Chapter 12 Apologize to Her

Yun Ying was especially afraid that Duoduo would ask this question because she did not know how to answer it. She hesitated and then said, "Your dad is very busy. If he works here, we can stay here. Next time if your classmates ask what your dad does, tell them that he works in this company."

"Oh, I see." Duoduo nodded in agreement. "I'll keep in mind that the next time

they ask me this, I will tell them that my dad works in the company."

"That's right."

At this moment, in another room of the Fang's, Fang Hengzhi was sitting on the sofa smoking a cigarette. He was in a bad mood. Looking at his long and beautiful hand, he thought of how this hand had just hit Yun Ying's face. He suddenly felt a little distressed.

He couldn't explain why he had this kind of emotion. 'Perhaps it was the guilt of a man bullying a woman,' he warned himself.

After hesitating for a while, he decided to apologize to Yun Ying. After all, he had slapped her twice in her face and that was too much. Although they lived under a same roof and some conflicts were inevitable, Yun Ying was a stubborn and strong-minded woman. If she really got hit without an apology, he might feel ill at ease as well next time they met. What's more, Yun Ying was also a difficult person to get along with in his view and he also needed this woman to behave herself in the future. If this clash really upset her and provoked her rebellious character, things would be very difficult to deal with.

Thinking for a moment, he stood up and put out his cigarette. He came to the door of Yun Ying's room. Just as he was about to knock on the door, he realized that the door did not seem to be closed tightly. The door opened and a ray of light leaked out.

"Mom, what does my new dad look like? Does he look nice?" There was a girlish voice in the room. Fang Hengzhi knew that the girl was Duoduo.

Then Yun Ying's voice came from inside, "Your new dad is very nice and gentle. He is a good-looking man."

Fang Hengzhi had never heard Yun Ying saying something in such a gentle tone. In his mind, every time he met her, Yun Ying was so stubborn and unwilling to surrender. She was either sneering at him or putting on a cold face. She was like a person who didn't know how to laugh and be truly happy for she always gave people a cold look.

However, right now this woman was speaking with such a nice and gentle voice. So gentle that Fang Hengzhi was even a little bit absent-minded. He felt as if he had heard such a warm voice somewhere before. But he could not recall it exactly for this moment.

"Mom, I really like my new dad." Duoduo said seriously.

"You haven't met him yet. How can you like him without seeing him?" Yun Ying laughed.

Duoduo nodded and said, "I have not seen him, but I think he is very good to us. You see. We have a big house to live and a car to drive, and I can study in such a great school. And the most important thing is that mom doesn't have to worry about money every day, so I think the new dad must be good to you. Otherwise, you would be always frowning over money, just like you do before."

Yun Ying smiled and said nothing. She reached out to touch Duoduo's head and said to her, "Don't worry. As long as mom is here, you will be fine."

Outside the door, Fang Hengzhi listened to Duoduo's words and could not tell his own feeling. To be honest, he didn't like this child before. Perhaps it was because he hated her mother and felt that the woman's child was just as annoying as she was. However, what she had just said made his heart soften. After all, kids were all innocent and saw everything in a gentle and simple way.

She considered him, her new dad, a good man just because of a big house and a car. Fang Hengzhi couldn't tell if he was happy or sad, because he realized that the new dad the little girl liked so much was the man she was afraid of by day. When the girl met him, she was so nervous and frightened that she hid behind Yun Ying.

Duoduo's tender voice was like a soft hand soothing the strange and complicated emotions in Fang Hengzhi's heart bit by bit. Fang Hengzhi was about to leave when he heard Duoduo's childish voice again.

"Mom, do you like him when you marry new dad?"

Fang Hengzhi couldn't help but stop and listen attentively.

It was strange that he would be interested in such a question.

There was no sound from Yun Ying in the room. Fang Hengzhi mocked quietly. Thinking about how he had always fought against her, he knew this woman probably did not have any good impression of him.

He didn't care anyway. He didn't like her as well. Just as he was about to leave, Yun Ying's vague voice came from inside.

"I do. Of course, I like your new dad. Otherwise, why would I marry him?"

Yun Ying's voice was as casual as ever, like a gust of wind.

Outside the door, when Fang Hengzhi heard what she said, he couldn't help but sneer. His eyes turned cold and his lips were curled up with ridicule and contempt.

How dared this woman say the word "Like"? It was simply an insult to this word and this feeling.

'She's such a liar. She can even lie at a time like this,' he thought. The complicated feeling for her disappeared immediately right after this casual word. He clenched his fists, and his pale cheeks grew even paler.

Yun Ying packed her things in the room and was about to take Duoduo to shower when someone knocked on her door.

"Who is it?" She shouted at the door.

"It's me, miss." It was aunt Li's voice.

After staying here for a long time, Yun Ying also knew the names of some higher-ranking maids in the villa. For example, this maid who often came to her door, her surname was Li, so she called her aunt Li.

She opened the door and saw aunt Li smiling at her, "Miss, are you going to sleep?"

She nodded, "Duoduo has to go to school tomorrow. Take her to bed early to help her form a good habit."

"Alright, you may take her to shower first. I'll be waiting for you at the door."

"What's the matter?"

"Oh, it's no big deal. It's just that young master said that if you're done with your work, go and meet him. He'll be waiting for you in his room."

"Fang Hengzhi wants to meet me?" Yun Ying was stunned.

What did Fang Hengzhi want with her? The two of them had a big fight before, and Fang Hengzhi had even hit her. Could it be that Fang Hengzhi wanted to lock her up in his room and beat her up?

Aunt Li comforted Yun Ying when she saw her wrinkled brows, "Don't worry. Although young master may act cold and mean sometimes, he is actually quite nice to people. As long as you don't piss him off, he is usually benign and tolerant."

Yun Ying was speechless. She didn't seem to have done anything wrong. Why should Fang Hengzhi was the one who's tolerant? She was the one who's tolerant enough. After all, it was Fang Hengzhi who had hit her. If he really wanted to apologize, Fang Hengzhi should have said "I'm sorry" to her.

"Alright, I got it. Go tell him that I will come after I give Duoduo a shower."
