Chapter 660


    Ning Ran didn''t utter a single word on the way back.


    When she arrived at Mountview Inn, she went straight for a bath before changing her clothes.


    Nan Chen yed with the children for a while before pulling out hisptop to handle his emails.


    Ning Ran wasn''t feeling particrly great, so she entered the bedroom after she was done cleaning


    herself.


    Soon after shey on the bed, Nan Chen arrived in his pajamas.


    He didn''t need to use a crutch inside the building because the walls were his support.


    Just as he was about to lie down, Ning Ran stopped him. “There''s another bedroom next to this one.


    You should sleep there.”


    “The children are watching. Besides, I came all the way here to stay with you. How can you ask me to


    sleep in another bed?” Nan Chen retorted.


    I hate it when he uses the children as an excuse. Furrowing her eyebrows, she suggested, “You can


    sleep on the couch.”


    “My leg''s impaired. What if I fall from the couch and hurt it again?”


    “Fine, then I''ll just sleep on the couch. Are you happy with that?”


    “Sounds good to me.”


    Nan Chen''s blunt answer ticked off Ning Ran. “That''s not right. This is my bedroom. What right do you


    have to make me sleep on the couch?”


    “I didn''t make you do that. You were the one who said you wanted to. There''s nothing I can do about it.”


    She was so infuriated that she couldn''t squeeze a word out of her mouth. Then she left the bed and


    leaped onto the couch.


    However, she swiftly realized there wasn''t a nket on the couch, so she turned back to the bed, ready


    to grab the one on that furniture.


    Unfortunately, Nan Chen was already lying on the bed with the nket pinned underneath him. She


    couldn''t pull it out.


    “This is my nket! Go find your own!” Ning Ran barked.


    “I''m using this one. Why is it suddenly yours?”


    Regardless of how hard she pulled, she couldn''t remove the nket from his grip.


    It blew her top off. Fine! I don''t want it anymore! It''s not like I''ll freeze to death!


    Thus, she returned to the couch andy there.


    Secondster, Nan Chen left the bed and approached the couch.


    Ning Ran''s eyes remained shut as she was too annoyed to speak to him further.


    “Go back to the bed and sleep there. If you don''t, I''ll have to carry you there while my leg''s still limping.


    Should I do that, my injury will undoubtedly worsen. Are you really willing to see that? It''ll mean my


    recovery so far will be for naught,” Nan Chen uttered.


    Is he trying to put on a pitiful act, or is he threatening me? Maybe both? She wondered.


    Seeing that she remained quiet, he bent down, as he said he would, and prepared to carry her.


    That immediately spooked Ning Ran to leave the couch and crawl back to the bed.


    Nan Chen then followed her andy down next to her. “What''s putting a frown on your face?”


    “Nothing. I''m happy right now, can''t you see?” Ning Ran spat.


    “Really? Then why don''t I feel like you''re happy?”


    “Just because you don''t feel it doesn''t mean I''m not happy.”


    “Fine. You are happy, then. Sleep.”


    However, Ning Ran couldn''t as she tossed and turned on the bed.


    On the other hand, Nan Chen remained unmoved, as though he really was on the verge of falling


    asleep.


    A sigh slipped out of her mouth as she stretched her leg and kicked him.


    “Ouch!” he yelled.


    Crap! Did I hit his injured leg? Wait, isn''t his left leg the one injured and not the right? Did my kick to his


    right leg somehow cause his left to feel pain? Not to mention it was just a gentle kick. Is it really that


    painful? Ning Ran speedily sat up and asked caringly, “Is it painful? I didn''t do it on purpose.”


    In the next second, her head was suddenly pressed down, which was followed by a kiss.


    The kiss was sudden and forceful, making it difficult for her to breathe.


    Due to ack of oxygen, pain began radiating from her chest.


    When the kiss was over, Ning Ran took in multiple deep breaths. I was tricked again! ”What did Lu


    Jingyuan talk to you about in private?”


    “Have you been holding back the urge to ask that question until now?” Nan Chen inquired.


    “No. I don''t care about it that much. I was just casually asking about it.”


    “Well, since you don''t care about it, it''ll be pointless for me to tell you, so I won''t.”


    “No, you have to!”


    “You said you didn''t care about it, so why are you acting as if you do? Are you that bored?”


    “Well, I may not care about it very much, but it''s still rted to me.”


    “And how is it rted to you?”


    “Lu Jingyuan''s my friend, so of course, it''s rted to me! Just let me know what she talked to you about


    in private!”


    “Must I tell you what your friend spoke about with me? It was a private conversation, meaning she


    didn''t want you to know what she said. In that case, you''re better off not knowing. Why are you still


    asking?”


    Ning Ran couldn''t produce an answer. “Are you going to tell me or not?”


    “No.”


    “Fine, then I''ll tell the children tomorrow that you''re a baddie because you and Lu Yunxue''s mommy


    have a secret that we aren''t allowed to know about. My children are geniuses. Their intelligence is on


    par with ordinary adults''. Do you think they won''t mind?” That was her ace up her sleeve.


