"What's wrong? Is something on your mind?"
Mingdai, who was lost in thought on the sofa, was caught by He Xingqiong.
Mingdai snapped out of her daze.
Looking at He Xingqiong, who was still wearing her business attire.
"Time to get off work."
He Xingqiong then placed her bag on the side of the sofa, smoothed her knee-length skirt, and sat down.
He Xingqiong leaned back and twisted her neck to relax.
"With my third uncle away these past few days, there's been an unusually large amount of work to do, and I'm almost too busy to handle it."
When He Xingqiong mentioned He Yaonian, Mingdai's heart suddenly clenched.
Thinking of that dream, she couldn't help but blush, and her body felt hot with shame.
Mingdai covered her face with her hand, pretending to scratch an itch.
When is Uncle San coming back?
Mingdai's throat was dry, and she was afraid that He Xingqiong would see her unusually red face, so she didn't dare to look He Xingqiong in the eye.
"Your workload will be reduced when your third uncle comes back."
He Xingqiong was really tired and didn't want to move after leaning against something, so she didn't notice Mingdai's unusual behavior.
"I don't know yet."
Seeing that He Xingqiong was so tired that her eyes were closed, Mingdai didn't say anything more.
At this moment, He Xingjian also entered, followed by several other young masters and ladies.
They were speaking in hushed tones, and it sounded like they were discussing some kind of project.
He Xingqiong perked up again, sat up, grabbed her bag, and headed upstairs.
"Is dinner ready?"
He Xingqiong complained to a nearby servant, "I'm starving to death."
The maid smiled and said, "Alright, Miss, go upstairs to change your clothes and wash your hands, then you can have dinner."
"good."
It's still early before bed.
Mingdai strolled over and knocked on He Xingqiong's door.
He Xingqiong had already taken a shower; her half-wet hair was draped over her shoulders, exuding a languid charm.
Can't sleep?
It was rare for Mingdai to seek her out, so He Xingqiong asked with a smile, "Is something on your mind?"
No way.
Mingdai pushed her away helplessly.
He Xingqiong invited Mingdai into the room, saying, "You haven't been to my room much, have you?"
He Xingqiong took Mingdai on a tour.
Mingdai stopped as she passed a display stand specifically for collecting photographs.
Her eyes quickly searched through the many photos, trying to find He Yaonian.
He Xingqiong noticed that Mingdai was interested in these photos.
"These are all interesting photos."
She put her arm around Mingdai's shoulder, "Let me introduce you to our family members."
Mingdai was slightly disappointed when she couldn't find He Yaonian.
He Xingqiong pointed to the old and new faces in the photo and chuckled to herself.
“We are a large family with many members, so you may not be able to remember all the faces.”
Of course, I'll remember the Mingdai I've met before, but as for those I haven't met... whether I remember them or not, I'll remember them all when I meet them again.
As He Xingqiong introduced them one by one, Mingdai took a moment to ask, "Why isn't Third Uncle mentioned?"
He Xingqiong suddenly stopped and stared at Mingdai meaningfully.
"You want to see Uncle Three?"
Mingdai's heart was pounding and her breathing was out of control.
"I noticed that my third uncle wasn't here, but my second and eldest uncles are all here."
Their intentions were almost discovered.
Mingdai bit her lower lip lightly, not daring to say anything more.
He Xingqiong was just teasing Mingdai.
She thought of what He Xingye had said in the group chat before, although she had later retracted it.
Is there any possibility between Mingdai and her third uncle?
No, we can't just randomly matchmake people.
Just think about it and forget about it.
“There is a third uncle.”
He Xingqiong reached behind an ornament and took a photo frame.
It's a rare candid photo of He Yaonian, dressed casually in a jacket and jeans, looking young and relaxed. He stands on a lush green lawn under the bright sunshine, looking down at two Border Collies playing with a ball at his feet.
“I took this picture secretly at a family gathering last year. My third uncle doesn’t usually like taking pictures.”
He Xingqiong proudly held up the photo, saying, "I guarantee that if this photo is released, it will go viral."
With He Yaonian's face and perfect proportions, it would be a disservice to all the face-obsessed fans if he didn't become a sensation.
"Do you dare to vote?"
Mingdai joked.
She seized the opportunity to ask, "Anything else?"
It would be even better if there were some half-naked ones.
"I don't have any here, but Uncle San's villa has some."
He Xingqiong said, "My third uncle has his own house, but this year he has been living with everyone more often."
Speaking of this, He Xingqiong was quite puzzled.
“He doesn’t actually like crowds. We tried all sorts of ways to get him to stay here more often, but he wouldn’t agree. He prefers to stay in his villa for peace and quiet every few days.”
"I don't know what's going on this year. Oh right, ever since Mo Tingchuan's family moved in, he's been spending more and more time here."
He Xingqiong suddenly had a flash of inspiration.
"Could it be that Uncle San stayed behind because he was afraid we would clash with Mo Tingchuan's family?"
Mingdai didn't know if that was the truth; all she could think about was how to see He Yaonian's lower back.
He Xingqiong put the photo frame back.
"We'll have a chance to visit Uncle San's villa, but he doesn't like being disturbed. Even we have to ask for his permission beforehand before we can go."
In that case, wouldn't there be no hope?
Mingdai couldn't sleep at all after she got back.
I opened my eyes just before dawn, having only slept for a short while, when that dream came true again.
Mingdai went to the company with dark circles under her eyes.
The assistant thought she wasn't feeling well and didn't dare let her do any work.
She also secretly told Ming's father.
Ming's father anxiously inquired about her well-being, wishing he could send his daughter home to lie down.
Mingdai rallied her spirits, determined not to let personal matters affect her work.
Lin Yang invited Mingdai to dinner and told her that Mo Qingying had received the property certificate.
