Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

He Ming sat in the car, patiently waiting. He had never done anything like this before.

After a while, while he was debating whether to continue waiting, he saw Ye Xiaomeng with a little girl, who happily bounced out.

Ye Xiaomeng said something to the little girl, and the little one laughed heartily.

Seeing Ye Xiaomeng’s expression, so gentle and different from her attitude toward him, he quickly started the car and caught up with them.

“Hey, pretty ladies, where are you heading? Get in, I’ll be your driver,” He Ming was casually friendly, with a playful smile.

Ye Xiaomeng ignored him and continued walking with Joy.

But He Ming wasn’t discouraged. He slowly followed them.

Finally, when Ye Xiaomeng noticed the curious glances from passersby, she had to stop and angrily asked He Ming, “What are you doing now? Didn’t we agree that that night was just a dream? As a grown man, why are you still so persistent?”

Ye Xiaomeng had said enough to make him understand her intentions.

“What do you mean, ‘just a dream’? That night, you clawed my back until it turned red, and it still hurts now. I was…” He Ming had a somewhat submissive expression, making Ye Xiaomeng want to stomp her foot.

“Can you be any more shameless?” Ye Xiaomeng glared at him. “What do you want?”

Ye Xiaomeng really didn’t want to get involved in a new relationship. After being betrayed by Cheng Yang, the pain was deeply ingrained in her heart, and it still ached to this day.

“Get in, I’ll take you both out for a big meal,” He Ming said sincerely, looking at them with pitiful eyes.

“Alright, why not? If someone wants to treat us, why would I refuse?” Ye Xiaomeng replied straightforwardly.

“Little Princess Joy, this uncle will take us out for a big meal,” Ye Xiaomeng lifted Joy into the car.

“Godmother…” Joy was a bit scared when she saw a stranger.

“Don’t be afraid, Joy. He’s a friend of godmother’s,” Ye Xiaomeng comforted her, then got into the car herself.

“Hello, little beauty. I’m Uncle He. Let’s be friends,” He Ming extended a friendly hand to Joy.

He Ming was already convinced that Joy was Gu Shaoting’s daughter because she had been with Shu Pan that day and bore a striking resemblance to Gu

Shaoting. Now, up close, she looked even more like him. Suddenly, he envied Gu Shaoting. If Joy really was Shu Pan’s child, how would Gu Shaoting react?

“You’re godmother’s friend, so you’re my friend too,” Joy’s words made He Ming laugh.

As it turned out, Ye Xiaomeng was a good friend of Shu Pan’s. Otherwise, her daughter wouldn’t call Ye Xiaomeng “godmother.” The world was indeed small, and they had crossed paths in this unexpected way.

However, He Ming found himself in a dilemma. In the future, when it came to important matters, should he support Gu Shaoting or Shu Pan?

The car arrived at a well-known restaurant in Bin City. While they were eating, He Ming noticed Ye Xiaomeng arranging food for Joy. He strangely found himself yearning for this kind of life—a happy family eating together, so warm and cozy.

“Xiaomeng, let’s consider ourselves friends. Why didn’t you answer my calls?” He Ming took the opportunity to ask.

“I don’t pick up calls from strangers,” Ye Xiaomeng replied. She actually recognized his messages, but she didn’t want to engage with him.

Seeing his handsome appearance and suave demeanor, she knew that such a man had no shortage of beautiful women. After her experience with Cheng Yang, who had cheated on her despite their long relationship, she had lost trust in men. Therefore, she intended to keep her distance from him..
