Chapter 165: Chapter 151: Wanting to Be a Better Person

Fang Anning had someone bring He Zirui over to play early in the morning.

The servant following He Zirui was scared to death, and upon seeing Fang Anning, they pleaded non-stop: "wife, please spare the little master, he’s still young and doesn’t understand things. If he has done something wrong, please forgive him."

"I just called him over to play, why are you so nervous?" Fang Anning said.

She smiled and beckoned to He Zirui, asking him to come to her side.

"What kind of books do you usually read?"

"I just read whatever. Grandpa Great doesn’t let me read too long, he’s afraid it will wear me out."

Fang Anning said, "I have many interesting books here, you can take any of them to read."

She took He Zirui to the study that He Tingchen had prepared for her, where one whole wall of the room was bookshelves, filled with all sorts of books.

In fact, she should have known long ago that He Tingchen held her in his heart.

Otherwise, who would go to such lengths to prepare all this for her.

"But that person won’t allow me to read them, I also need to leave soon. That person will definitely be unhappy if they knew." He Zirui said.

"No, he won’t be unhappy, and in the future, he will let you go out and meet people. You can go wherever you want. No one will stop you, nor will they control you anymore." Fang Anning said.

While they were talking, He Tingchen came over.

He Zirui indeed got startled when he saw him, quickly hiding behind Fang Anning.

Actually, He Tingchen hardly ever spoke more than ten sentences to him, let alone scold or beat him, but he just feared He Tingchen.

He found his face terrifying.

He had seen the photos of his father that Grandpa Great showed him, pictures of him from childhood to adulthood.

His father looked very much like He Tingchen, almost identical, even their names were the same.

Yet, looking at the photo, he felt warmth, but looking at the man himself, he felt horror.

He’s still too young now, he doesn’t understand.

The reason he felt scared was that he saw disdain in He Tingchen’s eyes, intense disdain. Disdain for him, and also self-loathing.

But he’s too young now to understand the meaning of this.

"I know you’ve always wanted to go out, today Auntie will take you out to play." He Tingchen said in an even tone.

He Zirui peeked out from behind Fang Anning and asked with confusion, "Why have your eyes changed?"

"Changed? How have they changed?" He Tingchen asked.

He Zirui shook his head, "Don’t know, but you’re not as scary anymore. You’re like my dad now, but still not as gentle as he was."

"Of course, I’m different from him, I am not the same person as he is," He Tingchen quickly replied.

He Zirui pouted, it seemed like he had reverted back again.

However, He Tingchen suddenly agreeing to let him go out and play made him very happy.

Actually, since he got a bit older and understood things, he wanted to see the outside world.

But He Tingchen didn’t allow it, even Old Mr. He had argued with him over this matter, but he didn’t win.

Now that he suddenly proposed to let him go out, He Zirui naturally was overjoyed.

He immediately said to Fang Anning, "Auntie, I’m going to tell Grandpa Great."

"Okay, go tell him! But you can also call me Auntie," she said.

"I’ll call you Auntie, Auntie sounds nice," He Zirui said with a smile.

He happily bounced and hopped off to tell Old Mr. He, which scared the following female servant to death. She kept calling from behind him, telling him not to run, to take care of his body.

His body was still very weak. He seemed lively and bouncing only because he was well cared for.

In reality, he was very fragile, a slight mishap could cost him half his life.

Fang Anning walked up to He Tingchen, leaned on his shoulder, and said, "Look how happy he is, actually, forgiving someone isn’t that difficult either."

He Tingchen explained, "I don’t hate him."

"But you don’t like him, either. You hate his father, and thus you dislike him by association," Fang Anning said.

He Tingchen lowered his head and gave a bitter laugh, hugging her waist and saying, "Actually, I used to hate everyone, found everyone annoying. But now it’s different, as long as you’re by my side, I can be more like a human."

"Of course, I won’t just make you like a human, I’ll also make you a normal one," Fang Anning confidently stated.

He Tingchen asked with a laugh, "You’re so confident?"

Fang Anning wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him on the corner of his mouth, saying, "Of course, don’t believe me? Want to try?"

He Tingchen’s ears turned a little red, he coughed lightly, pushing her away and saying, "Just talk, no need to be touchy-feely."

"What, we’re husband and wife, I’m carrying your child, how could it happen without being touchy-feely? Are you shy now?" Fang Anning teased boldly.

He Tingchen’s face turned even redder, he coughed again and quickly pushed her away gently, turning around to leave with a flush on his cheeks.

Fang Anning couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

She discovered something amusing; He Tingchen, who looked intimidating and disillusioned with the world, was actually a pure and innocent virgin at heart.

Eh, not a virgin though, otherwise where would the child in her belly come from?

But anyway, very pure-hearted, blushing at just the slightest tease.

Old Mr. He was delighted to learn that He Tingchen had finally agreed to let He Zirui come into public view.

After all, he was getting on in years, and no matter how much he wanted to protect He Zirui, there were limits.

Regardless, the He family would belong to He Tingchen in the future, and whether He Zirui fared well depended entirely on He Tingchen, not him.

