Chapter 29: He Peng’s Temporary Stay
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Over the next few days, Fang Ya was hesitating whether she should go and talk to He Feng.
For one thing, although the two of them did not share a clear relationship at the moment, they were still relatively close friends, so it was only right for them to lend a hand if they were in trouble.
Before Fang Ya went to look for He Feng, He Feng came over first.
That night, Fang Ya had just coaxed Tang Tang to sleep, and she had packed her things and was prepared to sleep. Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, giving Fang Ya a fright.
"Who is it?" Fang Ya asked, not daring to open the door.
He Feng's voice came from outside. "Fang Ya, I have something to trouble you with!"
Fang Ya heard that it was He Feng's voice, so she went forward to open the door. "Why are you here so late? What's the matter?"
Fang Ya looked down. He Peng was also with He Feng, and he had brought a lot of things with him.
Fang Ya looked at He Feng in confusion. "What's wrong?"
He Feng hesitated for a moment before saying, "Can I trouble you to help take care of Little Peng for a few days?"
Fang Ya nodded subconsciously and said, "Come in first!"
He Feng took He Peng and followed Fang Ya into the courtyard. Fang Ya tidied up a room at the side and let He Peng wash up before going in to rest.
He Peng looked a little tired. Without any objections, he went into the bathroom to wash himself clean and then went to his room to rest.
After settling He Peng down, Fang Ya walked to He Feng's side and asked, "What exactly happened?"
He Feng looked at Fang Ya with a troubled expression. "There were some things I didn't tell you about my divorce before..."
Fang Ya did not speak and quietly waited for He Feng to continue.
"Little Peng's mother..." He Feng said. He hesitated for a moment before saying, "She left in a hurry."
"At that time, my mother-in-law did not know what happened," He Feng continued.
"A few days ago, she heard about our divorce. She thought that I might not be able to take care of the child by myself. She wanted to take the child back." He Feng's expression was very calm.
"But, I don't really want her to take the child away," He Feng voiced his true thoughts.
"Her family lives in the countryside, and the child has already started school," He Feng said seriously. "It's very troublesome to transfer schools, and it's not good for the child's future development."
"So, I don't want the child to go with her," He Feng said his opinion firmly.
Then, he shrugged helplessly. "But, the old lady is pretty stubborn. She thinks that I can't take care of the child well."
"Doesn't she know the reason for your divorce?" Fang Ya could not help but ask.
"Well, not yet!" He Feng curled his lips and said.
"Then, you don't plan to tell her?" Fang Ya asked tentatively again.
"There's no need!" He Feng smiled bitterly. "The two of us don't have any foundation in our relationship, to begin with."
"All these years, I owe her a lot." He Feng sighed and said, "Since she made a choice, I should respect her."
"Moreover, if this matter is spread to her family, her parents might have a hard time living." He Feng guessed the most likely outcome.
Fang Ya listened to He Feng's words and could not help but feel a little heartache. This man was wholeheartedly thinking of a woman who had cheated on him.
Fang Ya did not know if this man had the woman in his heart. Or was it just him feeling guilty for not giving enough?
"You plan to let the child stay with me for a period of time so that his grandmother won't be able to find him?" Fang Ya guessed He Feng's thoughts.
"Ah! No!" He Feng said and scratched his head. "It's because I've had a very difficult case recently. I really can't take care of him!
"I can't let his grandmother use this as a reason to take the child away, so I can only trouble you!" He Feng finished, looking full of anticipation.
Fang Ya took a deep breath and said, "It's a sound idea. I'm more than happy to take care of Xiao Peng.
"But I don't agree with your way of handling the relationship between you and your ex-wife." Fang Ya expressed her opinion.
He Feng looked at Fang Ya and waited silently.
"I think her parents have the right to know the truth," Fang Ya said seriously. "Moreover, you are obligated to tell them everything."
"Everyone should be responsible for what they have done." Fang Ya looked at He Feng and smiled slightly.
"You don't have to take responsibility for her mistakes, do you?" The smile on Fang Ya's face made He Feng feel relieved.
