âMengmeng, stop saying that. You know Iâm not that kind of person.â He Ming plead earnestly.
âI think we need to calm down for a while so that everyone can think about it. I donât want to sleep here tonight, and I also donât want to see you.â After saying that, Ye Xiaomeng pulled her arms back, stuffed her clothes into her bag, and wanted to walk out.
He Ming broke out in a cold sweat on his forehead as he chased after her, heading outside.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âMengmeng, calm down. Itâs so late now. Even if you donât care about yourself, you must be careful with the child in your tummy.â He Ming suddenly thought of the child.
Little did he know that it was still fine not to mention the child, but Ye Xiaomeng flew into a rage once he mentioned it.
âHmph, this is my child. You donât need to remind me. Do you think itâs good for my child to have a father like you?â Upon hearing Ye Xiaomengâs words, He Ming felt disheartened.
âMengmeng, give me a chance. You canât condemn me just for these trivial matters. Letâs sit down and talk things out.â
âThereâs no need for that.â Ye Xiaomeng wanted to leave immediately. She didnât want to see him.
It wasnât the first time something like this had happened, and it definitely wouldnât be the last.
âHow about this? If you donât want to see me, Iâll leave. You donât have to leave. Itâs so dark outside now. Itâs not safe for a girl like you.â He Ming had no other choice.
They could talk about it tomorrow. She wouldnât be able to calm down now, and he was worried that she might run into trouble if she went out. Therefore, he stepped back.
Ye Xiaomeng paused for a while, seemingly thinking his words made sense.
There was no need to make things difficult for herself, and she had to think about the child even if she was not tired.
Seeing that she didnât head out, He Ming quickly said, âRest early. Weâll talk about it tomorrow. Iâll go home for a while.â
With that, he left.
Ye Xiaomeng heaved a sigh of relief seeing him leave.
She really didnât want to see him tonight. She would sleep first and talk about it tomorrow.
After He Ming went out, he felt frustrated. He thought for a while and called Gu Shaoting.
âCome out for a drink.â He Mingâs words made Gu Shaoting somewhat puzzled.
âWhatâs going on? Itâs so late now. Why arenât you taking care of Xiaomeng but calling me out for a drink?â Gu Shaoting frowned.
âWell, if itâs convenient, letâs have a drink. Iâm feeling annoyed.â He Ming said.
Gu Shaoting heard him sound depressed and knew that something had happened.
âAlright, the usual place.â After hanging up the phone, Gu Shaoting headed out after telling Shu Pan.
When Gu Shaoting arrived, He Ming was drinking one glass after another. âBrother, donât get drunk,â he said.
âBrother Ting, youâre here. Have a seat and drink.â He Ming immediately poured a full glass for Gu Shaoting.
âWhat happened?â Gu Shaoting took a sip of wine and asked with concern.
âXiaomeng is leaving. She doesnât want me anymoreâ¦â He Ming said dejectedly.
âWhatâs going on? Didnât I hear you saying youâre about to register for marriage?â Gu Shaoting felt the issue this time was quite serious, noting that He Ming was not in the right state.
âThere was a class reunion the day before yesterday, and I sent a female classmate home. She dropped her lipstick in the car, and Xiaomeng found out. She misunderstood and thought something inappropriate had happened between me and that female classmate. Now sheâs furious and wants to leave home.â He Ming told Gu Shaoting the whole story.
âThen tell me honestly, did you do it?â Gu Shaoting asked.
âBrother, even if you lent me a thousand or ten thousand guts, I wouldnât dare to do such a thing. Moreover, I love Xiaomeng. How could I do something that would betray her?â He Ming said in distress.
