“And not to mention Helian Xiao. The King and I have always wanted to rope him in, but he had never made any comment.” The Queen’s expression darkened and she said unhappily, “Helian Zhu did that to the King and even wronged him, with Helian Xiao’s personality, he will definitely feel guilty towards the King and might even stand on the King’s side in the future!”
Duke De An gradually understood and he hit his head hard. “Damn, he’s smarter than I thought. This time, not only can he eradicate those relatives who were disloyal to him, he could also make people stop mentioning the marriage between him and Helian Zhu and make Helian Xiao stand on his side. This is killing three birds with one stone!”
The Queen sighed again. “I used to think he was the most unremarkable among the princes, but now it seems like he is really favored by heavens.”
…
After Helian Zhu ended the video call, she leaned against the steering wheel. She was still in the parking lot of the town’s cafe.
Cold. She was cold all over and her blood seemed to have frozen. She thought she had set Mu Sihan up, but she had never expected he had in turn set her up.
She could do everything in business, but in relationships, she was really like what Feng Yao had said, she had low EQ. She had only just attacked but was defeated and dealt a deadly blow immediately.
Her phone rang and Helian Zhu’s pupils constricted when she saw the caller ID.
Father… It was Father.
She dared not answer. But she had no choice.
After Helian Xiao ended the video call, he received Feng Yao’s call. Feng Yao said that Nan Zhi also knew about this matter and was affected by it, and had not returned after going out.
After the call got through, Helian Xiao asked coldly, “Where are you now?”
After all, Helian Xiao had been raising her for many years and knew her nature very well. If he was right, she should have gone to find Nan Zhi.
Helian Zhu did not dare to lie and told Helian Xiao about her being in town.
Furious, Helian Xiao berated her with no mercy. Helian Zhu had never seen her father so angry.
“How did I teach you from when you were young? Is this your good upbringing, stealing another woman’s man, and even going to provoke her?”
Hearing Helian Xiao’s accusatory question, Helian Zhu’s eyes filled with tears and she said with a choked voice, “Sihan did not marry her so he’s not counted as her man. And besides, she’s just a normal woman now, what right does she have to be worthy of the King who is high up in the air?”
“The fact that she had three children with him.”
“I can give birth to his children too, after getting together with him.”
Helian Xiao did not expect that Helian Zhu would still refuse to realize her error and he laughed mockingly. “Will he give you a chance? If he liked you even the slightest, he wouldn’t treat you like that at the meeting. You’ve humiliated the Helian family by acting in such a pathetic way!”
Before Helian Zhu could say anything, she heard Helian Xiao say coldly, “Wait for me there. When I come, I’ll take you to apologize to Nan Zhi!”
What?!
It was enough that she had apologized to Mu Sihan in front of the relatives. Now she still had to apologize to Nan Zhi?
What for?
“No! I don’t want to!”
“Helian Zhu, you listen to me. If you don’t go, don’t call me father anymore.”
A pain struck Helian Zhu’s heart and her body trembled. If she was Helian Xiao’s biological daughter, would he still say such a thing?
And Nan Zhi, he had just seen her once but had such a good impression of her. Did he have some unspeakable thoughts towards Nan Zhi?
The more Helian Zhu thought about it, the angrier she got. But, she did not dare not to disobey her father’s words.
…
Two hours later, Helian Xiao got off the private plane.
His eyebrows were tightly knitted together, his gaze dark and there was a cold and reserved aura exuding from him. Not daring to meet his eyes, Helian Zhu lowered her head, greeting him softly, “Daddy.”
Helian Xiao ignored Helian Zhu and walked towards the car.
Helian Zhu followed behind him. “Daddy, I know I’m wrong. I’ve already apologized to Ye Sihan. Can I please not apologize to Nanー”
Before she could finish, Helian Xiao interrupted her. “No.”
Helian Zhu clenched her hands into fists and looked at the side of Helian Xiao’s face. She wanted to say something, but in the end, still sat in the car and went to Nan Zhi’s private kitchen with him.
…
When Helian Xiao’s car was a distance from the private restaurant, he saw An Feng. She was holding Tiantian and Yuyu and the two little fellows were carrying bags. They should have just come back from school and grandmother and two grandchildren were walking back.
An Feng was wearing a striped dress with her hair spread over her shoulders. Her arms were slender and fair and looking from behind, her figure was slender and it was difficult to tell her real age.
Helian Xiao instructed the chauffeur to stop the car by An Feng.
An Feng saw a luxurious car driving over and thought it was Mu Sihan. The window was lowered and seeing the man inside, she was surprised.
She did not expect it to be Helian Xiao.
Helian Xiao pushed open the door and got out.
When the two little fellows saw him, they greeted him affectionately, “Grandpa, Grandpa!”
Helian Xiao picked up Tiantian and Yuyu. When An Feng saw this, she asked the two children to come down hurriedly.
“Grandma, Grandpa hasn’t come here for a long time. He definitely wants to hug me and Brother,” Princess Tiantian grinned and said cheekily.
An Feng looked at Helian Xiao with a frown. He was standing very close to her and when the wind blew, she smelled a rich and charming perfume. Helian Xiao did not wear his usual suit and leather shoes as he came here in a hurry, he only wore a white shirt with the first two buttons unbuttoned, showing his exquisite collarbones. It was casual but did not lose the taste of a mature man.
The smell of perfume should be from the woman in the car.
An Feng did not see Helian Zhu’s face clearly, she could only see the side of her face.
“Mr Helian, please put down Tiantian and Yuyu. Zhizhi will worry if she waits too long.”
Instead of putting them down, Helian Xiao carried the two children into the car and An Feng frowned. “What are you..”
“Get in, I’m also going to your place.”
An Feng was speechless.
Helian Xiao smiled when he saw An Feng not moving and looking at him with open hostility, whilst looking graceful and elegant. “Is Madam An still bothered by that kiss the other time?”
An Feng looked at the man who did not seem to have any fluctuation of emotions when mentioning the kiss and was slightly angry. She lowered her voice. “Mr Helian looks like a gentleman, but I did not expect you to be a beast in man’s clothing.”
Helian Xiao looked at An Feng’s red face and smirked. “Madam An, at this age, you should know that a beast will not simply just kiss.” With that, he narrowed his eyes and looked at her body.
Seeing his gaze filled with the spark of electrical currents, it made An Feng feel uncomfortable and her scalp tingled. She turned her face away.
“Please respect yourself, Mr Helian!”
Helian Xiao looked at her red ears and was amused. “Why are you like a young girl? We’re just talking, so why are you blushing?”
An Feng was speechless.
