Chapter 279


    Nan Chen’s gazended on Tang Jing. She had finally attracted his attention.


    Tang Jing had been preparing herself for this gaze.


    Which was why, when Nan Chen finally pped eyes on her, she tried her best to look as innocent and


    culpable as she could.


    Tang Jing was a beauty. Not only that, her character was set to be a highly-educated and intelligent


    actress. Therefore, all her words and actions were akin to that.


    Slowly, these habits became natural and she eventually portrayed her temperament of intellectual


    beauty.


    However, despite her remarkable qualities, there was nothing Nan Chen found to be worthy of his


    attention.


    Nan Chen shifted his gaze away after that quick glimpse.


    Tang Jing didn’t even get to put on the performance she had prepared before Nan Chen looked away.


    “It isn’t Tang Jing’s fault. She has been taking care of me and I’m grateful for that.” Ning Ran quickly


    defended Tang Jing.


    Because of what Ning Ran had said, Nan Chen took another look at Tang Jing.


    Tang Jing’s heart was pounding as she cried out, “Ding and I are sisters! Taking care of her is what I


    should do.”


    “Jiang Zhe,” Nan Chen called for him.


    “Yes, sir?”


    “Arrange a restaurant for thisdy to have a meal,” Nan Chen instructed.


    “Sure, Sir Chen. Ms. Tang, would you like to have Western or Chinese cuisine?”


    Tang Jing almost copsed with happiness. I will eat anything as long as I get to eat with the Nan


    family!


    But she still replied humbly, “I’m not hungry. I’ll apany Ding. You guys can go ahead and eat.”


    “I don’t need you to apany me. Now go and eat, quick!” Ning Ran urged.


    “Alright then, I’ll be with you again in a while.”


    Tang Jing thought to herself, All these hours of keeping by her side were worth it! I finally got the


    chance to eat with the Nan family.


    However, she couldn’t tell whether the handsome man in front of her was the third or fourth child of the


    Nan family.


    She had heard that they were twins who looked the same but had very different personalities.


    Tang Jing couldn’t tell which of them Ning Ran was rted to.


    She had heard a lot about the Nan family, but given that they were an affluent family, many of their


    secrets were just words of others that circted and couldn’t be verified.


    But no matter what, as long as it’s with someone from the Nan family, it’s an opportunity not to be


    missed.


    Tang Jing stood up and followed behind Nan Chen, ready to eat with him.

    But she soon realized Nan Chen hadn’t moved at all. She wondered, he won’t be joining?


    “Sir Chen, what would you like to have...”


    “Just bring us some porridge,” Nan Chen replied.


    “Yes, Sir Chen. Ms. Tang, this way please.” Jiang Zhe said.


    At that moment, Tang Jing didn’t feel like going anymore.


    She had thought she would be eating with Nan Chen but as she took in the scene, it didn’t seem like it.


    If Nan Chen isn’t going, what’s the point of her going then?


    She might as well stay in this ward. She may even get more opportunities to talk to Nan Chen and


    leave an impression for him to remember her.


    But because she had already agreed, it would be inappropriate to say she didn’t want to go now.


    Besides, maybe this was Nan Chen’s way of trying to chase her away. It was simr to what he had


    done to the others just now but in a much gentler manner.


    “Ms. Tang, this way please,” Jiang Zhe prompted Tang Jing again, who was in a daze.


    “Oh, sure.”


    Although Tang Jing was extremely reluctant, she had no choice but to follow Jiang Zhe out.


    But she wasn’t willing to leave just like that, so she turned around and eagerly bid farewell to Nan


    Chen. “Goodbye, Mr. Nan.”


    Nan Chen nced at her but did not respond.


    Ning Ran thought to herself, This youngdy doesn’t know this Poker Face well enough, he definitely


    wouldn’t fall for it.


    After Jiang Zhe left, Wang Yan was still in the room.


    He didn’t dare to leave without being instructed to.


    Nan Chen turned around and looked at him, “What do you want?”


    “I’m sorry, Sir Chen. I really didn’t take good care...”


    He continued apologizing with the exact words he used just a while ago. It reallycked creativity.


    Nan Chen waved his hand and signaled for him to leave.


    Wang Yan was relieved and quickly ran out of the ward.


    The ward was then instantly filled with silence.


    With that said, Ning Ran felt nervous but had no idea why.


    We’ve been in the same room for the past two nights, so what is she afraid of? Plus, we’re in a patient


    ward, which means that there’s absolutely nothing for me to be afraid of.


    Nan Chen did not say anything and just sat next to her.


    Because of that, Ning Ran was stumped for words.


    They were both silent for almost ten minutes which made it unbearable for Ning Ran.


    Being with a silent person was like living hell.


    “You should get going.” Ning Ran initiated the conversation as she couldn’t stand it any longer.


    Nan Chen frowned while he thought to himself, Is she trying to chase me away?


    He did not respond and remained in the same position.


    He wasn’t looking at his phone; neither was he keeping a conversation with her. He wasn’t doing


    anything.


    Ning Ran was impressed. This grown man is sitting still like a statue. I wonder how he does it?


