Rebirth in the 80s: The Scholar Wife is Cute
Chapter 439 Highlight Moment 2

Chapter 439: Chapter 439 Highlight Moment 2

Calling someone brother is just a term of respect, He Nan and the others would never think too much of it.

As soon as Shen Mianmian’s voice faded, Ruan Yiyang said, "From now on, you should not call me Ruan Big Brother."

Shen Mianmian: "..."

Then what should I call you?

Facing her puzzled gaze, Ruan Yiyang smirked mischievously, "You should call me Uncle Ruan."

If Shen Mianmian considered He Nan to be her godfather, and he was of the same generation as He Nan, he would definitely have to go up a generation as well. Otherwise, wouldn’t he end up a generation shorter than Shen Mianmian, having to call He Nan ’Uncle’?

That would not do.

"Ah?"

Shen Mianmian almost choked to death on her own saliva, at one point believing that there was something wrong with her hearing.

Call Ruan Yiyang "Uncle Ruan"?

What kind of weird move was this?

He Nan also instantly frowned, looking at Ruan Yiyang with an unfriendly gaze, the only one who remained relatively calm was Li Yue.

"Ruan..." Shen Mianmian managed to utter just one syllable before her tongue tied in a knot, unsure of how to address him. She simply avoided the honorific and directly asked, "Where did this come from?"

She regarded him as an elder brother, yet he wanted to be her uncle.

"It’s like this." Ruan Yiyang’s expression became serious again, speaking of serious matters, he had to look the part, "Mianmian, what do you think of my brother He Nan?"

As he spoke, he realized that his question was not quite right, so he corrected himself, "How do you think brother He Nan treats you?"

Upon hearing this, He Nan also looked towards her, seemingly curious about her response as well.

Shen Mianmian: "..."

Had Ruan Yiyang lost his mind?

Even after having been reborn, she could no longer fathom Ruan Yiyang’s intentions.

First, he asked her to call him Uncle, and now he was asking her how Big Brother He treated her. Did he really expect an answer?

But since he asked, out of politeness, Shen Mianmian gave an honest response.

"Brother He is a very good person, and he is also very good to me." She paused for a moment, then added, "Better than my own parents."

To others, this might sound rather ungrateful, but only Shen Mianmian herself knew this was the truth.

He Nan, listening to her words, showed no emotion on his face, as if what she said had nothing to do with him.

Upon hearing this, both Ruan Yiyang and Li Yue’s eyes suddenly brightened. Shen Mianmian’s words indicated that she also had some paternal feelings towards He Nan. Otherwise, she would not compare him with her parents.

This was good; since He Nan was interested, and Mianmian was too, it was sure to happen.

Ruan Yiyang, who originally had some reservations, decided not to beat around the bush and spoke his mind.

"Mianmian, Brother He treats you well, but actually, there is a reason for that."

A reason?

What reason?

Shen Mianmian looked toward He Nan.

Could it be that all these words were instigated by Brother He for Ruan Yiyang to say?

Was today’s dinner planned in advance?

Just for this moment?

What could the reason be?

She pursed her lips, no matter what, she believed that Brother He’s kindness to her was genuine. If Brother He needed help with anything, she would do her utmost to assist.

As her thoughts settled, she heard Ruan Yiyang say something shocking: "Mianmian, Brother He, being wise beyond his years, although he is not old, has a maturity beyond most people. In fact, he has always seen you as a daughter. I think you also hold Brother He in high regard as an elder, so why not just recognize Brother He as your godfather?"

As he finished speaking, Ruan Yiyang and Li Yue looked at them expectantly, waiting to witness a highlight moment.

The air fell silent, the surrounding quiet as if time itself had stood still.

Shen Mianmian’s mouth opened slightly in surprise, and after a long while, she mechanically turned her head toward He Nan, "Brother He, is this also your intention?"

So, Brother He really always wanted to be her dad?

He Nan had even clarified it before, and she had thought she was overthinking.
