Chapter 648: Retreat for Advance

Yao Ning knew that everyone was upset at the moment, so she had to intervene.

This was a strategic retreat; at least now He Ming would be grateful to her and wouldn't suspect her of ulterior motives.

After Yao Ning left, He Ming returned to the living room. Mother He was flipping through channels on the TV remote, clearly trying to find something to occupy herself, but nothing seemed to satisfy her.

He Ming knew she was venting her frustration.

He remained silent, quietly accompanying her.

"You two can get married, but don't expect me to treat her well," Mother He stated her attitude first.

"Mom, why bother? You're about to become a grandmother. Why fuss over these things?" He Ming had to bring up the child.

Indeed, the child was Mother He's soft spot.

Sure enough, Mother He's eyes softened. "You two are busy with work. I can help take care of the child, but as for Xiaomeng, don't expect me to be friendly."
