Chapter 167: Chapter 168

Nan Xing saw her come forward and quickly turned around to shut the door.

Ning Ran wouldn’t let him shut the door as she wouldn’t be able to enter if he did.

So, the two of them were pushing against the door from both sides.

But Nan Xing was stronger and managed to shut the door from inside.

Ning Ran was furious. These Nan family twins are no men, bullying a woman like this!

What do I do now? Do I go back or continue to knock on the door?

No, I can’t let them have their way or they’ll do it again!

I’m no pushover!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

She started banging on the door.

The two bodyguards came over once again, “Miss, please keep quiet.”

“I’m trying to visit the patient, but they won’t let me in. What else can I do if I don’t knock on the door?”

Ning Ran asked rudely.

“That’s……” The bodyguards didn’t know what to do.

“Get lost.” Ning Ran said.

“But miss, we can’t leave you alone if you’re this noisy.” The bodyguards said.

“What, are you going to drag me away? Do you know who I am?” Ning Ran asked.

“Yes, we do.” The bodyguards nodded.

“That’s good, then. There may be some misunderstandings between me and your idiot young master right now, but if we make up, I’ll settle the score later on. If you are rude to me, I won’t let you go!”

The threat was effective. The two bodyguards just glanced at each other and dared not say a word.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Ning Ran continued banging on the door.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The entire floor was empty and very quiet. As a result, the violent banging on the door sounded especially loud. The people inside were probably unable to stand it any longer.

The door finally opened, and Nan Chen stepped out with an angry look on his face.

Ning Ran thought he was going to do something to her, but he just walked straight towards the elevator without saying anything.

Nan Xing came out as well and looked at Ning Ran, “Stop it already, go on in.”

Ning Ran let out a sigh of relief as she emerged victorious.

She picked up the items from the supermarket and walked into the ward.

“I’m here to see you, Blondie.” Ning Ran called out.

“Hahaha……” Zheng Lunlun laughed happily.

Ning Ran put down her things and turned to look at Zheng Lunlun on the bed.

He had become fatter and his face had become fleshier, but he still looked as pretty as ever.

“Do you recognize me?” Ning Ran reached out to pat Zheng Lunlun on the face.

“Mhmm!” Zheng Lunlun nodded happily; his eyes filled with joy.

“You really recognize me?” Ning Ran was still doubtful.

In the forest, Zheng Lunlun’s brain had been damaged by the poison so badly that he called Ning Ran mama and Nan Chen papa.

“Mhmm!” Zheng Lunlun nodded again.

“Who am I then? You’re not going to call me Mama again, are you?” Ning Ran eyed him suspiciously.

“Ding Mi!” Zheng Lunlun called out cheerfully.

“Oh my, you really do recognize me! My Blondie is back! That’s great!” Ning Ran’s eyes teared up with joy as she was really happy for Zheng Lunlun.

The kind of relationship she had with Zheng Lunlun was difficult for others to understand.

Zheng Lunlun had helped her through her most difficult times, and she still owed him a few hundred thousand.

That bond they forged during difficult times was one that could not be easily described with words, and only they understood how precious it was.

Zheng Lunlun got up and hugged Ning Ran.

“Be a good boy and don’t go crazy like that again, alright? Imagine how many girls would be so upset if a pretty child like you were to go crazy!” Ning Ran patted Zheng Lunlun on the back.

“Mhmm!” Zheng Lunlun answered.

Ning Ran started unpacking the things she bought, “I know what you like to eat, so I got you these. Do you want to eat them now?”

“No.” Zheng Lunlun said.

“I’ll peel an apple for you then. You know what? I was so mad earlier! Your uncles wouldn’t let me come in to see you and kept me locked outside! But, you know how my temper is. Who in the world could possibly stand in my way, right? So I kept banging on the door and they couldn’t stand it anymore, so they had to let me in. They could never understand our revolutionary friendship! Forget about them!”

Ning Ran went on and on, but realized that Zheng Lunlun was rather quiet.

Zheng Lunlun had not said more than ten words ever since she came in.

This wasn’t like him at all, as he had always been a chatterbox.

“What’s wrong with you? Why aren’t you talking?” Ning Ran looked at Zheng Lunlun.

Zheng Lunlun laughed, “Nothing.”

“That’s not right, you’re talking a lot less than usual. Are you trying to act quiet like your uncle Poker Face? Don’t be like him! That behavior of his is very annoying. If you become like him, I won’t talk to you anymore!” Ning Ran threatened.

“Nothing.” Zheng Lunlun repeated.

Ning Ran walked over and grasped Zheng Lunlun’s chin, “Still denying it? You haven’t said more than three words in every sentence ever since I came in! What has gotten into you? You wouldn’t stop talking whenever you saw me before, so why you are so quiet now?”

Zheng Lunlun looked pitiful with his chin being held by Ning Ran, “Really…… nothing……”

Then his face turned red from his ear to his neck.

“My goodness, what are you being shy about? I’m not molesting you or anything, what’s going on? In fact, in terms of seniority, I’m like an aunt to you! We’re like seniors and juniors, so why is your face so red?” Ning Ran exclaimed.

Zheng Lunlun’s face turned even redder, “I’m not…… not…… shy!”

“Listen to yourself! You’re stuttering so badly and you still say you’re not shy? Is your brain still damaged or what? Why are you acting like this?”

Zheng Lunlun took a deep breath with a helpless expression on his face.

“I’ll be…… honest with you…… I…….”

Someone knocked on the door. It was the doctor making his rounds.

The doctor nodded as he saw Ning Ran.

Ning Ran nodded back in response.

“How are you feeling today?” The doctor asked Zheng Lunlun.

Zheng Lunlun just nodded without speaking.

“You have to talk, otherwise your stuttering will only get worse if you’re afraid to speak.” The doctor said.

Ning Ran was shocked. So the reason why Zheng Lunlun didn’t talk was because he was stuttering?

How could this be? Didn’t he just suffer from some brain damage? Why is he stuttering as well?

No wonder he was so quiet the whole time!

Ning Ran felt her heart ache upon hearing this. What a shame it would be for such a beautiful child and famous star to suffer from stuttering!

Zheng Lunlun nodded helplessly.

“You must be the young mistress of the Nan family, right? You have to get him to speak more often. His condition is a sequela of the poisoning. We have contacted the best specialists in the country. They will arrive tomorrow and start carrying out his treatment. During this period of time, the companionship of family and relatives is very important. You must help him relieve his stress and feel confident about speaking. If he won’t even speak, then his condition will only worsen, and even the best specialists wouldn’t be able to cure him.” The doctor said.

Ning Ran nodded, “I understand. I’ll encourage him to talk more. He used to be a real chatterbox back then, so it’s hard to imagine him being like this now. I’ll do my best to help him with this.”
