It seems like my relationship with this boorish guy is improving after all the chit-chatting.
This was exactly the outcome Ning Ran was hoping for.
Nan Chen is so powerful; he can almost control my life. His strength comes with its pros and cons. If I am in his good books, he will be my backing, ensuring that I live a worry-free life. Conversely, if I defy him, I will face mounting pressure from him.
Ning Ran was well aware that given her temper, there would be a time when she defied his wishes.
Therefore, she was planning to reduce the resources that Nan Chen could use against her so that ready support would be available when she quarreled with Nan Chen.
“We’ve reached, Ms. Ding.”
Upon hearing Qian Zhan’s voice, Ning Ran was jolted back from her thoughts.
Raising her head, Ning Ran realized she was back at the same supermarket she had visited yesterday.
“I came here yesterday. There’s no need to shop here today.”
“Sir Chen asked me to send you here. My task is accomplished. He is waiting for you inside.”
“What is he up to again?”
Ning Ran alighted from the car and entered the supermarket.
Walking around the supermarket, she finally found Nan Chen in the seafood area and was astounded to notice that he was pushing a trolley full of groceries and snacks.
He is shopping alone, without anyone following behind him! What’s more shocking is that the items in his trolley, in particular, the food ingredients are the same as the ones we bought yesterday!
“Done. Let’s go,” said Nan Chen to Ning Ran.
“Sir Chen, we bought these items yesterday,” reminded Ning Ran.
“Oh.”
“There’s no need to buy them today if we bought them yesterday. Why do you want to buy the same items?” Ning Ran asked, puzzled.
Nan Chen did not answer her.
When they reached their turn at the cashier, she swiped Nan Chen’s card just like yesterday.
However, when she wanted to return the card back to Nan Chen, he declined, saying, “You can keep it.”
“Oh, are you giving me a credit card? How much is the card limit?”
Ning Ran analyzed the black credit card in her hand with interest. Is this the legendary rich man’s card?
“Enough for you to spend.”
“So if I overspend, will this card be suspended?”
“It won’t be, so long as you don’t buy over the entire planet.”
Ning Ran was amused, “So you can tell jokes too? This is such a rare sight. That’s the way to go. Why do you put on such a stern face all the time?”
Nan Chen gazed at her coldly, “I’m not joking.”
“Hahaha, is this also a joke? Are you sure I can buy the whole planet with this card?”
Nan Chen kept quiet and pushed the trolley in the direction of the supermarket’s exit.
Ning Ran followed him at his heels, noticing the envious looks from the female customers surrounding them.
I should not go out with this fellow so often. Otherwise, I will suffer from the other women’s jealous wrath.
When they reached the carpark entrance, employees dressed in formal suits took over the trolley from Nan Chen.
Nan Chen then led Ning Ran towards a blue sports car.
“Don’t you want the groceries?”
“They will deliver the groceries to the house.”
Ning Ran circled the sports car. Does Poker Face drive such a flashy car? Doesn’t he always drive the ever-serious Rolls-Royce? So he’s into sports cars now?
“Not to your liking? Nan Chen asked.
“No, no. I like it. It’s such an expensive car. Of course, I like it.” Ning Ran waved her hands frantically.
“Then do you want to test drive it?” Nan Chen threw a car key over to her.
My driving skills are not the best, to begin with. This car is so expensive. I won’t be able to afford the compensation if I damage it! I’m knee-deep in debts already. How can I live on if my debts pile on!
Fine, I’ll test it then. What’s the big deal?
Let me see if you will be so calm if I crash into a lamp pole!
