Because Master He needed to rest, Mingdai and He Yaonian came out after a brief greeting.
He Yaonian noticed that Mingdai hadn't said a word.
He reached out and gently poked the back of her hand.
"What's wrong?"
Mingdai felt it was all very unreal.
"Where did you get the confidence to be honest with them? Between you and me, we..."
She and He Yaonian had never even confirmed their feelings for each other.
How could He Yaonian be so certain that she liked him, so certain that she would be willing to be with him after divorcing Mo Tingchuan?
The two talked as they walked downstairs.
"I'm just being prepared."
He Yaonian knew that Mingdai would have various concerns.
"It's also to prevent you from backing down."
He Yaonian took Mingdai's hand.
Mingdai was still quite embarrassed.
I've never seen him hold hands so easily before. How come he takes it for granted here?
He Yaonian looked down at Mingdai's neatly trimmed nails.
"Just because of Fang Li, you've started to back down, and even kept backing down."
He Yaonian asked Mingdai, "Is that right?"
Mingdai was shocked.
How did He Yaonian know?
Seeing her reaction, He Yaonian asked, "Was it because of this emotion that you went out with Lin Yang?"
Mingdai didn't know how to face it.
He Yaonian touched Mingdai's face tenderly.
"It was my oversight. I thought that my firm rejection of Fang Li was enough to show my stance and determination, but I didn't expect it would still make you uneasy."
Mingdai shook her head, "It's not like that, it's between us..."
"I have enough of these things like status, position, and family background."
He Yaonian lifted Mingdai's chin.
Their eyes locked in a deep gaze.
“Mingdai, I, He Yaonian, do not need a marriage of equal social standing.”
Mingdai felt a chill run down her spine.
"But people will talk about you, public opinion will..."
"That won't happen."
He Yaonian and Mingdai arrived at the door of the room.
He told Mingdai, "Many bad things can be prevented in advance. Since you know it will happen, why not take precautions in advance?"
Mingdai understood this principle.
However, He Yaonian's identity cannot withstand even the slightest disturbance.
"Leaving aside the fact that I'm remarried, just considering your relationship with Mo Tingchuan, I'm afraid..."
"He can never truly become a member of the He family."
He Yaonian revealed the truth to Mingdai.
"From the day he moved into the He family villa, I never thought of acknowledging him."
Mingdai didn't understand.
"If they don't acknowledge him, why did they let his whole family move into the He family villa?"
He Yaonian did not speak.
Because of Mingdai.
His feelings for Mingdai at that time were complicated. He couldn't explain his own thoughts, but when He Yaoyuan came to threaten him, he half-heartedly complied.
"When we get back this time, everything will be resolved at once."
He Yaonian opened Mingdai's door.
"You don't look well, you should get some rest."
He Yaonian then asked, "Have you been working too hard lately? Did you bring your medication?"
Mingdai's thoughts were in disarray.
"Yes, I brought it. I was just quite busy the past few days, but we've already entered the stage of finalizing the details."
He Yaonian asked, "Do you need my help?"
"Need not."
Mingdai shook her head, "It's almost all sorted out."
He Yaonian nodded, "Okay."
He looked at Mingdai, then reached out and pulled her into his arms.
"Don't overthink it, I'll take care of everything."
Mingdai didn't sleep well that night. How could she not have all sorts of wild thoughts? She even dreamed about it...
Oh, right, dreams.
And that man.
Mingdai woke up before dawn and stayed in the room until the sun came out.
"Mingdai, are you awake?"
He Xingqiong's voice suddenly came from outside the door.
Mingdai had just finished her makeup.
She was still wearing her pajamas when she went to open the door.
As soon as He Xingqiong saw Mingdai, she pounced on her and gave her a bear hug.
"You came to L country without telling me! I almost went back home this morning!"
Mingdai was hugged and rubbed by her, and her pajamas were all messed up.
"Xingqiong, call Mingdai to have breakfast."
He Yaonian stood at the entrance of the corridor and called out to people.
He Xingqiong then released Mingdai.
"How did you sleep last night?"
She asked Mingdai, "Have you met my parents yet?"
Mingdai casually straightened her pajamas.
"I saw him."
Thinking of the kind Second Master and Second Madam.
Mingdai said sincerely, "Your parents are so kind."
"Of course not."
He Xingqiong raised her chin happily, "After my dad has rested for a while longer, he and my mom will go back to China."
Mingdai asked curiously, "Will you come back after you return to China?"
"We should stay here a little longer, no matter what."
Mingdai secretly observed He Xingqiong's reaction and felt that He Xingqiong probably didn't know that He Yaonian had confessed this matter.
That should only be known to Master He and his wife.
Mingdai breathed a sigh of relief.
She changed her clothes and went to have breakfast with He Xingqiong.
Second Master He did not come downstairs, but Second Madam He stayed upstairs with him.
Only He Yaonian and He Xingjian were in the restaurant.
Upon seeing He Xingjian, Mingdai greeted him with a smile, "Good morning."
He Xingjian asked, "Did you sleep well?"
Mingdai nodded. "Very good."
Actually, it's not good.
He Yaonian had already pulled out a chair for her.
"Sit here."
Mingdai was embarrassed.
He Yaonian was really blatant.
He Xingjian and He Xingqiong acted as if it were perfectly normal.
