Chapter 853: Chapter 853 You Know What I Want to Hear.

"Loving oneself more isn’t wrong, but holding onto the thought of leaving me at any moment is unacceptable," He Nan said with a hint of dominance in his voice. "Mianmian, whatever you desire, I can provide, but you cannot entertain the idea of leaving me on a whim."

He wasn’t sure if it was an illusion, but his last sentence seemed to carry a hint of helplessness. No, that couldn’t be right. How could Brother He feel helpless? He is such a powerful figure.

So powerful that he was impeccable.

"Brother He, I..."

"Don’t say anything else that might anger me." He Nan pulled her into his embrace as if trying to meld her into his chest, proving her thoughts right; he indeed had no way to handle her.

With other matters, he was decisive, but with her, he could neither scold nor be harsh.

Upon hearing this, Shen Mianmian wisely shut her mouth. She wrapped her arms around him, inhaling his familiar scent, listening to his strong heartbeat, and felt incredibly secure. If possible, she truly wished to stay with him forever, never leaving his embrace.

But life is full of uncertainties. Having lived two lives, she really couldn’t afford to lose her clarity.

The two embraced for a while, and he suddenly released his arms. Shen Mianmian instinctively looked up at him, but he immediately sealed her lips with his. They had shared such intimacy before, but this time was different. His kiss was forcefully dominating, carrying barely restrained anger, making it difficult for her to breathe. Soon, her face flushed red.

He didn’t seem inclined to let her go. Just when she felt almost suffocated, he suddenly released her.

"Mianmian, think carefully, consider if I am truly worth your lifelong commitment," he said.

His gaze fell on her face, the intensity in his eyes burning like flames, as if intending to melt her.

Shen Mianmian looked at him, unable at first to grasp his meaning.

Actually, she understood his perspective. If she knew the person she sincerely cared for always harbored thoughts of leaving, she would be heartbroken too.

"Brother He, I..."

He Nan cut her off, reminding her, "You know what I want to hear."

Shen Mianmian pursed her lips and swallowed back the words she wanted to say, her mind too chaotic to think clearly.

Realizing what she was thinking, he said, "Take the next few days to think it over. I need to go abroad before the end of the year, and I hope to hear a satisfying answer before I leave."

After speaking, he turned, opened the door, and walked out. Shen Mianmian wondered if her eyes were deceiving her, as his broad back seemed tinged with desolation.

Shen Mianmian felt deeply for him, even blaming herself for being too clear-headed.

Was she being too selfish?

Shen Mianmian wasn’t sure how long she had stood at the door, her heart filled with mixed emotions. Brother He wanted her to think it through, but she simply couldn’t calm her mind to reflect.

Just as she said, Ruan Mianmian was returning. How should she handle herself?

Had Brother He already met with Ruan Mianmian?

She suddenly hoped fervently for the test results to come out quickly, so Brother He could see his own heart clearly, and she could decide on what to do next.

"Mianmian, is everything okay between you and Brother He?"

Yang Xiaoxi came out of the room and saw Shen Mianmian standing blankly at the door, feeling somewhat panicked.

She had noticed Brother He seemed somewhat angry earlier and wondered if he had lost his temper with Shen Mianmian.
