Yao Ning knew that everyone was upset at the moment, so she had to intervene.
This was a strategic retreat; at least now He Ming would be grateful to her and wouldnât suspect her of ulterior motives.
After Yao Ning left, He Ming returned to the living room. Mother He was flipping through channels on the TV remote, clearly trying to find something to occupy herself, but nothing seemed to satisfy her.
He Ming knew she was venting her frustration.
He remained silent, quietly accompanying her.
âYou two can get married, but donât expect me to treat her well,â Mother He stated her attitude first.
âMom, why bother? Youâre about to become a grandmother. Why fuss over these things?â He Ming had to bring up the child.
Indeed, the child was Mother Heâs soft spot.
Sure enough, Mother Heâs eyes softened. âYou two are busy with work. I can help take care of the child, but as for Xiaomeng, donât expect me to be friendly.â
Mother Heâs tone softened slightly.
Well, itâs a start. This could be considered the first step towards success.
âOkay, youâll gradually see Xiaomengâs good side,â He Ming felt he needed to give her time to accept it.
Mother He remained silent, her expression still somewhat serious.
Seeing that everything had been more or less settled, He Ming decided to leave. The road to winning back his wife would be a long one.
Mother He didnât stop him this time.
He drove to Xiaomengâs house again.
This time, he brought a lot of nutritional supplements and fruits.
Upon seeing him, Xiaomengâs father sighed and silently opened the door for him.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âUncle, whereâs Xiaomeng?â He Ming asked nervously.
âSheâs at the hospital. Her mother took her there,â Xiaomengâs fatherâs words sent a chill down He Mingâs spine.
âThe hospital? What happened to her?â He Ming was suddenly at a loss.
He had only been away for a short while, how could something like this happen?
âShe said her stomach was feeling uncomfortable, so Auntie took her to the hospital,â Father Ye explained anxiously.
âUncle, which hospital did they go to?â He Ming finally regained his composure.
âCentral Hospital.â Before Father Ye could finish his sentence, He Ming had already dashed off.
At the hospital, Mother Ye supported Ye Xiaomeng as they waited in line. She had just found out about her daughterâs pregnancy, and she couldnât shake off the unease in her heart.
She looked at Xiaomeng with concern. They hadnât even registered their marriage yet. Now that she was pregnant, she wondered what the two of them were thinking.
Her daughter had been hurt before, and she didnât want the same thing to happen again this time.
âXiaomeng, what are you and He Ming thinking?â Mother Yeâs face was filled with worry as she finally couldnât hold back and asked Xiaomeng.
âWe havenât decided yet, but I will keep this baby,â Ye Xiaomeng looked at her mother with determination in her eyes.
âButâ¦â Mother Ye worried that she might do something foolish. For an unmarried woman to carry a child, it wouldnât be good for her reputation. Besides, raising a child was not just about words; there were also issues of money, education, and family.
Still young, she realized she had been too hasty in her actions.
âMom, donât worry, I will handle it,â Ye Xiaomeng hugged her motherâs shoulders and reassured her.
She looked at the several strands of silver hair on her motherâs head, feeling a pang of guilt.
She had been very unfilial, always making her parents worry. But this time, she had her bottom line. If there couldnât be a complete love, she would rather not have it.
She had always thought that maybe her attitude wasnât clear or firm enough, but this time she would make He Ming understand that there couldnât be any ambiguity in their relationship.
