Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Upon hearing her mother’s words, Shanshan felt a bit disappointed.
She thought Auntie He liked her and wanted her to be He Ming’s girlfriend, considering her excellence in various aspects.
As it turned out, Auntie He only cared about He Ming having a girlfriend, regardless of who the woman was.
“Mom, don’t worry, I’m fine,” Shanshan forced a smile, not wanting to let her mother worry.

Seeing her daughter taking it so well, Shanshan’s mother felt relieved.
He Ming and Ye Xiaomeng returned to their residence. Along the way, Xiaomeng didn’t speak much and seemed preoccupied.
He Ming glanced at her and then asked, “Mengmeng, what’s wrong? Are you still upset about the shirt incident?”
At his home, when Auntie He mentioned that the shirt was a gift from Shanshan, Xiaomeng’s expression changed instantly.
But she recovered quickly, so Auntie He didn’t notice.
“No, I’m just thinking, can I trust you? You promised multiple times not to have any contact with her, but on your birthday, she still gave you such an intimate gift?” Xiaomeng’s tone was calm.
He Ming became extremely nervous upon hearing this. He would prefer
Xiaomeng yelling at him rather than seeing her in such a dejected state.
“Mengmeng, my mom called me to go home for birthday noodles. She somehow found out about it, so I went. But I just put the gift she gave me aside without even looking at it. If you hadn’t mentioned this shirt today, I really wouldn’t have known about it.”
He Ming felt like fate was playing a joke on him. Why did everything related to Shanshan happen so coincidentally?
Ever since he met her, it seemed like she was causing trouble for him all the time.
In the future, no matter what, he would keep his distance from Shanshan.
“Do you really have no other feelings for her? Many relationships start from childhood friends,” Xiaomeng asked. She hoped he would be honest with her about any past hurts. She didn’t want to experience it again.
“I swear I have absolutely no feelings for her. I’ll keep my distance from her in the future, and I’ll discard the gift she gave me,” He Ming asserted sincerely.

“Considering your sincerity, I’ll let it go this time, but there really can’t be a repeat, ” Ye Xiaomeng emphasized.
“Alright, I understand. I’m sorry, Mengmeng,” He Ming said and casually pulled Xiaomeng into his arms.
The warmth of the man’s embrace surrounded her, bringing a slight sense of reassurance to her heart.
Because of He Ming, Xiaomeng tried to minimize her business trips. Developing markets outside was indeed challenging.
He Ming felt sorry for her and had suggested more than once that she quit her job. If she didn’t want to work, he could support her, and she could find a less demanding job if she felt bored.
However, Xiaomeng hadn’t considered resigning yet. She politely declined his suggestion but assured him that she wouldn’t travel frequently.
Xiaomeng deeply understood the significance of having a job in her life. Initially, meeting his parents made her hesitant, considering their relatively short relationship and her own complicated past. She struggled with her own internal conflicts.
But it was He Ming’s love and persistence that encouraged her to take that step. Despite being cherished, she believed in maintaining her own space and independence, not wanting to rely entirely on a man..
