Upon hearing He Nan’s words, Shen Mianmian was overjoyed, her fears that Big Brother He might be too stubborn now seemed unfounded.
"Big Brother He, I’ll take care of the people upfront, and I’ll trouble you with the house purchase afterward."
If she didn’t show up, there was only one way to do it: it was for He Nan to have someone buy the house and then she would buy it back from that person.
The process was a bit troublesome, but fortunately, in this era, buying a house and going through the procedures was also relatively convenient.
Watching her lips curl up with happiness, He Nan’s mood also inexplicably brightened. "You don’t need to worry about these matters, I’ll handle them."
"Thank you, Big Brother He."
Shen Mianmian felt an indescribable sense of trust towards He Nan, perhaps because he was the first person she felt warmth from after her rebirth, or maybe it was because of his former military status.
In any case, Shen Mianmian trusted him deeply; as long as he promised something, she felt secure.
He Nan nodded slightly, accepting her thanks, then asked casually, "Is the money in your hands enough?"
"It’s enough." Shen Mianmian didn’t hide it from him and replied directly, "I now have over twenty-five thousand on me. If we can buy the house at the anticipated price, there will still be some money left over. But even if there’s none left, it’s okay, the vegetable store always has income."
Being a ten-thousand yuan household in this era meant living a pretty good life, calling her a little rich lady was no exaggeration at all.
"Mhm." He Nan nodded.
Neither of them spoke anymore, as if they had suddenly run out of topics. Shen Mianmian felt the atmosphere grow a bit awkward, so she stood up.
"Big Brother He, it’s getting late, I..."
Before she could finish her sentence, He Nan suddenly asked, "Why have you been avoiding me lately?"
Caught off guard by his sudden question, Shen Mianmian was stunned, then guiltily lowered her head and countered, "Big Brother He, are you mistaken? I haven’t been avoiding you."
Seeing her gaze fixed on her toes, He Nan frowned, "When did you develop the habit of looking down?"
She could feel his gaze fully on her, and her awkward toes almost curled into a three-bedroom flat.
Suddenly, she sneezed uncontrollably.
Seeing this, He Nan said, "Caught a cold?"
"No, just had an itchy nose a moment ago."
He Nan stared at the top of her head for a while and then said, "Go back and sleep early."
Hearing this, Shen Mianmian immediately stood up, "Big Brother He, you should also sleep early."
After speaking, she quickly walked out as if she was being chased by a ghost.
Watching her flustered departure, a hint of an almost imperceptible smile flashed in the depths of He Nan’s eyes; she was finally beginning to catch on.
She was still young, there was plenty of time, and since she didn’t want to face it now, he didn’t want to force her.
Back in her room, Shen Mianmian let out a sigh of relief, patting her own flushed cheeks, scolding herself for being weak.
After all, she was an old auntie who had lived two lifetimes; how could she be scared by Big Brother He ?
Even if Big Brother He was good-looking or formidable, he was still her junior! ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩⁂𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢⁂𝔫𝔢𝔱
At this thought, Shen Mianmian became conflicted again. Would she have to find an uncle close to her soul’s age to be her husband in the future?
Those around her own physical age were much younger than her soul.
It was a really troublesome issue.
Forget it, she’s still young anyway. These problems can wait a few years before she thinks about them!
