He Ming left the ward quickly, thinking that once his mom was discharged, he could go find Xiaomeng. He hastened his steps towards the hospital’s billing counter.
In the ward, Mother He was chatting with Yao Ning, holding her hand.
“Yao Ning, you’re such a good girl. Do you have a boyfriend?” Mother He asked directly, without beating around the bush. If she was going to introduce a potential partner to her son, she needed to know all the details.
“Auntie…” Yao Ning blushed shyly.
Being experienced, Mother He understood the implication right away.
“Yao Ning, what do you think of my son?” Mother He asked tentatively.
“He Ming is great,” Yao Ning, being clever, wouldn’t miss Mother He’s a hint. She quickly expressed her stance.
After admiring He Ming for so long, would she finally have a chance?
“Hehe, that’s good then,” Mother He chuckled. It wasn’t self-praise; her son was indeed so outstanding that there were few who wouldn’t like him.
“Auntie, you’ve been in the hospital for so long. Why haven’t you seen He Ming’s girlfriend come to visit you?” Yao Ning asked casually.
After all, she had always heard about his girlfriend but hadn’t seen any other women come to visit.
Wasn’t it strange? Even if she was busy, shouldn’t she have made time to visit her boyfriend’s mother who was ill?
Upon hearing Yao Ning mention He Ming’s girlfriend, Mother He immediately thought of Xiaomeng, and her expression darkened.
“They probably broke up. I haven’t seen them in contact recently anyway. Besides, I didn’t approve of her,” Mother He’s tone was firm.
Yao Ning was stunned. She hadn’t expected this situation. Did He Ming and his girlfriend break up?
“Auntie, what He Ming likes, outsiders can’t interfere with,” Yao Ning seemed to be stirring up trouble.
“How can they not interfere? I’m his mother. If he marries Xiaomeng, it would mean cutting off our family’s future. I won’t allow it,” Mother He said indignantly. She didn’t want to meddle in her son’s relationships, but seeing him so blindly obsessed, she felt responsible for waking him up.
Yao Ning felt conflicted. So it was Auntie He’s opposition, not He Ming’s relationship with his girlfriend, that caused the issue. Hearing this, she suddenly felt very disappointed.
Just then, He Ming returned.
“It’s all sorted out, Mom,” He Ming efficiently helped pack things up.
“Good,” Mother He nodded.
“Yao Ning, thank you for everything during this time,” He Ming expressed his sincere gratitude.
“You’re welcome. We’re friends after all,” Yao Ning smiled gently, her lips forming a long arc.
“Then tonight, when you finish work, I’ll come pick you up for dinner,” He Ming’s thoughts were straightforward. He just wanted to quickly repay the favor and not owe anyone anything.
Yao Ning’s heart skipped a beat when she heard this. Was he asking her out on a date? That would be wonderful.
“Okay,” Yao Ning nodded shyly.
Mother He watched quietly, smiling inwardly.
Great, her wish to hold her grandchild might not be far off now.
After settling Mother He at home, He Ming stepped outside and impatiently dialed Xiaomeng’s number.
But no one answered after several tries.
He was getting anxious. Had something happened since they hadn’t been in touch for days?
No, he decided. Tomorrow, he would go to Xiaomeng’s house and check on her.
He then called Shu Pan, wanting to inquire about Xiaomeng’s situation.
“Isn’t Xiaomeng at home? We haven’t been in touch for a few days. Is everything okay?” Shu Pan received He Ming’s call, sounding worried.
