Chapter 716: Chapter 716 Confession 2

If she got together with Brother He, she would want more, as that’s just human nature; once you have something, you don’t want to lose it. She wasn’t a saint; she didn’t possess such a generous mindset.

If Brother He broke up with her in the future, she would be very hurt. Therefore, not starting at all was the best choice.

He Nan frowned slightly, "We won’t break up."

His tone was very firm, "The things you mentioned aren’t problems. My marriage is my own business; no one can force me to marry someone I don’t want to. I will buy another house in the future, and we won’t have to live with the elders after getting married. As long as I’m here, no one can bully you."

Respecting elders doesn’t mean blindly following them. He Nan had always been a person of conviction, clearly understanding when to compromise and when not to.

His wife would be his, not someone married for the sake of his family. Therefore, He Nan didn’t think that marrying Shen Mianmian meant she had to win the affection of everyone or be subservient to his family members.

Seeing the serious determination in his eyes, Shen Mianmian almost wavered, "Brother He, if we get together, what about Miss Cheng? What if Brother Ruan’s sister finds someone, then what about Miss Ruan? Don’t your families have a marriage arrangement?"

"Whoever made it can go marry her." He Nan answered crisply. He never cared about those things because from the moment he understood the meaning of marriage, he never thought about marrying Cheng Xining.

"Isn’t Miss Cheng the one you like?" Shen Mianmian was somewhat confused.

"Who told you that?" He Nan raised an eyebrow, "I have nothing to do with her and have never liked anyone before. You are the first."

"..."

Shen Mianmian fell silent, feeling a hint of happiness in her heart.

She truly couldn’t find any words to argue, but she didn’t know how to balance the relationship between them.

She liked Brother He, but she had never dared to hope for them to be together, and even less did she expect that he liked her too. Was this... was this like a dream?

"What else are you worried about? Just tell me everything." As long as she didn’t dislike him, he could solve anything else.

Shen Mianmian: "..."

"No response, does that mean you agree?" He looked at her with a half-smile, his mood gradually improving. Up until now, she hadn’t said she didn’t like him. Doesn’t that mean she actually started liking him too, without realizing it?

"Brother He, can you give me some time to think?" Shen Mianmian decided to employ a delaying tactic. Originally, she felt she and Brother He would never be together, but his words had made her waver.

She feared she would be bewitched; she needed to calm down and reconsider this issue thoroughly.

"I’ll give you five minutes to think." He Nan glanced at his watch, "Starting the timer now."

Shen Mianmian’s mouth twitched. Since when had Brother He become so impatient?

Five minutes... Her heart hadn’t even settled yet; how could she focus on thinking things through?

"Brother He..."

"Four minutes left."

"..."

Shen Mianmian was speechless once again.

Their eyes met for a while, and her face uncontrollably flared up in redness again.

To be honest, Brother He was outstanding in all aspects, and he was someone she had always felt was out of her league.

If she decided to be with Brother He, it would mean she couldn’t continue living her life as casually as before; she would have to strive to make herself more outstanding.
