“Come back!” At last, Nan Chen called out to Nan Xing.
Nan Xing had always listened to his brother. If not, he might be sent to the African safari again.
As such, he took a last glance at Ning Ran and walked back reluctantly.
“Brother.”
Nan Chen walked out of the car, towards Nan Xing.
Nan Chen was anxious. He can’t be thinking of teaching me a lesson?
As he stood in front of Nan Xing, Nan Chen stared at the white shirt that Nan Xing wore inside his white suit.
“Brother, all these years, I have been dressed in white and you, black. Is there a problem?” Nan Xing grew even more anxious.
“Have you ever used black buttons on your white shirt?” Nan Chen asked.
“What do you mean?”
“As you know, my buttons are all customized and tailor-made. Have you used any of those for your shirt?”
“No. Grandpa has never allowed me to wear black shirts. He did not want others to mistake me for you, and risk ruining your image. So, I don’t use black buttons at all. Brother, why are you asking this? What a weird question.”
Nan Chen was unable to make up his mind whether to tell Nan Xing, but finally decided against it.
Before the results of the DNA test were out, it was still an uncertainty. He should not tell him first.
And even after the results of the DNA test were out, it wouldn’t be an easy conversation.
Even someone as intelligent as Nan Chen was not able to predict the effects it would have on the brothers’ relationship.
But there was one thing he was certain of. He would protect and take care of his brother, and not let him be hurt.
“I randomly thought of it. Nan Xing, if you feel like dressing in black, feel free to do so. It’s not fair to you that you are not allowed to wear black. You are wonderful. Even if someone mistakes you for me, it wouldn’t ruin my image.” Nan Chen said.
Nan Xing was finally relieved. “Thanks for the offer, brother. But I think black suits you better. I don’t have to wear black. There are other colors I can wear, like blue, gray, yellow… It would be fine as long as it’s not black. But brother, why are we suddenly on this topic now?”
Nan Chen kept quiet.
“Nan Xing, do you trust me?” Nan Chen said after a long while.
“Of course! You are my brother, of course I trust you. I have trusted you the most since young.” Nan Xing said sincerely.
“Ok, that’s great. From now onwards, no matter what I say, you have to trust me. It helps in our communication.” Nan Chen said.
“Ok, I will.” Nan Chen replied.
“You can leave first.”
“What?”
He said so much just to get me to leave? Nan Xing was stunned.
“You just said you trust me. Now you don’t trust me anymore?”
“It’s not that…”
“I specially came to look for Ning Ran today. I have something to discuss with her. That’s the reason I am here today.”
“I see.”
“As for what I am discussing with her, I will tell you another day.”
“Ok.”
Nan Xing walked to his car reluctantly. He turned around and wanted to say something, but Nan Chen waved him off.
I’m leaving just like that? Nan Xing was still reluctant.
But brother said that I have to trust him.
Ok, I’m going to leave!
Although Nan Xing was reluctant and had a lot of doubts, he still chose to trust his brother.
Vroom! Nan Xing drove off in his red sports car.
Nan Chen continued standing at the same spot, until the sports car could not be seen anymore. After that, he sat in his car and continued to reply to his emails.
Ning Ran was finally done with her shoot at 10 p.m.
After changing, she dragged her tired feet out of the set. She walked out with Cheng Xiangyun.
She only remembered Nan Chen when she saw his car. He said he would be waiting for her.
She did not think that he was serious. For someone at his level, only others waited for him, it did not make sense for him to wait for anyone.
