Nan Chen decided to take the kids out for lunch before heading over to Yunfeng Hill as it was hard to find a restaurant up in the mountains.
Being in a hurry, he wasn’t too picky and chose a restaurant at random.
For some reason, both the kids were rather quiet that day.
Nan Chen wasn’t a talkative person himself, so the atmosphere got really awkward with all three of them completely silent.
At some point, even Nan Chen couldn’t stand it anymore and decided to break the ice.
“What’s gotten into the two of you today?”
Erbao had actually wanted to say something, but restrained herself as Dabao wouldn’t let her speak.
She was really tempted to talk when Nan Chen initiated the conversation, but she didn’t dare to do so without Dabao’s permission.
Nan Chen noticed that and looked at Dabao. “What’s wrong with you? Why won’t you let your sister talk?”
“I didn’t. We just have something on our minds.” Dabao said sternly.
“What could you kids possibly have on your minds?”
The two kept quiet, much to Nan Chen’s chagrin.
What the hell are they playing at?
“Does it have something to do with your Mommy?” Nan Chen asked.
They both nodded at the same time.
“You don’t have to worry about her. She’s fine and can be discharged tomorrow,” Nan Chen reassured them.
“We’re not worried about her condition. It’s something else,” Dabao said.
“Hmm? What is it then?”
“Relationship problems,” Erbao replied.
That caught Nan Chen completely off guard.
What’s going on here? Why are they worried about Ning Ran’s relationship?
“What about it? Why are you kids sticking your noses into adult matters?” Nan Chen asked.
“It’s that young lad.” Erbao said.
“Which young lad?” Nan Chen was confused.
“That young lad who keeps giving Mommy flowers.”
“You mean Ouyang Qi? He’s about the same age as I am! Did he tell you to call him that?” Nan Chen was getting anxious.
“No, we gave him that nickname ourselves. He seems young because he knows how to be romantic.” Erbao said.
“What do you mean he knows how to be romantic?”
“He’s giving Mommy flowers every day, which is something romantic that young people do.”
Everything Erbao said was part of Dabao’s plans.
He was observing Nan Chen’s expression the whole time and noticed that Nan Chen was clearly bothered by it.
That means the strategy is working, and we can keep it going.
“So giving flowers makes him romantic, and that makes him young? Is that what your Mommy thinks?” Nan Chen said angrily.
Erbao shook her head. “No, that’s what we think.”
“We? Dabao, you think so too?”
Nan Chen looked at Dabao, hoping that he would support him.
However, Dabao simply nodded his head in response, much to Nan Chen’s disappointment.
Is that all it took for Ouyang Qi to bribe these kids? By giving Ning Ran flowers?
“So this is what you think too. Dabao, I’ve always thought you are a sensible child.” Nan Chen said disappointingly.
“I do, Daddy.” Dabao stood his ground.
Looks like Daddy’s really mad about this. Dabao thought to himself.
