Initially, Ning Ran planned to hail a cab and make her way back to Red Maple City. However, she couldn’t bear to leave Nan Chen behind. So, in the end, they checked in to a nearby hotel.

After Nan Chen consumed the pills they bought from the pharmacy, he felt better.

Nevertheless, Ning Ran insisted on bringing him to the hospital because she was afraid that his condition would worsen.

No matter what, Nan Chen refused to visit the hospital as he deemed it a trivial issue.

With that, Ning Ran proceeded to call Cheng Xiangyun and asked her to take care of her children on her behalf for the time being as she would have to spend the night elsewhere.

Cheng Xiangyun assured Ning Ran that her children had behaved themselves. She had tucked them in since a few hours ago.

She even reminded her to appreciate the time they were alone. Cheng Xiangyun told her it would be the best time of her life.

Ning Ran begged to differ and rebuked her friend’s statement.

Nan Chen asked the moment he stepped out of the bathroom after he took his shower, “Who’s on the line?”

“Cheng Xiangyun.”

“Really?”

“Who else could it be? How are you felling?”

“Fine. Actually, it’s not a big deal either.” Nan Chen stated arrogantly, behaving as though nothing had occurred.

“Thankfully, everything is fine. I thought you finally learned how to savor spicy food. You could have told me-”

Nan Chen approached Ning Ran in a domineering manner while lowering his head. He then stared at her in the eyes as he repeated himself, “Have I not made myself clear? I’m fine.”

Ning Ran was taken aback by Nan Chen’s reaction. She took a step back immediately because she was afraid something bad might befall her. “You’re right! I’m pretty sure you’re as fit as a fiddle!”

“It’s your turn to take a shower,” Nan Chen suggested as he pointed in the direction of the bathroom.

“That won’t be necessary. Since you’re fine, I shall make my way home immediately.” Ning Ran reached for her bag and was about to leave.

“The production had come to an end. You don’t have to return to the set anymore, right?” Nan Chen reminded her.

“Exactly! I wanted to return home because I don’t always get a break. Finally, I get to drop my kids off and pick them up from school! I can’t wait to make them their meals throughout the entire day!” Ning Ran shared her upcoming plan for her day off with Nan Chen.

“It’s too late. We’ll talk about it tomorrow morning.”

“What do you mean?”

“It means you’re staying for the night.”

“H-Huh? W-We’re the only ones in the room...”

“What about it? It’s not the first time either, right?”

Ning Ran was rendered speechless by Nan Chen’s words because he was right; it wasn’t the first time they spent a night by one another’s side.

“Fine. I’ll take a shower first, but please go ahead and sleep first. You don’t have to wait for me.”
