Let's Divorce As Agreed

Chapter 651: Successful Proposal

However, although He Ming had already expressed his intention to marry, he hadn’t met with his own family yet to discuss the matter.

“Dad, Mom, Xiaomeng has agreed to marry me. Thank you. I promise to take good care of Xiaomeng and be filial to you both,” He Ming, thick-skinned as ever, naturally changed his address without a hint of embarrassment.

On the other hand, Xiaomeng blushed at the side, feeling it was a bit premature for him to call them “Mom and Dad.”

“Alright, alright, as long as you two live happily together. There will inevitably be some bumps in marriage, but you should learn to be tolerant and understand each other,” Father Ye finally smiled, offering some advice from his own experience.

“Understood, Dad,” they both responded in unison.

“He Ming, since you’re planning to get married, when will you have the wedding banquet?” Mother Ye asked, concerned. After all, she only had one daughter, and such a big event needed to be announced to relatives and friends.

“I’ll go back and inform my family first, and then we can decide when to meet everyone together. Is that okay?” He Ming asked, needing to discuss such matters with his own mother.

“Okay, that sounds good. But Xiaomeng’s belly will only get bigger, so we should do it sooner rather than later,” Mother Ye still cared about her daughter’s reputation. It wouldn’t look good to get married with a visible bump.

“Alright, I understand. But Xiaomeng is still in the early stages of pregnancy and isn’t very stable, so it’s better to wait until she’s more settled. After all, getting married is quite exhausting,” He Ming considered thoughtfully, remembering the chaos surrounding Gu Shaoting’s wedding.

“Yes, you’re right. You’ve really thought it through,” Mother Ye nodded repeatedly, growing to like her son-in-law more and more.

“Given Xiaomeng’s current situation, it’s not suitable for her to be running around. It’s better for her to rest at home during this time. With us taking care of her, you can start arranging the wedding,” Mother Ye was afraid that He Ming, being a man, wouldn’t be meticulous enough. She knew they had been living together all along, and his parents’ attitude was still unknown, so she suggested they stay at home, where they could be taken care of.

“Alright, I’ll come over when I have time,” He Ming said, then turned to Xiaomeng, “Mengmeng, is this arrangement okay with you?”

“Sure, I’ll call my company later and let them know. If it’s not possible, I’ll just resign,” Xiaomeng felt that the current situation was unstable and the child’s well-being was paramount. She really needed to take it easy with work, and her boss would understand.

“Okay,” He Ming felt secretly pleased. If she resigned, that would be great. He really felt sorry for her having to work with such a big belly. What if anything happened and he wasn’t there?

Finally, things settled down.

He Ming stayed overnight at the Ye residence, reluctantly returning to his own home the next day.

With Xiaomeng not there, the house felt empty and devoid of warmth.

Checking the time, He Ming found it was still early. He decided to go to the office to handle some matters first, then return home to discuss the marriage with his mother.

Thinking about his mother’s attitude, He Ming felt a headache coming on again. He needed to carefully plan how to persuade her.

Back at the office, after finishing his tasks, he went to Gu Shaoting’s office.

“Need something?” Gu Shaoting glanced at him briefly before returning to his work.

“I might be busy lately, so I’ll need you to take care of things at the company,” He Ming said as he sat on the sofa.

“What’s keeping you busy?” Gu Shaoting asked casually.

“Life-changing matters,” He Ming replied with a faint smile, feeling like the clouds had finally parted to reveal the moon.
