Chapter 311: Chapter 311 Meeting He Nan 2

Seeing Ruan Yiyang about to leave, Shen Mianmian hurriedly said, "Big Brother He, Siyuan is waiting for me at the vegetable market. You can go ahead with your business! I..."

She hadn’t finished speaking when a look from him stopped her in her tracks.

His presence was so commanding that one couldn’t help but cower.

"Who did you fight with?"

He asked again.

"The clothes seller."

Shen Mianmian knew that He Nan asked again because he obviously didn’t believe her previous excuse. Thinking about it, such a far-fetched reason couldn’t possibly fool him.

If she didn’t tell the truth now, it would seem disrespectful.

He Nan raised an eyebrow slightly but said nothing. Shen Mianmian knew he was waiting for her to continue.

Like a madwoman, she had fought with someone else. It had felt exhilarating and relieving at the time, but now, facing He Nan, she felt nothing but embarrassment.

But, like a well-behaved student, she dutifully told the truth, "Siyuan and I went to buy clothes. Someone falsely accused us of stealing clothes, then we argued, and later when I went to the bathroom, I ran into her again. She blocked me and wouldn’t let me go, so we started fighting."

After finishing her explanation, she hung her head and fell silent.

Although she had only briefly described the events and not delved into detail, He Nan had already guessed the cause and effect of the situation.

Most likely, someone had judged her by her plain attire, thinking she couldn’t afford new clothes, which led to the subsequent conflict.

His gaze fell on her arm. Although her clothes were old and showed signs of mending, they were clean. It was almost April, but the mornings and evenings were still a bit chilly. Her slender, fair wrists were exposed, clearly not well-protected from the cold.

He slightly furrowed his brow, "Did you buy the clothes?"

"Huh?"

Not expecting his first question after her story to be this, Shen Mianmian was a bit lost, but she nodded dumbly, "Yes, I did."

"Hmm."

He Nan responded indifferently, his eyes sweeping briefly over her feet before he began walking away.

Shen Mianmian thought he was going to look for Ruan Yiyang and let out a sigh of relief. Just as the words "Goodbye" were about to leave her lips, he suddenly turned around and said, "Follow."

Shen Mianmian: "..."

Though she had no idea what He Nan was planning, she obediently followed behind him.

He Nan led Shen Mianmian back to the clothing district. This time, Shen Mianmian was not at all flustered – He Nan’s presence gave her an inexplicable sense of security.

He appeared to be searching for something, moving at a leisurely pace. It wasn’t long before they came to Wang Erfeng’s stall, which was now deserted, with all the goods packed away. Seeing this, Shen Mianmian blinked.

Had Wang Erfeng been taken away by the police?

As if he saw right through her small expression, "This one?"

"Yes."

Shen Mianmian nodded.

He Nan raised his eyebrows and looked at the packed goods for a couple of seconds, apparently contemplating why this stall had closed so early.

This time, Shen Mianmian was more cooperative and volunteered the information, "When she was fighting with me, I called her a human trafficker; she must have been taken away by the police."

Hearing this, a trace of amusement flickered in He Nan’s eyes. She was indeed a clever little fox.

His eyes swept over the stall once more, a touch of coolness passing through his gaze. Without a word, he continued walking.

Shen Mianmian quickly followed.

Only when he stopped in front of a shoe store did Shen Mianmian realize his intentions. Was he planning to buy shoes for her?

Pondering how to refuse without offending him, she thought of a straightforward approach.

Show off her wealth.
