Nan Chen was totally speechless.

Is this woman forcing me to admit that I have just gone through a breakup?

He decided to ignore her and stood up, striding to the study room.

Ning Ran froze for a while and also stood up and walked toward her bedroom, preparing to turn in.

Just as she reached her bedroom door, she was suddenly curious so she took a turn to the study room.

The door of the study room was closed but she could hear Nan Chen speaking on the phone.

Was he really experiencing a breakup? And is now making a call to salvage his relationship?

She was too inquisitive about it so she tried to open the door.

It was not locked and she pushed the door open gently with a little slit.

Nan Chen was speaking in English over the phone. Oh my goodness, so the girl who broke his heart is a Caucasian?

Ning Ran’s English fluency was not too bad so she could understand what Nan Chen was saying.

However, she failed to comprehend fully because there were too many jargons that confused her.

The call was over and there were no more voices from the study room.

Ning Ran was about to leave when the door was suddenly jerked open from within and Ning Ran who was leaning on the door immediately stumbled into the room.

Nan Chen reached out to catch her and a strong fragrance of orange blossom wafted into his nostrils, making his heart flutter.

“You’re eavesdropping?”

“No, I was standing there the entire time and did not sneak around, so it’s not eavesdropping,” Ning Ran retorted.

“Why aren’t you sleeping?”

“Aren’t you not sleeping as well?”

Their conversation ended and Nan Chen just stared at Ning Ran while she did the same thing to him.

“Come here.” Nan Chen took her into the study room and walked toward the desk, then he beckoned her to sit down.

“What are you doing?” Ning Ran wanted to know what he was up to.

“Sit down and listen to me. Don’t you want to know why I was so offbeat? I’ll tell you now.” Nan Chen pressed her on the chair.

“Alright, I’m all ears.” Ning Ran was willing to let him clear her doubts.

Nan Chen thought about it for a while before he continued, “But why should I tell you?”

This question rendered Ning Ran speechless. It was as though he was picking on her.

“Forget about it if you’re not going to tell me.” Ning Ran stood up to leave.

This time, Nan Chen did not stop her but watched as she left the study room.

Poker Face must have had a huge blow and has gone crazy.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have pulled me in and then without even a word, let me leave again. He must have gone mad.
