Xiaoxu nodded in agreement, but couldn’t help asking curiously, "Old Master, how did you think to investigate a young woman from Licheng?"
The Old Master was far away in Beijing, how did a young woman from Licheng come into his view?
"This young woman is very likely to be my future granddaughter-in-law," the Old Master He revealed with a kind smile, after waiting for over twenty years, he finally heard that his grandson had started dating.
In the past, in order to get He Nan to start dating, he even pretended to be sick and miserable, but it was all in vain. Now, it seemed, the boy had finally come to his senses.
Xiaoxu’s eyes lit up, "Xiaonan is dating someone?"
It’s like a barren tree blooming!
"Hmm," Old Master He nodded, "This lad is cunning, keeping his dating life a secret. If it wasn’t for Xiaohua coming to tell me, I would still be in the dark. I’m still not sure if the one he’s dating is that girl; I only know that he has sponsored her in Licheng. But, I feel that this girl is very likely Xiaonan’s girlfriend."
Pausing, he added, "Help me investigate a little more, find out where this girl lives now."
Knowing his grandson’s character, if he really was dating this young woman, he would most likely arrange for her to stay elsewhere.
"All right," Xiaoxu understood immediately, Old Master He wanted to sneak a peek at his future granddaughter-in-law!
In fact, he was quite curious as well, wondering what kind of girlfriend He Nan had found. The young ladies from the Cheng Family were so beautiful, yet he was not interested in them; surely this girl must be more outstanding than Miss Cheng.
Sitting in the courtyard enjoying the cool, Shen Mianmian sneezed three or four times in a row, while Yang Xiaoxi teased her from nearby.
"Mianmian, it must be Cheng Xining talking about you behind your back."
Just as Shen Mianmian was about to respond, there was a sudden knock at the door. The only person who knew they lived here was He Nan, so Yang Xiaoxi said, "Your boyfriend is here, aren’t you going to open the door quickly?" Fresh chapters posted on 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭⚑𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮⚑𝕟𝕖𝕥
"Brother He," Shen Mianmian opened the door, and standing at the doorway was indeed He Nan.
In his hands, he carried several bags filled with varieties of fruit, and Yang Xiaoxi hurried over to take the food from him.
"Brother He, you chat with Mianmian while I go wash the fruit for you to eat."
He Nan was quite wealthy and generous, renting a house for them to live in and always bringing food over, so for Yang Xiaoxi, she really hoped He Nan would visit Mianmian often.
That way, she could also share in the good fortune.
After all, since coming to Beijing, Shen Mianmian hadn’t gained any weight, but she had gained several pounds.
Brother He always brought over a lot of things, and Shen Mianmian couldn’t finish them herself, so she was responsible for helping eat them.
However, Yang Xiaoxi wasn’t the kind of person who lacked awareness; knowing that Shen Mianmian liked cleanliness, she kept the house very tidy, and the two of them living together never had any conflicts.
"Brother He, it’s cooler over here, come and sit," Shen Mianmian pulled He Nan to sit under the tree and considerately poured him a cup of cool boiled water.
He Nan picked up the cup and took a sip, casually asking, "Why didn’t you spend more time at the mall? You came back so quickly?"
Rolling her eyes, Shen Mianmian huffed, "Brother He, I suspect you’re just feigning ignorance." With the mall so close to Brother He’s company, Fu Hua was bound to visit Brother He.
He Nan chuckled, "Guessed her identity, did you?"
Although he didn’t explicitly say who ’she’ was, both understood without saying whom he was referring to.
"Mhm," Shen Mianmian nodded, "The aunt looks a lot like you, with similar features, and she was with Miss Cheng, so it didn’t take much to guess her identity."
