Chapter 721: Chapter 721: Why are you looking at me like that, Brother Nan?

To tell the truth, based on what she knew about He Nan, she wouldn’t be surprised if He Nan never married in his lifetime.

To her, the idea of He Nan having a girlfriend was as unlikely as a steel tree blooming.

"Sister Shiping, I started dating Big Brother He since last year. I was afraid Uncle Li would worry about my studies, so I’ve been, like, not saying anything, I was planning, to tell you guys, these days, but I didn’t expect..." At this point, she bit her tongue awkwardly.

"You’re right to worry. If my dad had known you were dating He Nan last year, he definitely would have had a talk with you, knowing his temper," Li Shiping said.

Mianmian, held back by love, and Xiaoyue, held back by his career, neither lived up to Dad’s expectations. Now Dad pinned all his hopes on Little Mianmian, and if he knew she was in a premature relationship, he would definitely have a heart-to-heart with her.

Shen blinked and tentatively asked, "Sister Shiping, what do you think about Big Brother He and me dating?"

Li Shiping smiled, "Mianmian, you don’t have to be too nervous. Mom and I were just too surprised, we didn’t expect the two of you to be together, especially since He Nan is usually quite serious. But he is a good person, and apart from being much older than you, he’s very suitable for you in every way. Besides, age isn’t really a problem, my dad is six years older than my mom."

Before, Li Shiping had always seen Shen Mianmian as a little sister. Now, knowing that she was dating He Nan and looking at her again, she realized that Mianmian had grown into a tall and beautiful young lady.

Upon hearing this, Shen Mianmian felt instantly reassured. She considered the Li family as her own, and their acceptance was especially important to her. "Sister Shiping, Uncle Li will definitely be angry when he finds out we’ve kept it from him for so long, so you’ll have to put in a good word for us when the time comes!"

"Don’t worry! Dad will just be angry for a bit, a few soothing words and he’ll be fine," assured Li Shiping, knowing her father’s temperament well.

Shen Mianmian nodded, "Then let’s go down and help Aunt Xu with cooking!"

"Let’s go!"

Li Shiping led the way in front.

Li Yue had returned at some point and was chatting with He Nan in the living room. Seeing Shen Mianmian, he cheerfully greeted her.

"Little Mianmian, your college entrance exams are over, and in the second half of the year, you’ll be a university student. You can go to Beijing University. From now on, if we want to see you, we’ll have to go to Beijing, which won’t be as convenient as now."

"I’ll come back to visit you all whenever there’s a long holiday," said Shen Mianmian with a smile.

She had grown up, but Li Yue still had the air of a rich second generation heir, Shen Mianmian was used to his teasing by now.

"You don’t have to go through all that trouble. I’ll bring my mom, dad, and sister to Beijing to see you," Li Yue said.

Just as Li Yue’s words fell, he felt a chilly gaze from beside him. He turned his head in confusion and met He Nan’s eyes, which made him shiver suddenly.

"Brother Nan, why are you looking at me like that?" Li Yue asked.

"I’ve been in Beijing for so long, why haven’t you come to visit me?" He Nan said in a deep voice.

Li Yue shivered and subconsciously distanced himself from He Nan, "Brother Nan, what do you mean by that?"

Brother Nan was already that old and still didn’t seem to want a girlfriend. He changed girlfriends three times a year, while Brother Nan remained a loner. Could it be...

Too terrifying to consider.

"Not thinking straight, are you?" He Nan could see right through his thoughts, his expression turning cold.
