Chapter 645


    Erbao came out at that time and ran toward Ning Ran.


    “What are you guys talking about, Mommy?” the girl asked, hugging and rubbing her head against her


    mother.


    “I''m talking to Aunt Xiang here. Why don''t you go there and y first?”


    “When is Daddying to see us?”


    “Don''t worry. He''ll be here after he''s done with work. Go on. Go y.”


    “We''re meeting Lu Yunxueter for dinner, Aunt Xiang. Don''t forget about that,” Erbao reminded as she


    looked at Cheng Xiangyun.


    “I remember, you little greedy cat. We still have a lot of time before dinner. Are you thinking about


    dinner already?” Cheng Xiangyun replied with augh.


    “What? Are you guys meeting someone for dinner? Why didn''t you tell me?” Ning Ran asked.


    “Well, I''m telling you now. Do you remember Lu Jingyuan? She''s the one who brought the Erbao to see


    Dr. Ding.”


    “Right, you mentioned her. I remember you had high praises for her. Actually, I should buy her


    something to thank her for bringing Erbao to the doctor, but what should I get for her?” Ning Ran asked


    with a frown.


    “I don''t think she would want anything. She''s not into socializing. Besides, shecks nothing.”


    “It seems that you''re really fond of her. I can''t wait to see her.”


    “I''m sure you''ll like her too. She''s an extremely nice person. She''s pretty, frank, and modest. It''s easy


    getting along with her. She''s our type.”


    “Did you say she has twin girls who look like Erbao?”

    “Well, just a bit. They are not that simr.”


    “Is she a single mother too?”


    “Yes. She''s from the capital but moved to Livingsfill with the two children. This inn belongs to her.”


    Ning Ran looked around the ce. The inn was strategically located beside the mountain and the river,


    and the view was splendid, so it went without saying that the amodation was expensive. In fact,


    the price exceeded that of some rated hotels.


    Since the inn took up a vast area, the owner must have many connections to gain approval from the


    government to build an architecture like that.


    Even after a project was approved, building everything from scratch would still require a lot of


    investment.


    Besides, its state-of-the-art facilities showed that constructing that inn cost tens of millions.


    Judging from how the inn looked, Ning Ran was convinced that Cheng Xiangyun was right. Lu


    Jingyuancked nothing.


    To be precise, the owner did not even need to work. The sole profit from this inn would be enough to


    provide afortable living for the whole family.


    Since Nan Chen had other people book this inn for that trip, Ning Ran had no idea if Nan Chen had


    explicitly chosen this ce for their amodation.


    Well, if he did, then there must be something going on between the inn owner and Nan Chen. It''d better


    not be the case because I would be deeply offended.


    The more Ning Ran thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong. She took out her phone


    and called Nan Chen.


    As Nan Chen was resting, he picked up almost immediately. “What is it?” He sounded sluggish.


    “Did you get your men to book this inn for us?” Ning Ran asked.


    “Yes. What about it? Is it not good enough?”


    “Oh, no. We''re having a good time here. Tell me. Did you book this ce so you can get a jolly good


    time too?” Ning Ran questioned.


    “Of course. I want to have a good time there too. Don''t tell me you prefer staying in a shady ce,”


    Nan Chen teased.


    “Do you know the owner of this inn?”


    “The owner? I don''t even know the owner. Qiao Zhan''s the one who made the booking. What''s going


    on? What happened?”


    “Do you really not know her?” Ning Ran interrogated again.


    “I really don''t. What''s going on? Is there something wrong with the ce? Is it not safe? It cannot be.


    Qiao Zhan should have made sure the ce was safe before asking his men to book it. You can just


    move to another ce if you don''t like it.”


    “So, you didn''t book this ce yourself.” Ning Ran was still doubtful.


    “Do you think I have the time to look into little things like this?” Nan Chen asked in return.


    “I don''t know. You might have taken the time to look into this because of a woman,” Ning Ran replied


    with a hint of jealousy.


    It was then that Nan Chen sensed something was wrong. “What are you talking about? What woman?


    What''s going on?”


    “Do you really not know the boss here?”


    “I really don''t know her. Tell me what''s happening.”


    “It''s nothing, then. Get back to work. I was just asking,” Ning Ran answered and hung up.


    “Seriously? Did you get into a fight with Sir Chen because of this? That was so unnecessary. I was just


    saying. You don''t have to get so suspicious. Sir Chen''s gonna me me for talking too much now,”


    Cheng Xiangyunined, unable to understand Ning Ran''s action.


    “Don''t worry about it. He said he didn''t know her,” Ning Ran assured, but she changed her mind the


    next second. “Actually, do you think Nan Chen knows her? He wasn''t lying, right?”


    Cheng Xiangyun stared at Ning Ran in disbelief. “For real? How could you say that? There''s no point in


    lying to you. Sir Chen can just say he knows her if he does.”


    “God knows if he''s lying because he feels bad.” Ning Ran was not convinced.


    “What''s there to feel bad about? You''re not married to him, so it doesn''t matter if he knows all the


    women outside. There''s nothing you can do about it,” Cheng Xiangyun pointed out.


    “Seriously, Cheng Xiangyun? Whose side are you on? You''re my assistant; I''m your boss. How could


    you take his side?”


    “Come on. I''m an employee at Star Entertainment. Sir Chen''s the one who pays me. You''re not my


    boss. Besides, I didn''t say anything wrong. Why are you so worked up? Don''t y the victim. Even if


    Sir Chen arranged for you to stay here, it didn''t mean that he had an ulterior motive. There''s nothing


    threatening about what''s happening.”


    Ning Ran thought about it and realized that she might have overreacted.


    “Don''t tell me you''re in love with Sir Chen. Are you jealous?” Cheng Xiangyun asked as she moved


    closer.


    “Get lost. I don''t like him. Stop talking nonsense.”


    “Now, now. I must be right, or else there''s no point getting angry,” Cheng Xiangyun teased.


    Suddenly, Ning Ran''s phone rang. It was Qiao Zhan.


    It turned out that Nan Chen had called Qiao Zhan asking him what the issue was. Qiao Zhan was


    grocery-shopping outside and had no idea why Ning Ran was upset either, so he called Ning Ran


    himself.


    Ning Ran felt better when she found out that Nan Chen cared so deeply about her feelings that he


    called Qiao Zhan. However, she could not bring herself to admit that she had been overreacting for no


    good reason, so she just told Qiao Zhan that she had called Nan Chen because the children missed


    him.


    She also added that Nan Chen should visit the children when he was free.


    When Ning Ran hung up, Cheng Xiangyun was smiling on a phone call.


    “Ms. Lu''s d to know you''re here. You''re also invited for dinner at her houseter. She also asked if


    there are any dishes you like in particr so she can prepare them,” Cheng Xiangyun informed after


    the call ended.


    “That''s nice of her. I hope she has no ulterior motive,” Ning Ran questioned, frowning.


    Cheng Xiangyun let out a cry of disappointment. “Come on! People are just being nice. Can you please


    stop being so skeptical?”
