“You said you don’t like me, but actually deep down you love me very much, right?” “You’re even having dreams about me, just that you are too shy to express it, right?” said Nan Xing confidently.
“All mom dreams of his uncle.” Erbao suddenly interjected.
“Huh?” Nan Xing was surprised.
“Erbao, what are you saying?” Ning Ran exclaimed, her face flushed.
“I am speaking the truth! If you don’t believe me, you can check with brother.” Erbao retorted.
“You dreamt of my brother? Why would you dream of him?” Nan Xing was relentless in getting an answer out of Ning Ran.
“Are you crazy? Why would you believe what a kid said? Why would I be dreaming of him?” Ning Ran scolded Nan Xing.
“Yeah, that’s exactly what I am asking you. Why would you be dreaming of him? Don’t tell me you like my brother? No wonder you are always so cold towards me. It’s because of my brother, right?” Nan Xing was hit with a sudden realization.
“You must be mad. Who said I like him? I feel sick just by looking at his poker face!” Ning Ran shouted.
“You don’t like him? That’s good. I will convey exactly what you said to my brother later. Can you repeat what you said just now?” Nan Xing replied.
“You are crazy!” This angered Ning Ran.
“Mom said, I feel sick just by looking at his poker face!” Erbao repeated on behalf of Ning Ran.
“You again!” Ning Ran shouted at Erbao.
“But that’s what you said, mom!” Erbao retorted again.
“Ok, I will convey this message to my brother later, so that he knows you don’t like him” Nan Xing said.
“Why are you so annoying? Do you have nothing better to do?” Ning Ran asked Nan Xing.
“Want to hear the truth?” Nan Xing replied.
“No, I want to hear a lie. OF COURSE I want to know the truth!” Ning Ran yelled.
“The truth is, I think the way my brother looks at you is quite fishy too.” Nan Xing said in a serious tone.
“Crazy! All of you are crazy!” Ning Ran scolded.
“Since you said you don’t like him and he makes you feel sick, this makes things so much easier.” Nan Xing laughed.
“Don’t say such things in front of a child!” Ning Ran reprimanded Nan Xing.
“Ok.” Nan Xing kept quiet obediently. “We shall talk about it in private then.”
“Go out! Don’t kick up such a scene in my bedroom!” Ning Ran pointed at the door.
“I just wanted to ask you to get ready. We are going to eat.” Nan Xing said.
“Yay! Time to eat!” Erbao jumped in excitement.
“Didn’t you just eat?” Ning Ran looked at Erbao.
“No mom, that was lunch! It’s dinner time now!” replied Erbao.
“Don’t you guys need to rest? We are going straight to dinner?” Ning Ran thought that Nan Xing should have some rest. After all, he was the one who spent the most effort during this period of time.
“We have already rested enough. Come to the hotel restaurant after you get changed. The chef here is not bad, I’m sure you will be satisfied.” Nan Xing made a silly face and went out of the room.
Compared to that poker face Nan Chen, Nan Xing was a stark contrast.
Half an hour later, after putting on some makeup and changing into a new set of clothes, Ning Ran arrived at the restaurant with the kids.
The table was already filled with a very sumptuous meal.
Everything on the table looks so tempting to Ning Ran, except for one, the fish.
She had been eating fish for a few consecutive days, such that she felt sick just by looking at fish now.
At her seat, Erbao can’t wait to start eating.
However, she tried to restrain herself after Dabao told her to wait, even though she had to keep swallowing her saliva.
“Brother, we are all waiting for you.” Nan Xing shouted towards the door.
Nan Chen, dressed in a black suit, walked in.
After a haircut and a clean shave, Nan Chen had transformed from a ‘jungle man’ to a smart-looking, domineering CEO.
Although this person is really annoying, but he is drop dead gorgeous from all angles, Ning Ran thought to herself,
Everything about the way he looked, including his face, figure and charisma, was simply perfect.
There were good-looking men all around, but he was indeed the only one this handsome.
Following right behind Nan Chen was Zheng Lunlun, who had a style of his own, but equally good-looking.
Zheng Lunlun was manly but had softer features, which gave him a more feminine aura.
With Nan Xing, Ning Ran and the two kids also present, the restaurant server was stunned. These people must have come straight out from a painting, how can they be all so good looking?! He thought.
“Let’s start eating.” Nan Chen said after he sat down.
Upon hearing this, Erbao, who had long restrained herself, was elated and started eating immediately.
However, Ning Ran did not allow Erbao to help herself to the food first, as there were table manners to follow. Instead, Ning Ran would take whatever she wanted to eat for her.
Nan Chen took this in. A woman who bothers to teach her child manners can’t be too bad, he thought.
Even though he had not eaten such a good meal in a long time, Nan Chen still took his time to eat slowly and did not gobble down his food.
As Ning Ran came from a rich and respectable family, naturally, she was taught to have good table manners. However, Nan Chen had an air of nobility that even she couldn’t beat.
The two people who looked the most exaggerated were Erbao and Zheng Lunlun.
Zheng Lunlun had not lifted his head or spoken a single word since he started eating.
“Lunlun, slow down.” Nan Chen felt pitiful at this sight.
“Dad, this tastes so good!” Zheng Lunlun had a look of extreme contentment.
“Brother, this child can’t even recognize people now. We need to get him treated as soon as possible!” Nan Xing said with his brows furrowed.
“I have already contacted the best neurosurgeons overseas, and he will be starting treatment once we get back to Jiangcheng. I have checked, it shouldn’t be a problem, and it would be just a matter of time before he recovers.” Nan Chen said.
“That’s wonderful! Otherwise, this child would suffer so much.” Nan Xing replied.
“You’re a fake dad!” Zheng Lunlun looked at Nan Xing.
“Dad.” He looks at Nan Chen and said.
Then, he turned and looked at Ning Ran and exclaimed, “Mom!”
OMG, why did he say that?! Even though Ning Ran knew that Lunlun wasn’t able to think normally, she still felt really awkward.
“Lunlun, please get better soon. Otherwise, we would have to start sharing our mom.” Erbao sighed.
“I will be bringing Lunlun back to Jiangcheng tonight. The rest of you should rest for the night and set off tomorrow.” Nan Chen said.
“This is too rushed, brother. You should rest as well. It has been tough on you during this period of time.” Nan Xing said.
“I am fine; there is still a lot of work waiting for me to settle in the company. Grandpa has been worrying a lot; I have to get back as fast as possible. I can take a nap during the flight.” Nan Chen replied.
“Well, ok.” Nan Xing nodded.
“Mom, can we go with uncle?” Dabao asked Ning Ran.
Ning Ran was momentarily stunned. Why do these kids like that poker face so much?
“Let’s go……tomorrow.” Ning Ran replied.
Since poker face did not enjoy being in the same flight as her, she should not find trouble for herself.
“Ok.” Dabao replied obediently, although he couldn’t hide the look of disappointment on his face.
“Rest for a while before going back, your dad will be with you.” Nan Chen said gently to Dabao.
“Ok, uncle.” replied Dabao
“The children’s room has been prepared. When we return to Jiangcheng, they can stay there right away.” Nan Chen said.
What did he mean? Ning Ran felt that something wasn’t right. He was going to bring the kids back to the Nan family already?
