Ning Ran was woken up in the middle of the night by a loud noise.
Because she had to protect her kids, she dared not step out the cabin. All she could hear was a set of footsteps
outside.
The sound of footsteps slowly stopped after a while, and the peaceful silence returned.
She then came out and asked Qiao Zhan what had happened.
“We let our guard down, and your kidnappers took that chance to escape. We chased them for a few hundred
meters but Mr. Nan Chen told us to stop and let them go as it would be dangerous if we went too far.” Qiao Zhan
said.
“I see.” Ning Ran nodded and returned to the cabin.
She only found out the next day that the kidnappers had not only escaped, but had also taken Luo Fei with them.
No one knew whether Luo Fei had helped them escape or they had helped Luo Fei escape.
In the end, both Luo Fei and the kidnappers have vanished into the dense forest.
It was already difficult as it is to walk out of the forest during the day, let alone at night.
The chances of these people making it out alive after running into the forest like that was almost zero.
Nan Chen looked gloomy during breakfast.
Ning Ran dared not come near him for fear of angering him.
After lunch, Ning Ran helped tidy up the kitchen and realized there was an unfinished bowl of rice.
“Who’s wasting food here? We’re already running out of food soon, and you still waste it?” Ning Ran asked.
No one said anything.
But Ning Ran noticed them looking at Nan Chen.
Ning Ran was shocked. So this was his?
She wouldn’t have said all that if she knew it was him.
She quickly shut her mouth and continued tidying up in silence.
But it was too late, as Nan Chen was already walking over to her.
“I have an upset stomach, so there’s a bit leftover.” His voice was cold.
This wasn’t an explanation! He was clearly questioning her!

Although he didn’t say it directly, the meaning behind his words was clear, So I had some leftovers. You have a
problem with that?
“I understand.” Ning Ran said hurriedly.
“I can heat it up and eat it for my next meal.” Nan Chen said again.
“You don’t have to, there wasn’t much left anyway. Forget I said anything.” Ning Ran wanted to end this
conversation as soon as possible.
“Then why did you say something?” Nan Chen’s voice grew colder.
Ning Ran paused.
“I’m sorry.” Ning Ran could only apologize.
But apologizing didn’t calm Nan Chen down, and only made him angrier instead.
She was right, so why was she apologizing? Why is she so hypocritical?
Once a person has disliked another, everything they do will seem offensive.
After everything Luo Fei said about Ning Ran, Nan Chen had thought of her as an evil woman rotten to the core. As
a result, everything Ning Ran said or did would come off as annoying to him.
“Why did you apologize?” Nan Chen asked coldly.
Ning Ran was losing control of her hot temper.
Is he trying to pick a fight?
I’ve already apologized, what more do you want with me?
“Mr. Nan Chen, I know you’re in a bad mood, but you don’t have to take it out on me, right?” Ning Ran’s voice grew
cold as well.
“How would you know that I’m in a bad mood? Do you know me very well?”
As Nan Chen stood in front of Ning Ran, his body exuded a cold aura.
“Your girlfriend is missing, so obviously you would be in a bad mood.” Ning Ran said angrily.
Nan Chen looked angrier than before now. Is she mocking me?
“I’ll have you know, even though I have a bad history with your girlfriend, her disappearance has nothing to do with
me, so I am not taking responsibility for that!”
“Why do you have a bad history with her?” Nan Chen asked.
“It’s a long story. You don’t have the time to hear it, nor am I in the mood to tell it.”
“Was it to get a role in a film?”
Ning Ran was shocked. He knew about that? Luo Fei actually admitted to selling her to someone for a role?
“Yes.” Ning Ran nodded.
Nan Chen looked angrier now. So Luo Fei was telling the truth! This woman had just admitted to it!
“You actually did that?!” Nan Chen shouted.
“I had no other choice; it was all I could do.” Ning Ran said.
So she means to say that her action of harming others was justified?
“Your mother will never forgive you for that!”
Ning Ran felt a sting in her heart at the mention of her mother. She didn’t even get to see her one final time, so her
mother would definitely not forgive her.
“That is my biggest regret. My mother would never forgive me indeed.” Ning Ran said sadly.
Nan Chen was furious now. You’ve killed your own mother, and all you feel is regret?! Just how vicious could this
woman be, to make light of something like this?
“All you feel is regret?!”
“It is also a pain that I carry with me, but there is nothing I can do about it because we can’t turn back time!” Ning
Ran continued as she sobbed.
Nan Chen felt that he could not continue the conversation anymore. This woman killed her own mother and all she
felt was a little regret!
Nan Chen was worried that if he had carried on, he would end up violating his principles and hit this woman!
He gave her a cold snort and walked away.
Ning Ran stood there; her mind still immersed in the sadness about her mother.
The wounds of regret in her heart had always been stored away in her memories. Reopening the old wounds
suddenly like that was still very painful for her.
“Mommy, did you and Uncle Nan Chen have a fight?” Erbao who had been eavesdropping outside came in.
“No.” Ning Ran composed herself.
“But I clearly heard you two arguing.”
“We really didn’t. We were just having a discussion, not arguing.”
“Were you discussing about mommy’s mommy?” Erbao asked it like a tongue twister.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Yes. You should call her grandma.” Ning Ran said.
“What kind of person was grandma?” Erbao asked with her eyes open wide.
“Grandma was a very kind and beautiful person. If she was still around, she would definitely love you very much.”
“Hmm, it’s a shame that grandma’s not around anymore. I haven’t even met her.” Erbao said.
Ning Ran had wanted to tell her that grandma was killed by someone else but decided not to.
It was not good for children to learn so much about hatred as it would affect their mental growth.
“That’s alright, grandma is watching over you from the heavens above! She told me in my dreams that she loves
Dabao and Erbao very much!”
“Really? Then why didn’t she come to see me in my dreams?”
Ning Ran didn’t know what to say in response to that.
“Go out and play now, mommy’s got work to do.”
“Mommy, I’m getting tired of this boring place. When can we go home? I want to go back to school!”
Ning Ran didn’t know how to answer that question either.
She wanted to leave as well, but they had to wait for rescue to come, and no one knew when or whether rescue
was coming.
“It should be soon, don’t worry.” Ning Ran could only try to comfort Erbao.
“Never mind, I’ll try asking Uncle Nan Chen, he should know.”
Ning Ran quickly stopped her, “He’s in a bad mood now, don’t go disturb him or he’ll scold you.”
“No, Uncle Nan Chen won’t scold me. He never has.” Erbao had her own views on that.
“Alright then, go ask him then if you’re not afraid of getting scolded. Just don’t come crying to me later.” Ning Ran
said.
“I will not do such a thing; don’t talk nonsense in front of the kids.”
The voice came from behind. Nan Chen had suddenly returned.
That annoyed Ning Ran. First you eavesdrop on my conversation with my daughter, then you say I’m talking
nonsense?
