An Feng walked over to the other suitcase and unzipped it, and the tall man took out the box of condoms from the suitcase she had opened just now.
Her pupils constricted.
Why was he putting the condoms on the bedside table in front of her?
Seeing An Feng staring at the thing in his hand, the man’s expression was indifferent and he asked coldly, “You’ve never seen it before?”
An Feng quickly retracted her gaze.
This person’s skin was truly as thick as an iron wall!
An outsider like her was in his room and he could even take out a thing like that without batting an eyelid!
How dismissive was he?
Opening the suitcase as quickly as she could, An Feng saw a beautiful jewelry box inside and took it out. Just as she was about to stand up, she saw that a black lace nightdress had fallen on the carpet beside the window where the bed was.
It was very sexy.
All the blood in An Feng’s body rushed to her head. Her face felt hot but her body felt cold as ice. Even with one glance, she already knew that the nightdress was Bernice’s.
The fingers gripping on the jewelry box tightened and her eyes filled with tears. There was somewhere in her chest that felt like ants had crawled past, making her feel extremely uncomfortable.
She did not like this feeling, but she could not control it. Her feelings were completely tied to him meeting her this time!
But it was too late to regret anything! He had Bernice and they had an intimate relationship!
She would not let herself be the despicable mistress who ruined the happiness of others.
Sniffling softly, An Feng forced the tears back into her eyes. After making sure that she did not look as anxious as she felt, An Feng composed herself and turned around. “I’ve got the gift. I’ll leave now.”
An Feng did not look at the man by the bedside table and walked towards the door with quick steps. The pain in her ankle seemed to be growing stronger.
But she could not stop.
Her fingers were about to pull open the door when a hand reached over from the top of her head.
With a bang, the door she had just pulled open a crack was suddenly pressed shut by that hand.
An Feng shivered in fear.
The man took the box from her hand and threw it onto the bed.
Before An Feng could react, her slender shoulders were clasped by the man’s dry and warm hands. He turned her around.
She had no choice but to look up and meet with his deep and sharp eyes.
His expression and gaze took her breath away. An Feng pursed her lips and asked, “Mr Helian, what are you doing?”
She tried to hold down the bitterness in her heart, afraid that he would see it.
Helian Xiao had one hand above her head and he looked down at her, exuding a strong aura from his body. He stared at her for a few seconds and not saying anything, he carried her and put her on the end of the bed.
An Feng wanted to move, but he ordered her coldly, “Don’t move!”
What? Why was he being so fierce? If anything, she was shocked by his imposing manner.
Helian Xiao took out the medical kit from his suitcase and his tall body crouched down in front of her and took off her shoes. Realizing what he was about to do, An Feng shrank back, moving her feet away. “Mr Helian, there’s no need. I’m fine…”
Before she could finish, her slender ankle was grabbed by his large hand. When his warm fingers touched her cold skin, it was like an electric current had passed through her, making her shiver slightly.
He examined the area she had sprained. It was not serious and was only slightly pulled. He applied some medicine for her and rubbed her ankle.
Her feet were small, slender and the soles of her feet fair, the veins could be seen vaguely. Her pink toenails were trimmed neatly and like her, it looked very delicate.
The man who was rubbing her ankle had no expression on his face.
But An Feng was embarrassed and uncomfortable.
She wanted to pull her foot back, but he held it tightly. His long eyelashes were slightly lowered, making his handsome face seem stable and focused, as if he were doing something very serious.
But wouldn’t Bernice be jealous with him being like this?
“Mr Helian, thank you for your kindness, but I don’t need you to do this for me.” An Feng pulled back her foot forcefully and this time, he did not hold her tightly.
He stood up and went to the bathroom to wash his hands.
An Feng was about to pick up the gift from the bed and leave, but the man’s action was faster than her.
Grabbing onto her wrist, he threw her onto the bed with no expression on his face.
As he stood by the bed, he leaned over and pinched her chin with his long fingers. There seemed to be some emotions surging in his dark eyes. “Do you have anything to say to me?”
Looking at the man with his sullen eyes, An Feng furrowed her eyebrows.
She did not understand why he would ask her that.
Did she have to accept him rubbing her ankles so intimately when he was with Bernice?
Perhaps to him, it was not intimate, but he looked after her because of Zhizhi. But she could not take it in her stride!
The room’s temperature was comfortable, but the coldness coming out from the man made An Feng shiver.
“Say something!” He narrowed his eyes, seeming to be more powerful.
His face came close to her and the sense of danger and coldness made her pupils shrink. “What do you want me to say?”
“Say that you want me to be with Bernice and want to see me getting married with her.”
An Feng’s breathing tightened.
She did not want to…
Why would he want her to say something like this?
She did not feel good seeing them together. It felt like her chest was being grabbed tightly by an invisible black hand, making her unable to breathe.
She had never really been in love and did not know what it was like to love someone.
All she knew was that she was starting to care and like this man.
But it was already too late. Since he was together with Bernice now, she would not step in. She had been alone all these years. Perhaps her feelings for him would fade if she was given time.
An Feng did not dare to meet his deep eyes for too long and she turned her face away, saying, “You two are a good match.”
Helian Xiao’s eyes turned dark, and the corners of his lips lifted into a mocking smile.
In the end, he let go of her and let her leave the villa without another word.
An Feng was shocked by the look he gave her. She did not know why he would show such a look, as if his heart had turned completely cold.
But she felt that she had said nothing wrong!
After he released her, An Feng left in a hurry. She only realized that she had left the gift on his bed when she was out of the villa.
But she had no courage to go back in.
Her clothes were soaked when she fell into the pool earlier and it was uncomfortable the way it was clinging to her skin. No matter what, she had to go back to take a bath and change her clothes.
…
Not long after An Feng left the villa, Bernice came back.
Pushing open the bedroom door, she saw the man who was smoking in front of the French windows. Walking over, she blew at the faint smoke that was lingering in the air and held his arm affectionately. “Darling, why did you let her leave? I thought you’d do her directly!”
