Chapter 694: Chapter 694: In What Capacity Are You Thanking Me on His Behalf?

Lu Yun was rendered speechless by Shen Mianmian’s blockade, which made her seem like an unreasonable shrew. However, the thought of her son being hospitalized because of Shen Mianmian made her heart harden again.

"If my son isn’t seriously hurt or suffer any complications, I’ll let this go. Otherwise, I won’t let you off the hook."

"Let’s go see Siyuan first!" Shen Mianmian, not wanting to make futile explanations, led Lu Yun towards the ward.

Hearing the noise outside, Lu Siyuan thought it was Shen Mianmian returning, but when he saw it was Lu Yun, his face changed, and he turned his head away.

"Siyuan, how are you feeling? Does anything hurt?" Seeing her son wrapped in bandages, Lu Yun’s eyes reddened with distress, as she sat beside Lu Siyuan’s bed and took his hand.

Lu Siyuan responded awkwardly, "It doesn’t hurt," and then fell silent.

"Siyuan, now that Aunt Lu is here to take care of you, we’ll head back first." Shen Mianmian wanted to leave some space for the mother and son to bond. Besides, knowing Lu Yun didn’t like her and that she would be in the way, she took the initiative to propose leaving.

Lu Siyuan didn’t want Shen Mianmian to leave, but with Lu Yun and He Nan present, he could only reluctantly grunt in agreement, reminding, "Come visit me when you have time. He Nan is quite busy, you can come by yourself, there’s no need to bring He Nan along."

Shen Mianmian’s mouth twitched. Could you make discarding after use any more obvious? He Nan just saved him recently.

She glanced at He Nan, and fortunately, he appeared indifferent, without any intention of taking Lu Siyuan’s words to heart.

As the two left the ward, Shen Mianmian walked beside him, her heart beginning to race uncontrollably again. She tried her best to suppress the restlessness in her heart, attempting to appear calmer.

She absolutely couldn’t let He Nan notice her abnormality. Otherwise, how would she face He Nan in the future?

With that thought, Shen Mianmian forced a smile, "He Nan, thank you for today. Go ahead with your work! I can manage on my own at the store."

"Are you thanking me for yourself, or for Lu Siyuan?" He Nan asked suddenly.

"Hmm?" Shen Mianmian was caught off guard by the question, "Does it make a difference?"

He Nan said, "If it’s for Lu Siyuan, then in what capacity are you thanking me on his behalf?"

Shen Mianmian: "..."

Although she didn’t know why He Nan asked such a question, Shen Mianmian intuitively felt it was a trap. With her strong survival instinct kicking in, she immediately said, "I’m thanking you for myself. Even though you saved Lu Siyuan, your original intention was to find me. Saving him was just a fortunate coincidence."

A flicker of amusement passed through He Nan’s eyes, quickly concealed, "Indeed, that’s the truth."

Shen Mianmian: "..."

He Nan really is He Nan, not even feigning modesty.

After a brief exchange, she felt more at ease.

Reaching the car, he said, "Get in, I’ll drive you back to the store first."

Shen Mianmian was about to refuse when she heard him add, "I also have something to ask you."

Hearing this, Shen Mianmian didn’t pose, and once seated in the car, she said, "He Nan, whatever you want to ask, just go ahead."

"Who gave you the note?" He Nan asked.

"It was Gu Jianli." Fearing He Nan might not know who Gu Jianli was, Shen Mianmian briefly introduced him, "He said he liked me and because I’ve been ignoring him, he’s been constantly lurking around the vegetable shop lately."

He Nan’s voice grew heavier, "Why haven’t you told me about something so serious?"

Gu Jianli’s behavior constituted harassment.
