Mingdai's heart was pounding wildly.
Her gaze shifted, and she found He Yaonian looking at her.
The man's eyes were distant and deep, as if hiding many secrets, yet also teasing, as if deliberately trying to tug at her heartstrings.
Mingdai quickly looked away.
He cursed himself for being crazy.
How could she have such thoughts about He Yaonian!
It must be because he is so outstanding that she couldn't help but be attracted to him.
If it were anyone else, they would have done the same.
That must be it.
No, she has to keep her distance.
Yes, a sense of boundaries.
After Mingdai finished her meal in a daze, she looked around and, to her surprise, the Mo family members had disappeared without a trace, and even He Yaoyuan was nowhere to be seen.
He Yaonian remained seated in the main seat, chatting leisurely with He Xingjian about work.
His gaze lingered on Mingdai intermittently.
He Xingjian was terrified.
He Xingjian felt a chill run down his spine, thinking that things seemed to be going much as he had guessed.
But Mingdai is still Mo Tingchuan's wife!
Mingdai quickly stood up and greeted He Yaonian.
"Third Uncle, I've finished eating, I'll be going now."
Before she could even get off the stool...
He Yaonian stared at the half-full bowl of rice in her bowl, "Why are you eating so little?"
Upon hearing this, He Xingjian first followed He Yaonian's gaze to examine the rice in Mingdai's bowl.
There was indeed more than half a bowl left.
He glanced at He Yaonian, then at Ming Dai, before asking, "No appetite?"
Mingdai gave a perfunctory reply, "Well, I ate some fruit this afternoon, and I'm a little full, so I can't eat anymore."
She got up and left.
Halfway there, Mo Qingying grabbed him and dragged him out of the villa.
When the two went outside, it was not yet completely dark.
The dim light from the streetlights illuminated Mo Qingying's expression, making her look furious and as if she had seen a ghost.
"Did you give that watch to your third uncle?"
Mingdai's wrist hurt from being pulled so hard by Mo Qingying.
These two siblings are exactly the same in their rudeness.
He shook off Mo Qingying's hand.
"What's it to you?"
"Why did you give it to Third Uncle? Do you think that by giving the watch to Third Uncle, you can stay in the He family forever?"
Mingdai remained silent.
“I never intended to stay in the He family forever. It’s you who are eager for the He family to give you a legitimate status so you can stay here forever.”
"This is our home."
Mo Qingying was furious. "You spent my brother's money to curry favor with my third uncle. Let me tell you, legally, it can be recovered. You'd better return the money to my brother right away."
Mingdai narrowed her eyes. "What? Does your brother also think this is his money?"
"Otherwise what? You're not divorced yet, it's marital property, and my brother has the right to dispose of it."
No wonder Mo Tingchuan suddenly investigated her assets.
"If that's the case, then half of your brother's company belongs to me, including his property, car, and other assets. I'm just spending my own money, so why are you in such a hurry?"
"You're dreaming. The company belongs to my brother, the house was bought with his own money, and so was the car. What right do you have to split it with him?"
“We are husband and wife! Like you said, it’s marital property, so I have the right to dispose of it.”
"you!"
Unable to win an argument with Mingdai, Mo Qingying then used Qin Weiwei to attack Mingdai.
"You just wait. The day Qin Weiwei moves into the He family, you'll be kicked out immediately."
Mingdai smiled enigmatically, "I await good news."
"brazen!"
No matter how much Mo Qingying shouted, she was still in the wrong.
Mo Qingying could hardly deny that Mingdai had helped the Mo family rise again.
Having successfully angered Mo Qingying, Ming Dai laughed a few times in a good mood.
"So happy?"
He Yaonian appeared out of nowhere.
Mingdai was startled.
Wasn't he just chatting with He Xing about work in the restaurant?
"Third Uncle."
He turned around and greeted them respectfully.
Remembering the unusual thoughts that occasionally crossed her mind about He Yaonian, she silently took another step back.
"What were you talking about with Mo Qingying just now?"
He Yaonian pretended not to see Ming Dai deliberately taking a step back to keep her distance.
She stepped back, he stepped forward.
Mingdai quietly withdrew again.
"She said Qin Weiwei is moving in here soon, and I'll be kicked out then."
He Yaonian took a big step closer, showing no respect for Ming Dai.
"Refund what?"
Mingdai gasped for breath.
The indescribable scent of male hormones emanating from He Yaonian, mixed with a faint fragrance, wafted into her nostrils.
It smells wonderful, but it's deadly.
She froze on the spot like a nail.
"I don't."
She denied it, then looked angrily at the ground.
The withered petals drifted here on the wind, creating a beautiful scene under the streetlights.
"Who would dare kick you out?"
He Yaonian knew that Mingdai was angry.
He's quite short-tempered; he hasn't been back here for several days because of this.
"When did Mo Qingying acquire such abilities?"
He Yaonian bent down and looked down at Mingdai.
Mingdai kept turning her face away, not letting He Yaonian see.
The two acted like sulking children, one getting angry and the other trying to coax and appease her.
He Yaonian felt that Mingdai was extremely cute at this moment.
"Why aren't you saying anything? Hmm? Is Mo Qingying going to personally kick you out?"
If Mingdai twisted her neck any further, it would snap with a crack.
She had no choice but to turn to the side.
A muffled, gruff voice.
"It's all thanks to her third uncle's influence. But it won't be long before she becomes the real young lady of this villa. It's only natural for her to drive away an outsider like me."
Listening to the sour tone, He Yaonian chuckled inwardly.
"Aren't you and Mo Tingchuan getting a divorce? Whether you live in the He family villa or not doesn't really matter to you, does it?"
Mingdai felt a heart attack upon hearing this.
It's as if her interactions with everyone here could be erased at any moment. Even her seemingly familiar relationship with He Yaonian could be ruthlessly forgotten by He Yaonian after she leaves.
Mingdai felt wronged, and her nose tingled with tears.
I can't explain why, but I just feel extremely sad that He Yaonian has forgotten me.
"right."
Mingdai sniffed.
Then I realized how ridiculous I was.
She and He Yaonian were just strangers who met by chance, and she only got to stay here because of Mo Tingchuan.
Even if some feelings were revealed in the truth, to He Yaonian, they were just passersby.
"Then I hope my third uncle can help me get a divorce from Mo Tingchuan as soon as possible."
Mingdai composed herself, blinked rapidly a few times to completely clear the stinging sensation in her eyes.
She looked at He Yaonian with a distant and indifferent expression.
"I imagine that once Mo Tingchuan becomes the young master of the He family, he will enjoy endless wealth and riches. The He family won't care about his current assets. Third Uncle knows his assets very well. Why don't you use your influence to transfer those assets to my name? It would be a way for the Ming family to repay the Mo family for their help over the past three years."
Mingdai looked away and gazed into the distance.
"I didn't ask for much; it's just returning it to its rightful owner."
