Chapter 160: Chapter 146: Drawn by Her Baby’s Movements
Li Xiaoxiao felt a surge of joy in her heart and quickly said, "I want to say that Anning does like you. However, she is very upset because you’ve used her, and everything she is doing now is not what she truly wants. It is only because of her pride that she doesn’t want to lose face after losing her heart."
"So?" He Tingchen asked.
"So Mr. He, do you really like Anning? If you do, I can help you. Anning is my best sister, and I hope she can be happy and not regret it because of some misunderstandings."
He Tingchen did not speak, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.
Li Xiaoxiao waited for a while but did not get a response, unable to restrain herself, she said, "Since you don’t object, I’ll take it as you agreeing."
After saying this, she happily curled her lips, planning to go and talk to Fang Anning tomorrow.
But before she could go talk to Fang Anning tomorrow, Fang Anning came to find her first.
The reason was that early in the morning, Fang Anning saw the gossip about He Tingchen and Li Xiaoxiao.
The event involving He Tingchen at the banquet yesterday, unbeknownst to who, was captured and posted on entertainment headlines.
Because the buzz about He Tingchen and Cheng Wanbai’s affair hadn’t died down, now the heroic rescue and the scandal with Li Xiaoxiao inevitably stirred a huge uproar.
Everyone felt that He Tingchen and Cheng Wanbai were such a perfect match.
One was a popular actress, and the other was a billionaire; both were talented and good-looking, standing together like the most beautiful landscape painting.
So, many people rooted for them and even automatically ignored the fact that He Tingchen was already married.
But now, He Tingchen was involved in another scandal with Li Xiaoxiao.
Li Xiaoxiao was brought into the industry by Cheng Wanbai, and on top of that, Li Xiaoxiao was a newcomer, beautiful and young. So, many people speculated that Cheng Wanbai and Li Xiaoxiao were like the farmer and the snake.
Cheng Wanbai was so good to Li Xiaoxiao, yet Li Xiaoxiao bit back, turning around to hook up with He Tingchen.
Online, a barrage of scolding towards Li Xiaoxiao came crashing down, sending her trending number one on searches without dropping.
The company immediately dispatched someone to tightly protect her, not allowing her to go out or contact the outside world.
Actually, the company thought that although this was negative publicity, it was not too bad.
He Tingchen already had a wife, although they weren’t officially married, but he wasn’t legally married to Cheng Wanbai either.
Cheng Wanbai was just He Tingchen’s rumored girlfriend, so if she could do it, why couldn’t someone else?
The company planned to have Li Xiaoxiao not appear to clear it up publicly, letting everyone misunderstand, which could garner more resources for Li Xiaoxiao.
With the company handling it this way, Li Xiaoxiao also forgot about talking to Fang Anning.
Fang Anning was almost furious to death after seeing the report, angrily throwing a teacup to the floor.
Mrs. Chen hurried over upon hearing the noise and asked, "What happened?"
Fang Anning angrily slapped the table, stood up, and roared, "You still say He Tingchen is pitiful, now he’s cooked up a scandal that’s reached my sister’s head. This is too much, really too much! Is he trying to intimidate me? He knows how important Xiaoxiao is to me, yet he still causes a scandal with her?"
Mrs. Chen murmured under her breath, "Didn’t you also stir up something with Bai Yunyang last time just to anger Mr. He?"
"So you think what he’s doing is right?" Fang Anning asked in shock.
Mrs. Chen said, "Wife, please calm down, don’t let the anger affect your health. The most important thing for you right now is to protect the baby in your womb; everything else is secondary."
"What secondary matters? Call He Tingchen right now, I want to see him," Fang Anning said.
Mrs. Chen replied, "I won’t call, even if I did, Mr. He might not come back."
Fang Anning bit her lip in anger. Ever since the confrontation, Mrs. Chen’s attitude towards her had been getting worse.
Really, He Tingchen was clearly in the wrong, but everyone seemed blind and still thought she was the troublesome one?
Indeed, people’s hearts are biased, always leaning towards their own.
Since Mrs. Chen refused to make the call, Fang Anning made it herself.
But He Tingchen did not answer her calls at all.
She didn’t know if it was because after their last fight, He Tingchen had blocked her.
Unable to get in touch with He Tingchen, Fang Anning had Chen Rui prepare a car for her; she wanted to personally go to He Tingchen’s company to find him.
Mrs. Chen also wanted to go with her, but Fang Anning refused, saying, "Don’t follow me, don’t you think I’m not good and have issues? So from now on, you don’t need to follow me when I go out."
Mrs. Chen became anxious and quickly said, "But I need to take care of the wife’s safety."
"I will take care of my own safety; I don’t need you to manage," Fang Anning retorted angrily.
With tears welling up in her eyes, Mrs. Chen went to complain to Old Mr. He.
Fang Anning had Chen Rui drop her off at the entrance of He Tingchen’s company, and she went in holding her swollen belly.
However, she was stopped by the receptionist.
"Sorry, do you have an appointment?"
"No, but the child in my belly is He Tingchen’s child," Fang Anning said, holding her waist.
"Ah?" The receptionist was surprised and stared at her blankly.
