Chapter 871: Chapter 871: Are You Shen Mianmian and Yang Xiaoxi?

"I’m not interested," He Nan’s expression seemed a bit better than before, but his tone was still very cold.

Ruan Yiqian didn’t want to argue with him and asked with concern, "Did you really have a falling out with Mianmian?"

"Not exactly."

He Nan seemed to want to communicate, at least he responded.

Seeing a chance to continue the conversation, Ruan Yiqian followed up, "So, you’re saying that your bad mood is indeed related to Mianmian?"

"Yes." This time He Nan didn’t contradict, frowning as he said, "Mianmian always acts like she could leave at any moment when she’s with me."

Ruan Yiqian paused for a moment at this, then sympathetically said, "It must be because Mianmian feels the disparity between you is too great, she lacks a sense of security. If she knew about her own background, that would resolve the issue."

He and Ruan Lingyu had both talked to Mianmian. Even if Mianmian was strong inwardly, she was still an eighteen- or nineteen-year-old girl who sometimes might feel insecure. Holding that mindset was just her way of protecting herself.

He Nan glanced at him dangerously, and Ruan Yiqian shrugged, "I admit that I am personally invested in this matter, but what I’ve said is true. Even if Mianmian doesn’t like us, it can’t be denied that Miss Ruan’s identity will bring her many conveniences."

For example, being with He Nan, if people hear about it, they would think it’s a match made by family ties, a perfect match, and they would look favorably on their relationship, instead of like now, where Shen Mianmian feels insecure and believes she isn’t worthy of He Nan, putting herself at a disadvantage in the relationship.

"No one can force her to do something she doesn’t want to do," He Nan’s gaze was warning as he looked at him.

Ruan Yiqian was somewhat speechless, but he didn’t want to argue with him. They would wait for the results.

He got to his feet and said, "Mianmian heard about Mianmian, and still not knowing that Mianmian is herself, she might be feeling somewhat insecure. Pay more attention to her feelings! Don’t let her be wronged. I’ve got things to do, so I’ll be off."

Regarding what he had previously said in front of Shen Mianmian, Ruan Yiqian did not want He Nan to know, otherwise, there would definitely be trouble.

He knew Mianmian felt insecure now, which was definitely related to what he had said before. The words were already out, and regretting now was useless, he could only try to make it up to her later on.

In a few days, Dad was going to be back, and if he returned sooner, he would try to arrange a meeting between the two to leave a good impression on Mianmian.

...

Saturday arrived in the blink of an eye. During these days, He Nan hadn’t come over, and Shen Mianmian knew that Big Brother He was upset with her. But she hadn’t overcome her inner thoughts and felt approaching Big Brother He would be futile, so she simply didn’t bother thinking about it much.

After a few days, when Big Brother He was less angry, the two of them would have a good talk together.

Thinking about going to her grandfather’s house, she ate breakfast and then went out with Yang Xiaoxi to buy some fruits and snacks. They hadn’t reached the door when they saw a car parked there.

Shen Mianmian and Yang Xiaoxi were both perplexed. They didn’t recognize the license plate.

As they walked towards it, suddenly a man in his fifties got out of the car.

The man asked cheerfully, "Are you Shen Mianmian and Yang Xiaoxi?"

Shen Mianmian and Yang Xiaoxi looked at each other and nodded, asking, "Yes, may I ask who you are?"

Seeing their cautious expressions, Mr. Xu quickly explained, "Don’t be scared, I’m here to take you to lunch."
