Chapter 877: Chapter 878: Would This Be Inappropriate?

Shen Mianmian’s face turned red, "Brother He Nan, I know I’m being a bit melodramatic and fussy. I shouldn’t dwell on your past, especially since it was during our childhood. I just..."

"Just what?" He Nan looked at her with a seemingly amused expression.

Shen Mianmian: "..."

She didn’t know how to describe her feelings anymore.

Fortunately, He Nan didn’t pressure her. He said, "Back then, I was only a few years old. Although I was more mature than other kids my age, I didn’t have that many thoughts. Ruan Mianmian was just over two years old, still a little girl who would eat her own boogers. What kind of thoughts do you think I should’ve had about her?"

As he spoke, he couldn’t help but chuckle, "Childhood sweethearts, that requires growing up together. She was lost when she was just over two years old."

Hearing this, Shen Mianmian felt her previous thoughts were somewhat laughable. Brother He Nan was right, Ruan Mianmian was just a little girl at that time.

Thinking of this, she couldn’t help but suppress a snicker, and as she looked up, she met his intense gaze. Her heart ’thudded’ anxiously, "Brother He Nan, don’t look at me like that. It’s weird."

He Nan took a deep breath and suddenly said seriously, "Mianmian, if you have any doubts in the future, just ask me directly. Don’t keep it bottled up inside."

"Mhm."

Shen Mianmian nodded her head.

Looking at her fluffy hair, He Nan felt an itch in his heart and really wanted to hug her. Knowing she wouldn’t be comfortable with that here, he suppressed his urge, pinched her cheek, and said, "About Xining, you don’t need to think too much about it. To me, she’s just Yiqian’s cousin. The matter of her framing you has already been dealt with. From now on, you can shop for clothes in any store you like."

Shen Mianmian’s heart skipped a beat, "Did you confront the Cheng family?"

"Yiqian took care of it," He Nan said.

Shen Mianmian sighed in relief. Cheng Xining was Ruan Yiqian’s cousin; he wouldn’t go too far.

Speaking of Ruan Yiqian, she blurted out a question that was on her mind, "Brother Ruan has been acting strange recently; his attitude towards me has changed a lot compared to before."

"Don’t worry about him," He Nan said lightly, holding her hand as they walked toward the main entrance. "If you find him annoying, just don’t open the door for him next time he comes."

Shen Mianmian’s mouth twitched, "Wouldn’t that be a bit rude?"

"Nothing wrong with that."

Just as he finished speaking, they saw Ruan Yiqian and Yang Xiaoxi coming back from the direction of the park, one after the other. When Shen Mianmian got a clear look at Yang Xiaoxi, she was startled and quickly approached her with concern.

"What happened? How come your clothes are completely soaked?"

It was already late December, and the weather was freezing. Yang Xiaoxi’s hair was frosted, and she was wrapped in Ruan Yiqian’s jacket, exuding steam.

Yang Xiaoxi, shivering severely, could barely speak. Ruan Yiqian explained, "She saw a fish fall into the pond."

Shen Mianmian’s mouth twitched again. Without asking further, she quickly ushered everyone back to the house. The old master saw the situation and was also surprised, promptly instructing the butler to take her to the room to change clothes.

Old Master He, his beard quivering with anger, said, "What’s the matter with you two grown men? You were supposed to take them out for a walk, and you bring them back like this?"

Ruan Yiqian touched his nose awkwardly, "I didn’t expect this to happen. She was knocking ice chunks on the edge of the pond and ended up toppling into it."

Although he had managed to pull her out promptly, her clothes inevitably got wet.
