Chapter 792: Chapter 792 Not a Bad Deal to Take the Blame for This Pot.

Before Shen Mianmian could speak, Ruan Yiqian added, "Mianmian, actually, with your intelligence, you should understand that after you graduate, you’ll have a good job, and now you have some savings. Returning to Licheng, no matter which family you marry into, you’ll have a good life. There’s really no need for you to wade into the muddy waters of the He Family. You and Xiaonan being together might not be good for either of you. If you two separate, both of you would be much more relaxed."

Ruan Yiqian’s thinking was quite simple: in his view, it was better to marry someone suitable to avoid a lot of trouble in the future. For instance, if Cheng Xining married He Nan, it would save He Nan a lot of trouble.

If Shen Mianmian left He Nan, she could also save herself a lot of trouble.

Shen Mianmian smiled faintly, a beautiful smile, "Big Brother Ruan, I know you came to say all this for Miss Cheng’s sake. I understand your affection for Miss Cheng, but how can you be so sure that if I leave Big Brother He, he will definitely marry Miss Cheng? They have known each other since childhood, and calling them childhood sweethearts wouldn’t be an exaggeration. If Big Brother He had any feelings for Miss Cheng, I think it would be hard for me to get in the way, right?"

Ruan Yiqian’s fondness for Cheng Xining was something she could understand, but that didn’t mean she had to sacrifice her own happiness for the sake of his love.

"..." Ruan Yiqian was rendered speechless by her question, and he pursed his lips before responding, "You’re right. Xiaonan indeed doesn’t have any feelings for Xining, but if you leave Xiaonan, it would save him a lot of trouble. Even if he doesn’t marry Xining, he will marry someone of equal social standing, and Xining might not find it so hard to accept."

"Big Brother Ruan, I’m sorry, but I can’t contribute to your affectionate actions for Miss Cheng," Shen Mianmian said evenly, without any hint of anger, and her tone was light but resolute, "You’re right, even if I leave Big Brother He, I won’t have a bad life relying on myself, but where else can I find someone like Big Brother He, who likes me, is so capable, and has such a strong background? As long as I’m with Big Brother He, even if I don’t strive for anything in the future, I can reach the peak directly and live a worry-free life for the rest of my life. Why would I leave him? I’m no saint. I don’t have such a compassionate heart. I’ve never been on good terms with Miss Cheng, nor will I do anything for her."

From their conversation, Shen Mianmian had already figured out that in Ruan Yiqian’s eyes, she was a calculating woman. If that was the case, she didn’t need to explain too much; it was better to just admit it.

Anyway, if she really did marry Big Brother He in the future, regardless of whether she was attracted to his external qualities, she would still get all of that. Carrying this pot wouldn’t be a loss.

Ruan Yiqian did not expect Shen Mianmian to admit her motives so frankly; he thought she would say that she really liked He Nan, that she couldn’t leave He Nan, and such.

Since things had come to this point, he spoke even more directly, "Marrying Xiaonan, you could indeed live that kind of life, but Grandpa He and Aunt Fu would not like you. They wouldn’t agree to your relationship. Forcing yourself into the He Family, you would also suffer a lot."

"Facing unreasonable in-laws, it would be hard marrying into any family. Even marrying below my station would be useless. It’s all about taking a gamble anyway, so why shouldn’t I opt for a better choice?"

Ruan Yiqian: "..."

He looked at Shen Mianmian and said, "How do you think Xiaonan would view you if he knew this was what you thought?"
