How I Became The Devil's Last and Only Love
Chapter 120: Can I Refuse?

Chapter 120: Chapter 120: Can I Refuse?

He Tingchen handed his clothes to Mrs. Chen and went to wash his hands. After washing, he came back to rub Fang Anning’s stomach.

But after rubbing for a while, he still couldn’t feel the fetal movement she mentioned.

Fang Anning smiled and said, "The doctor already said, the baby is still small now, you can’t feel it. Wait until it grows a bit more, then you will be able to feel it."

"If there’s anything you want to eat, don’t hesitate to tell Mrs. Chen," said He Tingchen.

Fang Anning nodded.

The two had dinner together.

After dinner, Fang Anning said she wanted to take a walk outside and asked He Tingchen to accompany her.

Actually, she would take a walk outside every evening after dinner, but she had never asked He Tingchen to join her.

Jokingly, she was afraid of him, so how could she dare to ask him to accompany her?

But today she took the initiative to ask him to walk with her.

Not only Mrs. Chen but even He Tingchen himself showed a surprised expression.

Fang Anning quickly added, "The doctor said that the mom and dad need to spend more time together, which will make the fetus feel secure."

Indeed, once he heard it was good for the child, He Tingchen nodded in agreement.

Fang Anning couldn’t help but sigh in her heart that he really loves this child.

Actually, this was not bad; in the future, when she leaves the child with him, she would feel more at ease.

"Do you have any plans for the next few days?"

While walking, Fang Anning casually asked.

He Tingchen asked, "What plans do you want to have?"

Fang Anning smiled and said, "I don’t have any particular plans in mind, just curious if there are any dinner parties, like birthday banquets or something."

"Wen Yi contacted you?" He Tingchen guessed.

Fang Anning smiled sheepishly and nodded, "Yeah, he mentioned it to me while giving me egg tarts, asking for my help to persuade you."

"What did you say?" He Tingchen asked.

Fang Anning said, "Logically, I naturally didn’t want to persuade you. If it wasn’t for Mrs. Liao sending me to that Women’s Virtue Academy, I wouldn’t have suffered so much and almost had a miscarriage. But emotionally, she is after all your aunt. If you and her become estranged because of me, I would feel very guilty."

"You would feel guilty?" He Tingchen looked at her with intense eyes.

Fang Anning nodded and pitifully held his hand, placing it on her chest and said, "Don’t you believe me?"

He Tingchen’s eyes flickered with a trace of panic as he withdrew his hand, saying, "I believe, but the selection of the gift is up to you."

"Ah, why me?" Fang Anning was surprised.

Initially, she was happy to persuade He Tingchen, making Old Mr. He owe her a favor.

But then, hearing that He Tingchen actually asked her to choose the gift, she froze on the spot!

"What, you don’t want to? Weren’t you saying you’d feel guilty if my aunt and I didn’t get along? If you choose the gift and I send it, this way you’re also helping us reconcile a big issue. You won’t feel guilty then," He Tingchen said.

Fang Anning pouted, asking with grievance, "Can I refuse?"

She just wanted to be a peace-maker, not the thankless errand runner.

She could imagine with her toes that if Mrs. Liao knew the gift was chosen by her, how much disdain she would show.

"No, I’m entrusting this task to you. If you don’t handle it well, I’ll have to punish you." He Tingchen tapped her brow.

Fang Anning quickly asked, "What punishment? Skipping meals or sleeping on the sofa?"

If it was just that kind of punishment, she’d rather be punished than take on the task.

"Being prohibited from participating in the final exams and not getting your graduation certificate," He Tingchen replied.

Fang Anning: "..."

"You can’t do this, it’s breaking the rules."

"Yes, so what if it’s breaking the rules? The initiative is in my hands, so you need to listen to me," He Tingchen asserted dominantly.

Fang Anning bit her lip.

She seriously suspected that everything she said to Wen Yi today had been overheard by He Tingchen.

Thus, he deliberately came up with this idea to deal with her.

"Then tell me what Mrs. Liao likes, what kind of gift should I pick?" Fang Anning asked feeling wronged.

He Tingchen said, "If you want to know, you can ask her yourself, I won’t provide any information to you, you have to take full responsibility."

"Tsk, stingy," Fang Anning scoffed disdainfully.

But the man being called stingy just curled his lips up slightly, holding her hand as they continued to walk slowly forward.

Fang Anning was nearly worried to death.

She was responsible for selecting a gift, yet he refused to tell her He Min’s preferences - did he expect her to ask He Min herself?

Ha, he sure had a pretty fantasy.

Did he think if she personally asked He Min, He Min would be moved and their icy relationship would thaw?

She thought, He Min would surely mock and ridicule her fiercely.

Indeed, without any leads by the next day, she could only call He Min.

Upon hearing that she was planning to buy her a gift, He Min immediately frowned and said with a cold huff, "What, are you trying to curry favor with me this way, to make me accept you?"

"Mrs. Liao, whether you accept me or not, I’m already married to He Tingchen and am carrying his child. If you don’t accept me, the result will be that you and your nephew become strangers to each other. For the sake of just one person like me, is it worth it to ruin the relationship you and your nephew have built over so many years?" Fang Anning tried to persuade her.

He Min retorted with a cold snort, "Even so, I won’t let you off easily. If you can’t get a gift that I fancy, you will certainly be scorned by Tingchen for incompetence. Damaging the enemy a thousand and yourself eight hundred, that trick isn’t solely yours to use."

"What do you mean? Do you think the near miscarriage I had before was intentional?" Fang Anning asked.

No wonder He Min detested her even more, thinking that her previous near miscarriage was intentional, a deliberate scheme to trap her.

"Isn’t it?" He Min said coldly: "You’re truly a curse, not only causing disharmony between Tingchen and me but also forcing Tingchen to take action against the Women’s Virtue Academy’s owner. Do you realize how long Li Ziwei has been entrenched in Yun City? Just because of you, he was cast out penniless, forced to flee Yun City like a dog who has lost his home."

"I didn’t know, I didn’t intentionally frame you, and this matter with Li Ziwei is even more irrelevant to me. You refuse to tell me, fine, I’ll just do my best in preparation. Even if you don’t like it, there’s nothing I can do. In any case, like it or not, you have to accept it, though, of course, you can also continue to be angry with He Tingchen. I don’t think he would mind."

Fang Anning hung up the phone after speaking.

Before long, Liao Hanfeng called her.

Fang Anning took a deep breath and picked up the phone, "If you’re calling to apologize on behalf of your mother, you need not bother. I really don’t understand—did I desecrate your Liao family’s ancestral tomb in my past life? Your mom hates me so much."

Liao Hanfeng laughed, "If you had desecrated our family’s tomb, my mom definitely wouldn’t hate you as much. She’s worried you might disrupt the He family’s feng shui."

"I’m about to give birth to an heir for the He family, how could I possibly disrupt its feng shui," Fang Anning countered.

"Alright, no more joking. My mom likes jewelry. If you really can’t come up with a good gift, just prepare a nice set of jewelry; that should never go wrong," Liao Hanfeng reminded her.
