Chapter 613: She’s Missing

Initially, when she found out he had a girlfriend and probably even considering marriage, she was heartbroken and ready to give up. But fate intervened. When He Ming’s mother fell ill and happened to be in her department, she crossed paths with He Ming again. Wasn’t this fate?

She had secretly observed to see what kind of person He Ming’s girlfriend was. But after waiting for so long, she never showed up. It didn’t make sense. How could she not visit her future mother-in-law when she was sick? It indicated a terrible relationship, didn’t it?

She stole a glance at He Ming, who was earnestly ordering dessert for her. It warmed her heart.

When the dessert arrived, she savored it spoon by spoon, reluctant to finish it too quickly. She wanted to spend more time with him.

Finally, they finished eating, and He Ming settled the bill.

In the car, Yao Ning looked at He Ming. His hands were distinct, strong, and powerful, making her heart flutter.

Suppressing her excitement, she pretended to be calm and said, “He Ming, Auntie needs to rest well after recovering. Don’t stress her out.”

He Ming nodded appreciatively. “Okay, thank you.”

He Ming dropped Yao Ning off at her house. Initially, Yao Ning wanted to invite He Ming inside, but she quickly reconsidered. It wouldn’t be appropriate, and she didn’t want him to think she was too forward.

So after getting out of the car, she waved to He Ming, reminded him to drive safely, and gracefully walked away.

After Yao Ning left, He Ming started the car and drove home.

Early the next morning, He Ming told his mother he had to go out for something. His mother thought he was going on a business trip and reminded him to be careful.

He nodded and left.

If his mother found out he was going to see Xiaomeng, she’d probably get angry again.

For now, it was best to avoid stirring up more trouble.

He Ming bought fruits, tea leaves, and nutritional supplements and headed to Xiaomeng’s house.

It took him 40 minutes to drive to Xiaomeng’s house, and the closer he got, the more nervous he became. Even though he had visited Xiaomeng’s parents before, meeting elders always made him a bit tense.

With the gifts in hand, He Ming pressed the doorbell.

After a moment, footsteps approached from afar, and He Ming straightened his posture.

Suddenly, the door opened, and Father Ye poked his head out, looking surprised to see He Ming.

“He Ming, how come you have time to come over? Did Xiaomeng come back with you?” Father Ye asked happily after regaining his composure.

“Xiaomeng… she happened to have something to do. I was just passing by on a business trip, so I came to see you and Auntie,” He Ming replied, completely flustered by Father Ye’s question.

From Father Ye’s words, it seemed that Xiaomeng hadn’t returned home at all. Where could she be? Why would she lie to him?

Where could she have gone? Or had something happened to her?

The thought that Xiaomeng might be in trouble made He Ming break out in a cold sweat.

But to avoid worrying Uncle Ye, he managed to calm himself down. After entering the house, he handed over the gifts in his hands.

“Silly boy, it’s good that you’re here. Don’t spend money recklessly,” Father Ye scolded gently. Although he hadn’t seen He Ming much, he could judge character. He knew He Ming was upright and treated his daughter well, and that was enough for him.

His daughter had been hurt once by a wrong person, and this time, he just hoped Xiaomeng could find happiness.

As a father, his expectations were low. As long as his daughter was happy and treated well, that was all he wished for.

He didn’t seek great wealth; as long as they were comfortable, it was enough. That was their parents’ wish.
