Chapter 86: Chapter 86: Are You Shy
"Mmm, the fever is gone. What would you like to eat?"
He Tingchen took his hand away from Fang Anning’s forehead, seeming to breathe a sigh of relief, then slowly asked her.
Fang Anning whispered, "I don’t want to eat, I have no appetite."
"Are you feeling unwell?" He Tingchen asked.
Fang Anning blushed, her eyes moist as she looked at him, wondering how he knew.
"You can’t take a bath, only a shower, I’ll carry you there." He Tingchen pulled back her blanket, about to carry her.
Fang Anning was terrified, hurriedly refusing, "No need, I can do it myself, you don’t need to carry me."
"Are you shy?" He Tingchen looked at her and asked.
Fang Anning thought to herself, obviously, you’re going to bathe me, how can I not be shy?
"No, not really, just feel like I can do it myself."
"There’s no need to be shy. I spent last night wiping you down to reduce fever. You belong to me, what haven’t I seen?" the man said in a low voice.
Fang Anning: "..."
That was when she was unconscious, how can it be the same as now?
"Anyway, I don’t want your help," Fang Anning stubbornly said.
He Tingchen took a deep breath, bent down, and forcefully carried her towards the bathroom.
Fang Anning was both anxious and angry, quickly hitting his chest and saying, "Let me go, I said I don’t need your help. If you keep doing this, I’ll get angry."
"Don’t move around, if you fall, it’s not my fault," the man threatened while holding her.
Fang Anning was infuriated, couldn’t help but retort, "How would I fall if you weren’t carrying me? The doctor said to keep me happy, not to be sad or angry. You’re really making me angry now."
"You can wash yourself, I’ll just be outside, call me if you need anything."
The man put her down in the bathroom without forcing her to be bathed, perhaps threatened by her words, quickly nodding.
She suddenly noticed that the bathroom had been carefully arranged.
There was a non-slip mat on the floor, very comfortable and not slippery at all.
Even the shower head had been changed, and some handles had been installed on the walls.
They were probably installed to provide something to grab in case of slipping.
"When were all these installed? I must have slept like a log!"
Fang Anning frowned as she looked around, wondering how deeply she must have slept this afternoon to not hear the noise of the installation.
It looked like holes had been drilled, could it be that she didn’t wake up even with the sound of the drill?
"Are you done?"
Fang Anning turned off the shower, was drying herself with a towel when He Tingchen suddenly knocked and asked.
"Not yet, I haven’t dressed yet," Fang Anning immediately replied.
Was he really waiting outside?
This really didn’t seem like something He Tingchen would do.
Fang Anning couldn’t help but look down at her flat belly, for the sake of the child inside, he was really going all out.
"I’m done."
After dressing, Fang Anning opened the bathroom door.
He Tingchen bent down again to carry her, carrying her back to the bed.
The bed had been changed with fresh sheets and looked both clean and warm.
Fang Anning said thank you: "Thank you!"
"No need to thank, just focus on nourishing the baby. Although I know you’re not hungry and have no appetite, I still suggest you eat something," He Tingchen said.
Fang Anning nodded.
She hadn’t felt hungry before the bath, but felt somewhat hungry after.
She asked Mrs. Chen to bring up some food, anything would do.
Mrs. Chen was delighted to hear this and immediately brought up the hearty dishes for her to have dinner.
"Sir, why don’t you go down and have something to eat as well?" Mrs. Chen suggested to He Tingchen.
He Tingchen nodded.
Fang Anning quickly said as she saw the food Mrs. Chen brought up, "This is quite a lot; I can’t finish it by myself. If you don’t mind, you can also eat here, save a trip down."
"Ma’am, these dishes suit the palate of a pregnant woman, the sir may not be used to them," Mrs. Chen hurriedly said.
"It’s okay, I’ll eat here too, let me go get another set of utensils," He Tingchen surprisingly agreed.
Mrs. Chen looked at him in surprise, then quickly nodded and ran down to get new utensils.
"By the way, have you found out who is behind Zhou Muyan?"
Fang Anning did not expect the man to actually agree to stay and eat, and dining so closely with him made her quite uneasy. To break the awkwardness, she hurriedly found another topic to ask.
The man said indifferently, "No, you don’t need to worry about this."
Fang Anning nodded.
"Eat more fish."
Suddenly, He Tingchen, with chopsticks in hand, picked up a piece of fish and placed it in her bowl, commanding quietly.
Fang Anning looked troubled and said sheepishly, "But I don’t really like fish."
She had choked on a fish bone as a child, and since then had disliked eating fish, always feeling it was dangerous, as if she could lose her life at any moment.
It clearly wasn’t worth losing one’s life over a bite of food.
"Eating fish is good for the baby," the man said quietly.
Fang Anning pulled a bittersweet smile and reluctantly began to eat the piece of fish slowly.
But after finishing it, she didn’t find any bones, and the fish was very tender and tasted great, completely different from the fish she had eaten before.
"What is this...never mind, it’s nothing."
Fang Anning originally wanted to ask what kind of fish it was, since it tasted so good and was boneless.
But she stopped herself mid-sentence.
For a wealthy person like He Tingchen, what fish couldn’t he get?
Asking would only embarrass herself.
"If you like it, eat more," He Tingchen picked up another piece and placed it in her bowl.
Fang Anning nodded.
Although she knew he was being kind to her for the sake of the child, she still felt very touched.
Regardless, being cared for felt really good.
"My body has recovered, I can continue my lessons tomorrow."
After dinner, Fang Anning remembered about her lessons and hurriedly mentioned it to He Tingchen.
He Tingchen pondered for a moment and said, "There’s no rush, rest for two more days."
"Really, there’s no need to rest anymore, I want to study more. Mr. Chen said, at this rate, I might be able to graduate with my classmates. If so, that would be great."
"Li Xiaoxiao will come to see you tomorrow, so have your class the day after," He Tingchen said.
"Ah, why is Xiaoxiao coming? Isn’t she very busy?" Fang Anning was surprised.
"How would I know, maybe she heard about your injury and wanted to visit you. So, class the day after."
"Alright!"
With Li Xiaoxiao coming, indeed it wasn’t good to have classes.
Fang Anning looked at He Tingchen suspiciously, wondering if he intentionally had Li Xiaoxiao come?
So, the next day when she saw Li Xiaoxiao, Fang Anning immediately asked, "Why did you suddenly come? Did you decide to come yourself, or did someone ask you to?"
Seeing the bandage on her arm, Li Xiaoxiao quickly asked with concern how she was.
Fang Anning shook her head, "I’m fine, but you haven’t answered my question yet."
"As soon as I heard about your injury, I wanted to come see you. Do I need someone else to remind me to do that?" Li Xiaoxiao responded.
Fang Anning furrowed her brows.
Could it be that she had misunderstood He Tingchen?
