Chapter 1009 - Attraction
The exclusive island was cleared off and only guests who came to attend the wedding were left. An Feng followed Tang Ci to the hotel’s banquet hall for dinner.
During the meal, An Feng did not see Helian Xiao and Bernice at all.
After dinner, An Feng let Tang Ci go for her wedding preparations and she went out of the hotel, walking towards the beach.
The Mo family was the leading family of the four largest families in Mexico. With the Second Young Master of the family getting married, there were many guests who came to attend the wedding.
Many guests were playing beach volleyball and some were riding motorboats.
As An Feng walked along the beach by the sea, she took out her phone to look at it.
There was still no reply from Helian Xiao.
Resisting the urge to call him, An Feng put her phone away again. The wind was strong and her hair that was spread over her shoulders were blown over her eyes.
An Feng raised her hand and brushed her hair behind her ear. When she had arrived at the hotel earlier, she had changed into some loose, white casual wear. With her slender figure, she looked quiet and elegant as she walked along the beach.
There were sounds of laughter around here, but she was quiet.
After walking for some time, she felt slightly tired and sat down under a palm tree.
Not far away, there was a band playing. A group of men and women surrounded the band and many people moved their bodies with the music.
When An Feng took a glance towards the crowd, she did not expect to see Bernice. Bernice’s wavy golden hair was tied into a high ponytail and she was dressed in sexy suspenders and a short skirt that was up to her thighs. Her slender waist was swaying around to the music.
With such a good figure and her vibrant and lively personality, many men were attracted by her and whistled at her from time to time.
An Feng thought of Helian Xiao, who had not replied to her message. If Bernice was here dancing, did that mean he was here too?
Sure enough, after a while, An Feng saw Helian Xiao who was also sitting under a tree.
He was also dressed casually. He was sitting on a mat, holding a glass of wine in his hand. His deep eyes were fixed on the dancing Bernice.
An Feng pursed her lips, not knowing whether she should get up and ask him about the present.
The dancing Bernice suddenly walked towards Helian Xiao, her limbs were very nimble and there seemed to be a motor installed in her perky buttocks. She put down the wine glass in Helian Xiao’s hand and pulled him up from the mat.
Helian Xiao waved his hand at Bernice and because it was a little far and the music was loud, An Feng could not hear what he had said to Bernice. She only saw him looking at Bernice with a helpless and slightly indulgent gaze. Finally, he was pulled up by her.
He was so tall and if he did not want to stand up, Bernice could never pull him up no matter how hard she tried.
Bernice looked beautiful and graceful, warm and gorgeous. In the end, he was still interested in that kind of woman!
With a sigh, An Feng held down the pain spreading out from the bottom of her heart. She reminded herself that she should neither care nor be sad. He was single and had the right to pursue good things. In the end, she was the one who had pushed him away.
After Bernice pulled him up, they went to the front of the band.
The band improvised a piece of music. An Feng found out for the first time that Helian Xiao could dance very well. His sense of rhythm was good and he perfectly complemented Bernice.
Surprisingly, it wasn’t strange at all for a man of his age to dance like that.
From a distance, he looked like a big boy.
Perhaps this was the shining point of a radiant person no matter what they did!
Not wanting to see anymore, An Feng stood up and left.
The moment she turned around, Helian Xiao pushed Bernice away and glanced at her. “Enough.”
As Bernice stood on tiptoes, she put her arm on Helian Xiao’s shoulder, watching An Feng’s retreating figure and said with a grin, “Did I overdo it?”
…
An Feng had not walked far when a tall and refined figure suddenly appeared in front of her.
Their eyes met.
First there was surprise, followed by disbelief in their eyes.
“An Feng?”
“Senior Zhou Li?” An Feng asked, unsure.
Zhou Li nodded, a surprised smile appearing on his ever handsome face. “What a coincidence. You’re here to attend Second Young Master Mo’s wedding too?”
“I’m the relative of the bride.”
Zhou Li looked at An Feng who was still slim and gentle after so many years, and said with a hint of nostalgia in his voice, “You haven’t changed much, but I’ve changed a lot.”
“Senior you’re being polite. I’m middle-aged now, how can I compare to when I was young?”
Zhou Li was about to say something when a bloated woman appeared, dressed like she was made of brilliant jewels and pearls.
“I was just having a meal and you came to hit on a woman?” The woman grabbed Zhou Li’s ear as soon as she came over.
An Feng was stunned for a moment before she explained immediately, “Madam, he’s not hitting on me. We used to be schoolmates and happened to meet each other here.”
An Feng had the appearance of a typical Asian woman who was favored by the gods of time. She did not look old at all and with her calm and gentle temperament, she did not look like those her age. The woman obviously did not believe An Feng’s words. She glanced at An Feng and seeing that she was not wearing a wedding ring, she frowned even deeper. “Since you haven’t met for many years, what is there to reminisce about? If you have the energy, why don’t you look for a man properly? You’d better stay away from a married man like Zhou Li.”
Or else.
The hidden words were clear and the woman left, pulling Zhou Li away without giving An Feng the chance to say anything in return.
Zhou Li turned around, wanting to say something to An Feng, but the woman gave a sharp twist to his ear.
Seeing them, An Feng stood on the spot, her expression slightly dazed.
Senior used to be so talented and filled with confidence. Back then, he had started his own business when he was still a student and she did not expect he would be so afraid of his wife.
People really did change.
An Feng could not help but think of Nan Weiye. The other time she saw him at H City, he was already financially supported by a wealthy woman and was also this cautious and afraid.
Ha.
As she was in a daze, a low laugh entered her ear.
An Feng looked sideways and saw Helian Xiao and Bernice walking past her. That slightly mocking low laugh seemed to have come from Helian Xiao.
Was he laughing at her?
But since Helian Xiao did not look at An Feng, she was not able to ask him directly.
Remembering that the gift Zhizhi had prepared was still with him, she hurried after them. “Mr Helian.”
Helian Xiao and Beatrice stopped.
An Feng went over and stood in front of them. She looked at Helian Xiao’s indifferent face and said softly, “Zhizhi said that she had a gift with you. May I know when it would be convenient for you so I can take it?”
Helian Xiao glanced at An Feng and said in a low voice to Bernice beside him, “Go and wait for me first.”
Bernice held his arm and acted coquettishly. “Be quick!”
After Bernice left, Helian Xiao raised his arm to look at his watch. “Come and find me in villa 1-106 in two hours.”
An Feng nodded. “Okay.”
Putting his hands into the pockets of his pants, Helian Xiao strode towards Bernice without saying anything else to An Feng.
Looking at his indifferent and cold figure, the suffocating feeling in An Feng’s heart became more intense. It was so intense that her emotions were about to burst out.
