  As An Feng stood in front of the villa door, at that moment, she was too nervous to ring the doorbell. Holding her hands together tightly, she circled in front of the door.

  After a while, the door was suddenly opened.

  Bernice appeared in the doorway wearing conservative casual wear. But because her figure was good, she was voluminous and alluring in whatever she wore. Seeing that it was An Feng outside, Bernice was delighted.

  “You’re here, Sister An? Ah, ah, ah, you’ve think it through, haven’t you!” Bernice danced around with excitement. “Old Xiao just chased me out! He felt that I provoked you by dressing like that to look for you. He even said you’d rather die than come here.”


  An Feng was a little embarrassed.

  To be honest, without Bernice’s…… encouragement, perhaps she still could not see her feelings clearly. It was because of Bernice that she finally understood that there was no need for regrets in this world.

  “You’ll be my sister-in-law in the future. Go up quickly, Old Xiao may become ill if he can’t come around.” Bernice patted her chest. “It’s not easy for Old Xiao, there’s finally somebody to punish him!”


  An Feng smiled embarrassingly.

  “I’m going to the bar to have some fun. Don’t wait up for me tonight!” Bernice threw a wink at An Feng.

  After Bernice left, An Feng went up to the second floor, feeling nervous.

  The bedroom door was shut tightly.

  Taking a deep breath, An Feng raised her hand and knocked. Her heart was beating like a drum. She had never been so nervous before.

  Knock, knock.

  There was no response.

  After knocking a few times, there was still no answer from inside. An Feng mustered up her courage and knocked again.

  Suddenly, the door was opened from the inside.

  It was obvious that Helian Xiao had just taken a bath. He was wearing a night robe tied casually around him, revealing his muscular torso. In his hands was a large towel, it was clear he was about to use it to wipe his wet hair.

  When he saw that it was An Feng standing there his eyes narrowed slightly. His gaze was deep, making it difficult to see what he was feeling.

  Faced with his gaze, An Feng became more nervous.

  When he wanted to be with her, she had rejected him without any hesitation. Now that she had thought it through, would he still want to be with her? Successful people like him always gave orders. How would he be led by the nose by anyone?

  An Feng’s mind was in chaos and she had never been so tense in many years.

  As the thoughts continued to run wild in her mind, she pursed her lips, saying with a slightly trembling voice, “Mr Helian, I……”


  Helian Xiao saw An Feng’s uneasy look and he narrowed his eyes. “You’re here to get the gift?”


  Before An Feng could say anything, he had already turned and was walking towards the big bed. Taking the gift she had left behind, he went to the door and handed it to her.

  Faced with his coldness, An Feng was shy and she didn’t know what to say at all. Taking the gift, she mumbled, “Thank you.”


  Helian Xiao hummed in acknowledgement. “Close the door for me when you go out.”


  Then, he closed the bedroom door.

  An Feng was slightly dazed.

  She put the gift by the door and after a few seconds, she summoned up her courage and knocked on the door again.

  This time, the man opened the door very quickly and he looked at her with an unreadable expression. “Is there anything else?”


  An Feng had one hand on the door, afraid that he would shut her out again. She lowered her eyes, saying out in one breath, “Bernice went to find me just now.”


  He hummed again, showing that he knew.

  “She is your sister.”


  Helian Xiao was silent for a few seconds, his eyebrows slightly raised. “What about it?”


  An Feng was unsettled by his unaffected behavior, her heart seemed to be in her mouth. She rubbed her hands together. “Did you intentionally make me misunderstand to provoke me?”


  Her skin was fair and when she was embarrassed, her face and ears flushed an obvious red. And that redness seemed to be seeping out from inside, which was very attractive.

  Seeing her like this, Helian Xiao’s Adam’s apple bobbed and the eyes looking at her turned dark. “You don’t even care, so why would you misunderstand and be provoked?”


  Tears filled An Feng’s eyes and her vision was slightly blurred. “I…… I……”


  She did not notice that the man had clenched one of his hands into a fist. His deep eyes were staring at her fixedly, not wanting to miss any of the expressions on her face.

  An Feng closed her eyes, saying with her heart beating fast, “I do care.”


  She was a shy person so when she said those words, it seemed to be her limit.

  And he was mature and wise, he should be able to understand clearly what her words meant.

  But he did not say anything after she said the words ‘I do care’.

  An Feng felt tormented like she was in heaven and hell at the same time. Her mind was in a mess, and she was even thinking if she had come too late.

  Was it too late?

  Unable to endure this silence and suffering, An Feng mustered up all her courage and continued, “I’ve never loved anyone and don’t know what is this thing called love. But all I know is that I felt terrible and cared about it when I saw you and Bernice together.

  “I don’t want to miss this chance anymore, but I don’t want to cause you any trouble. If you think that it’s too late for me to realize my feelings, just treat it like I haven’t been here……”


  An Feng waited for a few seconds and seeing that he was still silent, her heart sank.

  A bitter feeling surged up from her limbs and up to her nose, making her feel so upset she wanted to cry.

  When she was young, she wanted to confess to her senior during the masquerade, but she did not get to do it and was raped by Helian Xiao instead. Now, when she was no longer young, she had finally summoned up all of her courage to confess to this man who had hurt her before, but he said nothing.

  This silence was really hurtful!

  “I’m sorry to disturb you.” Not able to stand another second here, An Feng did not want to be a pitiful person with no self-esteem. She turned and wanted to leave quickly.

  But the next second, her arm was held tightly.

  Then she was thrown against the room’s wall by the man.

  One of the man’s long legs was across the door, blocking her way.

  Helian Xiao looked at her with a frown. “If I said that you missed the chance, are you going to give up?”


  An Feng bit her lip, saying nothing.

  Was she going to pester him if she did not want to give up?

  That was not something she could do at her age!

  Helian Xiao took a step closer to An Feng and his handsome and masculine face approached her. His long fingers threaded through her hair and grabbed the back of her head, pulling her face towards his.

  That familiar and heart-fluttering scent entered her nose, full of masculinity. An Feng’s body stiffened and she held her breath.

  “If I listened to you last time and we became complete strangers, would you still have the chance to see your feelings clearly?” Helian Xiao looked at An Feng’s lowered eyelashes and he came close to her, their noses almost touching. “If you’ve realized your feelings clearly, kiss me now.”


  Disbelief showed in her face as she looked at the man with wide eyes.

  “Why, you don’t dare or are you still not clear of your feelings?”


  An Feng looked at his lips, then she swallowed hard, before closed her eyes and approached him with her face red.
