q Nan Chen recalled the incident in Zheng Lunlunâs room.
Although he didnât open the closet door, Nan Chen knew she was hiding inside that time!
Was this evil woman actually planning to marry Zheng Lunlun?
If thatâs the case, then their relationshipâ¦
Nan Chen dared not think any further. This woman was too evil, simply too evil!
I canât let her come near anyone else related to the Nan family! I canât let her stay in this city anymore!
But the children must stay, as the blood of the Nan family flows in them. I canât let their future be ruined by the hands of this woman!
âYou, get out.â Nan Chen looked at Nan Xing suddenly.
âHm?â
Nan Xing was a little shocked. He was a part of the party involved, and the one who would be proposing, so why have him leave?
âGet out!â Nan Chen repeatedly angrily.
âOkay.â Nan Xing dared not defy him, and went out obediently.
The temperature in the office dropped a few degrees, and Ning Ran could feel the pressure dropping as it suffocated her.
Nan Chen stood up, and walked away from his seat towards Ning Ran.
Ning Ran felt like it was the grim reaper approaching her. This Poker Face wouldnât actually kill her right here, would he?
Probably not. After all, he is a person of high social status, so he wouldnât take such risks over a nobody like her.
Ning Ran reassured herself.
Nan Chen stood in front of Ning Ran, and the scent of orange blossom filled his nose.
The torment of inner contradictions was eating away at Nan Chen.
He really like the scent, and couldnât get it off his mind.
Yet, he hated this woman and hoped for her to disappear as far away as possible.
But, he had been searching for this scent for so many years.
And when the person with this scent finally appeared in his life, she made him hate her so much that he wished for her to be gone.
But if she left, then wouldnât the scent be gone along with her?
Nan Chen just stood next to her, giving her a lot of pressure.
She mustered up her courage, and looked up at Poker Face.
Ning Ran realized that the coldness in his eyes seemed to have disappeared, as confusion took its place.
Now this is interesting. Even a big strong man like this would feel lost?
âWho are you going to marry?â Nan Chen finally spoke.
His voice was deep and magnetic, and he had returned to being cold and distant.
Ning Ran was a little confused, as she didnât plan on marrying anyone.
What kind of weird question is this?
âItâs none of your business.â Ning Ran replied coldly.
Deep down inside, she was actually afraid as Poker Face was very near to her.
This man was a dangerous one, after all.
Nan Chen got angrier.
âThe children belong to the Nan family.â
Even Nan Chenâs voice was trembling. I donât care who you marry, but this involves the children!
âMr. Chen, I think youâre mistaken. The children are mine.â Ning Ran corrected him.
âThe children stays. You leave.â Nan Chen said coldly.
Ning Ran was also getting irritated.
âI gave birth to them and raised them on my own. Why should I hand them over to you?!â Ning Ran raised her voice.
âBecause their surname is Nan.â
âWrong! Their surname is Ning!â Ning Ran snapped back.
âNing?â
Nan Chen suddenly noticed something wrong with this. This woman is called Ding Mi, so why would her childrenâs surname be Ning?
He hadnât given it much thought before, but now he felt that it was an important issue.
If the children were to take their motherâs surname, then it should be Ding. Why would their surnames be Ning?
Do these kids actually have a stepfather with the surname Ning?
âWhoâs the person with the surname Ning? Where is he?â Nan Chen asked coldly.
Ning Ran was speechless.
She didnât understand what Poker Face meant. Is he stupid? Iâm the one surnamed Ning.
âWhere is he?!â Nan Chen asked again.
Ning Ran felt a strong sense of hostility bursting out from this man. It was very terrifying.
âWhere is⦠who?â Ning Ran asked tremblingly.
âHim!â Nan Chen became even more furious. Still trying to play dumb?!
âWho is he?â Ning Ran was confused.
Nan Chen felt that this woman was playing dumb and just making a fool out of him on purpose.
âYou leave. The children stays. A hundred million.â Nan Chen said.
Ning Ran thought to herself, Goodness, the price has increased that much?! It was only tens of millions the last time they offered, and now itâs a hundred million?!
âIâm not selling my kids.â Ning Ran rejected him coldly.
âTwo hundred million!â Nan Chen offered again.
Wow, the price went up again!
Ning Ran imagined herself being a millionaire. It was quite nice. At least sheâd be able to pay Zheng Lunlun back, so she wouldnât have to put up with him anymore!
And Cheng Xiangyun too. If she had two hundred million, Cheng Xiangyun would definitely suck up to her every day and be at her beck and call!
She could even buy lots of pretty clothes for her kids and give them the best education.
Nan Chen saw Ning Ranâs eyes light up. So this woman really was just after the money!
She claimed that she wouldnât sell her kids, but was actually just waiting for a better price!
How despicable!
Ning Ran quickly snapped herself out of it. The two hundred million was not for free, but at the cost of losing her children!
Then I wouldnât want this money! I canât accept it!
âMy children are my life. I wonât sell them, no matter how much the price.â Ning Ran said.
âThree hundred million!â Nan Chen offered once more. This was also the highest he could offer her.
Three hundred million was enough to give a person complete financial freedom. It was enough for a lifetime of luxury.
This woman should be content that she could get such an amount of money just by giving birth to these two children!
If she still wonât agree to it, then Nan Chen wouldnât give her a single penny!
To handle a greedy person, we mustnât just give them everything they want. Instead, we should take away everything they want!
âMr. Chen, you can stop with the offers. Rich people like you think money can solve all your problems, but thatâs not the case for me. I may need money very much, but I wonât exchange my children for it. I stand by what I said. These kids are my life, and I wonât give up on them, no matter the price.â Ning Ran turned to leave after she finished her sentence.
She had nothing left to say to this man. He was always on top, thinking he could do whatever he likes with everything and everyone.
However, Ning Ran was not one who would let anyone control her life. No amount of money from anyone would change that.
Nan Chen blocked her path immediately.
âWalk out of there and youâll regret it.â Nan Chen said coldly.
âI wonât regret it.â
âThis is your last chance.â
âI donât want this chance.â
âThen you will not get a single cent.â This was Nan Chenâs final warning.
âI never wanted your money to begin with.â
âDid you want more than that?â
âSee it however you like.â Ning Ran said coldly.
Nan Chenâs face went pale from anger.
Even he didnât know why he was so angry.
She was just another greedy person. Was she worth him being this angry?
She wasnât!
Yet, he felt so angry! He couldnât control it at all!
While he was lost in thought, Ning Ran had already walked out of his office.
The scent of orange blossom in the office faded. Nan Chen took a deep breath and calmed himself down.
He actually almost lost control over his emotions in front of this woman. It was unbelievable!
