Ning Ran panicked slightly as Nan Chen continued to stare.
“I might be wrong. In that case, you can just ignore me, but please don’t be angry with me.”
The latter remained silent.
Deep down, he knew that Ning Ran’s words made sense.
The more prominent and powerful always desired to be on good terms with their families.
As a matter of fact, many big bosses who conquered the business world often met with their downfalls through internal and personal conflicts.
Hence, it was pertinent to have one’s personal matters dealt with properly, especially if one was an important figure.
This was also why many powerful couples would not divorce each other, no matter the destitute state of their relationship. They did not want to risk their entire careers because of a personal conflict.
It surprised Nan Chen that the woman would be able to think of this.
“Please stop looking at me like that. I’m wrong, alright?” She became more anxious.
“Why don’t you come with me?” Nan Chen asked.
“Huh?”
“Well, you were the one who promised my mother. Are you not going to come with me?” he asked with a cold face.
“You want me to come with you to pick up your dad at the airport? Am I meeting your parents then? But we aren’t exactly together, are we? Would meeting your parents be inappropriate then?”
When Ning Ran became excited, she would spout nonsense.
“Meeting my parents?” Nan Chen narrowed his eyes upon hearing this.
“Hahaha, I was joking. I’m an actress! All actresses have the same specialty, and that is to add more drama to their lives. Don’t take my words too seriously!” Ning Ran giggled to conceal her awkwardness.
Shit! He didn’t even mention anything about meeting his parents. What am I doing? How can I be so shameless? Control yourself and your mouth, Ning Ran!
Yet, Nan Chen still kept quiet. Soon after that, he put on his jacket and said, “Let’s go then.”
“Do I really have to go?” Ning Ran asked.
“Yes.”
This time, Nan Chen drove instead of getting his chauffeur.
He did not want others to know that Nan Zhiyuan was back. Thus, he thought that it was best if he kept a low profile on this matter.
In fact, he felt that Nan Zhiyuan and Bai Hua’s return would disrupt the many years of peace that the Nan family had enjoyed
However, he could not yet tell how these two would cause chaos.
In any case, chaos would be inevitable, and there was no way to avoid it.
“Where is your dad coming from?” Ning Ran asked him softly.
“He’s coming from Tokyo.”
“Did he go there for work? Was it for a long time?”
Again, Nan Chen remained quiet.
“I’m not trying to pry. I just want to know a little more about your family so that I don’t blabber later. You know that I tend to do that.”
“Just shut up and that wouldn’t happen.”
Ning Ran covered her mouth with her hands. “That’s possible. But what if I have to speak? I don’t want to seem rude.”
“There will be no such thing,” Nan Chen told her.
“Ok. Mouth shut then.”
The car fell into silence.
“You don’t seem to be on good terms with your father.” Ning Ran could no longer tolerate it and broke the silence after a while.
“How did you know?” Nan Chen asked indifferently.
