Mingdai's eyelids twitched.
Consciously admit your mistakes.
"I'm sorry, I made Uncle worry."
He Yaonian asked, "Why didn't you say goodbye when you left?"
Mingdai was in the wrong.
The voice was very soft, "I've already called. I told the housekeeper."
Was I not home at the time?
Mingdai nervously bit her lip.
“...I was afraid of disturbing my third uncle’s work.”
"You're usually not afraid of being disturbed, so why are you afraid of being disturbed today?"
They don't mind being disturbed normally.
Mingdai wanted to refute.
She would only visit He Yaonian when he wasn't busy.
Besides, she only contacts him a handful of times.
Oh well, it's all her fault anyway, she shouldn't have made He Yaonian worry.
"sorry."
Mingdai obediently admitted her mistake, hoping that He Yaonian would let her go.
He Yaonian sat still, his tone cold.
"Where did you go?"
Mingdai secretly watched him.
"……Hospital."
He Yaonian's expression turned fierce. "Did you go looking for Mo Tingchuan?"
Mingdai's throat went dry. "No, not at all."
"Why are you looking for him?"
Mingdai thought for a moment, "Li Jianshe went to the hospital to see Mo Tingchuan today, so I wanted to catch him in the act."
"Did you catch them?"
"We've caught them."
What was Li Jianshe's reaction?
"Restless."
Where is Mo Tingchuan?
"He has amnesia, so he doesn't remember anything."
"You've been staying here all this time?"
He Yaonian's gaze was deep and unfathomable, as if he could see into the depths of Mingdai's soul.
Mingdai dared not lie.
"No."
He Yaonian was very angry, his eyes were half-closed.
"Then why are you only coming back now?"
Mingdai didn't want to talk about it.
She mustered her courage and took two steps closer to He Yaonian.
"Third Uncle, I know I was wrong. I will definitely report to you as soon as I go out in the future."
He Yaonian remained unmoved.
"to be honest."
Mingdai lowered her head, unable to bear the torment any longer.
"I went to play."
He Yaonian closed his eyes briefly.
"Where did you go to play?"
Mingdai raised her hands and swore, "I didn't drink any alcohol, not a drop, and I didn't go to any places where I drank alcohol."
Why is she so guilty?
She's such a grown woman, can't she play?
It's not very late now, just past nine o'clock.
Even if she shouldn't have gone out without saying goodbye, she shouldn't have left without telling He Yaonian when she didn't want to come back.
But……
But she was upset and didn't really want to play billiards; she just felt that Fang Li's words had filled her mind.
She couldn't stop her mind from wandering.
She and He Yaonian haven't even gotten to know each other yet, but she's already experiencing anxiety and internal conflict.
How can she be so love-obsessed?
Why can't she just work hard and earn money?
What's so great about men anyway? Why does she keep thinking about men all day long?
Looking at Ming Dai's aggrieved and pitiful appearance, He Yaonian didn't really want to do anything to her.
He Yaonian simply couldn't accept any more mishaps to Mingdai.
"What did you play? Who did you play with?"
He Yaonian insisted that Mingdai tell him.
He was curious to know what new friends Mingdai had recently made, whether it was going to amusement parks or other places.
He only got back now, and that was after he called to ask.
What about after that?
Are you going to stay out all night?
Mingdai was forced into a corner.
All I could do was mumble and obediently tell the truth.
"Billiards, and Lin Yang."
Upon hearing the name Lin Yang, He Yaonian fell completely silent.
Mingdai felt that He Yaonian was about to slap her.
It wasn't a real slap, but the rage emanating from He Yaonian felt like a tangible force striking her.
Mingdai was at a loss, nervously licking her lower lip repeatedly.
What a terrible thing!
She shouldn't go out to play anymore.
Even if it means dying from internal strife, she'll lock herself in her room and let it all simmer by herself.
well!
I only played it once.
Maybe she should move out.
Whenever she encounters a problem related to He Yaonian, she either backs down or retreats.
He Yaonian's prestige and status...
She could never reach that level in her lifetime.
Mingdai looked dejected.
The atmosphere was heavy.
After a while, He Yaonian asked, "Who did you go to the amusement park with?"
Mingdai was determined to die.
"Lin Yang."
He Yaonian suddenly stood up and went upstairs without saying a word.
Mingdai watched his resolute departing figure.
She gave a self-deprecating laugh.
That's settled then.
The next day, Mingdai skipped breakfast and went straight to work.
He Xingqiong also asked He Xingjian.
Why did Mingdai leave so early?
He Xingye also asked, "Didn't she come back last night?"
He Xingqiong thought for a moment, "She should have come back. I think I even heard her enter the room."
He Xingjian remained silent.
He Yaonian, who was standing next to him, had such a dark expression that he was almost frozen in place.
We finally finished eating.
He Xingjian then called the housekeeper over.
"Did something happen between my third uncle and Mingdai last night?"
The butler was at a loss for words when asked.
"No."
The butler thought for a moment.
"Oh right, last night around evening, Miss Ming came in and told me she was going out. Then, around nine o'clock, I saw her car come back from outside."
"Third Master should have already gone back to his room by then."
Although He Xingjian did not know the specifics, he had a very clear understanding of He Yaonian's emotions.
This matter is most likely related to Mingdai.
