At that moment, Ning Ran’s phone rang.

When she glanced at her phone, she discovered that the number wasn't one of her contacts. Itlooked unfamiliar too.

“Hello? Who is this?"

“Mimi, I'm Ouyang Qi! Where are you? I made a reservation at a restaurant. I would like to treat youto a meal.”

Ning Ran was taken aback. Why is it him again?

Didn't he disappear a few days ago?

“I'm not in Flower City right now. Let's have a meal next time,” replied Ning Ran casually.

“You're lying to me again. I know that you're back,” replied Ouyang Qi with a laugh.

"How did you know?"

“The people who were with you had all returned to the office. How is it possible that you're still notback at Flower City? Where are you? I'll pick you up.”

"Where did you get all this information from?” Ning Ran was feeling anxious now.

"You don't need to know about that. I'm rich. With money, I can buy any information I want. Whereare you? I'll pick you up now. Send your location to me.”

“There's no need for that. I'm ending the call now.” Ning Ran hung up directly.

"Who called you?” asked Nan Chen.

“Do I have to report this to you as well, boss?” asked Ning Ran.

“Yes.” Nan Chen was straightforward with his words too.

"Well, I'm not telling.”

“But you must.”

"Why should I? Even if you're my boss, I have my right to my own privacy too.”

“You're in Flower City, so why did you deny it?"

“I told you, it's my private matters...”

Before Ning Ran could finish her sentence, her phone rang. It was from Ouyang Qi again.

Damn it! If Nan Chen replaces out, it'll be hard for me to explain myself!

“Hello. Please stop calling me. I don't need any insurance! If you harass me again, I'm going to callthe police.” Ning Ran hung up immediately after speaking.

“It's an insurance promoter.” Ning Ran mumbled to herself, although her words seemed to bemeant for Nan Chen.

“Which insurance company is it?" asked Nan Chen.

“I didn't hear it clearly.”

"What kind of insurance are they selling?”

“I didn't ask.”

"What if you really need it?” Nan Chen pressed on.

“I don't”

“If the call is really from an insurance company, you wouldn't have said that you're not in FlowerCity. Even if the company called you, they would not ask you out for a meeting. In that case, theywon't need to know where you are, and you don't have to deny that you're in Flower City either.Hence, someone is trying to ask you out. However, as you are reluctant to, you claimed that you'renot in town.”

After a slight pause, he continued, “Wait, that's not right. Perhaps the reason you claim that you'renot in Flower City is that you're with me right now, so it's not convenient for you. In that case, is theperson who called you a male?”

It was as if Nan Chen had been possessed by Sherlock Holmes as he carried out his analysis.However, when Ning Ran heard that all of his deductions were right, she started to panic.

On some occasions, it was a happy thing to be friends with intelligent people. They couldunderstand what you meant without any excessive explanation.

However, it was a curse sometimes as they could see right through you, such that you could nothide anything from them

Evidently, Nan Chen was an extremely intelligent person. Although he was not bald like the othergeniuses, he was really top-notch.

Ning Ran was rendered speechless as Nan Chen's analysis was spot on. For a moment, she felthelpless to do anything.

“Ouyang Qi called me. He asked me out for a meal.” Ning Ran decided to tell the truth.

According to her understanding of Nan Chen, since he was already suspecting her, he woulddefinitely get to the bottom of it.

If Nan Chen wanted to investigate who called her, he probably had more than ten methods to do50.

The easiest method was to force her to give him her phone and call the number.

Another method was to pull some strings and check her phone records

Ning Ran could only think of two ways, but there were probably countless others which she had notthought of yet.

Hence, Ning Ran concluded that it would be less troublesome to come clean with Nan Chen insteadof him investigating it.

As Nan Chen did not expect Ning Ran to actually say the truth, he was momentarily stunned."Why didn't you go?”

“I don't want to.”

"Why not?”

“Because I don't want to.”

Even Dabao was frowning at his parent's meaningless conversation. Daddy and Mommy's languageskills are getting worse!

“If you don't go, he'll keep waiting for you,” stated Nan Chen coldly.

“I doubt it. We aren't even friends.”

“Really?”

Wess

Just then, Ning Ran’s phone buzzed, indicating that she had just received a message.

Ning Ran had no choice but to read it.

If she did not, Nan Chen would become even more suspicious.

It's better if I just read it. She turned on her phone and saw that it was a message that showed her arestaurant's location.

Unexpectedly, Nan Chen suddenly leaned towards her and glanced at her phone.

“You're shameless. Why are you peeking at my phone?”

“The phone's in your hands. I'm not peeking!” rebuked Nan Chen.

“But you did!"

"You showed it to me willingly!"

“Nonsense! I didn't show it to you willingly. You're the one who suddenly stuck your head over!”"Well, that's because you didn't protect your phone well. I coincidentally passed by and saw it.”Ning Ran was utterly speechless. You're a mighty CEO, yet you're so shameless! Aren't youembarrassed?

"Although that's a good restaurant, their steaks are horrible. He has no taste,” commented NanChen.

This made Ning Ran even more speechless. He actually saw the restaurant's name? Fine. So, you'renot myopic huh? Well, good for you

“Right, you're the only one who has good taste,” rebuked Ning Ran coldly.

"Of course.” Nan Chen gladly accepted the compliment.

As they bickered on, they finally arrived at the main hall where Nan Zhengde and Feng Wan werestanding.

"Great-Grandpa!” Erbao pounced into his arms.

“My darling Great-granddaughter! Let me take a look at you. Why were you hospitalized? Are youfeeling better now?”

Erbao twirled on the floor and even skipped around. “I'm already fine. Don't worry, Great-Grandpaand Great-Grandma!"

“You're such a darling! Let's go and eat. Do you have any dietary restrictions?”

“Nope. I can eat anything but nuts,” replied Erbao

"Grandpa, you can accompany the kids for dinner. I'm going out with Ning Ran to meet a friend,”announced Nan Chen suddenly.

"Huh? Aren't you eating with us?”

“No. We've already made plans with a friend, so we have to show up. You can continue without us,”explained Nan Chen.

Ning Ran was dumbfounded, not knowing what to do.

Nan Chen is bringing me out? This came out of the blue!

“Darling, have a good dinner, okay? I'm going out with Mommy for a while.” Nan Chen waved hishands.

"Okay! I hope that you and Mommy will have a nice date!” Erbao waved back to him.

Nan Zhengde and Feng Wan exchanged an incredulous glance with each other. Are they reallygoing on a date?

Their kids are already so grown! Why are they still going on dates?

Isn't it better to eat at home instead of going out? I really can't understand youngsters nowadays.“Let's go.”

Nan Chen grabbed Ning Ran’s hand and left, almost dragging her out.

Left with no choice, Ning Ran could only concede. After all, It wasn't like she could kick up a fussand insist on eating at home.

After all, she never wanted to come to the Commoner Residence in the first place. If Nan Chen werenot around, she would feel extremely awkward interacting with the two elders alone.

Hence, it was not a bad thing that Nan Chen dragged her away.

However, a worry constantly circled her mind. Is Nan Chen going to bring me to the restaurantOuyang Qi is at?
