Dabao and Erbao exchanged disappointed glances.
They had tried several different methods previously to force Ning Ran and Nan Chen together, including
deliberately provoking their parents to be jealous of each other.
To Ning Ran, they said they wanted Ouyang Qing to be their stepmother. At the same time, they told Nan Chen they
wanted Ouyang Qi to be their stepfather.
While that did seem to push the adults into action, the most important problem still remained.
Nan Chen and Ning Ran were unable to marry while Ouyang Qing and Ouyang Qi were still entangled with them.
If either one of the Ouyang siblings succeeded, their parents would be separated!
Dabao and Erbao could not take that risk. That was why after a serious discussion, they decided they had to come
up with another plan to ensure their parents’ relationship was not sabotaged.
Thus, they thought of Nan Xing.
They had thought this was the perfect arrangement until Nan Xing refused the offer. In an instant, their plan fell
through.
What are we going to do now?
Out of ideas, Erbao glanced at her brother hopefully. He was always the one who solved their difficult problems.
“Uncle Xing, we really need to talk about this,” Dabao said.
Nan Xing lifted his chin proudly and announced, “No way! You two little brats actually want me to marry Ouyang
Qing? Heck no! I don’t like her!”
“That’s where you’re wrong. She might not even want to marry you.”
“Hmm? What’s that supposed to mean?” Nan Xing frowned, a little unhappy at what the boy was hinting at.
He was the perfect gentleman! It was not a matter of whether Ouyang Qing wanted to marry him; it should be the
other way around!
“Ouyang Qing has her eyes set on Daddy so she might not agree to marry you,” Dabao continued.
“Dabao, you’re wrong! It’s not that she might not agree; she most definitely won’t agree!” Erbao added.
Nan Xing suddenly burst into laughter. “Hahaha! I get it! You two are trying to provoke me into doing what you
want! I won’t fall for your sneaky scheme!”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Uncle, do you love us?” Dabao abruptly questioned in a serious tone.
“Of course I do! I was supposed to meet my friends tonight but I came back immediately when I heard your
summons. I love both of you so much!”
“If Daddy and Mommy both marry someone else, we’ll end up with a stepfather and a stepmother. We won’t be
happy then. We’ll be so upset and sad. Aren’t you going to take pity on us?” Dabao had a woeful expression on his
young face.
Realizing what her brother was up to, Erbao instantly went along with it by acting like she was about to cry.
Nan Xing hastily comforted, “Of course I will! Even if they marry someone else other than each other, you two will
still have Great-Grandpa and me! Nothing will affect you so don’t you worry!”
“But we are still worried! We still hope that Daddy and Mommy will end up together! Uncle, can’t you at least try to
woo Ouyang Qing for our sake? Maybe she’ll have a sudden change of heart and take pity on you? What if she
really does agree to be with you?” Dabao pleaded.
“Excuse me? I’ll only be with her if I take pity on her, not the other way around. What you’re saying is so
unrealistic!”
“So does that mean you agree to court her?” the twins cried out in joy.
“I’ll have to think about it. No matter how I look at it, this is just so weird! If she really is blind enough to reject me,
my reputation will be at stake? That would be so humiliating! I can’t afford to let that happen!”
“Don’t worry about that, Uncle. We’ll help you so you’ll definitely succeed!” Dabao promised.
“You two are going to help me? How?”
“We have our ways. Just relax!”
“But I honestly don’t like her! What if she really agrees to marry me? That would be so troublesome!” Nan Xing
yelped.
Dabao smirked slyly. “Uncle, please take one for the team. You’re doing this so we can be happy! Besides, just
because you’ve wooed her doesn’t mean you actually have to marry her. There’s also a chance you won’t succeed
anyway!”
“What are you planning?”
In response, the little boy laughed and commented, “When Daddy finds out that you like Ouyang Qing, there’s no
chance he’ll consider being together with her!”
Nan Xing was quick to catch on to his meaning. “That’s not a bad plan. It makes a lot of sense, actually. But isn’t it
rather mean to play with her feelings like that when I really don’t like her?”
“It’s better than her breaking up Mommy and Daddy! Mommy and Daddy are made for each other! We can’t allow
anyone to get between them!” Dabao’s voice was determined.
Sighing, Nan Xing lamented, “I never would have thought a day would come where I would end up being used by
two kids. How ridiculous is that!”
The next day, inside Nan Chen’s office at Nanshi Corporation.
Today was a rare day where there were no meetings so Nan Chen was flipping through a proposal at his desk.
At that moment, Jiang Zhe entered the office with a delighted smile on his face.
“Mr. Chen, good news!”
“Our ratings have reached a new high record?” Nan Chen questioned calmly.
“How did you know? Did you see it on the news?”
“I didn’t but I expected it.”
“That’s amazing! How did you guess?”
“I have already told that silly woman yesterday that we would break the record.”
“That silly woman?”
It took Jiang Zhe a moment to realize who Nan Chen was referring to.
There was probably no one else in the entire Flower City who dared call her that other than Nan Chen. Anyone who
tried would probably bring the wrath of God down on them.
“We’re not just the highest rated on the TV stations but also the various online websites! In fact, we’ve left the
second-highest-rated far behind in the dust!” Jiang Zhe exclaimed with excitement.
Opposite him, Nan Chen was not as excited as his assistant. After all, this was all within his expectations.
Jiang Zhe spoke up again, “By the way, Mr. Gao is here. Do you want to see with him?”
“Gao Jiaming?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Yes.”
“What is he doing here?”
“He actually went to Star Entertainment first. They told him they couldn’t make certain decisions, which was why he
came here.”
“Let him in,” Nan Chen ordered.
Gao Jiaming’s advertisement company was the best in the entire province. That was why a lot of international
brands liked to work with his company to advertise their products.
Due to a mutual love of football and being the sons of wealthy families, Nan Chen and Gao Jiaming were relatively
good friends. Their companies were also constantly working with each other.
Nan Chen’s brows furrowed when he noticed the outfit the other man was wearing. It was a plaid suit. “Why are
you dressed like a zebra?”
Gao Jiaming was actually quite handsome. His only flaw was that he was rather short, only 1.68 meters. To make up
for that, he would usually wear elevator shoes so he would look taller and more imposing.
“Excuse me? This is the newest trend in fashion! By the way, I’m here to talk about signing up one of Star
Entertainment’s artists for a product endorsement.
“Ding Mi?”
“Yeah, how did you know?”
“You’ll never bother to come and see me unless there’s something that will benefit you. Her new drama series is a
big hit and you’ve realized her commercial value. You’re trying to sign her now before she becomes a celebrity so
you can save on the endorsement fees. Am I right?” Nan Chen stated indifferently.
“Hahaha! As expected of Sir Chen! I can’t keep anything from you. I’m here with a sincere spirit of cooperation. I
was very surprised when Star Entertainment told me that anything to do with Ding Mi has to go through you. Is that
true?”
“Yes, it is.” Nan Chen nodded.
