Chapter 10 Choosing to Stand By

Although Tong Mengdi's boyfriend is Hu Mingkai, both Liu Lian and Hu Mingkai himself are well aware that Tong Mengdi's heart belongs to He Yao. Due to the fact that both Tong Mengdi and Hu Mingkai are quite busy at work, they actually seldom see each other in daily life. In sharp contrast to this is the situation with He Yao. Tong Mengdi and He Yao not only work in the same company but are almost together every day, which is what makes Hu Mingkai jealous. However, what concerns Hu Mingkai is not just this. It's also that Tong Mengdi clearly knows that he minds the matter between her and He Yao, yet she completely ignores Hu Mingkai's feelings and doesn't pay attention to the boundaries of her relationship with He Yao. This is what Hu Mingkai can't tolerate. Hu Mingkai has been working these days and has refrained from contacting Tong Mengdi. His intention is obvious, which is to see if Tong Mengdi will contact him. But Tong Mengdi at this time seems to act as if nothing has happened. She still goes to work, gets off work, and has lunch with He Yao at noon. At noon today, the two were having lunch together again. But now He Yao is not very willing to talk to Tong Mengdi. Tong Mengdi was talking, but He Yao seemed very perfunctory. Seeing his appearance, Tong Mengdi thought he was not feeling well, so she immediately showed concern for him.

"Why aren't you eating?"

"Have you made up with Lao Hu?" He Yao asked.

Tong Mengdi replied expressionlessly, "No."

"Why not?" He Yao continued to ask.

"It's clearly his problem. If he doesn't come to me, am I supposed to take the initiative to find him?"

"Mengdi, you don't need to consider my feelings. If you need me to, I can explain to Lao Hu."

"No need."

"I'm sorry." He Yao looked at Tong Mengdi with an apologetic face.

"Why are you apologizing again? I've told you that my issues with him have nothing to do with you."

A case of content theft: this narrative is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.

Although Tong Mengdi said so, seeing that Tong Mengdi has conflicts with Hu Mingkai because of him every time, He Yao still feels very self - reproachful. Even though Tong Mengdi said she didn't need He Yao to explain to Hu Mingkai, He Yao still thinks that this matter is ultimately caused by him, so he feels it necessary to have a good talk and explain to Hu Mingkai. After work, He Yao went to invite Hu Mingkai. Although Hu Mingkai said he didn't want to see He Yao, He Yao said he had to meet Hu Mingkai. Hu Mingkai had no choice but to agree. Thus, the two made an appointment. Although he agreed to the meeting, Hu Mingkai was not enthusiastic at all when facing He Yao. Perhaps out of habit, He Yao was the first to speak when looking at Hu Mingkai.

"Lao Hu, Mengdi told me that you two haven't made up yet."

"Hehe, she really tells you everything." Hu Mingkai said disdainfully.

"What you think of me doesn't matter. But she's your girlfriend. I think you should trust her." He Yao said.

"He Yao, so you still know she's my girlfriend. I'd like to ask you, what do you mean by caring so much about my girlfriend?"

"We're friends, of course we need to care about each other."

"But she's my girlfriend. She only needs my care. She doesn't need the care of other men."

"Okay, I understand."

Although He Yao was quite annoyed by Hu Mingkai's words, for Tong Mengdi's sake, he didn't say anything and chose to leave. But at this moment, Hu Mingkai was in a completely different mood. Tong Mengdi is his girlfriend, and the two of them quarreled because of He Yao. Tong Mengdi not only told He Yao everything, but now He Yao actually came to blame him. Tong Mengdi's behavior was really hard for Hu Mingkai to accept, and it even touched his bottom line. After work in the evening, Hu Mingkai came to Tong Mengdi's apartment. After waiting for a while, Tong Mengdi came back from work. Seeing Hu Mingkai coming to her, Tong Mengdi thought he was coming to apologize and even asked him to go upstairs. But Tong Mengdi's proposal was rejected by Hu Mingkai. Hu Mingkai just said that they could have a chat downstairs. Looking at Hu Mingkai's not - so - good expression, Tong Mengdi then realized that Hu Mingkai might not be coming to apologize today. Perhaps because she was a bit confused, Tong Mengdi, who was completely at a loss, asked first.

"What's wrong?"

"Tong Mengdi, you're not that forgetful, are you?" Hu Mingkai asked.

Tong Mengdi said, puzzled, "What do you mean? I don't understand."

"Keep pretending. You two really know how to play along." Hu Mingkai said with a face full of disdain.

"Two? Who are you referring to?"
