Chapter 558


    Don''t you know I attended this ceremony for Ning Ran''s sake? Or perhaps, you''re asking me


    purposively to put me in a tight spot? Utterly speechless, Nan Chen decided to turn a deaf ear to him.


    Ning Ran felt Zheng Lunlun had asked inappropriate questions and glowered at him.


    “Why are you ring at me? I''m asking out of my curiosity. It''s all right if you don''t feel like answering


    me.” Zheng Lunlun felt dejected, like a deted balloon.


    A pin-drop silence ensued.


    Minutester, he turned and suggested eagerly, “Since we''re free now, let''s have a session!”


    No doubt, he was referring to having a session of the game. In his eyes, Ning Ran was an expert


    yer. However, she did not seem to be into it ever since she was back from overseas.


    “No!” She turned him down at once, knowing Nan Chen would not like that.


    “Come on! Let''s y to pass the time since we''ve nothing to do now,” Zheng Lunlun pestered her.


    “You seem to be really free now, huh?” Nan Chen piped up.


    “Hmm... Undeniably, we''re quite free in the car now,” Zheng Lunlun admitted hesitantly.


    “Qiao Zhan, stop the car here. Let him be the driver then,” Nan Chen instructed abruptly.


    “Huh?” Qiao Zhan was bbergasted.


    “Let him drive,” Nan Chen repeated.


    “Wait a minute! I don''t have good driving skills. Forget about it, okay?” Zheng Lunlun tried to talk his


    uncle into changing his mind.


    “Aren''t you very free now?”


    “Fine then. I''m not free now, okay?” Zheng Lunlun emphasized.


    “Let him drive then. You may leave now.” Nan Chen insisted.


    Qiao Zhan was on cloud nine. He stopped the car by the roadside immediately and hailed a taxi.


    “D*mn it! How could he leave right away?” Zheng Lunlun fumed.


    “Go ahead to drive now!” Nan Chen instructed.


    “I-I...” Zheng Lunlun stammered.


    “So you''re reluctant, and I should be the one driving?” Nan Chen sneered.


    “Fine! I''ll drive, okay? I only have myself to me!” Zheng Lunlunmented piteously with a grimace.


    He had no choice but to pull open the door of the driver''s seat and hop into it. Hmph! If I knew earlier


    that I would be a driver today, I surely wouldn''t tag along with them!


    Perplexed, Ning Ran could not fathom why Nan Chen seemed to be in a bad mood. He looks annoyed.


    Did anyone get on his nerves?


    After pondering for a while, she doubted inwardly. I didn''t do anything wrong, did I?


    At that moment, Nan Chen''s phone vibrated again. It turned out to be Erbao who called him once


    again. “Daddy, you''re not back yet?”


    “I''m on the way back!”


    “How about Mommy? Is she with you now? I don''t seem to see her on TV now. Dabao said she might


    have left. Is she on the way home?”


    “Yeah, she''s on the way back with me,” Nan Chen reassured her.


    Ning Ran stretched out her hand to get his phone when she seemed to overhear Erbao''s voice on the


    other end of the line. Nheless, he moved aside and refused to pass it to her.


    Did I step on his toes unintentionally? Why does he seem to be displeased to see me?


    Initially, Ning Ran was only making a wild guess. When Nan Chen refused to let her have his phone,


    she was sure she had gotten on his nerves unknowingly. But I can''t recall anything! I didn''t do anything


    wrong, did I? How did I end up irking him? Pfft! His temper is really unpredictable!


    Sensing that he was displeased, Ning Ran did not dare to infuriate him further. They remained silent


    along the way till they reached home.


    When Erbao heard the car pull to a halt, she dashed out excitedly to wee them. “Mommy!”


    “Ah! Darling, you''re not asleep?” Ning Ran was astounded.


    “We''re waiting for you to be home! Mommy, you''re as beautiful as an angel!” Erbao gasped admiringly.


    In her eyes, angels were the most charming among all.


    “Erbao, did you miss me?” Zheng Lunlun approached her and greeted her eagerly.


    “Blondie, why are you here?”


    “I''m here to visit you!” He winked at her.


    “Oh! Really? Did you bring me any snacks?” Erbao cut to the chase.


    Her question caught him off guard at once. Needless to say, he did not bring anything along with him


    as he came straight from the ceremony.


    “You didn''t? Hmph! Then how could you say that you''re here to visit me?” Erbao pouted her lips.


    “I did! It''s inconvenient for me to bring along the gifts while attending the ceremony. I''ll bring them for


    you tomorrow, okay?” Zheng Lunlun could only lie to her so that he would not rain on her parade.


    Erbao''s face brightened a bit in an instant. “All right. I''ll go and get from you tomorrow then. Our school


    holiday has started, and I''m bored stiff. Coincidentally, I can go out tomorrow to pass the time!”


