“You said you don’t like me, but actually deep down you love me very much, right?” “You’re even having dreams about me, just that you are too shy to express it, right?” said Nan Xing confidently.
“All mom dreams of his uncle.” Erbao suddenly interjected.
“Huh?” Nan Xing was surprised.
“Erbao, what are you saying?” Ning Ran exclaimed, her face flushed.
“I am speaking the truth! If you don’t believe me, you can check with brother.” Erbao retorted.
“You dreamt of my brother? Why would you dream of him?” Nan Xing was relentless in getting an answer out of Ning Ran.
“Are you crazy? Why would you believe what a kid said? Why would I be dreaming of him?” Ning Ran scolded Nan Xing.
“Yeah, that’s exactly what I am asking you. Why would you be dreaming of him? Don’t tell me you like my brother? No wonder you are always so cold towards me. It’s because of my brother, right?” Nan Xing was hit with a sudden realization.
“You must be mad. Who said I like him? I feel sick just by looking at his poker face!” Ning Ran shouted.
“You don’t like him? That’s good. I will convey exactly what you said to my brother later. Can you repeat what you said just now?” Nan Xing replied.
“You are crazy!” This angered Ning Ran.
“Mom said, I feel sick just by looking at his poker face!” Erbao repeated on behalf of Ning Ran.
“You again!” Ning Ran shouted at Erbao.
“But that’s what you said, mom!” Erbao retorted again.
“Ok, I will convey this message to my brother later, so that he knows you don’t like him” Nan Xing said.
“Why are you so annoying? Do you have nothing better to do?” Ning Ran asked Nan Xing.
“Want to hear the truth?” Nan Xing replied.
“No, I want to hear a lie. OF COURSE I want to know the truth!” Ning Ran yelled.
“The truth is, I think the way my brother looks at you is quite fishy too.” Nan Xing said in a serious tone.
“Crazy! All of you are crazy!” Ning Ran scolded.
“Since you said you don’t like him and he makes you feel sick, this makes things so much easier.” Nan Xing laughed.
“Don’t say such things in front of a child!” Ning Ran reprimanded Nan Xing.
“Ok.” Nan Xing kept quiet obediently. “We shall talk about it in private then.”
“Go out! Don’t kick up such a scene in my bedroom!” Ning Ran pointed at the door.
“I just wanted to ask you to get ready. We are going to eat.” Nan Xing said.
“Yay! Time to eat!” Erbao jumped in excitement.
“Didn’t you just eat?” Ning Ran looked at Erbao.
“No mom, that was lunch! It’s dinner time now!” replied Erbao.
“Don’t you guys need to rest? We are going straight to dinner?” Ning Ran thought that Nan Xing should have some rest. After all, he was the one who spent the most effort during this period of time.
“We have already rested enough. Come to the hotel restaurant after you get changed. The chef here is not bad, I’m sure you will be satisfied.” Nan Xing made a silly face and went out of the room.
Compared to that poker face Nan Chen, Nan Xing was a stark contrast.
Half an hour later, after putting on some makeup and changing into a new set of clothes, Ning Ran arrived at the restaurant with the kids.
The table was already filled with a very sumptuous meal.
Everything on the table looks so tempting to Ning Ran, except for one, the fish.
She had been eating fish for a few consecutive days, such that she felt sick just by looking at fish now.
At her seat, Erbao can’t wait to start eating.
However, she tried to restrain herself after Dabao told her to wait, even though she had to keep swallowing her saliva.
“Brother, we are all waiting for you.” Nan Xing shouted towards the door.
