Chapter 721: Why are you looking at me like that, Brother Nan?
To tell the truth, based on what she knew about He Nan, she wouldn’t be surprised if He Nan never married in his lifetime.
To her, the idea of He Nan having a girlfriend was as unlikely as a steel tree blooming.
"Sister Shiping, I started dating Big Brother He since last year. I was afraid Uncle Li would worry about my studies, so I’ve been, like, not saying anything, I was planning, to tell you guys, these days, but I didn’t expect..." At this point, she bit her tongue awkwardly.
"You’re right to worry. If my dad had known you were dating He Nan last year, he definitely would have had a talk with you, knowing his temper," Li Shiping said.
Mianmian, held back by love, and Xiaoyue, held back by his career, neither lived up to Dad’s expectations. Now Dad pinned all his hopes on Little Mianmian, and if he knew she was in a premature relationship, he would definitely have a heart-to-heart with her.
Shen blinked and tentatively asked, "Sister Shiping, what do you think about Big Brother He and me dating?"
Li Shiping smiled, "Mianmian, you don’t have to be too nervous. Mom and I were just too surprised, we didn’t expect the two of you to be together, especially since He Nan is usually quite serious. But he is a good person, and apart from being much older than you, he’s very suitable for you in every way. Besides, age isn’t really a problem, my dad is six years older than my mom."
Before, Li Shiping had always seen Shen Mianmian as a little sister. Now, knowing that she was dating He Nan and looking at her again, she realized that Mianmian had grown into a tall and beautiful young lady.
Upon hearing this, Shen Mianmian felt instantly reassured. She considered the Li family as her own, and their acceptance was especially important to her. "Sister Shiping, Uncle Li will definitely be angry when he finds out we’ve kept it from him for so long, so you’ll have to put in a good word for us when the time comes!"
"Don’t worry! Dad will just be angry for a bit, a few soothing words and he’ll be fine," assured Li Shiping, knowing her father’s temperament well.
Shen Mianmian nodded, "Then let’s go down and help Aunt Xu with cooking!"
