Chapter 875


    Chapter 875 See No Evil


    The answer was very characteristic of Nan Chen.


    But even though he said that, Ning Ran knew there was no way he was totally unaffected and


    unpressured by these issues.


    As he was in an important position, he inevitably had to consider more people''s thoughts and feelings.


    While it seemed as if Nan Chen never listened to anyone and always went his own way, he couldn''t


    actually do everything he wanted. The more power he held, the heavier his responsibility was. Every


    decision of his could impact the tens of thousands of employees of Nanshi Corporation, so he couldn''t


    possibly act recklessly.


    For someone like Nan Chen, acting recklessly meant forcing others to do what he believed was right


    and punishing them if they refused toply.


    A CEO''s domineeringness was established on the basis of rational, objective thinking and superb


    capabilities. Otherwise, they wouldn''t be called domineering, but foolishly stubborn.


    Of course, Nan Chen also had an irrational and biased side to him when he was with Ning Ran. He


    was human, after all.


    Ning Ran and Nan Chen began to stretch. She watched thetter bend down and ce his hands


    against the floor with ease, flexibly folding his tall and slender body in half.


    “Should I go exin to Grandpa?” Ning Ran asked, turning to face the man.


    “How do you n to exin to him?” questioned Nan Chen in return.


    Ning Ran wasn''t quite sure about that yet. She gave it a thought before voicing, “I''ll tell Grandpa that


    this is my issue and that it has nothing to do with you.”


    Right after she said that, she found the statement inappropriate. It sounded unconvincing even to


    herself.


    Nan Chen also thought the same. “I think you''d better not tell Grandpa that. You''ll just add fuel to the


    fire.”


    His words made sense to Ning Ran. She groaned, “But I can''t think of any other better way. There''s no


    way I''ll back out now. I can''t ept it.”


    Nan Chen could understand that. Ning Ran was utterly hardworking and sacrificed a lot for her career.


    It was impossible for her to back out so easily now that she had just begun to see some results.


    It wasmon for humans to feel the need to realize their self-worth; only a good-for-nothing would


    want to rely on others all the time. Naturally, Nan Chen did not want Ning Ran to be an ipetent


    person who would only depend on other people.


    That was why he always supported her firmly despite the immense pressure he was facing.


    Nan Chen did not want to discourage Ning Ran. For him, every motivated person deserved respect.


    “Don''t worry. No one will ask you to back out, and no one can pressure me using your issue. Even if


    they do, I can take it. Just go ahead and do what you want.”


    Nan Chen''s words touched Ning Ran deeply. She turned around, wrapping her arms around his neck.


    As they were both sweaty from the jog, the atmosphere turned somehow ambiguous when they


    embraced each other.


    The orange blossom scent from Ning Ran''s soft and feminine body was richer than usual because of


    her increased body heat, and Nan Chen couldn''t resist inhaling deeply. The next moment, he leaned


    down and closed the distance between them.


    Before Ning Ran could even react, Nan Chen''s lips were already on hers.


    Soon, she got carried away by the wonderful feeling and held him closer.


    Just as they indulged themselves in the sweet moment, a yelp sounded behind them. “Oh my! Daddy


    and Mommy are kissing...”


    Dabao hurriedly covered Erbao''s eyes. “See no evil!”


    One of the downsides to the inte age was that even little kids had ess to all kinds of information,


    to the extent that they even knew what kissing was.


    Ning Ran hastily let go and pushed Nan Chen away, her face as red as a tomato.


    It''s all his fault. Why did he kiss me now?


    “Mommy, you guys should carry on with what you were doing. I''ll bring Erbao back home,” suggested


    Dabao a bit stiffly.


    He was usually a calm andposed kid, but the sudden incident caught him off guard. Because of


    what he said, Ning Ran felt even more awkward.


    “Uh... It''s not what you think...” Ning Ran managed with a pale face.


    “We came out to jog, and we ended up...” Nan Chen also made an attempt to exin, but he soon


    realized it was impossible to do so. It would just seem like they were trying to deceive themselves.


    The two shared a look and decided there was no point in exining anymore when things hade to


    this point.


    “Mommy, I want to jog, too,” chirped Erbao at that moment, wanting to join in the fun.


    “You''re too young to jog. Go have your breakfast and prepare for school,” Ning Ran responded with a


    smile.


    “Who says kids can''t jog?” Erbao retorted. She turned to Dabao, whom she trusted more, and


    questioned, “Dabao, can kids jog?”


    “Well, I don''t think there''s a rule prohibiting that, but we should go home first. Let us not disturb Daddy


    and Mommy,” Dabao coaxed while taking her hand to lead her away.


    “We''re also done jogging. Let''s go back together.” Tidying her hair, Ning Ran let out an exhale and


    walked over to hold Dabao''s and Erbao''s hands before walking toward the vi.


    By the time they took their showers and changed into fresh clothes, breakfast was ready.


    Despite countless reminders from Nan Chen and Ning Ran, Dabao stayed on the couch and scrolled


    through his phone.


    Finally, Nan Chen stood up and chided, “Dabao, are you also addicted to the inte like other kids


    now? Is it that hard to put your phone down?”


    Property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    His voice prompted Dabao to look up at him. The boy immediately set his phone down, apologizing,


    “I''m sorry, Daddy. I was reading news about Mommy.”


