Chapter 443: Chapter 443 Paving the Way 1

Li Yue and Ruan Yiyang are both shrewd people, but occasionally they get a bit worked up over He Nan’s affairs, not because their brains have issues or their thoughts are bizarre.

It’s just that Brother Nan, as a person, is really difficult to figure out.

But this time, they instantly understood what he meant.

Brother Nan was asking them to acknowledge Shen Mianmian as their sworn sister, and this time, neither Li Yue nor Ruan Yiyang could take it lightly.

Others might not know what it means to have Shen Mianmian recognize them as sworn brothers, but they understood very well that although the Li Family doesn’t hold a position in Licheng where a single stomp could shake the city, it’s still not an average family.

Ruan Yiyang hasn’t achieved much so far, but behind him stands the Ruan Family from Beijing. With a connection to the two of them and He Nan’s protection, this young girl would hardly be bullied by anyone in Licheng or Beijing.

What is Brother Nan up to?

The two of them couldn’t grasp He Nan’s thoughts, and their expressions suddenly turned serious.

Shen Mianmian also noticed the change in atmosphere, but she wisely kept silent. Regardless of He Nan’s intentions, he was helping her. In such a situation, it would not be a wise choice to reject his kindness.

Since Brother He had spoken up, there must have been a reason.

Though it seemed like a long time had passed, it was actually just a few seconds when He Nan raised his eyebrows and asked them in a deep voice, "Any objections?"

No sooner had his words fallen than Ruan Yiyang was the first to express his stance, "No objections."

Looking after a young girl is nothing, no matter what He Nan’s thoughts are. As long as He Nan wanted to look out for her, he would definitely do his best.

"I have even less of a problem," Li Yue immediately echoed, "Actually, I’ve always quite liked Little Mianmian. If it wasn’t for thinking you wanted to acknowledge her as your goddaughter, I would have taken her as my sworn sister long ago."

He Nan was very satisfied with their responses, "Since you both are willing, go through the formalities tomorrow."

Ruan Yiyang: "..."

Li Yue: "..."

Shen Mianmian: "..."

So... just like that, she’s gained two sworn brothers?

He Nan stood up, "Mianmian, come with me to the study."

"Oh!"

Shen Mianmian glanced at Ruan Yiyang and Li Yue, then quickly followed him.

When they reached the door of the study, he suddenly stopped, turned back, and instructed, "You two, clean up the bowls and chopsticks in the kitchen before you leave."

"..."

The corners of Ruan Yiyang and Li Yue’s mouths twitched simultaneously—the price of this meal seemed a bit steep.

Shen Mianmian followed He Nan into the study, where he signaled her to sit on the sofa. He then stepped out and came back with a warm cup of water in his hand, closed the door, and handed the cup to her.

"Do you have any objections to recognizing them as your brothers?"

Shen Mianmian shook her head, replying earnestly, "No, to have them as my sworn brothers is like being hit by a lucky pie from the sky. I can hardly believe such good fortune would fall upon me."

Having her recognize Ruan Yiyang and Li Yue as sworn brothers was different from recognizing He Nan as her godfather. She wasn’t at a loss at all; from any angle, it was a great advantage for her.

Even if there were objections to be had, it should have been them voicing them.

Although she didn’t know why He Nan had this idea, she trusted him. He Nan would not harm her; there must have been his reasons.

Her thoughts had barely settled when she heard He Nan say indifferently, "Li Yue’s father is a well-known professor who, despite being retired, is still teaching at No. 1 Middle School."

Shen Mianmian’s eyes lit up, and then she heard him say, "Ruan Yiyang is from Beijing."

He didn’t give any more introduction to Ruan Yiyang, but this phrase "from Beijing" alone was enough to shock Shen Mianmian.
