He Nan nodded, his chin resting on top of her head, inhaling the faint fragrance of her hair, as if his blood were about to boil.
The reaction of his body made him frown. Starting from this year, every time he hugged her, his body reacted very honestly—and if not for his strong self-control...
He Nan took a deep breath, suppressing his impure thoughts.
"Since we’ve decided to live here, let’s move in today. You can stay in my room."
"That works too," Shen Mianmian pretended not to notice his abnormality, nodding earnestly. After all, her lease was almost up, so moving now would be good too.
So, He Nan, who had originally planned to return to Beijing, postponed his trip by half a day.
In the evening, when Xiaocui returned home from work and opened the door, she was baffled. Everything had been fine in the morning, but by evening, her things had vanished.
She stood at the doorway of the bedroom for a while until Shen Mianmian, hearing the noise, came over from the opposite side. Seeing Xiaocui in a daze, she couldn’t help but chuckle.
"I’m not planning on renting the place next door anymore, so from now on, you’ll live here. It’s even more comfortable at Brother He’s place than ours; there’re even color TVs. Come, let me show you."
"Moving in with Brother He?"
Xiaocui felt a bit uneasy; she was somewhat afraid of Brother He.
Reading her mind, Shen Mianmian reassured her, "Don’t worry, Brother He will probably seldom come back from now on. He’s bought this place, so if we stay here, we won’t have to pay rent."
Xiaocui had been aware of the couple’s relationship for some time, so the news of moving to Brother He’s place didn’t surprise her too much.
Shen Mianmian led Xiaocui to He Nan’s residence. Xiaocui walked around cautiously, making Shen Mianmian feel a mixture of amusement and sympathy.
"Xiaocui, don’t be nervous. Just treat this place like the one across the street," she said as she took Xiaocui to the spare bedroom. "I’ve made the bed for you, your clothes are in the closet. Because Brother He was going back to Beijing, I didn’t get a chance to inform you. Don’t mind it, okay?"
Xiaocui’s belongings were not many; aside from a few sets of clothes, she only had three pairs of shoes and some toiletries.
"Mianmian, you helped me move my stuff, I should be thanking you, how could I mind?" Xiaocui hesitated for a moment before voicing the question at the bottom of her heart, "Mianmian, the lease for the vegetable store is about to expire, are you still planning to renew it?"
Lately, Dajun, Zhang Qian, and she had all been contemplating this question.
Since starting work, they had always enjoyed working at the vegetable store and got along well. To be honest, they would feel quite lost if the vegetable store were to close.
Because elsewhere, they wouldn’t find work as good as this. However, if Mianmian didn’t plan to keep the store open, they could understand that too. After all, Mianmian was heading to Beijing and wouldn’t really have the energy to look after things here. Fınd the newest release on 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡⚑𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚⚑𝙣𝙚𝙩
Shen Mianmian took Xiaocui by the hand and sat on the sofa in the living room, "I was actually planning to discuss this matter with you all tomorrow, but since you’ve asked now, I’ll share my thoughts with you in advance!"
Xiaocui nodded and waited patiently for Shen Mianmian to speak.
Shen Mianmian said, "I plan to keep the vegetable store going. It’s just that being in Beijing, I might not be able to look after things here much. You and Brother Jun will have to put in a bit more effort."
Xiaocui’s eyes lit up, "Mianmian, do you really plan to keep it going?"
"Yes!" Shen Mianmian nodded, "The vegetable store is doing well, and I’m still not sure what I’ll do in Beijing. It’s better to keep the store running for now."