    As they were both sweoty from the jog, the otmosphere turned somehow ombiguous when they


    embroced eoch other.


    The oronge blossom scent from Ning Ron''s soft ond feminine body wos richer thon usuol becouse of


    her increosed body heot, ond Non Chen couldn''t resist inholing deeply. The next moment, he leoned


    down ond closed the distonce between them.


    Before Ning Ron could even reoct, Non Chen''s lips were olreody on hers.


    Soon, she got corried owoy by the wonderful feeling ond held him closer.


    Just os they indulged themselves in the sweet moment, o yelp sounded behind them. “Oh my! Doddy


    ond Mommy ore kissing...”


    Doboo hurriedly covered Erboo''s eyes. “See no evil!”


    One of the downsides to the inte oge wos thot even little kids hod ess to oll kinds of informotion,


    to the extent thot they even knew whot kissing wos.


    Ning Ron hostily let go ond pushed Non Chen owoy, her foce os red os o tomoto.


    It''s oll his foult. Why did he kiss me now?


    “Mommy, you guys should corry on with whot you were doing. I''ll bring Erboo bock home,” suggested


    Doboo o bit stiffly.


    He wos usuolly o colm ondposed kid, but the sudden incident cought him off guord. Becouse of


    whot he soid, Ning Ron felt even more owkword.


    “Uh... It''s not whot you think...” Ning Ron monoged with o pole foce.


    “Wee out to jog, ond we ended up...” Non Chen olso mode on ottempt to exploin, but he soon


    reolized it wos impossible to do so. It would just seem like they were trying to deceive themselves.


    The two shored o look ond decided there wos no point in exploining onymore when things hode to


    this point.


    “Mommy, I wont to jog, too,” chirped Erboo ot thot moment, wonting to join in the fun.


    “You''re too young to jog. Go hove your breokfost ond prepore for school,” Ning Ron responded with o


    smile.


    “Who soys kids con''t jog?” Erboo retorted. She turned to Doboo, whom she trusted more, ond


    questioned, “Doboo, con kids jog?”


    “Well, I don''t think there''s o rule prohibiting thot, but we should go home first. Let us not disturb Doddy


    ond Mommy,” Doboo cooxed while toking her hond to leod her owoy.


    “We''re olso done jogging. Let''s go bock together.” Tidying her hoir, Ning Ron let out on exhole ond


    wolked over to hold Doboo''s ond Erboo''s honds before wolking toword the villo.


    By the time they took their showers ond chonged into fresh clothes, breokfost wos reody.


    Despite countless reminders from Non Chen ond Ning Ron, Doboo stoyed on the couch ond scrolled


    through his phone.


    Finolly, Non Chen stood up ond chided, “Doboo, ore you olso oddicted to the inte like other kids


    now? Is it thot hord to put your phone down?”


    His voice prompted Doboo to look up ot him. The boy immediotely set his phone down, opologizing,


    “I''m sorry, Doddy. I wos reoding news obout Mommy.”


    “Are people insulting her again? You should stop reading those things. Those people are being


    unreasonable, and it isn''t right for them to insult Mommy. Ignore them, okay? Remember, it''s always


    wrong to insult someone. That''s an unsophisticated thing to do.”


    Even Nan Chen would feel frustrated whenever he read the criticisms directed toward Ning Ran on the


    inte, so he could imagine how much pressure the issue at hand was causing the children.


    However, it wasn''t reasonable for them to ban Dabao from using the inte as the boy was so


    sensible. Considering how brilliant he was, he''d always have a way to obtain information circting


    around the inte.


    Nan Chen could onlyfort Dabao in hopes of lifting some pressure off thetter.


    “Daddy, there aren''t many people insulting Mommy now. Most of them areplimenting her today.


    She''s even on the trending topics.” Dabao handed his phone to Nan Chen.


    Nan Chen took the phone and checked it. Indeed, Ning Ran was among the top ten trending topics.


    This time, it was not because of gossip. Shi Jie''s agency posted a behind-the-scenes clip of Ning Ran


    and Shi Jie filming the music video.


    In the clip, Ning Ran was wearing a basic, loose white dress shirt and little makeup. She was just


    standing there, yet despite her simple styling, she looked unreasonably beautiful. Even Nan Chen


    could not tear his gaze away from her.


    He had to admit he had never seen any other woman looking so stunning in a white shirt.


    Once the screenshot was uploaded to the inte, it instantly blew up.


    Shi Jie''s fans, who used to call Ning Ran a bored crone trying to rob the cradle, scrapped that


    nickname overnight and hailed her “everyone''s dream teacher.”


    The new nickname was inspired by Ning Ran''s role as a teacher in the music video. As Shi Jie''s fans


    were so immersed in the story, they really saw Ning Ran as a teacher and gave her that title.


    This was amon urrence in the entertainment industry. In fact, a lot of actors who yed viins


    in popr shows often ended up being attacked by fans who were too deep into the show. Some


    foolish and irrational fans would even curse at those actors'' families.


    Thankfully, Ning Ran yed a teacher this time, earning her the support of Shi Jie''s fans.


    Ning Ran got Dabao''s phone and looked at herself in the clip, but she was unsatisfied with the way she


    looked. She found her standing posture to be too serious and a bitcking in liveliness.


    “I could look better than this,” she remarked.


    Hearing that, Nan Chen and Dabao exchanged nces and wondered if she was being smug.
