Chapter 899
Chapter 899 I Hate Everyone
At around ten o''clock at night, the guests gradually made their leave.
Feng Wan was no longer young and couldn''t stay upte like the younger generation to party until
midnight. She had to go to bed early, which made the guests too shy to stay back and continue
partying into thete hours of the night.
Nheless, she maintained a cheerful demeanor and continued conversing with her brother. Due to
her upbeat mood, everyone gathered around to keep herpany.
Ning Ran was exhausted after standing the whole day to wee the guests. She sat down in a
corner and began scrolling on her phone.
Right then, Nan Shikun went over and offered her a piece of cake.
Ning Ran didn''t feel like eating dessertste at night. Despite that, she smiled and epted the cake,
cing the te aside.
Nan Shikun sat across from Ning Ran, keeping a reasonable distance from her.
d in a ck suit, he appeared remarkably handsome and bore a striking resemnce to Nan Chen.
The Nan family possessed good genes. So far, Ning Ran had never encountered anyone unattractive
from their family.
“Ran, are you an actress?” Nan Shikun changed the topic.
“Yes, Uncle Shikun,” came Ning Ran''s answer.
“Have you starred in any movie before?”
“Yes, but my movie hasn''t been released yet.”
“Sure, if you ever get the chance, you should visit Hollywood,” Nan Shikun suggested. “It''s renowned
for its world-ss production studios and the well-developed film industry.”
Does Uncle Shikun think I''m a country bumpkin? I have traveled overseas before. Even if I hadn''t, I
would have heard of Hollywood. While it''s true that Hollywood has an advanced andprehensive
film production industry, not everyone gets the chance to develop their career there.
Nevertheless, she replied politely, “Okay.”
Nan Shikun continued, “I adore Dabao and Erbao, so I''ve prepared a present for them.”
Ning Ran''s curiosity grew. Why not give the children the present you''ve prepared in person to make
them happy?
“My present is too big to bring here, so the children will have to go and collect it themselves. When
you''re free, you can take them there to see it,” he exined.
“The present is in a foreign country?” Ning Ran was surprised. Did he just ask me to bring the kids
overseas to collect the present?
If he weren''t an elder, Ning Ran would''ve asked if he had lost his mind.
“Yes, the present is located in a foreign country, and it''s quiterge, so I couldn''t bring it back with me.
The present I''ve prepared is a fully furnished house for the children in that country. During their
holidays, you can bring them there to stay for an extended period and gain some valuable experience.
It could be like a vacation for all of you.”
Ning Ran could barely hide her surprise. Uncle Shikun is such a generous man. I can''t believe he''s
giving us a house! Buying a property in a foreign country should be pretty costly.
“The house is located near Hollywood, so during the holidays, you should definitely take the children
there. Who knows, you might get lucky and find some opportunities.”
Ning Ran''s lips curled into a smile. “You''re too generous, Uncle Shikun. The kids are still young, so you
don''t have to go to such lengths for them. I''m sure many people in the film industry would love to visit
Hollywood. If I have the chance, I would love to go there myself.”
Ning Ran had actually visited Hollywood before. Back when she first left the country, she traveled to a
few ces with her savings on a budget, one of them being Hollywood.
“I''ve already prepared it, so please ept my present for the kids,” Nan Shikun insisted.
It was too expensive a gift, so Ning Ran couldn''t keep rejecting him. She decided to discuss the matter
with Nan Chen.
Uncle Shikun means well. If Nan Chen wants to ept it, but I rejected it on the kids'' behalf, that would
be embarrassing. By the way, why didn''t he tell Nan Chen about the present? Why did hee to me
instead?
“Uncle Shikun, let''s talk about this another day. Thanks for your generosity. The children have school
tomorrow, so I''ll have to bring them back home now.”
Nan Shikun rose to his feet. “Okay, I''ll arrange for someone to clean up the ce so that you can have
afortable stay during the holidays,”
Perhaps he assumed that most people wouldn''t reject getting a house as a present.
Ning Ran was about to leave when Nan Shiren showed up. Despite feeling awkward, she had to stay
back and socialize with him.

Nan Chen was worn out from his duties of weing and socializing with the guests, leaving him with
no time to rest.
To him, socializing was more difficult than working because he wasn''t fond of socializing, to begin with.
However, given his current status, socializing was an inevitable part of his job that he couldn''t avoid.
With most of the guests gone, Nan Chen was looking forward to taking a break and enjoying a cup of
coffee. However, before he could do so, a stunning woman came over to him. It was Luo Zhiyi, who
was still lingering around the party.
“It seems like you still have the habit of drinking coffee at night after all these years. You haven''t
changed,” shemented.
Nan Chen responded, “That''s right, it''s a habit I can''t shake off, and I don''t really want to.”
“You''re strange. You''re the only person I know who can drink coffee at night and still sleep well.”
Nan Chen nodded in agreement. “I''ve never met anyone like me, too.”
“Does your wife, who is an actress, brew coffee for you?” Luo Zhiyi eventually brought up this topic.
Nan Chen didn''t really want to talk about Ning Ran because he disliked talking about her with others.
No matter what, he didn''t think that Ning Ran should be a topic of their conversation, no matter in a
positive or negative light.
He believed that Ning Ran should not be a topic of conversation. Additionally, Nan Chen disliked it
when people talked about him behind his back.
He didn''t feel like talking and merely gave a curt nod.
“She knows how to brew coffee?” However, Luo Zhiyi seemed interested in this topic.
“Yes,” came Nan Chen''s reply.
“Does she make good coffee?”
“Yes.”
Luo Zhiyi said nothing but chuckled aloud.
Her chuckle sounded strange, not quite mocking, but with obvious disapproval.
“I''ve heard that you were forced to be with her because she got pregnant with your kids. You must
regret not being more cautious. I''ve always thought of you as a sensible person, so I''m quite surprised
you made such a mistake,” Luo Zhiyi continued talking about Ning Ran, finding the topic too interesting
to stop.
“I don''t regret anything, and I don''t think that was a mistake. It might be an ident, but it was a
beautiful ident,” Nan Chen said firmly.
He didn''t like to talk, but Luo Zhiyi forced him to speak much more than usual, as he knew he had to
exin himself.
It wasn''t Ning Ran who forced him to be with her. In fact, Ning Ran had never forced him to do anything
against his wishes.
Although she asionally behaved inappropriately, she had never resorted to using the children as a
means of coercion toward him.
On the contrary, Nan Chen had used the custody of their kids as a means of threatening Ning Ran
countless times because he knew it was her weak point.
“A beautiful ident?” Luo Zhiyi chuckled.
“Daddy, what are you doing here?” Erbao showed up and tried to climb up Nan Chen''s legs.
Nan Chen picked her up. “This is Ms. Luo.”
“Hello, Ms. Luo,” Erbao greeted obediently.
“Ah, you''re a good kid. Look how pretty you are!” Luo Zhiyi praised.
She reached out to pat Erbao''s cheek, but the little girl giggled and dodged out of her reach.
I don''t like thisdy who talked to Daddy alone. Dabao told me that Mommy got mad as someone took
a photo of thisdy and Daddy at the hotel. I hate everyone who makes Mommy upset!
