Shen Mianmian also found it strange, as she had already made it abundantly clear last time. Could Ruan Yiqian still be here to do some sort of ideological work? Official source ıs 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹•𝑓𝑖𝑟𝑒•𝙣𝙚𝙩
If that was the case, she really wouldn’t be able to maintain such a good mindset this time.
Seemingly discerning their thoughts and worried they might misunderstand, Ruan Yiqian quickly clarified, "Don’t overthink it. I’m not here to cause trouble this time, I’m just..."
At this point, even Ruan Yiqian didn’t know how to continue. How should he explain to Shen Mianmian?
Could he tell her that the police investigation suggested that Shen Mianmian was very likely his sister, but he wasn’t completely certain, and now there was a DNA test available that could identify relatives, which he wanted to try?
But what if she wasn’t? How would he handle the situation?
Before he left, he had just said a bunch of nonsense to Shen Mianmian.
For the first time in his life, Ruan Yiqian regretted something he had said.
Shen Mianmian found his expression somewhat strange. "Big Brother Ruan, weren’t you in Licheng looking for your sister? Did you find her?"
"I found her," Ruan Yiqian looked at Shen Mianmian and said, "but it’s not confirmed yet. We need to do a DNA test to make sure, and we are waiting for the results."
Shen Mianmian’s mind stirred and she couldn’t help asking, "Does Big Brother He know about this?"
Ruan Yiqian shook his head. "He’s away on a business trip, he doesn’t know yet."
Shen Mianmian felt somewhat relieved inside. She had thought that Big Brother He, hearing that Ruan Mianmian had been found, might have gone to Licheng as well.
It seemed that was not the case.
"Then what are you here for?" Yang Xiaoxi couldn’t help but ask.
The usually shrewd man was once again at a loss for words.
Indeed! How could he explain the purpose of his visit?
Could he say that he had come to see Shen Mianmian?
Being a businessman, Ruan Yiqian was quick-witted. He gathered his emotions and explained, "Here’s the thing, I’ve been reflecting over the past few days, and I feel what I said the other day was a bit excessive, so I’ve come to apologize to Mianmian."
Although the DNA test hadn’t been done yet, Ruan Yiqian was eighty percent sure that Shen Mianmian was his sister. He had always thought she looked like his mother when she was young, only to be misled by He Nan at the time.
However, it was better to wait for the test results before making any announcements, to avoid disappointing his mother and causing Shen Mianmian unnecessary alarm.
To be honest, he didn’t even know how to face Shen Mianmian now.
"Apologizing?" Shen Mianmian raised an eyebrow, always feeling that there was something odd about Ruan Yiqian, "Big Brother Ruan, there’s no need to apologize. What you said that day, although I didn’t like hearing it, was true."
"Exactly." Yang Xiaoxi nodded in agreement. "After you left, your mother even came to look for Mianmian. It’s really strange, why didn’t you both come together?"
"My mom also came?" Ruan Yiqian had a sinking feeling in his heart, and a bad premonition, "What did she say?"
"Pretty much the same as you!" Shen Mianmian glanced at him and said, "You just came back from Licheng, right? Why didn’t you go straight home to tell Aunt Ruan the good news? I think she would be very happy to hear it."
Ruan Yiqian looked at Shen Mianmian. "The DNA test results aren’t out yet. It’s not certain whether she’s my sister, so it’s probably better not to tell her just yet."
"How considerate of you," Yang Xiaoxi said with a sneer.
The three of them had been standing at the door for a while. Shen Mianmian was planning to go inside, so she courteously asked, "Big Brother Ruan, would you like to come in for a cup of tea?"
Ruan Yiqian’s eyes lit up as he directly nodded in agreement.
