Chapter 1034: An Feng and Helian Xiao’s Ending (1)
Nan Zhi stared at the gentleness and happiness An Feng was exuding unconsciously, her lips curling up into a faint smile. “Mom, you’re biased towards him already!”
An Feng glared at Nan Zhi with heated ears. “You! I only want the family to get along well. Besides, with your father believing me and standing by my side without any hesitation to deal with his ‘first love’, I think that he’s a good man that is understanding and reasonable too.”
Nan Zhi nodded.
On this matter, Helian Xiao did do very well.
After all, not every man would be able to believe a woman they had only just chose to be with, and suspect the first love that they had once adored.
As if thinking of something, An Feng sighed softly. “I didn’t expect that your Dad’s real first love would be gone. He must feel sad too!”
Before Nan Zhi could speak up, a man’s low and magnetic voice rang from the door suddenly. “What are you two talking about?”
Staring at Helian Xiao who had just returned, An Feng wiggled her eyes at Nan Zhi. “Zhizhi, go quick!”
Nan Zhi’s scalp was starting to numb.
After all, she was not a child anymore. To be honest, it was slightly hard for her to call Helian Xiao ‘Dad’ instead.
It was not that she didn’t acknowledge him as her father, but that she felt slightly embarrassed about it. Nan Zhi bit her lip, walking in front of Helian Xiao and stared at him with bright eyes.
Helian Xiao seemed to have understood what she was going to do, his eyes on her darkening slightly. His well-defined features were tense as he showed an expression of nervousness and anticipation.
Nan Zhi naturally didn’t miss Helian Xiao’s expression, the ‘Dad’ she almost called out changing into, “You and Mom should talk, I’ll go down to talk to Grandma first.”
Nan Zhi walked past Helian Xiao.
Helian Xiao clenched his fists, then relaxed. He turned around, staring at Nan Zhi as he said hoarsely, “Zhizhi, it’s alright. There’s no pressure.”
Nan Zhi hummed as she continued walking forward.
She took a few steps, before she stopped and turned around to glance towards the room. All she saw was Helian Xiao standing there, looking at her quietly as his eyes were filled with the affection and guilt belonging to a father towards his daughter. It was vastly different from the Big Boss look he had in the corporation usually.
In this moment, he was only a father who was looking at and desired the acceptance of his daughter.
When Nan Zhi didn’t know about her true identity in the past, she had never seen such an expression from Nan Weiye. In the past, she used to question why her father didn’t like her, question why he needed to do those things to hurt her.
“Dad.”
Nan Zhi’s eyes were slightly red, as she mustered all of her energy and strength to call out shakily.
Helian Xiao froze after hearing the word. Suddenly, he became a child that had gotten his candy, raising his hands up to hit his head. He turned back to look at An Feng, who was still in the room, tearing up. “Zhizhi called me just now?”
An Feng felt herself tear up as well when she noted the tears swarming in Helian Xiao’s eyes. “You didn’t hear wrongly, Zhizhi did call you.”
Helian Xiao hit his head once more.
An Feng glanced at the man who was still standing there, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. “Aren’t you going to hug Zhizhi?”
“Yes.”
Helian Xiao strode out, rushing in front of Nan Zhi. Before Nan Zhi could react, his long arms reached out and hugged her tightly.
Helian Xiao thought that he wouldn’t be able to hear Nan Zhi call him ‘Dad’ so quickly. Although he said it was alright, that he could wait, he still wanted to hear his daughter call him ‘Dad’. In this moment, he was agitated and happy.
“Zhizhi, can you call me once more?”
Helian Xiao was hugging Nan Zhi tightly. He was rather strong, so strong that she could barely breathe, not to mention speak.
When An Feng walked out of the room and saw this scene, she hurriedly said, “Helian, you’re hugging Zhizhi too tightly. She can’t breathe!”
Noting this point, Helian Xiao hurriedly let go of Nan Zhi.
Nan Zhi coughed a few times. When she caught her breath, she glanced at Helian Xiao and laughed. “Dad, how about you have another child with Mom? It should be rather fun to get a child late in your life!’
An Feng walked in front of Nan Zhi, punching her arm twice playfully. “What nonsense are you saying?”
Nan Zhi’s smile widened. “Alright, I won’t be your lightbulb anymore. I’m going down to accompany Grandma.”
…
After Nan Zhi left, An Feng patted her scorching hot cheeks before she turned back to look at the man behind her. “Zhizhi is saying nonsense, don’t listen to her.”
Helian Xiao stared at An Feng with a heated gaze. He suddenly took a step forward, his arm reaching up to carry her up princess-styled.
An Feng gasped in surprise. In order to not fall, her arms wrapped around his neck instinctively.
Helian Xiao placed An Feng on the big master bedroom bed, placing his hands on both of her sides to stare at her.
As they were so close to each other, she could smell the faint red wine and mint scent on him. The heat that went away returned to her ears once more.
“Why are you looking at me like that?” His eyes were so dark and deep they looked like wormholes that wanted to suck her in.
Helian Xiao closed his eyes, before he opened them once more and said hoarsely, “Nan Weiye said that he never touched you in the years you were married?”
An Feng froze, recalling his reaction when he heard what Nan Weiye said in the banquet hall. Her lashes fluttered slightly. “Do you mind if I was touched by another man?”
“No.” His voice was extremely hoarse, his slender fingers caressing her pretty face. “I’m not like Nan Weiye. However, to be honest, I don’t really dare to believe that I’m your only man. I’m happy and agitated.”
An Feng stared into his depthless eyes, her heart fluttering like crazy. “What Nan Weiye said was true. In the years we’ve been married, we never slept together and after our divorce, I was single until I met you.”
The moment she finished speaking, Helian Xiao had kissed her soft lips ruthlessly.
He only released her when she was almost out of breath.
Getting up from her, he did not say anything as he left the room immediately.
An Feng was confused by his actions.
Why did he leave without saying anything after kissing her?
She waited for a while, but seeing that he had yet to return, An Feng got up to take a shower and changed into a casual outfit.
After some time, the servants knocked on the door to call her down for supper.
Nan Zhi and the Old Madam were seated at the dining table already. When they saw only An Feng coming down, Nan Zhi asked, “Mom, where’s Dad?”
An Feng furrowed her eyebrows. “You didn’t see him come down?”
“No, I was watching television in Grandma’s room and didn’t pay attention to anything else. Wasn’t Dad upstairs with you?”
An Feng pursed her lips. “He left without saying anything. I don’t know where he went, he didn’t even bring his phone.”
