An Feng was delighted hearing the words ‘Princess Consort’, but Nan Zhi was blushing.

It was not easy to be a qualified Princess Consort.

In the future, her every move would be magnified infinitely. If there was any problem, she would be attacked and scolded with no mercy.

The past few days after returning to the Capital, she had been actively learning the court etiquette from the old granny.

…

Madam Ye wanted to drive Nan Zhi and An Feng out of Crown Palace, but in the end she was the one who left in a huff. If it was Ye Qing who ascended the throne, he would definitely listen to her and not treat her like that.

Feeling aggrieved and furious, she stormed into the office.

She knew that Ye Sihan would not stand on her side. Even if he knew she was angered by An Feng and Nan Zhi in Crown Palace, he would side with them.

So she decided to look for the Queen.

Before Madam Ye entered the Queen’s office, she met Ye Fengjun, who was in a wheelchair.

Ye Fengjun called Madam Ye into his office.

“Why are you here?” Ye Fengjun asked coldly.

Madam Ye laughed. “Why can’t I be here?”

“Don’t you know how long you haven’t been back? Yi Sha, do you still care about this family?”

Madam Ye glanced at Ye Fengjun. “You’re useless. You can’t even protect my Ah Qing, what right do you have to question me?”

“Isn’t Sihan also your son?” After Ye Fengjun became disabled, he had let go of many things. After interacting with Sihan, he found that his abilities were better than that of Ye Qing!

The past few years, whenever he thought of the past, he regretted how he had treated his own child. Although they were not at loggerheads with each other anymore, their relationship was neither hot nor cold, and his grandchildren were not close to him.

Now he was trying his best to make up to him, but Yi Sha, as a mother, felt no sense of regret and was still like this!

Madam Ye did not want to talk to Ye Fengjun anymore and she turned, walking towards the door.

Ye Fengjun looked at her back and closed his eyes, saying in a deep and hoarse voice, “Since your heart is no longer in this family, let’s get a divorce!”

…

An Feng and Nan Zhi took a car to a high-end clubhouse.

“What day is it today? Why did Sihan invite us out for a meal?” An Feng asked.

Nan Zhi smiled and replied. “Mmm. We also invited another guest.”

“Why did you ask me here if you’re treating a guest?”

When they arrived at the entrance of the private room, Nan Zhi grabbed An Feng, who wanted to leave, and smiled. “Mom, you know the guest too.”

Pushing open the door, there were two people sitting around the large round table and the atmosphere seemed harmonious.

One of them was Mu Sihan and the other… An Feng shifted her eyes and her gaze landed on a mature man in a black tailored suit. She stopped in her tracks and her expression turned slightly stiff.

Why was he here?

Thinking of the phone call she received in the taxi earlier, was he already in the Capital when he made that phone call?

Nan Zhi glanced at An Feng. There was really something fishy going on!

“Mom, what’s wrong?”

An Feng regained her senses and found that everyone was looking at her, including Helian Xiao.

He was leaning against the chair with his legs crossed, holding a cigarette between his fingers. His gaze was deep, steady and elegant, and there was a smile on his lips which could make people’s heart beat faster looking at it.

Helian Xiao did not stand up. He glanced at An Feng slightly before he looked away to continue his conversation with Mu Sihan, as if An Feng was a stranger whom he had met for the first time.

An Feng put aside her complicated thoughts and said to Nan Zhi, “Let’s go in!”

This was a private dinner and there was no segregation of statuses, only elders and juniors.

An Feng sat together with Helian Xiao, while Nan Zhi and Mu Sihan sat on the other side.

After ordering food, Helian Xiao chatted with Nan Zhi. Mu Sihan did not like Nan Zhi to be overly warm with other men, so he pinched her hand under the table.

Nan Zhi immediately held his hand, her fingertips writing a few soothing words on his palm.

Helian Xiao looked at the young people opposite and a smile appeared on his handsome and elegant face. “I hope to enjoy your wedding sweets soon.”

Mu Sihan and Nan Zhi looked at each other and he said, “Soon enough, she will be the Princess Consort of S Country.”

His voice was low and magnetic, and the words ‘Princess Consort’ coming out from his mouth were spoken with an unspeakable sexiness.

Nan Zhi’s heart was throbbing.

Looking at how loving and sweet they were, An Feng felt happy for them in her heart. Although there was Helian Xiao whom she disliked beside her, her mood still turned better.

While the others were chatting, she would also speak a little. But every time, she would not pick up the thread of conversation from Helian Xiao.

She was deliberately drawing the line with him. If there was an outsider, he would surely think that she was not familiar with Helian Xiao. But Nan Zhi and Mu Sihan were shrewd people, they could feel the strange atmosphere between An Feng and Helian Xiao.

As they were chatting, Nan Zhi suddenly said, “Mom, I’m going to get married soon. Do you really not think of having a person by your side to take care of you in the future?”

Mu Sihan then continued, “Mom, the Dean of the Royal Hospital asked about you from me a few days ago.”

Furrowing her brows, An Feng glared at the two of them. They were having dinner, why were they suddenly bringing this up?

“Is it that new dean? I’ve seen his news interview, he’s just in his early forties! He looks talented and refined and seems like a good match to Mom!”

An Feng was speechless. Why were these two children getting more and more out of line?

Helian Xiao and Mu Sihan had drunk several glasses of white wine, but there were no signs on his face that he had drunk any wine. When he heard Nan Zhi and Mu Sihan’s words, he leaned his body against the chair, looking at the side of An Feng’s slightly embarrassed face. “If Madam An isn’t interested in doctors, I have someone suitable for you on my side.”

Still frowning, An Feng looked sideways at the man.

With his arm resting on the back of the chair, his shirt was tight against his chest and his chest muscles and contours of his arm were perfectly outlined, looking strong and powerful.

An Feng looked away and met his eyes.

There was a hint of amusement in his eyes, but it disappeared quickly. His eyes were dark and unreadable.

There was often a smile on his face, but it was always the smile of a refined gentleman. People like him were poker-faced and it was difficult to see what they were thinking.

But his smile, coupled with his expression of sizing her up, made An Feng feel a little nervous, as if she had done something wrong and was caught.

“I’m going to the washroom.” An Feng wiped her mouth, stood up and left.

…

In the washroom, An Feng took out her phone and sent a message to Ah Hua.

Ah Hua was still in the neighboring country. He replied and said that he would get the results in the afternoon.

An Feng breathed a sigh of relief. If both results were the same, she would be a hundred percent sure that Helian Xiao was not the person from that year.

As she put her phone back into her bag, all of a sudden, the door to the washroom was pushed open and a man strode in.
