Feng Wan noticed Ning Ran's hesitation. “I called you here today because I want to hear your thoughts on the matter.”
Ning Ran felt bitter. She wants to hear my thoughts when it doesn't matter to her? I've made it clear before that this matter still needs to be discussed. All of you had already decided on the matter, yet you're asking for my opinion. “Grandma, haven't we discussed this? I want to talk it over with Nan Chen before making a decision.”
“Given that Nan Chen is busy with work and might not have much time to worry about the wedding, Darling and I have discussed it. We will take care of the arrangements. Feel free to voice any requests you may have. If it's something material that you want, it'll be done easily. The Nan family certainly isn't short of money. It's been many years since we've had a celebration in our family. It would be wonderful to host a grand one. It seems like you're not on the best terms with your maternal family, but this is a joyous occasion for you. If you want to invite them, I'm okay what it. In short, you don't need to worry about anything. Whatever you want, we will do our best to provide it for you.” Feng Wan was brimming with sincerity, which made Ning Ran feel somewhat embarrassed.
If it weren't for the fact that she knew she was the daughter of the Rong family, Ning Ran would have agreed.
She had been with Nan Chen for so long, so it was fair to say that getting married to him was a natural progression for her.
If it weren't for that sudden incident with the Rong family, she wouldn't married him already.
Earning the approval of Feng Wan and Nan Zhengde were no easy feat, after all.
Seeing Ning Ran's troubled expression, Feng Wan thought the former might have a request that she found difficult to voice.
“Feel free to share your thoughts. It really doesn't matter!” Feng Wan encouraged her.
“Grandma, there's no need to rush this. Allow me and Nan Chen to discuss it further,” Ning Ran said softly.
Feng Wan was getting impatient. “What's there to discuss? I've already picked the date. Just tell me what kind of dowry and ceremony you want! You're usually so decisive. Why are you dragging your feet on this matter? Is marrying into the Nan family something that makes you hesitate?”
Ning Ran was truly tormented inside, unsure of how to respond.
Coincidentally, someone arrived at that moment, and it was Nan Xing.
He burst in with an air of urgency. “Oh, you're here too, Ning Ran? Perfect, I have something important to discuss with you both!”
Feng Wan gave him a glance. Lately, she had been somewhat disappointed in him.
Originally, Lu Jingyuan had already left. It was Nan Xing's desperate pleas that forced Feng Wan to compromise.
This was the first time Feng Wan used her own influence to drive someone away, and surprisingly, she failed. Naturally, she was not pleased.
“There's nothing going on here. I'm discussing important matters with your sister-in-law. You should leave for now!” Feng Wan said, somewhat annoyed.
“What I want to say is also important. Why won't you let me speak?” Nan Xing said, frustrated.
Ning Ran was worried about not being able to change the subject, so she was glad Nan Xing arrived.
“Grandma, we should just let him speak. Otherwise, he may die of anxiety!” Ning Ran said with a laugh.
“Yeah! How can you bear to silence people like that, Grandma?” Nan Xing was also feeling aggrieved.
The recent events with Lu Jingyuan had indeed hurt him deeply.
Feng Wan waved her hand. “Well then, speak up! Hurry up and finish so you can leave!”
Nan Xing felt deeply hurt because his grandmother's attitude toward him was getting worse.
In the past, he was the apple of his grandmother's eye, her most cherished grandchild. He was practically spoiled rotten.
Ever since the arrival of Erbao and Dabao, the old woman had clearly been doting on those two even more.
While Nan Xing was fine with that, he felt really aggrieved his right to speak was almost being stripped away. What's wrong with falling for someone and wanting to be with her?
“Grandma, I'm getting married!” Nan Xing announced.
Both Ning Ran and Feng Wan were stunned.
Feng Wan thought she had misheard him. “What did you say?”
“I'm saying I'm getting married!” Nan Xing reaffirmed solemnly.
