Chapter 419: Chapter 419 Home of He Nan 1

He Nan couldn’t help but recall Li Chunhua’s words, which likened girls like her to being easily targeted by bad people. A girl who is too beautiful, without the intelligence and capability to match her appearance, is a disaster.

In that sense, having been mistreated by Shen Jianhua and his wife, resulting in the pearl being dirtied, might not have been a bad thing after all.

Realizing that his thoughts had drifted off, He Nan slightly furrowed his brow. It was the first time in many years that this had happened to him.

He gripped the steering wheel tighter and said in a deep voice, "Before the shop opens, it’s best not to meet with Lu Siyuan in the city."

"..."

Noticing the change in his voice, Shen Mianmian blinked, puzzled. He Nan was fine just a moment ago, so why had he suddenly become unhappy?

Although she didn’t understand the reason for his mood change, she nodded anyway.

With her parents unable to find her, they would definitely keep a close eye on Lu Siyuan these few days. It indeed wasn’t suitable to meet with Lu Siyuan.

Shen Mianmian had initially thought that He Nan would help her find a relatively safe inn to stay in, but it was only when the car entered a residential complex that she realized He Nan was bringing her to his home.

"Big Brother He... it’s not quite appropriate for me to stay at your house, is it?"

"You, a young girl carrying so much money, it’s unsafe in a hotel. It’s only me living here; one more person won’t take up much space," he said sternly, not leaving her any chance to refuse as he carried the stuff upstairs.

Shen Mianmian held her schoolbag and honestly followed behind him.

This building had six floors, with two households per floor. He Nan lived on the fourth floor.

While most people still lived in tube-shaped apartments and cramped two-bedroom units, this was already a three-bedroom and one-living-room layout.

In Licheng, outside of standalone villas, this complex had the best layout and environment. Only the wealthy and prestigious could live here.

Visiting such a place for the first time, especially He Nan’s home, Shen Mianmian was very restrained. After entering the house, she stood with her head down, not daring to move.

The floor was shiny and clean, the house was simply furnished, and everything tidied methodically. It seemed that Big Brother He, just like his appearance, was very meticulous and clean, perhaps even a bit obsessive-compulsive.

They say such people can’t stand a speck of dust in their sight.

Shen Mianmian suddenly regretted her decision. She shouldn’t have followed him here absent-mindedly; she should have firmly insisted on staying at a hotel.

He Nan, noticing her standing stiffly like a little soldier on guard, couldn’t help but let a trace of amusement flicker across the depths of his eyes. He placed her stuff on the sofa, "Don’t just stand there, come with me."

"...Oh." Shen Mianmian reacted half a beat slow, hurriedly taking small, quick steps to keep up with him.

He Nan pushed open the door to the side room, "You can temporarily stay in this room. The bedding was just washed the day before yesterday. There’s an electric fan in the closet, turn it on if you’re hot. Don’t worry about saving electricity."

Shen Mianmian tilted her head to peek inside, where a single bed and a large wardrobe were placed. Such large wardrobes, she had seen one before in Zhou Siyu’s bridal room, which she heard cost quite a lot of money then.

Zhou Lanfang often boasted about that wardrobe in the village.

But that wardrobe wasn’t as big, nor were the patterns as nice, or the craftsmanship as good as this one. There was a light fragrance in the room, seemingly emanating from the wardrobe itself.

Seeing her gaze fixed on the wardrobe, He Nan said indifferently, "You can use the wardrobe as you like."

"Mm."

Shen Mianmian nodded.

He Nan then took her to another small door, "Here is the bathroom."
