Chapter 82: Chapter 82

Ning Ran was rather amused by Zheng Lunlun’s reaction.

“What do you mean by this? This is how seniority works. You should treat me with more respect in future. I am still more senior than you after all.” Ning Ran did not care about him and put on airs.

“You wish! I will never address you as my Aunt! In your dreams!” Zheng Lunlun looked extremely anxious.

“We will put this matter aside for now. I have an important question to ask you and you have to answer me seriously.” Ning Ran grabbed onto Zheng Lunlun’s collar.

“Let go of me now! How can you be so violent! You’re a lady!”

“Let me ask you. If one day, I am in bad terms with the poker face, who’s side will you be on?”

Zheng Lunlun sulked, “Can you ask something else? This question is tricky……”

“You must give me an answer. Will you be on his side or mine?” Ning Ran did not allow him to shun this question.

“Well, I feel like this is an impossible question to begin with! It can’t happen!” Zheng Lunlun shrugged his shoulders.

“What do you mean?”

“If you think about, let’s say you really fall into bad terms with my third uncle, then it wouldn’t really matter as to whose side I will take. You’re going to lose anyway! Even if everyone from Flower City stands on your side, and you area all against Nan Chen, you’re still going to lose. So the best answer to this question is, don’t ever get into any conflict with my third uncle if you would like to live a peaceful life.” Zheng Lunlun gave Ning Ran his conclusion.

Ning Ran was hopping mad.

But she gave it a second thought and realized it somehow made sense.

“So are we good buddies?” Ning Ran stared into Zheng Lunlun’s eyes, not letting go of his collar.

“Yes, that’s for sure! Speaking of that, you haven’t been gaming with me for quite some time.”

“If we are good buddies, I’m sure you wouldn’t allow me to get hurt right?”

“What are you trying to say?” Zheng Lunlun felt empty, “You are asking me to stand on your side to be against my third uncle? I don’t mind if you provoke anyone but not if you’re thinking of provoking the most difficult person in Flower City.”

“You will not let me get hurt by anyone else right?”

“What if I said I will?”

“Then I will hurt you now!” Ning Ran raised her fist at him.

“Of course not. We are best brothers; I will never allow you to get hurt.” Zheng Lunlun said with bitterness swept across his face.

“From today onwards, you will be my undercover in the Nan family!” Ning Ran said cheekily.

“Undercover?”

“Yes. I might be having some scuffles with them in future but I am no match for them as they’re way too powerful. I need your support to instruct me on how to deal with them.” Ning Ran said.

“Well this……” Zheng Lunlun looked like he was in agony.

“You promised me just now! Are you taking back your words?” Ning Ran got angered again.

“It’s not that I am taking back my words but I’ve never tried doing such a thing before. What do you what me to do? Even though I am not related by blood to the Nan family, but there is a bond between us…”

“I am not asking you to betray the Nan family. I am just asking you to help me get intel when necessary.

Relax!”

“Alright, I might not be good at this but I will try my best.”

……

For the rest of the day, Zheng Lunlun was busy rushing to keep up with the work progress as he had left the province for a few days.

As Ning Ran’s screen time was the same as that of a first female lead, most of the scenes involve only her and Zheng Lunlun.

Occasionally there would be Luo Fei and Zhao Mingjie in the scene, but their screen time was extremely little.

It was already late at night when the team finished their work for the day. Zheng Lunlun suggested to send Ning Ran back.

Ning Ran and he are rather familiar with each other so without hesitation, she hopped onto his car.

She only realized that her handphone was missing upon reaching home.

She took Cheng Xiangyun’s phone and dialed her own number. Zheng Lunlun picked up the call. It seems that she had left her phone in his car.

Ning Ran got him to deliver her phone over to her place but Zheng Lunlun refused and asked her to come and get it from him on her own.

He even said that his fans from other provinces bought him gifts which included high grade Ginseng and bird’s nest and got Ning Ran to take some back to nourish herself.

He then asked her to game with him as he said that it had been too long and he needed to quench his addiction.

Ning Ran had no choice but to lend Cheng Xiangyun’s car to drive over to Zheng Lunlun’s hotel.

Zheng Lunlun did not lie to her. He really had a whole load of exorbitant gifts from his fans.

If one were to purchase these items, it would cost over ten thousand. Now that he was giving it to Ning Ran for free, it is no doubt that she would be happy.

Ning Ran took her phone and was about to leave. However, Zheng Lunlun stopped her.

“Are you thinking of leaving just like that?”

“What else do you want? You offered me all these yourself, don’t expect me to pay you. I am broke!”

Ning Ran shockingly said.

“Since you’re already here, you’re going to play a few rounds with me before you leave. I need to salvage your skills. I can’t possible let you remain in this level of a newbie.” Zheng Lunlun said.

Ning Ran felt like she was suffering. The one with fantastic skills was her son. She was in fact a newbie!

But she could not say. If Zheng Lunlun found out that the person he looked up to was a four year old child and that Ning Ran had been deceiving him all along, he might just strangle her to death in a moment of impulse.

She had no choice but to play a few rounds with Zheng Lunlun but she was defeated in all of them.

Zheng Lunlun was raging. He screamed, “I thought you’re a master in this？ Why are you getting more and more like a noobie?”

“Well, as you said, I am not in the best state to game now.” Ning Ran said bitterly.

“When are you able to return to your usual state?” Zheng Lunlun got irritable.

“Very soon…” Before Ning Ran could finish her sentence, Zheng Lunlun’s doorbell suddenly rang.

“Yo, are you meeting a lady? Why would someone visit you so late at night?” Ning Ran questioned him.

“Ain’t I with you now? What lady are you talking about? Go take a look at who that is at the door, I’m busy right now.” Zheng Lunlun replied with his eyes glued onto his computer screen.

Ning Ran rose from the ground and walked over to look through the digital peephole.

With one glance, Ning Ran almost fainted from shock.

The person standing outside was the poker face. Ning Ran could feel the chilly air coming from him through the hotel’s anti-theft door.

Why is he here? What is he here for?

Damn it, if he sees me in Zheng Lunlun’s hotel room so late at night, he will definitely get the wrong idea. What if he throws me out of the window! Ning Ran thought to herself.

Ning Ran tip-toed back to Zheng Lunlun’s side and kicked him, faking a low voice, “This is bad, the poker face is here!”

“What poker face? Crazy.” Zheng Lunlun had not come to his sense.

“Your Uncle is here!”

“What?!” Zheng Lunlun got so terrified that he jumped up from the floor, “Where? Where?”

“Are you out of your mind? Of course he is outside. What do we do now?”

“Oh no we are doomed. What do we do? Quick, leave now!” Zheng Lunlun said anxiously.

“This child is really paralyzed by fear! Where can I go to if the poker face is standing right outside? If I leave, he will see me for sure.”

“Oh yes, then what shall we do?”

“How about you tell him that you’re sleeping and get him to leave?” Ning Ran said.

At this time, Zheng Lunlun’s phone screen lit up. He looked even more anxious than before, “The call is from Uncle!”

“Answer it! Tell him that you’re asleep!”

“Uncle, I am already asleep, please leave.” Zheng Lunlun said after he picked up the call.

After Ning Ran heard what he said, she was done. If he said this, it meant that he had heard the knock on his door but deliberately chose not to open it.