    “Are you crazy? I didn''t do anything inappropriate with her, so why are you nning to tell the children


    that?”


    “I''m not crazy. If you don''t tell me what you talked about with her, how would I know if you did or didn''t


    do something inappropriate?”


    “Do you have a loose screw in your head? It''s nothing notable at all, truly.” Nan Chen was enraged.


    “If it''s nothing notable, then just tell me about it already. Why hide it instead?”


    This woman''s getting more and more difficult to deal with! Although, it''s my fault for spoiling her rotten!


    In the end, he relented. “She merely wondered if I had met her before.”


    “She thought she met you before? Does this mean she found you familiar?”


    “I suppose so. Otherwise, she wouldn''t have asked that question,” Nan Chen answered honestly.


    That made Ning Ran even more anxious. “You never met her before? Or are you just pretending you


    never did?”


    “I''m not sure.”


    “What do you mean by that?”


    “It''s possible we met a long time ago, but I didn''t pay attention to her, so I don''t remember. Or maybe I


    genuinely have nevere across her before. Thus, I have no impression of her. Both are possible,


    and it''s why I''m unsure.”


    While Nan Chen''s answer seemed reasonable and truthful, Ning Ran, who was already skeptical,


    couldn''t help but feel uneasy.


    She arranged for a meeting because she hoped she would obtain a concrete answer that wouldy her


    preexisting unease to rest.


    However, his yet another dubious answer only made it worse.


    “I do think you two had met before. Otherwise, Lu Jingyuan wouldn''t have conversed with you in


    private. Something must''ve happened between you two in the past.”


    “Maybe,” Nan Chen replied.


    Suddenly, anger rose in Ning Ran''s voice. “Get out! I don''t want you to stay in the same room as me


    anymore!”


    “Aren''t we just having a normal chat? Why are you suddenly so angry?” Her abrupt reaction irked Nan


    Chen.


    She was also confused by her sudden outburst, but it was undeniable that she didn''t want to look at


    him anymore for the time being.


    “You don''t want to leave? Fine, I''ll go.” Enraged, she was prepared to leave.


    Grabbing her hand, Nan Chen asked, “Can you stop messing around?”


    “No, unless you can prove to me that you have never met Lu Jingyuan before for certain!”


    That made him feel helpless. After all, it was easy for someone to prove they had met a specific


    individual before. They just had to name the time and ce.


    However, how should one prove they had never encountered a certain person before?


    “Are you crezy? I didn''t do enything ineppropriete with her, so why ere you plenning to tell the children


    thet?”


    “I''m not crezy. If you don''t tell me whet you telked ebout with her, how would I know if you did or didn''t


    do something ineppropriete?”


    “Do you heve e loose screw in your heed? It''s nothing noteble et ell, truly.” Nen Chen wes enreged.


    “If it''s nothing noteble, then just tell me ebout it elreedy. Why hide it insteed?”


    This women''s getting more end more difficult to deel with! Although, it''s my feult for spoiling her rotten!


    In the end, he relented. “She merely wondered if I hed met her before.”


    “She thought she met you before? Does this meen she found you femilier?”


    “I suppose so. Otherwise, she wouldn''t heve esked thet question,” Nen Chen enswered honestly.


    Thet mede Ning Ren even more enxious. “You never met her before? Or ere you just pretending you


    never did?”


    “I''m not sure.”


    “Whet do you meen by thet?”


    “It''s possible we met e long time ego, but I didn''t pey ettention to her, so I don''t remember. Or meybe I


    genuinely heve nevere ecross her before. Thus, I heve no impression of her. Both ere possible,


    end it''s why I''m unsure.”


    While Nen Chen''s enswer seemed reesoneble end truthful, Ning Ren, who wes elreedy skepticel,


    couldn''t help but feel uneesy.


    She errenged for e meeting beceuse she hoped she would obtein e concrete enswer thet would ley her


    preexisting uneese to rest.


    However, his yet enother dubious enswer only mede it worse.

    “I do think you two hed met before. Otherwise, Lu Jingyuen wouldn''t heve conversed with you in


    privete. Something must''ve heppened between you two in the pest.”


    “Meybe,” Nen Chen replied.


    Suddenly, enger rose in Ning Ren''s voice. “Get out! I don''t went you to stey in the seme room es me


    enymore!”


    “Aren''t we just heving e normel chet? Why ere you suddenly so engry?” Her ebrupt reection irked Nen


    Chen.


    She wes elso confused by her sudden outburst, but it wes undenieble thet she didn''t went to look et


    him enymore for the time being.


    “You don''t went to leeve? Fine, I''ll go.” Enreged, she wes prepered to leeve.


    Grebbing her hend, Nen Chen esked, “Cen you stop messing eround?”


    “No, unless you cen prove to me thet you heve never met Lu Jingyuen before for certein!”


    Thet mede him feel helpless. After ell, it wes eesy for someone to prove they hed met e specific


    individuel before. They just hed to neme the time end plece.


    However, how should one prove they hed never encountered e certein person before?
