Chapter 876: Chapter 876: Jealous?

He Nan’s eyes flashed briefly with amusement, "If I told you the truth, could you still act so naturally around Grandpa?"

After thinking, Shen Mianmian shook her head, "I probably couldn’t, if I knew he was Grandpa, I would definitely mix a lot of selfish thoughts into it, and interacting with Grandpa would become very problematic."

Thinking about it now, it was indeed better that Brother He didn’t tell her.

He Nan, with a doting expression, teased her nose, "Grandpa is an old fox, if you knew his identity, he would easily sense it, and then he wouldn’t see your truest self, which wouldn’t leave any room to really understand you."

Shen Mianmian pouted, "Fortunately, I haven’t been too excessive towards Grandpa, otherwise, I guess I wouldn’t even be allowed through the front door, let alone have meals here."

Honestly, Shen Mianmian felt somewhat relieved, in other words, if the old man hadn’t had a military background, she might not have made such an effort.

She had always admired military personnel, and furthermore, since Brother He had also served, her impression of them was even better.

Because of this, she was so nice to the old man, never expecting that he was Brother He’s grandfather.

He Nan said indifferently, "I didn’t stop him from getting close to you because it would make it easier for him to accept you, not to sabotage our relationship."

In other words, even if the old man objected, he wouldn’t break up with Shen Mianmian.

Hearing him say this, Shen Mianmian’s heart warmed, but she also felt somewhat guilty, "Brother He, I apologize for my previous thoughts. Being in a relationship should involve both parties, and I’ve always been prepared to leave at any moment, which was indeed selfish."

He Nan took a deep breath, his gaze suddenly becoming extremely profound, "Mianmian, I’m not blaming you, I just hope, like me, that you could firmly think about being together with me. If you have any worries, or think I’m doing something wrong, you should bring them up and communicate with me, instead of thinking about leaving me."

In his life, he had only ever loved her, to love one person is for a lifetime, and nobody else could replace her.

Hearing him say this, Shen Mianmian pursed her lips and boldly voiced her suspicion, "Brother He, I want to know, do you like me because you see someone else’s shadow in me?"

She paused, then added, "Like, Ruan Mianmian?"

Since Grandpa He didn’t object to her being with Brother He, she might as well clarify everything. As long as Brother He said it wasn’t, or that it was initially but he truly started to like her later, she would then commit wholeheartedly to him and wouldn’t harbor any more misguided thoughts.

He Nan slightly furrowed his brow, "What has Yiqian been saying in front of you?"

As clever as he was, he immediately guessed why Shen Mianmian asked this.

Shen Mianmian didn’t hide it from him, replying directly, "He said that when you were young, you complimented Ruan Mianmian on her beautiful eyes, Brother He, the first time you saw me, was it because I reminded you of Ruan Mianmian, and that’s why you helped me?"

Before He Nan could answer, she continued, "Brother He, you can just tell the truth directly, it’s okay. No matter what the truth is, I am still the one who benefits and gets help, I am fortunate."

As for how Ruan Mianmian has been doing these years and what she has been through, she had no idea.

"Jealous?" He Nan’s expression suddenly softened, he ruffled her hair, "You’ve been unhappy recently, is it because of this?"
