Ning Ran sat down again.
Is this some kind of a joke? How can the Nan family be so unreliable!
The kids have been calling Nan Xing “daddy” for so long and now he is telling me that the blood sample belongs to him?
“How can you be so irresponsible! This is so unfair to the kids!” Ning Ran reprimanded.
“Identical twins have almost identical DNA. I only did that because he was at…”
“Ridiculous! It was a DNA test. How could you have gone for ‘almost identical’? You think it’s a game?”
Nan Chen did not defend himself this time. He agreed that he should have taken the matter more seriously.
But he had not had associations with any women for the past few years. On the other hand, Nan Xing was the one who fooled around. Naturally, when the kids showed up, anyone would think that they were Nan Xing’s.
“It was a mistake. I have already sent Nan Xing’s blood sample over. The results will be out in a week’s time. But before that, can you tell me what actually happened that time.” Nan Chen asked.
Ning Ran kept quiet.
It wasn’t easy for her to talk about it.
“Only the kid’s biological father would know what happened. I am not clear what happened either.” Ning Ran blushed as she said that.
Nan Chen was stunned. It did make some sense.
It had to involve some steamy details for her to get pregnant. How could he expect her to say out loud?
Only the parties involved would know, it was not something that could be told to an outsider.
Nan Chen merely nodded. He did not say anything more.
He poured himself another cup of sake and finished it.
If it was not convenient to talk about that, then they could only wait for the test results.
“I have some scenes to shoot tomorrow. I want to leave now.”
“Ok.” Nan Chen said simply.
On the way back to the hotel, Ning Ran sat next to the driver while Nan Chen sat at the back.
None of them said anything. They were each lost in their own thoughts.
They were thinking about the same thing, but from entirely different angles.
When they reached the hotel foyer, the hotel doorman stepped forward to open the car door.
Ning Ran got out of the car, while Nan Chen remained inside. He did not stay at the hotel.
After a few steps, Ning Ran turned back and waved, as a gesture to thank Nan Chen for sending her back.
Nan Chen rolled the car windows down and looked at Ning Ran. That was his acknowledgement.
Shortly after, the car windows were up again and the car drove off.
Ning Ran paused for a second and walked inside the hotel.
For the past few days, Cheng Xiangyun had been searching for a new place for Ning Ran. Ning Ran had to move out of the hotel once she had a new place.
It was too expensive to stay at the hotel any longer. It made her worried.
She almost walked right into someone. When she lifted her head, she saw that the person was looking at where Nan Chen’s car was a minute ago.
It was Nan Xing.
“Why are you here?” Ning Ran asked.
“I am here for you, obviously. Cheng Xiangyun said that you were staying here. I am here to see you.”
Nan Xing’s eyes were still fixed on the same spot, even though Nan Chen’s car had driven off long ago.
“Oh.” Ning Ran said, and walked towards the elevator.
Nan Xing followed behind her.
“What are you doing? I need to rest now. Why are you following me?”
“I am here just to see you. I only just saw you; how can I leave so soon?”
“I really have to rest. Please don’t follow me, it’s not appropriate.”
“Was it my brother who sent you back just now?” Nan Xing was staring at Ning Ran.
“Yup. You saw his car.”
“Where did you go? Did my brother arrange for you to stay here?”
Ning Ran was just about to say “yes”, when she realized that the matter was too complicated.
Besides, it didn’t seem like that was the only thing Nan Xing wanted to ask. He was thinking of something else too.
“I was attacked by some haters. I had nowhere else to go, so I ended up here. Cheng Xiangyun is already looking for a place. When she finds one, I will move immediately.” Ning Ran explained.
