When Ye Xiaomeng heard a woman’s coquettish voice on the other end of the call, she hung up on reflex.
But on hindsight, she was a little angry. He was clearly with another woman, yet he hypocritically called her to tell her that he would pick her up.
Shu Pan looked at Ye Xiaomeng’s angry face and asked in confusion, “Which idiot provoked you now?”
“A leopard can never change its spots. All men are scumbags.” The more Ye Xiaomeng spoke, the angrier she got.
Shu Pan was confused. She didn’t know why her friend was upset and didn’t know how to comfort her.
Ye Xiaomeng looked at her friend’s confused face. Afraid that she would worry, she quickly said, “It’s nothing. I’m just throwing a tantrum with a friend.” Ye Xiaomeng combed her hair with her fingers after she finished.
Shu Pan knew that she was feeling guilty. “You’re in love.”
Shu Pan’s tone was very certain. After all, they had been good friends for years and she knew Ye Xiaomeng very well.
“It’s still early days. I’ll tell you when it’s serious.” Ye Xiaomeng said while she thought Shu Pan should become a fortune-teller because she was always right about everything. She didn’t seem to have any secrets in front of her. After all, they had known each other for so long and knew each other well.
snu pan tnrew ner an “1 Knew It” 100K Dut even It It was true, sne was very happy for her friend.
Meanwhile, He Ming was as anxious as a bee in a jar trying to find its way out.
“It’s almost time to cut the cake. Brother He, let’s go in.” Hu Shanshan looked at He Ming with her sparkly eyes.
Although He Ming was anxious, he was here at Hu Shanshan’s birthday party so he couldn’t refuse her. He figured he would just wait until the party was over before he ran back to Xiaomeng and apologized.
Seeing Hu Shanshan’s pleading gaze, He Ming kept his phone and walked into the banquet hall with her.
Ye Xiaomeng looked at the black screen on her phone and felt a little disappointed. She thought that he’d call her back immediately to explain.
Haha, she had overestimated herself. So, this was the feeling of being in love:
sweet and sour, gains mixed with losses.
“Godmother, are you unhappy? You are not playing with me.” Joy suddenly ran over and hugged her.
Ye Xiaomeng caught her and said, “Godmother is very happy. I love playing with Joy. Let’s start a new game.”
Ye Xiaomeng threw that little bit of nonsense to the back of her mind, picked up Joy, and started playing with her again.
The birthday cake was pushed out. It was a three-layer pink cake, a fine-looking piece of edible art. Hu Shanshan stood next to the cake like a princess with all her guests surrounding her.
But she pulled He Ming tightly to stand beside her, the intent behind her action obvious.
He Ming couldn’t embarrass her at such an occasion, but in his heart, he told himself to stay away from her in the future.
Amidst everyone’s anticipation and blessings, Hu Shanshan finally cut the cake and the party was coming to an end.
He Ming heaved a sigh of relief and said goodbye to Hu Shanshan.
“Brother He, is something bothering you? You’ve been distracted all night.” Hu Shanshan asked despite knowing the reason. She saw He Ming when he went out to the balcony. She thought that he was just going for a smoke. But when he didn’t come back after a long time, she went out to find him.
She heard him talking on the phone when she got close. She could guess from He Ming’s gentle tone who he was talking with so she deliberately spoke up. She wasn’t far from his phone, so she knew that the person he was speaking with could hear her.
But she was asking him now with an innocent and concerned expression on her face, which made He Ming feel bad. It wasn’t the best behavior he had exhibited at her birthday party.
“Oh, it’s just something I have to deal with at work.” He Ming explained..
