Chapter 690


    Ning Ran returned to the inn, only to find that Nan Xing was also back.


    Nan Xing had been keeping himself busy after he came to Livingsfill. He drove to the surrounding cities


    and had fun at each ce. Finally, he officially returned to Livingsfill that day.


    Livingsfill had insanely beautiful views, but it was just a small border town. Nan Xing, who had been


    used to the vibrant and lively city life, still felt that this ce was a bit too deserted. Therefore, he was


    ready to go back.


    Before he left, he had something to ask Ning Ran.


    After acting solicitously and asking her about things like whether she was tired from filming, he finally


    went straight to the point.


    “I heard you have formed a close bond with someone called Lu Jingyuan in Livingsfill.”


    “Did Qiao Zhan tell you that?”


    “Yeah, I was told that she''s stunning,” Nan Xing replied with a smile.


    “Yes. If she weren''t beautiful, Nan Chen wouldn''t have secretly made a move on her,” Ning Ran


    mindlessly let it slip.


    “What? My brother made a move on her?”


    Nan Xing''s eyes lit up. Excitement instantly crept up on him. He couldn''t believe that he had missed


    such a huge gossip.


    Ning Ran was furious upon seeing Nan Xing''s reaction.


    “Why are you so excited? You don''t condemn his actions even after learning that he has hooked up


    with my friend? Indeed, birds of a feather flock together,” Ning Ran scolded.


    In truth, Nan Xing didn''t mean to react that way. He just found the matter interesting.


    Nan Chen was renowned for living a chaste life in Flower City. He had ignored countless women that


    offered themselves to him. Thus, Nan Xing found it hard to believe that Nan Chen would take the


    initiative to hit on a woman.


    It was like seeing pigs fly, which was why Nan Xing found it enthralling.


    However, upon hearing Ning Ran''s words, he immediately realized that he had lost his cool.


    He shouldn''t have responded that way in such a situation.


    “I''m sorry. I didn''t mean that. I was just curious as to why my brother would do things like that!”


    “So, are you implying that I''m using him?”


    Nan Xing pretended to huff angrily, “No, that''s not what I mean. If my brother has done such a thing, I


    won''t let him off. This is something that I can do, but he can''t.”


    “Then why are you defending him?”


    “I''m not defending him. I just feel sorry for him. He is ruining his reputation. That said, he is still


    young...”


    When he saw Ning Ran shooting a re in his direction, Nan Xing immediately shut his mouth.


    I don''t think it''s right to say that, but how should I react? And what should I say?


    “Anyways, I don''t approve of his actions, and he has crossed the line. This is simply horrible!


    Furthermore, that woman is super fierce, so it''s not even worth it for him to do that.”


    Unsettled, Nan Xing mindlessly blurted those words out.


    “How did you know that she was fierce?”


    Ning Ran was smart. Naturally, she wouldn''t miss out on such important information.


    Nan Xing covered his mouth. The urge to send two ps to his face seized him.


    “Do you think you can keep silent by covering your mouth?” Ning Ran roared.


    Nan Xing had no choice but to remove the hand covering his mouth, looking at Ning Ran innocently.


    “Stop acting pitiful in front of me. Spill it! How did you know that she was fierce?” Ning Ran asked.


    “When I came over the other day, the kids were catnapping. Then, I saw a beautiful woman lying there


    napping...”

    At that, Nan Xing went silent.


    “Then, what happened next?”


    “That''s it.” Nan Xing shrugged.


    “That''s it? How''s that possible? Oh, so you saw a beautiful woman taking a nap, and that was all?”


    “Uh...”


    Nan Xing didn''t want to talk about it as the next scene was him being doused with water.


    How could he talk about such an embarrassing moment?


    After all, he made a name for himself as a well-known yboy in Flower City, yet he got turned down in


    Livingsfill. Consequently, he didn''t want others to know about it.


    No matter how Ning Ran pressed him to borate, Nan Xing still couldn''t bring himself to tell her.


    “You refuse to tell me the whole truth, right? Fine, let me help you jog your memory.”


