Ye Xiaomeng was in tears from the pain.
âAlright, just be careful,â He Ming stood up and said to Ye Xiaomeng.
âYouâre leaving just like that?â Ye Xiaomeng heard his words and realized he intended to leave.
âThen what else should I do? Your foot isnât seriously injured. Let me give you some honest advice: donât wear such high heels with such thin heels in the future. Theyâre trouble waiting to happen,â He Ming thought women were nothing but trouble, always causing issues wherever they went.
âYouâre the one who caused me to twist my ankle, so you should be responsible for taking me home,â Ye Xiaomeng was a bit unreasonable, but she had waited for a long time without a car in sight. She didnât want to wait any longer, so she decided to rely on this man to take her home.
âIs your name Rogue?â He Ming found this situation inexplicable. âForget it, I donât have anything important to do anyway. Get in the car.â
âPlease put my luggage in the trunk, thank you,â Ye Xiaomeng instructed He Ming.
Is there anyone more shameless than her? He Ming silently thought to himself. But he didnât say much and just placed her suitcase in the trunk before starting the car.
âPlease take me to this address,â Ye Xiaomeng showed He Ming the address Shu Pan had given her.
He Ming helplessly glanced at it. It was quite far, but he sighed and accepted his fate.
During the journey, neither of them spoke, and the atmosphere was a bit awkward.
Finally, the car stopped at the designated location. He Ming quickly opened the trunk, placed the luggage on the ground, and Ye Xiaomeng got out of the car.
As she said, âThank you,â He Ming had already driven away. She remarked to herself that he was quite impolite, not realizing that He Ming just wanted to get away from her to avoid any further trouble.
Arriving at Shu Panâs house, it was the weekend, and Ye Xiaomeng knew that both Shu Pan and Joy would be at home. She knocked on the door, and Shu Pan came over to open it.
Shu Pan couldnât believe her eyes and had to rub them again until Ye Xiaomeng spoke, âSurprised, huh?â n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âXiaomeng, why didnât you tell us in advance? We could have picked you up,â
âI wanted to give you a surprise. Howâs my goddaughter?â Ye Xiaomeng tousled her short hair.
âGodmother, Iâm here!â Joy heard Ye Xiaomengâs voice and quickly came out.
âWow, my sweet Joy, godmother missed you so much.â
Ye Xiaomeng picked up Joy, and Shu Pan watched their exaggerated performance, feeling both amused and touched.
âOh,â Ye Xiaomeng winced again as her ankle still hurt.
âWhat happened?â Shu Pan leaned in and asked.
âI just ran into a lunatic who scared me with his car and twisted my ankle,â Ye Xiaomeng said as she looked at her foot. It still hurt a bit, but it shouldnât be a major issue.
âWell, thatâs a relief. Come inside. Iâll cook. You should rest for a bit,â Shu Pan reassured her.
During dinner, Ye Xiaomeng told Shu Pan that she had transferred to Bin City for work. Seeing Ye Xiaomeng confidently talking about her life, Shu Pan knew that she had transformed and become a different person.
In the past, due to Cheng Yang, Ye Xiaomeng had simply coasted through her job. Now, she could make her own way in the world.
The world was changing, and so were the people in it.
âAfter dinner, letâs go out for a walk. Itâs been a while since Iâve strolled around Bin City. It feels like Iâve been away for ages,â Ye Xiaomeng suggested.
âSure, Iâll follow your lead,â Shu Pan smiled and nodded..
