“I want to listen to Mommy’s story!” Erbao chipped in.
Nan Chen’s expression turned grim.
It had never occurred to him that both of his sweethearts would be standing on Ning Ran’s side.
Once again, the floor was engulfed in deep silence.
Despite their young age, the kids were feeling stressed.
It was never a good thing to be clarifying your stance on either side of your parents in a conflict.
On top of that, Nan Chen had actually treated them really well even though he was just their third uncle.
The only reason they were standing on their mom’s side was because she was relatively weaker.
“Fine,” said Nan Chen.
It was just a word, but it carried a powerful meaning.
Nan Chen, while reluctant, had agreed to his children’s request.
“Daddy, please don’t get angry. We will visit Great-grandpa someday,” said Erbao.
Nan Chen remained silent.
“Daddy is a grown-up and a big shot. Don’t worry, there is no way daddy would be holding a grudge over such a trivial matter,” said Ning Ran as she tried to smooth things over.
Ning Ran’s words had placed Nan Chen onto a moral high ground. He couldn’t afford to get mad as this would refute what she had just said about him.
Of course, Nan Chen knew what her motives were, and so he snorted coldly at her.
“Look, Daddy isn’t angry anymore… He wouldn’t be mad at you, sweetheart,” said Ning Ran as she chuckled.
“Daddy isn’t angry,” said the both of them at the same time.
After they had finished their meal, they headed back to the villa at Red Maple City.
Nan Chen cleaned himself up before entering Ning Ran’s room.
Ning Ran knew he wasn’t too happy with what had gone on tonight, so she didn’t let out a single sound.
Nan Chen pointed at the small sofa and said to Ning Ran, “You’ll sleep there.”
“Why should I?” Ning Ran jumped up from the bed.
“Because you are short.”
Ning Ran was furious with his answer. “You are the one who is short! There’s no one in this world who is shorter than you!” retorted Ning Ran.
Nan Chen was dumbfounded by her words.
Ning Ran felt that something was odd, but she couldn’t tell what it was.
Her words were ambiguous; it could have meant something obscene.
“That’s not what I meant,” said Ning Ran as her face turned crimson.
The atmosphere became more awkward when she attempted to cover up what she had just said…
Nan Chen looked at her coldly in the eye before he laid down on the bed.
There was room for two on the bed, but as soon as he laid down on it, the bed had no place for her to sleep anymore.
That was because he was laying on the middle of the bed and had both of his arms stretched wide open.
If Ning Ran wanted to sleep on the bed, she would have no other choice to but to lay on his arms.
Isn’t that the same as sleeping in his arms?
Ning Ran was rendered speechless. How could he do something so bizarre?
Fine, you can have the bed all to yourself.
As Ning Ran grabbed a pillow, she gave Nan Chen the death stare before walking obediently towards the little sofa.
It was only until this moment that Nan Chen got up and began to use his laptop to manage his emails.
Ning Ran peeked at him for a few times. But after seeing Nan Chen completely absorbed with his task, she decided to ignore him.
As she was browsing through her phone, drowsiness sipped in.
She then reduced the volume of her phone and prepared to sleep.
Not long after, she fell into a deep slumber.
She slept very soundly, until dawn.
When she woke up, she could smell the distinct scent of a man.
An exceptionally handsome face was right before her eyes.
Ning Ran was a little startled, and she backed away instinctively.
Upon closer inspection, there was no flaw to be found on his face.
I bet he wouldn’t admit defeat even in his dreams.
Oh, his nose is quite pointy. Did he undergo plastic surgery for his nose?
If the nose was fake, would it fall off?
Nan Chen observed the room around him. He found it impossible for this room to have any mosquitoes. Without a doubt, this woman is lying.
Couldn’t you have used a better word? What do you mean by touching you? Do you think you are a cat? Patting you on a whim?
My god, am I stupid? How could I just blurt out something shameless like this?
