Chapter 585
After Nan Chen brought the children out, Ning Rany on the bed for a little longer.
Somehow, she still felt an uncontroble feeling of disappointment.
No matter how many times she tried to make herself snap out of it, her efforts were futile.
Do I really want to register my name in the Nan family''s household? Why? I''m not even married to Nan
Chen, and yet I''ve already encountered all kinds of attacks and retaliation. Even my children got
involved. I don''t know what will happen if I actually get married to Nan Chen. Do I really want to
be the wife of a wealthy man so badly? How''s that possible? But if I don''t want to, why am I
feeling so disappointed? Am I crazy?
Ning Ran was mad at herself. Hence, she crawled out of the bed, went to the gym, and started jogging
on the treadmill.
She turned up the speed, which made her run so vigorously that she was drenched in sweat. Only then
did she feel better.
Just then, her phone vibrated. It was from Ouyang Qi.
Ning Ran nced at the screen and set the phone down. She did not want to answer the call.
However, Ouyang Qi continued calling, and Ning Ran still did not pick up. She was not in the mood to
talk nonsense to him.
Finally, she received a text from him: I have something important to report to you. It''s very important.
What kind of important matters could he have? I heard he and the members of the Ouyang family had
been to the Commoner Residence before my visit therest night. Could it have something to do with
yesterday''s matters?
A few secondster, Ouyang Qi texted another message: It''s got something to do with your family.
At that moment, Ning Ran could no longer maintain her calmposure.
She could ignore everything else, but she could never ignore it when it was rted to her family.
Thus, she returned the call right away. “What do you want to talk to me about?”
“Let''s have lunch together. We can talk while we eat.”
“Forget about the meal. What is it? You can just tell me over the phone.”
“I''m arriving at your house soon. Come on out. We need to talk about it in person. I won''t talk to you if
you don''t,” Ouyang Qi said.
Ning Ran really did not want to go out. Nheless, she was curious to find out what he wanted to say.
In the end, she had no choice but to agree.
Just as she finished changing into a fresh set of clothes, Ouyang Qi gave her another call to let her
know he had arrived at the door.
Hence, Ning Ran went downstairs and spotted his car right away.
He was not in his sports car that day. Instead, he drove a Mercedes-Benz G-ss.
“Get in.” Ouyang Qi opened the car door for her.
“I told you, there''s no need for a meal. If you''ve got something to say, you can just say it here.”
“Okay, if you don''t go out for a meal with me, then I''ll eat at your house. Are you going to cook for me?
I''m hungry right now, and a meal is a must. It all depends on where I''m going to have it,” Ouyang Qi
said with a smile.
“You can''t go into my house. You''ve created a huge problem for me thest time you went in,” Ning
Ran said in annoyance.
“Nan Chen''s just a petty person. What''s wrong with hanging out at someone''s house in broad
daylight?”
“No means no! Are you going to tell me or not?” Ning Ran was not in a good mood. Naturally, she did
not bother to speak courteously.
“Fine. I''m not going to say anything, then. I''ll leave now.” Ouyang Qi got into the car and started the
engine, getting ready to leave.

Ning Ran hurried forward and held the car''s rear mirror. “You can''t just leave! You didn''t even tell me
anything.”
“Then, get into the car. Only then I''ll tell you. If you don''t, then you can forget about it. You''re not letting
me into your house, nor are you willing to have a meal with me. There''s nothing for me to say.” Ouyang
Qi behaved more stubbornly.
Hearing that, Ning Ran had no choice but to get into the car.
Ouyang Qi finally felt happy. “That''s more like it. It''s broad daylight, and we''re just going for a meal. I
can''t believe Nan Chen would get angry over it. That kind of man is not worth it.”
“Get to the point. What is it you wanted to tell me? If you don''t get it clear, I won''t have the mood to
eat.”
“Oh, don''t be like that. We haven''t met each other in ages. You should be happier and not scowl all the
time. Have you been with Nan Chen for too long that you''ve also learned how to put on a dead-serious
face? I don''t even like expressionless people. Only childish people find them cool.” Ouyang Qi seemed
to have a lot to talk about when it came to matters rted to Nan Chen. His behavior could basically be
summarized with four words—unwilling to give in.
