Ning Ran pouted, and asked Zheng Lunlun softly, “Are you getting better?”
“I am slightly better.” Zheng Lunlun replied.
Ning Ran counted the words, “I am slightly better” as four words. In the past, he would start to stammer if he exceeded three words. It seemed like he managed to break through the limit of three words.
“Under five words I will not……not……”
Here it goes again! Zheng Lunlun started to stammer again just right after they thought he was fine.
“Ok, I got it. So you can only keep within five words in order to not stammer?” Ning Ran asked.
“Yes!” Zheng Lunlun nodded his head with some force.
“Zheng Lunlun, get in the car!” Nan Chen signaled to him.
“What?”
Zheng Lunlun thought that Nan Chen’s intention of asking him to wait at the service area was to let him and Ning Ran share the same car.
But it seemed like that was not the case. Nan Chen wanted to take the same car as Zheng Lunlun, and let Ning Ran take the other car alone.
But why was that so? Zheng Lunlun could not understand.
Ning Ran was also confused. All she did was to take a short nap in the car, and this has provoked the Poker Face so much that he wanted to switch cars?
But Ning Ran quite liked this arrangement. By having a car to herself, she could sit however she liked without any restraints.
Zheng Lunlun was prepared to share a car with Ning Ran, so that they could even play a few games together when they reached their destination. However, Third Uncle had ruined his plan and now he was really unhappy.
But although he did not like the arrangement, he did not dare to defy Third Uncle. He got onto the car obediently, and sat next to Nan Chen.
Nan Chen was angry when he saw Zheng Lunlun’s bothered face.
It seemed like his decision to not let that woman share a car with Zheng Lunlun was totally right. This woman could make men go head over heels for her.
Young men like Zheng Lunlun who was full of lust, would not be able to resist such temptation from her. He had to cut down on their interaction opportunities as much as possible!
Nan Chen glanced at his nephew who was sitting next to him. He could tell from Zheng Lunlun’s eyes that he was still bothered, as his eyes darted around and looked out of the window.
“We have spent a lot of energy and resources to handle the public relations side to protect your image this time.” Nan Chen said.
“I am aware of that, Third Uncle.”
“If you were a normal artist, I would have blacklisted you and not help you in any way.” Nan Chen added.
“I am aware of that, Third Uncle.” Zheng Lunlun gave him the same reply.
Nan Chen started to get irritated.
Zheng Lunlun gave him perfunctory replies as he was obviously absent-minded.
He is definitely thinking of the woman!
“You have to be aware, don’t get too close to her and let her affect your future. I do not wish to see such a public relations related crisis ever again.” Nan Chen said in a much stricter tone.
“Yes, Third Uncle.” Zheng Lunlun replied sincerely.
However to Nan Chen, it still sounded like a perfunctory reply!
Nan Chen closed his eyes and refused to speak anymore.
Seeing Third Uncle’s eyes closed, Zheng Lunlun assumed that he was asleep. He fished out his phone and sent a message to Ning Ran, “Are you having motion sickness yet?”
Ning Ran replied very quickly, “No, what about you?”
“Me neither, but why wouldn’t Third Uncle let the both of us share the same car?”
“I don’t know!”
“If we could share a car, it would be so fun!”
“Yes, it has been so long since we last had a game together. We had been too busy and there had been no chance to do so.” Ning Ran replied.
