“Did you give her any hints, and she became infatuated with you? How did a lipstick drop in the car? Maybe she merely wants to test you, or maybe she wants to ruin your relationship with Xiaomeng?” Gu Shaoting’s mind was clear and calm, and his analysis was logical.

He Ming suddenly realized. Indeed, there was a possibility of this. However, did Yao Ning intentionally drop her lipstick?

Could she possibly like him? He Ming recalled the class reunion, where she had always stayed by his side. With that shy demeanor, was it admiration?

He dared not flatter himself. After all, she did not confess her feelings for him.

“You can test if it was intentional. You can’t blame Xiaomeng for being angry. If she’s angry, it means she cares about you. Besides, women are often sensitive and observant. They can’t tolerate even a small mistake. You need to handle this matter carefully, or else Xiaomeng will really leave you.” Gu Shaoting felt that he could see the situation more clearly as an onlooker than those directly involved

He Ming suddenly widened his eyes and raised his voice. “That’s unlikely. I don’t sense any interest from her, and I believe she’s not that kind of person,”

Gu Shaoting didn’t dwell on it. He understood that everyone had beautiful aspirations of pure and innocent friendships during school years and didn’t want to defile them.

“You can’t judge a book by its cover.” Gu Shaoting had also encountered many such things.

“This… ” He Ming was a little confused.

“Could it be that she likes you and has resorted to such tactics to test you?” Gu Shaoting’s words reminded him.

He Ming felt distressed hearing this.

What should he do now? He didn’t know how to explain it to Xiaomeng at all.

It was a small matter, but he didn’t understand why Xiaomeng kept harping on it this time. He felt that it might be because of her pregnancy that made her feel insecure.

He would beg for her forgiveness tomorrow.

“Come, cheers. Don’t overthink. Women need to be coaxed. Ask for her forgiveness tomorrow.” Gu Shaoting was now afraid, too. It was best to stay away from other women to avoid getting into trouble.

“Alright.” He Ming drank another glass.

When they finally left, He Ming was a little drunk. Gu Shaoting took him back to his house. Since there were many guest rooms, he let He Ming stay in one of them.

The following day, He Ming sobered up gradually in an unfamiliar room. He carefully recalled and knew that Gu Shaoting had brought him home, so he got up to wash up.

Walking out of the living room, he saw Auntie Li and Shu Pan preparing breakfast.

“Good morning, He Ming. Come over and have breakfast.” Shu Pan greeted him with a smile.

“Alright, thank you.” He Ming sat down uneasily.

“Sorry to trouble you.” He Ming was a little embarrassed, and his expression was a little ugly.

“Don’t mention. We’re on the same side.” Shu Pan shook her head. She probably knew the ins and outs of the matter.

He Ming also wanted to rush back to find Ye Xiaomeng. It had been a night, and she had probably thought it through.

Seeing He Ming’s distressed expression, Shu Pan stared at his messy hair, stubble, and dark circles under his eyes. She could guess what had happened. “You two quarreled? It won’t be easy to ask for forgiveness this time, right?”

“Shu Pan, I really need your help to support me.” He Ming pleaded.

Shu Pan looked stern when she heard that. “He Ming, you really didn’t do it? If you did, admit it. Xiaomeng is my friend. I won’t see her get hurt. These days, some people do have ulterior motives.”

He Ming said solemnly, “Shu Pan, I, He Ming, is worthless and also dare not talk about this matter to you if I have done anything unfaithful to Xiaomeng. I promise I only love Xiaomeng.”
