In fact, it was Bai Hua’s own lapse in judgement.

The fact that Nan Chen would bring Ning Ran to Nan Zhengde’s birthday banquet had proven that he thought highly of that woman.

To call the woman he brought to Nan Zhengde’s birthday banquet a clown—his indignation was justifiable.

If it weren’t because Bai Hua was his mother, Nan Chen would have already left the place.

“All right, I may have crossed the line. I hope you don’t mind.” Bai Hua took a step back.

Nan Chen kept a straight face and said nothing.

“But as your mom, I hope you can understand that I’m saying this for your own good.”

Nan Chen remained silent.

He resented how the adults tended to quote “it’s for your own good” to meddle with their children’s lives without showing any respect.

“I’m in charge of my life,” Nan Chen responded stiffly, leaving no room for discussion.

Bai Hua was momentarily lost for words.

Initially, she wanted to persuade Nan Chen to consider going out with Ouyang Qing, saying that they were a match made in heaven. But she swallowed her words upon hearing his unyielding response.

“If there’s nothing else, I’ll make a move first.” Nan Chen rose to his feet.

“Stay for a while. I’ll get Qing to get you some fruits,” Bai Hua quickly stopped him before shouting for Ouyang Qing.

Ouyang Qing came out in a hurry, thinking that she had sealed the deal.

But upon seeing Nan Chen’s face, she dared not say anything, for she knew at once that their conversation earlier was an unpleasant one.

“Qing, how about you cut some fruits for Chen?” Bai Hua gave Ouyang Qing a look.

“Okay,” Ouyang Qing agreed instantly.

Meanwhile, Erbao had finished her food and was staring at Ning Ran, who was in a daze.

“Mommy, what are you thinking? Why aren’t you eating? The steak is getting cold.”

“I don’t really like the taste.” Ning Ran acted as if nothing was on her mind.
