In the meantime, Ning Ran and her family were happily enjoying hot pot in a villa in Red Maple City. A harmonious
and blissful atmosphere filled the air.
Erbao could not even be bothered to speak. Instead, she just held her head low and kept stuffing the food in her
mouth.
Seeing that, Ning Ran would remind her to slow down from time to time.
“It's fine, Mommy. That's her usual speed. It's not a problem,” said Dabao.
“Is the hotpot I made delicious?” Nan Chen asked the two children, feeling pleased with his cooking.
“It's yummy!” Dabao nodded approvingly.
Ning Ran was baffled when she heard Nan Chen's question. Since when did you make this? I made everything from
scratch. And now you're taking credit for my hard work?
“Good girl. Your mommy put in a lot of work, too. We made this together and made sure to do everything
perfectly,” Nan Chen stated.
Ning Ran merely glanced at him. She could not be bothered to entertain him.
I'm obviously the mastermind while he's the assistant. And now he's pretending to be the person who did all the
hard work and even giving me some credit.
“Oh, no, no. It's all your hard work. You made it wonderfully. It's impressive,” Ning Ran remarked with a mocking
smile.
Nan Chen sensed the sarcasm in her smile. Yet, he ignored it. “Oh, you flatter me too much.”
Erbao, who seemed to be focused on her food, suddenly chimed, “This obviously tastes like Mommy's cooking.”
Truth was, she could not bear to listen to the conversation anymore.
Hearing that, Ning Ran flashed a smug smile at Nan Chen. Do you hear that? My little girl is a discerning person.
Nan Chen turned to look at Erbao. “Why would you say that?”
Sensing her father's eyes on her, Erbao felt nervous, and she turned to her brother for support.
“Erbao is used to Mommy's hotpot. Naturally, she can identify whose cooking it is,” Dabao explained nonchalantly.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“That's right!” Erbao nodded profusely.
“Well, I just wanted to test if you two can identify whose cooking it is. That's why I said those words. I like the hotpot
Mommy makes, too. Let's get her to make that for us every day in the future, okay?” Nan Chen asked.
These children really do support you. Fine. Since you're the genius in making hotpot, then you should make it every
day.
“Mr. Chen, you'll fall ill from having too much hotpot. If you'd like to eat it every day, I can prepare it for you, but
not for the children. I don't want them to have swollen lips,” Ning Ran refuted emotionlessly.
“Hotpot is not the only thing Mommy knows how to make. She makes other delicious dishes too!” Erbao piped in
hurriedly.
“Exactly,” Dabao agreed.
“If you want to eat Mommy's cooking every day, then you have to take some action.” Erbao put down her utensils,
looking as if she wanted to discuss something serious.
“What actions?” Nan Chen was puzzled.
“You've got to get married to Mommy. That way, you'll get to enjoy her cooking every day. If you don't, she'll get
married and cook for someone else. Then, you won't get to eat it anymore.” Erbao's logic was a little exaggerated,
but it made complete sense.
Nan Chen eyed Ning Ran. “Who are you getting married to? And who are you going to cook for?”
“I wasn't the one who said that. What are you asking me for? She's just a kid who's speaking her mind,” Ning Ran
replied with contempt.
“Did you teach her to say that? Are you urging us to get married?” Nan Chen did not believe her words.
“Mr. Chen, you think too much. I've never thought of that. You're way out of my league.” With that, she turned to
Erbao and warned, “No more food for you if you talk nonsense again.”
Hearing that, Erbao quickly picked up her utensils and continued eating in silence.
Since you adults aren't listening to me, then there's nothing I can do about it. Whether you two get married or not is
no more important than my meal. Hmph. I'm going to continue eating. Dealing with you two is such a waste of
time.
Just then, Ning Ran's phone rang. She grabbed her phone and stared at the screen, noting that it was from Cheng
Xiangyun.
“What's up, Cheng?” Ning Ran asked after accepting the call.
“Which one was it? I seriously can't tell!” Cheng Xiangyun asked immediately, leaving Ning Ran confused.
“Huh? What are you saying? It sounds gibberish to me. Speak properly!” Ning Ran scolded.
“Oh, come on. Don't tell me you don't know what happened on the internet?” Cheng Xiangyun countered anxiously.
“So many things are happening on the internet every second. I'm not the internet. How am I supposed to be aware
of everything that happens there?”
“You really don't know about it? Oh, my gosh. Are you living in a cave? The internet has blown up. How could you
not know about it?”
“So what exactly is going on? Can't you just tell me already?”
“I can't really put it in words. Basically, Ouyang Qing drugged Nan Chen. And by drug, I mean that kind of drug.
After that, she broadcasted her scandalous scene with him onto the internet. Damn. These city people really do
know how to play. I can't believe she had the guts to do such a thing. This is so crazy!” Cheng Xiangyun shrieked
with excitement.
Ning Ran was baffled by the news. “When did this happen?”
“About an hour ago.”
“No way. That man you just mentioned has been with me the whole day today. He's even having a meal now. How
would he be drugged by her?” Ning Ran was in disbelief.
Cheng Xiangyun explained, “I haven't finished. That was just the first half of the story. Anyway, during the critical
moment, the netizens found out the man was not Nan Chen, but Nan Xing! The problem is, they both look exactly
the same, so the netizens are currently analyzing if it's Nan Xing or Nan Chen now. Although the person in the video
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmsaid he was Nan Xing, it's still hard to identify. Since you said you were with Nan Chen, then there's no doubt that
the person in the hotel room was Nan Xing. Oh, my. Ouyang Qing has really dug her own grave now. I'd like to see
how arrogant she can be in the future.”
It was apparent that Cheng Xiangyun was in a good mood.
“Is the video still on the internet?” Ning Ran's interest was piqued.
“Of course. Hurry up and watch it. It's going to be deleted soon. After all, it's quite an explicit scene. I'm sure it'll be
deleted.”
“Okay. I'll watch it now.” After ending the call, Ning Ran made a search on the internet and found the video with no
difficulty.
It was really explicit. There were even some scenes that were censored because they exposed Ouyang Qing's body.
If the video was not processed it would be an act of spreading illegal videos that could cause Ouyang Qing to be
interrogated by relevant departments.
After watching the video, Ning Ran could confirm that the person was Nan Xing.
Though both Nan Xing and Nan Chen looked similar, they had extremely different vibes.
They carried themselves differently, especially when it came to the way they talked and laughed.
Since Ning Ran had grown closer to both of them, it was natural that she could identify who was in the video at a
glance.
As she read the flooding comments that scolded Ouyang Qing, she could not help but feel amused.
Ouyang Qing is a daughter of a rich family. How could she do such a thing?
“Who were you talking to? What's making you so happy?” Nan Chen appeared out of nowhere.
“Nothing.” Ning Ran pretended as if nothing happened.
“Why are you denying it when you're obviously smiling? Who called you just now?” Nan Chen was slightly upset.
“Cheng Xiangyun.”
“What did she say that made you so happy?” Nan Chen still did not believe her.
“It's just a topic among women. Do I have to report that to you as well? Don't you think you're asking too many
questions?” Ning Ran frowned.
