The next day, Jiang Zhe sent a driver to Ning Ran's workplace to fetch her and bring her to Nan Chen's office.

Nan Chen was wearing a black tuxedo in his office when Ning Ran opened the door and walked in. He was momentarily stunned.

He had assumed Nan Xing's identity and had put on a white tuxedo to meet Ning Ran twice. Those interactions felt different from the one he was having at that time.

The only consistency had been that sweet orange blossom scent.

Nan Chen had tried to run away from that scent for years, but he never succeeded.

Ning Ran scanned Nan Chen. For some reason, she found Nan Chen to be less distant that day.

It must've been my misconception. Ning Ran thought.

Jiang Zhe was as polite as ever and asked, “Please take a seat, Ms. Ding. Would you like tea or coffee?”

“She doesn't like either,” said Nan Chen.

Ning Ran was stunned. I didn't even answer. How would you know if I like it?

Or are you implying that I am not worthy of the coffee you serve?

“Coffee,” said Ning Ran, “Two large cups of coffee, please. I'm parched.”

Nan Chen was startled. So this is what the legendary saying 'drinking like a cow' meant. Two large cups of coffee?

Jiang Zhe was also flabbergasted. Does she really want to drink so much coffee or was she just being angry?

That being said, an employee of Nan Chen knew how to deal with it either way. He prepared a cup of coffee for Ning Ran and said, “Please enjoy this coffee one cup at a time.”

If you want more, I can refill it for you. That'll solve the problem!

Nan Chen cleared his throat.

“Oh yes. Ms. Ding, we invited you over today to ask you about your wedding preferences. I am the person in charge of planning the wedding so if you have any requests, please do let me know.”

Ning Ran had just taken a sip of coffee. Upon hearing that, she almost spat everything out.

“What wedding?”

Jiang Zhe turned to Nan Chen as he thought Darn, the bride has no idea what's going on? Isn't that a little extreme?

“The wedding between you and Young Master Xing, of course,” replied Jiang Zhe.
