Let’s not mention how Philip and Allen communicate here. After a while, in front of a building in Dongcheng District, a luxury carriage that had just arrived from the North City District was stopped quickly in front of a building that was not large in size but was just as exquisite.

It is just a few exquisite small buildings. In terms of scale, this is certainly not a manor. However, the owner's identity is the same as the surrounding manor and the owner of the castle, and they are all nobles. This is not to say how shabby the nobles living here are, but each noble family has their own landlord house. In other cities, there is no need to exaggerate it. Just build a few small buildings as a place to settle down.

Then, just as Annika, wearing a white cotton dress, walked out of the carriage. In the exquisite building, a young woman wearing a black casual outfit and long ponytail tied up, seemed mature and capable, but not without aristocratic temperament, quickly came out.

He saluted and smiled, "Good morning, Annika, I've been waiting for you for a long time. Why, did Mr. Allen not come?"

"Good morning, Sister Becky." After returning the gift, Annika stepped forward and hugged the young noble woman who called Becky intimately, "Sorry, I made an appointment for you. But a guest came temporarily at home, so he couldn't come this time."

"Oh, that's a pity. But it doesn't matter. I'll have a chance next time." Becky showed a look of disappointment when he heard this, but then he adjusted it very well and said considerately.

"Why have to wait for the next time? Sister Becky." Annika blinked her bright eyes, raised her chin slightly, and proudly showed a few inches of slender jade neck. "I, Annika, will be the person in charge of this cooperation negotiation, and promised the Yatang Business Group to cooperate with the noble family. Hehe..." In the end, she couldn't hold back and covered her mouth and laughed.

Becky was stunned when she heard this. She came back to her senses and shook her head and sighed, "Alan is really good to you!" She paused for a moment. Looking at Annika's proud little look, she laughed and reached out to press her raised chin, "Haha, I understand, Annika, I will flatter you, the young president."

"Becky—Sister—" Annika shook Becky's arm and lowered her slightly blushing face in embarrassment, "Don't make fun of me. Sister is the real female president of a powerful business family."

This is not entirely a praising statement. Annika and Becky have a good relationship, so they naturally know what kind of skills this best friend has. Logically speaking, as a nobleman, it is natural to come into contact with family business. But don’t forget that Becky is an aristocratic lady. The business field is not something she should have involved, nor is it something she is good at. But she not only did it, but also did it very well and was dazzling. This can be seen from the fact that the family will send her over to negotiate with the popular Yatang Business Group this time!

However, Becky did not show the proud and joyful look he should have after receiving praise, but instead raised a bitter curve on the corner of her mouth. She sighed softly: "Is it amazing? It's just that they are forced out..."

Annika thought of something when she heard this, covered her mouth and whispered: "Ah--I'm sorry, Sister Becky, I didn't mean to mention this."

"Haha, it doesn't matter... you enviable little guy." Annika pointed at her forehead and cleaned her expression in an instant. Betsy smiled without caring.

The two stood together. Although they were of the same age, their temperaments were very different. One was mature and calm, and the other was innocent and charming. Annika, who was called the "little guy", didn't care at all. It seemed that she should be like this, holding Becky's arm and acting coquettishly.

"Okay, okay, since Mr. Allen hasn't come, there is no need to be so formal and polite on this date... Let's go, go to my room first, I'll bring you a cup of honey water..."

"Thank you, I need to add sweet pomelo spice."

"I understand, my little president!"

"Oh, Sister Becky, you made fun of me again..."

...

Perhaps because this date is more important and worried that the walls are in trouble, Betsy temporarily dismissed the servants. So when Annika walked into the exquisite building, she did not see any figure.

When he pushed open Becky's room with a familiarity, "Wow—" Annika couldn't help but cover her mouth and exclaimed, with a slightly stunned look on her face.

The room was not big, and it was not as luxurious and exquisite as the noble lady's boudoir. Instead, it looked a little messy. The most conspicuous one was a wide desk, which was much larger than the dressing table, almost equal to the soft bed, with thick books, wool paper, and a glass of unfinished green drink... Oh, it was a kind of refreshing bitterness, used to stay up late to do things. Annika once saw Allen drinking, and she had tasted a little bite, and then never touched it again...

"Sister Becky..." After coming back to his senses, Annika looked at all in front of her, as if she saw Becky wearing a coat, drinking bitter juice, and staying up late to deal with various family affairs... She unconsciously bit her lip, showing admiration and pity, "Too, it's too hard... This shouldn't be something you carry..."

Both nobles and so familiar with each other, Annika naturally knew the situation at Betsy's family.

