After closing the door, Ye Xiaomeng couldnât calm down for a long time.
The moment she saw He Ming when she opened the door, she felt a sense of joy. She didnât expect him to rush over upon discovering her returning home, which proved he still cared about her.
However, this was far from enough. When two persons formed a family, it wasnât just about love. It also involved responsibility and commitment.
The most important thing was loyalty.
However, He Ming didnât seem to understand this. He felt that nothing had happened between them, and he thus didnât let her down.
However, she had enough of that feeling of suspicion. Any minor cues would make her overthink.
He Ming couldnât give her a complete sense of security.
She needed to calm down. She also wanted to give He Ming a chance to choose.
His motherâs attitude was explicit. She didnât see her as the ideal daughter-in-law in her eyes. Therefore, she felt there was no need to continue trying to please her. She wanted to be herself.
He Ming stood at the door for a long time, but Xiaomeng had no intention of opening the door. He Ming thought for a while before realizing he had more important things to do. He looked at the door and said to the Xiaomeng inside, âMengmeng, Iâll come back to visit you later. Take good care of yourself and the baby. I love you.â
He Ming left after he finished speaking. Ye Xiaomeng saw He Mingâs back through the glass window as he drove away, and tears flowed down her face unconsciously.
He Ming came back for nothing else but that he had made up his mind to make things clear to his mother.
When he returned home, he was somewhat surprised, but it seemed reasonable that Yao Ning came again. He Ming felt that she came rather frequently. Werenât doctors very busy these days?
He Ming was starting to suspect her motives.
âHe Ming, youâre back?â Whenever Yao Ning saw He Ming, she always felt he was very handsome.
âYes, itâs good that youâre here. Hereâs your lipstick.â He Ming took a lipstick out of his pocket and gave it to her. He would have thrown this lipstick away long ago if he had not been courteous. Due to this broken thing, his life was now a mess.
âThank you. Iâve troubled you.â Yao Ning looked at He Ming. He looked haggard as if he hadnât slept for days.
âItâs fine.â He Ming looked into the kitchen. His mother was cooking.
âYouâre back? Quickly sit down. Weâll eat soon,â said He Mingâs mother. She was very happy. He Ming came back at the right time.
He Ming looked at his motherâs happy face and could not help but frown.
During dinner, He Ming saw his mother and Yao Ning chatting happily. Out of the blue, He Ming smiled at the two of them and said, âMom, I have good news for you. Xiaomeng is pregnant. Youâll be a grandmother soon.â
The news He Ming broke out impacted the two of them, and their expressions differed.
Mother He looked in disbelief. Wasnât she very difficult to conceive? Why did he say that she was pregnant when Yao Ning appeared? It was too much of a coincidence.
Mother He didnât quite believe it. She felt Ye Xiaomeng was lying to retain He Ming.
Therefore, she said, âHe Ming, itâs not a matter of a joke. Donât joke about such a thing.â
Mother He reprimanded. She could not be blamed for not believing it because everyone would find it hard to believe in the beginning.
âItâs true, Mom. Itâs been more than two months. The fetus was not very stable earlier, so I didnât tell you,â He Ming said seriously. He felt that it was the right time to announce this news.
After all, they were all here. It was to prepare them mentally.
