Chapter 892 - Ambiguous (1/2)

An Feng turned around slightly before her eyes met Helian Xiao’s dark ones.

Seeming to be caught out, An Feng coughed so much her face flushed a little. But she acted calm and turned her eyes away, slightly out of breath as she said, “Thank you, I’m fine.”

“Grandma, have a nice chat with Grandpa. I’m going to go play with Uncle Feng Yao!”

Before An Feng could say anything, Little Tiantian ran away hurriedly.

It suddenly became somewhat awkward.

“That was just a child’s words, please don’t take it to heart.” An Feng brought the cup towards the kitchen.

The man behind her moved as well.

He seemed to be walking in front casually, his steps small and not wide, but they gave An Feng an invisible pressure, so she unconsciously walked faster.

It was until her body was pressed against the counter that she regained her senses. She was indeed acting a little strange in front of him.

It was as if she was very afraid of him.

Actually, when spending time with the opposite gender, it was more often than not that women were on the losing end.

Although An Feng hadn’t had a proper romantic relations.h.i.+p, having registered her marriage with Nan Weiye hurriedly back then, she knew how bad men could be. Some men liked to see women become a mess of themselves in front of them in order to prove their own charm.

A dim yellow light was turned on in the kitchen. An Feng was a little pet.i.te, while Helian Xiao was tall and broad. When they stood together, there was a hint of ambiguity between them.

An Feng still felt a small degree of discomfort in her throat from choking on her water earlier. She turned around to meet the men’s tall and crease-free pants, before she looked up to meet the man’s eyes that seemed to be eyeing her calmly.

Helian Xiao had met many people. Together with his intelligence and maturity, An Feng’s strong guard against him was akin to meeting a strong enemy she wasn’t able to hide from.

Usually, when women met him, they would think and do anything to stick to him. Women like An Feng, who did their best to hide from him, were very rare.

Helian Xiao remembered the time at the hotel’s washroom entrance. Back then, she had smiled at him gently in front of her ex-husband. She was pretty and elegant-looking, her smile looking extremely clean and gentle instead of being seductive.

It made people sink and crave for her smile unconsciously.

It was hard to imagine that a smile like that would appear on a divorced woman.

However, once he had gotten her ex-husband away, her att.i.tude had changed a little. When they met again, she started to hide away from him. Even Little Tiantian could tell that she didn’t like him. What had changed? Women’s thoughts were always hard to read, even for a person who was well-versed with business tactics. Helian Xiao could not understand her actions at all, so he could only point them another way.

She was playing hard to get with him!

Noting that Helian Xiao was staring at her, after An Feng calmed the discomfort at her throat away, she said, “Mr Helian, is there anything else?”

Today, An Feng was wearing a light-colored cheongsam. For a woman who was in her forties, she had taken care of her figure very well. Her figure was curvy, the light colored fabric on her making her skin look even more fair. The dress had been embroidered with a blooming peony. The elegant and cla.s.sic cheongsam, paired together with her quiet and gentle appearance, made her look as gentle as a Jiangnan woman, her actions exuding the reserved, yet seductive aura similar to the women of that period.

The cheongsam she was wearing was a short one. Although she wasn’t tall, but her body proportion were undeniably good and it made her legs look slender and long.

An Feng could feel his gaze on her and she furrowed her eyebrows a little. “Mr Helian, I still have something to do, please excuse me.”

Helian Xiao remained standing there with no intention of moving away.

If someone saw them from afar, she would be pressed between the tall man and the counter, their posture a scandalous one.

An Feng furrowed her eyebrows even harder now. “Mr Helian, please don’t be like this.”

Helian Xiao smirked, asking faintly, “Like what?”

An Feng could tell that he was standing there on purpose. She sucked in a deep breath, planning to move around him. However, she had only taken one step when the man’s slender fingers suddenly reached for her face.

When his warm fingers touched her skin, An Feng fell into a daze, stunned andher mind seemed to blank out slightly.

Seeing her dazed expression, he looked down, leaning closer towards him as he chuckled softly by her ear. “Don’t be angry. I’ll leave.”

…

When they were having dinner, Nan Zhi spoke to An Feng, but didn’t get a reply, so she glanced at An Feng.

An Feng was eating with her head down. She didn’t even take any food in her bowl, merely taking rice and eating them, seemingly in a daze…
