By the time Ning Ran returned to Raining Pavilion, she was surprised to see Nan Chen back. He was sitting on the couch in the living room, solemnly talking about something.

The two children were in small chairs as they sat opposite Nan Chen and listened to him.

The moment Ning Ran came back, Erbao hopped off the chair and hugged Ning Ran's leg. “Mommy...”

The girl sounded distressed, and Ning Ran could not help but wonder what Nan Chen had said to them.

“What did you do? Why is the girl so frightened?” Ning Ran questioned angrily.

“I didn't do anything,” Nan Chen responded with an innocent look.

“Then why is she so upset?”

“I was telling the kids how to save themselves if their parents were kidnapped by bad guys,” Nan Chen somberly explained.

“Why are you talking about this? Look at how you've frightened Erbao. It's okay, Darling, Daddy's only talking about the 'what if's,” Ning Ran reassured as she lifted the girl into her arms.

“Daddy's right. It's good for us to learn how to save ourselves. That way, we'll have a higher chance of escaping if we encounter bad guys. I think it's necessary for us to be taught this. Daddy's only talking about a possibility, but Erbao's already scared out of her wits. All the more reason why Daddy should teach us about this,” Dabao uttered, showing his support for Nan Chen's actions.

At that, Nan Chen turned to Ning Ran and gave her a look. “Look, even your son's more reasonable than you.”

“How are children as young as them going to save themselves? They're still young, and the adults should be protecting them. What we need to do is to ensure that they won't be kidnapped in the first place—not teach them how to save themselves after they're kidnapped!” Ning Ran disagreed.

“Of course we have to protect them to the best of our ability, but that doesn't mean accidents won't happen. That's why it's necessary for us to teach them about ensuring their own safety. It's just like fire and earthquake drills. They might not ever encounter one in their lives, but they should know the necessary information for them to stay safe. That way, they'll have a higher chance to stay unscathed.”

Nan Chen was not going to back down. He felt that he was right and that even his son knew why he was teaching them these. As a matter of fact, he found it absurd that Ning Ran did not agree with him.

“All right, that's enough, Mommy. Daddy's right. He just wants us to be more capable and be able to protect ourselves.” Even Erbao was siding with Nan Chen now.

At that, Ning Ran thought; You little traitor, you're changing sides so quickly!

“Okay, this is the end of the argument. Continue what you were doing earlier. I'm going to pack my bag now. I'll be going back to filming tomorrow,” Ning Ran then said.

“You don't need to rush back tomorrow. I promised to bring the kids to Commoner Residence to eat with their great-grandma.”
