He Ming sat for a mont, checking the ti. Xiaong had been at work for an hour now. He wondered how she was doing.
Thinking quickly, he picked up his phone and walked to the balcony, dialing Ye Xiaong’s number. “ngng, how are you feeling? Is the baby giving you any trouble?” He Ming asked with concern.
Ye Xiaong was a bit speechless. Since arriving at the company, she had simply been sitting at her desk, not doing much.
“It’s fine. Don’t worry so much. Just focus on what you need to do,” Ye Xiaong replied, truly exasperated with him.
“Alright, just take care of yourself. Call if anything happens,” He Ming said, sounding pitiful.
He felt like his status at ho was getting lower and lower. It was quite miserable.
Having one’s face snubbed while feeling secretly happy was a twisted feeling he couldn’t quite comprehend.
After hanging up, he stood there in a daze, lost in thought.
When Yao Ning erged from the kitchen, she saw He Ming standing on the balcony, a smile on his face as if basking in the spring breeze, making him even more charming.
She stared at him until he turned around and noticed her.
Feeling embarrassed, Yao Ning turned her face away, caught red-handed.
He Ming walked into the living room.
“Auntie says dinner is ready,” Yao Ning said to He Ming.
“Okay.” As He Ming approached her, Yao Ning could feel his presence.
It was reassuring.
During dinner, Mother He and Yao Ning were the ones conversing, while He Ming quietly ate. He figured he wouldn’t be able to discuss marriage with his mother today.
After dinner, He Ming thought Yao Ning might stay, so he planned to make an excuse to leave. But as soon as he ntioned leaving, Yao Ning said she had to return to the hospital in the afternoon.
“Ming, how nice. Why don’t you take Yao Ning ho? It’s on the way,” Mother He quickly suggested.
Now, He Ming couldn’t refuse even if he wanted to.
“Would that be too much trouble?” Yao Ning asked cautiously, clearly hoping He Ming would offer to take her.
“Not at all,” He Ming said helplessly. His mother’s “on the way” was a bit of a stretch; where he was going and the hospital were in opposite directions. But it wasn’t difficult to give soone a ride.
While He Ming exchanged pleasantries with Mother He and Yao Ning, he dialed Xiaong’s number again.
Xiaong was infuriated every ti he called every hour to check on her. She wished she could just turn off her phone to avoid his interruptions.
But then, to prevent further disturbance at work, she actually did turn off her phone.
Staring at her now dark screen, Ye Xiaong fud, “Mr. He, let’s see how you’ll disturb now.”
Finally, peace and quiet. She could focus on her work.
He Ming was dumbfounded when he heard the phone turn off. He never expected her to have the guts to do that.
Driving Yao Ning back to the hospital, He Ming remained silent as Yao Ning recounted their school days, smiling without speaking.
The atmosphere was relatively relaxed, and Yao Ning secretly wished the hospital was farther away so she could spend more ti with He Ming.
Finally arriving at the hospital, Yao Ning bid farewell to He Ming after getting out of the car.
He Ming nodded and then started the car towards Ye Xiaong’s office.
But then, what’s this? Her phone suddenly turned off.
Xiaong would probably regret her decision now because Mr. He, unable to reach her by phone, was heading straight to her office.
As he arrived, he carried trays filled with coffee, milk tea, cakes, and snacks, intending to treat everyone to an afternoon tea.
Seeing Xiaong’s boyfriend for the first ti, everyone started teasing.
