Ning Ran was in the mood to tease Nan Chen as she felt better after seeing Dabao. Moreover, the boy had even devised his own methods to make a stand against the Nan family in order to see her.
It meant that her kids were on her side, and the knowledge of her children’s support comforted her.
Feeling cheered up, Ning Ran had purposely made that absurd speech about smashing things to enrage Nan Chen.
“Darlings, Mommy was just joking when I said you could smash things, don’t take it seriously. It’s wrong to smash things, you can’t do that, OK?”
Dabao and Erbao nodded obediently.
Nan Chen ordered the servant to reheat the dishes and serve them dinner.
Erbao was famished and started gobbling down her food.
In fact, Dabao was hungry too. However, he was determined to endure the hunger just so he could see his mom.
Ning Ran and Nan Chen sat to the side while they watched the kids enjoy their dinner, feeling contented.
“You guys carry on eating, I need to discuss something with Mommy, is that OK?”
After experiencing Dabao’s protest, Nan Chen was indeed slightly fearful of these two little darlings. He made a mental reminder to speak to them in a kind manner.
As Erbao was not the one calling the shots, she looked towards her brother.
“What will Third Uncle and Mommy be talking about?” Dabao asked.
Nan Chen was stunned. Why is the kid asking that?
“We will be discussing adult matters, children do not need to be concerned.” Nan Chen accidentally adopted the cold tone he normally used when he spoke to other people.
“He’s my child, so anything that concerns me, concerns him,” Ning Ran immediately came to the boy’s defense.
Nan Chen’s expression hardened. This woman, why does she have to embarrass me in front of the kids!
“We will just be discussing your mom’s filming matters.” As it was not an option for Nan Chen to refute, he could only compromise.
Dabao looked at Ning Ran. She nodded at her son and stood up.
“Uncle, you can’t use my sister and I to threaten mommy,” Dabao reminded Nan Chen.
Nan Chen was shocked. It was extremely impactful to hear such words coming from a kid.
“I won’t,” the man replied seriously.
Only then did Dabao feel relieved.
Ning Ran followed Nan Chen to the living room after leaving the dining area.
The living room was not even part of the residence’s main hall, but it was already much bigger than Cheng Xiangyun’s entire apartment.
“This is the Nan family,” Nan Chen said, with his gaze fixed on Ning Ran.
“I already know that. I didn’t say that it’s the Ning family,” Ning Ran retorted with a frown.
“There are rules to be followed in the Nan family. All employees and servants need to ensure that they are dressed appropriately before stepping out,” Nan Chen explained.
“I see,” Ning Ran nodded earnestly.
“But look at what you are wearing!” Nan Chen’s anger rose as he said that.
“Sir Chen, I’m afraid that you have gotten it wrong. I am neither the Nan family’s employee nor servant,” Ning Ran calmly replied.
“You… “
“Please don’t get angry, Sir Chen.” Ning Ran flashed a smile at Nan Chen.
“If my grandpa sees you like this, do you know what he would do?” Nan Chen posed the question.
“What?”
“The old man would immediately separate you from his dear great-grandchildren, because the descendants of the Nan family cannot be under the care of a woman who does not even observe proper rules. You will be perceived as a bad influence for the kids.”
“But it’s such a coincidence that the Old Master’s dear great-grandchildren also happen to be my children. I will decide what’s best for my children!” Ning Ran was not backing down.
“If the old man takes action, do you think you will be able to continue staying in Flower City? If that happens, do you think you can still call the shots?” Nan Chen said in a cold voice.
Ning Ran kept quiet.
She knew that he was merely stating facts. If the Nan family’s Old Master really made a move, the resources that he mobilized would definitely be formidable.
It wouldn’t be something a small fry like Ning Ran could defend herself against. By then, she might really have to leave Flower City.
