Chapter 428
“Did Ms. Qing left with Uncle?”
It was Erbao who asked that question. Despite being ill, she was still eager to gossip.
However, Nan Chen and Ning Ran remained silent.
Ning Ran did not know that Nan Chen instructed Nan Xing to stop Ouyang Qing in her tracks.
She assumed that Nan Xing had taken a fancy to Ouyang Qing. After all, the woman was a rare
beauty.
“If Uncle and Ms. Qing get together, what will happen to you, Daddy?” Erbao continued nosing around.
This time, Nan Chen could not sit idly by anymore. Now that Erbao had addressed him directly, he
could no longer pretend to be deaf or mute.
“Don’t say anything ridiculous,” replied Nan Chen in a deep voice.
Ning Ran turned around and resisted her urge tough.
“I’m not saying anything ridiculous. Daddy, you’re going to marry Ms. Qing. But now that Uncle is
together with her, what will happen to you, Daddy? Are you going to fight with Uncle over Ms. Qing?”
“Ning Sihan!”
Nan Chen rarely called Erbao by her real name. This meant that he was genuinely furious.
Hence, Erbao dared not speak anymore. She merely pouted, showing that she was still reluctant to
give in.
“Aren’t you sick? Why are you so talkative?” asked Nan Chen irritatedly.
“Hmph! Someone had the guts to do it, but is stopping others from talking about it?” remarked Ning
Ran sarcastically at the side.
This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org.
Nan Chen whirled around and shot a re at Ning Ran, his gaze as sharp as daggers.
Ning Ran and the children were sitting in the back seats, while Nan Chen sat beside the driver’s seat.
In order to look at Ning Ran, he would need to twist his head back.
However, even though he tried his best to meet Ning Ran’s eyes, she refused to meet his gaze.
Instead, she was looking out the window.
This meant that Nan Chen’s effort waspletely futile as Ning Ran could not be bothered with him at
all. Feeling ignored, he merely became more frustrated.
It wasn’t long until a surge of fury shot through him.
“What did I do? It’s alright if the kids say something wrong out of ignorance. But why are you kicking up
a fuss too?” chided Nan Chen coldly.
“The kids aren’tpletely ignorant. They understand some things too. It’s just that certain adults
refuse to admit it. I just find it amusing! I thought men are supposed to be brave enough to confess to
their actions. Yet, a certain someone doesn’t have the guts to admit it, and is even prohibiting others
from mentioning it!”
As Ning Ran was furious, her words were very provocative as well.
Nan Chen could not help but turn his head around again. “What did I do?”
“In order to make Ouyang Qing get closer to the kids, you deliberately let them y with her. In the
end, Erbao got hospitalized. Didn’t you orchestrate everything?”
Upon mentioning this, Ning Ran became agitated again.
“No, I did not!” The kids had an agreement with Ouyang Qing themselves! It’s none of my business.
What should I say so that you’ll trust me?
“Dabao, you’re the most sensible here. Exin what happened! Since someone can’t understand
simple logic, tell her what happened!” instructed Nan Chen angrily.
“Daddy, I’m so tired. I think I’m going to take a nap. Both of you should continue discussing. Children
like me shouldn’t chime in.” Dabao yawned.
Ning Ran turned her head around, stifling herughter.
Nan Chen now understood that the kids were standing on Ning Ran’s side.
Even Dabao, who was usually so reasonable, supported Ning Ran during critical junctures.
This was not hard to understand either. After all, the kids grew up with their mother ever since they
were born. They only had each other.
Hence, it was normal that the kids wished to protect their Mommy.
“Then, Erbao, you can tell her.” Nan Chen turned his gaze to Erbao.
However, the little girl pped a tiny hand over her mouth and shook her head hurriedly.
“What are you doing?”
“Daddy, you said that I should stop spouting nonsense. So I dare not speak anymore,” muttered Erbao.
Ning Ran felt an urge tough again.
Exasperated, Nan Chen pointed at Dabao, then back at Erbao. “Fine! I see what you’re doing. Very
well!”
