How I Became The Dev Chapter 124: The Atmosphere Is a Bit Ambiguous

Chapter 124: Chapter 124: The Atmosphere Is a Bit Ambiguous

Fang Anning eventually decided to attend He Min’s birthday party with He Tingchen.

She wanted to resist, but He Tingchen threatened her, saying, "If you don’t obey, I’ll punish you."

Fang Anning’s face turned red, and she didn’t dare to et his gaze, imdiately nodding vigorously and agreeing to his demand.

He Tingchen slightly curled his lips, revealing a faint smile.

"Cousin, you’re here."

As He Tingchen arrived with Fang Anning, Liao Hanfeng imdiately ca over with a smile.

Accompanying Liao Hanfeng was Li Xiaoxiao.

Li Xiaoxiao, now a rising starlet promoted by Huayu and managed by Liao Hanfeng, clearly has a bright future ahead.

Thus, it was only natural for her to be able to attend the boss’s wife’s birthday party.

"Anning."

Li Xiaoxiao was also very happy to see Fang Anning and hurriedly greeted her.

Fang Anning tugged hard, trying to pull her arm out of He Tingchen’s grip.

But He Tingchen held on tightly, making it impossible for her to pull away.

Fang Anning had no choice but to give up and said to Li Xiaoxiao, "I’ve been seeing your reports these past few days, and it seems like you even made the trending searches once. You’re now a popular celebrity."

Liao Hanfeng proudly said, "Of course, you should see who is ntoring her."

"That’s probably the only reliable thing you’ve done." He Tingchen comnted.

Liao Hanfeng imdiately furrowed his brows, discontentedly saying, "Cousin, don’t tear

down in front of Xiaoxiao, will you?"

He Tingchen slightly curled his lips again.

Liao Hanfeng widened his eyes, pointing at him and said, "Cousin, did you just smile? My goodness, what a rare sight. I can’t believe I saw you smile."

"Does Mr. He never smile?" Li Xiaoxiao curiously asked.

Liao Hanfeng imdiately responded, "Of course, my cousin is as stern as King Yan. How could he possibly smile? I’ve never seen it."

"Shut up, otherwise be careful or I’ll send you to mine in India." He Tingchen threatened.

Upon hearing this, Liao Hanfeng got scared and imdiately clamped his mouth shut, covering it with his hand.

He Min and Mr. Liao were chatting with guests afar.

He Min’s face lit up when she saw He Tingchen; he had finally co to see her.

But her face fell again when she saw Fang Anning beside him, clearly not pleased.

Mr. Liao noticed her expression change and softly advised her, "Since he ca, it ans he wants to reconcile. Why keep up the pretense? It’s just a woman, she won’t be by his side for long, and you’re competing with her."

"Don’t speak so nicely, you don’t understand how I feel." He Min said angrily.

Mr. Liao smiled and said, "How can I not understand? You’ve always treated Tingchen even better than Fengfeng. It’s well known mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law seldom get along. You just don’t like that girl, do you?"

"So, he brought her here on purpose, to aggravate ?" He Min said.

"What do you want to do then? Turn them away? If you do that, you’ll never be able to nd your relationship with Tingchen," Mr. Liao said.

He Min took a deep breath and walked toward He Tingchen and Fang Anning.

Liao Hanfeng saw her coming and imdiately said with a smile, "Mom, cousin is here."

He Min glanced at him, completely ignored him, and went straight to He Tingchen and Fang Anning.

Li Xiaoxiao conscientiously took a step back.

Although she was a newcor pushed by Huayu, He Min didn’t like her, so she conscientiously marginalized herself, trying not to appear in front of He Min.

"Aunt, this is the gift Anning and I selected for you, we hope you like it."

He Tingchen had Fang Anning bring out the set of pearl jewelry they chose to give to He Min.

Fang Anning unwillingly handed it over for He Min to see.

He Min smiled and said, "I really like it, Tingchen knows my taste well."

He Tingchen said, "I’m glad you like it, but I didn’t choose it; Anning did."

He Min: "..."

Her face stiffened, she looked at him annoyed and then fiercely glared at Fang Anning.

Fang Anning was speechless; Mrs. Liao was really sothing. It was He Tingchen who was deliberately provoking her, what did it have to do with her?

It was simply malicious misplacent of anger.

"Tingchen is here, co, Mr. Wang has been saying he wants to et you, go with your uncle to greet Mr. Wang," Mr. Liao ca over and said with a smile.

He Tingchen nodded slightly, acknowledging his greeting.

Mr. Liao then gave He Min a knowing look.

He Min nodded understandingly and smiled at He Tingchen, "Tingchen, go and say hello to your aunt and uncle."

After finishing her sentence, she sternly looked at Fang Anning and said, "You shouldn’t go there, the sll of alcohol is strong over there, and it’s not good for pregnant won."

Fang Anning imdiately smiled and nodded, "Okay, thank you for your concern, Mrs. Liao."

He Tingchen slightly furrowed his brows, about to say sothing, but Fang Anning quickly told him, "I’ll stay with Xiaoxiao."

He Tingchen then swallowed back his words and nodded slightly in agreent.

He Min led He Tingchen away.

After walking a distance, He Min glanced back at Fang Anning, her eyes filled with triumph.

