After closing the door, Ye Xiaomeng couldn’t calm down for a long time.

The moment she saw He Ming when she opened the door, she felt a sense of joy. She didn’t expect him to rush over upon discovering her returning home, which proved he still cared about her.

However, this was far from enough. When two persons formed a family, it wasn’t just about love. It also involved responsibility and commitment.

The most important thing was loyalty.

However, He Ming didn’t seem to understand this. He felt that nothing had happened between them, and he thus didn’t let her down.

However, she had enough of that feeling of suspicion. Any minor cues would make her overthink.

He Ming couldn’t give her a complete sense of security.

She needed to calm down. She also wanted to give He Ming a chance to choose.

His mother’s attitude was explicit. She didn’t see her as the ideal daughter-in-law in her eyes. Therefore, she felt there was no need to continue trying to please her. She wanted to be herself.

He Ming stood at the door for a long time, but Xiaomeng had no intention of opening the door. He Ming thought for a while before realizing he had more important things to do. He looked at the door and said to the Xiaomeng inside, “Mengmeng, I’ll come back to visit you later. Take good care of yourself and the baby. I love you.”

He Ming left after he finished speaking. Ye Xiaomeng saw He Ming’s back through the glass window as he drove away, and tears flowed down her face unconsciously.

He Ming came back for nothing else but that he had made up his mind to make things clear to his mother.

When he returned home, he was somewhat surprised, but it seemed reasonable that Yao Ning came again. He Ming felt that she came rather frequently. Weren’t doctors very busy these days?

He Ming was starting to suspect her motives.

“He Ming, you’re back?” Whenever Yao Ning saw He Ming, she always felt he was very handsome.

“Yes, it’s good that you’re here. Here’s your lipstick.” He Ming took a lipstick out of his pocket and gave it to her. He would have thrown this lipstick away long ago if he had not been courteous. Due to this broken thing, his life was now a mess.

“Thank you. I’ve troubled you.” Yao Ning looked at He Ming. He looked haggard as if he hadn’t slept for days.

“It’s fine.” He Ming looked into the kitchen. His mother was cooking.

“You’re back? Quickly sit down. We’ll eat soon,” said He Ming’s mother. She was very happy. He Ming came back at the right time.

He Ming looked at his mother’s happy face and could not help but frown.

During dinner, He Ming saw his mother and Yao Ning chatting happily. Out of the blue, He Ming smiled at the two of them and said, “Mom, I have good news for you. Xiaomeng is pregnant. You’ll be a grandmother soon.”

The news He Ming broke out impacted the two of them, and their expressions differed.

Mother He looked in disbelief. Wasn’t she very difficult to conceive? Why did he say that she was pregnant when Yao Ning appeared? It was too much of a coincidence.

Mother He didn’t quite believe it. She felt Ye Xiaomeng was lying to retain He Ming.

Therefore, she said, “He Ming, it’s not a matter of a joke. Don’t joke about such a thing.”

Mother He reprimanded. She could not be blamed for not believing it because everyone would find it hard to believe in the beginning.

“It’s true, Mom. It’s been more than two months. The fetus was not very stable earlier, so I didn’t tell you,” He Ming said seriously. He felt that it was the right time to announce this news.

After all, they were all here. It was to prepare them mentally.