Fang Anning slightly curled her lips, looking at her and said, "So, your Mr. He has a wife and children. Any rumors with female celebrities are just rumors, understand?"
"This... I’ll make a call to Mr. Wen to consult him," the receptionist quickly said sheepishly.
Soon, Wen Yi came down from upstairs, and he was also surprised to see her, hurriedly asking, "Madam, what brings you here?"
Fang Anning replied, "Of course, I’m here to see my dear husband, he’s upstairs! Take me to him, otherwise, I might start chatting with the reporters."
Upon hearing this, Wen Yi immediately waved for the female receptionist to come over and assist her, but Fang Anning refused.
"No need, I can go up by myself," Fang Anning said.
Wen Yi had no choice but to nervously watch her walk into the elevator with a big belly to go upstairs to find He Tingchen.
He Tingchen knew Fang Anning was coming.
Therefore, after Wen Yi brought her upstairs, he directly took her to He Tingchen’s office.
This was Fang Anning’s first visit here.
Staring at the grand luxurious office, Fang Anning was somewhat shocked.
But then she thought of the scandal between He Tingchen and Li Xiaoxiao, and she quickly put her shock aside.
The moment she entered, she angrily questioned He Tingchen, "What’s this scandal with Xiaoxiao about? Are you doing this on purpose? Are you trying to get back at me?"
"It was just an accident yesterday," He Tingchen said indifferently.
"An accident? Out of so many people, you ’accidentally’ got involved with Xiaoxiao, causing her to be verbally abused and insulted early in the morning. Saying she is the snake in the story of ’The Farmer and the Snake’, calling her a homewrecker who schemed her way up by first using Cheng Wanbai for her debut and then stealing Cheng Wanbai’s man, simply the epitome of a green tea bitch. Hah, hilarious. How did you become Cheng Wanbai’s man? Do you believe that I will immediately hold a press conference and tell everyone that I am the legally married wife, and that Cheng Wanbai is nothing but an ambitious mistress?"
"Legally married wife? We obtained a marriage certificate?" He Tingchen asked.
Fang Anning stared wide-eyed and questioned, "Are you saying we didn’t?"
Impossible, she remembered clearly; initially, she brought her ID along with He Tingchen to register their marriage.
It’s just that the marriage certificate was not given to her; the He family said they would keep it safe. This way, if they ever separated in the future, she would not refuse to divorce.
He Tingchen was silent.
His attitude made Fang Anning even angrier.
She immediately walked around the desk, lowered her head to look at him and asked, "Are you saying we didn’t even obtain a marriage certificate, and now I’m pregnant out of wedlock?"
"You want to divorce me anyway, does it make any difference whether we registered our marriage?" He Tingchen lifted his head to look at her.
However, he soon realized his posture was problematic; he had to tilt his head slightly to see her face.
And with her stomach being so large, his gaze inadvertently fell on her protruding belly, making him somewhat embarrassed.
He wanted to stand up to talk to her, but before he could stand up, a bulge suddenly appeared on Anning’s protruded belly.
He Tingchen was immediately drawn to this bulge, staring intently at it.
Soon, the bulge subsided, and then quickly bulged out in another spot.
Even stranger, two places bulged out simultaneously, very peculiar.
"Of course, there’s a difference. If we obtained a certificate, it means you and I are legally married, and any scandal you have would just remain a scandal. You need to clarify immediately that you have no relationship whatsoever with Li Xiaoxiao, otherwise I’ll hold a press conference accusing Cheng Wanbai of also being a vixen," Fang Anning angrily questioned.
But He Tingchen didn’t hear a word she said, his entire focus was on her belly.
When Fang Anning noticed his distraction and that he didn’t hear her, she couldn’t help but frown and ask, "What are you looking at?"
He Tingchen reached out and touched her belly.
The bulge immediately subsided, but then quickly nudged again as if greeting him.
"He’s moving inside," He Tingchen said.
Fang Anning felt embarrassed and immediately said, "I know, he’s in my belly, would I not know if he moved? But that’s not the point, did you hear what I just said?"
"Don’t shout, it’s not good for the baby," He Tingchen said.
Fang Anning: "..."
"Hey, He Tingchen, don’t play the tender father here to me now; I’m being serious. If you don’t help Xiaoxiao clear this up immediately, I might really call a press conference, making Cheng Wanbai’s situation difficult too."
"Don’t shout, you’ll scare him."
He Tingchen stood up, embraced Fang Anning, and their hands gently caressed the little one inside her belly together.
Indeed, doing so, the little one inside her belly stopped moving so vigorously, gradually calming down.
Fang Anning stared wide-eyed, and incredulously twisted her head to look at him.
He Tingchen held her, her head just resting against his shoulder, thus a twist of her head allowed her to see his handsome face.
For some reason, Fang Anning, despite being so angry just moments before, couldn’t help but calm down while staring at his face.
With the baby in her belly settled, He Tingchen curved his lips and said, "He’s calmed down."
"Cough, cough, did you hear what I said? I’m not joking around, I’m serious. If you don’t clarify this immediately, I can’t guarantee what I might do," Fang Anning said sternly with a cough while keeping a stern face.
