Just like that, Ouyang Qi was completely ignored.

Although he was a shameless person, he still felt quite embarrassed.

After all, he was a Young Master from a wealthy family, so he deserved some respect.

"Ahem, what are you doing? Why is the atmosphere so gloomy? Should I tell you a joke?”

Nan Xing and Zheng Lunlun’s heads looked up simultaneously as they looked at Ouyang Qi. Theysnapped at the same time, “Get out!”

Ouyang Qi was stunned. Why are they so united when they are up against me?

"Don't be like that. My father is Ouyang Duo. He's very wealthy, not worse than the Nan family...”"Get out!”

This time, three people yelled at the same time. They were Nan Xing, Nan Chen and Zheng Lunlun.When they were up against an enemy, they were still united as a family.

Ouyang Qi knew that things were not looking good for him. It was already hard to deal with twohostile people. Now that there were three of them, he could not afford to provoke them.

Hence, he laughed drily. “Get out? Sure, sure. Have a good time, guys. I'll take my leave now.Goodbye.”

Then, he hurried out of the hospital ward.

“Nan Chen, why are you here? Didn't you tell me to come here and stop that dog from coming in?”Nan Xing looked at Nan Chen appeasingly.

Ning Ran wondered when she heard what he said. What's “stopping that dog’? Am I a bone? Do theyneed to prevent me from being snatched away by a dog?

"You, go out too,” instructed Nan Chen coldly.

"Huh? Me?” asked Nan Xing

"Get out.”

“Oh, okay. I'll go now. Continue chatting, guys. I think that the nurse on duty over there is quitepretty. I'll go get her number.”

Standing up, Nan Xing patted his butt which had gone numb from sitting, and headed out.Glancing at Zheng Lunlun, Nan Chen asked, “Aren“t you leaving?”

"Me too?"

“Are you waiting for me to feed you before leaving?” asked Nan Chen coldly.

"Umm, there's no need for that. I've already eaten. You guys talk, okay? I'll get lost now.”

With that, Zheng Lunlun dashed out too.

Now, only Nan Chen and Ning Ran were left in the hospital ward. By then, the atmosphere hadbecome even colder.

“Where did you come from and where are the kids?” asked Ning Ran.

"Are you recuperating, or are you having a party here?” demanded Nan Chen coldly.

"What are you talking about? Of course, I'm recuperating. This is a hospital. Can I even have a partyhere?” rebuked Ning Ran as she frowned.

“So you know that this is a hospital too, huh? Why did you get so many people to come here then?There are people inside and outside of the ward!” snapped Nan Chen furiously.

"Wow, are you serious? I've never left the hospital. Why are you saying that I brought them over?”Ning Ran was upset now too

“Weren't you having so much fun just now?”

"Didn't I explain it already? Zheng Lunlun wanted to play a game, so we played a couple of roundstogether. I didn’t know that they'll come, nor did I ask them to. Stop losing your temper at me.Where are my kids?” asked Ning Ran.

“What about Ouyang Qi? Why is he so free that he keep coming to the hospital every day?” NanChen became infuriated.

"How do I know? Why don't you go and ask him! I didn't ask him to come. Well, he's so rich that hedoesn't need to work. All he needs to do is to rely on his parent's money, so he naturally has time tovisit me. What can I do about it? This is a hospital, not my private villa. I can't chase him awayeither.”

"So you just let him stay here every day?”

“I didn't. He's the one who insists on coming. It's got nothing to do with me,” defended Ning Ran.“It's got nothing to do with you, huh? Who did he come here for then?”

Mulling over it for a while, Ning Ran thought that he was right. She seemed to have something todo with it, but not directly.

“I'm in no position to care about what he does. Anyway, I didn't do anything wrong. So, where aremy kids?" asked Ning Ran, feeling irritated.

“They went to eat dessert.”

“With whom?"

“A friend.”

"A friend? How can you let the kids follow someone so casually? What kind of person is yourfriend?”

“I asked the bodyguards to tag along. I can't possibly bring the kids over to watch you have a party,right?”

Ning Ran took a deep breath. He's arguing with me right off the bat. This is so stressful.

“Mr. Chen, first of all, I did not have a party. Other than Ouyang Qi, everyone else who came is yourrelative. I can't possibly stop them from coming if they want to visit me, right? Secondly, I've alreadyexplained what's going on with Ouyang Qi. He insisted on coming. It's got nothing to do with me.Furthermore, I've not been friendly to him. Thirdly, my kids shouldn't go out with other people soeasily, not even if they are your friends. How can you be certain that your friends do not have anyulterior motives? If something bad happened, who will bear the responsibility?”

Nan Chen's heart skipped a beat too.

Actually, he was reluctant to leave the children with Ouyang Qing. However, as they insisted, he hadno choice but to relent.

He had been feeling uneasy all the time. After hearing what Ning Ran said, he felt even moreanxious.

However, Nan Chen would never admit his mistakes openly. “I know what I am doing.”

“I'm the kids’ mother. Naturally, I have the right to ask about them. Who did you leave my kidswith?” Ning Ran became agitated.

“I already said that they left with a friend. They'll come here after a while.”

“Which friend?"

Noticing Nan Chen's silence, Nan Chen suddenly got a revelation.

“You let your pretty girlfriend bring my kids away, right, didn't you?” demanded Ning Ran in an icytone.

"Why are you calling her my pretty girlfriend. Don't say that, okay?”

By now, Ning Ran was already getting restless. “Wow, Nan Chen. I can't believe this. Are you lettingmy kids see their stepmother now? They are my kids. Who are you to let them meet theirstepmother?”

"What are you talking about? Can you please mind your language?” Nan Chen was frustrated too."You just can't wait for them to meet their stepmother! Let me tell you this, Nan Chen. I will never letmy kids stay with you. If you want to snatch my kids away, you can only do it over my dead body!Where are they right now? I want to go to them!”

As she spoke, Ning Ran jumped off the bed, wore her shoes and prepared to leave.

"What are you doing?”

“I'm going to look for my kids!"

"Where are you going to look for them? Don't get agitated. I said that they'll be fine.”

“I won't let my kids be bullied by an evil woman. I'm going to look for them now.”

“I already said that they'll be fine. They'll come back after a while. Why are you being so riled up?”Not expecting Ning Ran to become so agitated, Nan Chen started to feel uneasy too.

“They're my kids, my own flesh and blood. It's impossible that I can remain calm! If I knew thatyou're going to leave my kids with an evil woman, I wouldn't have allowed them to go out with you!I trusted you because you are their father!”

Ning Ran was not putting on an act. Instead, she was genuinely emotional now. Her eyes were redand her voice was quaking as if she was on the brink of tears.

Nan Chen held her back. “Don’t do this. The kids are alright. I've got everything under control. Ifanything happens, the bodyguards will inform me. The kids are capable of taking care ofthemselves. You don't need to be so anxious. They're my kids too. You really don't have to do this.”Nan Chen's attitude became gentler because he suddenly understood why Ning Ran was soagitated.

If Ning Ran let the kids go out with Ouyang Qi, he would be beyond furious.

All parents only want the best for their children.
