The room went quiet once again.

Nan Chen quietened down after venting out his frustration. He picked up a new pair of chopsticks and fed himself

some peanuts.

Ning Ran didn't dare make a sound as she dug into her food.

She was so engrossed in it that she didn't notice that her bowl had been emptied.

Nan Chen looked at her in disgust. “Are you trying to eat the bowl?”

Only then did Ning Ran put her bowl down and look up at him innocently.

“Do you want to go check on him? To comfort him? Or do you hate me for humiliating him and think it's unfair to

him?” Nan Chen asked.

Ning Ran quickly waved her hands. “No. It's not like that. You were right! He doesn't even deserve to be called a

man. Lu Jingyuan can do better than him.”

“That actress?”

“No. It's Lu Jingyuan. Their names may sound similar, but they're not related by blood at all.” Ning Ran smiled.

She was laying a trap for Nan Chen because she wanted to know if he knew who Lu Jingyuan was.

Before this, she had briefly mentioned Lu Jingyuan, but Nan Chen had said he didn't know her.

This time around, Nan Chen seemed to have forgotten all about her when Ning Ran brought up her name again.

I wonder if he has really forgotten about this woman, or he's just pretending to act as if he doesn't remember the

name.

“Oh, I remember now. Is she the one who scared those thugs away with a phone call?”

“Yes. Qiao Zhan must have told you about it. She's quite impressive, isn't she? Scaring that many people away with

one phone call.”

“No, not at all.”

“You don't think so? A woman like her can make those thugs go away. How is that not impressive to you?”

“She's been operating a huge guesthouse. This is proof that she's not weak at all. For all you know, she might just

be putting on a weak front. But one thing for sure is that she has someone to back her up. Those thugs may look

scary, but they will yield once you take down the boss. She must be from the capital if I'm not mistaken.”

“Yeah. How do you know that?”

“Qiao Zhan told me about it. That prick depended on his brother-in-law, a sergeant, to back him up. It's not hard for

someone from the capital with a little background to keep a sergeant from a small town in check. How could the

sergeant's brother-in-law make a move when the sergeant's hands are tied?”

Ning Ran nodded. “Yeah, I think so too. But she's an interesting one. Let's have dinner with her tonight. I'll introduce

her to you!”

“It's okay. I'm not interested in knowing people I have no business with.” Nan Chen declined.

This caused Ning Ran to put her guard up. Are you afraid of meeting her? Do you guys really know each other? If

that is so, I'll make you two meet no matter what.

“Oh, come on. She helped us out big time last night. We owe it to her.”

“She's been a big help to you, not me. I don't have the time and energy to meet someone I have no business with.”

“But she's a great beauty. Really. She's even prettier than Ouyang Qing.”

Nan Chen frowned. “Why did you bring up that woman?”

“Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to. Is she okay? Did you visit her?”

“Why should I visit her?” Nan Chen was livid.

Ning Ran wanted to laugh out loud. She finally succeeded in turning the tables.

“Aren't you guys super close? Childhood friends or something, right?”

“Shut up! When was I ever close to her?”

“Chill. I still remember how she used to refer to you affectionately as Chen, right?” Ning Ran smiled.

“That was back then when our families were close. We were trying to maintain a healthy relationship. Is there a

problem with that? What do you want? Can you please stop digging up the past?”

Ning Ran drew a line there, as she didn't want to overstep his boundaries.

“What I mean is, Lu Jingyuan has been taking good care of our children all this while. She was the one who brought

Erbao to the doctor. We owe it to her. I'm just hoping you can treat her to a meal to thank her. As the father of your

children, it's just common courtesy to show your gratitude when she's been such a big help to us, isn't it?”

“You caught me at a bad time,” said Nan Chen.

Ning Ran became even more suspicious after hearing what Nan Chen had to say.

Bad time? Does he actually know Lu Jingyuan? Is that why he's afraid of meeting her? For fear that he gets

exposed?

“Why is it a bad time for you?”

Nan Chen was getting slightly annoyed. “Aren't you aware why this is a bad time for me? I'm still on crutches right

now. You will have to wait till I've recovered before we meet her, right?”

So that's why. Ning Ran felt relieved after hearing him out.

“That's okay. You're still handsome even if you're disabled. You're handsome even if you're lying face-down on the

ground.”

Nan Chen's face darkened. Does she hear what she's saying? Why is she asking me to lie face-down on the ground?

Why should I? You're the one who should be lying face-down!

Ning Ran couldn't help but laugh. “I mean to say you're the best no matter what state you're in now.”

Nan Chen felt flattered by her words as his mood greatly improved. “That's more like it.” He nodded in approval.

“Then it's set. Pick me up after work, okay?” Ning Ran stood up excitedly.

“I'm not coming. I don't want to meet people who get on my nerves.” Nan Chen's pettiness was starting to surface.

Ning Ran knew he was referring to Huang Zichao. “Let it go, Sir Chen. You're on a different level from that actor.

How could you stoop so low? You're the brightest star in the sky, whereas he's just a firefly in the dark. You don't

need to mind him at all!”

Ning Ran blushed at her fake flattery, causing Nan Chen to feel uneasy.

He waved his arm and said, “That's enough. Let's go. I'll get Qiao Zhan to pick you up tonight.”

“No. I want you to pick me up,” Ning Ran said obstinately.

“Don't push your luck!”

“Since you're here, you should check in on the production team as an investor, right? They'll be happy to see you

show up, especially when you're on crutches. It shows your sincerity.”

She has a point.

He didn't want to visit the place while on crutches because he thought that would ruin his image. However, after

hearing Ning Ran out, he decided he would go, as it might even help boost his image.

All right. I'll go, then.

“Okay.” Nan Chen nodded.

Ning Ran was elated. “But you mustn't go empty-handed. You have to bring a gift for everyone since you're the big

boss.”

“Then what do you think I should give them? It's quite troublesome since there're so many of them.”

“You can give them monetary gifts. Everyone loves them. Five hundred each should be sufficient.”

He can treat this as a belated Lunar New Year gift.

Nan Chen thought that it was a good idea. She's pretty generous when it comes to spending other people's money.

So thet's why. Ning Ren felt relieved efter heering him out.

“Thet's okey. You're still hendsome even if you're disebled. You're hendsome even if you're lying fece-down on the

ground.”

Nen Chen's fece derkened. Does she heer whet she's seying? Why is she esking me to lie fece-down on the ground?

Nen Chen felt flettered by her words es his mood greetly improved. “Thet's more like it.” He nodded in epprovel.
