Attack of the Adorable Kid: President Daddy's Infinite Pampering - Chapter 1005

Chapter 1005: Let’s Be Strangers!

When An Feng was discharged, Nan Zhi came to fetch her.

Helian Xiao had bought a mansion in the Capital’s rich people residential area and given it to Nan Zhi. His intention was for An Feng to stay in the mansion after she was discharged.

Nan Zhi conveyed Helian Xiao’s intention to her Mom.

For a long moment, An Feng remained silent before she said, “Zhizhi, after you marry SIhan, I plan to use my savings to buy a house. Also, I want to go back to Ning City to pay respects to your grandparents.”

Nan Zhi knew that although her grandparents in Ning City weren’t her Mom’s biological parents, they had taken care of her since young, having adored and doted on her. Mom’s feelings towards them were no less than what a biological child would have for their parents.

Nan Zhi nodded. “I’ll get Sihan to assign two bodyguards to protect you.”

An Feng said with a smile, “There’s no need to. How can there be so many bad people in the world? Mom wants to be free and doesn’t want anyone to follow me.” An Feng caressed Nan Zhi’s face. “I will come back after you come back from M Country and confirm your wedding date with Sihan.

“After paying respects to your grandparents, I still want to travel the world.”

Nan Zhi stared at An Feng, knowing that she wanted to go travel because she didn’t want to see Helian Xiao.

“Mom, do you still hate him badly?”

An Feng shook her head. “I can’t say that it’s hate, but it’s very confusing. I want to be alone to sort my thoughts out.”

Nan Zhi nodded. “Then you have to contact me everyday to tell me you’re safe. Take care when you’re out there alone.”

“Foolish girl, I’m not a child.”

Nan Zhi and An Feng were planning to get on their car when a black luxurious sedan suddenly drove over. Helian Xiao, who was dressed in a white shirt and black pants, got off the car.

Although Nan Zhi had arrived to go to M Country with Helian Xiao to meet the family, she still hadn’t called him ‘Father’ yet.

Helian Xiao never forced her to do so either.

Building their father and daughter relationship was not something that could be done in one day. Also, he understood very clearly that Nan Zhi cared the most about her mother’s feelings.

“Zhizhi, can I speak to your Mom?”

Nan Zhi glanced at An Feng.

After a few seconds, An Feng nodded.

Helian Xiao opened the car door for An Feng, gesturing for her to get into the car first.

The driver got off the car quietly, and within seconds, only Helian Xiao and An Feng were left in the well-shielded car.

“I’m bringing Zhizhi to M Country tomorrow.” Helian Xiao stared at An Feng with dark eyes. “I hope that you can go back with me. I would like to introduce you to my family, and also for you to give me a chance to make it up to you.”

An Feng stared at Helian Xiao’s dark eyes, opening her mouth to say something when his phone suddenly rang.

“You answer the call first.”

Helian Xiao looked away from An Feng’s pretty and elegant face. He took out his phone and answered the call after seeing the caller ID.

“Mom.”

Hearing Helian Xiao call his mother softly, An Feng straightened her back unconsciously.

The sound-proofing in the car was done too well. On top of the soft speaker volume, An Feng briefly heard the Old Madam say, “When will you find a proper woman? In the past, you said that you were going to work. Alright, you’re now the Head of the Helian family. You have your position, influence and you’re not young anymore. Did you forget that I already have one foot in the grave? Will I be able to see you with a family before I die? When will I have a grandchild?”

“You will have one tomorrow.” Helian Xiao merely laughed in response to the Old Madam’s tempered rambling.

“How can you still laugh? You unfilial child!” The Old Madam seemed to react one step slower, asking immediately after she shouted. “What did you just say? I will have a grandchild tomorrow? What happened? Did you have a bastard child outside? You irresponsible asshole! How did I educate you since you were young…?

“You must be lying to me right? Alright, I won’t say too much for you. I have a suitable candidate that suits you, come back tomorrow and I’ll introduce you to her.”

Before Helian Xiao could say anything, the Old Madam hung up.

The atmosphere in the car instantly turned slightly frozen and quiet.

Helian Xiao put away his phone and coughed awkwardly. “My Mother is old and is in a rush to find a daughter-in-law and have grandchildren. You should understand that!”

An Feng hummed in agreement.

“So, will you go back with me tomorrow?”

Now, An Feng could feel his warm and heated gaze on her. She looked down. “Mr Helian, I think that we should continue to be strangers! It’s alright as long as you’re nice to Zhizhi, you don’t have to care about me.”

Helian Xiao pursed his lips tightly, staring at An Feng intently. He could not see any feelings she might have for him in her eyes.

Perhaps, he had overestimated his charm in the first place.

When she had been hospitalized recently, he went to find out about what happened to her in the past. He found out that she didn’t like men like him. At the masked ball back then, the teenager she planned to confess to was the same type as her ex-husband.

The thing that could not be forced the most in this world was probably feelings!

At their age, he didn’t want to force a person that didn’t like him either. How would that be different to what he had done to her in the past?

He took out a cigarette, lighting it up as he narrowed his eyes to smoke.

As he stared at An Feng’s quiet and calm side profile, he was silent for a few seconds before he nodded. “I told you before, if you really don’t want to, I won’t force you.”

An Feng turned towards him, their eyes meeting as she heard him say hoarsely, “Let me apologize once more about what happened back then. Of course, the harm has been caused and it’s not something that can be made up with an apology. However, I will treat Zhizhi properly in the future.”

An Feng’s lips moved. “That’s enough.”

They fell silent once more.

Halfway through his cigarette, An Feng broke the silence. “I’ll leave first.”

He hummed, his expression dark and unreadable. “Good bye.”

With that, An Feng pushed the door open. She was about to get off the car when she heard the man’s low and rich voice. “I’m not young anymore, and it is indeed time for me to start a family. If I go back and agree to my Mother’s matchmaking session, are you alright with it?”

Instead of turning back, An Feng merely said, “That’s your own business.”

She closed the door and left.

…

Just as An Feng requested, after Helian Xiao brought Nan Zhi back to M Country, he never looked for her again.

But Nan Zhi would call An Feng at least twice everyday. She didn’t know what her daughter was thinking, as she mentioned Helian Xiao often in the calls.

One example was the second night after An Feng had returned to Ning City. Nan Zhi told her, “There’s an elite lady in her thirties that came over today. She’s really knowledgeable and pretty. They had a meal together and he even sent her back.”

An Feng changed the topic. “Did Helian Zhu cause trouble to you after you returned? And the Old Madam, does she like you?”

“Helian Zhu didn’t return to the Helian family. The Old Madam is a cheerful and nice person. When she saw such an old granddaughter appear in front of her, she was very passionate and likes me a lot! Mom, don’t worry about me! You, on the other hand, have to take care and stay safe outside!”
