Chapter 998 - Truth (1) (2/2)

A voice in her heart kept telling her to not say anything, to not say anything at all…

However, Helian Xiao’s aura was too strong. It was so cold and low that she could not breathe properly, the air around her seemingly frozen.

The silence continued for a while before Helian Xiao broke the silence coldly. He put a hand into his pocket, looking down at Helian Zhu, his voice low and filled with iciness. “I’m planning to invest in Africa recently. Since you’re so capable, you can go there and start from the beginning. You can come back after the project is finished.”

Helian Zhu’s heart sank.

Africa?

And to start from the bottom? She can only come back after finis.h.i.+ng the project? From what she knew, if she went to work on a project at Africa, it would be impossible to finish it within eight years.

Wasn’t he throwing her into h.e.l.l directly by doing this?

With her eyes s.h.i.+mmering with tears, Helian Zhu’s eyes turned red and the tears that had stopped started to fall again.

Helian Xiao ignored her tears as he said coldly, “Say it!”

Helian Zhu s.h.i.+vered, raising her hands to cup her face as she choked, “The paternity test was sent to me by Auntie Ye. She took it from An Feng…”

The expression on Helian Xiao’s face immediately changed, like a layer of frost had covered him. His expression was so dark it was terrifying. “Is An Feng’s incident Madam Ye’s doing?”

Helian Zhu shook her head. “I don’t know. Auntie Ye only told me to make you come back and keep you here so you don’t return to An Feng…”

As he stared at her with razor-sharp eyes, the dangerous aura he had seemed even more terrifying. “Get to the point!”

“Daddy, you’re so clever, do you really need me to say it? You’ve guessed it already, haven’t you?” As Helian Zhu said this, her heart seemed to be emptied. She really didn’t want Helian Xiao to know about Nan Zhi’s existence. He could only have one daughter and that was her! She didn’t want him to acknowledge Nan Zhi as his daughter!

Yes, Helian Xiao had already briefly guessed some matters.

However, he still felt that it was still rather unrealistic. It was utterly impossible!

Suddenly, his tall figure froze like lightning had struck him.

Even his expression seemed to be sealed by ice.

In his dark and deep eyes, there was an unreadable emotion swarming. His expression was tense as he clenched his fists tightly.

“An Feng was the one who requested the paternity test in your phone?” Helian Xiao suddenly remembered the reaction she had when she saw the faint mark on his wrist, then of the day at the town’s hotel when she came to his room and was searching for something on his robe. He then pressed her under him on the bed, and she pulled at his hair ruthlessly. She even said back then that she wanted to make him bald.

He always thought that she seemed to have a strange animosity against him. However, the weird actions she had from time to time, like wanting to see his wrist and touching his robe made him think that she was playing with him.

However, everything seemed to explain itself right now.

Helian Xiao had always been able to control his emotions. However, right now, his handsome expression had an undeniable surprise and complicatedness written on it.

His heart beat really quickly, as all sorts of emotions swelled within him.

“Daddy, I’m sorry, I was just afraid of losing you. Nan Zhi is only an accident, can you not acknowledge her?”

Originally, Nan Zhi’s background was the largest obstruction for the Royal family to let her marry Ye Sihan. However, if Daddy acknowledged her, then Nan Zhi would have the perfect life.

She couldn’t allow for that to happen!
