Mingdai really wanted to shut He Xingqiong up.
"Don't make things up, I didn't say that."
"Oh, why worry about so much? Let's get a divorce from Mo Tingchuan first."
He Xingqiong pulled Mingdai into the rest area.
There are security guards at the entrance; not just anyone can get in.
But He Xingqiong can just use her face.
Mingdai benefited from her fame.
But Mingdai still didn't want He Xingqiong to talk nonsense in front of He Yaonian.
However, before they could stop them, He Yaonian had already appeared in front of them.
He Yaonian was handsome, mature, and imposing, followed by a number of people.
"Third Uncle!"
He Xingqiong called out to He Yaonian loudly.
Mingdai instinctively wanted to stop, but He Xingqiong held her tightly and strode forward.
Mingdai could only lift her skirt and hurry to catch up.
The two approached He Yaonian, who stopped in his tracks.
"Third Uncle, I brought Mingdai with me today as well."
He Xingqiong looked at him with sparkling eyes, as if she wanted to take credit.
When Mingdai appeared in front of these people for the first time, everyone was curious and stared at her for a moment.
Mingdai flashed a businesslike smile and nodded to everyone in turn.
Finally, she met He Yaonian's gaze.
It has been several days since we last met.
Mingdai's low mood from back then has long since disappeared, replaced by a clear sense of boundaries.
"Third Uncle."
She greeted people politely, which was the most courteous thing she could do.
He Yaonian's gaze was intense, and he nodded slightly, "Mm."
After saying hello, Mingdai tried to slip away.
He Yaonian, however, asked her to follow him.
Mingdai and He Xingqiong had already attracted a lot of attention, and now that they were following He Yaonian, it was like walking under countless spotlights.
Even with her calm and composed demeanor, Mingdai had to admit that she felt a little apprehensive.
Ming Dai didn't hear anything He Yao Nian said to others earlier; she was focused entirely on maintaining her elegance.
Fortunately, He Yaonian only chatted for a short while before being asked to leave by the organizers.
"Mingdai, keep up."
Mingdai wanted to find a quiet corner to relax, but He Yaonian called her back before she could sneak away.
Mingdai searched the entire place for He Xingqiong.
This woman brought her here but then dumped her on He Yaonian. Now she's nowhere to be seen; there's not a trace of her.
What are you looking for?
He Yaonian suddenly stopped walking, and Mingdai bumped her head into his chest without noticing.
Mingdai instinctively stepped back.
A strong hand gripped her waist, blocking her escape route.
Mingdai's mind went completely blank.
She looked up in surprise, inadvertently meeting He Yaonian's deep and dangerous black eyes.
His eyes looked like he wanted to devour her.
The sounds of the lively dance party could still be heard, with cheerful music filling the air, and people could come over at any moment.
To be precise, the organizers had already turned around, and Mingdai, her mind in turmoil, pushed He Yaonian with all her might.
"Third Uncle."
She avoided his gaze and said nervously, "Someone's there."
He Yaonian let go.
“Xingqiong went to discuss business and won’t be back for a while. She’s entrusted you to me.”
Mingdai lowered her head, her thoughts in disarray.
“I… Uncle, you don’t need to take special care of me. You probably have things to do too, so I won’t bother you any longer, I…”
"What if you get lost? How am I supposed to explain this to Xingqiong?"
He Yaonian turned around and strode away with his long legs.
He reminded Mingdai, "Keep up."
What else could Mingdai do? She couldn't leave, so she could only follow.
They followed He Yaonian into a private room, where a large round table was set up and a sumptuous meal was served.
An elderly man with gray hair stood up, leaning on a cane, to welcome Yao Nian.
"It's really not easy to see you."
He Yaonian stepped forward and shook hands with the old man. "As soon as I heard you had prepared a meal, I rushed over here."
The old man chuckled, "I bet you just find it noisy outside."
As he spoke, the old man looked at Mingdai.
It has a hidden meaning.
"Thinking about marriage?"
He was asking He Yaonian.
Mingdai was completely dumbfounded.
Just as he was about to retort, He Yaonian said, "Isn't it time?"
"Hahaha, you little rascal."
The old man laughed heartily and asked Mingdai to sit down.
"Don't stand there, are you hungry? Eat first."
Mingdai had no idea why He Yaonian hadn't denied it.
While still wondering if this old man was also one of those who pressured people to get married, He Yaonian was just afraid and that's why he was using her as an excuse.
He Yaonian pulled over the person next to him and forcefully pressed Mingdai's shoulder.
"Please sit down."
Mingdai stood frozen, observing the situation.
"Don't be shy."
Seeing that Mingdai seemed shy, the old man softened his tone, saying, "Take whatever you want to eat, otherwise it will be a waste."
He Yaonian handed chopsticks to Mingdai, saying, "Did you hear that? Don't be shy, just be at home."
Mingdai gripped her chopsticks tightly and forced a smile.
During the meal, He Yaonian chatted with the old man, recounting the old man's glorious deeds during his lifetime.
He Yaonian even had time to serve Mingdai some food.
Mingdai was indeed hungry and couldn't get a word in edgewise, so she just buried herself in her food.
By the time the old man spoke to her, she had already eaten about 80% full.
"Yao Nian is usually too busy. This kid is neither considerate nor attentive. Please bear with him."
Mingdai was numb.
Quickly put down your chopsticks and wipe your mouth.
"No, it's me and him..."
My hand was gently taken.
Mingdai choked on her words.
She mechanically looked at He Yaonian.
He Yao squeezed her palm and held on tightly.
He chatted and laughed with the old man, saying, "She is the most understanding of me, so please don't try to sow discord between us."
