Even if He Ming was obtuse, he could tell that Hu Shanshan had an ulterior motive when she asked him for a ride. But she was the daughter of his mother’s friend and he also treated her like a sister, so he couldn’t do much.
He could only avoid her as much as possible.
“Let’s go. I’ll send you home.” He Ming went to open the front door after he said that.
“Thank you, Brother He.” Hu Shanshan picked up her bag and said shyly.
After bidding farewell to Mrs. He, Hu Shanshan quickly followed He Ming out.
Mrs. He only came back to her senses after they walked far away and started tidying up.
Suddenly, she saw the exquisite gift box on the chair and guessed that it was Hu Shanshan’s gift for He Ming.
She thought that Ming was too careless to leave Hu Shanshan’s gift for him at home again.
But she remembered that her son was a grown man who didn’t pay attention to such things, so she casually unwrapped the gift.
It turned out to be a shirt. She praised Shanshan for being so meticulous and bought the color that He Ming often wore.
Mrs. He didn’t know fashion brands but she recognized this luxury brand. It was expensive because the cut, fabric, and workmanship of the shirt were all first-rate.
She carefully unfolded the shirt and hung it on a hanger.
In the car, Hu Shanshan felt a little nervous when she saw He Ming’s cold face.
“Brother He, I’m sorry. I know that you’re busy, yet Auntie asked you to send me home.” Hu Shanshan said apologetically.
“It’s fine. It won’t take too much time.” He Ming replied plainly but he was complaining in his heart why she didn’t say no if she knew that he was busy.
Although He Ming was reluctant, he was still a gentleman. He didn’t show his displeasure. After all, girls were generally thin-skinned.
Hu Shanshan felt better when she heard him say that.
Did she do something wrong and annoyed her Brother He?
He Ming was busy thinking about his date tonight as he drove.
However, he couldn’t ignore the fact that there was a young woman in his car because the smell of her perfume kept attacking his nose. It was very sweet and hard to ignore.
He found the smell pungent and wanted to sneeze.
Luckily, her house wasn’t too far away. When they arrived, Hu Shanshan said goodbye to He Ming before she left reluctantly.
Hu Shanshan wasn’t calm either during the ride. She kept thinking about He Ming’s date with that woman tonight.
Did she have no chance at all?
No, she had a chance as long as they weren’t married. Hu Shanshan was not discouraged.
Because her family was rich, there was nothing she couldn’t get.
Anyway, this matter still required some detailed planning.
After Hu Shanshan left, He Ming quickly rolled down all the car windows to let the wind take away the overpowering fragrance in his car.
He Ming looked at the time. It was still the afternoon. Since Xiaomeng was taking a nap, he didn’t want to disturb her, so he turned his car around and went to Gu Shaoting’s house.
What He Ming told Mrs. He earlier was just an excuse.
Shaoting sounded upset when he called him earlier. He should go and check on his friend.
He guessed that Gu Shaoting would be at home. He was right. When Gu Shaoting came to the front door, He Ming could smell the alcohol on him. That was a sure sign that Gu Shaoting was upset.
“Ming, sit.” Gu Shaoting felt very envious when he saw He Ming’s happy and excited face.
“What happened?” He Ming asked in confusion. Wasn’t everything fine recently? There wasn’t any trouble at the compony too…
“Trying to understand a woman is like trying to read a book written in a language you don’t speak.” Gu Shaoting said cryptically. But when He Ming heard him mention woman, he knew that Gu Shaoting was upset about Shu
pan.
Sigh, he really didn’t know how to help his friend with matters of the heart….
