The next day, Xiaomeng woke up early because she had important things to attend to. At that moment, she stood in front of her wardrobe, feeling perplexed.
Women always feel like they have one less outfit in their wardrobe. Xiaomeng gazed at the closet full of clothes but couldn’t decide which one to wear.
Holding a dress in her hand, she hesitated as it seemed a bit snug, accentuating her figure more than she wanted. Another outfit looked formal, but Xiaomeng felt it was too professional for meeting parents, not clients.
It was a dilemma.
He Ming walked over, “Darling, what’s wrong? It shouldn’t take so long to pick an outfit.”
“I don’t know which one to wear,” Ye Xiaomeng asked for He Ming’s opinion.
“Whichever you choose will look good,” He Ming indulgently smiled. “Women are such trouble”, he thought. “With a closet full of clothes, she still doesn’t know what to wear.”
Seeing her so earnestly selecting clothes proved how much she cared about meeting his parents. He Ming felt delighted in his heart.
Ye Xiaomeng rolled her eyes at him, asking was futile anyway.
She knew he would respond this way and didn’t expect any good advice from him.
Ye Xiaomeng continued searching and finally spotted a white dress, Imee-length with a modest neckline, giving off an innocent and dignified vibe when worn.
This was it. The decision was made with joy.
Xiaomeng swiftly changed into the dress, applied light makeup, looking lively and well, except for a hint of nervousness.
Meeting the parents was a significant event; anyone would feel a bit uneasy.
After leaving the house, Xiaomeng had He Ming take her to the mall where she bought a gift for the parents.
She chose a branded silk scarf for He Ming’s mother and an inkstone for his father, as He Ming had mentioned his father loved calligraphy. They also bought some health supplements and fruits.
With their hands full, they headed to the He family home.
Just a moment ago, He Ming had secretly called his mother, informing her that he would be bringing his girlfriend home.
At first, Mother He didn’t believe him, but his sincere phone call convinced her it was true.
Then ensued a flurry of activity as she changed into a different outfit, coincidentally finding Father He at home. Together, they brainstormed on what dishes to prepare for their future daughter-in-law.
When He Ming and Ye Xiaomeng arrived, seeing the house in front of her, Xiaomeng felt nervous to the point of her throat tightening.
He Ming rang the doorbell, and Mother He came to open the door.
Xiaomeng saw a kindly woman with an air of elegance.
At the same time, Mother He was also appraising Ye Xiaomeng. “Not bad. Ming’s got good taste; this girl looks clean and gives off a fresh vibe, not tacky at all.”
He Ming introduced them to each other, and after exchanging greetings, Mother He pulled Xiaomeng inside, leaving He Ming behind.
“Auntie, this is a little token of appreciation. I hope you and Uncle like it,” Ye Xiaomeng handed over the gift.
“I’m happy that you’re here; why spend so much?” Mother He said, though her heart was delighted. It wasn’t about the value of the gift; what mattered was that the girl knew etiquette.
Father He also joined them, and Xiaomeng quickly greeted him.
Father He chuckled, telling her to treat the place as her own and not to be nervous.
Seeing everyone so friendly during dinner, Mother He was warm, continuously putting food into Xiaomeng’s bowl.
Looking at the heaping bowl, Xiaomeng didn’t want to offend the elderly’s kindness and could only eat with her head down..
