Chapter 988: Ambiguity

Originally, Nan Zhi had suspected Helian Zhu of foul play. She had thought that Helian Zhu did this because she was bitter.

But on second thought, Helian Zhu would not be so crazy for the sake of love!

After Nan Zhi and the two children had fallen asleep, An Feng was still wide awake. She lay on the bed, staring at the dark sky outside.

A crescent moon hung high in the sky, emitting a cool light. She held her face in her hands, her eyebrows furrowed.

Although the police found that the kitchen fire was caused by aging kitchen circuits, she kept feeling that things were not so simple…

She and Zhizhi had lived there for more than four years and nothing had happened. Why was it only tonight?

And it happened after she had gotten that cup? Could things really be so coincidental?

The more An Feng thought about it, the more she found it more suspicious.

Did someone know something and destroy the cup she had kept, so she would not be able to do the DNA test? If it was like that, she must get a new sample and get to the bottom of this!

But, no one knew about that incident other than her best friend who had attended the masquerade. Later, after she returned to the country, she heard that her best friend had died in a car accident.

An Feng could feel a sense of uneasiness and a cold chill envelope her. She felt that this matter was not so simple.

But these were all just her suspicions. She did not know who to talk to before she confirmed this. After all, what happened that year was a trauma in her heart. She only wanted to forget about it and never mention it again.

…

The next day.

An Feng woke up early. After washing up, she went downstairs to walk around. Having not slept well last night, her mind was still a little muddled.

In the afternoon, Sihan would be picking them up. There should be no one setting fire under Sihan’s eyes after they returned to the Capital!

She wanted to get a strand of Helian Xiao’s hair before leaving. Otherwise, they might not have the chance to meet again.

Helian Xiao’s room was diagonally opposite An Feng and Nan Zhi’s rooms. An Feng returned to the hotel and as soon as she got out of the elevator, she saw Helian Xiao, Feng Yao and Helian Zhu.

“Auntie Feng, I thought you and Zhizhi were still asleep. My dad has an important meeting this morning so he and Helian Zhu are leaving.”

An Feng nodded and said curtly, “Goodbye.”

Seeing that they had entered the elevator, An Feng walked towards Helian Xiao’s room. There was an attendant inside checking the items inside and An Feng knocked then entered.

The attendant looked at An Feng. “Excuse me, you are…”

An Feng said gently, “I’m with the gentleman who stayed here last night. He forgot something and I came to help him find it.”

When the attendant heard that there was something left behind, she stepped aside. Those who stayed in the presidential suite were usually not ordinary guests. If the item they left behind really went missing, it would be troublesome if they blame it on them attendants.

“Then please go ahead. I’ll clean the other rooms first.”

After the attendant left, An Feng hurried into the bedroom. She lifted the blanket and carefully checked the bed.

The pillow and head of the bed where that person had slept were clean, there were no strands of hair at all.

An Feng then entered the bedroom again.

Still, she found nothing.

She circled around the bedroom again and suddenly found a light colored night robe hanging in the wardrobe.

She went over and looked carefully. At the collar, she found two strands of hair.

An Feng was delighted.

She took out a small transparent bag and carefully put the strands of hair inside.

An Feng glanced at the night robe. This must be brought by Helian Xiao himself. Did he forget to take it back?

Just when she was in doubt, a low and mellow voice suddenly sounded. “What are you doing?”

Shocked, An Feng turned and saw the tall figure standing by the bedroom door.

Quietly, she put the small bag in her pocket. An Feng lowered her eyes and said calmly, “The attendant said that you left something in the room. She thought that I knew you and let me come in and have a look.”

Her eyes were lowered and she dared not look at Helian Xiao’s eyes. Though Helian Xiao pursed his lips tightly, he said nothing.

Swallowing thickly, An Feng kept her eyes lowered and could still feel his eyes on her.

It was hot and stuffy in the room.

“Since you’re to take it yourself, I won’t stay here any longer.” An Feng wanted to pass by him.

But he blocked the bedroom door with no intention of moving aside.

An Feng glanced at him. His expression was dark and she could not see what he was thinking. Running into another person’s room and no matter how she deny it, An Feng was still a bit guilty.

Seeing that he was not moving, An Feng could only turned her body sideways.

Halfway through, Helian Xiao suddenly turned his body. An Feng had her back to him and when he came towards her, her buttocks accidentally bumped on the buckle of his belt. When she bent her elbows on reflex, she knocked into the man’s chest and she turned her head instinctively and accidentally bumped her forehead on the man’s hard jaw.

It hurt a little and was slightly prickly.

Helian Xiao looked down and saw that An Feng’s skirt was caught on his belt buckle, revealing a fair and slender leg.

Noticing that something was wrong, An Feng quickly pulled the caught skirt off the buckle of his belt.

“Sorry…” She went out in a hurry.

But she had just stepped forward when her wrist was grabbed by his large and powerful hand.

He pulled her into the bedroom, threw her onto the bed hard and raised his long leg to kick the bedroom door closed.

An Feng was still in shock.

Helian Xiao went to the side of the bed, his dark eyes slightly narrowed, and looked at An Feng with an unreadable expression.

“You said you wanted to draw the line with me yet you came to my room, secretly touching my night robe. Madam An, are you still saying that you’re not playing hard to get?”

What could she say to explain herself? An Feng felt that she was unable to clear her name.

She sat up and opened her mouth, wanting to say something when Helian Xiao suddenly bend his tall body, pressing against her.

An Feng looked at her with her pupils constricting, the words he told her last night ‘I want to have sex with you’ appeared in her mind.

Looking at his handsome face that was so close to her, An Feng held her breath. When his lips were about to touch her, her heart was beating so fast it almost jumped out. She wanted to push him away, but her wrists were grabbed by him tightly.

His palms were hot like they were on fire. He pressed her wrists on the bed, leaned over and came close to her.

When she was distracted, her lips were already pried open by him.

A taste that did not belong to her invaded her mouth. An Feng’s eyelashes fluttered and her thoughts were pulled back. The man leaning against her was pressing himself against her and she could feel the firm muscles under his clothes and the hot temperature that burned through their clothing.

The man pinched her face and intensified his kiss.

An Feng’s mind was in a state of confusion and after breaking away from his hands, she placed them on his broad and strong shoulders.

But the more she struggled, the deeper he kissed.

Their saliva blended together, as if pulling out her soul from her body. An Feng could not push him so she suddenly held his head.

Just when he thought she was going to respond to him, there was a pain in his scalp.
