“I do not wish to break up your discussion, but I want to ask you when you will be leaving?”
Nan Chen stared at Ning Ran, “When have I said that I want to leave?”
“You aren’t leaving?”
“Nope.”
“But…”
“I’m staying here. Why should I go?”
Ning Ran was hopping mad by now. I have only allowed you to stay for a few days! How dare you insist on staying forever! This is the house of Auntie’s friend! She has rented it to us cheaply! Why aren’t you staying in your big mansion instead of fighting with us to stay in this house!
“Auntie has just returned. You should move. It’s not convenient for us to have you around the house!”
Now Nan Chen finally understood. So, her ‘Auntie’ refers to Cheng Xiangyun, who is the one with cucumber slices on her face in the living room just now.
“She can stay in the guest room. I won’t cause her any inconvenience. I will get someone to find a new house for her tomorrow,” said Nan Chen.
“Why should she move? This is her friend’s house! Her friend has rented it to us cheaply because she’s overseas. It’s all because of her that we get to stay in this house. How can you chase her out!”
Nan Chen stared at Ning Ran without saying a word.
His stare made Ning Ran’s hair stand on end, “What?”
“Nothing. I’m leaving now.”
“That’s the way to go! How can you occupy other’s residence?”
“Is Daddy leaving?” Dabao was reluctant to let him go.
“Yes, do you want to follow me?” Nan Chen was reluctant to leave him too.
Dabao shook his head.
I rather stay with Mommy. She needs my company more than him.
When they came out of the study room, Cheng Xiangyun had changed her clothes and was about to leave the villa with her bag in her hands. She was too self-conscious to stay on after Nan Chen had seen her in the embarrassing state just now.
At the sight of Nan Chen, she turned around, not daring to meet Nan Chen’s gaze. I didn’t dare meet his gaze last time, much less now! Ning Ran is so irritating! How can she not tell me that Nan Chen is coming here! I feel like dying now that I have shown this embarrassing side of me to Flower City’s most handsome man!
“You don’t need to leave. He’s leaving,” said Ning Ran to Cheng Xiangyun.
“No, no. No. I don’t want to disturb your family. I didn’t know Mr. Nan was coming. Otherwise, I would have…”
“It’s okay, I’ll leave.” Nan Chen cut her off.
His tone was calm and emotionless; his typical fashion.
“There is really no need. I will leave. You are a family. I really didn’t know Mr. Nan was coming…”
“I’ve told you that you don’t need to leave. He should leave since he is the outsider. You don’t need to,” Ning Ran persuaded her.
I will feel bad, asking Auntie to leave in the middle of the night. Furthermore, Auntie was the one who found this house. Even if she didn’t, I can’t chase her out at this hour.
Nan Chen agreed with Ning Ran on this point.
Even if Nan Chen was domineering, he had his principles. He knew that it was not right of him to chase a woman out under these circumstances.
“Mr. Nan is not an outsider. He’s…”
“Okay, enough. I have other things to do in the office and will work till very late. I won’t be returning.”
With that, Nan Chen turned around and headed for the door.
Ning Ran felt a bit guilty at the sight of Nan Chen’s departure.
But there is no other choice. If someone has to leave, it has to be Nan Chen.
Words alone are not enough to convey my frustration. I must use my hands now!
