Meng Yuan's lips were already pressed against his.
"Mmm~" He Mingrun was very nervous, holding the delicate body in his arms tightly. Her waist was so slender, he could encircle it with one hand. It was so soft, making him unable to stop.
He Mingrun unconsciously held her tighter. He felt exceptionally good. He was naturally indifferent and didn't have many desires for women. Meng Yuan was the only woman who aroused his desire.
Jiang Nuan was right, he was very insecure.
But he damn well liked this insecurity.
"Hoo..." Meng Yuan herself was so breathless that she finally let go of He Mingrun.
He Mingrun looked at her with amusement. Her little face was flushed red, her breathing disordered. With every inhale and exhale, she was particularly adorable!
"Am I drowning?" Meng Yuan felt like she couldn't breathe.
After saying that, she softly collapsed into He Mingrun's arms and fell fast asleep.
He Mingrun: "..."
He smiled silently. What a tormenting little vixen.
Looking at the girl in his arms sleeping soundly again, he was shocked. She could fall asleep so quickly?
He had already ordered dinner. Did this little woman really not feel hungry?
Just then, the doorbell rang. He Mingrun got up to open the door, and it was precisely the dinner he had ordered.
He brought the dinner back, placed it in the thermal container, and then turned back to the room.
As he reached the room door, his phone suddenly vibrated. He took it out and saw it was his assistant.
"Hello!" His voice was deep and pleasant.
"President, have you seen the news?" the assistant asked.
He Mingrun: "What news?"
The assistant said, "President, did you go to the KTV today? You even came out holding a woman, and the media took pictures. The news is all over it now."
A sharp glint flashed across He Mingrui's eyes. "Okay, I got it. I'll take a look first."
He Mingrun hung up the phone and opened the news to read. He saw the headline.
"He Group Heir and His Girlfriend Interact Intimately, Full of Affection"
He skimmed through the content and photos below, but the more he read, the uglier his expression became.
The subjects in the content turned out to be him and Yang Minjing.
In the photos, the woman he was holding looked incredibly sweet.
Below, there was a line of bold text: "The person I love the most."
The girl's face was buried in his chest. The exposed figure was sexy and perfect. Just looking at the photo, the atmosphere was extremely sweet.
However, the woman in his arms had been replaced by Yang Minjing.
He didn't need to think to know who was behind this.
He quickly dialed his mother's phone number.
"He Mingrun, where are you? Hurry up and get back here!" Wu Yuan's tone was very bad and extremely authoritative.
He Mingrun simply asked indifferently, "Did you do this online thing?"
"That's right. Come back and marry Jingjing. He Mingrun, I'm telling you, don't even think about marrying that woman. I will not agree. Your wife must be from a suitable background. If you don't listen, you know my methods." Wu Yuan said proudly.
An arm cannot twist a thigh. This time, she was sure she could win against her son.
He Mingrun looked out the window. The sun was setting. The fiery clouds reflected an orange glow through the thin cirrus clouds. It was beautiful.
But his heart was cold.
"Don't worry. If that woman suffers any accident because of me, you will lose me." His tone was very calm, but Wu Yuan heard it with trepidation.
"He Mingrun, are you threatening me?" Wu Yuan said through gritted teeth.
"No, I'm just stating what I want to do. She was innocently implicated because of me. In that case, I will leave the He family, go abroad, and never return."
He Mingrun hung up after he finished speaking.
"He Mingrun, you little brat. You've grown up, your wings have hardened, and you dare to go against me?" Wu Yuan yelled loudly, but as soon as she looked, her son had already hung up the phone.
"Hmph! You brat. You are my son after all. You can't beat me." Wu Yuan stomped her feet and roared.
Old Madam He also came to find Wu Yuan after seeing what was on the internet.
She had met Meng Yuan. The woman in Mingrun's arms was not Yang Minjing, but Meng Yuan.
Old Madam had watched the entire process.
She walked over with a stern demeanor and looked at Wu Yuan, "Are you trying to kill your son?"
"Haven't your sister-in-law's affairs taught you a bloody lesson?"
"That's not just anyone, that's your son, your son whom you raised through hardship. Yet you are planning to trap and harm him like this. What's the difference between you and those who want his life in the business world?"
Wu Yuan was stunned and turned to look at her mother-in-law behind her.
She was also full of anger and jumped up, "Mom, this is a matter between my son and me. You don't need to interfere. Anyway, I decide what kind of wife he marries?"
She could concede in any other matter, but not this one.
This was related to the reputation of their He family. He was the eldest son and must marry a young lady from a prominent family with a matching background.
Old Madam He smiled, feeling very heartbroken. She said earnestly, "Alright then, just wait to collect your son's body. You know your son's personality better than I do. He has listened to you in everything since he was a child, but when it comes to love, he wants to choose freely."
"But what have you done? You have controlled his life for more than twenty years, isn't that enough?"
Old Madam He's biggest regret was sacrificing her daughter's happiness for an arranged marriage, which ultimately harmed her and caused Little Jiu to lose his mother.
Her daughter was very beautiful. When she stood in a crowd, she seemed to glow, firmly attracting the attention of many boys.
At that time, she was very proud to have a talented and beautiful daughter whom others envied.
But for the sake of profit, an arranged marriage shortened her life within a few short years.
Wu Yuan and her mother-in-law had never gotten along. She had always thought she held the dominant position in such matters.
"Mom, Mingrun is not like my sister-in-law. When my sister-in-law married into the Mu family, they never treated her poorly. They were always very good to her. It was she who didn't like staying in that family, which is why her life was cut short within a few short years. Mingrun is a man. When he marries Jingjing, he will understand that marrying a wife of equal social standing will save him trouble and effort."
"He will understand my good intentions."
Old Madam He looked at the stubborn woman and said nothing more. She couldn't reason with her. Some things, she hadn't experienced yet.
"Forget it. I'm old, and I don't have the energy to argue with you anymore. However, I want to tell you one thing: what you did today has touched Little Run's reverse scale. He has already left this house, and it's not far from leaving this house completely." After speaking, Old Madam He slowly returned to the courtyard.
Wu Yuan looked at the old lady's retreating back and finally smiled. "Old Madam He, after so many years, you finally admit you're old. After so many years, how much grief have I suffered under your hand? You are so much older than me. If you can last a few more years, won't I be the one in charge in this house?" Wu Yuan smiled heartily. Your precious son is still under my control, whatever I say goes?