    Erbao''s adorableness was irresistible for Zheng Lunlun. Hence, he carried her up gleefully.


    On the other hand, Dabao was nonchnt as ever and sounded mature like an adult. “Mommy,


    congrattions to you on winning the award. You''re one step closer to Best Actress now.”


    “Thanks, Darling. I''d better go and get changed first. It''s exhausting wearing this!” Ning Ran stated


    casually.


    “Mommy, you''re now on the trending topics,” Dabao informed her.


    “Oh, is it? Are theizens rebuking me again?” she asked anxiously.


    “No. Most of themplimented that you''re beautiful. In fact, they thought you''re the most stunning


    artist of the night.”


    Hearing that, she was tickled pink in an instant.


    After getting changed in her room, Ning Ran could not hold herself back from unlocking her phone to


    have a look.


    What Dabao told her a while ago was true as Bob. She was ranked at the top in the trending topics.


    The headline sounded unique as well... Two Superstars Supported The Newbie Who Deserves The


    Award For The Best New Artist.


    Amazingly, the observantizens could sense that Zheng Lunlun and Ye Meng were arranged to walk


    down the red carpet together with Ning Ran that round to help her gain fame.


    Did I stap on his toas unintantionally? Why doas ha saam to ba disasad to saa ma?


    Initially, Ning Ran was only making a wild guass. Whan Nan Chan rafusad tot har hava his phona,


    sha was sura sha had gottan on his narvas unknowingly. But I can''t racall anything! I didn''t do anything


    wrong, did I? How did I and up irking him? Pfft! His tampar is raally unpradicta!

    “Thanks, Darling. I''d battar go and gat changad first. It''s axhausting waaring this!” Ning Ran statad

    down tha rad carpat togathar with Ning Ran that round to halp har gain fama.


    Furthermore, Nan Chen''s unexpected emergence at the ceremony was obviously due to the same


    intention.

    Someizensmented that Ning Ran''s bright future was beyond imagination as one of the most


    prominent business elites was backing her up. Nheless, they condemned her for having low


    emotional intelligence as she did not mention Nan Chen''s name while giving a gratitude speech on


    stage.


    Only then did Ning Ran have a grasp of the situation. So was that why Poker Face was mad at me


    along the way just now? Well, I can''t me him for that too! He attended the ceremony merely to


    support me, but how could I have forgotten to thank him on the spot? Even though I didn''t thank him on


    the stage, deep down, I''m thankful to him. Without him, I won''t be as sessful as how I''m today! I


    thought a bigwig like him wouldn''t mind.


    After stepping out of the room, she noticed that Zheng Lunlun had found a bottle of champagne out of


    nowhere.


    Meanwhile, Nan Chen remained seated silently without uttering any words.


    At that moment, the maid took out a cake from the kitchen and ced it on the dining table. “Sir Chen,


    if there''s nothing else, I''ll call it a day.”


    Nan Chen nodded at her approvingly. “Thanks for your hard work.”


    Ning Ran was stunned. He even prepared a cake to celebrate for me?


    “Mommy, Daddy has specially prepared this to celebrate for you. We must finish it tonight. It might not


    be able tost till tomorrow!” Erbao licked her lips as she drooled over the cake.


    “Thank you so much!” Ning Ran thanked Nan Chen sincerely.


    “I didn''t prepare that. The maid prepared that without my knowledge. If you don''t like it, throw it away!”


    Hmph! He''s obviously still mad at me! Ning Ran snorted inwardly.


    “Of course I like it! But how did you know that I''ll surely win this award? Did anyone pull strings for me


    behind?” Ning Ran asked warily.


    “Uncle knew it! Not only him, all of us knew it too! After all, the other two artists nominated are


    iparable to you, be it your looks or your acting skills. If any of them turns out to be the winner of


    the award, then somebody must be manipting behind,” Zheng Lunlun exined.


    “Thank you so much for having faith in me. I''ll continue to strive hard for self-improvement. Besides, I


    wish to express my utmost gratitude to the kids'' daddy. If not for Sir Chen, I won''t be as sessful as


    how I''m today. Sir Chen, let me drink a toast to you as a token of my gratitude!” Ning Ran served Nan


    Chen a ss of champagne.


    “Oh no! Why do I suddenly have a feeling that I''ve turned into a third wheel? It seems I shouldn''t be


    interrupting you here!” Zheng Lunlun uttered exaggeratively.


    “Do you only realize it now?” Dabao mocked.


    “If I''m a third wheel, aren''t both of you the same?” Zheng Lunlun looked at the twins, feeling amused.


    “We''re not. We''re page boy and flower girl. You''re the one third wheel!” Erbao''s words were straight to


    the point, like a dagger piercing his heart.
