Helian Xiao walked into the ICU.
An Feng was laying on the bed quietly, her face pale with no life at all. She looked like a new-born, weak and helpless.
Across her face was an oxygen mask, her lips pursed tightly and there was no sign of her waking up at all.
As Helian Xiao stood next to the bed, he looked down at her hand that was exposed. She was on the slimmer side, her skin fair and smooth, so her veins are rather obvious.
Her lifeless appearance now was like a flower that had lost its soul after falling down from its tree.
Helian Xiao stared at her pretty and gentle face for a while, his chest heaving a little as an extremely complicated emotion appeared in his eyes.
It took him a long while before he managed to choke out, “An Feng, I didn’t think that the woman back then was you.” Even if she had yet to wake up, a weak helplessness still dissolved all of his muscles, not daring to look at her face straight on.
He swallowed hard, his voice low and hoarse. “I already know why you went into my room that morning and touched my gown! Zhizhi is our daughter, isn’t she?”
Even until now, he still felt that it was very unrealistic. How was this even possible?
He actually had a daughter!
He was really Tiantian and Yuyu’s grandpa!
The woman he was interested in was actually that woman he felt guilty towards back then! Everything was too coincidental and way too lucky for him.
Helian Xiao hit the back of his head hard, feeling a sharp pain before he dared to believe once more that this wasn’t a dream, but a reality!
“An Feng, if you still don’t wake up, I’m going to acknowledge our daughter and find a stepmother for her. You wouldn’t want to see something like that, so wake up quickly!”
Nan Zhi had went to the washroom to wash her face. Once she was back outside the ICU, she wanted to go take a look at An Feng as well. She didn’t expect to hear Helian Xiao say those things the moment she did.
Her pretty expression immediately darkened. “Mr Helian, how can you say those things to my Mom?”
Helian Xiao glanced at Nan Zhi, wanting to say something when he suddenly saw An Feng’s index finger moving from the corner of his eye.
“Zhizhi, come and see quick!”
Nan Zhi walked towards the bed, looking at where Helian Xiao was looking at as well. When she saw An Feng’s fingers moving, her eyes widened immediately.
A few seconds later, Nan Zhi finally regained her senses and she grabbed Helian Xiao’s arm in agitation. “Mom really moved! Mom really moved!” It was not a hallucination made by the head of the hospital!
Helian Xiao stared into Nan Zhi’s red eyes, nodding. “Yes, your Mom is waking up.”
Seeing that she was still grabbing onto Helian Xiao’s arm, Nan Zhi froze for a second before she let go of him hurriedly. She walked past him and pressed the button to call for the doctor.
When the doctor heard the bell, he rushed over. Nan Zhi told the doctor about An Feng’s finger moving just now.
The doctor gave An Feng a checkup and nodded. “The patient is showing signs of waking up.”
Nan Zhi’s heightened heart finally felt a hint of relief. She couldn’t wait to go out to tell Mu Sihan.
Mu Sihan was taking a call at the end of the corridor. When Nan Zhi walked over, she happened to hear him saying coldly, “I haven’t even gone to look for her, yet she’s the one losing her calm and spouting nonsense? If that’s the case, I’ll bring Nan Zhi over right now.”
Once he hung up, Mu Sihan turned around. When he saw that Nan Zhi was standing behind him, he walked forward and grabbed her slender hand. “Ye Sihan called and said that Madam Ye created a ruckus at the Queen using your mother and Ah Hua’s incident. Using this incident, the Queen and Duke De An called for a Royal family meeting.”
After knowing that An Feng’s incident was related to Madam Ye, both Nan Zhi and Mu Sihan had guessed that Madam Ye would do more vindictive things in the background to stir the pot.
“Zhizhi, I know that you’re very surprised and shocked that you’ve suddenly become Helian Xiao’s daughter, and that you haven’t prepared yourself to acknowledge him as your father. But this thing is not a bad thing for both of us.” Mu Sihan held onto Nan Zhi’s hand tightly. “You’re the real Helian family Young Lady, so what can those people say anymore?”
Nan Zhi looked into Mu Sihan’s dark and deep eyes. “Do you want me to go to the meeting with you right now?”
Mu Sihan nodded. “Not only you, Mr Helian needs to go as well.”
……
Mu Sihan called the Head of the Royal Hospital over, instructing him to extract Helian Xiao and Nan Zhi’s blood to make a new DNA testing report at the fastest speed possible.
When Nan Zhi and Helian Xiao both got the results tested by the Head of the Royal Hospital and saw that their relationship was 99.99% of a father and daughter, their emotions surged within them once more.
It wasn’t a dream.
It was real……
In the large meeting room.
Madam Ye’s heart was beating uneasily. She couldn’t contact Helian Zhu anymore, so she wasn’t sure if Helian Xiao had found out about Nan Zhi’s identity.
Also, after her secret guard went to assassinate An Feng, she had never returned and Madam Ye couldn’t contact her either.
An ominous feeling grew in her heart.
Right now, she could only bet that the Queen would instigate the rest of the family and work together to abdicate Mu Sihan’s position as King.
Once Mu Sihan was defeated, the Queen might even let Ye Sihan out and help him take over as King.
However, Madam Ye understood that Mu Sihan had some base of support in the Royal family already. Pulling him down was not an easy task! If she couldn’t pull him down, she would make the Queen choose another marriage decision for him and she would be able to recommend the daughter-in-law she wanted.
“Your Majesty, Duke De An and the rest of the family, the impact of An Feng’s incident is growing continuously online and has already enraged the people. In the meantime, our King has no plans of putting a distance between Nan Zhi and her mother!
“Nan Zhi has yet to marry into the Royal family, but her mother is already so arrogant and created fear in the people’s hearts. The reputation of the Royal family is ruined. If Nan Zhi were to marry into the family, I don’t know how many more scandals she would bring to the Royal family! So we all have to be firm and stop letting Nan Zhi bewitch our King!
“If the King wouldn’t want to listen to us, then we can only abdicate his position and choose a new King!”
The moment Madam Ye finished speaking, the heavy doors of the meeting room was pushed open suddenly.
A tall figure wearing a tailored black suit entered. When everyone saw that it was Mu Sihan at the door, they all became silent.
When Madam Ye met Mu Sihan’s eyes, she turned her gaze away hurriedly.
Mu Sihan entered the meeting room, a hand in his pocket while his other hand was pulling a woman after him. Nan Zhi, who entered the meeting room as well, was dressed in black too, her expression calm and pretty.
The people in the meeting room all had strange expressions when they saw Mu Sihan entering the room with Nan Zhi.
“Your Majesty, the meeting room is a serious place. How can you bring in a woman who is not the Princess Consort?”
“Your Majesty, we have all seen the news online recently. Miss Nan’s mother’s scandal had created a bad situation for you. I think we have to discuss once more about the relationship between Miss Nan And Your Highness!”
“If you still want to be with Miss Nan forcefully, it will only bring anger and unhappiness to the Royal family.”
Mu Sihan smirked coldly, pulling Nan Zhi onto the main seat. He got Nan Zhi to sit next to him as he glanced at the people in the meeting room with a cold expression. “I’m here to announce two things today. The first is my marriage with Nan Zhi. The second is the cutting of ties between Madam Ye and I.
