Chapter 51
"President He, Madam, young master is back!"
President He Yuanhao and Madam He Bai Mengtao, who were chatting leisurely in the living room, couldn't help but raise their eyebrows when they heard the joyful and excited voice of Housekeeper Zhao.
Housekeeper Zhao was already in her fifties this year. She had been with the He family for thirty years. They had never seen her like this before.
Bai Mengtao couldn't help laughing. "Sister Zhao, it's just that little rascal Junting coming back, what's so exciting about it."
"Exactly, that brat always has a long face. It's not like I owe him money. Seeing him just annoys me!" He Yuanhao said grumpily.
"No...it's not like that. The young master is back hugging a girl." Housekeeper Zhao explained immediately.
Bai Mengtao looked unimpressed. "Oh my, I thought something had happened. Turns out Junting is back hugging a girl... What! Did you say Junting is back home hugging a girl?"
Bai Mengtao stared wide-eyed in disbelief. He Yuanhao almost choked on the tea he had just sipped into his mouth.
"Yes, Madam!" Housekeeper Zhao said excitedly!
"Are you sure it's not that little girl Mengmeng?" He Yuanhao asked.
"Definitely not!" Housekeeper Zhao was very sure. Judging from the figure, it was not her. Besides, if it was Miss Mengmeng, she would have sent her back to the Ye family directly this late at night instead of bringing her home.
As she spoke, He Junting walked in carrying Xu Wanwan.
He Yuanhao and Bai Mengtao saw with their own eyes that their son had indeed brought a girl back, looking as if they had seen a ghost.
Bai Mengtao immediately stood up excitedly from the sofa and walked up to her son, asking gossipingly, "My son! Where did you kidnap this girl from? I mean, where did you bring this little girl back from?"
As she spoke, she leaned forward to see what the girl looked like.
Seeing his mother's gossipy look, He Junting was speechless. He tilted his body to dodge her and said helplessly, "Mom, it's not what you think. She is Mengmeng’s friend. Something happened and Mengmeng asked me to take care of her for a while."
Bai Mengtao looked as if saying "Don't try to fool me" and nodded, "Oh I see, I understand~"
He Junting: ...No, you don't!
The housekeeper came up at the right time with a smile and asked, "Young Master, is this girl drunk? Do you need me to make some sober-up soup?"
He Junting: "No need, just plain water will do."
After speaking, he headed upstairs towards the guest room.
Bai Mengtao looked at her son's back with a smile, full of gratification. Her son had grown up and finally learned how to court girls.
"Dear, I thought our son would end up alone for life. I didn't expect him to find a girlfriend even before graduating from university. He has far exceeded my expectations."
"That damn brat, always so cold. I wonder if the girl was coerced. How could she fall for him!" He Yuanhao said with a smiling face but unkind words.
"I have to let Junyan know about this." She then made a video call to her daughter He Junyan who was on the other side of the planet, "Haha Junyan, let me tell you, your brother's iron tree has finally blossomed..."
He Junting put Xu Wanwan on the large bed in the guest room. Thinking of the misunderstanding downstairs, he scratched his head vigorously.
At this time, Housekeeper Zhao came upstairs with a cup of honey water and asked, "Young Master, do you need me to help change her clothes, or will you do it yourself..."
"Auntie Zhao, you change her clothes," He Junting interrupted immediately. "Just find her some clean clothes."
Housekeeper Zhao responded with a smile and put the water glass on the bedside table before leaving the room to get clothes.
He Junting also went out. With Auntie Zhao taking care of her, he didn't need to worry.
Realizing he hadn't replied to Ye Jinmeng, he took out his phone and started typing.
Junting: Mengmeng, the doctor said she's fine. She just needs some sleep. Now she's at my home. Come to my place after you get back.
Ye Jinmeng, who was lying in bed ready to fall asleep, was startled by the notification sound. After reading the message, she got very excited and let out a prairie dog scream under her blanket.
"Ahhh!!! The progress is so fast!!! Brother Junting has brought Wanwan home. That's like meeting the parents already! Meeting parents means getting engaged soon. Then they'll be getting married soon! Ahhh!!! Does that mean I'll have a little nephew soon!"
"No, should it be grandnephew or grandniece? Ahhh!!! Doesn't matter, I should buy gifts for my future son-in-law or daughter-in-law!"
Saying that, she opened Taobao and started browsing all kinds of baby products and toys...
He Junting didn't dare go back downstairs. He returned to his room and headed into the bathroom to take a shower. It had been an exhausting night.
Just as he had finished his shower, he heard a knock on the door.
"Young Master, that young lady keeps calling your name. Would you like to go over to check on her?" Auntie Zhao's worried voice came from outside the door.
He Junting sighed, wrapped himself in a bathrobe, and walked towards the guest room.
"Junting...I'm sorry." As he entered the guest room, he heard Xu Wanwan sobbing softly.
Housekeeper Zhao had already wiped Xu Wanwan's body with a towel and changed her into pajamas. He Junting walked over to see tears rolling down her still closed eyes.
In her dream, Xu Wanwan was looking at an empty grass field but couldn't find He Junting anywhere.
"Junting, I miss you so much. Why don't you come see me?"
He Junting felt a stabbing pain in his heart, unwilling to see Xu Wanwan's sad look for some reason.
He couldn't help leaning down to wipe away her tears, gently calling out, "Wanwan, don't cry. I'm here."
As if hearing the familiar voice, Xu Wanwan's emotions gradually calmed down and she stopped sleep talking.
He Junting stood by the bed staring at Xu Wanwan, his eyes gloomy.
Xu Wanwan, what secret are you hiding that makes my heart ache? Why do I feel hurt when I don't even have memories of you in my mind?
Auntie Zhao standing by the door almost popped her eyes out. She thought her young master was already gentle enough with Miss Mengmeng. She didn't expect him to be even more tender with this girl!
She had to hurry downstairs to tell Madam the good news!
