Hu Shanshan nodded and said, âBrother He, I wonât hold you back then. All the best.â Hu Shanshan put up a considerate front. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Because she couldnât keep his heart even if she kept his person. She had plenty of time. The winner would be the person who had the last laugh.
He Ming left quickly.
Hu Shanshan watched him walk away with affection.
âShanshan, is that your Prince Charming?â One of Hu Shanshanâs good friends came over when she saw He Ming leave.
âYeah, isnât he handsome?â Hu Shanshan asked proudly.
âTo be able to catch the eye of First Young Miss Hu must be the best of the best.â Her friend said fawningly. There was nothing Hu Shanshan couldnât get since young, including love.
Hu Shanshan enjoyed this kind of flattery and went back to the party with her friend.
As soon as He Ming walked out of the hotel, he called Ye Xiaomeng, but she didnât pick up for the longest time. He Ming figured that she must be upset with him that she didnât answer his call.
But in all honesty, Xiaomeng had simply thrown her phone aside to play with Joy. The little girl was a little excited tonight and kept asking her to play with her.
He Ming checked his watch. It was past 9 0âclock. He figured that Xiaomeng must have gone home.
He drove to her place. Her apartment looked dark.
He Ming felt a little helpless and called Xiaomeng again. This time, his call was picked up very quickly.
âXiaomeng, where are you? Why arenât you home yet?â He Ming asked anxiously.
âIâm still at Shu Panâs place. Joy just fell asleep. I was just about to leave.â Ye Xiaomeng wondered how he knew that she was not home yet.
âIâm downstairs of your place now. Wait for me at Shu Panâs. Iâll be there soon.â He Ming instructed.
âArenât you at a birthday party? Why are you back so early?â Ye Xiaomeng looked at the time and realized that it wasnât that late.
âI was. Letâs talk later. Bye now.â He Ming hung up the phone and immediately drove to Shu Panâs place.
When he arrived, Ye Xiaomeng was already waiting downstairs. She looked a little lonely shrouded in darkness.
âXiaomeng.â He Ming called out to her. Ye Xiaomeng looked up at him, slung her bag over the shoulder and got into the car.
He Ming looked into her clear eyes, which were filled with fatigue. Her eyes were as clear as water. Through the dim yellow light in the car, his face was clearly reflected in her clear dark eyes.
He Ming saw that she was a little tired, so he lowered her seat for her. When he leaned over, she could clearly feel his breath on her face. âXiaomengâ¦â He Ming called out again softly.
âHmm?â Xiaomeng responded.
âUm⦠The voice you heard on the phone just now was the birthday girl at her party today. Sheâs the daughter of my motherâs friend. Sheâs more like a younger sisterâ¦â
Before He Ming could finish, he saw Ye Xiaomeng frown.
Damn! Another sister? Could she ever escape from this curse?
Cheng Yang was like that. Would He Ming be like that too?
To her, the word âsisterâ was fiercer than a tiger.
âThereâs really nothing between us. Iâll stay far away from her in the future.â He Ming said nervously when he saw Xiaomengâs silence.
âI didnât think too much about it. Sheâs the daughter of your motherâs friend. Itâs only right for you to be nice to her.â He Ming heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this.
âI know my limits. You must be tired. Iâll send you home.â He Ming patted her head and said intimately.
Ye Xiaomeng nodded. She felt a little strange, but after watching his nervous explanation, she decided to put him under probation..
