Ning Ran, without a doubt, was getting more and more familiar with Commoner Residence.

After all, she had visited it so many times that she knew the place's layout and its rules like the back of her hand.

More importantly, there was also a sense of intimacy brought on by her acknowledgment and appreciation of Nan Chen.

During Ning Ran's initial interactions with the latter, she was always anxious and apprehensive about going to Commoner Residence.

Then again, how could she not? She was a small fry compared to the powerful Nan family, which had her worried that they might snatch her children from her at any moment.

Thankfully, that never happened. Even though there had been occasional fights and disagreements between her and Nan Chen, he had never once abused his family's power to take the children away.

Nan Chen might seem authoritative and aloof, but till now, Ning Ran still hadn't found any evidence to suggest that the Nan family threw their weight around.

With that, her fear of the family gradually faded and was replaced with awe and respect.

When Ning Ran stepped into the Commoner Residence once again, she was no longer a bundle of nerves. In fact, the house now felt like a haven for her, where she knew she'd be well-protected and loved.

Of course, Ning Ran couldn't have gotten that far without Nan Zhengde and Feng Wan's efforts. They were the ones who helped her develop a sense of security instead of making her feel threatened or rejected.

Feng Wan even pulled Ning Ran close to her and looked her over. “Did that kidnapper hurt you? Did he make things difficult for you?”

“No, not at all. He was fierce, but he didn't subject me to any abuse. I appreciate your concern, Mrs. Nan,” Ning Ran said smilingly.

“That's good to hear. Please be more careful in the future and don't fall into those people's hands again. We were almost scared to death! Women are usually more vulnerable, so we must learn to protect ourselves.”

“Yes, Mrs. Nan. I'll keep that in mind.”
