How I Became The Dev Chapter 116: Awakened from a Nightmare

Chapter 116: Chapter 116: Awakened from a Nightmare f??eewe??n??ve??

Fang Anning had a dream.

In the dream, there was an ugly witch who said her flesh could be used to make the most delicious soup, so she sent four little monsters to capture her.

She ran frantically, ending up in a forest.

Unexpectedly, this forest turned out to be the witch’s headquarters.

The witch had a daughter who, with a malicious grin, pounced towards her. She was terrified and let out a loud scream, jolting awake.

Because the witch’s daughter was none other than Bai Yunzhu.

"What’s wrong?"

Suddenly, a man’s deep voice inquired from within the room.

Fang Anning was stunned for a mont.

Before she could get a clear look at the man, she was embraced tightly by him and gently patted on the back for comfort.

"Did you have a nightmare? Don’t worry, I’m here, no one will hurt you."

"You... How are you here?" Fang Anning asked in surprise.

Hadn’t he gone abroad? How could he suddenly appear in the hospital room?

Could this be another dream?

She raised her hand and pinched her own face.

It hurt.

It seed that this was not a dream, but reality!

"I just got back, it was too late, and seeing you sleeping soundly, I didn’t wake you up, luckily I didn’t leave just now."

The man pushed her away and turned on the light in the room.

Fang Anning looked at her phone; it was five o’clock in the morning.

She had thought she hadn’t fallen asleep, yet she had actually slept for five hours.

"Did you rush back overnight? You must be exhausted!" Fang Anning asked, looking at He Tingchen.

She hadn’t seen him for just a few days, yet she found that she sowhat missed him.

Although his face was still a bit scary, it was no longer as terrifying as before.

"How did you know I’m exhausted?" He Tingchen asked.

Fang Anning smiled and reached out her hand to touch his chin, saying, "You’ve grown a beard."

He Tingchen was always a very ticulous person.

He was always clean-shaven, his hair perfectly grood, and his shirts without a single wrinkle.

But now he had so stubble, his hair was a bit ssy, and his shirt’s collar was wrinkled. It looked like he had indeed rushed back without rest throughout the night.

He Tingchen took hold of her hand, which was touching his chin, and said in a husky voice, "Knowing that sothing happened to you, I was very worried. Rest assured, I won’t go anywhere before you give birth."

"If you say that, I might misunderstand," Fang Anning said with a smile.

"Misunderstand what?" He Tingchen looked at her with deep-set eyes.

Fang Anning bit her lip and said, "Misunderstand that you might like

a little."

"If you want to misunderstand, then go ahead and misunderstand. But it’s still early; get so more sleep."

He Tingchen felt a noticeable discomfort due to her words. A trace of peculiar light flashed in his eyes as he supported her shoulders to lie down.

"Are you leaving?"

As soon as Fang Anning lay down, she grasped his wrist and asked.

A flicker passed through He Tingchen’s eyes, and he said in a low voice, "Not leaving, I’ll stay with you."

"Good, then I’ll sleep. With you by my side, I definitely won’t have nightmares. I was just scared to death by a nightmare about a witch grabbing ," Fang Anning said with a smile.

She held onto his hand tightly and wouldn’t let go, embracing his hand as she closed her eyes.

Upon hearing her words, He Tingchen couldn’t help but curve his lips slightly.

After she fell asleep with her eyes closed, he extended his other hand to gently stroke her scattered hair, gazing at her tenderly with his eyes.

However, after Fang Anning was sound asleep, he gently withdrew his hand, covered her with the quilt, and then stood up to leave.

Mrs. Chen was still on guard outside. Seeing him co out, she hurriedly greeted him, "Sir."

"Go in and watch over her. She’s having nightmares," He Tingchen said.

Mrs. Chen nodded.

He Tingchen added, "If she wakes up looking for , call ."

"Yes, sir."

Mrs. Chen entered stealthily and gently closed the door.

He Tingchen stood at the door for a mont before pulling out his phone to summon Wen Yi.

Once Wen Yi arrived, He Tingchen asked with a sullen face, "What exactly happened?"

Wen Yi answered, "Mrs. Liao and Miss Bai Yunzhu conspired to deceive the lady to leave the house and then sent her to the Won’s Virtue Academy to learn etiquette. However, Mrs. Liao instructed the people at the Academy to take good care of the lady since she’s pregnant; she must learn manners, but the child must not be hard. Yet, shortly after Mrs. Liao left, those at the Academy punished her physically, confining her in a gloomy training room, almost putting her in danger. It was Mr. Bai from the Bai Group who rushed to the Won’s Virtue Academy and rescued the lady, bringing her to the hospital in ti to save her."

"Bai Yunyang?" He Tingchen’s brows furrowed slightly.

Wen Yi replied, "Yes, but I have yet to investigate why Mr. Bai would do such a thing."

"My aunt is not foolish; she just wanted to discipline Anning, and wouldn’t want the child in her womb to be hard. Therefore, those who punished Anning must have been instructed by soone else. I couldn’t figure out who it was before, but now I know," He Tingchen said.

"Do we need to et with Mr. Bai?" Wen Yi asked.

"No need; Anning didn’t complain to , which ans Bai Yunyang made so deal with her. We can ignore him for now. As for that Won’s Virtue Academy, I no longer want such an institution to exist," He Tingchen said coldly.

Wen Yi remarked, "The head of the Won’s Virtue Academy, Mr. Li, is the son-in-law of the Hu family."

"The textile Hu family?" He Tingchen frowned.

Wen Yi nodded: "Yes, he’s a son-in-law who joined the Hu family. The patriarch of the Hu family has so connections with our old man, so it’s not easy to outright sever ties."

"Surely it’s not easy to sever ties; I rember when I was young, Hu Yue used to play with . I didn’t expect she would end up marrying such a man," He Tingchen scoffed.

Wen Yi continued, "Relying on the Hu family, this Li Ziwei does quite well in business. The Won’s Virtue Academy is just one of his many ventures. I’ve heard he also wants to get involved with the project with Honghui. It’s just that Bai Yunyang has been refusing, which is why he hasn’t had the chance to be part of it."

"What about his morals?" He Tingchen asked.

Wen Yi replied with a laugh, "Such a person is like a jackal – arrogant when proud. Although he’s the Hu family’s son-in-law, once he made a na for himself, naturally he wouldn’t content himself with just sticking to the Hu family daughter. You may not know, but the daughter of the Hu family is really a treasure, with a height of one ter sixty and a weight of two hundred pounds, how could Li Ziwei not flirt around outside. In fact, Hu Yue knows it too, but with her own appearance and having already born a son, as long as he doesn’t have illegitimate children outside, she does not care what else he does. Hence, this makes Li Ziwei even more audacious, unafraid to indulge in anything, without any concerns."

"Since it’s not good to break with the Hu family openly, let Hu Yue clean up her own house," He Tingchen snorted coldly.

Wen Yi looked at him in surprise, not comprehending.

He Tingchen was silent for a mont, then said, "Arrange a eting with Bai Yunyang for , I want to see him."

Wen Yi nodded, imdiately setting out to handle the matter.
