Ye Xiaomeng had always been thankful to have met He Ming, believing it was a blessing from above. However, now she dared not think that way anymore. It seemed that even the heavens werenât particularly favoring her.
She didnât know why he lied to her. If he had openly admitted to sending a female classmate home, she wouldnât have thought much of it, as itâs only natural.
However, he was ambiguous or hesitant, which made her feel something amiss.
She said calmly, âHe Ming, I think Iâm very accommodating in that aspect. I donât have anything to say about what you like. But now that Iâm pregnant, thereâs no wayâ¦â
Ye Xiaomeng choked up and couldnât continue.
âMengmeng, no, I didnât.â He Ming was so anxious that he wanted to kneel to her.
âThink about it. Recently, other than the occasional social gatherings after work, Iâve always been back home very quickly. The rest of the time, Iâm at home with you. How can I have time to look for other women? How could I have the energy to be with other women? A female classmate drank a little yesterday, so I gave her a ride home. Thatâs all.â
He Ming quickly confessed. He was really unlucky. There would always be some minor problems during good days.
âThen why did you lie to me in the beginning?â Ye Xiaomeng stared at him, trying to read from his expression.
âI was afraid that you would overthink. Thereforeâ¦â He Ming felt that he had a knack for attracting trouble. Everything was going well, but then such minor problems would arise.
âAn excuse.â Ye Xiaomeng looked skeptical.
âIf you donât believe me, I can call her right now before you.â He Ming looked calm. He didnât do anything unfaithful to Xiaomeng, so he wasnât afraid.
âIâll call her now.â Seeing Xiaomeng was silent, He Ming continued.
âGo ahead.â Ye Xiaomeng turned around and looked at his helpless expression. Her messy thoughts calmed down a little. âYou call in front of me. Switch on the speaker.â
Hearing what he said, Ye Xiaomeng agreed.
He Ming felt a little hurt. Xiaomeng didnât believe him.
However, he was not afraid. He really did not do it, so he nodded obediently.
He took out his phone and dialed the number. Soon, the call connected.
Yao Ningâs cheerful voice came from the other end of the phone. âHe Ming, itâs you?ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âYes, did you drop your lipstick in my car yesterday?â He Ming asked. Other than her, there was no one else.
âOh, no wonder I couldnât find it when I came home. It was actually in your car. Thatâs great. Just leave it with Auntie if itâs convenient for you. Iâll visit her when Iâm free and get it back.â
What Yao Ning said was reasonable, but He Ming broke out in a cold sweat. Wasnât it obvious?
He looked at Ye Xiaomeng beside him. She was sitting on the sofa, looking pale and expressionless.
âAlright.â He Ming could only bite the bullet and agree.
After hanging up the phone, He Ming slowly came to Xiaomengâs side and explained, âShe was the attending doctor when my mother was admitted the last time. Sheâs also my classmate. I only knew about it when we met at the hospital.â
Ye Xiaomeng sneered. She suddenly felt she was a joke. No, a fool, a big fool.
She called her Auntie affectionately. She had a good job and was a good person. What about herself? She had always been despised.
It turned out that she was the bad one. After comparison, she seemed worse than others.
âIâm redundant. Look at how harmoniously your family gets along. What else are you hiding from me? Donât treat me like a fool.â Ye Xiaomeng was disheartened.
So, it turned out it was the same girl she had seen at the hospital previously. She was really outstanding, and Ye Xiaomeng couldnât help but feel inferior in comparison.
