“I’ve owed Zheng Lunlun a couple hundred thousand for quite a while now, but I never had the financial capabilities to repay him. That was how he pressured me into taking him out for dinner that day, and how the rumors began. It is useless to try and pressure me into paying because I am too poor.”
Nan Chen’s lips were shaking with pure rage. She wasn’t ashamed of her condition, but was proud of how terrible it was?!
How utterly shameless!
Ning Ran was so glad to be able to fight back that she had almost forgotten about the situation she was in.
Ning Ran realized her mistake soon and straightened herself before saying, “That is not something I wanted to happen. I hope that Sir Chen is understanding toward a struggling actress who has to take care of two kids.”
Ning Ran regretted her words the moment she said them. Those last few words about the kids were her biggest mistakes.
She knew that Nan Chen was trying to use the money to take her kids away, yet she brought them up. How stupid was she?
As suspected, the bright Nan Chen caught the mistake and used it against her. “You don’t need to worry about the kids anymore because we’ll take care of them. You can focus on working and repaying your debt. We will draft a legal notice and give you one year to repay all 2.4 million.”
Ning Ran wanted to slap herself hard. Dumbass! You knew there was something up his sleeve, but you still step on that trap. Did you lose all your brain cells? Idiot! Why can’t you talk without making any mistakes? Like that man does!
“I take back what I said!”
Nan Chen stared at Ning Ran with distance in his eyes, but he didn’t speak.
You want to take back what you said? No way! Not even in your dreams!
“I’ll take care of the kids myself. As for the 2.4 million loss, it’s not entirely my fault.”
“We kept moving and changing shooting sites, but those haters found our exact location.”
“That proves that someone on the insides had leaked the information so this whole thing is a set-up.”
“Sir Chen is so smart and powerful. I am sure your beautiful mind can see through all this and find the real culprits.”
Ning Ran’s sudden praise had Nan Chen frowning because he wasn’t used to that kind of treatment.
In fact, he was uncomfortable with Ning Ran being so nice to him. He felt like a greasy piece of meat had been shoved down his throat, and was making him sick.
Ning Ran didn’t care if Nan Chen was comfortable with her praises because she needed to make up for her mistake and prevent her kids from being taken away.
“I am nothing but a nameless actress and was blessed with meeting you, Sir Chen. You allowed me to take part in the show you invest in, and I am grateful for it.” “I worked hard to repay your kindness but was disrupted by a perpetrator who caused the production to be delayed. It is out of my control.”
“I am but a helpless woman. I don’t have the intelligence to deal with difficult situations like these. Only a strong hero like Sir Chen can save me from this disaster.”
“I know that peace will return to Flower City if you take charge and destroy all those mean monsters who are disrupting us.”
Nan Chen felt a headache coming.
That woman was proud and arrogant like a peacock a minute ago but was humble the next. She had no boundaries, and Nan Chen didn’t know how to deal with that.
He had planned a scheme to fight against Ning Ran and force her into obeying him, but she had messed everything up.
She was like a ball of cotton that wouldn’t be hurt no matter how hard one punched it and was able to change the subject without anyone noticing.
They were supposed to be talking about who should take care of the kids, but the topic had been changed to her asking Nan Chen to help solve the issue with the show.
What a terrifying monster.
Nan Chen took a big gulp of his coffee to realign his thoughts.
He had been a business tycoon for years and had faced countless experts in negotiation. Some of his opponents had been a country’s minister or a multinational corporations’ board of directors.
Nan Chen had always been able to adapt and combat against their strategies and tricks while retaining his quiet style.
Yet, Nan Chen often felt helpless when dealing with that woman.
He would even be distracted by the sweet orange blossom scent that exuded from her body every now and then.
He was annoyed but he couldn’t do anything about it.
To make matters worse, he would feel guilty after being attracted to that scent because the woman in front of him was Nan Xing’s lover… or at least she used to be.
Ning Ran was shocked to see that. Who would’ve thought that the heartless Poker Face’s eyes could show emotions that strong?
What was he thinking about?
Ning Ran was stunned to hear that. He’s not backing down even though I’m being ridiculously nice?
Are my words and praises too tame, or is his immunity against beautiful words too strong?
