“Permission granted,” said Nan Chen who agreed to the terms.
Ning Ran was surprised. She didn’t think that Nan Chen would agree to those terms.
Her intentions were obvious. She would move into the mansion with the kids, and she would be able to leave with the kids when she moved out.
A man as intelligent as Nan Chen must’ve seen through it, but he still agreed to it.
That made Ning Ran uncomfortable because it made her wonder if Nan Chen had something up his sleeves.
“Really?” asked Ning Ran who felt that it was necessary to confirm his reply.
“Yes,” said Nan Chen coolly.
“Okay,” said Ning Ran who was calmer, “So the kids and I will stay in the same room?”
“That won’t be possible. Kids of the Nan Family must learn to be independent, and they must have their own rooms. Parents need not accompany them.” “You and Nan Xing aren’t married yet so it’d be inappropriate for the two of you to share a room.” “Grandma and Grandpa had been fighting and were at odds. You’ll share a room with grandma for now. It’ll give you two a chance to get to know one another,” said Nan Chen.
“Huh?”
Ning Ran knew that the Poker Face wasn’t that nice! He was making her share a room with an old lady who was in the middle of an argument!
Everyone knew that most elderly ladies from rich families were difficult to deal with because they were stubborn, picky, and liked to discriminate against others.
Having a stranger share a room with an elderly woman who was in the middle of an argument was equivalent to sending the stranger in as a punching bag.
Moreover, even if the elderly woman didn’t go out of her way to annoy Ning Ran, Ning Ran would still be uncomfortable.
Ning Ran had always been easy-going so she never paid attention to her bad habits. If she wasn’t careful, she’d make a mistake and the elderly woman would eat her alive for it.
That Poker Face is truly devious!
“I’m not going,” refused Ning Ran immediately.
“Then forget about it,” said Nan Chen, who was waiting for Ning Ran to reject his offer.
“You…”
“That’s it then.”
Nan Chen got up and left the room without saying another word to Ning Ran.
He had gotten what he wanted so there was no need to talk anymore.
Ning Ran was a little disappointed that she couldn’t beat him.
She had spent so much time and put so much effort into that argument but was defeated by the Poker Face’s indifference.
After exiting Nanshi Corporation’s headquarters, Ning Ran started to look for a hotel to stay in.
She spent quite some time looking for a place online and picked a cheaper hotel to stay in.
Ning Ran put on a mask so that she won’t be recognized and attacked by the haters.
There was a time when Ning Ran was jealous of Zheng Lunlun because he was a celebrity who needed a mask whenever he left the house. She never thought that there’d be a day when she needed to wear a mask too.
Ning Ran finally got a taste of what it was like to be a public figure. The heartbreaking bit was that other celebrities were worried about their fans being too sweet whereas Ning Ran was afraid of being targeted.
At the hotel reception, Ning Ran handed her identity card over to register for a room.
“Please take off your mask so that we may verify your identity,” said the receptionist.
Ning Ran hesitated, but still took her mask off.
The moment she took it off, a beautiful face was shown.
The receptionist felt that she had seen Ning Ran before so she said, “Are you…?”
“No, I am not!” claimed Ning Ran who wanted to keep herself hidden.
“Wow, so you really are…”
Am I supposed to thank you for that? thought Ning Ran.
