  An Feng got on the plane.

  But the uneasy feeling in her chest was still present. To be more accurate, she probably wasn’t uneasy, but uncomfortable.

  For some reason, Seeing Helian Xiao with another woman made her uncomfortable.

  But then, who was she to be uncomfortable?

  What happened back then had always been a trauma to her. It was impossible for her to accept a man who had raped her.

  Later, Nan Weiye appeared to approach her with hidden intentions. Because she was pregnant, Nan Weiye took good care of her while also looking down at her.

  No one would believe her, but he had never touched her in the years she was married to Nan Weiye.

  At first, she used her pregnancy as an excuse. After she had Zhizhi, her attention was placed on Zhizhi completely. When Zhizhi was slightly older, there was one time when Nan Weiye got drunk and wanted to touch her. It happened to be a rainy night, and it made her recall the night she had been raped. After being agitated by her memories, she resisted violetently.

  So violently that Nan Weiye was injured by her.

  Using his delirious state from the alcohol, he confessed to her. He cursed her, calling her shameless and promiscuous, saying that a woman like her didn’t deserve his true feelings!

  At that time, she wanted to die so badly!

  However, because of Zhizhi, she persevered! For a very long time, she hoped for that man who raped her would die! She didn’t want to suffer through the torment of those memories anymore.

  However, as the years passed, she slowly let go of it as well.

  However, there was still a knot in her heart. She thought that she wouldn’t meet that person again in her lifetime. But, she did, and it happened to be Helian Xiao.

  With the discovery of who he was, he had explained what happened back then, that he had looked for her, but her best friend had posed as her. He didn’t seem to be as bad as he had imagined. In fact, he was very caring to her when she was hospitalized.

  She couldn’t deny the masculine charisma he exuded from within him.

  An Feng wasn’t willing to think about it again. However, the sight of that charming woman he found kept appearing in her mind.

  In the call she had with Zhizhi a few days ago, she said that his matchmaking partner was knowledgeable and pretty. Did he not like her anymore? Had he found another woman already?

  This woman was warm and open, not shying from being intimate with him in public, so they must have had that kind of relationship!

  When he was interested in her, he wanted to sleep with her already.

  Was he always this straightforward towards women?

  Closing her eyes, An Feng chided herself internally, telling herself to not think about it again.

  Forget it! She should just treat Helian Xiao as an interlude in her life!……

  An Feng had booked a first-class ticket. She leaned back in her seat, planning to close her eyes and rest.

  Suddenly, the woman’s pleasant laughter rang by her ears. “Darling, we’re not sitting together, oh……”


  All the sleepiness in An Feng’s mind dissipated immediately.

  How could there be such a coincidence?

  Were Helian Xiao and that woman taking this flight as well?

  An Feng straightened her back unconsciously, placing her hands on her knees as she clenched her fists slightly.

  Surely it couldn’t be so coincidental that one of them would sit beside her?

  Just as An Feng was thinking it, the woman’s laughing voice trailed over again. “Xiao, you’re sitting next to the window of the second row.”


  An Feng didn’t need to turn around, already able to hear the man’s footsteps.

  They were approaching her slowly.

  Frozen like a statue, An Feng found herself unable to move from the string of coincidences. All she could feel was how quick her heart was beating.

  Why was she feeling like this? She didn’t know what she was being guilty and nervous about.

  Very quickly, the man’s heavy footsteps stopped next to her.

  “I’m sorry, please excuse me.” The man’s low and distant voice rang.

  An Feng took a deep breath before she looked up at the man who was preparing to pass by her. She forced out a smile on her pretty face. “What a coincidence.”


  Helian Xiao was still wearing his sunglasses, so An Feng couldn’t read his expression very clearly. She didn’t know if he was looking at her either, her smile freezing slightly. “I can change seats with your girlfriend.” With that said, she got up.

  The woman was sitting in the same row as An Feng, however, they were separated with an aisle between them. When she heard An Feng’s words, the woman hurriedly shook her head. “It’s alright. It’s only a few hours anyway. I don’t want to sit with him! When we left the café earlier, he said that I gave my contact to a man who approached me and he’s still angry at me! So petty!”


  An Feng glanced at Helian Xiao’s dark expression. He had pursed his lips slightly, looking like he was indeed slightly unhappy.

  His feelings really changed very quickly! When he was interested in her, she almost thought that he was really only interested in her.

  However, it had only been such a short while, yet he was already caring for another woman!

  Indeed, men were all trash!

  It was a good thing that her Zhizhi had found a man that was only good to her!

  Seeing that the woman wasn’t willing to change seats with her, An Feng had nothing else to say. However, it felt really awkward to sit between a couple who had argued.

  As An Feng glanced at the man from the corner of her eye, she noticed he had already sat down and pushed his sunglasses to the top of his head. He took out a finance magazine and started to read.

  When they left the Capital, she told him to act like strangers.

  Indeed, he was doing it very well.

  With how cold he was acting, it was as if they had never interacted before.

  Did all men have two faces?

  Turning away from him, An Feng put on the earphones to listen to some music. She didn’t know if it was because their seats were too close together, but she could smell the faint cigarette smell from him from time to time.

  Normally she didn’t like men who smoked, because she couldn’t stand that kind of choking scent, it was nauseating.

  However, the cigarette smell on Helian Xiao wasn’t heavy and choking every time she smelt it. It was faint and slightly minty, mixing well with the scent of a mature and healthy man.

  At the Capital, when he went to the hospital everyday, she didn’t think it was too much.

  However, in the days they had been apart, when he treated her coldly and had become another woman’s man, she finally understood that she started to care for him unconsciously.

  Because of what happened back then, she had been unable to forgive him and ignored her feelings for him as a result. If she ignored what had happened back then, her heart would undeniably flutter every time he approached her.

  However, she understood it too late now.

  He already had a new beginning, with someone else……

  After the flight took off, the woman sitting on the other side of the aisle chatted with An Feng.

  “Hi, I’m Bernice, do you know Xiao?”


  An Feng recalled what Helian Xiao had said back in the café, as she replied softly, “I do, but we’re not very well acquainted.”


  Bernice pouted. “You both say the same things.” Bernice cupped her cheeks, smiling brightly, “What do you think about him? Isn’t he slightly cold and aloof?”


  Aloof?

  When An Feng was with him, she only thought that he was a nicely dressed beast that was very good at flirting with girls in private.

  In all honesty, An Feng didn’t want to talk too much about Helian Xiao with the woman. Besides, he was sitting beside her, so she only smiled awkwardly. “I’m sorry, I’m not too sure about that.”
