Rebirth in the 80s: The Scholar Wife is Cute
Chapter 314: Misunderstanding

Chapter 314: Chapter 314: Misunderstanding

Such a great opportunity wasted, and the merchandise wasn’t sold; the lady boss felt a bit downcast, her smile fading slightly.

Shen Mianmian, however, didn’t care too much, as any businessperson would want to sell more. She understood, but she only bought what she needed.

Moreover, she didn’t carry money with her. Although the items weren’t costly, she didn’t want to hoard a pile of goods just for the small advantage it offered.

Seeing that Shen Mianmian only wanted a hair tie and had no intention to pick more, He Nan asked, "Don’t need anything else?"

"No need," Mianmian shook her head, "one is enough."

"Ten cents."

The smile on the boss’s face completely faded as she secretly grimaced. Such a good opportunity not taken to buy more things, there would be regret later.

"Give me ten."

He Nan handed over one yuan to the lady boss, whose eyes sparkled. Her previously stiff expression was instantly filled with smiles again.

Although ten wasn’t a huge number, it was still ten times better than one!

Not many bought ten hair ties in one go.

"Big Brother He?" Mianmian blinked, weren’t ten a bit too much?

The quality of these hair ties was decent; one could last a long time, and ten could be used for an entire year.

"For backup in a fight," He Nan said with a smile that wasn’t quite a smile.

"..."

Mianmian felt slightly embarrassed, since when did Big Brother He learn to tease like this?

The boss, fearing they might change their minds, quickly took the money. Then counted out nine more hair ties and handed them to Shen Mianmian.

He Nan, without any change in expression, stepped ahead of Mianmian and placed the hair ties into his clothing bag.

Seeing this scene, the boss envied them, "Look at you young folks, so thoughtful. Not like when I got married. My man was like a block of wood, wouldn’t even carry things, let alone help hold a child."

Just as Shen Mianmian was about to leave after hearing this, she realized the lady boss had misunderstood and quickly explained, "Boss, there’s been a misunderstanding?"

A person with He Nan’s looks and aura was memorable at first sight.

She didn’t mind if others misunderstood, but Big Brother He was bound to be an important figure in the future, and it wasn’t good to be misunderstood. If the paparazzi caught wind of it later, it could turn into a scandal.

After all, she was only sixteen years old, still a child.

"Ah?" The lady boss looked embarrassed, "You two aren’t a couple?"

So all this time, she had misunderstood?

"No," to prevent another incident where someone confused He Nan for a human trafficker, she quickly added another sentence, "We’re siblings."

This should clear up any misunderstandings.

"Oh my," the boss showed an apologetic face and mimed slapping her mouth, "Look at me, my eyesight needs a spanking. Don’t mind me!"

She thought to herself: These two didn’t look alike at all!

Mianmian smiled and quickly left with He Nan.

He hadn’t said a word the whole way, as if it didn’t matter to him whether others mistook them for a couple or siblings.

Was this the composure of a big boss?

Soon after, Mianmian noticed that He Nan seemed a bit off; the aura around him turned cooler, his thin lips slightly pursed, as if lost in thought.

After walking for a while, Mianmian realized he wasn’t walking as fast as before and seemed to be intentionally waiting for her to catch up.

She was moved, silently lamenting: Big Brother He might look cold on the outside, but sometimes he was very considerate.

Sometimes she felt it all seemed too good to be true, like a dream. Could she, who lived such a miserable past life, truly be so fortunate to meet such a big brother?
