âYouâre feeling so uncomfortable, just rest at home,â He Ming persuaded.
âItâs actually better to keep myself busy. Then I wonât keep thinking about this matter.â Ye Xiaomeng felt that going to work allowed her to move around a bit, and she didnât have to stay cooped up at home every day.
She knew her health well.
âAlright, Iâll change my clothes and drink milk before I leave.â Ye Xiaomeng got up to look for her clothes after saying that.
âIâll prepare milk for you.â He Ming walked out and closed the door.
They headed out with everything ready.
He Ming drove the car out, and Ye Xiaomeng took the passenger seat. The company wasnât far away, just two subway stops away.
However, He Ming insisted on sending her to and from work every day.
Sitting on the seat, Ye Xiaomeng suddenly felt something underneath the cushion.
She flipped open it and was dumbstruck. It was a lipstick. It was definitely not hers because she dared not try such a bright color.
Ye Xiaomeng glanced at the brand; it was a luxury brand. The owner must have had a good financial situation to afford such a brand.
Ye Xiaomeng remained calm and collected. With her current status, it was not appropriate for her to make a scene. She reckoned that even if she were to interrogate him, she would not find out anything.
âWhatâs wrong?â While driving, He Ming saw Xiaomengâs dazed expression from the corner of his eye.
âNo⦠nothingâ¦â Ye Xiaomeng didnât know how to ask him.
When did it drop? How did it drop here?
âIf you feel tired at work, call me to pick you up,â He Ming reminded her.
âOkay. By the way, how was your class reunion yesterday?â Ye Xiaomeng probed.
âNothing special. Itâs just a few classmates having dinner,â He Ming said casually.
âDid any admirers or first loves attend?â Ye Xiaomeng said jokingly.
He Ming was stunned and looked at her. âThey were all male classmates.â
He Ming thought she was pregnant now, prone to overthinking, and more sensitive. So, he decided to avoid discussing the topic.
He didnât realize that women had zero tolerance for mistakes, more so deceit.
She might have treated it as a white lie if he had said that he didnât know. But since she knew he was lying, it was a different story.
Someone at the class reunion dropped the lipstick when he sent her home last night because it was not there when he fetched her from work.
âOh.â Ye Xiaomengâs expression momentarily turned subdued as she stared out of the window, lost in thought.
When they arrived at the company, Xiaomeng got out of the car and walked straight into the company. He Ming only returned to his senses when he saw her out of his sight.
Since Xiaomeng discovered the lipstick, she had been at a loss. She felt deeply unsettled.
She didnât know whether to confront him or not. There was a limit to a personâs endurance, and it was impossible to accept lie after lie.
Feeling helpless, Ye Xiaomeng called Shu Pan.
âXiaomeng? Are you alright?â Shu Pan was a little surprised that Xiaomeng would call her at this hour.
âAre you available tonight?â Ye Xiaomeng asked.
âYes, I am. Whatâs the matter?â Shu Pan felt something must have happened to Ye Xiaomeng, and she sounded a little low.
âGirl, He Ming is probably having an ambiguous relationship with his female classmate behind my back.â Ye Xiaomeng told Shu Pan about the matter and wanted her opinion.
âHe Ming? Heâs having an ambiguous relationship with others?â Shu Pan found it hard to believe. Everyone had seen for themselves how much he loved Xiaomeng.
âYes, I wouldnât believe it in the past, but Iâm pregnant now. Look at me. Iâm so ugly.â Ye Xiaomeng was very unconfident now, especially in front of He Ming.
She felt that her complexion had deteriorated since she was pregnant, and her overall mental and physical state wasnât as good as before.
