“Uncle, it’s nothing valuable, please don’t worry about it,” He Ming looked at the kind-hearted Father Ye, feeling a pang of sadness.
A father’s heartfelt concern, he could understand.
“Wait a moment, I’ll ask Auntie to make a delicious meal for you, let’s have a simple lunch together,” Father Ye said warmly.
“No need, Uncle, I’ll be leaving soon,” He Ming replied. He had no appetite for food now; all he wanted was to hurry and find Xiaomeng.
He felt extremely anxious, wondering where Xiaomeng could be.
He blamed himself deeply; he had been neglecting Xiaomeng lately, leading her to the idea of running away from home.
In the vast sea of people, he didn’t even know where to start looking for her.
“Don’t say such nonsense; it’s a rare occasion for you to visit. How can you leave without eating?” Father Ye’s warmth was truly hard to resist.
Just then, Mother Ye happened to return from buying groceries. Her eyes lit up when she saw He Ming.
“He Ming, you’re here?” Mother Ye looked at her son-in-law with increasing fondness. Then she turned to Father Ye and said, “Old man, why didn’t you call me? I could have bought more groceries.”
“Auntie, I’m just passing by on a business trip and decided to drop by to see you both. I’ll be leaving soon, so there’s no need to go to any trouble,” He Ming said, genuinely wanting to avoid inconveniencing the elderly couple.
“Auntie is nimble, it won’t take long,” Mother Ye said as she entered the kitchen.
“He Ming, have you been busy lately?” Father Ye engaged him in conversation.
“It’s been alright,” He Ming nodded.
“He Ming, Xiaomeng can be a bit stubborn sometimes. I hope you can be more patient with her. She’s kind-hearted, but she can be a bit impulsive at times,” Father Ye said, mixing praise and criticism.
Truly, the concerns of parents know no bounds.
Father Ye only had this one precious daughter, and he definitely wished for her happiness and joy.
“Uncle, Xiaomeng is wonderful. Meeting her has been my blessing. I should thank you for raising such a great daughter,” He Ming said sincerely.
“That’s wonderful to hear,” Father Ye replied, visibly relieved, finally letting go of a big worry.
“Uncle, you can rest assured, I’m serious about this,” He Ming assured him.
“Alright,” Father Ye seemed to choke up a bit.
Soon, Mother Ye came over, announcing that dinner was ready.
Father Ye and He Ming walked over to the dining table. “Would you like some wine?” Father Ye asked.
“No, Uncle, I’ll be driving later,” He Ming waved his hand to decline.
“Yes, driving safely is the priority,” Mother Ye insisted.
“He Ming, has Mengmeng been busy lately?” Mother Ye asked with a furrowed brow.
“Well, she’s been okay. Why, is something wrong?” He Ming inquired.
“She hasn’t been back for a while, and she’s been calling home less often,” Mother Ye missed her daughter.
“Oh, when she has time, we’ll come back more often,” He Ming also felt a pang of regret; he had been neglecting the two elders too much.
“It’s okay, you both are busy with your careers. Just call us when you have time,” Mother Ye was understanding.
“Alright,” He Ming replied, but his mind was preoccupied with thoughts of Xiaomeng. Even though the table was filled with delicious dishes, he couldn’t taste any of them.
After hastily finishing the meal, He Ming made an excuse and left.
Father Ye and Mother Ye didn’t dare to keep him when he said he had something to attend to, fearing that it might be an urgent matter.
The first thing He Ming did after leaving was to call Xiaomeng, but the call went unanswered. He was truly frantic.
With no one picking up the phone, it automatically disconnected.
He Ming sent a text message to Xiaomeng, asking her to contact him as soon as possible.
Feeling like a headless fly, he had no choice but to head home for now.
