Chapter 574: No Wang Gong, So I Have to Gnaw on My Husband

Not coming back today either?

Not knowing that Leon was fighting to the death in a sea of alcohol with the terrifying red-haired bad woman for the safety of herself and her younger brother and sister, after waiting until the street lamps below the apartment lit up without seeing Leon's figure, Anna couldn't help but sigh faintly.

But just as she stood up from the window, preparing to put away the meals specially left on the table, a somewhat familiar sound of footsteps suddenly came from the stairwell.

This is... back?

Hearing the heavy footsteps with extremely high recognizability, which carried a sense of heaviness as if carrying something, the sick girl's expression couldn't help but be slightly happy. After wiping her wet palms on her apron, she ran quickly to prepare to open the door.

However, just as she got up, she found that although the footsteps were extremely similar to Leon's, both carrying a heaviness as if carrying something, the stride was clearly smaller.

So it's not brother...

Anna, who was somewhat disappointed, sighed, loosened her palm holding the doorknob, but those footsteps that were quite similar to Leon's walked straight toward her, and then, the door was knocked lightly by the visitor.

"Knock, knock knock"

At my house?

Hearing the somewhat abrupt knocking, Anna hesitated slightly, then carefully asked through the door:

"Who are you looking for?"

After hearing the voice from inside the door, the person outside paused, then answered warmly:

"I'm looking for Leon, Leon Laien."

Looking for brother? And listening to the voice... is it a woman?

Although the woman's voice was very nice and carried a kind of convincing calmness, Anna didn't know why, but she became vigilant instinctively, almost subconsciously blocking her:

"He's already asleep! And it's already very late, you come back tomorrow!"

"..."

Seeming to notice her defense, the woman outside the door pondered for a while, then leaned close to the gate and said softly:

"You are Anna, right? Leon told me about you."

"Also, although men's shoes were deliberately placed outside the door, the pair Leon wore today isn't placed here, so he hasn't come home yet, right? Don't worry, I'm not a bad person, I'm really here to find him."

"..."

Face to face... lying through the door was actually exposed on the spot, Anna's face couldn't help but turn slightly red, then she hurriedly twisted the doorknob, taking the initiative to apologize somewhat embarrassedly:

"Sorry... brother told me a few days ago to be careful recently, maybe bad people are targeting our house, so I..."

Looking at the beautiful woman who was somewhat exhausted but had a figure that was surprisingly good, Anna's words couldn't help but get stuck. While looking at the other party's plump front with shock, she instinctively measured the gap between herself and the other party.

Actually... actually can be so... this is unfair!

"It's okay, it's normal for you to be more defensive since I came to the door so late."

Seeing that she finally successfully tricked the door open, Veronika, who only had one silver wheel given by Leon and couldn't afford a hotel or return to the Wang Gong, couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

Then, in order to have a place to stay tonight, while recalling the information she had read, she tried hard to fool her with a friendly face:

"Nice to meet you, my name is Veronika. As for my identity... I am your brother's fiancée."

???

What did you say?

After listening to the Princess's self-introduction full of impact, the sick girl was like a little duck struck by lightning, the whole person was stunned.

This is impossible!

He clearly said he would be for a lifetime... in short, even if there is no blood relationship, I am his most important sister! He would definitely tell me first about marriage! It must be fake! This woman must be lying... uh...

Anna stood with her hands on her hips and eyes wide open, preparing to rely on a nameless anger to scold the woman not to lie, but couldn't help but glance at the other party's chest again. It seems... it's not completely impossible? After all, she is really...

"Anna?"

Waiting for a long time without hearing the other party's questioning, and the script prepared before coming couldn't be continued, Veronika could only use her brains to make it up on the spot, taking the initiative to say:

"I know, you might not be able to accept hearing this news suddenly, but I didn't lie to you, I really am your brother's fiancée."

"But... but he never told me, and he has always been very busy, where would he have time..."

"It was indeed a bit sudden."

Holding Anna's hand, which was sweating a bit, and acting like a real sister-in-law, affectionately pulling her into the house, the Princess said apologetically:

"Just this afternoon, at the main hall of the Laien Manor, he proposed to me in front of all the guests who came to attend the title succession ceremony."

"And I happened to get along very well with him. After thinking about it, I agreed directly. Because it happened too suddenly, I didn't have time to tell you... By the way, did Leon tell you where he was going today?"

"He did..."

Not discovering that the Princess had secretly blurred out the "dating time" and "why she didn't introduce her to the family," and directly linked the truth of this sister-in-law to whether Leon went to the Laien Manor today.

Recalling what Leon said, finding that he seemed to have really said he was going to the Laien Manor to attend some title succession ceremony, seeing that the "information" on both sides actually matched, due to the thinking inertia of "one true all true," Anna's last trace of suspicion was also completely pinched out, and she said with complex eyes:

"So you really are..."

"I really am your sister-in-law."

The nose tip stained with a little coal ash twitched, smelling a burst of tempting food fragrance, the Princess, who hadn't eaten or drunk since morning and was hungry, finally couldn't hold back.

After pulling Anna, who had a dazed look, to the dining table and sitting down, she opened the bowls and dishes covering the food very naturally, pushed one of the small plates to Anna, and asked with concern:

"I see your state is not right, is it because you ate too little at night, and you are not feeling well?"

"Ah..."

Anna,

"It seems... I didn't eat too much..."

"Then eat a little more, I'll keep you company."

Naturally taking a plate and setting it before herself, the Princess speared a piece of broccoli and placed it onto Anna's plate, then cut a large, steaming piece of fried fish fillet for herself, filling her mouth with impeccable etiquette.

Chewing the fish fillet with the fastest speed of her life, then swallowing it in one gulp, the Princess—having successfully scammed a meal—began to dig into the mashed potatoes with her spoon while speaking with a face full of concern:

"Eat up, look how thin you are. If Leon comes back and sees you haven't been taking good care of yourself, he'll definitely be very sad."

"Ah? Okay..."

Under the Princess's painstaking persuasion, she listlessly ate the two pieces of broccoli served as a side dish and the few small carrot slices used as soup ingredients.

Watching the three plates on the table being wiped clean by her "sister-in-law," Anna finally discovered that something seemed wrong, and looked with suspicion at the beautiful woman opposite her who was wiping her mouth in satisfaction.

This sister-in-law... why does she seem like she's here to scam a meal?
