Chapter 827: Chapter 827 Encounter 2

Ruan Yiqian clicked his tongue: "What kind of trick is this?"

"Grandpa, I’m not very familiar with him, he’s He Nan’s childhood friend," Shen Mianmian introduced.

He Lao Yezi suddenly nodded in understanding.

It was only then that Ruan Yiqian noticed He Lao Yezi’s attire and instantly understood something, so he didn’t expose him.

"You seem to come here quite often recently," Yang Xiaoxi said straightforwardly, because Ruan Yiqian was Cheng Xining’s cousin, she didn’t have a very good impression of him either.

Shen Mianmian also looked at him and said, "Big Brother Ruan, is there something you need this time for coming over?"

Ruan Yiqian cleared his throat and explained, "I’m here to find Xiaonan, I have something to discuss with him. When I couldn’t find him at his company, I guessed he might be here."

His reason was fairly reasonable, so Shen Mianmian had no suspicion.

Out of politeness, she asked Ruan Yiqian if he had eaten, and as one might expect, she had no choice but to add another pair of chopsticks.

After all, it wouldn’t have been nice to let Ruan Yiqian watch them eat, so the meal originally meant for three turned into a group of five. Fortunately, she cooked enough food, and it was just enough for everyone.

The meal passed in relative harmony. After eating, He Lao Yezi suggested going back since both He Nan and Ruan Yiqian were there, so Shen Mianmian didn’t keep him around longer this time. She packed the pancakes she had prepared earlier, along with some noodles and fruit, and handed them to He Lao Yezi. She wanted to send him back, but He Nan proposed calling a taxi for him, which He Lao Yezi didn’t refuse.

The group escorted him to the door, and it just so happened that Lu Siyuan, who was looking for Shen Mianmian, showed up. It was then that she remembered she had previously made plans to go to Meilin Garden with Lu Siyuan.

"Are you going out?" Lu Siyuan looked at Ruan Yiqian and He Lao Yezi, feeling puzzled. When did Shen Mianmian get to know so many people in Beijing?

"We’re sending grandpa to the road to hail a taxi," Shen Mianmian said lightly.

"That’s good, didn’t you promise to go to Meilin Garden with me?" Lu Siyuan said, deliberately glancing at Ruan Yiqian and He Nan.

Shen Mianmian nodded, "After we get grandpa on the taxi, we’ll go."

Lu Siyuan was very satisfied with Shen Mianmian’s reply, so he said to He Nan, "He Big Brother, I had already made plans with Mianmian to go to Meilin Garden. You just came to see Mianmian, right? If there’s nothing particular, you can come back another day!"

Before He Nan could speak, He Lao Yezi said, "That place doesn’t have good feng shui, it’s safer with more people. Why don’t you all go together!"

Upon hearing that, Ruan Yiqian immediately nodded, "I happen to be free this afternoon, so let’s go together!"

"Weren’t you supposed to discuss something with He Big Brother?" Shen Mianmian looked at Ruan Yiqian curiously.

Hearing this, Lu Siyuan immediately said, "If you have business to take care of, go ahead, Mianmian and I will just visit, I’ve got a strong character, so it’ll be fine."

"It’s not an urgent matter, it can wait until we’re back."

Ruan Yiqian was a clever man. Since Lu Siyuan had arrived, he noticed that the atmosphere between Lu Siyuan and He Nan was a bit off, and coupled with Lu Siyuan’s reluctance to have them join, he was almost certain that Lu Siyuan had feelings for Shen Mianmian.

That made him even more inclined to follow along.

"Mianmian, since their business isn’t urgent, let’s all go together! That place is too eerie, and it’s more reassuring to have more people," Yang Xiaoxi recalled what happened last time, still feeling a bit shaken, and thought having He Big Brother and Ruan Yiqian with them would feel a lot safer.

Hearing this, Shen Mianmian turned to He Nan, "He Big Brother, do you have time this afternoon?"

During the entire discussion, He Big Brother hadn’t shared his thoughts.
