“You don’t want to go to Africa?”
Nan Xing shook his head immediately and said, “Nope, not even a little.”
Nan Chen turned to Zheng Lunlun next and asked, “Don’t want to face the paparazzi?”
“No way!” replied Zheng Lunlun immediately.
“Fine, then I’ll give you both one last chance,” said Nan Chen coldly, “Regardless of what happens next, the two of you are not allowed to be in contact with that woman!”
Nan Xing and Zheng Lunlun turned to one another. They were confused about what Nan Chen was trying to say.
“In other words, the two of you are not allowed to help her, no matter what happens,” explained Nan Chen.
The two men looked at each other again.
“You don’t agree with my terms? Okay, I’ll have someone buy the plane tickets for you.”
“No, wait,” said Nan Xing quickly to admit defeat, “I agree, I agree!”
“I will have someone bring you to the hospital right now. The specialist known for treating stutters is there and your treatment will begin tomorrow. While being treated, you are not to leave the hospital!”
“Okay uncle, but…” Zheng Lunlun wanted to say more on Ning Ran’s behalf, but his stuttering was acting up again. Nan Chen’s deadly glare made it even more impossible for Zheng Lunlun to talk.
Zheng Lunlun knew that Nan Chen could be stubborn. He also knew that the more they tried to help Ning Ran, the worse off she would be, so they had to listen to Nan Chen for the moment. They had to let Nan Chen cool off before they spoke again, so Zheng Lunlun kept his mouth shut.
Nan Chen didn’t speak after he saw that Zheng Lunlun had decided to keep quiet. Nan Chen was relieved then because he had finally dealt with his family.
That woman was too scheming, and if those two weren’t under constant supervision, they would be tricked.
There was no other way. He had to start dealing with his family first.
At that moment, Nan Xing’s phone rang. It was Ning Ran.
Nan Xing checked his phone then turned to Nan Chen.
“She called?”
“Yes.”
“Tell her that the kids are asleep and would be sent to school tomorrow so she didn’t need to worry.”
“Okay.”
Nan Xing picked up the phone and repeated what Nan Chen had told him to say.
Still, Nan Xing didn’t want Ning Ran to be overly worried so he added, “Don’t worry, the kids are sleeping really well. You should rest up too.”
Nan Chen’s eyes were angry and were warning Nan Xing so Nan Xing quickly hung up.
……
On the other side, Ning Ran couldn’t sleep well at all.
Although she knew that the kids were safe with the Nan family, she was still worried because the kids had mostly been with her.
When dawn came, Ning Ran got sleepy and went to sleep, but she was soon woken up by Cheng Xiangyun’s screams.
Cheng Xiangyun’s scream came from the living room, but it managed to wake Ning Ran up even though the bedroom door was closed. That was just how loud Cheng Xiangyun had been.
It was a voice that was louder than a lion’s roar and could alert both Heaven and Hell.
Ning Ran was scared out of her bed and rushed to the living room without putting her slippers on first. In the living room, Ning Ran saw Cheng Xiangyun holding her own mobile phone and was jumping around like a terrifying and crazy person.
What could have happened to get her into a state like this? Did she get dumped? Wait, that didn’t seem possible because Cheng Xiangyun hadn’t been in contact with any men and didn’t even have a crush. How could she have been dumped?
Ning Ran rushed over anyway to hug Cheng Xiangyun tightly. “What is it? What’s wrong?” asked Ning Ran, “Don’t worry. There’s nothing scary about being dumped. We’ll just replace him with an uglier… ah no, I mean, a more handsome boyfriend.”
“That is amazing,” Cheng Xiangyun’s crazy dance kept going as she said, “That is amazing!”
“Don’t think about how amazing he is. If he doesn’t love you, he doesn’t love you,” said Ning Ran who was trying to calm Cheng Xiangyun down, “Don’t think about him anymore. It’s okay. You still have me.”
Ning Ran finally understood what was happening with Cheng Xiangyun. It’s just a Weibo account. Do you really need to act so crazy?
