Chapter 851: Chapter 851: Brother He, I’m Sorry

The clerk’s mouth dropped open in surprise, "You want to deposit three thousand yuan?"

He Nan didn’t answer her, but instead said, "When it’s used up, just go to the front desk of Lanyue Company and get more."

Shen Mianmian: "..."

Yang Xiaoxi: "..."

The clerk: "..."

All three had the same expression, incredulous as they looked at He Nan.

Three thousand yuan, he actually gave it to Shen Mianmian so easily to buy clothes?

You should know that in the countryside, this amount of money was enough to build three new tile-roofed houses.

Seeing that she didn’t respond for a long time, He Nan’s eyebrows furrowed, "Didn’t understand?"

"Understood, understood."

The clerk nodded repeatedly, realising she had brought a long-term customer for the boss.

To avoid any mistaken identity in the future, she quickly asked for Shen Mianmian’s name to make a proper registration.

After everything was sorted, He Nan, carrying the clothes, led the two back to their accommodations. On the way, he didn’t speak at all. Shen Mianmian and Yang Xiaoxi were somewhat apprehensive and also remained silent. The atmosphere in the car was so quiet it was somewhat frightening.

Upon arriving at their accommodations, Yang Xiaoxi scurried back to her room. Shen Mianmian and He Nan also returned to their room together. He Nan casually closed the door and then looked down at her.

Shen Mianmian felt her scalp tingle under his gaze, and adhering to the principle of "a cut whether I cringe or not, so might as well not cringe," she said, "Big Brother He, about today’s matter, I didn’t consider it carefully enough. I shouldn’t have kept it from you."

He Nan looked down at her fluffy head, the emotions in his eyes complex. He had long noticed that Shen Mianmian always had things she wouldn’t tell him about, fearful of troubling him, and he knew it was because of her upbringing that she had become so independent.

He had originally thought that over time, she would gradually learn to depend on him, but after so long, when she encountered difficulties, she still didn’t want to bother him, didn’t want to tell him.

Although he had intended to patiently wait for her to change, the reality in front of him still made him very angry, and he felt an inexplicable irritation in his heart.

She still wasn’t willing to fully open her heart to him. If her family really opposed, would she back down?

Was it a lack of trust in his ability to handle it, or was it not enough love?

"Mianmian, do you not really have the determination to be with me for a lifetime? Are you still thinking that if my family objects, it’s nothing to just break up and live a carefree life in Licheng as a well-fed little rich woman?"

His gaze seemed to pierce through her heart, leaving Shen Mianmian’s inner thoughts starkly exposed. For the first time, Shen Mianmian understood that Big Brother He had long seen through her thoughts, clearer than she could have imagined.

Feeling guilty, she stared at her toes, not daring to make eye contact with him, unable to speak a word in her defense.

He Nan’s eyes narrowed slightly, and his lips pursed. He so hoped she would argue back, even if he knew it was just to cheer him up, he would have believed her.

But she didn’t.

Shen Mianmian, sensing that his breathing seemed to grow heavier, felt her anxious heart pounding fiercely. After a while, she said, "Big Brother He, I’m sorry."

He had his Ruan Mianmian, and she was unsure if she was just a substitute. She simply couldn’t close her eyes and love on, even though she constantly reminded herself that those were just jokes from the elders, that Big Brother He was very young at the time, not understanding anything.

But her mind remained clear.

She feared that investing too much genuine feeling would result in an outcome she couldn’t bear.

He Nan took a deep breath, "You know, what I want to hear isn’t ’I’m sorry.’

What he wanted was her determination to firmly be with him.

Shen Mianmian didn’t speak; she didn’t know what to say. At this point, she couldn’t bring herself to utter a lie to deceive him.
