me?"
“My father and mother told me that I was an illegitimate child, but in reality I was adopted,” Uncle An said helplessly. “There were too many people in the clan who were unhappy with my mother’s commoner status and demanded that my father and mother have a son as soon as possible, but my mother was unwilling to sleep with my father, so she had no choice but to adopt one.”
"Then why did he tell Aunt Shen that you are an illegitimate child? Wouldn't that just create more distance between you?" Lian Han asked, puzzled.
“They had a fight a few days before bringing me back, so it was mostly out of spite. But afterwards, my father couldn’t bring himself to explain, and my mother always seemed indifferent to the matter, so he didn’t say anything more.”
Anhe Lianhan: ...
Anhe's expression was complicated. "Why would he think that if a woman acts like she doesn't care, then she really doesn't care?"
Lian Han then asked, "Are you sure you're not biological siblings? Don't try to fool me."
“Is it true? My mother can testify to this. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have agreed to us being together and would have stopped my father.”
Lian Han: "Oh, so you were scared for nothing."
"I'm the one who was frightened, okay? You almost scared me to death!" Anhe slapped Lian Han on the shoulder.
“My mistake. Now, let’s get back to the point. We really are no longer blood siblings, but outsiders don’t know that. They’ll just think you’re disregarding ethics—well, so what do you plan to do?” Lian Han turned to look at An Bo.
Amber replied, "Given the right opportunity, Amber Lance will die." This was something he had already decided when he confessed his feelings.
“You should know that the Lance family is not like the Ling family. Your clan has many branches. If Amber Lance dies, even if you and Anhe become husband and wife, Lance's family business will not fall into your hands.”
"I'm not short of that money," Anhe said casually.
"I wasn't asking you," Lian Han said irritably. "Brother Anbo, you tell me."
"It's okay. As long as I can be with Anhe, anything is fine."
Uncle An spoke sincerely, and Lian Han carefully examined him but found no trace of lying. He could only say, "Alright, you've passed. But if you dare to let her suffer even the slightest grievance, don't blame me for taking her from you."
"You agreed?" Anhe was surprised; she thought she would have to explain it to her more.
Lian Han raised an eyebrow at her, "You two will break up if I don't agree?"
"impossible."
Lian Han shrugged, then looked at An Bo, "I mean what I say."
"How do you plan to rob it?"
Lian Han smiled, "I have three character cards. Stealing from someone like you, who doesn't have the Lance family backing them, is no problem at all. I could even make someone disappear unexpectedly. Then see who dares to punish me?"
Amber: ...This is a bit too broad a scope. Why does he suddenly feel so dangerous?
An He, however, was not one to shy away from trouble and said, "Why not add General Ning as well?"
