Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Helian Xiao waved Bernice’s hand away with no expression on his face.
Seeing him like this, Bernice pouted her sexy red lips. “What, are you getting angry at me because you don’t have enough charm to chase a woman?”
Helian Xiao glanced at Bernice, his eyes narrowed with a dangerous aura. “Look at what you’re wearing? In the future, no necklines that are lower than your collarbones and no skirts that are higher than your knees.”
Bernice took a big step back and looked at Helian Xiao as if he was a monster. “Are you kidding me? Do you have to care about what I wear?”
“You don’t want to listen to me?” Helian Xiao smirked darkly. “I can stop the credit card I gave you at any time.”
With her face aghast, Bernice stepped forward and held Helian Xiao’s arm, acting coquettishly. “If you stop my credit card, I won’t help you chase your woman.”
Helian Xiao looked at Bernice, his expression as cold as ice. “You’re not much of a help anyway.”
“Give me one more chance. I have a way for her to come to you on her own initiative and confess her feelings to you!”
Confess her feelings? Helian Xiao sneered. “That’s enough. You mind your own business!”
Bernice saw that Helian Xiao did not believe her and she picked up the sexy nightdress from the carpet, leaving the villa quickly without waiting for Helian Xiao to say anything.
...
After escaping from the villa, An Feng returned to her own room. She had just finished taking a bath and changed her clothes when the doorbell rang.
An Feng thought it was Tang Ci. She went to the door and opened it, having no time to even dry her hair.
A charming woman was leaning against the door.
Bernice was wearing a female’s night robe, her hair spread around her shoulders and holding an open bottle of red wine in her hand.
“Hi.” Bernice winked at Bernice, looking absolutely charming.
An Feng was slightly uneasy. Did Bernice find out about how Helian Xiao had carried her into the room and massaged her ankle?
“May I come in?”
Facing the sensuous woman, An Feng did not know how to refuse. Without waiting for An Feng to say anything, Bernice took a step in first.
An Feng had no choice but to close the door.
After Bernice sat herself on the sofa, she crossed her long legs elegantly. “Can I call you Sister An? On this island, other than Xiao, I only know you. I’m not in a good mood and wanted you to have a drink with me.”
An Feng sat opposite Bernice and politely refused. “Sorry, I’m not very good at drinking.”
Bernice tapped at her lips with her bright red nail. “Is that so. Then it’s fine. You can still have a chat with me, no?”
An Feng was speechless.
“The temperature in your room seems a little high.” Bernice took off her night robe and she was wearing a black lace nightdress inside. If An Feng was right, it was the nightdress she had seen in Helian Xiao’s room.
The nightdress was quite sexy. The wide collar was adorned with diamonds and the thin lace wrapped around the woman’s appealing figure, partly hiding what was beneath and partly revealing it at the same time. It was particularly alluring, especially with Bernice’s gorgeous face.
The skin exposed was delicate and smooth.
This was probably the difference between An Feng and Bernice. It seemed impossible for her to wear such a nightdress in her life.
“Miss Bernice, I’m a little tired. If you want to chat, you should go back to Mr Helian!”
Bernice seemed to have not heard An Feng. She pouted and said with a husky and sexy voice, “Sister An, let’s not talk about him. He’s forbidding me to wear sexy clothes now. He’s too strict.”
A listener might have perceived an unintended meaning in what was said. Lowering her eyes, An Feng pushed down the bitterness spreading out from her heart. “That’s because he cares about you.”
“He’s an old-fashioned man. Whenever I’m with him, I feel pressured. He always forbids me to do this or that. It’s annoying,” Bernice said, a smile on her face. She took out a credit card. “But he’s still generous enough to satisfy my monetary desires.”
An Feng furrowed her eyebrows. Was this Bernice really dumb or just acting dumb? Why did she come here to tell her all of this?
“But there’s not many men like him nowadays. Handsome with a good figure and stamina, and the main thing is that he’s filthy rich. Many women are so envious of me!” Bernice looked at An Feng. “Sister An, do you envy me too?”
An Feng had no words. It was as though could not communicate with Bernice and she sighed slightly. “Miss Bernice, it’s late. You’d better go back and have an early rest!”
Getting up, Bernice put on her night robe. She came up to An Feng and leaned forward slightly. An Feng frowned. “Miss Bernice, what are you doing?”
Bernice pressed An Feng’s slender shoulders and smiled. “You like him too, right?”
With her thoughts seen through by Bernice, An Feng felt at a loss. She wanted to change the subject, but Bernice did not intend to let her go that easily. “I saw him carrying you back to the room and you were even blushing.”
“I...” An Feng’s eyelashes fluttered. She felt guilty and helpless. “I’m sorry. There won’t be another time.”
“Okay, then tell me. Do you feel something for him? If you lie, I won’t forgive you.”
An Feng replied, “All I can say is that I’m sorry.”
Finally, Bernice released her hold on An Feng’s shoulders and raised her eyebrows. “My womanly intuition tells me that you like my brother.”
An Feng was stunned.
Brother?
Seeing An Feng’s doubts, a smile appeared on Bernice’s charming face. “Yes, I’m Helian Xiao’s half sister, we’re blood-related siblings. With his personality, how could he possibly like a woman who’s hot and unrestrained like me?
“Sister An, it’s clear that you both have each other in your hearts. Why don’t you open your hearts?” Bernice looked at An Feng’s eyes, her gaze sincere. “My brother is really a good marriage partner. For you, he resisted the pressure of my family, but his mother is giving him one last chance. Ten days. If he can’t find a woman he likes in ten days, he must go back and marry a socialite of her choice. Now that time is running out, are you sure you don’t want to tell him how you feel?”
An Feng was speechless.
Bernice left soon after with a swoosh of her long robe. After she left, An Feng fell onto the sofa. The red wine seemed to call to her, and she picked it up, downing two mouthfuls.
The words Bernice said before she left were echoing in her mind.
She did not expect that Helian Xiao and Bernice were not lovers but siblings...
What’s more, for her, Helian Xiao did not agree to the arranged marriage set up for him by his mother.
Before, she did not know him and felt that the person who raped her was absolutely wicked. But when she knew him, she thought that he was not that bad.
Did she really want to give up on such a man?
When Bernice left, she also said that although the woman beside him this time was not his real girlfriend, if she did not fight for it, it would be real the next time.
Then, it would be too late for her to have any regrets.
Closing her eyes, An Feng picked up the bottle of red wine, drinking a few more mouthfuls.
Since this trip to the island made her see her heart clearly, why did she have to lie and give up on such a good man?
She did not know if it was because she drank wine and became more fearless. After thinking through some things, An Feng changed and summoned up her courage, arriving once again at the villa Helian Xiao stayed in.
