No one would enjoy being next to a crying woman. How annoying would that be?
Furthermore, when Ning Ran cried, it wasn’t like any other women. She wailed exaggeratedly.
When they reached town, it was already eleven thirty PM.
“Where are the kids?” Ning Ran asked Nan Chen.
“At home.”
“At home?”
“At their home.”
Ning Ran was creeped out by this reply. What did he mean at “their” home?
She was sure that there was some hidden meaning there.
“It’s already so late. I wonder if they are waiting for me.” Ning Ran said.
Nan Chen did not reply.
When they reached Cheng Xiangyun’s apartment, Nan Chen parked his car. “I have something to say to you.” He told Ning Ran.
“I have something to say to you too.” Ning Ran felt more at ease now that they had reached their destination.
However, to make sure Nan Chen was not able to drive off again, she wound down her windows.
Not feeling fully assured, she opened the car door too, so that there was no way Nan Chen could lock her in the car.
“Do you still call yourself a man? You ignored a woman’s car sickness, and left her out in the wilderness. Did you realize how despicable that was?” Ning Ran started raising her voice, as she recalled the events of the night.
Nan Chen was stunned.
He had wanted to get even with this woman, but her wails were too annoying, and he was not able to find a good opportunity to speak to her.
Now that they had reached their destination, he intended to leave after saying what he wanted to say. He didn’t expect that this woman would start first by saying all these.
How can she still feel so righteous when she is having an affair and neglecting the kids?!
“Judging by the way you look; I don’t think you have realized how despicable your behavior was. Are you very smug? Do you think everyone has to listen to you?”
“I used to think that you were at least better than your poker-faced brother. You were warmer and more compassionate. But you are both the same! Cold-blooded! Full of yourselves! Are you even human?!” As Ning Ran recalled more of what happened, she got madder.
Nan Chen never got into arguments with anyone. In fact, he had always been a man of few words.
He did not know how to react to Ning Ran’s continuous verbal attack.
He was used to his power and always got what he wanted without even lifting a finger. He never had to resort to verbal fights to get his way.
He wouldn’t waste a single ounce of additional energy saying anything unnecessary.
But when it came to this woman, he had only one sentence to say: Let’s not bring up the topic of you entering the Nan family ever again.
Even if no other woman was willing to marry into the Nan family, we would never accept someone who fooled around!
But Nan Chen did not seem to be able to express such a simple sentence.
Not only was Ning Ran good at acting, she was also topnotch in memorizing her lines and never stuttered.
As such, when she showed her prowess, Nan Chen did not stand a chance during their argument.
Blah blah blah.
Ning Ran was agitated and could not stop recounting the grievances caused by Nan Chen. This included her car sickness and him deserting her.
Not only that, he also refused to listen to her explanation and was bent on ruining her reputation.
She ended by saying, “I am not getting married anymore. You are free to marry whoever you want. I would rather become a nun than to marry you!”
Nan Chen couldn’t believe that this woman had just said the very thing he had waited so long to say. He was fuming mad.
How can she be the one to say it first! Now it seems like she is the one rejecting the Nan family instead of the other way round!
It makes a world of difference! It was supposed to be the Nan family rejecting her. A woman with loose morals like her has no right to reject the Nan Family.
Nan Xing would have been able to return her verbal attacks. But this man in white right now was Nan Chen. That was not something he was good at.
No matter how angry he was, he would never behave like a shrew in arguments.
He was livid. “Scram!” That was the only word he said.
“I am leaving right away! You scram too! Go somewhere far away. You are an ungentlemanly, ungracious, unsympathetic person born with a silver spoon! Other than money, you have nothing!”
After Ning Ran let it all out, she was afraid that Nan Chen would direct his anger towards her. So she hurried out and slammed the car door shut.
Vroom! The car engine squealed like a beast as Nan Chen drove off.
Judging by the speed of the car, one would immediately know how furious the driver was feeling.
Ning Ran suddenly realized that she had forgotten something important. The kids! The kids are still there!
She called Nan Xing immediately, but his phone was switched off.
Ning Ran froze. She was too engrossed in scolding Nan Chen that she forgot that the kids were still over at the Nan family’s house.
As she had just offended Nan Xing, she was sure that he wouldn’t let her have the kids back.
Impulsiveness was indeed the enemy of oneself. No matter how angry she was, Ning Ran knew that bringing the kids home should have been the priority.
Filled with regrets, she went home. Cheng Xiangyun was watching a variety show when she stepped in.
“You’re finally back! You look so exhausted. Did you just have a fierce battle with your first love?” Cheng Xiangyun teased.
It seemed like Cheng Xiangyun had quite a bit to drink. Before Ning Ran could reply, she continued talking. “Quick, fill me in with the juicy details! Did you and Feng Minsheng go to a hotel? Or did you drive to a secluded place?”
“We did go to a secluded area, but it was not with Feng Minsheng. I was tortured so much by that a**hole!” That got Ning Ran worked up again.
“What happened? You don’t seem right.”
“Where do I even start!” Ning Ran let out a cry and slumped into the sofa.
“What exactly happened? Was the date with your old flame not enjoyable?”
“I didn’t go on a date. Someone played a prank on me. Just leave me alone for a moment.” Ning Ran shooed Cheng Xiangyun away.
“Ok ok, I’ll go take a shower. You should also wash up and go to bed. You still have to work tomorrow.”
Just as Cheng Xiangyun was about to walk off, Ning Ran pulled her back. “Don’t go first, maybe you can tell me what I should do.”
“Didn’t you say you don’t want to talk about it? What do you want me to help you with?”
“What happened was, I offended Nan Xing badly just now. I scolded him.”
“Why did you scold him?”
“He saw me with Feng Minsheng, and he beat Feng Minsheng up. You know how he is always laughing and joking around usually, I didn’t know he could be so brutal in a fight. But never mind, that’s not the point. I wanted to tell you how much he tortured me afterwards. He drove at the speed of lightning, making me carsick. And then he left me at a deserted place!”
“Wow, that is so cool!” Cheng Xiangyun’s eyes widened.
“What?! Cool?! He tortured me and you called him cool?! Doesn’t it prick your conscience to say that?!” Ning Ran yelled.
