The True Queen

"Your guts, I admire you so much!" Xiu Ling said to Anna, her eyes shining. She's aware of who is Xandros Shu. He's a man of many talents but also really mysterious.

Aside from knowing who he is and the numerous rumors about his talent, nothing else is known. But it's a name feared by many. To be exact, the name of the five "great emperors" of this generation.

Xiu Ling is sure that Anna doesn't know such things. She only stayed in the hospital and didn't go anywhere upon her arrival. Also, knowledge about the five great emperors is hidden. It's not common knowledge.

As for her, she knows because she's a friend of one of the sisters of the emperor, the unruly Master Qin! She rolled her eyes as she remembered the man. Ugh, always tasteless, she mumbles to herself.

"What's up?" Anna asked. She still has a red tinge on her face. She's clearly affected by the scene earlier.

Xandros Shu! I won't forget such a name, the shame of today I'll return tenfold! Anna vowed to herself.

"Anna, how did you meet with the great Shu?" Xiu Ling captured her hands and held them. The people close to her call her Anna as a nickname, and she's okay with it. It reminds her of who she really is and her purpose.

"I just met him," her lips thinned thinking about the man. He's someone she doesn't want to associate, but you can't avoid like the plague. She finds it disgusting that she can remember the man's face.

Even if she closes her eyes, Anna can still see him. She's scared that the man will haunt her dreams.

"What is it?" Xiu Ling comes closer to her, curious.

"You're so nosy," Anna replies. She moves back to the bed and lays down. Xiu Ling pouts.

"Ugh," Xiu Ling rolls her eyes. Anna stares at her, thinking that the Han family really has abundant beautiful genes. Her numerous cousins are all beautiful and handsome. She's wondering if maybe they got their genes engineered. "Well, let me say again! I admire your guts! He didn't kill you too!"

Xiu Ling stares at Anna, believing that her cousin is unique because the great Shu didn't hurt her. Such a miracle happened to her cousin!

"I have an abundance of guts!" Anna rolls her eyes and turns her back to her cousin. She doesn't want to talk anymore and wants to forget this event.

Xiu Ling chuckles. "Weh, Anna, you need to mingle in society soon. The great Shu is the best in our circle. He'll help you mingle, and you can get accepted in the society easier. So you have to make sure to hug his big t.h.i.g.h! Or...what's better is to continue holding on to his "smaller, middle" t.h.i.g.h!"

Xiu Ling chuckles, and Anna blushes. Of course, she knows what she means. Damn, Xiu Ling!

"What the hell is your problem?!" Anna explodes, and she sits up. Her face so red like an apple. Xiu Ling keeps laughing at her expense.

"You look so cute, Anna!" Xiu Ling hugs her tightly. Anna's her favorite cousin, they hadn't seen each other for so long since Anna transferred to France to recuperate when they were kids. But she's still the sweetest in her eyes! "Cousin!" Xiu Ling says dotingly.

Anna tries to push her away as she's uncomfortable, but she lacks the strength. Who knows that a petite Xiu Ling is full of strength?!

"Wow, you guys look so happy. Can I join?"
