Ning Ran was losing her temper.
What is going on with these two acting like mutes? A silent protest?
Did they have to resort to such a method against a mere defenseless woman like her?
âJust what do you guys want? If you wonât talk, you can just tell me the number of Zheng Lunlunâs ward. Iâll go by myself.â Ning Ran was growing impatient.
Nan Xing looked at Nan Chen as he couldnât decide and had to listen to his brother.
Nan Chen kept quiet as he turned and walked inside.
Nan Xing quickly followed him.
Ning Ran hurriedly followed them too, but it was difficult for her as she was carrying a lot of items.
However, neither Nan Chen nor Nan Xing had the intention to help her carry them.
They took the elevator to the tenth floor. Two bodyguards were seen standing there when the doors opened.
They bowed when they saw Nan Chen.
The entire floor was silent, as if there was no other patient here.
When they arrived at the door of the ward, Nan Chen was about to push the door open, but suddenly withdrew his hand and turned to look at Ning Ran instead.
Ning Ran looked up innocently, unsure of what the Poker Face wanted to do.
Nan Chen waved his hand.
Ning Ran still didnât understand. She turned around and saw no one behind her, so she didnât understand what he meant by waving his hand.
âMy brother says, youâre not allowed to see Lunlun!â Nan Xing said.
Ning Ran was stunned; Iâm not allowed to see him?
âBut why? Iâve bought so many thingsâ¦â¦â
âYou are not related to our Nan family. We do not need you visiting our family members.â Nan Chen said coldly.
He had finally spoken, but he didnât say anything nice.
âBlondie is my friend.â Ning Ran argued.
âYouâre not worthy of being his friend.â Nan Chen said.
That hurt Ning Ran.
But she couldnât just give up like that. She couldnât admit defeat in front of Poker Face, so she had to endure it.
âI have always been his friend. You donât have the right to judge if Iâm worthy or not. If you wonât let me in, then why did you let me carry all this stuff here?â
âYou were the one who tagged along.â
Ning Ran understood now. Poker Face was making fun of her on purpose.
âIâm here to visit my friend. You donât get to decide for him who his friends are. You control everything like a tyrant, but youâre just feeling inferior!â
The corner of Nan Chenâs mouth twitched with anger; Iâm feeling inferior? Me? Nan Chen? Inferior?
Even Nan Xing was shocked. Someone dared call his brother inferior?
Nan Chen could have the entire Flower City tremble with a mere stomp of his foot! How could he possibly feel inferior?
âYou lack empathy, you cruel Poker Face! Youâre just being cold to act mysterious. Youâre afraid that people would find out how you lack empathy if they got close! If this isnât inferiority, what is? This is a severe case of inferiority!â Ning Ran raised her voice as she diagnosed Nan Chen with an inferiority complex.
You feel inferior even if you donât admit to it! You feel inferior even though you have what others donât!
You are feeling inferior because I said so!
This odd method of insult was indeed effective.
The expression on Nan Chenâs face grew angrier.
He thought to himself, This woman is a crazy one, there is no need to care about her.
But the truth was there was no way he could ignore her, as he realized how much he was offended by what she said.
Ning Ran noticed the change in Nan Chenâs expression, and knew her blow was effective.
Of course she knew a person like Nan Chen wouldnât feel inferior. She just wanted to spite him.
It was easy for him to counter any other insults on him, but not so with feeling inferior.
How would one even prove that they werenât feeling inferior? There didnât seem to be any way to prove it.
Nan Chen was the proudest person, so being called inferior made him feel even more uncomfortable.
Ning Ran felt a thrill when she saw how close Nan Chen was to burst with anger.
I like how you look when you hate me so much yet canât do anything about it!
Thatâs what you get for bullying me!
âGet her out of here, as far away as possible!â Nan Chen pointed at Ning Ran angrily, but his words were directed at Nan Xing.
He was pushing the responsibility onto Nan Xing. This woman is too much for me. You get rid of her! I need to calm down!
Nan Xing had a helpless look on his face, Brother, what are you playing at? Youâre the one who started a fight, and now youâre having me get rid of her because you couldnât win?
âMy brother wants you to leave!â Nan Xing put on a fierce look.
Ning Ran put her things on the floor, âI wonât leave. I came to see my friend today. Iâm not leaving until I see him!â
âLeave!â
âNo!â
âOkay.â Nan Xing cowered up instantly.
Nan Chen was stressed out. He didnât expect Nan Xing to be so useless in front of this woman.
But he couldnât do anything himself either, otherwise theyâd be ganging up on her.
Nan Chen gestured at the bodyguards near the elevator.
The two bodyguards came running over, âYes, Sir Chen?â
Nan Chen eyed Ning Ran, and said, âGet rid of this outsider.â
With that, he pushed the door open, entered the ward and slammed the door shut behind him.
The two bodyguards looked at each other as they wondered, Whatâs going on here? Didnât this woman come with them? Why is she an outsider now?
âMiss, please come with us.â
The bodyguards dared not act rashly. They cautiously asked Ning Ran to leave while gesturing at her politely.
âIâm not leaving. I came to see my friend.â
âRan, you should leave. Stop defying my brother. You know how his temper isâ¦â¦â Nan Xing said.
âPiss off! Two grown men bullying a woman? And now youâre bringing in two more bodyguards? Have the Nan family no shame?â Ning Ran shouted.
âYoung master Xingâ¦â¦â The bodyguards looked at Nan Xing.
Nan Xing waved at them, âGo away, youâre excused.â
The bodyguards let out a sigh of relief upon hearing that and went back to guarding the elevator.
âRan, why are you doing this?â Nan Xing said.
âWhat do you mean why? Canât you see that the Poker Face is bullying me?â Ning Ran yelled angrily.
âWhat I mean is, why were you hugging that man in front of us?â Nan Xing asked.
âI didnât, heâs the one that tried to hug me. I pushed him off, didnât you see that?â
âAll we saw was you two hugging. Ran, why are you cheating on me?â Nan Xing got angry as he said that.
No matter how good-tempered a man was, such a thing was unacceptable.
âI didnât! I just went to buy some stuff from the supermarket. He kept following me and helped me carry the stuff here. That was all! Besides, there is nothing between us, so how would that be cheating on you?â Ning Ran said.
âWeâre getting married soon, so how could we have nothing between us? Never mind, I get it now, my brother was right. Go, Lunlun doesnât need your visit.â Nan Xing pushed the door open and went in after saying that.
Ning Ran saw that and stepped forward as she wanted to force her way in.