It was a prominent Earl family, the contemporary old Earl family leader was even the city lord of a city. Becky, as the youngest girl in the family, should have enjoyed a carefree and beautiful life like most noble ladies. However, after the two brothers suddenly passed away one after another, and the old Earl retired from the city lord position, everything changed, and all the family burdens were pressed on her shoulders... In fact, she could not accept it at all. She married into a noble family of equal status step by step. All the pressure would be gone from her, and no one would say anything because of it. But she did not. She chose to participate in family affairs and successively took over the family business burden, and has developed to this day...

"Hey, why don't you go in? What are you doing at the door?" Just as Annika was in a daze, Betsy walked from behind with two light yellow drinks, then looked at Annika's stare, thinking of something, and shrugged apologetically, "Oh, sorry. I saw some things last night and forgot to clean up. It should be very messy inside."

"No, no..." I didn't care just now. Now after seeing the scene in front of me, Annika noticed the faint bloodshot in Becky's eyes and the darkness under the light makeup around her eyes. The unconcealed tiredness color, and couldn't help but step forward and hug her with heartache, "Sister Becky. It turns out... it turns out you have worked so hard all the time."

Becky understood. He shook his head and chuckled, "Ha, it's not always like this, and it's not as hard as you imagine."

"But……"

After waving his hand, Betsy smiled and said, "It's really nothing. I like my current state very much, very fulfilling and a sense of accomplishment!"

It seemed that he didn't want to talk about this, and after a few words of comfort, Betsy put down the tray and casually pulled the topic: "Tell me about you, Annika, I found a good man and got engaged. Well, when will I officially marry?"

After all, it was a noble lady who had never experienced the storm. Annika did not realize that the topic had been taken away. He pouted when he heard this, lay on his back on his back and muttered in silence: "What's good..."

"Yeah?" Becky was surprised. Then he thought of something, frowned slightly, and said seriously, "Are you not satisfied with this? Annika, although Alan is not a nobleman, he is not that handsome. But I believe that when you have enough experience, you will know that he is much better than those nobles who have a better skin but only know how to enjoy it at will!"

"Uh, that's not the case. Sister Becky, you misunderstood." Annika was stunned at first, then quickly sat up, shook her head and denied.

"What's the reason... Well, it's not that there's something wrong with him, right?" Becky touched his chin, and Zheng pointed, "Well, that's really a big problem!"

Although they are elegant nobles, the two women gathered together privately. As long as the relationship is close enough, the content of the conversation is really no taboo. "Ah? No, no, we are not married yet. He respects me very much, and hasn't reached that point... Betsy - sister -"

He acted coquettishly and looked at Becky who was smiling. Annika, who explained in a panic, didn't know that she had been teased. She subconsciously pulled the blanket to cover her face with red clouds, and then stopped holding Becky's delicate body, shaking constantly.

"Okay, okay, it's my sister who was wrong... Don't shake it, but you have to tell me where is the bad thing about him?"

As if he was pulled away from all the strength in his body by this problem, Betsy sat on the wooden chair next to the desk, bit his lips and hesitated for a while, and finally hesitated: "Actually, this is just my intuition. I think Alan doesn't like me that much, at least not his whole heart... When he looked at me, touched my hair, kissed me, he always felt... he was facing another person, and I was just a substitute..."

After a pause, he seemed to suddenly think of something, and continued to worry, "By the way, the last time he went to the north, he said he wanted to take me to meet an extremely important sister named Lina. Sister Betsy, do you know that Lina's appearance and figure are really similar to me. Do you think Ellen...will he really like that Lina?"

As soon as he finished speaking, "Haha..." Becky burst into laughter suddenly, pointing at Annika with a shocked look, leaning over and holding her waist, as if she was about to laugh directly. It was not until Annika showed a look of shame and annoyance that she panted and said, "Annika, Annika, what are you thinking, haha... Then Lina, I know that she is a talented alchemist and the chief designer of creative products of Yatang Business Group. It can be said that the reason why Yatang Business Group has developed to this scale today is that she is the most important meritorious veteran... Allen and she are the closest partners, and are also an orphan. Of course, they have to take them over to meet each other after finding a lover. But you, huh... you are guarding against each other, haha..."

"Don't laugh, Sister Becky... I know all this, but I just feel something is wrong." Annika pouted and said dissatisfied.

Covering his chest and finally stopped his smile, Betsy shook his head and said seriously: "Okay, let's not talk about whether there is really someone else in Allen's heart. Annika, you have to remember that everyone has their own **, and some ** are something lovers, couples, and parents cannot tell them. And there is no need to worry about these. You just need to know a little. Even if there is someone else in Allen's heart, he will choose you in the end, put on the wedding ring and spend the rest of his life together. Confirm this, for us women, it is enough."

