Ning Ran didn't utter a single word on the way back.

When she arrived at Mountview Inn, she went straight for a bath before changing her clothes.

Nan Chen played with the children for a while before pulling out his laptop to handle his emails.

Ning Ran wasn't feeling particularly great, so she entered the bedroom after she was done cleaning herself.

Soon after she lay on the bed, Nan Chen arrived in his pajamas.

He didn't need to use a crutch inside the building because the walls were his support.

Just as he was about to lie down, Ning Ran stopped him. “There's another bedroom next to this one. You should sleep there.”

“The children are watching. Besides, I came all the way here to stay with you. How can you ask me to sleep in another bed?” Nan Chen retorted.

I hate it when he uses the children as an excuse. Furrowing her eyebrows, she suggested, “You can sleep on the couch.”

“My leg's impaired. What if I fall from the couch and hurt it again?”

“Fine, then I'll just sleep on the couch. Are you happy with that?”

“Sounds good to me.”

Nan Chen's blunt answer ticked off Ning Ran. “That's not right. This is my bedroom. What right do you have to make me sleep on the couch?”

“I didn't make you do that. You were the one who said you wanted to. There's nothing I can do about it.”

She was so infuriated that she couldn't squeeze a word out of her mouth. Then she left the bed and leaped onto the couch.

However, she swiftly realized there wasn't a blanket on the couch, so she turned back to the bed, ready to grab the one on that furniture.

Unfortunately, Nan Chen was already lying on the bed with the blanket pinned underneath him. She couldn't pull it out.

“This is my blanket! Go find your own!” Ning Ran barked.

“I'm using this one. Why is it suddenly yours?”

Regardless of how hard she pulled, she couldn't remove the blanket from his grip.

It blew her top off. Fine! I don't want it anymore! It's not like I'll freeze to death!

Thus, she returned to the couch and lay there.

Seconds later, Nan Chen left the bed and approached the couch.

Ning Ran's eyes remained shut as she was too annoyed to speak to him further.

“Go back to the bed and sleep there. If you don't, I'll have to carry you there while my leg's still limping. Should I do that, my injury will undoubtedly worsen. Are you really willing to see that? It'll mean my recovery so far will be for naught,” Nan Chen uttered.

Is he trying to put on a pitiful act, or is he threatening me? Maybe both? She wondered.
