“Mr. Nan runs a very big company, so he has a lot of things to do. He is a very busy man, so it would be difficult to meet him.” Cheng Xiangyun explained to them how hard it would be to introduce Nan Chen to Ning Ran.
Dabao and Erbao went into deep thought at the same time. Dabao held his cheeks with both hands, and Erbao followed suit. Cheng Xiangyun nearly fainted from how adorable they looked.
“Telephone.” Dabao had an idea.
Cheng Xiangyun shook her head, “I don’t have Mr. Nan’s phone number. He’s a big shot, and ordinary people like us wouldn’t know his personal phone number.”
“Work telephone.” Dabao said again.
“You mean calling up his company phone number to arrange a meetup? That would probably be even harder to do. Even if they’re someone you know personally, you’d still have to make an appointment in advance to see them. Seeing as we don’t even know him personally, it’d be so much more difficult to get an appointment with him.”
Dabao frowned; Erbao scratched her head.
If none of that could work, what else could they do?
“Block him at the entrance.” Dabao came up with a new idea once again.
“That’s out of the question. He doesn’t go to work like how normal employees do. We don’t even know when he enters and leaves the office.” “And besides, the building security would chase us off.”
Dabao’s frown deepened. Erbao did the same as her brother to express her disappointment and sadness.
“There’s no need to rush this. Mr. Nan is also an investor in the film that mommy’s in, so he will occasionally come to the set. Tomorrow, I’ll try asking the director when his next visit would be. When the time comes, I’ll take you there and you can talk to him directly, okay?”
“With such pretty faces like yours, I’m sure that Mr. Nan would like you both. You two will definitely be able to do what others can’t.”
Dabao and Erbao both nodded their heads.
“What are you all chatting about?” Ning Ran entered the room.
Dabao and Erbao turned to look at Cheng Xiangyun, and hinted at her to keep it a secret.
“Nothing much, really. These angels were telling me all about their experiences living overseas. We had a really nice chat!”
“Is that so? Then why do they look so nervous?”
Naturally, Ning Ran saw right through her children’s unusual behavior. She was their mother, after all.
“They’re not nervous at all. We really did have a great chat! Dabao and Erbao are such mature children.”
“It’s time to memorize your vocabulary. After that, it’s bedtime.” Ning Ran said with a stern look on her face.
When Dabao and Erbao heard what mommy said, they went back to their rooms to memorize the vocabulary.
Cheng Xiangyun motioned for Ning Ran to sit down to have a little chat.
“Say, have you really not thought about finding a boyfriend?” “Do you really plan to be single forever?”
“Aren’t you single as well? Talk about the pot calling the kettle black!” Ning Ran shot back at her.
“It’s different for me. You see, I do have suitors. I just set the bar a bit high, so I haven’t agreed to date any of them.”
That made Ning Ran unhappy, “So you’re saying that I should throw myself at others because no one likes me?”
Cheng Xiangyun waved at her, “No, I didn’t mean it like that! I meant to say that it’s not easy for you to raise two children like that. So, why not find a man to help take care of them together? It’d be a lot easier that way.”
Ning Ran shook her head, “I don’t want to get my kids a stepfather that they wouldn’t like. These children are my life. To me, they are all that matters.”
“Then find one that they like and you’re good to go! Take Nan Chen for example.”
Ning Ran almost spat out the water she was drinking, “Who?” “Poker Face?” “He’s such a jerk! Why would I even like him?!”
“Do you know how many women in Flower City wish they could date Mr. Nan? And you call him Poker Face?”
“But he really does have a poker face! On top of that, he doesn’t talk much either. He’s always got that entitled look on his face, and it irritates me just looking at it. Besides, don’t you forget, he’s Luo Fei’s boyfriend!” “It’s impossible for me to be with him! Are you kidding me right now?”
Cheng Xiangyun too, found this plan to be too unrealistic.
