Chapter 598: Confession

He Ming was stunned. He probably didn’t expect Ye Xiaomeng to be sitting in the living room.

“Have you eaten?” Ye Xiaomeng asked.

“Yes, what about you?” He Ming asked. He seemed to have long not eaten with her for some time.

“Yeah, I had some noodles.” Ye Xiaomeng had no appetite, so she ate some noodles. If not for the child, she wouldn’t have eaten at all.

He Ming pursed his lips and sat down next to Ye Xiaomeng.

Ye Xiaomeng saw that he seemed to have something to say, but it was probably too difficult to say, so he looked hesitant.

Ye Xiaomeng’s heart heart suddenly sank. She initially intended to tell He Ming about the pregnancy, but now she could not utter a sound.

“What’s the matter?” In the end, it was Xiaomeng who broke the silence.

“Mmm… Xiaomeng… My mom hasn’t been well recently and has been hospitalized…” He Ming finally told her the reason.

It turned out that his mother was sick. That was why he had been leaving early and returning late recently.

“Is it serious?” Ye Xiaomeng asked nervously.

“It has now stabilized…” He Ming said.

But Ye Xiaomeng knew that he was still hiding something from her.

If she were fine, he wouldn’t have such an expression.

He Ming licked his lips and continued,” Xiaomeng, I’ll probably be quite busy during this period. If my mother is discharged, I’ll probably have to go back and stay home for a while to take care of her. Her emotions aren’t very stable right now.”

So this was the reason why he found it difficult to speak.

Ye Xiaomeng was suddenly a little disappointed. After what happened to his mother, could she not let him go home and take care of her?

After being with him for so long, did she still not understand him? Was she such an unreasonable person?

“It’s okay. Go back and take good care of Auntie.” Ye Xiaomeng said, pretending to be relaxed, not wanting him to worry.

“But you…” He Ming wanted to speak but was immediately interrupted by Xiaomeng.” You don’t have to worry about me. I will take care of myself.”

Baby, Mommy would grow stronger moving on.

“I’ll come back to see you when I have time. You have to eat on time.” He Ming reminded.

“Alright.” Ye Xiaomeng nodded.

He Ming looked at her and patted her head. “It’s been difficult for you lately.”

Ye Xiaomeng shook her head.

Seeing that she was okay, He Ming got up and walked toward the bedroom.

He wanted to pack some clothes for change.

Ye Xiaomeng watched him leave and didn’t come back to her senses for a long time.

Not long after, He Ming packed his things and came out with a small bag.

“Take good care of yourself. I’ll be back soon,” He Ming said, with a hint of reluctance but mostly resignation, torn between familial duty and romantic affection.

He Ming left after saying that.

Ye Xiaomeng suddenly felt much more relaxed. There was no need to hesitate about whether to tell him about the pregnancy now. She decided to wait until he finished his tasks.

Ye Xiaomeng recalled all the moments with He Ming. Everything had been smooth sailing except for Mother He’s objection later on. She also understood what the old lady’s concerns were. Now that she was pregnant, was she more confident now?

Mother He was sick, and He Ming had never asked her to visit her together with him. Was it his mother’s idea because she didn’t want to see her?

No matter what, she had to be courteous. She thought she should visit her before she was discharged.

As for whether she would see her or not, that was her problem.

With this thought in mind, Ye Xiaomeng felt more cheerful.

She touched her tummy and said, “Baby, please give Mommy strength. Let’s work hard together and make your grandmother accept us.”
