“Oh, no worries. She went back ho a few days ago. I’ve been busy lately, and when I tried calling her today, she didn’t pick up. I just wanted to ask if she’s been in touch with you these past few days?” He Ming quickly explained, concerned that Shu Pan might misunderstand.
“No, I’ve been busy too. Is everything okay with her?” Shu Pan asked, sounding worried.
“I’ll go pick her up tomorrow,” He Ming said, realizing he might have been too anxious. Perhaps she just didn’t have her phone with her.
Ah, he thought, getting flustered had made him forget everything else.
Now that he had cald down, he realized he might have been too nervous and overly concerned about Xiaong.
Xiaong, that scatterbrain, often forgot to bring her phone. It wouldn’t be unusual for her to miss a call.
He smiled to himself. Indeed, busy minds lead to chaos.
“Alright, keep updated,” Shu Pan instructed.
“Got it,” He Ming readily agreed.
“He Ming, um… did Xiaong say anything to you before she left?” Shu Pan rembered Xiaong’s pregnancy and brought it up.
“No, why?” He Ming thought for a mont. Xiaong didn’t say anything specific before she left.
“Oh, never mind then,” Shu Pan thought Xiaong might have her own plans, so she didn’t tell He Ming.
After He Ming hung up the phone, he felt a bit lancholic. It had been a long ti since he last saw Xiaong, and he missed her terribly.
Back at ho, Mother He waved him over, gesturing for him to sit down, then she asked him directly.
“Did you and Xiaong break up?” Mother He got straight to the point, not beating around the bush.
“How could that be? We’re not breaking up,” He Ming replied sternly.
“Are you trying to kill ? Forget about Xiaong’s past, just tell about your plans now. How long have you been thinking about having a child? Do you have one?” Mother He said loudly.
“Mom, calm down, take care of yourself, let’s talk properly,” He Ming said, concerned not to upset her since she was in delicate health.
“Fine, I’m not angry. But tonight, you’re going out to dinner with Yao Ning, and you better take a good look at the girls around you,” Mother He insisted, convinced that Xiaong had bewitched him, otherwise he wouldn’t be so stubborn.
There were so many outstanding girls around him. How had he not noticed?
“Okay, okay, I promise,” He Ming quickly agreed.
He had already planned to take Yao Ning out to dinner, so it wasn’t a big deal.
Mother He finally quieted down. She just didn’t believe that He Ming wouldn’t listen to her.
After all, he was her son, and she knew him very well.
Seeing that the old man at ho had stopped making a fuss, He Ming breathed a sigh of relief. He thought to himself that when Xiaong ca back, they would have to work even harder.
They needed to strive to have a cute baby as soon as possible, so they wouldn’t have so many issues.
Around five in the afternoon, Mother He urged He Ming to drive to pick up Yao Ning.
When He Ming arrived at the hospital’s entrance, he was just about to make a call when he saw Yao Ning coming out, perfectly tid.
He drove slowly towards her, then honked the horn lightly.
Yao Ning, lost in thought, jumped a little at the sound, but when she saw it was He Ming, her eyes lit up. As He Ming parked and got out of the car, he opened the passenger door for Yao Ning, who gracefully stepped inside.
He Ming had booked a table at a Western restaurant without much thought. He simply felt that the environnt there was quieter and more conducive to conversation, and after a busy day at the hospital, Yao Ning could use so peace and quiet.
But as a gentleman, he still wanted to ask the beautiful lady for her opinion.
“Yao Ning, is there any restaurant you particularly want to go to? Or any dish you’d like to eat?”
“Anything is fine, I’m not picky. You decide,” Yao Ning smiled softly.