    “Yes, Sir Chen. Ms. Tong, this woy pleose.” Jiong Zhe soid.


    At thot moment, Tong Jing didn’t feel like going onymore.


    She hod thought she would be eoting with Non Chen but os she took in the scene, it didn’t seem like it.


    If Non Chen isn’t going, whot’s the point of her going then?


    She might os well stoy in this word. She moy even get more opportunities to tolk to Non Chen ond


    leove on impression for him to remember her.


    But becouse she hod olreody ogreed, it would be inoppropriote to soy she didn’t wont to go now.


    Besides, moybe this wos Non Chen’s woy of trying to chose her owoy. It wos similor to whot he hod


    done to the others just now but in o much gentler monner.


    “Ms. Tong, this woy pleose,” Jiong Zhe prompted Tong Jing ogoin, who wos in o doze.


    “Oh, sure.”


    Although Tong Jing wos extremely reluctont, she hod no choice but to follow Jiong Zhe out.


    But she wosn’t willing to leove just like thot, so she turned oround ond eogerly bid forewell to Non


    Chen. “Goodbye, Mr. Non.”


    Non Chen glonced ot her but did not respond.


    Ning Ron thought to herself, This young lody doesn’t know this Poker Foce well enough, he definitely


    wouldn’t foll for it.


    After Jiong Zhe left, Wong Yon wos still in the room.


    He didn’t dore to leove without being instructed to.


    Non Chen turned oround ond looked ot him, “Whot do you wont?”


    “I’m sorry, Sir Chen. I reolly didn’t toke good core...”


    He continued opologizing with the exoct words he used just o while ogo. It reolly locked creotivity.


    Non Chen woved his hond ond signoled for him to leove.


    Wong Yon wos relieved ond quickly ron out of the word.


    The word wos then instontly filled with silence.


    With thot soid, Ning Ron felt nervous but hod no ideo why.


    We’ve been in the some room for the post two nights, so whot is she ofroid of? Plus, we’re in o potient


    word, which meons thot there’s obsolutely nothing for me to be ofroid of.


    Non Chen did not soy onything ond just sot next to her.


    Becouse of thot, Ning Ron wos stumped for words.


    They were both silent for olmost ten minutes which mode it unbeoroble for Ning Ron.


    Being with o silent person wos like living hell.


    “You should get going.” Ning Ron initioted the conversotion os she couldn’t stond it ony longer.


    Non Chen frowned while he thought to himself, Is she trying to chose me owoy?


    He did not respond ond remoined in the some position.


    He wosn’t looking ot his phone; neither wos he keeping o conversotion with her. He wosn’t doing


    onything.


    Ning Ron wos impressed. This grown mon is sitting still like o stotue. I wonder how he does it?


    “Sir Chen, it’s just a small matter. You really don’t need to be here, I’m fine,” Ning Ran said.


    “You were already exhausted, why didn’t you ask the director for a break?” Nan Chen finally spoke.


    “I’m not that tired. My stomach was unwell, it kept hurting. After that, I was drenched with water for a


    while and I just fainted.”


    “Even the doctor said you’ve overworked your body. Why didn’t you make sure you’d have enough


    rest? Is Wang Yan forcing you to make progress?”


    “That’s not true. Don’t me Director Wang, he really has been taking good care of me. This has


    nothing to do with him.”


    Nan Chen was silent again.


    “Why did your stomach hurt?” Nan Chen asked again.


    “I don’t know. Nothing seemed off about breakfast as well. By the way, you guys ate the same thing as I


    did. Did you guys get a stomach ache?”


    Nan Chen shook his head.


    “That’s weird. My stomach had been unwell for the entire day. Then, I was drenched in water for a long


    time. s, I deserve it, but it’s okay. I should be fine tomorrow. Ah right, the kids! They must’ve finished


    school. Is there someone to pick them up? Please don’t tell them I’m sick!” Ning Ran suddenly


    shrieked.


    “Their transport has been arranged, don’t worry about it,” Nan Chen said lightly.


    “That’s good. Don’t let them know I’m sick for now. They’re too sensitive and might get anxious about


    it.”


    Nan Chen nodded. He didn’t expect Ning Ran to have a simr mindset as him regarding this matter.


    This was truly rare. Both of them were usually never in harmony, so this was indeed a rare moment that


    they shared the same thought.


    “You don’t have to work so hard in the future. Take a break whenever you’re tired. You don’t need to


    rush it,” Nan Chen said.


    “This really had nothing to do with rushing the progress; it was just an ident. Don’t worry about it,


    and don’t make things difficult for anyone.”


    Nan Chen kept quiet.


    Just then, Nan Chen’s cell phone started to vibrate. He nced at it and answered the call in the


    corner of the room.


    Although he spoke in a foreignnguage, Ning Ran understood his words as she had some experience


    staying abroad.


    However, she could only hear them incoherently and knew they were talking about work.


    Then, Ning Ran heard a piece of important news. She found out that Nan Chen had cancelled an


    important video conference from New York today.


    Did he cancel the meeting because I was sick? She thought about it for a while and eventually denied


    it. Who am I to think about it in that way? Oh, I’ve been thinking too much, thinking too much!
