The second day of the filming was surprisingly smooth.
Ning Ran was constantly on high alert against any tricks that Zhao Mingjie and Luo Fei might attempt to pull on her.
To her surprise, neither of them made any moves towards her. They just did their part in filming normally.
What surprised her even more was when the director told her that more scenes have been added on top of her existing ones. That way, she had become the de facto female lead instead.
However, the director did not tell her that this was actually Nan Chen’s decision.
After she finished work, Cheng Xiangyun drove her home as usual.
Neither of them realized that a man in a helmet had been tailing them on his bike the whole time.
When they got home, they saw that Erbao had turned the living room upside down, while Dabao was researching about computers alone in the study as always.
Ning Ran got a little angry, “Erbao, why did you mess up Aunt Xiang’s house like this? Didn’t you promise mommy to be a good girl?”
“Mommy, I did all this on purpose.” Erbao said as she looked at Ning Ran with her shiny eyes.
Ning Ran got angrier, “Doing it on purpose? Why you little……”
Cheng Xiangyun quickly stopped her, “It’s fine! It’s just a little messy. I’ll just tidy it up later, so don’t be too hard on the kids.”
“I was home with big brother, but he was doing research on computers all day. I got too bored, so I purposely made a mess to clean it up later. That way, I would have something to do.”
“I just haven’t finished tidying up this time when mommy came home, so that’s why it looks messy.”
Ning Ran felt bad for leaving them at home like that. They must’ve been bored out of their minds.
“Aunt Xiang has contacted the school, so we should be hearing from them soon. Once that’s done, you can go to school! That way, you won’t be so bored anymore!”
As Ning Ran comforted Erbao, Dabao came out and dragged Erbao into the study.
The siblings have always kept many little secrets amongst themselves, and Ning Ran couldn’t be bothered to care about that.
Erbao was dragged into the study by Dabao who closed the door behind him.
They then climbed onto a chair and looked at the computer screen. There was a photo that Dabao had found on the Internet.
The man in the photo was sitting on a sofa, dressed in black and staring into the camera with a cold gaze. He gave off a dominant aura.
When Erbao saw the man, she subconsciously stroked her face. Then, she turned to look at her brother’s face.
“He looks just like us!” Erbao exclaimed in shock.
Dabao nodded his head.
“Who is he?” “Is he our daddy?” Dabao almost fell off the chair from excitement.
Dabao shook his head and pointed at the news headline that says, “The huge ambitions of Nan Chen, the king of Flower City”.
Erbao read the words one by one, “Flower City’s Wang Nan……” (The headline could also be misinterpreted as “Wang Nanchen of Flower City and his huge ambitions”, hence Erbao’s misunderstanding.)
She stopped at “Chen” as she didn’t know how to read that word.
They had been living abroad up till now, and could speak Mandarin fairly well. However, there were still many words that they couldn’t read, as they were still young kids after all.
“Chen.” Dabao taught his sister the pronunciation.
“So his name is Wang Nanchen?” “But our surname is Ning, so he’s not our daddy.” Erbao said disappointedly.
“No, his name should be Nan Chen. The King Of Flower City is just a title they gave him.” Dabao frowned as he analyzed it.
“His surname still isn’t Ning though, so he still isn’t our daddy.”
Dabao frowned again. He felt that there was a problem with his sister’s analysis.
But he couldn’t quite put a finger on what it was, exactly.
After a brief moment of disappointment, Erbao’s eyes lit up again, “I’ve got an idea!”
Dabao looked at his sister, and gestured her to continue.
“He may not be our daddy, but we can introduce him to mommy to be her boyfriend!” “He looks like us, so mommy will like him for sure!”
Dabao’s frown deepened further, “You know the man?”
Erbao shook her head innocently.
“Then how do we introduce him to mommy?” Dabao asked.
Erbao was stumped too. That’s right, we don’t even know him, so how could we introduce him to mommy to be her boyfriend?
