Chapter 231: Slightly Touched
Ye Xiaong suddenly felt her heartbeat accelerate. She couldn’t help but feel hot as she sensed the man’s breath next to her.
When He Ming stopped to wait for a green light, he turned to look at her.
“What’s wrong? Why is your face so red? Are you feeling hot?”
Ye Xiaong was at a loss and said hurriedly, “It’s okay. This happens to occasionally, especially when I’m riding in a car.”
Her very far-fetched reason seed to have fooled He Ming.
The restaurant was quite crowded when the two of them arrived that they barely found a table by the window.
He Ming knew that Xiaong was hungry, so he quickly called a waiter over to take their order.
While waiting for their food, He Ming hesitated for a bit before he asked Xiaong, “Xiaong, a friend of mine, more like a sister, is having a birthday party tomorrow night. Are you free to go with ?”
Ye Xiaong’s eyes widened. “Why should I attend your friend’s birthday party. I’m eting Shu Pan and Joy tomorrow anyway.”
He Ming nodded. He had actually expected her answer, but he thought that he should still ask. His principle was to be honest with her and explain clearly his whereabouts, especially when eting other won because it would be difficult to explain if she misunderstood.
Their dishes were finally served, and the stone pot fish slled wonderful.
Xiaong was so hungry that her stomach was growling. She imdiately started eating and He Ming looked at her with a doting smile.
Xiaong thought that the man was strange for smiling foolishly so often.
Xiaong actually understood He Ming’s intentions, but would she trust him again?
He Ming didn’t feel hungry and just picked up food for Xiaong.
“Enough, I’ll do it myself.” Xiaong complained. If she continued to eat like this, she would beco a fatty.
“It’s okay. Eat more. Won need to be a little chubby to look good. What’s so good about looking like a human jerky?” He Ming felt that Xiaong was still thin. She ate a lot, but she didn’t seem to put on weight.
“Nonsense. If that’s the case, why are won constantly on a diet?” Xiao ng said indignantly.
“I don’t know about others, but I think you’re still a little thin. Eat more.” He Ming coaxed her unperturbedly.
Xiaong was a little stunned when she heard this. She felt her heart skip a beat because it sounded like a conversation between lovers. She didn’t think that she was thin but was happy that another person thought that she had lost weight.
“I’m going on a business trip to H-Province next week for two weeks.” Ye Xiaong suddenly looked up and told him her schedule. She was probably going to be very busy again. She only found herself such a demanding job because she wanted to forget about her unpleasant experience.
“For so long? Can’t soone else go? You’re a girl. Your health would probably suffer.” He Ming protested with a frown.
“I have no choice. This is my area of expertise. Besides, it’s not my first trip there.” Xiaong replied indifferently.
She didn’t know why she told him about her business trip, but she thought they were still friends. She shrugged and dropped the subject.
He Ming was thinking about how he could squeeze out so ti to visit her. Sigh, what high maintenance.
After dinner, He Ming took Xiaong to the movies again. He picked another movie that she liked. He knew her preferences like the back of his hand.
The dimly lit cinema was mostly empty. He Ming and Ye Xiaong were sitting in luxury couple seats with no one around them. He Ming glanced at Xiaong from the corner of his eye and saw that she was staring intently at the screen.
But He Ming was distracted. He just kept staring at Xiaong..
