How I Became The Devil's Last and Only Love
Chapter 98: I Want to Be Mrs. He

Chapter 98: Chapter 98: I Want to Be Mrs. He

Fang Anning was amused to laughter by Qi Wenli.

She couldn’t help but sarcastically say, "Miss Fang is truly laughable. If you want to become Mrs. He, you can go tell He Tingchen directly. What’s the use of telling me? I’m not going to give up Mrs. He’s position to you, and even if I wanted to, it wouldn’t matter if He Tingchen doesn’t accept you."

"I naturally understand that. I’m telling you just to let you know and so you could prepare yourself mentally," said Qi Wenli.

Fang Anning nodded: "I understand; I’ll prepare myself mentally."

"You’re not angry?" asked Qi Wenli.

Fang Anning said with a smile, "He Tingchen has money and looks, and his physique is beyond compare. Although his temper is a bit odd, which wealthy man nowadays doesn’t have peculiar temperaments? So, I completely understand why Miss Qi would want to go back to her old ways. The number of women who wants to marry He Tingchen is vast. If I were to get angry with each one, wouldn’t I be infuriated to death? Therefore, I’m not angry. On the contrary, I take pride in it; to have such an outstanding man as my husband, shouldn’t I be proud?"

"I didn’t expect you to be this kind of person. It seems becoming Mrs. He again won’t be an easy task," said Qi Wenli.

"Not just difficult; it’s completely impossible," a deep voice suddenly interjected.

Soon, He Tingchen walked over and came to Fang Anning’s side.

Fang Anning’s eyes brightened, and she immediately stood up and smiled at him, "You’re here."

He Tingchen nodded.

Qi Wenli’s face turned pale, and she stood up to ask, "Did you hear our conversation just now?"

After speaking, she coldly glanced at Fang Anning.

The righteous sentiments she had just expressed, she probably did it deliberately for He Tingchen to hear as he came over.

This woman was not only smart but also quite scheming.

"This is the first and last time. If you dare to bother her again, don’t blame me for being rude," He Tingchen warned coldly.

Qi Wenli forced a smile, "Do you really never had even a little bit of affection for me? After all, I am your first wife."

Fang Anning listened and couldn’t help but shake her head internally and mock Qi Wenli.

Sister, wake up.

If he had even the slightest fondness for you, he wouldn’t have agreed to your fake death, watching you fly away with someone else.

What’s the point of asking such a stupid question again?

"No."

Sure enough, He Tingchen replied without hesitation.

Fang Anning didn’t even want to look at her anymore.

Did she think He Tingchen was some kind of saint, that he would soften his heart because of her few words and say something to make her happy?

"I don’t believe it," Qi Wenli said. "You can’t possibly not care for me. In the past, you took on the accusation of being a wife-cursing husband just to please me. If you didn’t care for me, you wouldn’t have done so much."

Fang Anning looked up at Qi Wenli in horror; could this sister be insane?

Indeed, He Tingchen frowned, probably sharing the same thought as her.

"Let’s go," He Tingchen said, taking Fang Anning’s hand to leave.

How could he possibly argue with a madwoman?

"Don’t go; you haven’t answered my question yet," Qi Wenli tried to stop them.

Sadly, her idea was even more foolish.

He Tingchen always went out with a bodyguard; the moment she moved, the bodyguard stepped forward to stop her.

Fang Anning, led by the hand out the door by He Tingchen, looked back after stepping outside and saw Qi Wenli being stopped by the bodyguard, crying and stamping her feet, entirely bereft of her previous grace and elegance.

"She must be saying there’s something wrong with this place, right?"

After getting into the car, Fang Anning asked He Tingchen.

He Tingchen glanced at her and said coldly, "Knowing that, you still dared to sit down and chat with her. I think you must be sick too."

Fang Anning quickly defended herself, "How was I supposed to know she was like that, she looked so proper, how could she be insane?"

"Deceived by a man to fake her own death and leave home, too scared to return for ten years. Eight months pregnant, she was heartlessly abandoned by the man, and her prematurely born child died young. It’s normal for her to go crazy," He Tingchen explained coldly.

Fang Anning was shocked, not expecting the older sister’s ordeal to be even more tragic than what she had shared.

However...

"How did you know?" Fang Anning asked.

Even knowing the details of her premature birth, could it be that he had people watching her all along?

"Why do you think she didn’t dare to go home for ten years? And how did I manage to bring her to the Qi family in time?" He Tingchen retorted with questions of his own.

Fang Anning said in horror, "So, you really had people monitoring her? Why?"

She almost suspected that He Tingchen really liked her, like Qi Wenli had said, which is why he kept people watching her, always knowing about her whereabouts.

But seeing He Tingchen’s cold gaze, she felt that the idea was too absurd.

How could that be possible?

If he really liked her, he wouldn’t have let her leave in the first place, nor would he engage in such foolishly devoted acts.

Sure enough, He Tingchen said coldly, "Because I don’t trust her. Indeed, after she was abandoned, she tried several times to come back. If I hadn’t had people watching, she would have probably run back long ago."

Fang Anning felt awkward.

So Qi Wenli’s difficult life outside was not entirely because she was ashamed to return, but rather because she couldn’t at all?

By that logic, she really should be thankful to He Tingchen.

If it weren’t for this incident, with He Tingchen allowing her to return to the Qi family, she might never have been able to return in her lifetime.

"Do you think I’m being too harsh?" He Tingchen asked, looking at Fang Anning’s expression.

Fang Anning immediately shook her head, "No, you’re not excessive. A promise worth a thousand in gold, she made a pact with you, and naturally, she has to keep that promise."

After finishing, she pursed her lips and showed a wry smile, leaned lightly on his shoulder, looked up at him, and asked, "Since the first one faked her death, did the later ones also fake their death? If Liao Hanfeng hadn’t saved me in time last time, would I really not end up being thrown into the sea?"

"Do you want to give it a try?" He Tingchen asked.

Fang Anning quickly shook her head, "I don’t want to try, I just want to know."

"Do you know one thing? People who know too much te nd to die sooner," He Tingchen made a throat-slitting gesture.

Fang Anning was so frightened that she immediately nodded, covered her mouth, and said, "Okay, I understand, I promise not to ask anymore."

"Good," He Tingchen said, rewarding her by patting her head.

Fang Anning forced a smile, biting her lip.

However, she didn’t want to be obedient; how could she not desire to explore further after learning only half the truth?

If, as she suspected, He Tingchen’s previous wives had not died, this would indicate... He Tingchen is not really a cruel person.

If one day she wanted to leave, he would probably not trouble her.

For the sake of her future safety, she also had to clarify this matter.
