Chapter 951
Chapter 951 Children Can Be Sensitive Too
The following afternoon, Ning Ran returned to Flower City.
She disguised herself with a hat, mask, and sunsses, patiently waiting inside the car for
approximately thirty minutes until the kids finished their sses.
Despite that, she hesitated to step out of the vehicle. After instructing the bodyguards to pick up the
kids in their car, she drove a short distance before stopping the car to transfer the children into her
vehicle.
“Mommy, I have something to tell you...” Erbao excitedly dered the moment she got into Ning Ran''s
car.
However, she was cut short by Dabao''s cough.
The little girl let out an awkward giggle. “Well, it''s nothing.”
Ning Ran nced at Dabao. “Why won''t you let your sister speak? How dare you threaten her in front
of me?”
Dabao seemed conflicted. “I''m sorry, Mommy. We promised Daddy to keep it a secret from you.”
Ning Ran nodded in understanding. “You made the right decision. Keeping your promise is important,
so there''s no need for you to tell me about it.”
However, Erbao was having trouble keeping the secret. “Mommy, do girls have to keep promises, too?”
Ning Ran suppressed a smile. “Of course. I already know about Daddy''s secret matter, though. If you
were to tell me, it wouldn''t be breaking your promise because it''s not a secret to me anymore. If that''s
the case, you won''t have to keep it in anymore, right?”
Erbao grew eager. “Oh, that''s right. Does that mean I can say it now?”
Dabao shook his head. She really can''t keep a secret, can she? In the future, I can''t tell her any secrets
as she''ll definitely expose them!
However, Erbao remained silent and cast a nce at her brother, waiting for his cue to determine
whether she could disclose the truth.
Dabao waved his hand in exasperation. “Say it if you want. Mommy has already guessed it, anyway.”
“Mommy, did you really figure it out? Do you like the ring? I love it so much! When I grow up, I want a
ring like that too!”
Ning Ran seemed confused. Ring? What ring?
N?velDrama.Org holds ? this.
She had assumed Erbao was talking about Nan Chen retorting theizens online using his personal
ount. That was why she told the kids she knew their secret.
Nevertheless, she knew nothing about a ring.
Dabao immediately realized something was wrong. Mommy doesn''t seem like she knows about it. Oh,
no! Erbao revealed Daddy''s secret!
“Oh, yes. You''re talking about the ring Daddy bought for me, right? I do love it,” Ning Ran said,
deliberately faking a smile.
Even though Ning Ran had no clue what Erbao was referring to, she had to maintain herposure
and y along. She didn''t want Erbao to feel guilty or think that she had identally revealed a secret.
“Yes, it''s so pretty. But I heard that it''ll take a month to make it. That''s too long! When the ring is here,
are you and Daddy going to get married? Does that mean you''re going to get registered in our
household registry, Mommy?” Erbao asked eagerly.
Erbao disyed her thoughtfulness as she brought up the matter of the household registry.
It was true that both Dabao and Erbao were registered under Nan Chen''s name, while Ning Ran was
not.
Erbao couldn''t shake off the nagging feeling that her mother was somewhat separated from her, given
the difference in their household registration.
After listening to Erbao''s words, Ning Ran deduced that Nan Chen had ced an order for a ring on
her behalf.
The order had been ced, but the ring was still in the process of being made. Erbao must have seen
a picture of the ring and found it beautiful.
Ning Ran''s mind raced with various possibilities as she tried to decipher the situation. She couldn''t
fathom why Nan Chen would order a ring without informing her.
Could it be that he initially intended it for someone else but got caught by Erbao and Dabao, leading
him to y along and say it''s for me? But who could it possibly be for? Luo Zhiyi? That seems unlikely.
Something doesn''t add up, but deep down, I trust Nan Chen and believe he wouldn''t do something like
that. If the ring is indeed for me, then is Nan Chen nning a surprise for me? Could he be considering
a proposal? That is too big a surprise!
Dabao was a smart boy. As he observed Ning Ran''s changing expressions and theplicated look
on her face, he seemed to realize something. “Mommy, you don''t actually know about this, do you? The
secret you mentioned earlier is something entirely different, isn''t it?”
Ning Ran shed a smile. “I know about this, but I wasn''t sure. I thought your daddy was joking.”
Dabao contemted for a moment before he made a suggestion. “Can you pretend not to know
anything? If Daddy wants to surprise you, let''s keep it mysterious, okay? It will make the surprise even
more exciting.”
His suggestion was reasonable, so Ning Ran agreed readily. “Sure, I''ll do that.”
Initially, Ning Ran had nned to go to a nearby supermarket to buy some ingredients for dinner.
However, Dabao quickly reminded her of her poprity and the potential of people taking photos of her
in public.
“Daddy said you can ask the nanny to get the ingredients you need,” Dabao said.
Ning Ran sighed out loud. You win some and you lose some, huh?
Celebrities often yearned for poprity, but as Ning Ran reflected on her own fame, she realized that it
came at a cost. The simple joys of everyday life, such as personally buying ingredients at the
supermarket to prepare dinner for her children, were now beyond her reach.
She couldn''t help but feel a sense of frustration at the limitations imposed by her celebrity status.
Resigned to the circumstances, Ning Ran dialed the nanny''s number and provided her with a detailed
list of ingredients to purchase from the supermarket.
That night, Nan Chen returned earlier than usual. Ning Ran was still busy preparing dinner when he
arrived.
After changing his clothes, he went to his study room, probably still busy with work. Ning Ran had to
shout for him a few times before he came out to join them for dinner.
As Ning Ran observed his serious demeanor, memories of his clever retorts to theizens''ments
flooded her mind, causing a yful smirk to form on her lips.
Nan Chen couldn''t help but notice her frequent nces and the subtle smile ying on her face. He
was perplexed.
In the end, he couldn''t take it anymore. “If you have something to say, just say it. Stop smiling like a
fool.”
Ning Ran put on a stern expression and turned to Erbao. “Am I smiling?”
Erbao observed her carefully. “No!”
“Look, she said I''m not smiling. When did you see me smiling?”
Nan Chen wasn''t about to continue this pointless topic. “Are you sure you don''t have anything to tell
me?”
“Oh, yes. I met Ouyang Qist night!”
It was a casual question from Nan Chen, as he didn''t expect any response from her. Little did he
anticipate that Ning Ran would unveil something of such gravity. His surprise was evident as he asked,
“Ouyang Qi? How did you meet him?”
“ording to him, he had made multiple attempts to meet with you, but due to your busy schedule and
unanswered calls, he was unable to do so. Hence, he sought me out to discuss a matter of
importance.”
Anger red within Nan Chen. Did he go to her as I refused to meet him? Never mind if he went to talk
to her. Why did they meet up at night? Was he sure she''d help him as they were close to each other?
Observing Nan Chen''s dark expression, Ning Ran couldn''t help but wonder if she had inadvertently
said something that had upset him.
However, she couldn''t pinpoint what exactly she had said to elicit such a reaction.
Realization dawned, and she hastily interjected, “By the way, Cheng Xiangyun was also present during
our meeting.”
That piece of extra information was indeed important as Nan Chen promptly rxed.
Erbao eyed him before turning to Ning Ran. “Is Daddy jealous again?”
Nan Chen was speechless.
What does that mean? Jealous again? Do I often get jealous? It''s great to have smart kids, but why do
they keep targeting me? Can''t they target their mommy instead?