“Cut it with the nonsense and tell me quickly.”
“There''s no rush. Let''s have a meal and talk about it after that. Since the weather''s cold, let''s have
some hotpot. I still remember you like to eat hotpot.”
Since I''m already out of the house, I guess there''s really no rush to it then.
Ning Ran did not have her breakfast, so she was undeniably a little hungry. Hence, she agreed to have
a hotpot.
Besides, she had not been in a good mood recently. Perhaps some spicy hotpot soup could make her
feel better.
Just as Ouyang Qi''s car had driven out of the neighborhood of vis, another car started tailing them.
There were two people in the car—Ouyang Qing and Bai Hua.
Recently, Bai Hua had been staying at the vi Ouyang Qing provided. Coincidentally, the vi was in
Red Maple City.
Since Ouyang Qing and her family were returning to Pearl City soon, she purposely came over to say
goodbye to Bai Hua and have a meal together.
Just as her car arrived at the door, she spotted Ouyang Qi''s car.
Naturally, she figured the reason behind Ouyang Qi''s car appearing in the area was rted to Ning
Ran. Thus, she decided to tail Ouyang Qi''s car.
“That Mercedes Benz off-road vehicle is my brother''s car. I''m sure my brother is here to pick Ning Ran
up,” Ouyang Qing exined.
Bai Hua''s interest was piqued upon hearing that. “That shameless woman has hooked up with the
uncivilized man again?”
As soon as those words left her mouth, she realized it was quite inappropriate to address Ouyang
Qing''s brother as an uncivilized man.
“Maybe they''re meeting up for some matters. Let''s follow them to find out,” she suggested.
Soon, the car pulled up in front of a hotel. Ouyang Qi said to Ning Ran, “I''ve been staying here recently.
I''ll go up to get a few things ande back in a while. Can you wait in the car?”
“Okay,” Ning Ran responded.
Ouyang Qi dashed out of the car, retrieved something from his room, and returned to the car.
Then, he continued driving in the direction of Hotpot City.
Meanwhile, Ouyang Qing, who had been following closely behind, lost interest in tailing them at the
sight of Hotpot City. Hence, she stopped following them.
She and Bai Hua did not like eating hotpot, so they decided to go somewhere else to have their meal.
After taking their seats, Ning Ran picked up the iPad that had the menu and selected countless dishes
as if venting her emotions. Finally, she ordered an extra spicy soup base.
Suddenly, Ouyang Qi realized Ning Ran looked a little dispirited. “You look upset. Did something
happen? Did you get into an argument with Nan Chen?”
“It''s nothing. Hey, what is it you wanted to talk about? I''m sure you can say it now, right?”
“There''s no hurry. We can talk when we''re done eating. Wait here for me. I''ll get the wine from my car.”
“Let''s just make do with what we ordered and not have any alcohol.”
“It''s fine. The weather''s cold. We should have a ss. It''s a bottle of great wine, anyway.”
After a short while, Ouyang Qi returned to his seat with a bottle of white wine in his hand.
Soon, the dishes were served one after another. The sight of the boiling hotpot soup triggered Ning
Ran''s appetite.
No wonder people say good food and beautiful sceneries are the only things people can never say no
to. Time to dig in!
“Here, have a ss. This wine is really great.” Ouyang Qi poured Ning Ran a ss.
Ning Ran believed a ss of white wine would not make her drunk. Hence, she finished the wine in
one go.
Then, she continued gobbling the food.
Once she was full, she asked Ouyang Qi again, “So, what is it you wanted to tell me?”
Ouyang Qi put down his utensils, gulped the wine, and wiped his mouth. “My dad wants me to sleep
with you. He wants Nan Chen to be cheated on.”
“What nonsense are you spouting?” Ning Ran fumed.
“I''m not spouting nonsense. It''s what my dad said. He wants me to do everything in my power to sleep
with you and have Nan Chen cheated on. Then, Nan Chen will be furious. He''ll lose all sense of
rationality and make mistakes,” Ouyang Qi said truthfully.
