q The next morning, at the international airport in Flower City Wearing a flowery shirt and a pair of purple shorts, Nan Xing exited from the VIP lane. The housekeeper Chai Hua noticed him immediately.
The second Nan Xing saw Chai Hua, he thought what is that old fart doing here?
After being away from the Flower City for some time, Nan Xing wanted to spend some time with a couple of his friends first but that was no longer possible with Chai Hua around.
âYoung Master Nan Xing,â greeted Chai Hua with a bow.
âUncle Chai! Oh, how Iâve missed you,â said Nan Xing who hugged Chai Hua.
Chai Hua didnât even flinch. âI know Young Master Nan Xing doesnât like me being here,â said Chai Hua, âBut Young Master Nan Chen ordered me to wait for you here and I couldnât disobey.â
âI never said I donât like it. Why did my big brother have you here waiting for me though?â
âYoung Master Nan Chen wanted you to go see him the minute you returned and so does your grandfather,â replied Chai Hua.
âWhy is grandpa involved?â groaned Nan Xing, âItâs bad enough that my big brother is keeping his eyes on me. If grandpa joined in, Iâll die!â
âYour grandfather also said to make you change your clothes. Hereâs the change I got you,â said Chai Hua as he gestured the white tuxedo he was holding.
That tuxedo was specially designed by the Italian designer â Romeo â who was the Nan Familyâs go-to tailor.
That was the suit that the Nan Family had ordered Nan Xing to put on.
Nan Xing and Nan Chen are twins so they look identical and others would not be able to differentiate between the two.
Nan Xing was a playboy who liked to spend his time with various women whereas Nan Chen was more serious and never got close to any women.
However, those two looked so much alike that many women mistook Nan Xing as Nan Chen and had been flirting with Nan Xing who didnât mind accepting their âkindnessâ. In the end, Nan Xing caused a lot of trouble for Nan Chen.
In order to put an end to this, Nan Zhengde forbade Nan Xing from wearing black tuxedos. Regardless of what happened, Nan Xing must put on a white tuxedo so that others could differentiate between the two via the tuxedo they wear.
Additionally, the inner circle of the Nan Family had another way to differentiate between the two because Nan Xing was required to wear a red rope on his left wrist.
No one cared what Nan Xing wore when he was overseas, but the moment he came home, he must obey the rules because his appearance would destroy Nan Chen and the Nan Familyâs reputation.
Nan Xing sighed at this arrangement and reluctantly accepted the tuxedo from Chai Hua. âFine, Iâll change.â
Half an hour later, Nan Xing walked into the Nanshi Corporationâs headquarters.
Nan Chen looked up to see the man who looked just like himself, and while his expression remained neutral, his eyes shone with happiness.
âIâm home, brother. I missed you!â
âWelcome home,â said Nan Chen before he asked, âHow was Africa?â
âTerrible, the living condition wasâ¦â said Nan Xing who stopped short after seeing Nan Chenâs raised brows. Nan Xing quickly changed his tone and said, âgood, everything went smoothly. The project is progressing well, and our relations with the African governments are good. One of the presidentâs daughters even had the hots for meâ¦.â
Nan Xing was so excited that he almost let everything out of the bag so he quickly clammed his lips shut.
Nan Chen sighed at that. His baby brother truly was a troublemaker, regardless of where he was sent.
At that moment, Jiang Zhe walked in and saw that beautiful picture.
Those were two identical and equally handsome faces. The only difference between the siblings was that one of them was calmer while the other one was more devious.
If it wasnât for the different tuxedo, Jiang Zhe would not be able to tell the two apart.
âHello, Mr. Xing,â greeted Jiang Zhe as he bowed, âWelcome back.â
âHello, assistant Jiang,â said Nan Xing while glaring, âDidnât you personally tend to the order that sent me to Africa?â
âPlease forgive me, Mr. Xing,â said the terrified Jiang Zhe, âI was just following orders.â
âItâs not his fault, I was the one responsible,â said Nan Chen who was frowning, âAre you still mad at me?â
âItâs not a big deal,â said Nan Xing who was still a little annoyed.
âMr. Chen, please sign these documents when you are free,â said Jiang Zhe who put the documents down and tried to flee, âIâll just be on my way now.â
âWait,â Nan Chen stopped Jiang Zhe, âGive him an update about the kids and that woman.â
âYes, sir.â
Next, Jiang Zhe explained how they discovered Ning Ran and the kids as well as how they confirmed that the kids are members of the Nan Family.
Lastly, Nan Xing was shown a picture of Ning Ran and the kids.
âHey, these must be my kids because they look just like me,â said Nan Xing, âBut why donât I recognize that woman?â
âHuh?â Nan Chen looked up.
âMaybe itâs because Iâve been with so many women that I forgot, but thatâs not possible either. She is so beautiful and if I had been with her, I would most definitely have remembered,â murmured Nan Xing.
Nan Chen didnât speak, but his eyes turned darker.
He also thought that if anyone had been with Ning Ran, they would most definitely remember her.
Her beauty, especially the seductive glint that was naturally exuded from her eyes every now and then, was so breathtaking that it would imprint on anyone who saw her. Nan Chen hated it, but couldnât let go of that beauty.
The most important and seductive part of her was that sweet tangerine scent exuded by her, but that scent was Nan Chenâs secret because he was the only one who could smell it and was the only one who remembered it.
That was a scent that haunted his dreams and fantasies⦠but he couldnât let anyone know.
He had always hated her, and she had been with his brother so any thoughts about that scent was a sin, and Nan Chen didnât dare to give it much of a thought.
âBrother? Brother?â Nan Xing realized that Nan Chen had gotten so lost he didnât even react to Nan Xingâs words.
Nan Chen finally came around and said, âOh, do you remember?â
âYou mean about the mother? No, I donât, but that didnât matter because she is beautiful and she is perfect for me,â said Nan Xing, âBy the way, did you just get distracted? Are you in love?â
Nan Chenâs eyes shone with fear but that was virtually undetectable. He said, âWhat are you bullsh*****
about?â
âAre you still involved with that Luo Fei?â asked Nan Xing who then said, âCâmon, you donât love her anyway. Donât hang out with that wall of make-up anymore or good women would stay away from you.â
Nan Chenâs eyes were menacing when he looked at Nan Xing.
âAlright, alright, I know you donât like others commenting on your life. You are the renowned Mr. Chen, after all. You can do whatever you want,â said Nan Xing, âIâll be leaving now then?â
Nan Chen didnât speak.
He was still thinking about whether he should tell his brother all the bad attributes of that Ding Mi, like the time she offered to have sex with Nan Chen in exchange for a role on the show, or the time she showed up at the hotel with the secondary director, or how she used her kids to get close to the Nan Familyâ¦
If he kept it to himself, heâs worried that his baby brother would be conned by that woman, but itâs inappropriate for him to say anything bad about that woman either.
In the end, he decided to keep quiet and would work in the shadows to stop that woman from marrying into the Nan Family.
