Chapter 314: Angry
Upon hearing her mother’s words, Shanshan felt a bit disappointed.
She thought Auntie He liked her and wanted her to be He Ming’s girlfriend, considering her excellence in various aspects.
As it turned out, Auntie He only cared about He Ming having a girlfriend, regardless of who the woman was.
“Mom, don’t worry, I’m fine,” Shanshan forced a smile, not wanting to let her mother worry.
However, she wasn’t one to give up easily, and she definitely wanted to see what kind of person He Ming liked.
Seeing her daughter taking it so well, Shanshan’s mother felt relieved.
He Ming and Ye Xiaong returned to their residence. Along the way, Xiaong didn’t speak much and seed preoccupied.
He Ming glanced at her and then asked, “ngng, what’s wrong? Are you still upset about the shirt incident?”
At his ho, when Auntie He ntioned that the shirt was a gift from Shanshan, Xiaong’s expression changed instantly.
But she recovered quickly, so Auntie He didn’t notice.
“No, I’m just thinking, can I trust you? You promised multiple tis not to have any contact with her, but on your birthday, she still gave you such an intimate gift?” Xiaong’s tone was calm.
He Ming beca extrely nervous upon hearing this. He would prefer
Xiaong yelling at him rather than seeing her in such a dejected state.
“ngng, my mom called to go ho for birthday noodles. She sohow found out about it, so I went. But I just put the gift she gave aside without even looking at it. If you hadn’t ntioned this shirt today, I really wouldn’t have known about it.”
He Ming felt like fate was playing a joke on him. Why did everything related to Shanshan happen so coincidentally?
Ever since he t her, it seed like she was causing trouble for him all the ti.
In the future, no matter what, he would keep his distance from Shanshan.
“Do you really have no other feelings for her? Many relationships start from childhood friends,” Xiaong asked. She hoped he would be honest with her about any past hurts. She didn’t want to experience it again.
“I swear I have absolutely no feelings for her. I’ll keep my distance from her in the future, and I’ll discard the gift she gave ,” He Ming asserted sincerely.
“Considering your sincerity, I’ll let it go this ti, but there really can’t be a repeat, ” Ye Xiaong emphasized.
“Alright, I understand. I’m sorry, ngng,” He Ming said and casually pulled Xiaong into his arms.
The warmth of the man’s embrace surrounded her, bringing a slight sense of reassurance to her heart.
Because of He Ming, Xiaong tried to minimize her business trips. Developing markets outside was indeed challenging.
He Ming felt sorry for her and had suggested more than once that she quit her job. If she didn’t want to work, he could support her, and she could find a less demanding job if she felt bored.
However, Xiaong hadn’t considered resigning yet. She politely declined his suggestion but assured him that she wouldn’t travel frequently.
Xiaong deeply understood the significance of having a job in her life. Initially, eting his parents made her hesitant, considering their relatively short relationship and her own complicated past. She struggled with her own internal conflicts.
But it was He Ming’s love and persistence that encouraged her to take that step. Despite being cherished, she believed in maintaining her own space and independence, not wanting to rely entirely on a man..
