On the way back, Erbao was still very lively but Ning Ran was about to doze off.
The discussion she had had earlier with Nan Xing on marriage did not end with an outcome.
She agreed to get married, but would only decide on the date after reviewing the terms and conditions of the prenuptial agreement.
Ning Ran had initially wanted to delay the process, as she did not want to marry him.
This did not mean that she had not dreamt of walking down the aisle in a grand wedding, nor that she was not interested in forming a complete family.
She felt that something was not right between the two of them, but could not exactly figure out the problem.
So the best option would be to delay the process, until she figured it out.
Upon reaching Cheng Xiangyun’s tiny neighborhood, Nan Xing looked up at the ordinary house and frowned.
“It’s time to move to a better place, somewhere more spacious. How about this — if you do not wish to stay in the Nan’s residence, I’ll buy you one elsewhere.”
Ning Ran froze for a bit and immediately rejected the offer, “No thanks, it is fine staying here. Sometimes when I’m busy, Cheng can take care of the kids for me.”
“But this house is way too small for so many people….”
“Are you implying those who do not stay in large mansions are not worthy of being called ‘humans’?” Ning Ran was annoyed.
“What I mean is, there are too many people living in this small unit. Even if she’s your good friend, it just doesn’t seem right. I’ll buy you a villa. You can invite your friend to move in as well.”
“No thanks, really. We’re doing just fine here. Once I’ve earned enough money, I’ll buy my own house.” Ning Ran did not want to owe Nan Xing a favor.
Moreover, she enjoyed staying here. There was Cheng Xiangyun to help cook, do house chores and take care of the children. It was almost like hiring a nanny for free. Where else could she enjoy these kinds of benefits?
Moreover, she would have to take care of a lot of things on her own should they really move out. At this point, she did not have enough time and energy to take on a heavier workload.
“Fine. Since we’re going to get married in a few days, you will eventually move to our place. We’ll talk about this then.”
Nan Xing had to give in since Ning Ran opposed the idea.
While Nan Xing and Ning Ran were discussing houses, a group of men had approached a BMW that was parked right across the street.
The person in the car was Feng Minsheng, who had brought Ning Ran a bouquet of flowers during the day.
He was waiting at the neighborhood’s entrance for Ning Ran, but decided to hide after seeing Nan Xing.
But that group of men had still spotted and got hold of him.
“Who are you? What are you doing?” Feng Minsheng shouted.
“Our boss wants to talk to you. Come with us.”
The Nan family’s security captain Qiao Zhan, who had a pair of sunglasses on at night, looked like someone you would not want to mess with.
“Who’s your boss, and what does he want?”
“Stop talking. You’ll know when you see him.”
Feng Minsheng was brought to a center with dimly-lit rooms. A man with his back turned was enjoying a drink alone.
Feng Minsheng could only see his back and felt that he had seen this body shape before. What was even more familiar was the cold aura he exuded.
The man heard footsteps but did not turn around. He only lifted his fingers gently.
“What’s your name?” Qian Zhan started asking.
“Who are these people? Why did you bring me here?” Feng Minsheng shouted.
“I asked you first.” Qiao Zhan responded coldly.
“Wh… why should I answer you. I don’t even know who you are…”
Qiao Zhan’s punch landed on him, followed by several rounds of kicking, before he could finish his sentence.
BANG!
