Nan Chen did not speak anymore.
Looking at how angry Nan Xing was, he was not sure if he would tell Nan Xing everything that had happened.
Saying the words out was not difficult, but there were some things he needed to consider.
For one, Nan Xing may not believe what he said. If that was the case, the rift between them may deepen.
Nan Xing might even misunderstand him and turn against him instead, thinking that he made up tales about his lover just because he objected to the marriage.
If that was the case, things would be even worse.
“Brother, tell me, why did you say marrying Ding Mi is a trap? We already have kids together, why are you still objecting to our marriage? Why?!”
Nan Xing got increasingly agitated.
Right from the start, Nan Chen did not agree to the marriage. But Nan Chen was also eventually the one who asked him to come back to get married.
Nan Xing was so excited when he heard that. He was so happy that he couldn’t sleep for a few days.
But once he returned to Flower City, Nan Chen suddenly changed his mind!
It felt like torture to Nan Xing. It was as though his brother had played a prank on him.
Nan Chen thought for a while before deciding not to tell Nan Xing about what had happened between Ning Ran and that guy who drove a BMW.
Not only that, there were too many matters about Ning Ran that he wanted to say. But none of them were easy to bring up.
Nan Chen wanted to find a way to stop the marriage and at the same time, protect Nan Xing from getting hurt.
It wasn’t an easy task. He had to think of a perfect plan.
“Brother, say something! Why are you keeping quiet?” Nan Xing pressed on.
“Nan Xing, if you trust me, you will know that I have my reasons in saying that. If you don’t trust me, nothing I say will mean anything.”
“I do trust you. I have always trusted you. But I hope that you can consider my feelings too. You can’t keep changing your mind about my marriage. That’s so unfair!” Nan Xing yelled.
“Ning Ran is not willing to sign any prenuptial agreement. Do you think that is ok?”
Nan Xing was stunned for a moment. “Did she say that herself?”
“Yup. She brought it up herself.” Nan Chen nodded.
“She has even thought about that?” Nan Xing couldn’t believe what he was hearing.
“It just shows that she is very scheming. Don’t underestimate her.”
Nan Chen finally thought of a reason to object to the marriage. He heaved a sigh of relief.
Most importantly, Ning Ran was the one who brought up the topic of prenuptial agreement. That made it more convincing.
“I can convince her to sign it. I will make her understand that the purpose of signing the prenuptial agreement is not for my personal gain. It concerns the assets of the entire Nan family. We have to look at the big picture.” Nan Xing would not relent.
“Do you really think you can convince her?” Nan Xing asked coldly.
“I think I can. She is not a bad woman. She is just very outspoken and can come across as insensitive at times.”
“She also said that if she marries you, you cannot divorce her in the next fifty years. If you do that, she will get two-thirds of your total assets. Are you agreeable to that?”
“Yup. Ok.”
He said ok?! Nan Chen was taken aback by Nan Xing’s reply.
“Practically speaking, that will bind you for the rest of your life. Are you ok with that?”
“What’s there to be not agreeable to? Since I want to marry her, it means that I want to spend the rest of my life with her. Fifty years is really no big deal. Even if it’s seventy years, or a hundred years, I would still say yes.” Nan Xing continued, ignoring Nan Chen’s bewilderment.
“We already have two kids together. Why would I want to divorce her and find a stepmom for the kids? Even though I am no saint, I still have a clear mind when it comes to major decisions like this. I may have fooled around for quite a bit in the past, but once I get married, I intend for it to last. So Ning Ran’s request is not too much for me.”
Nan Xing was known for being a rich playboy in Flower City. There were countless women, including actresses and socialites, who were associated with him.
As such, Nan Chen did not expect to hear those words coming from his brother.
