Chapter 1023 - Belief
The bedroom door was pushed open from inside suddenly and both An Feng and the butler froze.
An Feng met the eyes of the woman who opened the door.
The woman had a large male nightgown on her, her long hair wet against her shoulders. An Feng’s gaze landed on the woman’s face, her eyes constricting a little.
It was clear the woman had just finished showering. She didn’t have any makeup on, so An Feng could tell that her skin wasn’t very good, her age showing. However, her facial features were pretty and clean, her eyes bright while her aura was gentle and quiet. She wasn’t tall, but her proportions were rather good.
An Feng was dazed for that one second.
Why would this woman whose aura was slightly similar to hers be in Helian Xiao’s room? Also, why was she wearing his nightgown?
The butler froze as well. He only knew that the Old Madam had brought a woman back, but he didn’t expect for her to bring the woman to his Master’s bedroom.
The butler was an old butler that had served the Helian family for many years. Many years ago, he had seen this woman in the bedroom.
If he didn’t remember wrongly, she was probably Master’s first girlfriend, Kuang Meiyue.
Old Madam actually brought her here.
The butler was still thinking of a way to break the awkwardness when Helian Xiao walked over quickly.
“Butler, please bring An Feng to the guest room first.”
An Feng glanced at Helian Xiao, not asking anything before she turned around to follow behind the butler.
Helian Xiao stared at An Feng’s back, hurriedly chasing after them to grab her slender hand. He said hoarsely, “I’ll explain to you later.”
An Feng was not an unreasonable person, and she nodded, “Okay.”
After watching An Feng enter the guest room, Helian Xiao finally turned around to walk towards his bedroom.
Kuang Meiyue was standing by the door, her eyes fixed on Helian Xiao the moment he appeared.
He was as handsome and tall as he was back then. As time passed, the masculine aura he exuded only became more attractive.
Kuang Meiyue stared at his handsome features as she caressed her own face. She didn’t take very good care of her skin, so her skin isn’t as smooth and firm as it was when she was young. Faint wrinkles had also appeared by the corners of her eyes.
However, she knew that she was still pretty.
Seeing Helian Xiao walk over, Kuang Meiyue took a few steps back. Helian Xiao entered the room and stared at her with dark eyes.
She tightened her hold on the nightgown’s belt in unease, not daring to meet his eyes.
Helian Xiao stared at Kuang Meiyue for a few seconds, before he spoke with a furrow at his eyebrows, “Change your clothes and tidy your luggage. I’ll get someone to send you away.”
After finding out the truth behind what happened back then, Helian Xiao felt rather guilty towards her, because it was because of him.
Kuang Meiyue immediately looked up into Helian Xiao’s eyes, her eyes slowly turning red as she said, “Old Madam brought me here, she said… she said…”
Helian Xiao interrupted Kuang Meiyue, furrowing his eyebrows. He said, “My Mom didn’t understand the situation and didn’t know that I already have someone I would like to be my wife.”
Noting the glint of gentleness flashing in his eyes, Kuang Meiyue’s nails sunk into her palm, her lashes fluttering. “Was it that woman earlier?”
Helian Xiao hummed openedly.
Kuang Meiyue nodded, not asking anything more. She took out her clothes from her luggage and went to the bathroom to change her clothes, before she took her luggage and left the room.
After the Old Madam saw Helian Xiao and Kuang Meiyue coming down one after another, she stopped Helian Xiao, saying softly, “Kuang Meiyue divorced with her husband not too long ago. I heard that she had been abused. I brought her over and gave her hope, now that you’re chasing her away, she must feel sad. You should bring her to a hotel personally and have a proper chat with her after she’s checked-in properly.”
The Old Madam sighed. “We are both at fault for this. If you told me earlier that you like Zhizhi’s Mom, I wouldn’t have gone out of my way to find Kuang Meiyue.”
Helian Xiao nodded. “I know.”
…
Helian Xiao sent Kuang Meiyue to a five star hotel under the Helian family.
On the way, Helian Xiao asked about Kuang Meiyue’s situation throughout the last few years.
Kuang Meiyue said that after she got into the accident and broke up with him, she met a man who pursued her. That man had pursued her for many years, and didn’t despise her for having been a forced prostitute before and was very nice to her. Afterwards, they got married, but it was hard for her to conceive. When she finally conceived, she had a miscarriage. After it happened a few times, the man’s attitude towards her changed, and he started to scold and abuse her.
Helian Xiao arrived at the hotel entrance with Kuang Meiyue, apologizing once more for troubling her.
Kuang Meiyue said that it was nothing, as she nodded in understanding.
Helian Xiao got the hotel manager to send Kuang Meiyue to her room, instead of getting off the car himself.
Kuang Meiyue got off, as if thinking of something before she knocked against the window again.
Helian Xiao unwound the window. Kuang Meiyue stared into his deep eyes, asking with slight red eyes, “Brother Xiao, if I was still innocent back then, would you have agreed so quickly when I asked to break up? You were still concerned about it, right?”
Helian Xiao glanced towards Kuang Meiyue. “Why must you mention something that had passed for so long already?”
“Your Mom said that you never got married because of me…”
Helian Xiao interrupted Kuang Meiyue with a low and cold voice. “I didn’t get married only because I haven’t met someone that was suitable for me.”
He meant that it had nothing much to do with her.
Kuang Meiyue nodded, disappointment apparent in her eyes. “I got it. I’m sorry for disturbing you.”
…
Even after Helian Xiao had drove away, Kuang Meiyue remained standing at the hotel entrance. Noting that Kuang Meiyue wasn’t able to look away still, the manager thought that this was another woman who liked his Boss secretly.
…
After Helian Xiao sent Kuang Meiyue away, the Old Madam went up. She found An Feng and explained why Kuang Meiyue had appeared here.
Finding out that it was only a misunderstanding, An Feng didn’t think too much about it.
Since she had decided to be with Helian Xiao properly, she felt that they had give each other proper trust if they wanted to last…
Seeing that An Feng was an understanding, gentle and kind person, the Old Madam felt even more happy and satisfied with her future daughter-in-law.
With this, that meant she had a granddaughter and a daughter-in-law! She would not have any regrets even if she died now!
After the Old Madam left, the butler wanted to get An Feng to move to the master bedroom. However, An Feng rejected the intention.
Although she knew what happened already and trusted Helian Xiao, An Feng still felt slightly uneasy when she recalled the warm and pretty face his first love had.
She wanted to wait until Helian Xiao returned to ask him some things.
Seeing that An Feng wasn’t willing to move to the master bedroom, the butler didn’t force her to. The guest bedrooms in the Helian family house was as luxurious and pretty as the master bedrooms, with their own wardrobe and bathroom.
An Feng waited for a while, but Helian Xiao had yet to return, so she took her pajamas and went to take a shower.
After she was done, she lay on the bed and had a video-call with Zhizhi and the twins for half an hour before she heard the sound of the engine from downstairs. Walking to the window, she saw the tall figure getting off his car.
