Chapter 987: Catching Fire

An Feng put the cup in the bag into the cabinet and she heard Nan Zhi calling her from outside, “Mom, Mr Helian is leaving.”

Since An Feng did not want Nan Zhi to see her strange attitude towards Helian Xiao, she walked out of the kitchen after calling out a response.

Helian Xiao stood in the yard and Helian Zhu had already gotten into the car.

Seeing An Feng coming out, Helian Xiao raised his eyes and looked at her. An Feng met with his eyes for a few seconds before looking away.

Having interacted with Helian Xiao twice, she recalled the descriptions of him in newspapers and magazines. Handsome, mature, wise and a gentleman.

After having close contact with him, she knew that the words were only illusions, and that the real Helian Xiao was not like that at all.

An Feng dared not even tell Nan Zhi what had happened between Helian Xiao and her. When Helian Xiao saw that An Feng did not dare to look at him, he gave a low laugh before turning to leave.

After their car left, Nan Zhi came up to An Feng. “Mom, don’t you think that Mr Helian’s not too bad?”

An Feng said simply, “I don’t think so.”

Nan Zhi handed the gold-stamped business card in her hand to An Feng. “This is Mr Helian’s private number. Mom, help me keep it. If Mu Sihan saw it, he’ll only be jealous again.”

The business card seemed to gleam in her hands and An Feng looked down, slightly dazed.

Nan Zhi entered the house. Once Nan Zhi had left, An Feng threw the business card in her hand into the bin.

After dinner, An Feng went out to throw the garbage and frowned when she saw that business card in the bin. Then she picked it up again.

…

After the twins fell asleep, Nan Zhi received a video call from Mu Sihan. Nan Zhi did not hide what had happened from him. “Mr Helian came to apologize to me with Helian Zhu today.”

Mu Sihan was silent when he heard Nan Zhi’s words.

With Helian Xiao’s status and personality, he would actually take Helian Zhu to apologize to Nan Zhi?

Wasn’t it more than a bit unusual?

In his opinion, apologizing was just on the way. His real purpose was to see Nan Zhi!

Nan Zhi saw that Mu Sihan was silent and she smiled. “You’re jealous? Don’t think too much about it, Mr Helian treats me like his own child.”

Mu Sihan snorted. “I’m really suspicious with him being so good to you.” Fortunately, he could bring her back to the Capital tomorrow.

Ending the video call, Nan Zhi was both happy and uneasy to learn that he would come tomorrow. Although they would be closer after returning to the Capital, status was an obstacle that they could never overcome.

…

After Helian Xiao and Helian Zhu left the private restaurant, they did not leave the town immediately, but found a hotel.

In the evening, Helian Zhu tossed and turned and could not sleep.

There were many things troubling her.

What she could not figure out the most was An Feng putting the cup in the bag.

Helian Zhu’s phone suddenly rang. She answered it quickly when she saw the caller ID and called affectionately, “Auntie.”

The person who called her was Ye Sihan’s mother, Mrs Ye. She had always had a good relationship with Mrs Ye and Mrs Ye often visited the Helian’s house.

Helian Zhu’s mother passed away early and she would confide many of her worries to Mrs Ye.

“Zhuzhu, I was busy today and just heard about what happened with the Royal family this afternoon. Silly girl, why didn’t you discuss with me before doing something like this?”

Helian Zhu sniffed and her voice was choked. “I wanted to marry Sihan so much and seeing that he was going to pick Nan Zhi up, I panicked and did something like that! Auntie, my Daddy has already made me apologize to Sihan and Nan Zhi…”

Before Helian Zhu could finish, Mrs Ye said, slightly surprised, “What? Your father asked you to apologize to Nan Zhi as well?”

“Yes.” Helian Zhu was angry and could not help complaining to Mrs Ye. “I really don’t know what spell Nan Zhi cast on my Daddy. He came to take me himself. There’s another thing I don’t understand…”

Mrs Ye was silent for a moment before she said, “Tell me what’s the matter.”

“I saw Nan Zhi’s mother put a cup my Daddy had drunk from, into a transparent bag.”

Mrs Ye was silent and it seemed like her phone had dropped to the ground. Helian Zhu asked hurriedly when she heard a bang, “Auntie, are you okay?”

A few seconds later, Mrs Ye picked up her phone and said in a strange voice, “Zhuzhu, there’s something I have to tell you…”

…

An Feng slept halfway through the night and felt that her throat was a little uncomfortable. Getting out of bed, she went downstairs to drink water.

When she reached the stairs, she smelled the pungent smell of smoke.

She hurried downstairs and saw that there was smoke coming from the kitchen. Her eyes flashed and she shouted, “Zhizhi, get the children! There’s a fire!”

Nan Zhi was a light sleeper and hearing An Feng’s shout, she quickly woke the twins.

Feng Yao did not leave with Helian Xiao and also stayed here. Hearing sounds, he quickly woke up as well.

He wore his night robe and ran down the stairs.

An Feng had taken out the fire extinguisher and Feng Yao took it from her. “Auntie Feng, let me do it. You call the police.”

Fortunately, the fire was only in the kitchen. Half an hour later, the fire was put out. By now the police had come and was investigating the cause of the fire.

“Fortunately, Auntie Feng came downstairs and discovered in time, otherwise the consequences could be disastrous,” Feng Yao said.

An Feng and Nan Zhi were both carrying a child each. Feng Yao was right, if they were a few minutes late, the fire would probably have spread upstairs.

There was the sound of a car stopping in the yard, but nobody was in the mood to care who had arrived. A moment later, Helian Xiao in a black coat, walked in.

Feng Yao explained, “I knew my Lord was still in town, so I gave him a call.”

Helian Xiao looked at the disorderly kitchen and then looked towards Nan Zhi and the twins. “Are you injured?” When his gaze landed on An Feng, it stopped for one or two seconds before he looked away.

Nan Zhi shook her head. “Luckily my mom discovered it early. Everyone is fine.”

“You can’t stay here tonight. Come with me to the hotel!” Helian Xiao said calmly. “After the police find out the cause of fire, I’ll ask them to inform you as soon as possible.”

Nan Zhi nodded. “Okay.”

…

After packing their things upstairs, Nan Zhi and the rest followed Helian Xiao to the hotel.

Along the way, An Feng was silent. Helian Xiao also did not say anything to her and kept talking to Nan Zhi and the twins. Suddenly thinking of the cup in the cabinet, she mused thoughtlessly, it must be burnt and useless now.

An Feng glanced at Helian Xiao from the corner of her eye. If she did not have the cup, it was fine to get a strand of his hair, right?

But he seemed to be ignoring her. It was not an easy feat if she wanted to get his hair!

Not long after arriving at the hotel, Nan Zhi received a call from the police. They had identified the cause of the fire. It was caused by the aging of the circuits in the kitchen.
