Mu Xi is a very good boy, and Mrs. Mu is also a very good mother. She understands both, but understanding is not the same thing as marriage. She does not love Mu Xi, she... loves her fake brother.

Attack the sky mark...!

"I think... let's put the marriage aside for now. It's too late to think about these things again after I graduate. Besides... Mom, I want to find a boy I like."

"I understand what you mean, baby."

Patting Dai Meng's hand, Anna Nair looked at her deeply. Her gaze made her a little confused. It seemed gentle and yet...

"Xiaomeng, you won't let mom down, right?"

She hugged Dai Meng gently and said, "Mom, I'm just a daughter like you. It's okay for you to choose your husband, but...you must remember that he is a man who suits your status and is also suitable for...our family's status. You understand what Mom wants."

Do you mean it?"

"...Well, I understand."

Anna Nair's question made Daimeng couldn't help but tremble in her heart, as if something was revealed in every word, which made her a little overwhelmed and even a little panicked. Could it be that her mother...could...see something?

Alright...?

"There is one more thing that mom wants to remind you."

Anna Nair sighed softly, stood up gently, and picked up a small photo frame placed on Dai Meng's bedside table. It was a photo of Dai Meng and Xi Tianhen when they were children. The girl and boy in it were smiling happily.

They look like brothers and sisters and lovers at the same time. People can't help but raise the corners of their lips when they look at them.

"Xiaomeng, although you and Hen are not much different in age, he is your brother after all."

Touching the two people in the photo, Anna Nair couldn't help but smile lovingly. Her two children were really her pride. They had always been so bright and sunny since they were young, which made her always overjoyed. They had never been unfilial.

She has never been angry. How could such a filial child be better than them?

Just...just one thing...since 2 years ago...there is one thing that always makes her uneasy...

"Xiaomeng, it's time for you to try calling Brother Hen."

"mom…!"

"I know, you're just used to it."

He gently rubbed Dai Meng's head, "Baby, he is your brother. No matter what the reason is, it must be clear that he is your brother. Otherwise... one day, you will forget that he is your brother. That will not be good...

"

With a serious voice, Ana Nair's words made Dai Meng bite her lip and pretend to be calm with a smile, "Mom...then please tell me the answer I've always wanted..."

Taking a deep breath, Dai Meng looked at Anna Nair's eyes and said word by word, "Why...hen and my last name are different?"

Ever since she was sensible, she has never understood this problem, why her and her "brother's" surnames are different. Her surname is Dai, his is Xi, and her father's surname is also Xi. She is the only one who neither takes her father's surname nor her surname.

Not taking her mother's surname, she never understood why she was so unique, as if...she didn't seem to belong to this family...

She had asked her mother, her father, and even Xi Tianhen, but they never gave her a clear explanation, and it wasn't until she knew that Xi Tianhen was not her biological brother that she understood that maybe...

She is not the biological daughter of her parents...

If she and Xi Tianhen are not related by blood, then... what is her identity...? Mom, does she... know something...?
