Chapter 289 - 289: Eating Longevity Noodles

At the thought of that, he immediately took out his phone and made a call, which was picked up.

“What are you doing?” He Ming asked.

“I was about to take a nap and you woke me up.” Ye Xiaomeng snapped from the other end of the call.

“Babe, I’m sorry. Have a good afternoon nap. See you tonight.” He Ming smiled foolishly for a while before he hung up.

Hu Shanshan wanted to chat with He Ming when she saw him come out of the kitchen but he went out to the balcony instead to make a call.

Her interest was piqued. It was the weekend, so it shouldn’t be about work.

So, when He Ming was standing on the balcony with his back to her, she stood by the floor to ceiling windows and pretended to look outside.

She vaguely heard He Ming say words like “babe” and “see you tonight”. When she saw He Ming hang up, she quickly returned to the sofa and pretended to watch TV.

It turned out that the incident at the hotel didn’t break them up. They seemed to have become even closer.

What went wrong? That woman had clearly misunderstood He Ming…

“Ming, come and eat your noodles.” Mrs. He walked out of the kitchen with a big bowl of noodles.

“Shanshan, come over quickly and eat. You must be hungry.” Mrs. He said. What an obedient girl.

“Alright.” Hu Shanshan sat beside He Ming.

But He Ming regarded her as a fierce tiger.

He was afraid after the unfortunate incident with her.

He Ming lowered his head and wolfed down his noodles.

“Shanshan, don’t look at your Brother He. Hurry up and eat. Eat more.” Mrs. He invited her warmly.

“Auntie, you too.” Hu Shanshan felt a little embarrassed when she heard Mrs.

He say that.

After finishing his noodles, He Ming looked at the time. It was getting late.

He got up and said goodbye to Mrs. He.

“Sigh, Ming. Why are you leaving so quickly?” Mrs. He frowned, obviously unhappy with his behavior.

“I still have something to do, Mom. I’ll be back in two days and I’ll bring you a surprise.” He Ming said mysteriously.

“You’re trying to trick me again. What surprises can you bring me? Other than a daughter-in-law, nothing else is a surprise to me.” Mrs. He sighed. She was obsessed about getting a daughter-in-law.

“You’ll know then. Bye now.” He Ming patted Mrs. He’s shoulder.

“Brother He, I need to go home to do something too. Can I hitch a ride with you?” Hu Shanshan put down her chopsticks, stood up, and looked at He Ming.

He Ming felt a dull pain in his temples. He was reluctant after the last incident. His front passenger seat was reserved exclusively for Xiaomeng. He didn’t want any other woman to sit in it.

“Um… It’s not really on the way.” He Ming said tactfully.

“Shanshan, did you have enough? You didn’t eat much.” Mrs. He asked hurriedly when she heard that Hu Shanshan was leaving.

“Yes, Auntie. I wanted to take Brother He’s home but it seems that I’m not on the way…” Hu Shanshan said in disappointment.

“You are on the way, always on the way. When there’s a will, there’s a way. The city is so well-connected. Is there any place that’s out of the way?” Mrs. He replied.

Mrs. He then glared at He Ming. “Ming, Shanshan is our guest. How can you treat her like that? You have a car, so send her home.”

Mrs. He ordered before He Ming could refuse.

He Ming felt helpless. His empress dowager had spoken, so he could only obey.

He hoped that there wouldn’t be any more trouble.

His Xiaomeng was still the best: innocent and less scheming..