"Is this really the case?" Annika asked hesitantly.

"Of course!" answered with certainty, and then Betsy's lips raised a sarcastic arc, "Annika, you are also a nobleman. You should know the dirty things in this circle. Compared to those bastard men who still show mercy after marriage, and even openly raise love outside. They are just thinking about how decent and rare Alan is."

"Oh, I understand." It was just a naive intuition, but now when I heard Becky's reasonable and detailed analysis, Annie Kat felt the gloom in her heart. Her happy smile hung on her face again. "Thank you, Sister Becky. After hearing what you said, my Allen is really a rare good man, hehe..."

"My Allen..." Becky, who pretended to be angry, curled his lips, "It turns out that you are here to show your love today and stimulate me."

"Of course not, I'm really confused." Annika saw this and hugged Becky's arm with a flattering look, and her eyes turned, "By the way. Sister Becky, do you have someone you like?"

"Don't talk if you can't change the topic." Annika bounced her forehead in anger. Becky tidied up her clothes and said casually, "No." She stuck out her tongue. Annika didn't believe it and asked, "How could it be, so many people are chasing you."

This is the fact that Betsy is a noble lady, and a very beautiful noble lady. After taking over the family business, he added a bit of a unique temperament that most noble ladys do not have, and naturally became more popular.

But Becky was calm: "It's just so many sluts. Even if there are a few that are not, it's not just me who is interested in it."

Annika couldn't help but be silent when she heard this. After getting to know each other, she stayed with Becky for a long time and heard a lot. After seeing her, Annika really realized the slutty nature of those noble young men who claimed to be elegant. And the ambitious ordinary young men will not have such a simple purpose of pursuing Becky. After all, not all young people from ordinary backgrounds are Allen. Becky is now the only direct daughter of the Earl family. After marrying her, she will reach the sky in one step. Few people can resist this temptation...

Realizing that she had asked questions she shouldn't have asked, Annika turned her head awkwardly, patted the thick stack of books on the table, and clumsyly changed the topic: "Sister Betsy has a high vision, and, look, you work so hard, how can you have time to fall in love... Huh, what is this?"

After a pause, he was snatching a piece of white paper sandwiched inside while he was opening a book, and fell to the table. He subconsciously lowered his head, and it was a portrait painting, drawing a man with an ordinary face except for his eyes that were too narrow and long.

The brushwork is fine and the finest can be seen, and it is obviously a fine product after a long period of polishing.

"Ha, see what I found." After coming back to his senses, Annika quickly picked up the portrait, like a weasel entering a chicken coop. She looked at Becky with a look of a sudden dazed look, "Hidden deep enough, Sister Becky, she has put the other person's portrait in a must-read book every day...I can't grab it, hehe..."

Her arm was extremely tilted back, avoiding Betsy's palm that she caught, "Give it back to me, Annika, it's not what you think, this... I don't know where this portrait came from, I haven't seen this book yet." He spoke up and said, Betsy, who had been maintaining a mature and calm attitude, appeared panicked for the first time.

After flexibly retreating, Annika proudly raised the portrait, stroked the edge of the paper with her fingers: "Haha, you can't deceive me, Sister Becky. The paper edge is so soft, it is clearly the result of long-term viewing and touching. Let me be honest, who is he?"

Seeing that he could not fool Annika, who was usually dumb, Betsy quickly changed his strategy and pushed him down: "Okay, I admit that I do know him, but he is really not my lover."

"Who is he?" Annika clearly didn't believe it, but before Becky made up the reason, she was stunned when she looked at the portrait in her hand, and subconsciously whispered, "Hey, strange. Why do you feel familiar? It seems that you have seen it somewhere..."

"He is...what!" Becky's body suddenly shook violently when she heard this. He grabbed Annika's wrist and said excitedly, "Have you seen him? Really? Where? Tell me quickly!"

"Ah-Sister Becky, you hurt me." Annika exclaimed in dismay, subconsciously breaking free.

He instantly let go of his wrist and grabbed Annika's shoulder instead, "Sorry, I'm sorry... it was my sister who was wrong. Think about it, think about it, think about it, where have you seen him!"

"Uh..." Annika was frightened by Becky's expression of excitement. This was the first time she had seen her. Moreover, Becky's eyes seemed not to be the joy of suddenly finding out about the news about her lover, but... resentment? The unconcealed excitement and hatred... is it an illusion?

"I, I forgot, I just feel familiar..."

(ps: Some people say that the raccoon has forgotten the pit Becky, Humph, you are too naive, is it called in vain for the nickname of the Demon King?)
