Chapter 422: Chapter 422 Guests at He Nan’s Home 2

Ruan Yiyang and Li Yue made themselves at home. Upon reaching the living room, they casually sprawled on the couch, crossing their legs. Both men simultaneously had the same thought.

While He Nan wasn’t at home, they’d better take the opportunity to pry some information.

"Young lady, why are you staying at Brother Nan’s house?" Ruan Yiyang asked.

"What kind of question is that? What if you scare Mianmian?" Li Yue chastised Ruan Yiyang for his questioning manner, then in a tone akin to cajoling a child, he asked again, "Mianmian, what are you doing here? Isn’t today supposed to be the day of the middle school exams?"

Why hadn’t the girl gone to take her exams?

"My parents didn’t let me take the exam, and they even locked me at home. After I ran out, I broke ties with them and planned to move into the city..." She was only sixteen, and she knew the two men were simply curious, so Shen Mianmian didn’t hide anything and candidly told them the truth.

"You’re going to live at Brother Nan’s from now on?" Ruan Yiyang couldn’t contain himself and interrupted Shen Mianmian.

Was Brother Nan planning to raise Shen Mianmian like his own daughter?

Was he really going to help someone out all the way into his own home?

Of course, he wasn’t against Shen Mianmian staying there; it was just that Brother Nan’s actions were beyond his expectations.

"Are you even human? Don’t you have a shred of sympathy?" Li Yue glared at Ruan Yiyang with a melodramatic compassion, "Mianmian is now homeless, and Brother Nan’s house is so big, what’s wrong with having another young girl stay?"

Shen Mianmian was a girl unloved by her father and mother, and her life was indeed difficult. Of course, they didn’t just take in anyone they pitied into their home, but the girl had her redeeming qualities.

Sometimes, he felt Shen Mianmian and Brother Nan had some similarities, but exactly what they were, he couldn’t put his finger on.

Anyway, Brother Nan was rather solitary, and Mianmian was sensible, so raising her like a daughter at home seemed like a pretty good idea.

Even though this ’daughter’ was a bit old, when he suggested to Brother Nan to recognize Mianmian as his god-sister, Brother Nan gave him a stern look, clearly not too keen on the idea.

This man was mature beyond his years, and maybe he really did want to be a father.

Ruan Yiyang also realized that his earlier words could be misconstrued as disdain for Shen Mianmian, so he explained, "Young lady, don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying you can’t stay here, I was just curious..."

But as for what exactly he was curious about, he didn’t know how to say it. He was well aware of Brother Nan’s character, but putting it into words was difficult.

Most importantly, if he said that Brother Nan never got close to women or something, would Shen Mianmian misunderstand that Brother Nan had other intentions?

Fearing that the more he explained, the messier it would get, he simply shut up.

"I didn’t misunderstand." Shen Mianmian smiled sweetly, "I hadn’t finished speaking just now. I finished the exams too late today, and Big Brother He was worried about my safety in a hotel, so he let me stay at his place temporarily. Big Brother He said he will help me find suitable accommodations tomorrow."

Although her interaction with the two wasn’t extensive, she could tell they were both nice people and easy to get along with, and also friends of He Nan.

Perhaps it was a case of ’love me, love my dog,’ but she thought anyone who could get along well with He Nan must be of good character.

Upon hearing Shen Mianmian say this, Li Yue felt embarrassed, realizing he had thought too much about all sorts of silly things. It turned out Brother Nan was simply letting Mianmian stay for one night!

A pretty young girl like her staying outside really wouldn’t be safe.

Unlike Li Yue, Ruan Yiyang felt he had thought too much too, but was also momentarily dazzled by Shen Mianmian’s smile. Despite her young age, her appearance was very sweet, and even for him, who had seen various beauties in Beijing, he was taken aback in this moment.
