Ning Ran walked over and asked, “You were looking for me?”
“Yes,” said Nan Chen who was sighing a little.
“What's up?”
“Follow me.” Nan Chen stood up and walked ahead.
Ning Ran didn't follow him. She thought, I am not your servant. Why should I listen to you?
Nan Chen had only taken a few steps when he realized that Ning Ran hadn't budged so he turned around.
“Where are we going?” Ning Ran wasn't moving.
Nan Chen walked over and dragged Ning Ran, “Come.”
Luo Fei was observing Nan Chen's interaction with Ning Ran and was secretly delighted.
You b****. Nan Chen will make you suffer!
“Let me go!” Ning Ran wanted to break free, but her efforts were futile.
Nan Chen's grip was strong that it hurt Ning Ran a little.
After failing a couple of times, Ning Ran gave up and had no choice but to follow Nan Chen.
Dabao and Erbao saw them and were both confused.
“Are Mommy and Third Uncle fighting?” asked Erbao to Dabao.
“I don't think so,” said Dabao as he frowned, “Third Uncle doesn't look like the kind of man who would lay a hand on
women.”
“Then what are they doing?” asked Erbao.
“I don't know,” said Dabao as he shook his head, “What did Third Uncle talk to you about just now?”
“He asked me what was up with Mommy,” answered Erbao after deliberating.
“Then?”
“Then I mimed like this and like this.” Erbao performed her terrible dance again.
“Ah, I get it now.” Dabao understood immediately. After all, they are twins and their connection was strong so he
could understand his sister easily.
“What did you figure out?”
“You won't understand even if I explain it to you,” said Dabao like he was an adult, “Don't worry about them.”

“But there was an obvious conflict between them,” claimed the worried Erbao, “We can't just sit idly by.”
“Trust me,” said Dabao, “We don't need to worry.”
On the other side, Nan Chen finally let go of Ning Ran's hand, but her hand was already reddened.
“Where are you taking me?” demanded Ning Ran.
Nan Chen ignored her and kept walking forward.
Ning Ran didn't bother heading back either because she knew that if she disobeyed, he would drag her along again.
When they reached a secluded area, Nan Chen stopped and scanned the surroundings.
Ning Ran was a little nervous. She thought This asshole didn't bring me all the way here to kill me, did he?
Our feud isn't so bad so he's probably won't go as far as murder.
Or is he planning to rape me?
That's not possible either. He's too proud to do that. He may take part in other criminal activities, but not that.
So what does he want?
“Here's fine,” said Nan Chen, “Strip.”
Ning Ran was taken aback and had her hands on her chest. “What are you doing?”
“I'm not doing anything,” said Nan Chen.
“If you touch me, I'll kill you!” threatened Ning Ran.
Nan Chen was shocked until he realized what Ning Ran was talking about. Then, he sneered, “What are you talking
about? Me? Touching you? You wish!”
Nan Chen's rude response annoyed Ning Ran, and she thought: I'm not that bad!
“Then what do you want?” asked Ning Ran.
“No one's around,” explained Nan Chen, “I'll keep watch while you shower. Your skin will be itchier if you don't.”
Ning Ran's face reddened with embarrassment.
How did he find out about my itches? That little traitor Erbao must've told him.
“No way!”
“Then let's go back,” said Nan Chen as he turned to leave, “You'll just have to keep suffering.”
“Hey!”
Nan Chen stopped walking. He turned to Ning Ran and glared at her without uttering a word.
“Promise you won't peek?” asked Ning Ran shyly.
Nan Chen sneered before turning away with distaste in his eyes.
He never spoke, but his message was clear. You're not worthy enough for me to peek.
“If you sneak a peek, you'll die a horrible death!” said Ning Ran who was cursing Nan Chen.
Nan Chen ignored her and walked towards the bushes.
Ning Ran made sure that Nan Chen couldn't see her from his position before she took off her clothes and went into
the water.
The water was refreshing and Ning Ran's skin, which had been itching and reddening, felt much better after she
went in.
Ning Ran washed up as fast as she could because this was the first time she showered outdoors.
Although she was aware of the fact that no one would show up here, she was still extremely nervous.
Just as she was finishing up, Ning Ran noticed a black shiny thing swimming over.
Eel!
Ning Ran was scared out of her mind and dashed out of the water while screaming out loud.
Nan Chen heard her screams and thought that something had happened to her so he quickly ran over to rescue
her.
Then, the two of them stared at each other, and time seemed to have stopped for a moment.
“Go away, you pervert!” shouted Ning Ran.
Nan Chen walked back into the bushes, annoyed and embarrassed.
Ning Ran put on her clothes and stood there. She didn't dare to walk over to the Poker Face because she didn't
know how to face him.
She knew that he only rushed in for her protection, but...
Ah! That is so embarrassing!
On the other side, Nan Chen's heart was beating fast as guilt swelled up inside of him. That was his brother's lover!
How could he see her naked?
Unfortunately, what was done was done, and he couldn't make up for it. Even if he were to dig his eyes out, the
image would still be etched inside his mind. Moreover, they had to face the reality that they can't stay away for too
long.
“Are you done?” asked Nan Chen.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Yeah,” replied Ning Ran who had no other choice.
“Then get over here,” said Nan Chen.
Ning Ran walked over slowly like her feet were as heavy as lead.
Nan Chen began taking off his shirt.
“What now?” asked Ning Ran who was starting to feel nervous again.
“I want to wash up too,” said Nan Chen as he handed his shirt to Ning Ran then pointed at the river beside them,
“Help me wash my shirt over there then squeeze it dry afterward.”
“Why me?” demanded Ning Ran.
“Do you see anyone else around?” refuted Nan Chen.
Ning Ran could not argue with that. It was true that there was no one else around, but...who said that I have to
wash your clothes for you just because no one else is around?
Nan Chen didn't wait for her reply before he walked over and jumped into the river.
Ning Ran was stunned as she held Nan Chen's shirt.
“If you refuse to wash my shirt, I'll tell everyone what happened,” threatened Nan Chen from afar.
“You...” said Ning Ran who was so furious that she was speechless. That despicable man! He's threatening to tell
everyone after he had seen me naked? Has he no shame?
Despite her anger, Ning Ran knew that she couldn't let Nan Chen tell everyone what happened or she would die of
embarrassment.
With no other options, Ning Ran went to wash the shirt.
As she washed, she noticed that the buttons on the shirt were familiar.
It was obvious that the buttons were custom made and upon taking a closer look, she noticed that every single one
of them had the word 'N' carved on it.
Ning Ran had a similar button stored. She got it five years ago and had been keeping it safe.
Ning Ran even thought about using that button as a clue to figure out who the kids' biological father was, but Cheng
Xiangyun said that it was virtually impossible because no one would keep a shirt that was 5 years old, let alone its
buttons.
Yet, Ning Ran was looking at the exact same button. She couldn't believe that there were people who would use the
same shirt and the same buttons all those years.
Ning Ran's heart began beating fast. Is this just a coincidence? Or is there some sort of misunderstanding?