Fang Anning shook her head. This He Min really, if it wasn’t for her age here, and also being He Tingchen’s maternal aunt, she would really think that she had so other intentions towards He Tingchen.

This must be a son complex!

But shouldn’t her possessiveness be directed at Liao Hanfeng?

Fang Anning looked at Liao Hanfeng, who was watching Li Xiaoxiao with a flattering smile, almost drooling.

Fang Anning shook her head again.

If she had such a useless son, she probably wouldn’t have any sense of possessiveness.

"Liao Hanfeng, lend Xiaoxiao to

for a while, I will give her back to you later," said Fang Anning as she took Li Xiaoxiao’s hand and walked away.

"Where are you going? I can co too," said Liao Hanfeng.

Fang Anning replied, "We’re going to talk about so private girl stuff, do you want to listen in?"

"No need," Liao Hanfeng imdiately shook his head.

Fang Anning smirked and found a quiet place to sit down with Li Xiaoxiao.

Since the birthday party had not officially started and they had arrived early, there were not many people there yet.

After sitting down with Li Xiaoxiao, Fang Anning hurriedly asked her, "I saw news the other day about you and the director of the new drama..."

"All those are just gossips and rumors, not true," Li Xiaoxiao quickly replied.

Fang Anning said, "Xiaoxiao, actually, I feel that since you entered the entertainnt circle, you have matured a lot. Although we’re not biological sisters, we grew up together, and you are like my own sister. Originally, I planned that once I had a child with He Tingchen and got the money, I would take you abroad to study again. That would be better than entering the entertainnt industry. This place is like a big dyeing vat, full of ss. But since you like it, and you like Liao Hanfeng, I can’t stop you. But I still hope that you won’t forget your original intention. You wanted to enter the entertainnt industry because you love acting, don’t let other things tarnish your dream."

Li Xiaoxiao felt moved and quickly said, "Anning, don’t worry, I know what I should and shouldn’t do. Besides, with Liao Hanfeng around, you don’t have to worry about

being bullied. He likes

a lot now and won’t let others bully . Don’t take those gossip news seriously; they are just for publicity. Unless I tell you myself, it’s not true."

"Okay, I know," nodded Fang Anning.

Li Xiaoxiao leaned closer and asked with a smile, "How have you been lately? I feel like there’s sothing off between you and Mr. He?"

"Off? What’s off?" Fang Anning defensively blushed.

Li Xiaoxiao grinned and said, "See, you’re blushing now, still saying nothing’s off. I feel there’s so ambiguity between you two. Anning, tell

the truth, do you like him now?"

"Heh, like him? How is that possible," Fang Anning imdiately denied.

Li Xiaoxiao said, "Alright, if you won’t admit it, never mind. But I’m telling you, a man like He Tingchen is very sought-after. It doesn’t matter that you haven’t even had a wedding with him and few people know about you; even if you had a grand wedding and everyone knew, it still couldn’t stop other won from coveting him."

Saying so, Li Xiaoxiao gestured towards where He Tingchen was.

Fang Anning looked over and saw a familiar yet flamboyantly dressed woman, holding a wine glass and walking towards He Tingchen.

However, clearly He Tingchen and He Min disapproved of her, and the woman walked away awkwardly with her wine glass after a brief exchange.

"That’s also an artist from Huayu, it’s the boss’s wife’s birthday today, so more artists are attending. These won, they eye those rich bosses like wolves eyeing at, especially soone like He Tingchen, a rare gem and also the boss’s wife’s nephew, naturally even more sought-after," Li Xiaoxiao explained.

"What about Liao Hanfeng then? He’s the boss’s son," Fang Anning said with a laugh.

Li Xiaoxiao proudly said, "Who in Huayu doesn’t know Liao Hanfeng is mine, who would dare covet him in my presence?"

"Wow, our Xiaoxiao is getting more and more impressive," Fang Anning teased.

"Anning, is it really you?"

Suddenly, a cute girl ca running over, her eyes wide open as she smiled at Fang Anning.

"Qi Yaya?" Fang Anning exclaid.

Qi Yaya quickly sat next to Fang Anning and said with a smile, "I finally get to see you. I usually want to visit you at ho, but your housekeeper won’t let

in. Anning, I haven’t properly thanked you for last ti."

Fang Anning responded, "I didn’t know you ca looking for ; it might have been Mrs. Chen stopping you. She’s always worried about

getting tired, so she never agrees to let

see many guests. Sorry, next ti you co looking for , just call

in advance."

Qi Yaya nodded and quickly said, "But I don’t have your phone number yet, can you tell ?"

Fang Anning nodded and gave her her phone number.

Qi Yaya then saw Li Xiaoxiao and exclaid, "You are Li Xiaoxiao? I really like you, can you give

an autograph?"

Li Xiaoxiao looked at her awkwardly and briskly nodded while smiling in embarrassnt.

Being at this party ans everyone is either wealthy or noble, and having soone saying they like her enough to ask for an autograph really was strange.

Qi Yaya happily took out a little notebook for Li Xiaoxiao to sign.

Li Xiaoxiao signed her na and noticed that there were many other signatures already; her mouth twitched slightly.

She thought Qi Yaya genuinely liked her, but it turned out she just asks for autographs whenever she sees celebrities!
