Chapter 137: Chapter 133: I Dare to Be Proud Because You Spoil Me (Part 3)

Her attitude couldn’t be clearer, almost as if the words "totally irrelevant" were stamped on Bai Yunyang’s face.

As soon as Mrs. Chen left, Fang Anning apologized to Bai Yunyang with an embarrassed smile: "I’m sorry, please don’t mind what Mrs. Chen said."

"It doesn’t matter, I’m used to it. She should treat me this way," Bai Yunyang said.

"Why?" Fang Anning frowned and asked.

Bai Yunyang looked at her and chuckled, remaining silent without an answer.

Fang Anning smiled at Bai Yunyang and said, "Mr. Bai, would it be inconvenient for you to sit down and chat too?"

"What would you like to talk about?" Bai Yunyang sat down.

Fang Anning looked at him and said, "You told me before that you and He Tingchen fell out over a woman. Was it because both of you liked the same woman? Where is she now, still with the He family?"

Bai Yunyang furrowed his brows and asked in a low voice, "Where did you hear these things from?"

Fang Anning said, "I didn’t hear it from others, but I saw a woman at the He house, a woman locked up and only capable of frenzied screaming."

"Did you really see her?" Bai Yunyang stood up and asked with a frown.

Fang Anning looked at the agitated him and calmly said, "Yes, I saw her. So, what is your relationship with her? Is she the woman you and He Tingchen were fighting over? But I don’t understand, if both of you liked her, why did she go insane; why would the He family lock her up?"

"You have never seen her. You’re telling me this just to deliberately test me," Bai Yunyang calmed down and slowly sat down to speak to Fang Anning.

Fang Anning hadn’t expected him to react so quickly and couldn’t help feeling a bit guilty as she pursed her lips.

Indeed, she was deliberately testing him.

But she thought that most of what she had just said was correct, which is why she was convinced he would fall for it.

However, his quick recovery and rational response meant either he’d never liked that girl or things were not as she had imagined.

"How do you know I’m lying to you?" Fang Anning asked.

Bai Yunyang said, "Things are not as you imagine. We were once friends, but I never liked that girl."

"So it was He Tingchen who liked her? Then why did you fall out with He Tingchen?"

If it wasn’t jealousy, why did the two of them fall out?

"It’s because he wanted to give that girl to me for me to take care of her, even though they loved each other. But, he acted irresponsibly and wanted me to look after her. Naturally, I refused, and that’s why we fell out," Bai Yunyang explained.

Fang Anning’s heart felt as if it was pricked by a needle, causing a bit of pain.

They loved each other?

Did He Tingchen also once love someone else?

Just like how he and she are now?

"I don’t think they ever loved each other; if they truly loved each other, they wouldn’t have fallen out," Fang Anning said.

Bai Yunyang said, "We three were once very close. Whether they loved each other or not, I’m clearer on that than anyone. But he chose to give up on her, which I think is unacceptable behavior. His actions completely overturned my perception of him and made me feel like a stranger."

"Did they... also have a child?" Fang Anning asked.

Bai Yunyang looked at her in surprise: "How do you know?"

Sure enough.

Fang Anning closed her eyes and said, "I heard about it, didn’t think it was true. That woman is still alive, right in the He family."

"Impossible, he later wanted to marry Qi Wenli, and I went to ask him specifically. I asked him why he was marrying someone else; what about her? He told me that she was already dead, and he couldn’t give up his life just because of her death. It was then that we completely broke off, never to interact again."

"He said she was dead?" Fang Anning frowned.

Bai Yunyang nodded.

At that time, Mrs. Chen returned.

Fang Anning had more questions she wanted to ask but swallowed them back and said to Bai Yunyang, "Thank you, Mr. Bai, for clearing up my confusion. I have to go now."

Bai Yunyang nodded.

He too stood up to leave.

After he left, Mrs. Chen watched his retreating figure with a wary eye, and quickly asked Fang Anning, "Wife, why did you sit down with him again? What did you talk about? This man is no good person; you must stay away from him."

"It was just a casual chat about jewelry, Mrs. Chen, you’re really nagging. Let’s hurry over to the set; I’m supposed to have dinner with Xiaoxiao tonight." Fang Anning said impatiently.

Seeing her annoyed, Mrs. Chen dared not say any more, and quickly took her things and left with her.

Upon arriving at the set, Fang Anning happened to catch the scene between Cheng Wanbai and Li Xiaoxiao.

Fang Anning watched with relish, only now realizing that the plots she saw on TV were shot like this, which was quite interesting.
