"Oh? Congratulations! What's up? Did Xiaomeng accept your proposal?" Gu Shaoting put down what he was doing, eager for gossip.
"Yeah, she said yes. I'm getting ready for the wedding, and there's another piece of good news: I'm going to be a dad," He Ming announced happily.
"Wow, double happiness for you then," Gu Shaoting teased, but he was genuinely happy for his friend.
"It feels surreal, like a dream. Before I met Xiaomeng, I never thought about getting married or having children," He Ming reflected, aware of his past recklessness.
"Marriage is wonderful. Take your time to enjoy it. You go ahead and focus on your own affairs; I've got things under control at the company," Gu Shaoting, speaking from experience, shared some wisdom.
"Thanks, I appreciate it." After chatting for a while, He Ming bid farewell to Gu Shaoting and left.
In the afternoon, Gu Shaoting canceled his social engagements and went home early.
