Chapter 1110: Chapter 1110: Long Time No See.

Shen Mianmian’s emotions had gradually calmed down, and the driver had already driven her to the He Family’s old mansion. Shen Mianmian stood at the door, suddenly lacking the courage to enter.

The person she had yearned for over the past five years was inside, and Shen Mianmian suddenly hesitated.

Regardless of how firm and believing she had appeared in front of Tang Ling, they had, after all, been apart for five years. Xingxing was indeed before her eyes, and furthermore, He Nan had clearly been back for some time but hadn’t sought her out.

Did all this prove that, in He Nan’s eyes, she had become a thing of the past?

He Nan’s absence—was it because he hadn’t yet decided how to handle her and Tang Ling?

Or perhaps, he was still hesitating between staying with Tang Ling or being with her?

If she hadn’t unexpectedly become pregnant back then, if there hadn’t been Xiaobei, would He Nan have chosen to be with Tang Ling without any burden, happily living together as a family of three?

In that moment, Shen Mianmian suddenly discovered she couldn’t hate He Nan. His being alive was already a gift from heaven to her.

Taking a deep breath, Shen Mianmian stepped inside.

The living room was filled with people. Fu Hua’s eyes were red from crying, and Ruan Feng and Ruan Yiqian among others looked both excited and happy, while He Nan sat on the sofa in the middle beside Old Master He, appearing much more composed compared to the others.

"Mianmian," Ruan Yiqian, who was sitting diagonally opposite He Nan, caught sight of Shen Mianmian and instinctively called out, drawing everyone’s gaze towards her.

Shen Mianmian pursed her lips, her eyes meeting He Nan’s. After five years, at this moment, she didn’t know what her expression was or even how she felt.

The two of them locked gazes for several seconds, as if time had stopped.

No one in the room spoke, seemingly afraid of disrupting the two.

Shen Mianmian slowly gathered her senses, a faint smile curling at the corners of her mouth as she walked further inside.

"He Nan."

It was a name she had called out countless times in her dreams over the past five years, and now, she could finally say it to his face. But Shen Mianmian found that this "He Nan" carried with it some elements of strangeness, perhaps even separation.

Yes, she did not hate He Nan.

But her self-respect would not allow her to wait around like an item, waiting to be chosen.

"Mianmian," He Nan said, lips pressed slightly together, his voice somewhat hoarse.

Different from when he spoke with others, his tone fluctuated more when facing Shen Mianmian.

"Long time no see."

Shen Mianmian approached him, and Fu Hua immediately shifted aside to make room for her to sit beside He Nan.

Shen Mianmian was direct and took the offered seat.

Although the meeting between Shen Mianmian and He Nan was not as warm as everyone had imagined, no one thought much of it. After all, having been apart for five years, it was only natural for there to be some sense of alienation between them.

Besides, with many elders present, they surely felt somewhat uneasy.

He Nan pursed his lips as he looked at Shen Mianmian, not responding to her greeting, his gaze lingering on her as he seemed to sense her withdrawal.

Seeing this, Fu Hua quickly intervened to break the awkward atmosphere between them, saying to He Nan, "Xiaonan, I haven’t had the chance to tell you yet, but Mianmian had a son for you, called Xiaobei. Since he’s never met his father, I was afraid it would be too exciting for him, so I didn’t bring him along."