Now that He Tingchen was finally softening his stance toward him, he naturally was the happiest and immediately agreed to let He Zirui go out.

"Mrs. Chen, why did Mr. He change his mind?" Old Mr. He asked Mrs. Chen after He Zirui left.

Mrs. Chen hurriedly said, "It must be the wife’s credit. The wife and Mr. He have reconciled, and she also knows about Mr. He’s affairs. Perhaps, it’s because his emotional knots have been untied?"

"Did Tingchen take the initiative to tell her?" Old Mr. He asked in surprise.

Mrs. Chen nodded.

Old Mr. He happily said, "That’s great, I’ve always hoped someone could enter Tingchen’s heart and untie his knots, and now that person has appeared. That’s wonderful. From now on, you should take good care of Fang Anning, it seems she really is different."

"Okay, I will remember that," Mrs. Chen said with a smile.

"Right, when I have time, I also need to call He Min, to tell her not to pick on Fang Anning anymore. She is officially going to be our granddaughter-in-law in the future, and no one can bully her anymore," Old Mr. He added.

Mrs. Chen nodded, "I should indeed call Mrs. Liao, she’s been single-minded in trying to separate the wife and Mr. He."

"After Anning gives birth, we’ll hold a grand wedding for them. Once the wedding takes place, those who harbor inappropriate thoughts will also completely give up," Old Mr. He said slowly.

He waved his hand to dismiss Mrs. Chen and began to ponder the matter alone.

After He Zirui left, he immediately went to find Fang Anning and asked her to take him out.

Fang Anning touched his head and asked, "Where do you want to go?"

"To the amusement park, I’ve never been there, just seen it in books and on TV," He Zirui quickly said.

Fang Anning thought for a moment, "Your health isn’t very good right now, it’s not suitable to go to the amusement park. It would be troublesome if you got tired. Be good, I will take you to the mall today, we’ll go shopping, there will be lots of delicious food, and it’s also fun. Just hang in there for another two months, and once I give birth to the baby, you can recover."

He Zirui obediently nodded in agreement.

However, he quickly added, "Even when you give birth to the baby, it’s not certain that I will recover, it’s just a possibility, not a certainty."

Fang Anning, unexpectedly aware of his knowledge, hurriedly said with concern, "I’ve always been lucky, so you will definitely be alright."

"Okay," He Zirui nodded happily again.

Fang Anning had everything prepared, then, accompanied by Mrs. Chen and bodyguards, along with He Zirui’s servants, they went out together.

Of course, He Tingchen didn’t join them.

Firstly, He Tingchen had many things to do, he was busy and didn’t have the time to always be with them.

Secondly, although He Zirui was not as afraid of He Tingchen anymore, he still was to some extent.

So, seeing him would make him nervous, and if He Tingchen followed, he would feel uncomfortable.

They arrived at Yun City’s largest mall, and seeing the real shopping mall before his eyes, He Zirui’s eyes lit up with joy.

"This place is really nice," He Zirui said.

Fang Anning said, "If you think it’s nice, let’s walk around, but don’t get too tired. I’ve heard from Ah Yun that you can’t overdo it. After we shop a bit, I’ll take you to have something delicious."

He Zirui immediately nodded happily.

He happily strolled with Fang Anning, and when they got tired, they found a nice place to eat.

After resting and eating, they continued their outing.

However, unexpectedly, as they passed a clothing store, a person who walked out from the inside almost bumped into them.

The woman who almost collided with He Zirui was immediately reprimanded by her companion.

Fang Anning’s bodyguards were not to be trifled with and stood forward with a cold expression.

The woman told her bodyguards to be quiet and removed her sunglasses, then smiled at Fang Anning, "Miss Fang, what a coincidence, are you shopping too?"

"Miss Cheng?" Fang Anning raised her eyebrows, it was Cheng Wanbai.

Cheng Wanbai said with a smile, "I was just passing by, I didn’t expect to encounter Miss Fang here."

Then, her gaze shifted downwards to He Zirui who was standing by Fang Anning’s side.

Upon seeing He Zirui, she immediately furrowed her brows, revealing a look of surprise.

He Zirui also looked at her and quickly said, "I recognize her."

Cheng Wanbai showed a forced smile and awkwardly said, "Young master, I didn’t expect that after so many years you would still remember me."

"I didn’t remember at first, but after seeing you often appear on TV, I recognized you," He Zirui said.

Cheng Wanbai’s expression stiffened.

Then she seemed to recall something and quickly looked up at Fang Anning, asking, "Why did Miss Fang bring him out? Does Mr. He know about this?"

"Of course, he knows. Otherwise, I wouldn’t dare bring him out," Fang Anning said.

Cheng Wanbai slightly furrowed her brow, looking at Fang Anning and asking, "Are Miss Fang and Mr. He reconciled?"

"You can tell that just by looking, Miss Cheng has sharp eyes," Fang Anning said with a smile.

Cheng Wanbai tried to pull her lips into a smile.

But she was too upset inside, and that smile just wouldn’t come out.
