He Xingqiong's gaze was even more intense than a raging fire.
Mingdai hesitated to press the dial button after receiving the number.
"What are you afraid of? Uncle San doesn't eat people."
He Xingqiong dialed the number directly when Mingdai wasn't paying attention.
The phone vibrated in Mingdai's hand, and Mingdai stared at He Xingqiong with wide eyes.
"Hello!"
The call was answered quickly, the voice low and emotionless.
"where?"
Mingdai's mouth opened and closed.
This young elder was so authoritative that she was filled with awe.
"Third Uncle, I am Mingdai."
The world is quiet.
There was no sound from He Yaonian's end.
Mingdai Machinery and He Xingqiong looked at each other.
Normally loud and boisterous, He Xingqiong was unusually quiet at this moment, her mouth as if it had been sewn shut.
It felt like a long time had passed.
He Yaonian gave a soft "hmm," but his expression remained unreadable.
"Hmm, what is it?"
Mingdai wanted to cough, to clear all the tension from her throat.
He Xingqiong quickly nudged her, signaling her to get down to business.
Mingdai pressed one hand to her forehead, her eyes lowered, and her long eyelashes fluttered uneasily.
"Third Uncle, I'd like to invite you to dinner."
It wasn't easy to speak, but Mingdai finished speaking in one breath.
"Thank you for taking me to the hospital and saving me. I wonder if Uncle San has time?"
After speaking, Mingdai unconsciously bit her lip, nervously waiting for He Yaonian's reply.
He Yaonian did not refuse.
"when?"
Mingdai smiled and said, "When is a convenient day for you, Third Uncle? I was thinking of the next couple of days. What do you think?"
"Aren't you still in the hospital?"
"Oh, I can be discharged tomorrow, I'm all better now."
"Then let's do it tomorrow night."
This can also be considered a celebration of her safe discharge from the hospital.
The next day at noon, He Xingqiong came to pick up Mingdai from the hospital.
Mingdai felt a little embarrassed. "Didn't I tell you not to come? You have to go to work, it must be tiring."
He Xingqiong really likes Mingdai.
"Those heartless bastards from the Mo family haven't even come to the hospital these past two days. You really don't plan to divorce Mo Tingchuan?"
Mingdai had little luggage, except for a small bag containing her personal belongings.
After much hesitation, all I could say was, "The situation is rather complicated."
Mingdai had no way of telling He Xingqiong the truth.
"Don't tell me you love him."
He Xingqiong reached out and poked Mingdai's forehead before opening the car door.
"Love requires the other person to be worthy. Don't blame me for being harsh, but although we've only known each other for a few days, I know Mo Tingchuan quite well. I know I shouldn't interfere in your marriage, but Mo Tingchuan is a bastard. Being with him is just pure suffering for you."
A large bouquet of beautiful flowers sat in the passenger seat, and He Xingqiong's straightforward and warm-hearted advice rang in my ears.
Not everyone in the world is ungrateful and treacherous. The He family may seem high and mighty, but in reality, all the young masters and ladies inside are kind and sincere.
Mingdai looked at He Xingqiong with emotion, her eyes red.
He Xingqiong sighed helplessly, "Alright, I won't say anymore. Do you like the flowers?"
Mingdai nodded vigorously, "I like it."
"Let's go, let's choose a restaurant."
The connection between people is truly wondrous. Even though we've only known each other for a few days, we can instantly feel like old friends, our magnetic fields so perfectly aligned.
After choosing a restaurant and ordering drinks and food, He Xingqiong had to go to her company, so Mingdai took a taxi back to the He family home.
In the living room, He Yaoyuan was talking to Mo Tingchuan.
"The bottle was indeed taken for testing, and I guess the results are already in, with your third uncle."
He Yaoyuan also learned about it by chance from the servants.
"We must find a way to destroy it; we can't afford to give your third uncle any leverage over us."
Mingdai didn't hear what the two were saying and wasn't interested, so she planned to go upstairs directly.
Mo Tingchuan was somewhat stunned when he saw Mingdai enter.
Why are you back?
He Yaoyuan noticed the small bag that Mingdai was carrying.
He turned his head and asked Mo Tingchuan coldly.
Have you been to the hospital in the past two days?
Mo Tingchuan frowned in annoyance and looked away.
He didn't want to go; if he went, Mingdai would definitely make a scene, and he wouldn't be able to calm down no matter what.
Seeing Mingdai return, Mo Tingchuan realized that she had been discharged from the hospital.
She walked towards Mingdai before He Yaoyuan could speak again.
"Why didn't you tell me you were being discharged? How did you get back?"
He pretended to take the small bag from Mingdai's hand.
Mingdai avoided it.
"You're so busy, how could I possibly bother you?"
Ming Dai nodded politely to He Yaoyuan and went upstairs.
He Yaoyuan had no choice but to criticize Mo Tingchuan.
"What did I tell you before? You have to at least put on a good show."
Mo Tingchuan, who was being scolded, was not happy.
“She’s not a child. Even if I didn’t pick her up, she came back on her own.”
Mo Tingchuan reassured He Yaoyuan.
"Nothing will happen. At most, she'll throw a little tantrum. She won't dare to do anything serious."
The father and son suddenly looked at each other, and a consensus gradually formed in their eyes.
Mingdai, who was upstairs, was busy washing up and getting ready.
Tonight is crucial; she must be in high spirits and full of energy.
When Mo Tingchuan came in, Mingdai had almost finished her makeup.
Are you going out?
Mo Tingchuan paused for a moment before thoughtfully approaching the dressing table and examining Ming Dai in the mirror as she applied lipstick with a lip brush.
Mingdai's black hair was still slightly damp, her beautiful face was lightly made up, her thick eyelashes were curled and delicate, and she smelled fresh and pleasant after her bath.
