“He Ming, were you with someone just now?” Xiaomeng asked.
He Ming thought for a moment before replying, “No, it was just me.”
He definitely couldn’t let Xiaomeng know about this. The past was the past.
Xiaomeng really wanted to ask loudly, whose perfume scent was in the car? Most people wouldn’t be able to detect it, which was probably why He Ming wasn’t so concerned.
Just as she thought about it, Xiaomeng suddenly felt her stomach churn. She quickly covered her mouth with her hand, got out of the car, and started vomiting.
It was unbearable, and she couldn’t vomit anything else, just dry heaves.
He Ming was slow to react. When he realized the issue, he quickly got out of the car and gently patted Xiaomeng’s back.
“Why is this happening? Could it be that the cake just now wasn’t fresh?” He Ming asked in confusion.
“No, I was fine just now, and my stomach didn’t hurt. I only felt like vomiting after smelling the perfume in your car,” Xiaomeng said, feeling it was time to be honest.
She needed to know the answer, or she would keep thinking about it. And if she didn’t clarify now, such things could happen again.
“Perfume scent? I don’t wear cologne,” He Ming sniffed his clothes but didn’t notice anything unusual. It was the same as before.
“Not on you, it was in the car. I smelled it right away. It was very sweet,” Xiaomeng insisted on her point.
He Ming was stunned. It couldn’t be. He had only dropped off Yao Ning, could it be her? But he didn’t notice anything, did he?
No wonder they say pregnant women are sensitive, but this was too much. He had simply dropped her off and left, hardly worth mentioning.
Because he was about to forget it altogether. Really, he didn’t think much about it.
Right now, he was mostly thinking about his wife and child.
But it seemed he still had to consider the pregnant woman’s emotions. It was better to be honest.
“Other than you, only my mom’s doctor rode in my car. I dropped her off and she left soon after.”
He Ming gave a brief explanation, but he didn’t tell Xiaomeng that Yao Ning was not only his mother’s attending physician but also his classmate.
But he was afraid Xiaomeng might misunderstand. After all, she was a woman, and women tended to overthink things. Now that she was pregnant, it was even more important to keep her calm and stress-free.
“A doctor?” Xiaomeng couldn’t help but think of the short-haired beauty at the hospital. She and He Ming seemed so compatible, so well-matched. Could she be Mother He’s doctor? It seemed they were quite familiar with each other, probably not just walking out side by side with He Ming.
“Yeah. What’s wrong?” He Ming’s casual demeanor seemed to irk Xiaomeng a bit.
“Could it be an old flame?” Xiaomeng’s words carried a bit of a sting, not so pleasant to hear.
Where did she get that from? Women just loved to overthink things.
“Isn’t it? In a few months, I’ll become a big fatso. I’ll be ugly and fat. What should I do then?” Xiaomeng’s tone grew more petulant as she spoke. She didn’t feel very secure, especially considering how outstanding He Ming was and how many beautiful women there were.
“No, you’ve always been beautiful in my eyes,” He Ming comforted her. He had never realized how unreasonable pregnant women could be.
“Really?” Xiaomeng felt a bit embarrassed. She had only brought up the doctor’s situation. How did it turn into a conversation about her?
“Whatever you become, I’ll love you just the same,” He Ming promised. Pregnant women were the greatest.
Xiaomeng seemed satisfied with this answer, and the matter of the perfume was temporarily put to rest.
He Ming sighed. From now on, he would only drive Xiaomeng. He wouldn’t give rides to anyone else.
