Shen Mianmian returned home that evening and mentioned to He Nan that she had seen Ruan Lingyu, but she didn't go into details, simply stating the matter briefly. He Nan's brow furrowed, his eyes filled with concern, and also a trace of chill.
"If you feel indifferent towards the Ruan Family, just pretend they don't exist. No one can make a fuss over your birth."
The reference was clear without being stated.
Although Shen Mianmian had never mentioned this in front of him before, He Nan knew that she didn't want to acknowledge the Ruan Family, didn't want to break that layer of window paper, which was why he hadn't continued the topic last time.
If she didn't want to face it, then they wouldn't face it. Without the Ruan Family, he could still protect her unharmed.
If the identity of Ruan Mianmian could bring her an extra bit of warmth, and if she was willing to accept that warmth, he wouldn't interfere or obstruct. Otherwise, he supported any decision Shen Mianmian made.