    Taking a sip of tea, Ning Ran adjusted her sitting posture and began to solve the case.


    “Considering your character, I doubt you could have refrained from chatting up a woman when you saw


    one.”


    Nan Xing blinked innocently, saying nothing.


    “Okay! So, you did talk to her. I suppose you had asked her for her name and whether she had a


    boyfriend whileplimenting her, right?”


    Her words startled Nan Xing.


    Wow, she is narrating what happened that day down to thest detail. How did she guess it correctly?


    Could it be that Lu Jingyuan told her so? If that''s the case, that''s so embarrassing.


    “Am I such a shallow person?” Nan Xing replied with a sullen face.


    “Are you not? Don''t yboys act that way upon seeing pretty women?” Ning Ran responded with


    disdain.


    “Naturally, everyone has an affection for beauty, but I''m not as lecherous as you think I am.” Nan Xing


    felt immensely awkward.


    “And then? Lu Jingyuan ignored you, but you kept hitting on her shamelessly...”


    “I didn''t! I did ask for her name and whether she had a boyfriend, but I didn''t pester her shamelessly!”


    Nan Xing shouted.


    “You did! Did youpliment her on her beauty?” Ning Ran probed.


    “Yes, I did do that,” Nan Xing admitted to it.


    Ning Ran abruptly smacked her forehead. “D*mn it! So, that''s what happened then!”


    Silly me! Why didn''t I think that the person who hit on Lu Jingyuan was Nan Xing? Lu Jingyuan has no


    idea who this man is, but I should have guessed it. There is no way a haughty man like Nan Chen


    would hit on a woman shamelessly.


    “What''s wrong?” Nan Xing could tell that something was not right with Ning Ran.


    This time, it was Ning Ran''s turn to stay silent. It was too embarrassing—she couldn''t let Nan Xing


    know about it.


    I mocked him earlier. If he learned about the truth, he would surely make fun of me in return.


    “Nothing. You can continue.” Ning Ran pretended as if nothing had happened.


    “Wait a minute! Something is not right with you. You just don''t want to say it.” Nan Xing was unwilling to


    give up.


    “I''m fine. Don''t overthink it.” Ning Ran continued to pretend that nothing was wrong.


    “All right, then. I''m d to hear that you''re okay. Anyways, I didn''t flirt with Lu Jingyuan. On the


    contrary, she was mean to me.”


    “Is that why you said that she was fierce? She doesn''t know you. Isn''t it normal for her to be hostile


    toward you? Are you expecting her to treat you affectionately on your first meeting? You must have


    overthought it, no?” Ning Ran remarked with a look of disgust on her face.


    “Even so, she can''t just dump water on me!” Nan Xing yelled.


    “What? You were sshed with water? Hahaha...” Ning Ran burst intoughter.


    Seeing Ning Ranughing, Nan Xing was furious.


    It was simr to when Ning Ran was infuriated upon seeing himughing a moment ago.


    “Ning Ran, we are family. Is it right to feel happy after learning I was sshed with water?” Nan Xing


    looked rather aggrieved.


    Ning Ran immediately withdrew her smile. “I''m notughing at you. I just feel sorry for you.”


    “Enough of that. Isughing out loud your way of expressing sympathy for me?” Nan Xing looked hurt.


    “Hey, you''re a man! Why are you being so particr? Besides, the one who flirted with Lu Jingyuan


    was you, right?”


    “I didn''t flirt with her!” Nan Xing denied it again.


    “Okay, you didn''t flirt with her, but you struck up a conversation with her, right?”


    “Yes.”


    “All right! I''m done.” With that, Ning Ran rose to her feet.


    Nan Xing stared at her nkly. “That''s it? I mean... Could you tell your friend that I''m not that kind of


    person?”


    “Then what kind of person are you?” Ning Ran countered.


    “Well, at the very least, I''m not lecherous, and I won''t take advantage of someone. I''m actually a


    mature person, and I only talked to her because I have a soft spot for beauty...”


    “I got it. I will ry this message to her.”
