Chapter 623: An Unexpected Visitor

This was a big deal. He had been putting it off for so long, but now that things were finally looking up, he was determined to seize the opportunity.

In truth, he hadn’t given it much thought. Whether Xiaomeng was pregnant or not, he wanted to marry her. But Xiaomeng insisted on getting pregnant before agreeing to marry him.

Fortunately, luck was on his side, and he had finally found his happiness.

All he could think about now was humming a tune. He felt more confident now, and he couldn’t wait to show off to Brother Ting.

On the way back to the He residence, he found the scenery along the road more enchanting than ever before, truly delightful to behold.

He parked the car and rang the doorbell.

After a moment, the door opened, revealing a graceful face behind it.

He Ming was taken aback for a moment, wondering if he had gone to the wrong house. But no, this was indeed his home.

“He Ming, you’re back?” Yao Ning asked gently.

He Ming furrowed his brows slightly. “Oh, Yao Ning, you’re here.”

After entering the house, He Ming’s mother cast a cold glance at him.

“So, you remember to come back? Unlike Yao who even comes to see me after her night shifts?” There was a hint of sarcasm in Mother He’s words.

“Auntie, I just happened to be passing by to see you. After all, I was the one taking care of you in the hospital, so I feel responsible to check up on you,” Yao Ning hurriedly explained, afraid that He Ming might misunderstand her intentions.

“Yao Ning, thank you. I appreciate you coming even though you’ve been busy,” He Ming expressed his gratitude.

“Don’t mention it. As long as Auntie is okay, I’m relieved,” Yao Ning said with a smile.

Mother He couldn’t help but take a liking to Yao Ning more and more. Look at her, so elegant and with such a good temperament. No matter how you looked at it, she seemed outstanding.

“Come, Yao Ning, have a seat. Have some fruit. We’ll have lunch here later, and I’ll make something delicious for you,” Mother He said with a smile.

“Auntie, you don’t have to bother. Just rest well. I’ll be leaving soon to get some rest myself, and I have afternoon rounds to attend to,” Yao Ning noticed the look on He Ming’s face, sensing that he wasn’t very welcoming towards her. To avoid further embarrassment, she spoke up.

“You stubborn child, since you’re here, you should at least have a light meal,” Mother He reproached.

“Thank you for your kindness, but I really can’t” Yao Ning declined politely.

“Stay and have a meal since you’re already here,” He Ming finally spoke up.

Yao Ning felt a surge of joy. So, he also wanted her to stay.

“Well, it would be a bit of trouble for Auntie,” Yao Ning said, feeling somewhat embarrassed.

“Haha, not at all. I’ve been cooking for decades. Later, make sure you finish all the dishes,” Mother He said before disappearing into the kitchen.

“He Ming, have you been busy lately?” Yao Ning noticed the faint dark circles under He Ming’s eyes.

She didn’t know that it was because Xiaomeng was pregnant and He Ming was too excited to sleep.

“Not too bad. And you? There’s never a day in the hospital that isn’t busy,” He Ming replied with a faint smile.

For a moment, Yao Ning was stunned. Truly, she had many outstanding individuals around her, but someone like He Ming was rare.

“Yes, but it’s fulfilling,” Yao Ning pretended to avert her gaze.

Suddenly, both fell silent, the atmosphere becoming somewhat awkward.

“I’ll go help Auntie in the kitchen,” Yao Ning said, breaking the silence before walking away.

He Ming felt a headache coming on. He rubbed his temples, intending to come back and tell Mom about Xiaomeng’s pregnancy and their marriage plans.

But with an outsider present, it wasn’t very convenient.

He would see how things unfolded later.