“You’re not allowed to threaten the kids!” Ning Ran found another opening to attack him.
“Did I threaten them?” Nan Chen frowned.
“Of course! I heard you threatening them!”
“Did I threaten you?” Nan Chen asked the two kids.
“I’m so tired. Daddy, Mommy, please stop arguing and let me sleep.” Dabao let out a huge yawn again.
“I’m a bit tired too. I want to sleep as well,” agreed Erbao.
“Did you hear them? The kids told you to stop arguing!” Ning Ran red at Nan Chen.
“They’re talking about you! You’re the one being naggy here!” Nan Chen was reluctant to back down
either.
“They were obviously referring to you!”
“No, you!”
When Nan Chen turned his head around, he spotted the smile on the driver’s face.
Suddenly, he realized something. Since when have I stooped to arguing with a woman?
I’m getting negatively influenced by her.
How embarrassing!
With that thought, Nan Chen fell silent. He swore to himself that he would never argue with Ning Ran in
front of outsiders again. It was simply too embarrassing.
Just like that, they arrived at the Commoner Residence in total silence.
After alighting the car, Ning Ran was still deliberating about whether she should enter as she had not
gotten Nan Zhengde’s permission yet.
After all, the older man only wanted to see the child. No one said that she was permitted to enter.
Furthermore, she had just gotten into a fight with poker face. Seeing that the man’s expression was still
frosty, it was unlikely that he would let her in too.
The Commoner Residence was not just an ordinary residence. Without an invitation, one could not
enter so casually.
“Mommy, why are you standing there? Let’s go.” Erbao turned around and nced at Ning Ran.
“I won’t be going in. Send my greetings to Great-Grandpa and Great-Grandma.” Ning Ran waved her
hands.
At that, Dabao and Erbao gazed at Nan Chen simultaneously.
They knew that whether or not their Mommy could enter hinged on their Daddy’s words.
“It’s dinner time. Where will you go alone? Are you crazy?” asked Nan Chen coldly.
“You’re the crazy one! This is your home!” replied Ning Ran angrily.
“If you aren’t crazy, just go in. Erbao just got discharged, so you need to take care of her,” said Nan
Chen.
“Well, isn’t it very humiliating to me if I have to do everything at your wish?” rebuked Ning Ran.
“Does my Grandpa have to wee you personally before you find it not humiliating? Or will you only
feel honored if the entire Nan family gives you a warm wee?”
Ning Ran was rendered speechless.
I thought this man wasn’t so talkative in the past. Why is he bing so harsh with his words?
Did he be more talkative because he became meaner or older?
Ning Ran was not the only one harboring such a thought. Dabao wondered about the same thing too.
In the past, Dabao thought that his father was simr to him as both of them did not like to talk.
However, he realized that Nan Chen was starting to change.
Normally, Daddy’s a man of few words. However, whenever he’s with me or Erbao, he’d speak more.
He bes more talkative too when Mommy is around.
More shockingly, Daddy actually argues sometimes. This is unbelievable!
Noticing how Ning Ran was still standing there unmoving, Nan Chen instructed the bodyguard, “Tell my
Grandpa to wee Ning Ran personally. Only then would she feel honored!”
Ning Ran was instantly shocked. Damn this man! I can’t let that happen.
“Don’t listen to him. He’s got a screw loose.” Ning Ran quickly stopped the bodyguard.
Despite feeling an urge tough, the bodyguard did not dare to. Hence, he merely looked at Nan Chen,
not knowing what to do next.
“I’ll go in myself. No one needs to wee me. I don’t need to be treated with such honor either. I’m
just an insignificant figure who’s constantly bullied by others. I don’t deserve any respect.”
As Ning Ran mumbled resentfully, she walked in.
Nan Chen snorted coldly before scooping Erbao into his arms.
“Daddy, I should walk on my own. If Great-Grandpa sees that I can walk, he’ll feel much more relieved,”
said Erbao sensibly.
Thinking that his daughter was right, Nan Chen ced her back onto the ground. “That’s my girl! You’re
so much more sensible than some adults.”
