Erbao And Dabao turned to one another and became quiet all of a sudden.
This was not what they had planned. They wanted Uncle Nan Chen to be mommy’s boyfriend, but that would no longer be possible if Uncle Nan Chen was their third uncle.
Erbao didn’t like the phrase ‘third uncle’ because it sounded weird and uncool.
The sudden silence from the kids got Nan Chen worried because he didn’t know what he had said to upset them.
“What’s going on?” Nan Chen asked, terrified.
Erbao pouted with tears circling in her eyes.
It’s not fair!
All that time spent to get mommy a rich and handsome boyfriend was wasted.
‘Uncle Nan Chen’ was gone and replaced by the term – third uncle – that sounded absolutely terrible, and they had to settle for a daddy from Africa!
Erbao had seen the people in Africa on the TV before. There were lions, grass fields, and everyone there was tall and black, and none of them were as handsome as her Uncle Nan Chen.
Erbao thought that her daddy being from Africa must mean that he was tall and black, and looked scary. That was too much, and she was sad.
“What’s wrong?” asked Nan Chen who was truly worried when he saw Erbao’s watery eyes. That turned out to be a terrible mistake.
“I don’t want third uncle, and I don’t want a daddy from Africa…”
Nan Chen started to panic and was heartbroken. He quickly grabbed a tissue paper to dry Erbao’s tears, “Why not?”
Erbao didn’t answer. Only Dabao understood how disappointed and sad she felt to watch her perfect plan falling apart.
Unfortunately, Dabao had always been quiet and he didn’t know how to explain things either so he could only frown.
Ning Ran didn’t understand why Erbao reacted that way either.
Why was the kid so reluctant to have a dad?
She walked over to pick Erbao up and said, “it’s okay, baby, it’s okay.”
“Why is she sad?” asked Nan Chen who honestly had no idea what was happening and was practically begging Ning Ran to explain.
“Mr. Chen, you’re a powerful man. Please give my kids and me some time and stop bullying helpless families like ours,” said Ning Ran coldly.
Nan Chen felt wronged. How was what I did ‘bullying’? I was being nice and sweet when I welcomed her into the family, but Erbao cried all of a sudden! I never bullied her! Also, you’re not exactly ‘helpless’ either.
“Dabao, let’s go,” ordered Ning Ran.
That was a great opportunity to leave and Ning Ran wasn’t about to waste it.
Dabao’s eyes were filled with complicated emotions when he turned to look at Nan Chen. Then, he sighed and followed Ning Ran out of the office.
Looking at the crying Erbao, Nan Chen didn’t dare to refute or stop them so with a heavy heart, he watched them leave.
Before Dabao exited, he turned back to look at Nan Chen one more time.
Nan Chen felt like the kid’s eyes were trying to send him a message, but he couldn’t decipher them.
Jiang Zhe personally sent Ning Ran and the kids back home with tons of childcare products that he was ordered to deliver. Among these products were high-end snacks, supplements, and toys.
Due to the large number of products given, Cheng Xiangyun’s living room was filled.
Cheng Xiangyun’s jaw dropped and she asked, “What’s going on here?”
Ning Ran had too much on her plate, and she didn’t want to explain so she laid down on the sofa and closed her eyes.
Cheng Xiangyun didn’t need to ask Ning Ran because she could ask Erbao who was the most talkative one in the family.
“What’s wrong? Is your Uncle Nan Chen’s illness very serious?”
Erbao shook her head and answered, “He’s not sick, but he transformed.”
