Chapter 438: Chapter 438 Highlight Moment 1

Shen Mianmian found it quite amusing that two significant figures acted like younger brothers in front of Brother He, even though they were all about the same age. Yet He Nan seemed much more composed than them.

Outwardly, it appeared as though they were afraid of Brother He, but from her perspective, it was respect.

Brother He had an inherent aura about him that was commanding without anger, which is something ordinary people didn’t possess.

In this lifetime, Shen Mianmian could never have dreamt of meeting Brother He in her past life.

The meal was harmonious, with Li Yue and Ruan Yiyang playing the flatterers, complimenting the food as they ate. The five dishes and one soup were polished off completely.

After eating their fill, Li Yue patted his stomach, leaning back in his chair with satisfaction, "Little Mianmian, it’s thanks to you that we got to enjoy a meal cooked by Brother Nan today." In the past, getting Brother Nan to cook a meal was harder than reaching the heavens.

Luckily, he was clever to know there would definitely be food here, and it turned out just as he expected.

He had originally thought it was Little Mianmian who would be cooking, but it turned out to be Brother Nan.

It seems that Brother Nan really does treat Little Mianmian differently.

Li Yue contemplated whether or not to suggest to Brother He that he should consider taking Little Mianmian as his goddaughter.

Ruan Yiyang, seeing the cunning glint in Li Yue’s eyes, guessed what was on his mind.

Li Yue had mentioned this idea to him before, and he too felt that Brother Nan had a special place for Shen Mianmian. At first, when Li Yue brought it up, it seemed far-fetched to him, but after Li Yue’s analysis, he started to think it made sense.

Brother Nan was not one for expressing himself, usually reserved and men of few words. If he truly had this idea, taking Shen Mianmian as a goddaughter might be quite a good idea.

After all, Brother Nan was on his own in Licheng, and Shen Mianmian was without a home. In some ways, they could both be considered as people fallen on hard times.

With this in mind, Ruan Yiyang decided to speak before Li Yue could.

He couldn’t let Li Yue take all the credit for himself.

Clearing his throat, his expression suddenly turned serious as if he was about to discuss something important.

Noticing his demeanor, Shen Mianmian looked at him curiously, only to hear him say, "Little girl, while everyone’s here today, there are some things Brother Nan finds inconvenient to say himself, so let me break the ice for him..."

"Yiyang, that’s not cool," Li Yue huffed, interrupting him. He had figured this out, and after finally seeing through Brother Nan’s thoughts for once, Ruan Yiyang dared to steal his thunder.

He didn’t love Ruan Yiyang anymore.

Ruan Yiyang, quite magnanimously, said, "The limited edition watch I wore last time, didn’t you say you liked it? It’s yours." A watch in exchange for a chance to shine was a good deal.

"I want a carton of those cigarettes you brought back from Beijing," Li Yue raised his demands on the spot.

Those cigarettes were only sold in Beijing and even had purchasing limits; people in Licheng didn’t care for them, and they weren’t available on the market. He, however, enjoyed smoking them quite a bit, but Ruan Yiyang was so stingy that he only gave him two packs, making him feel too precious to even smoke them.

Ruan Yiyang gritted his teeth, "Deal."

"..."

Shen Mianmian blinked, looking from Ruan Yiyang to Li Yue, her curiosity growing.

What was Ruan Yiyang about to say that involved her and Brother He?

She glanced at He Nan, who was watching them with an expressionless face, seemingly also unaware of what they planned to say.

After a moment’s thought, Shen Mianmian decided to ask outright, "Brother Ruan, what did you want to say?"

When she first met He Nan and wasn’t familiar with him, she didn’t dare call him Brother He, fearing that he would think she was trying to ingratiate herself. But after experiencing so much, her mindset had changed from before.
